Cassia, a notable Asian restaurant in Los Angeles, will close its doors on February 22 following nearly ten years of operation. Owners Bryant Ng and Kim Luu-Ng cited various challenges, including rising operational costs, decreased business from the 2023 entertainment strikes, and the devastating impact of recent wildfires in the city. Despite their efforts to adapt, these circumstances have made continued operation unfeasible. The restaurant's closure aligns with a troubling trend, as over 100 restaurants and bars in L.A. have shut down within the past year, highlighting a significant shift in the local dining landscape.
The closure of Cassia, a long-celebrated concept from the Rustic Canyon Family restaurant group, is one among a growing list in the last year.
We are not unique, but it's been a challenge for sure. While we've done our best to adapt, these circumstances have rendered us unable to continue to operate.
