Dear Customers,
We apologize for the late notice that our restaurant closed last month. We have been operating in the same location for the past 20 years and have been loved by many customers, but the state building relocated and the building was sold to another private company last month, so the entire Atrium Mall where we operated was inevitably closed. Therefore, we are sorry that we will not be able to continue to serve the many customers who have used us a lot. And I thought about relocating to another location, but I decided to stop because of the various problems that would arise, including financial problems.
We would like to express our gratitude to the many customers who have loved our restaurant during this time. And in particular, I am even more grateful to the many regulars who have loved me personally. May you be happier and healthier under the grace of God.
Sending warm love.
