A couple of things I've seen during my shopping trips to the Kearny Mesa Area.
Eat Crispy Burger Coming to Convoy:
While passing the building housing Starbucks and Yakyudori, I noticed some window signage in one of the units.
So, I took a quick turn into the parking lot.
So, it seems that a location of Encinitas Eat Crispy Burger is coming to this location. I guess they want to give The Friendly some smashburger competition in the area?

Bann Korean Cuisine Closes:
Recently, the Missus needed some cosmetics from the shop in H Mart. I really don't get over there too often, basically because of the parking situation, but we headed on over and scorede a parking spot. While the Missus was paying for Her "stuffs", I walked on over to the food court and noticed that Bann Korean Cuisine had closed.
Bummer. Though I really didn't visit the place as much when they moved to the H Mart food court, I used to visit quite often when they were located on Miramar Road. Perhaps moving to this location was not a great move? It's seems that turnover here might be pretty high as Katzya closed up shop here recently as well.

And finally, News on China Max:
In one of my posts last month, I mentioned dropping by the location of China Max's reconstruction. In the comments "FOY" Julie asked if I knew what was going on. Well, this past week Eater San Diego had an answer.
In case you hadn't read or heard; the original owners of China Max had decided to sell the restaurant. The new owners also own Taste of Hong Kong. Per the reporting from Helen I Hwang in the Eater post:
"Its food focus is still developing, but options include Szechuan cuisine, a noodle house, or dim sum and a Cantonese menu similar to China Max."
Not sure how I feel about that.
Can you believe that it's been almost four years since the fire at the restaurant?

well, if they make a decent Peking duck, the whole town will beat a path to their door.
Here’s hoping Kenneth!
I’m thrilled to see Eat Crispy Burger growing. The family is great at the original site, and I’ve always had good burgers there.
Glad to see the China Max location is coming back even under new management/cuisine.
Swear China Max burning was a warning from the universe that 2020 was going to suck…..
That was definitely not a good omen Loren!
That’s great to know Dereck!
The Yakyudori parking’s gonna get a lot worse once the burger joint opens. I miss the vast parking lot in front of what once was Dixieline.
Yes, it’s going to be “one of those” parking lots on Convoy Junichi!
