James Lee, who owns Black Dog Cafe in Skippack Village (and, we hear, is working on several upcoming restaurant projects in Lansdale) took over the space that was Anjou (206 Market St., 215-922-6222), and for a sec, Maru, for Old City Asian Bistro, open since last Wednesday. Spread across two floors, the quite-literally-named restaurant is serving a big mix of sushi and Chinese-American wok-style dishes, topping out at $20. They're doing a Bento Box deal from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. — get entrÃ©es like shrimp in garlic sauce, Thai curry chicken or basil salmon, plus soup, salad, shumai, California roll and rice, for $9. Right now they're BYO, but management expects a liquor license to kick in within the next three months; they have plans to launch delivery in the coming weeks, too. They're open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
