"Following the February 2025 closure of Cassia, chef Bryant Ng and Kim Luu-Ng opened a fast-casual Chinese American spot in Santa Monica that draws on Bryant’s family history and on Hong Kong-style cafes and Cantonese barbecue restaurants that opened across Southern California in the 1980s and 1990s. Meals are built as combination plates with two base items like chow mein or rice, two vegetables, and a main such as beef and broccoli or orange mango chicken." - Rebecca Roland
