Some sad and surprising news to share. We’ve reached the end of our lease and after much consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision not to renew it.

Our final day of business will be Sunday September 29.

Well most miss serving this community we’ve been a part of this past decade. We’re grateful to everyone who’s worked here and everyone who has come through these doors over the years - from the early Starry Kitchen days to our current Poltergeist era.

We look forward to seeing you all over the next three weeks as we celebrate the experiences we’ve shared in a place that somehow stuck around this long despite never making sense on paper.

Diego Argoti blurs all kinds of borders — with his manic, wild cooking at Poltergeist inside Button Mash arcade in Echo Park. Don't be scared.
