Pecking House, known for its unique fusion of Sichuan and Southern cuisine, is set to close temporarily due to construction mandated by its landlord relating to fire code compliance. Chef Eric Huang, who initially launched the restaurant as a pandemic pop-up, has expressed uncertainty regarding the duration of the closure and the possibility of future reopening. The restaurant gained popularity for its signature dishes like the chile-chicken sandwich and dirty fried rice, establishing a devoted following despite ongoing challenges post-pandemic.
Rumors started bubbling up this week that the restaurant would close because of a rent dispute, but it sounds like something more complicated is afoot.
I am unsure for how long this closure will be for, and I am unsure if we will reopen after closure, says Eric Huang.
