Wah’s Golden Hen is closing its longstanding Virgil Village doors for good on December 31, Eater LA Tuesday was first to report. The Chinese-American restaurant has been in operation for almost 50 years, at 709 N Virgil Ave. Owner Lena Louie quietly announced the news earlier this month with an update to the Yelp page for Wah’s Golden Hen.
“We thank you for your support over the decades,” Louie wrote on the reviews and ratings site. “It has been a blessing to be able to establish our roots here in America, and in this community, for so long. Though it is bittersweet to say farewell to this labor of love, we look forward to our next chapter: enjoying a quiet retirement. We will spend our time gardening and cooking at home with our family.”
Wah’s Golden Hen first opened in 1972 and has been in operation under the same family during its entire tenure. Louie came to America 30 years ago “with many hopes and dreams,” the restaurateur wrote. “We soon joined the family business where we would raise our children and see many of our dreams fulfilled and more. We enjoyed sharing our food with the community, and with the many customers who have become friends and family along the way. It was a joy to see the families around us grow, as ours has.”
Wah’s Golden Hen has secured a nearly perfect five-star rating on Yelp across some 500 reviews. The most recent review is from Silver Lake resident Elliott H. “Great service, great food, great price,” Elliot wrote. “Cash only. Experience one of my favorite LA food spots before it closes permanently on Dec 31st.”
