There’s new signage up at 4834 Rosecrans Avenue in Hawthorne announcing the arrival of LA CHA X The Bowl. La Cha has a location in Torrance and specializes as a “vibrant bubble tea destination where premium tea craftsmanship meets creative flavor innovation”. In addition to teas, this location will also offer a menu with such things as Korean sweet and spicy popcorn chicken andmozzarella chz sticks. It looks like they’re almost ready to open.

Chin Chin Bids Bye Bye To El Segundo

This is a bit of a surprise…  It was back in 2019 when I told you about the new branch of “modern Chinese” chain Chin Chin that opened in the old P.F. Chang space at 2041 Rosecrans in El Segundo.  Sadly, they it appears they have already given up the ghost at this location.  I’ll keep watching the tricky address to see who’s brave enough to attempt it.

(Thanks A.!)

Bruxie Bringing Chicken & Waffles To El Segundo

Congratulations El Segundo!  Exceptional chicken and waffles are heading your way…  We know this because there’s a banner hanging over the space in the Apollo Landing development at 2171 Rosecrans Ave, previously home to Pier 76 Fish Grill, announcing a new branch of Bruxie.  With a smattering of locations around LA and Orange County (and one in Georgia), Bruxie is known for breakfasts and sandwiches served between their signature waffles.  But they also offer salads, frozen custard, and sweet waffle sandwiches.
