Anita Lo, the chef-owner (interview) of Bar Q in the West Village has “definitely, 100% for sure closed” her 10-month-old restaurant, according to a source close to the chef. There are also signs on the front door saying as much, reports Eater, which has managed to aggregate an angry, anti-Bar Q neighborhood mob of sorts in the comments section of a post about the closure.

BarFry: Sumile's Josh DeChellis is bringing New York our first ever tempura bar. Not only will he be perfectly battering and frying fresh veggies, seafood, and meat and serving them up with his signature dipping sauces (wasabi remoulade and pickled jalapeno soy, to name a few), but he'll be offering made-to-order tempura Po Boys.
