Saturday Stuffs: Goodbye Lucky Star....hello Jasmine 2? Taegukgi Korean BBQ, because we just need another AYCE joint, right? And other stuff....

Goodbye Lucky Star....hello Jasmine 2????

I hadn't really kept up on Lucky Star since an absolutely horrible visit back in 2005. And though things do take time, I'm really not sad to see the place go. I was recently in the area and noticed that all the signage is gone.

I won't go into the reason why Lucky Star was first shut down, then totally closed. But what I will mention is that I've heard from two different sources that the folks from Jasmine have picked up the lease on the place we called the "Big Red Barn".

Interesting, huh?

The address is:

3893 54th St
San Diego, CA 92105

Just because we need yet another AYCE Korean BBQ on Convoy:

I noticed this a couple of weeks back, but didn't have enough to put together a post. It looks like a pretty humongous AYCE joint is being constructed next to the new site of Zion Market.

Just because we needed another one of these, right?

7655 Clairemont Mesa Blvd
San Diego, CA 92111

Didn't you used to be NYPD Pizza?

Now it's something called Oliva Ristorante......

Next to Mr Peabody's on Friar's Road. When I asked someone who works in this little strip mall about the place, they told me, new owners, but same menu. The sign says "Italian & Green Cuisine"....  Green cuisine? Hmmm......

Oliva Ristorante
6110 Friars Rd
San Diego, CA 92108

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.....nice weather like this means it's time to start making stuff like this.

HI Kirk, I noticed Oliva last I was at Mr. Peabody's. I thought it said Italian and Greek, but you're right it says Green. Huh..

Not quite ssure on that one Dennis.Maybe it's a typo on the sign?

Hi Kat - We can finally start grilling again.

Very interesting if there is a Jasmine 2! I'm kind of amazed that Lucky Star was around that long. Do your sources know when Zion will be opening? I was at H Mart yesterday, and it wasn't as crazy crowded as it was when they first opened.

Hi Sandy - As a whole, I haven't been too impressed with H Mart. I've heard differing info on Zion, one source said April, while others have said summer. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
