NADC Burger, the wagyu-focused smash-burger concept from pro skateboarder Neen Williams and chef Phillip Frankland-Lee, is lining up a Los Angeles outpost in Westwood. The team is targeting 1091 Broxton Ave, the storefront that most recently housed Prince of Venice, and is already advertising jobs for what it calls a Los Angeles flagship. There is still no firm opening date, and the project appears to be in an early permitting and hiring phase.
According to a recent report from What Now Los Angeles, a new liquor-license filing lists 1091 Broxton Ave as the planned address. The outlet notes that the space was formerly home to Prince of Venice and that an exact opening timeline has yet to be nailed down.
The Menu And The Team
NADC keeps things intentionally tight: a single double-patty wagyu cheeseburger with American cheese, a house "secret" sauce, onions, pickles, and slightly dialed-back jalapeños, along with twice-fried fries that can be ordered plain or in a loaded "beast mode." Per the brand’s site, that streamlined setup is very much the point as the concept expands. The brand was created by pro skater Neen Williams with chef Phillip Frankland-Lee of Scratch Restaurants, the group behind Sushi by Scratch and Pasta|Bar.
The Space And Permitting
The 1091 Broxton storefront appears in commercial marketing materials as a long-running Westwood retail and restaurant parcel, and the unit has historically been used for full-service dining. Prince of Venice lists 1091 Broxton Ave as its address, confirming that it was the prior tenant in the space. A leasing listing for the property also cites a CUB, or conditional use for on-site alcohol, along with a permitted front patio, details that could shape how the new operator approaches service.
Why Westwood?
Westwood Village sits in the middle of a dense UCLA-adjacent retail corridor that pulls steady traffic from students and hospital workers, plus visitors bound for nearby museums and theaters. Property listings for the Broxton block play up the neighborhood’s walkable retail mix and reliable daytime population, a context that helps explain why a late-night, grab-and-go wagyu burger concept might choose to land there.
Hiring And Timeline
Online job listings show NADC recruiting for Team Member and General Manager roles tied to a Los Angeles address at 1091 Broxton Ave, described in the postings as the brand’s Los Angeles flagship. Those hiring notices, which appear on job boards and the brand’s careers portal, point to an active buildout even as city permitting and licensing continue in the background.
For now, locals can look for a skate-culture-inflected wagyu burger counter to hit Westwood once permits clear and construction wraps. Filings and company announcements should offer more clarity on opening day, service hours and a formal launch schedule, and we will update when the team makes those details public.
