"Shirley Chung announced the closure of her Culver City restaurant, which will continue operating through Sunday, August 4, after she revealed on July 26 that she had been diagnosed with stage four tongue cancer two months earlier; she initially thought the symptoms were from heavy teeth grinding and has been undergoing chemotherapy since early June while weighing treatment options that included chemotherapy with radiation or surgical removal of the tongue. Chung opened the all-day Chinese space in Downtown Culver City in 2018, and the restaurant's dumplings were also popular on the national food-shipping platform Goldbelly." - Mona Holmes
