HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — A former cabinet shop will be transformed into the latest arrival in the Short Pump restaurant scene.
Jennifer Chen plans to open Seven Stars Asian Café at 11331 W. Broad St. in Short Pump Station, next to West Broad Village. The family business has a 10-year lease on the 3,200-square-foot space that’s neighbor to Trader Joe’s, Petco and other retailers.
Seven Stars will serve Korean barbecue, Chinese, Japanese and Thai food.
Chen previously worked at restaurants her family owned in the area.
“We always wanted to open a restaurant in the Short Pump area,” Chen said. “I feel it is the heart of Richmond.”
The space was left vacant when Old River Cabinets went bankrupt in 2012.
