This week, we bring you three new eateries that opened for business in the last two weeks across a few neighborhoods.



807 Ellis St. (at Polk)

The Pork Exchange, a pork-focused restaurant that we wrote about last month, finally opened for business earlier this week in the Tenderloin. It took over Thai 4 You's former location after the Southeast Asian eatery closed its doors on February 28th of this year.

Diners can expect to find seven different sliders, including curry chicken, pork belly, pulled pork and more, for $3.50-$4. There are also a few side options and desserts to choose from that will cost about the same price as the sliders.

Customers have also been raving about the great service and wait staff they've experienced while at the restaurant. Pork enthusiasts can make their way to the eatery six days a week—it's closed on Sunday—from 10am to 7pm.
