Gourmet City:
Funny, the other afternoon I was driving back from Zion Market with the Missus and I noticed that the old....and really bad VIP Oriental Buffet was gone and something called Gourmet City has taken its place.
Funny, I pass this area almost daily; sometimes 4-5 times in a day, and I never even noticed this place. The Missus said that it looks like an all you can eat hot pot/buffet place. If I recall the space is huge. "All you cannot eat" just isn't my style....so I'll wait and see what other folks think.

They even have a website
Tajima Ramen Bar coming to Hillcrest:
As mentioned in Eater San Diego; Tajima has picked up the lease. I was in the area and took a look.
And sure enough, there it was on the ABC application - "Tajima Ramen Bar". I'm sure our good FOY, "PedMa" will have something to say about this one.
So how many different businesses in the last couple of years....Yakyudori - Raku - Tecchan, and now Tajima. I hope they stick around for a while.

Have a great week everyone!
You're so good about spotting new places. I had no idea about this Gourmet City but I have to confess I'm curious.

Hi Kirbie - I actually should have seen this sooner since I drive past almost every day. It kind of snuck under the radar.

It'll be in walking distance for Matthew and I. I just wish I liked Tajima's ramen more :D
