Genghis Cohen, a revered New York-style Chinese American restaurant, is moving from its original Fairfax location after 42 years. It will temporarily operate a block away while searching for a new permanent site. Owner Marc Rose cites unfeasible lease negotiations with the landlord as the reason for the move, following a three-year battle to reach an agreement. Known for its cultural significance, especially its role in Seinfeld, the restaurant holds a special place in the LA community for its warm service and delectable crab rangoons.
Owner Marc Rose states that after lengthy negotiations, it became clear they weren't part of the landlord's long-term plan, leading to their relocation.
The restaurant is well-known for its crispy crab rangoons and has been a beloved destination for the Jewish community during Christmas.
Despite being prepared for a rent increase, the figures presented by the landlord were ultimately unfeasible for Genghis Cohen.
Marc Rose mentions, 'It's been a very long and drawn-out process,' reflecting on their three years of negotiations with the landlord.
