I know I was the bearer of bad news last week, so I thought I'd even things out this week. Starting with:
Thai Papaya Pok Pok:
Which is what the old Original Sab e Lee location will become.
2405 Ulric St
San Diego, CA 92111
Kula Revolving Sushi Bar:
I thought I'd do this since Cathy gave us a preview based on her visit to the Rancho Cucamonga location of this Kaiten-zushi chain.
4609 Convoy St
San Diego, CA 92111
Mike's BBQ replacing LW's:
I posted on the vacated LW's BBQ spot back in November. It looks like Mike's BBQ, with a location in Escondido will be setting down here.
3057 Clairemont Dr
San Diego, CA 92117
And in the same strip mall.....
Owner of now defunct Skybox Sportsbar opening Coastal Crave:
Man, this location has been vacant for years. For a while it was World Sushi...then something else that came and went before I had a chance to check them out.
From what I hear, this isn't going to be a sportsbar concept, but more craft cocktails and according to Clairemont Community News a menu featuring "interesting" items like alligator and wild boar.
3065 Clairemont Dr
San Diego, CA 92117
Café Hielo:
This one in the same strip mall as Pho Fusion, Qi Wei Kitchen, et al.
The sign says "Korean Dessert Café"....
8072 Clairemont Mesa Blvd
San Diego, CA 92111
Oh gosh thanks for the heads up on the revolving sushi. I'm still a sucker for those sushi joints. Are there any remaining revolving sushi places here in San Diego?

The last one I can recall was in Leucadia..... though I could be wrong. I hope you enjoy Kula Faye!

Very cool. Drove by the same strip mall as Kula and noticed that the new Dumpling Inn location has opened. Turned out that it was the first day it opened. Looked quite spacious and nicely renovated from the outside.

Hi R - I knew they were reopening soon, so thanks for the update.

I shudder to think of the parking situation at Kula and the new Dumpling Inn. @Faye - the Leucadia revolving sushi place is now gone.
Looking forward to trying the new Pok Pok and the relocated Sab e Lee....

It will be a horror CC! But no worse than the strip mall with Yu's/Crab Hut/Red Moon/O'Brien's
