Golden Bamboo Opening in North Adams

By Tammy Daniels iBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A city restaurant will open with a new name but familiar faces. 
 
Meng Wu "Jason" Wang and Yaling "Joy" Wang are opening the Golden Bamboo in the Berkshire Plaza on Main Street. 
 
They were approved for liquor license by the License Commission this week and expect to open April 15. 
 
The couple has operated three restaurants in the plaza, including the China Buffet and, separately, the Sushi House. Those were consolidated in 2017 as Meng's Pan-Asian.
 
They sold the restaurant business in early 2024, intending to retire, but the purchasers fell afoul of health ordinances and closed. 
 
Leah King, a friend and former owner of the Wigwam, represented the Wangs during the hearing. 
 
"The corporate structure is slightly different," she said. "Certainly the No. 1 thing is there was a need to rebrand and change the name for very obvious reasons."
