Richmond fine dining restaurant Little Karp shared the unfortunate news that it will be closing its doors soon.

Located on Alexandra Road among other much-loved restaurants like The Fish Man and Little Pisces, Little Karp’s menu celebrates the ocean’s bounty with its creative take on classic seafood dishes, highlighting Asian flavours with West Coast ingredients. The restaurant first opened its doors in 2023.

“What began as a simple idea grew into countless shared meals, celebrations, late nights, and meaningful conversations. We are deeply thankful for every guest who walked through our doors and became part of our story,” wrote the restaurant on Instagram.

Many were saddened to hear the news, sharing how much they loved and will miss the restaurant in the closure announcement.

“I’ll miss you!!! And your amazing lobster bisque,” wrote one user on Instagram.

“Nooooooo, this was one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to, everything on the menu was amazing! And service and ambiance was great too,” wrote another.

“NOOOO WHY WHY IT’S MY FAVOURITE RESTAURANT,” added a third.

However, Little Karp did give us a glimmer of hope that it may return.

“While this chapter comes to a close, it is not a goodbye — only a pause. We will welcome you again in the future,” added the restaurant.

Little Karp will be closing its doors on March 4.
