A popular restaurant chain known for its unique fusion of Texan and Korean flavors is set to open a new location in the former spot of a Chiquito restaurant in Ashford. Korean Cowgirl, with its tantalizing blend of oriental spices and American barbecue, has been making waves at its current branches in Canterbury and Boughton-under-Blean.
The Kent-based chain is famous for its slow-cooked dishes and is now looking to bring its mouthwatering menu to Eureka Park. The new location will be housed in the former Chiquito building, which has been vacant for four years. The restaurant recently submitted a licensing application to Ashford Borough Council, seeking permission to operate seven days a week, serve alcohol until midnight, and play recorded music.
While an opening date for the new restaurant has not been confirmed yet, fans of Korean Cowgirl can look forward to enjoying their signature fried chicken wings in a vibrant new setting. The chain, which currently has branches in Canterbury Riverside and The Cave near Faversham, is excited to expand its reach and introduce more diners to its unique culinary offerings.
The move comes as part of a larger trend in the restaurant industry, with many establishments reevaluating their locations and business models in the wake of the pandemic. The Restaurant Group, which owns popular brands like Frankie & Benny’s and Wagamama, made the decision to permanently close 61 out of 80 Chiquito branches, including the one in Ashford.
As the community eagerly anticipates the arrival of Korean Cowgirl at Eureka Park, the transformation of the former Chiquito spot symbolizes a new chapter for dining in the area. With its innovative blend of flavors and commitment to quality, the restaurant is sure to become a beloved fixture in the local food scene. Stay tuned for updates on the opening of this exciting new eatery and get ready to experience a culinary journey like no other.
