LA Filipino Restaurant Noypitz Opened a Third Location in Little Tokyo | Eater LA

"Opened August 2 in the Little Tokyo Galleria on Alameda and Third, this Downtown outpost of The Noypitz Bar & Grill took over the recently shuttered Atlas; the interior appears similar to the former lounge, but a traditional Filipino menu is now in place with standards like pork sisig, crispy lumpia rolls, chicken adobo, pancit canton noodles, and sinigang na baboy—stewed pork ribs boiled in a tamarind broth with vegetables—priced around $10 to $20. It’s the restaurant’s third Southern California location (owners Larry Calonzo and Michael Kwan opened Noypitz West Covina in April 2018, and Calonzo opened the Cerritos location in November 2018). The new Downtown space is massive at 5,000 square feet and seats 208; they’ll bring the same formula as their other locations with live entertainment, DJs, and karaoke during later hours, and they’ll make use of the glowy full bar while adding Filipino beers to the menu. Hours are Sunday–Thursday 11 a.m.–11 p.m. and Friday–Saturday 11 a.m.–2 a.m." - Mona Holmes
