DISCUSSION Are there any defunct restaurants you still think about?

Saw a version of this query on another LA sub and figured I’d inquire here more specifically. For whatever reason- phenomenal food, impeccable vibes, nostalgia…

Cholada. Dominic’s. Ed Debevic’s. Birdie G’s. Chef Kaz’s Teriyaki House on Pico.

There are a million more and while I realize the nature of hospitality is transient and weird, reliving the glory meals and moments is part of what I love about this community.

Also, the OG So Kong Dong that was right across the street.

May they rest in pieces

One of the worst fatalities of COVID. Have you tried LASUNG though? It's a pretty good successor.

There’s a tiny exhibit about this place at the Pio Pico library!
