Boy, this past week has been some kind of humid, huh? I'm just going to do a short post today of places that look like are current works in progress.
CoCo Ichibanya:
Last I heard, CoCo Ichibanya was supposed to open during this summer. Well, it's near the end of August. So, during one of my shopping trips to Nijiya, I decided to see what was going on.
Well, doesn't look like much yet. So perhaps it might not be ready for prime time this month? Or perhaps they are using my "endless March 2020" calendar...which would still make it March......176th!
I guess it's a bit too hot for curry right now anyway, right?

Meanwhile, right next to CoCo Ichibanya was a place I hadn't noticed.
Da Nang Corner:
The restaurant's Facebook Page mentions that the restaurant is taking a bit longer than expected to build out. I'm hoping we get some good Mi Quang?
I'm kinda excited about this place.

The Missus and I were taking a little drive around the 'hood, when I noticed that the long time Chinese Fast Food shop Wok in Express next to JV's and Waters was gone and is going to be......yep, a Vegetarian Shop! You gotta say.... Morena sure is changing, ain't it?
Now, if we only get a bakery selling really got croissants!

Hope you're keeping cool and staying safe!
Have a great week!
For Coco, I've heard they will open next year. I passed by that area about month ago or so and didn't see any signs for the restaurant. So they probably just started construction.

There doesn't seem to be much going on Elle, so I'm guessing you're correct.
I keep hoping Kat!

The Saigon restaurant that took over the old Yum Cha Cafe spot in Linda Vista hasn't done anything since they put up the sign. Covid sure did put a dent in a lot of businesses plans.

That's for sure Junichi! Which is why these places opening during this time is even more impressive.

CoCo from Tokyo? We saw one near Akihabara last Winter but never made it in.

Yes, that CoCo Ichibanya Jan - thay have something like over 1,000 locations in Japan and are in another dozen or so countries - there's even one on Kapiolani Boulevard in Honolulu.
