The storefront at 855 Worcester Rd that has long been a fixture for locals as Uncle Cheung's is preparing to flip its sign. A new license application filed this week signals the arrival of U Dumpling House, marking the latest chapter in the property's evolution from a decades-old eatery to a new culinary venture.
Feng Li, the incoming owner, submitted the Common Victualer license application on November 18, 2025. This filing is the final administrative step for a deal already in motion: Li's entity, Feng Yan Li Chen, LLC, agreed to purchase the real estate for $1.575 million, a transaction contingent on the successful transfer of the liquor license.
The transition began earlier this summer. During a June 26 meeting of the Framingham Board of License Commissioners, the board approved the license transfer from Uncle Cheung's to the new entity. While the building itself dates back to 1900 and sits within a busy commercial corridor, the change in ownership represents a significant capital move in the area, with the new owner stepping in to take over operations.
This is not the first time this address has changed hands or faces. The property at 855 Worcester Rd has generated 311 municipal records since the year 2000, reflecting its active history in the city's commercial landscape. As of this filing, the license status remains pending final processing, but the path forward is clear: the building will soon operate under the U Dumpling House banner.
Residents interested in the specifics of the license transfer or the property details can review the official records through the Framingham city portal.
