It's time again for the popular dineL.A. Restaurant Week, and this time around San Gabriel is making its mark.
Relatively new Chinese gastropub Chang'an Specialty Chinese Seafood & Grill will participate in the event July 18-31 with a special pre-set menu during lunch and dinner.
Their meal options will make your mouth water, from short rib skewers to deep fried tofu and more. The restaurant is one of 300 Los Angeles area restaurants participating in the biannual Restaurant Week event, hosted by the Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board. Chang'an is the only location in San Gabriel.
Restaurant Week is a great opportunity to enjoy a special menu from Chang'an, which has gained notoriety since it opened just about one year ago. And it's also a great excuse to get out and support one of the many other amazing restaurants in San Gabriel.
