Sudbury restaurant serving Chinese and Japanese food didn't open March 5. What happened
SUDBURY — A Route 20 restaurant wasn't able to open for business on Wednesday after it experienced an overnight kitchen fire, according to Fire Chief Timothy Choate. Choate said he does not know how long Lotus Blossom, 394 Boston Post Road (Route 20), will remain closed. No one from the restaurant, which typically opens at 11:30 a.m., could be reached for comment on Wednesday. 'They will have to be closed for cleanup and repairs for the damage,' Choate said. The chief said firefighters responded to the Chinese and Japanese restaurant at 12:47 a.m. Wednesday after an alarm went off due to the business' fire suppression system being activated. Upon arrival, they found smoke coming from the building and once firefighters entered the building, they discovered fire in the kitchen, according to a Sudbury Fire Department press release. 'There will be no reopening': Lotus Flower restaurant in Framingham has closed The fire was quickly knocked down and no one was injured. Choate said the sprinkler system helped contain the fire until firefighters arrived. 'Last night, the system worked,' he said. 'What ended up happening is the fire suppression held the fire in check. Had it not operated as designed, the damage would have been much worse.' The Framingham and Wayland fire departments provided mutual aid at the scene, while Concord, Marlborough and Maynard provided station coverage. A portion of Boston Post Road remained closed for about an hour. Choate said all food in the restaurant had to be discarded, and that the town Building Department would determine when Lotus Blossom can reopen. No one from the Building Department could be reached on Wednesday. Lotus Blossom opened in 1991, according to its website. Its management said the restaurant "blends authentic recipes with contemporary influences" to "create modern dishes using traditional techniques and the finest quality ingredients." The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Sudbury Fire Department and Massachusetts State Police assigned to the state Fire Marshal's Office.
