"Founded in 2015 in New Haven by Yong Zhao and Wanting Zhang, Junzi Kitchen has grown into a fast-casual presence in Manhattan with four locations and a strong reputation; I note the founders previously discussed plans to open as many as 20 locations across the city. The company is also using its resources and a recent $5 million fundraising round to pursue an ambitious plan to modernize several at-risk Chinese takeout restaurants so they can continue serving American–Chinese food." - Luke Fortney
