Bok Bok Mediterranean

"The newest entrant to the area is to be called BOK DTLA, an apparent nod to the site’s previous use as a poultry processing facility. The whole property spans some 20,000 square feet, and will be divided into multiple different spaces. One is an airy 11-stall food hall, leased with an eye towards local tenants only (think former pop-up spots and other small vendors), all of which sits next to an open commissary kitchen with public bar-style seating and its own patio. The latter room will be used not only for prep, says a real estate rep, but also for guest chef dinners and other pop-up nights. There will also be room to drink wine and a retail area, thanks to a single ABC license and conditional use permit that allow for one booze license for the entire property. BOK DTLA also offers room for a standalone restaurant space, again with its own patio, and an upstairs bar and lounge area that looks out over the Los Angeles State Historic Park. Leasing is underway for all of the different facilities, though no names have yet been publicly confirmed." - Farley Elliott

"Bok Bok Chicken, a small Mediterranean chain based out of Las Vegas, has opened a new location in Downtown Los Angeles at the corner of 2nd Street and Main. The restaurant offers chicken pita wraps, panini, and whole rotisserie birds, as well as non-poultry options like beef shawarma, falafel, and salads. This new location replaces the Mighty, a fast casual restaurant that closed in November last year. Bok Bok Chicken is known in Las Vegas for its Mediterranean fare and has four locations there as of this spring. The Los Angeles location operates daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m." - Farley Elliott
