Dok Mali has announced plans to close their South Portland location, Dok Mali Noodle Bar. Their last day in business will be this Saturday. The flagship Dok Mali restaurant on India Street is not impacted by the change. Owner Nonglack Thanephonesy launched her India Street location in 2022, and the noodle bar in 2024.
Old Orchard Beach’s Asia House will be taking over the noodle bar space where owners Piranun Piradetpaopong and Rossarin Penna plan to open Asia House Kitchen and Bar (instagram). They will be serving a pan-Asian menu featuring poke, Thai dishes and Korean dishes. Renovations are underway with hopes of launch the restaurant and bar by the end of September.
