An Iconic Sunset Strip Chinese Restaurant Is Closing ‘Unexpectedly' After More 40 Years
Another longtime Los Angeles restaurant is set to close. Chin Chin, a decades-old Chinese restaurant along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip, will shutter on July 27, 2025 after more than 40 years. Chin Chin's other locations in Brentwood, Studio City, and Las Vegas will remain open. Eater LA has reached out for more information. Chin Chin announced the closure in an Instagram post on May 31 that read, 'After 45 unforgettable years (sic) in West Hollywood, we are heartbroken to announce that Chin Chin will be unexpectedly closing its doors at our Sunset Plaza location and will begin the search for a new home.' The restaurant hopes to reopen in a new location and has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help with the relocation process and support its employees in the meantime. Chin Chin first opened its doors in West Hollywood in 1983, serving dim sum, alongside its signature Chinese chicken salad dotted with wonton strips, pot stickers, and more. Over the decades, it became a favorite for locals and celebrities alike, with actor Sean Hayes even publicly expressing his adoration for the restaurant. Other celebrities, including Lindsay Lohan, Megan Fox, and Britney Spears, have been spotted at Chin Chin. Chin Chin is just the most recent in a series of closures that have hit the Sunset Strip. Earlier this year, West Hollywood restaurants the Den, Hudson House, Le Petit Four, and Rock & Reilly's all suddenly shuttered. Tesse also closed in late 2024 after six years of operation. And while the closures change the landscape of the neighborhood, new exciting openings are also headed to the area, like the arrival of Japanese food hall Round 1 Delicious, which will bring eight high-end restaurants from Japan under one roof, and the reopening of Aitor Zabala's acclaimed Somni off Santa Monica Boulevard.

Lindsay Lohan Says 'Freaky Friday' Sequel Is a ‘Love Letter' to Iconic Movie House that Burned Down
The Freaky Friday sequel, Freakier Friday, starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, hits theaters on Aug. 8 During an interview with Elle, Lohan said the film is "such an homage" to California and pays tribute to her character's home from the 2003 film The real home was destroyed in the deadly wildfires that swept through Los Angeles earlier this yearFreakier Friday is sentimental for Lindsay Lohan in more ways than one. Ahead of the highly-anticipated Freaky Friday sequel hitting theaters on Aug. 8, Lohan, 38, opened up to Chloe Fineman for a May 27 interview with Elle about filming the upcoming movie in Los Angeles. The actress — who stars in the remake of the 2003 classic alongside Jamie Lee Curtis — told Fineman that the sequel feels like a tribute to the areas impacted by the tragic wildfires that swept through L.A. in January. The property that was used as her character Anna Coleman's home in the original movie sadly burned down during the natural disaster. 'The film is such an homage to California after the fires, because we shot a lot in the Palisades and in Malibu,' Lohan said. 'Even the house — the original Freaky Friday house — unfortunately, is gone. So I think it'll be a really nice love letter.' The Palisades Fire was the first wildfire to erupt on Jan. 7, and it wasn't fully contained until Jan. 31 along with the Eaton Fire. The deadly blaze burned approximately 23,448 acres, according to CAL FIRE, and the cause is still under investigation. In response to Fineman asking if it felt 'special' to be back filming in L.A., Lohan responded: 'Yeah. For the crew, they're so excited to be working here, where they go back home to their families. That's the difference you feel here. It's nice.' Referring to her son Luai, whom she welcomed in 2023 with husband Bader Shammas, she added, 'I made it home every night, except for one, to tuck my son in. And it shows in the film — when you're happy behind the scenes, that comes through.'
