Wichita restaurant was about to get a second rebrand. Now it's just plain closed.

The restaurant space on the northeast corner of Central and Maize has gone through a bit of an identity crisis over the past couple of years. After operating for years as a Planet Sub, the space at 10330 W. Central was taken over by local restaurateur Johnny Chandra and some partners, who opened it in January 2025 as a dual-concept fried chicken and boba restaurant called Crispy & Co/HaneBe. Then, in March, the owners renamed the restaurant Zen Bento and began serving bento boxes with choices such as spicy pork bulgogi, udon noodles, Chinese sweet-and-spicy chicken, and General Tso’s chicken. But in August, Zen Bento closed, and a sign posted on the door said the restaurant was closed for remodeling and would be rebranded as a sushi bar. Those plans are now off, Chandra said. “We decided not to reopen with the new concept because we weren’t able to find a partner to run it,” he said. Now, the 2,360-square-foot space is listed for lease with Landmark Commercial Real Estate . Chandra and his partners have opened several other restaurants in Wichita over the past eight years, starting with Tuptim Thai, 2121 N. Rock Road, in October 2018 and followed

Large proposed multifamily development in Goddard clears a hurdle

Even as Wichita-area homebuyers continue to struggle to find attainable housing options, the city of Goddard is close to giving approvals for Lange Real Estate to be able to move forward with a development that could help ease at least some of that demand. Lange wants to build duplexes, and perhaps quadplexes, sixplexes and even a limited number of single-family homes, on a 155-acre site west of 167th Street West between Maple and Central. In an interview with The Eagle, Ryan Mills, director of development for Lange Real Estate, said there is likely to be approximately 275 lots with a total of 550 to 600 residences in the phased development, with tentative price points anywhere from the mid-$200,000s to $350,000. At its Nov. 9 meeting, the Goddard Planning Commission approved a zoning change and development plan necessary for Lange’s project to go forward. The Goddard City Council will consider final approval of the project at its Nov. 16 meeting. “We’re challenged with: How do you provide moderate affordable housing options and do that in an efficient manner?” Mills said at the planning commission meeting. “I think it’s important for the community to understand that diversity in housing is an obstacle
