"Northern Cafe has taken over the old space of The Big Catch seafood restaurant in Brentwood. This new Brentwood location marks the third outlet for the San Gabriel Valley-based Chinese restaurant. Their first foray to the greater LA Westside came in Westwood, with UCLA’s large Chinese-American student population acting as an early backbone for the company while it found its footing in a new community. Beverly Boulevard followed not long after, and was aimed at the growing Beverly Center clientele and nearby office and hospital workers. And now it’s open in Brentwood, offering a narrow, long slot right on Wilshire Boulevard’s busy corridor." - Farley Elliott
