Sunday Stuffs - White Rice Replacing Fusion Eats, Zen Curry Temporarily Closed? And Aldi Coming to Clairemont

Just a couple of items for a leisurely Sunday.

White Rice Replacing Fusion Eats:

A couple of weeks back, I noticed that Fusion Eats appeared closed, so I drove on in.

 The note on the door said "we are closed
 but to check for updates. Which almost hints that this might be a temporary closure? 

But things became clearer when I read this post on Eater San Diego. Apparently, this space will be a future site of a location of White Rice. They'll probably do well here. And I'm hoping that it might be better than what I had at the Normal Heights location.

Is Zen Curry Temporarily Closed?:

Speaking of temporarily closed, I recently revisited PT Eatery. After finishing my meal, I took a walk to check out the location of YukDaeJung which is now open.

What caught my attention was that Zen Curry appeared closed.

    And here again was the note posted on the door stating "we are closed". I checked Google which indicated that the place is "Temporarily Closed" as well as that "four-lettered" site which also noted that the place is scheduled to reopen on September 1st. I also did a check on the Zen Curry website, which said the reopening date is TBD.

Interesting times......

Aldi Coming to Clairemont:

I had to go to the bank and was heading back home, taking the left onto Balboa west when I noticed that the former location of Rite Aid on the corner of Balboa and Genesee which closed during Covid and never reopened had a sign posted. So after making my left turn onto Balboa I headed into the parking lot.

Looks like there'll be a location of Aldi here?

This is going to be an interesting addition. I've been to the Mira Mesa location 2-3 times and thought the prices were good, with a small, tight selection, and super rude employees. So, we'll see.....

Hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July!

My friends are sad that Fusion Eats closed. I didn’t care for what I had there.

We finally checked out the Aldi in Mira Mesa a few weeks ago to see what all the excitement was about. Not impressed. I was expecting Trader Joe's on steroids, but not the case at all. Walked out without buying anything. Have a happy 4th!

Happy to see Aldi opening close by. They have very limited selection but that's how they keep prices low.

Happy 4th!

I wasn't overly fond of the food there either ST!

Hope you have a nice 4th Kat!

Thanks for the update Jessica!

It's more like a budget TJ's with limited inventory Peter....still, I think it has a place.

I think they'll do well there Junichi!

Hope you're having a wonderful 4th Kenneth!
