DOWNTOWN— It's been almost two years since an update on Leka, that supposed tapas concept under development at 6th and Flower. Brigham Yen checks in with owner Michael Kwan, also the guy behind the Wockano chain, and brings word that the eatery is about 95% complete and should launch next month. Since early construction, the restaurant concept has morphed to an American fusion menu, offering a little bit of everything from the dining landscape that defines Los Angeles. Asian, Latin, etc. [Brigham Yen]
