A new restaurant appears set to replace the short-lived Sticx restaurant at 1728 Wisconsin Ave. According to an Old Georgetown Board application, the restaurant will be called Han Palace. It will be the third location for the Chinese restaurant. The website indicates it will have a soft open on Feb. 24th.
No word yet on whether they will use the upstairs wine-bar space. Sticx–which had the bad timing of opening right before Covid–had amusingly called this upstairs space Stonz (get it? sticks and stones?). It’s also unclear–with Shanghai Lounge so close–if there’s demand for two Chinese restaurants literally feet from one another. Time will tell.
In either event, it’s great to see this space come back to life after being vacant for so long. Before Sticx opened in 2020, the building had been empty since 2015 when P.O. Boxes Etc. moved out. Lets hope this unlucky run has come to an end.

You caught me with the phrase “one-and-other” since I have always used “one another.” My cursory search through the Goog
Wait…Han Palace, as in the Han Palaces in Woodley and Cap Hill? I don’t wanna seem selfish, but this would be incredible for me.
My first thought was “another Chinese restaurant?” but then looked at their website of other locations. Decor looks nice and could be a good date night place. We were so sad Sticx closed as it was so good and so close to us.
Yay, Han Palace dim sum is the bomb!
