East Asia Restaurant at the Powder House Square has closed, according to Boston Restaurant Talk, Davis Square Livejournal and other blogs. East Asia Restaurant, which served Chinese and Thai cuisine, was recently nominated on Somerville Patch as one of the best Asian restaurants in the city, and, as Boston Restaurant Talk points out, it was once featured on Boston's Hidden Restaurants.

It's called DooWee & Rice, and this is what the new restaurant's website says about it, in the words of the new owner: My name is DooWee (duy) and I am a young chef with big dreams! … and as of July 2012 my dreams and ideas are all coming together in the form of a small fusion test…
