A Bite of China opens, MIchael's Noodles closes in Rockville

A Bite of China has opened in the College Plaza shopping center at 15106-A Frederick Road in Rockville. Asian-style kabob skewers are a house specialty. Meanwhile, Michael's Noodles has closed at Travilah Square. A source tells me the landlord declined to offer the popular restaurant a new lease to clear space for a new Trader Joe's grocery store at the shopping center.

Michael's Noodles is having an auction of its equipment - everything must go, from dining tables to sinks to walk-in coolers. Even the fax machine is up for grabs. See the auction page for full details on how to bid.
