"San Gabriel— Tianjin Bistro, the only SGV restaurant dedicated to food from the city of Tianjin, has closed. The restaurant opened almost eleven years ago in August 2008. While one-time sister restaurant Beijing Restaurant serves some Tianjin items, and there are three Tianjin breakfast spots, it’s always sad to lose a specific cuisine. The replacement is Tao’s Kitchen, which focuses on whole or half chickens with different “flavors”, a la hot pot or pan roasted fish restaurants." - Jim Thurman
