The latest addition to Riverside Village’s restaurant boom, Golden Prawn #3 is a classic Chinese takeout restaurant helmed by Gracie Nguyen and Chad Newton of You Are Here Hospitality. Slated to open in Summer 2025 at 1404 McGavock Pike, the concept will serve Chinese takeout favorites — including wok-fired dishes served from a hot bar and curated à la carte menu.
Inspired by Newton and Nguyen’s childhood memories of Chinese takeout, the menu is an homage to a cuisine they’ve long loved and will include familiar classics. Nguyen brings expertise in wok cooking that is rooted in traditional Chinese techniques and honed through years of working alongside Chinese and Vietnamese chefs and mentors.
The space — designed in collaboration with Fresh Creative Studios — will feel instantly familiar, with a warm palette of red, gold, and cream hues. A glowing neon sign marks the entrance, guiding guests into interiors wrapped in custom wallpaper featuring playful illustrations of prawns and takeout boxes. Framed vintage Chinese takeout menus will line the walls, adding to the sense of nostalgia and rendering tribute to restaurants from across the country. At the heart of it all is the hot bar — where that classic Chinese takeout experience extends beyond the design and onto the menu.
Golden Prawn #3 will be open daily for lunch and dinner. Orders can be placed in person, online, or by phone for takeout or delivery only.
