Come for the food, stay for the vibe at Neighborhood Kitchen, a new Asian-Caribbean-southern comfort fusion restaurant on Spring Street owned by Joy Phoubaykham and Eddie George (Chef Flexx). Read on for a special Medford Spotlight coupon.
The eclectic menu offers something for everyone, from a variety of chicken wings, which you can pair with Neighborhood waffles such as pink velvet, red velvet, Asian sesame & scallion, or honey cornbread, to Flexx Mac & Cheese or Caribbean Lasagna made with sweet plantains, tomato sauce, béchamel, cheese and ground beef. We talked with Joy to find out more about Neighborhood Kitchen.
What is the concept of the restaurant?
We wanted to create a space that is casual where you can hang out and not feel pressured to leave, and have a good time. My friends want to eat what they grew up with, and I want to eat what I grew up with, so when it comes to going out to eat, nobody’s satisfied, so I wanted to bring a place where someone can have burgers and macaroni and cheese and they can also get a little bit of Asian fusion. I’m a fan of flavor and that’s what we want to show the city of Medford – we want to show them flavor.
Why did you decide to open Neighborhood Kitchen?
I was introduced to Chef Flexx by my husband and we hit it off because we both like to cook. We had the same goal, we always wanted to own a restaurant, and we really wanted to put our food out there. And we work really well together, and that’s really hard to find. When I walked in, I thought this was the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen, and went for it. We’re always improving and we’re always taking feedback. We want the neighborhood to want us here and we want to be a part of the community.
What’s your favorite thing on the menu?
The Spring Street Chicken Sandwich. It’s a little bit spicy, a little bit sweet, a little bit salty. It’s fried chicken breast, with Asian hot oil, chipotle mayo, pickles, and bacon jam.
