Folks were quite upset when Starry Kitchen shut the door to their Downtown L.A. cafe. But as promised, the restaurant, which became famous for their ever-changing lunch menu, incessant balls jokes, and weed dinners is now popping back up at Tiara Cafe.
And they're celebrating with free beer. Singha is on the house tonight. Not a bad way to celebrate Thirsty Thursday, eh?
The menu at their pop-up at Tiara will feature Asian family style dishes like Singaporean chili crab and ribeye satay noodles. (In their goodbye email from their last location, they also promised cripsy tofu balls, pictured above. Here's hoping they come through on that one.)
Check their site for more updates and details. They'll be serving Tuesday-Saturday from 5 p.m.-10 p.m.
