They promised their Alki closure at the end of 2018 wasn’t the end of their acclaimed restaurant … and indeed, it wasn’t. The Khazaal family has announced they’ll reopen Phoenecia in The Junction this summer. The new space, 4717 42nd SW, was previously home to Alchemy (evicted last December). The Junction is a past home as well as future home for Phoenecia; as noted when the family patriarch Hussein Khazaal died a decade ago, it is where he founded the restaurant in the 1970s.
Awesome news! So happy and excited to hear Phoenecia will be back.
WOOHOOO!!!!Looking forward to this! I never got to try their lamb!
Excellent news.I hope to see some of the long time servers return and I wish that Phoenicia re-commits to the quality of cuisine that established them.Best wishes and look forward to comparing the new with fond memories of the old.
Great news!!! Much loved family and food. I wish them great success in the new location.
thrilled that they’ve decided to occupy that space and continue to provide their exceptional service and food to west seattleites! may your new space afford years of success!
I went there with a friend for the first time in early May1996 to celebrate the full price offer I made to buy my first home where I still live and was rewarded with memorable food and drink that welcomed me to Alki. Certainly it has always been a place for quality food and classy traditional hospitality found elsewhere only at La Rustica, imho. I have no financial connection to either establishment.
Yes you do – In so far as you hand them money for delicious food =]
Best news ever! Our family is so excited! C and C have missed you all so much!
So excited for them, and how fantastic to have a local family restaurant in the junction.
This will be nothing short of a grand success for some of the best people I ever had the pleasure of getting to know during my years in the industry.
Yay! So excited that the Alki location wasn’t the end. You all are amazing!
Sorry, comment time is over.
