San Francisco’s Long-Running Chinese Restaurant Sam Wo Sets Closure Date | Eater SF

"The 116-year-old Chinatown restaurant will close on Sunday, January 26, 2025: owners had warned fans they were set to close in January 2025 unless they found someone to buy the business, but with the lease expiring this month and chef/owner David Jitong Ho wanting to retire at 68 after working at the restaurant for 42 years, investors' hopes that another family or chef could keep the restaurant legend going have fallen through. "Make your last pilgrimage now while you can." - Dianne de Guzman
