Goldburger's Chinatown location closed on August 3 after operating for less than a year due to a "historic downturn" in the restaurant industry in Los Angeles. Owner Allen Yelent mentioned compounded issues from fires, curfews, and slow traffic in the area. Although this location closed, Goldburger’s other outlets in Los Feliz and Highland Park are still operational, with plans for a Granada Hills branch. Meanwhile, Besties has opened a new vegan grocery outpost at the Original Farmers Market, providing plant-based options and treats. Additionally, Ditrioit will have a pop-up at Cafe Telegrama, serving various Mexican dishes.
Owner Allen Yelent announced the closure in a post on Instagram, stating, "We're sad as all hell it didn't work out for us here." The post attributed the closure to a "historic downturn" for restaurants in Los Angeles, citing cumulative effects from the 2025 fires, curfews, and slow traffic in Chinatown Central Plaza.
Goldburger's other locations in Los Feliz and Highland Park remain open, with a new location in Granada Hills still in progress.
Besties has opened an outpost at the Original Farmers Market, providing a variety of plant-based ingredients, snacks, vegan hot dogs, and soft serve.
Ditrioit is popping up at Cafe Telegrama on August 7, serving tacos, quesadillas, conchas, and more on the patio from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
