After a Yearlong Run, Fairfax’s Japanese American Rice Bowl Restaurant Closes This Week | Eater LA

"I read that Dinah’s Family Restaurant says it will remain open amid a forthcoming construction and preservation project planned at its site. Although LA Conservancy reports the proposal calls for the fried-chicken purveyor to vacate the building during construction, owner Mario Ernst says the restaurant will be able to operate alongside construction as long as customer parking is provided—whether at a nearby lot or with a valet service. “I’m gonna stay open as long as I humanly can, as long as it’s safe, as long as we can provide the same good product,” he says, and the restaurant plans to use food delivery services if construction makes it impossible for diners to enter the building." - Cathy Chaplin
