Midweek Meanderings: Jin's Pot opens and Happy Family returns

Jin's Pot opens in Plaza del Sol:

Aka in back of China Max and a few doors down from Spicy City.

I read this in Eater San Diego and was passing by during lunch so I took a quick swing past the shop.

My sources and the menu does indicate Yunnan....even though Jin's Karaoke is right next door...I'm thinking that must be a coincidence?

The prices seem kind of steep, though they have lunch specials.

They also have a 10% off grand opening special.....might not be for long, the "sign" is in marker.....

They weren't open yet on this day, so I'll just drop by later. A funny thought crossed my mind, if this was anywhere else but Convoy, a shop with the name Jin's Pot would have a total different connotation.

Happy Family reopens in UMart:

Well, I've been kind of keeping tabs one what's going on in the gigantic space inside UMart. There are a couple of non-food shops in the old Zion Market food court area. Happy Family, whom Cathy posted on has made a return, joining Big Joy Bakery.

Things have been moving kind of slowly here, I hope business and businesses pick-up.

We were at UMart today and Happy Family was so busy there were no empty tables (or seats) around 12:30. Will try to stop back before our next shopping trip. UMart is also making more grab and go (hot and cold) foods.

That's great to hear Cathy.

I liked them back when they were Happy Meal. They had the best spicy pork. When they became Happy Family (probably with an ownership change), they went downhill. Hopefully they've gotten better

Let me know how it is if you get a chance to check them out before me Denver!
