Chin Chin, an iconic Chinese American restaurant that popularized dim sum in Los Angeles since 1983, will close its West Hollywood location at Sunset Plaza on July 27. This closure is part of a broader trend of restaurant closures in West Hollywood and comes after the landlord decided not to renew the lease. Although Chin Chin's other locations will remain operational, this closure marks the end of an era for the restaurant, which was a favorite among celebrities.
At the last minute I think the landlord had a change in vision for the place, and as much as we wanted to be part of that, Chin Chin just wasn't part of their vision.
The West Hollywood originator helped proliferate Chinese American cuisine in Los Angeles since it debuted in 1983, when founder Bob Mandler introduced many Angelenos to dim sum and Cantonese specialties.
