Just a couple of things I saw during my shopping trips.
K Bakery Replacing Sage French Cake:
Saw this during one of my shopping excursions to Nijiya last week.
So, I did some digging and it seems that Sage’s owner has decided to retire. Man, it seemed like Sage had been there forever! Though I believe it was a one man operation and he worked really hard. Hope he has a great retirement!

Kanna Thai Kitchen Replacing Di Chan:
Remember that I noticed that Di Chan had closed last month? Well, driving past the strip mall I noticed a sign posted.
I decided to take a look and it seems that Kanna Thai Kitchen will be taking over that spot.

While checking that location out, I noticed all signage for Ma’s House was gone, so I walked over.
Ma’s House has closed:
The windows were covered, but one corner was open and all the furnishings are gone.

And the sign for Tang Huo Kung Fu Spicy Hot Pot is up:
I guess we haven’t hit critical mass for Hot Pot in the Convoy area yet?
I believe that Tang Hou is a chain. I know they have locations in LA.
It just seems that only chains can afford to operate on Convoy these days!

Convoy has become so popular and such a hot spot that it’s not surprising that the family that owns the vast majority of real estate there is fine with jacking up rent and prices to this level. I mean it’s nice to see there are some that aren’t chains that remain there and remain strong, but yeah if they don’t stop trying to strangle the golden goose they won’t get many good new restaurants there at all.
Yes, I agree Loren!
Oh man, loved Sage but it was getting $$$. With costs going nuts I’m not surprised the guy retired.
They did have a great run Franklin!

also another revolving sushi place
Yes, I just saw that Taste of Hong Kong has closed Charles! Not so thrilled with yet another chain coming tho’. Thanks so much for the heads up and taking the time to comment! I hope all is well!
Wow. Sage-san’s been there forever. Glad he’s getting a well deserved retirement. I’ve never took to Ma’s House. Completely forgot about that place.
Didn’t care for Ma’s House either Junichi! Yes, kind of sad to see Sage go and hope for the best as he retires!
Still a Ma’s house in Poway. I’m a big fan of their sesame green onion bread but unfortunately not too much else. Thanks for the updates.
We’ve even been to the location in Anaheim and was not impressed RD!
