The food scene at the Westfield Century City Shopping Center appears to be perking up quite a bit. Along with Dave’s Hot Chicken, Taco Bell Live Mas Cafe, and IJ Sushi Burrito, a fourth new eatery just put up plywood up on a space in the food court. Build-your-own Mongolian BBQ experts Gengis Khan is planning on opening in Summer 2027.
Beloved spicy poultry purveyor Dave’s Hot Chicken is continuing their expansion across LA. There’s plywood up on one of the spaces in the food court of the Westfield Century City Shopping Center announcing their arrival. Dave’s Hot Chicken began in an East Hollywood parking lot in 2017 and quickly became an Instagram darling serving “juicy, spicy, hot chicken” that is “mind-blowing”.
A sharp-eyed reader (Thanks Jeremy!) noticed a new banner hanging over the space that used to house a branch of Smashburger, at 10704B Venice Blvd. in Culver City. I went by to have a look. Sure enough, this address will soon be the home of a branch of Dave’s Hot Chicken. This will be the seventh location for the poultry purveyor, but they apparently have plans on a larger expansion, including branches in Northridge and Fountain Valley.
