According to the post, the closure is happening because the owner of the establishment is retiring.
“We are grateful for the many relationships established and memories created; this House has had the honor of hosting many of our own family gatherings and celebrations as well as yours.”
The restaurant, located at 8100 Ackroyd Road, has been a go-to spot for the community looking for dishes like its signature soy sauce chicken and Hainan-style chicken.
Its last day of service will be Thursday, April 28.
