LA Restaurants Are at a Financial Breaking Point Due to the Wildfires | Eater LA
"Co-owner Mina Park reports a larger impact at this location and highlights community donations: "I would say we have seen the most impact at [this location]. ... If people are able to support restaurants in that way, that’s always really appreciated and everybody wins." Kwang Uh adds broader market context: "It seems almost like the pandemic era; there are very few people over there. Revenue-wise, I can say [we’re down] almost 60 to 70 percent. But, there are a lot of people who actually lost their homes. I believe if there is somebody that needs to be supported, it should be those people." The scene: steep declines (roughly 60–70% in the market area), concentrated relief work, and emphasis on prioritizing those who lost homes while also acknowledging the need for revenue to sustain staff." - Eater Staff
