Grill Fish up for mid-January

Last time we mentioned Benny Lai's Grill Fish Café (814 S. 47th St.), the Vietnam owner was working with a feng shui master (aka his uncle) to determine the best possible time to open his small, liquor-licensed Southeast Asian seafood restaurant in West Philly (814 S. 47th St.). Looks like unc's hit on it — Lai will open the 30-seater, which is actually connected to his enormous Vietnam Café (816 S. 47th St.), on Jan. 14, a Saturday. Dinner only when it launches. Not much on the menu just yet but we'll surely update with info.
UPDATE [2:30 p.m.]: A couple quickies off the proposed opening menu — apps will include fried shrimp rolls, grilled squid and shrimp and steamed clams; entrée section will see dishes like clam noodles, tilapia, fluke, mixed seafood and a grilled whole fish (like the bronzino above) at market price.
