Quang’s Vietnamese Bistro in Troy, the first venture as owner for former Peck’s Arcade server Quang Tran, will open Wednesday (2/6) for a soft-opening week. The restaurant is in the back of the 4-month-old Kim’s Convenience, an Asian bodega at 88 Third St., near Congress Street and across from Dunkin’ in downtown Troy.

Tran tells me he is opening with a small menu as a reflection of the minimal space — 26 seats — and even smaller kitchen. He says the menu “focuses on some of the classic Vietnamese dishes that I grew up with. When we get more comfortable with the space, I will offer specials and expand the menu gradually.” The restaurant does not yet have its liquor license.

Hours at first will be 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday to Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday.
