Some new places opening soon……
Yakitori Ramen Kanpai Izakaya:
You remember Pho Tu Do? I'm not why the folks there decided on changing over to a rather generic sushi joint. But they had a decent run of 8 years or so. I'm not sure if the rather unsavory named Twisted Sushi opening across the street had anything to do with things, but now the place is becoming Yakitori Ramen Kanpai Izakaya. I'm also not sure if this place is associated with Kanpai in Chula Vista, but I'm sure Eater or someone will have the scoops.
What struck me as interesting was the sign to check out Fish Attack? There's a story here somewhere…..

Havana Grill Coming Soon:
At least that's what the sign leads you to believe.
Seems like a bit more work yet to be done.
This was the location of the ill fated Casa Medina. Which I think has relocated inside the Indian Market.

Other than Dumpling Hut opening…..
Which is what they named the place I mentioned in this post. You can read a bit more about it here.
I'll get a post done after a few more visits.

That's about it for now.
Hope you're having a great week!
Thanks for the heads up on Dumpling Hut. Do you think their XLB and dumplings are made in house?
The jiaozi were definitely hand made Faye. Haven’t had the XLB yet, because I believe the owners are from Northern China….not XLB land.
Kanpai Izakaya eh? Will be interesting as Yamadaya and Taisho are so close to that location.
Kirk – I’m eager to know what you think of the XLB. I stopped by yesterday to try the XLB along with the Egg/Chive item. Although rather light on seasonings, I did enjoy the texture of the latter. The XLB — Not horrible, but the skin was too thick for me without the needed elasticity causing some of them to break easily. They took FOREVER (25+ minutes; I was the only table) so I would hope they are made in-house.
Small typo:
You can read a but more about it here.
I think you meant “butt”? 🙂
It will Junichi……..
Hi LL – I might have seen you then! I did have the xlb and will post on that. I did wait 40 minutes for some jiaozi. I think these folks really have no clue on how to run a restaurant.
Thanks for the catch R….I usually do these in just one pass…
