Manna Korean BBQ opening in San Diego?
Talk about doing a double-take. I'm driving down Convoy when I see this sign:
Wow..... I hadn't heard a thing. For those who haven't heard of Manna in LA, it's a very popular AYCE (All you can eat) Korean BBQ restaurant, or more precisely restaurants in the Los Angeles area. Not known for the best quality meats, the prices when I visited were excellent. I'm still not sure if this restaurant is affiliated with the Los Angeles restaurants(maybe someone out there knows the answer?). And what's even more funny was, when I visited Manna, I was the only Asian in the joint....... so I don't know whether to be excited or not. After all, we have enough of those type of places in San Diego.....
But hey, at least there's some business activity in the area.
Yokohama Yakitori Koubou set to open:
While walking to Izakaya Sakura a couple of days ago, I noticed that the signs were up for Koubou. this morning while I drove by, I read a note in the window stating that they'll be opening on 10/07.
Hmmm..... is that it? I feel like I'm short-changing you with such a short post. So here are some photos from a recent meal at Sushi Yaro.
There, I feel better now......
I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
So where on Convoy is Manna BBQ? I can't quite place that mustard yellow storefront.
And does the yakitori place mean that Tsuruhashi closed down? I had only been there once not long after they first opened. It was good, but pricey.

Hi Kirk, I finally saw Sam a few weeks back for lunch. I need to go back. I noticed Yakitori Koubou's sign lit and ready the other night too. Met the owner (and maybe his wife?) earlier on during the construction phase and they're really young! Best luck to them. They said thy would be only open for dinner.

Hi Sandy - It's in the same building as Office Depot, but on the side facing Convoy.
Hi Dennis - That's interesting, I hope they do well. Competition bodes well.
Hi Kat - My goodness, you're right!
