Reopening as a new concept next year via Washington City Paper.

Closing after New Years Eve via Tom Sietsema. From the website:

Washington City Paper article about the new chef Robert Curtis and his new menu.

The Wharf has a parking garage with discounted parking for an hour if you buy at the fish market. It fills up when there are shows at the Anthem and later in the day on weekends. The website has real time garage occupancy info (click on car and parking). From the Wharf's website:

The former owner of Mio has opened High Street Cafe at 1303 Wisconsin Ave in Georgetown (via High Street's Facebook page and Washington City Paper)

A location has opened at the Wharf in DC (via Washingtonian).

From an article in the Washingtonian about the new Bombay Street Food in Columbia Heights:

A location opened in Spring Valley at 4850 Massachusetts Ave on Dec. 3, 2018 (press release on PoPville).

To clarify, you mean Asiatique? Le Kon has alcohol.

Opening at Pike and Rose in Rockville, Md on Aug. 7, 2018 (via Bethesda Magazine).

Using the Find a Red Mango Near You on their website, looks like there are no more locations in the DC area.
