Midweek Meanderings - Guest Kabob Replacing Hunan Kitchen, Isshido Coming to Mira Mesa, and Menya Ultra's Second Location

So, I decided to take a the REALLY long route to this office this past weekend......well, let's call it what is was....procrastination. I ended driving up Convoy to check on Hunan Kitchen a.k.a. Noodle Hut a.k.a. Tǔjiā Xiāng Cài  and here's what I found:

Hunan Kitchen being replaced by "Guest Kabob":

At least that's what the sign says.

 

I saw the construction on the place a few weeks earlier.....I had hoped that Hunan kitchen would stay....but looks like we're going to have the sixth restaurant in this spot in the last 7 years.

Isshido replacing Submarina in Mira Mesa:

I drove up to Mira Mesa....just, well, because. A bit hungry, I turned into the parking lot near Habit Grill and saw this in the now defunct Submarina spot.

I stopped and took a look. I'm not sure what type of restaurant Isshido is going to be. Doing a Google search yielded nothing. So I'm not quite sure what's going on here.

I ended up grabbing a late breakfast/lunch across the street....that'll be in a future post. On the way out of the parking lot, I decided to check out.....

Menya Ultra's Mira Mesa location:

Which is right next to Grocery Outlet. With all that brown paper up; it's hard to tell what's going on here.

So there you go....one morning of procrastination was pretty productive, even before I got into the office, don't you think?

There is a new revolving sushi place being built in the same plaza where tea station is at in Kearny Mesa.

Can't wait for Menya Ultra to open in Mira Mesa! I'm trying to remember what was previously in that storefront, but I'm drawing a blank. Years ago, a friend's daughter worked at that Submarina. One day, a large group of her parents' friends descended on that store for lunch. The look on her face when we came in the door was priceless!

hopefully there will be delicious shops coming your way:)

Hi Charles - You mean Mikami - yeah, I saw that the other day; but didn't take a photo....I believe it's that odd combination of Cajun Seafood and Kaiten Sushi?

Hi Sandy - Wasn't it like Radio Shack or something like that?

I hope so Kat!

[Soo]

There is a lot going on in Mira Mesa. I use to go to Radio Shack every month when they had the free battery of the month club.

[Faye]

Menya is coming to Mira Mesa?! I remember the Radio Shack there - that would a big(ger) location for them.

Thanks for procrastinating! I really enjoy these type of posts as San Diego is huge and it's so hard to keep track of everything.

[Junichi]

Looks like another ramen joint for Isshido.

Yes Kirk, that place. Weird combo of offerings though.

[Kirk]

Hi Soo - There sure is. Ain't it great!

Hi Faye - Yes, it was announced a while back. Hopefully there will be less of a wait at the Clairemont Mesa after they open

I'm glad you enjoy these posts RD!

Nice detective work Junichi....though they will be right across the street from Menya!

So, I wasn't seeing things Charles....that's good. Thanks for taking the time out to comment!

I hope Submarina isn't going the way of Togo's. I like Jersey Mikes, but it seems like they are just taking over everywhere...and Submarina makes a damn good sandwich.

[Kirk]

Hi Alan - Plus; if I remember correctly they started in San Diego.

I've never been a fan of submarina so glad to hear a Japanese restaurant opening in its place. I had heard that another ramen spot was opening and as I suspected, a different plaza than Menya. I think there is still some unclaimed real estate on the other side of the newly moved BevMo so curious what business will pop up next!

[Kirk]

There a lot going on in the area Lynn.
