After closing the Mission locale over nine years ago -- has it really been nine years?! -- Charles Phan recently told Tamara Palmer what he plans on doing with the old Slanted Door space at 584 Valencia space. While teaching a cooking class for kids at the Ferry Building on Saturday, Phan revealed that a new restaurant, tentatively named Wo Hing General Store, will focus on Chinese food. And that's not all.

Palmer reports: "Phan tells The Feast that, while this new restaurant (named after a nickname for his late father) will feature Chinese cooking, it will not be similar to what's offered at his Heaven's Dog restaurant. There will be a full cocktail program, and Phan says he would like to also develop a substantial list of original non-alcoholic beverages."

He hopes to open in September.
