Dim Sum Restaurant Coming to Santa Monica

Lotus Dim Sum Dumpling House moving into former P.F. Chang’s space

By Dolores Quintana

People were surprised when the P.F. Chang’s restaurant closed suddenly in Santa Monica and no one had any idea if a new restaurant would replace it. 

Toddrickallen.com has reported that there is an answer to this question finally. The space at 326 Wilshire Blvd Santa Monica is being renovated and there is a sandwich board sign in front of the space that says the new business will be called Lotus Dim Sum Dumpling House but no other information about what the restaurant has in store for the neighborhood. 

A search of the Internet did not yield any clues, so we will have to wait and see what’s in store for this corner in Santa Monica.
Angelini Ristorante’s second location in Pacific Palisades in the Palisades Village Shopping Center has scored a new article at the Hollywood Reporter. The industry trade paper doesn’t generally cover restaurant openings, so it’s clear that Angelini Ristoranti is something special to people in the entertainment industry.
