A new concept called Chinida Restaurant recently applied for a liquor license at 12004 Wilshire where California Wok of Wilshire currently stands. Owner Dale Lue confirmed that the new restaurant is coming but did not offer further details at this time.
Lue appears to have been associated with a number of different F&B concepts throughout his career, including Chin’s Garden, which was also located at 12004 Wilshire years ago, before being sold to the owners of California Wok in 2014, according to public records.
California Wok is known for its modern interpretation of classic Chinese dishes. It is unclear whether they will permanently close or reopen in a new location.
