Midweek Meanderings: Gourmet City opens and Tajima Ramen Bar coming to Hillcrest

Gourmet City:

Funny, the other afternoon I was driving back from Zion Market with the Missus and I noticed that the old….and really bad VIP Oriental Buffet was gone and something called Gourmet City has taken its place.

Funny, I pass this area almost daily; sometimes 4-5 times in a day, and I never even noticed this place. The Missus said that it looks like an all you can eat hot pot/buffet place. If I recall the space is huge. "All you cannot eat" just isn't my style….so I'll wait and see what other folks think.

They even have a website

Tajima Ramen Bar coming to Hillcrest:

As mentioned in Eater San Diego; Tajima has picked up the lease. I was in the area and took a look.

So how many different businesses in the last couple of years….Yakyudori – Raku – Tecchan, and now Tajima. I hope they stick around for a while.

  1. Hi Kirbie – I actually should have seen this sooner since I drive past almost every day. It kind of snuck under the radar.
