Grupo Hunan is on the move in Southern California, preparing to introduce another new concept in America. SanDiegoVille first reports the restaurant group will replace now closed Larsen’s Steakhouse at Westfield UTC Mall in La Jolla.
The Mexico City based hospitality group has recently entered the US market, kicking off with a homestyle taqueria called Alma Cocina de Mexico opening this month at The Grove in Los Angeles. According to the LA Times, Alma is just the start of Grupo Hunan’s plans to open restaurants in Southern California.
