Cathy Chaplin is a senior editor at Eater LA, a James Beard Award–nominated journalist, and the author of Food Lovers’ Guide to Los Angeles. The sprawling space at 978 North Broadway inside Mandarin Plaza in Chinatown has been vacant for the past seven years ever since Andy Ricker closed the LA outpost of Pok Pok in March 2017. However, come this fall, chef Anthony Wang (formerly of Ink, Auburn, Destroyer), along with partner Bill Chait, are taking over the building for an ambitious and personal restaurant called First Born. The restaurant is an exploration of narrative and identity, Wang tells Eater. “Me being Chinese American and being the first person born in my family in America, I always had this kind of identity crisis growing up,” he says.

Las Vegas is setting new records for high temperatures this summer. But the weather isn’t all that’s heating up: Eight new restaurants in Summerlin, the southwest area, Henderson, and downtown have either just opened or are weeks away from welcoming their first customers. In addition to all being off-Strip, making for easy commutes for Las Vegas locals, this batch of new restaurants spans culinary genres, introducing new choices for modern Indian fare, handmade onigiri, tacos composed with heirloom maize, and two new ways to barbecue.

There’s a spark of new life in the former Avery space on Fillmore Street, almost a year after chef Rodney Wages closed his Michelin-starred restaurant and packed his bags for Edinburgh. (Shortly after Avery’s closure, the space temporarily operated as RTB Wine Bar under Avery sommelier Sean Widger.) Chef Jinwoong Lim has opened a takeout sushi spot called Aji Kiji just a few doors down from Korean tapas restaurant Bansang, Tablehopper reports. Taking stock of the city’s expensive omakase scene, Lim wants to offer an affordable — though still high-quality — takeout option. The fish is sliced fresh in the morning, artfully arranged in sturdy boxes, and held in a refrigerated case at Aji Kiji’s sleek, wood-paneled counter. Lim offers an assortment of nigiri, chirashi, donburi, and maki boxes that range from $13 to $54, per Tablehopper.
