Tornado Restaurant & Lounge Closes in Malden

After opening last November in Malden, the Asian tapas restaurant Tornado Restaurant and Lounge has closed, as first noted on Chowhound and confirmed by the restaurant's website, which has a message on the front page: "Thank you everyone for all your support!"

Tornado was owned by two friends who met at Malden High over a decade ago, Shanie Leung and Jenny Le, and it received a positive review in the Globe over the summer.
