Busy Valley Village restaurant Sloane’s is expanding, taking up residence just down the street from the Hollywood Bowl this summer. Owner Bobby Montes tells Eater that the new Sloane’s will sit inside of the Best Western Hollywood Plaza Inn hotel on Highland Avenue, a popular stop for tourists traversing Hollywood and anyone walking home from a night of music at the Bowl.
To that end the restaurant will offer daily service from 7 a.m. to midnight, with plans to catch the AM crowd with breakfast burritos and coffee and to keep the latecomers with comfort food well into the night (beer and wine will help). It’s a small-ish space, with only about 25 seats inside, plus some outdoor seating nearby and at the pool in the back of the hotel. Expect an opening at 2011 N. Highland sometime in early summer, in time for shows nearby.

As Kito tries to keep up with orders and crowds, Suehiro owner Suzuki is contemplating whether to stay in the restaurant business.
While a second smaller Suehiro site in Chinatown has sustained itself with serving predominantly take-out, business at the flagship restaurant is half of what it is normally, even with dine-in available.
Suzuki still feels for Kouraku s owner Yamauchi his dearest friend in Little Tokyo who spent the last months before his death pained over plummeting sales and having to let go many of his employees. He ended up having to be the server and he was doing things that he normally didn t do before, Suzuki said.
