Closure[edit]

It's closing.^[1] It also appears to have no website, "Squarespace - Domain Not Claimed" (http://www.pokpokpdx.com/). I'm unsure this article will continue to meet the criteria for notability. Does every restaurant that ever closed and was never well-known need an article in Wikipedia? The Michelin star is all it has going for it, unless the sites that remain open continue to make the news.
