I haven't done one of these in a while; so let's ketchup catch up.
Taste of the Himalaya's Coming to Renaissance Towne Center:
I wanted something fast and just thought I'd grab some lunch to go and catch my favorite "character" in Renaissance Towne Center. When I headed back to my car, I noticed that the pizza place is being replaced with another outlet of Taste of the Himalayas
That pizza place lasted maybe 2 years?
It is good seeing a bit variety in the area.
The address is:
8895 Towne Centre Dr #115
San Diego, CA 92122
About Fish Replacing Nozomi on Convoy:
I was revisiting a certain business in this strip mall and was just trying to survive both the crazy people trying to park and the over zealous parking lot attendant. I didn't even notice that Nozomi was gone until I had backed out of my space.
This one was a bit of a surprise as I thought Nozomi was always fairly popular. Cathy's last post on Nozomi was....wow, nine years ago!
4637 Convoy St Ste 104
San Diego, CA 92111
Red Cate Looks Closed:
I've passed by several times during what should be service hours and the place looks closed. Though I find it weird that those chairs are still outside.
Another place that didn't last too long. We had actually attempted to visit in April of 2017, and even though the open sign was lit, they told us they weren't open for another hour.
3860 Convoy St
San Diego, CA 92111
And just in case you want to buy something for that special someone......I saw this at Marukai.
I already know what a couple of folks are getting for Christmas this year...….
Hope you're having a great week!
RIP Nozomi's Famous Chirashi Salad. Before being introduced to that dish I didn't know anything about gochujang or hwe dup bap.

I hadn't been to Nozomi in a long time, probably longer ago than Cathy's review. I also remember the chirashi salad well.

The end of an era MrZ!
It was one of the items that they did a decent job with Sandy.
Depends on who's been naughty and who's been nice Kat! ;o)

Never had the chance to try Red Cate. They never seemed to be open.

Well, at least I saw the place opened Junichi....once!

In that same shopping center as taste of Himalayas is, and Chicago fire, have you tried the Italian (Stella’s) and the Thai place (star anise)? Both I think are hidden gems.

I did try Star Anise Thai and thought it was rather "Gringo-ish" Thai...perhaps I need to have a coplue more visits Loren? I'll definitely try Stella's! Thanks for the recommendations!
