The Biggest Los Angeles Restaurant Openings in August 2025 | Eater LA

"Quietly debuting on August 1 at the Shops at Santa Anita, this first U.S. outpost of China’s Xibei specializes in the grain-rich flavors of Northwestern China. The 11,356-square-foot former Meizhou Dongpo space features high ceilings, multiple private dining rooms, and a sleek, modern hall, with a refined bar area slated to follow. Founded in Inner Mongolia in 1988 and now nearly 400 locations strong across China, the group introduces a lesser-known regional cuisine shaped by the nomadic heritage and Muslim influences of Uyghur, Hui, Mongol, and Kazakh communities across Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia, emphasizing lamb, ancient grains like oats and millet, on-site noodles, and hearty dumplings." - Mona Holmes
