Ma’am Sir has closed its Silver Lake doors for good after having only opened in 2018, at 4330 Sunset Blvd. The Filipino eatery from Charles Olalia said goodbye via Instagram on Friday, joining a growing list of shuttered LA restaurants in recent months.
“Thank you to all,” Olalia wrote in the social media announcement. “It was a pleasure to have welcomed you once upon a time. There will come a time when I can welcome you again. There will come a time when I can celebrate your birthdays with you. There will come a time I will meet your babies again. As generic as it sounds, I may have closed this chapter, but I gained family in you all.”
Olalia, in the restaurateur’s heartfelt message, did not provide a reason for pulling the plug on the short-lived Ma’am Sir which replaced Bar Angeles. It could be due to the ongoing pandemic which continues to claim many of the city’s restaurants. Ma’am sir earlier this year did try to pivot its service by offering “bento boxes” to go in the way of Filipino baon.
The restaurant opened to great acclaim having been noted by GQ as one of America’s best new restaurants at the time and was twice listed in the 101 Best Restaurants list by the Los Angeles Times.
