"I'm excited to be in the South Bay and in an area less scene-y than Los Angeles. The restaurant's name is a nod to the city in which it resides and not the Hawaiian salmon dish by the same name."
"LA is so hard to operate in unless you have some control over labor, the space itself, or have an infrastructure that's Mike Glick big. I think you need to own land to really do well in the restaurant space."
"Preen Inc.'s Alexis Readinger will lead the restaurant's design, drawing inspiration from 'the haze of India.' Early design treatments depict minimalist warm wood furnishings and an L-shaped terrazzo bar bathed in a golden glow."
Avish Naran will open Schezwan Club and Lomi Lomi in 2026, following the success of Pijja Palace. Lomi Lomi, located in Lomita, California, will feature hand-rolled sushi and accommodate 60 diners. Naran emphasizes the importance of owning property for restaurant success. The design of Lomi Lomi will reflect Indian influences with warm wood furnishings and a golden glow. Naran's background in real estate and inspiration from Ray Kroc influence his approach to the restaurant business.
