Charles Olalia’s Filipino Bowl Restaurant Rice Bar to Close on Friday - Eater LA
"Rice Bar, a small Filipino bowl spot, is set to close on May 31, ending a four-year run. Known for its incredibly small size, the restaurant was a breakout hit in Downtown Los Angeles, spearheaded by chef/owner Charles Olalia. Despite its size, the restaurant gained popularity quickly, contributing to the renaissance of Filipino cooking in the U.S. Olalia now focuses on his other venture, Ma’am Sir, in Silver Lake." - Farley Elliott
