Owner Pom Moongauklang announced on Instagram that the restaurant will permanently close Oct. 4.
“No roller coaster in the world has as much ups, downs, excitement and pivots as having a small business,” she wrote. “I will no longer continue my beloved Pom Pom’s concept. I need to focus on the many opportunities that I am so grateful for.”
