Just a couple of things for this Monday.
Itacho Sushi Replacing Mikami:
I saw a sign up on the former location of Mikami Sushi, so I drove on in to take a look.
Looks like another AYCE sushi place is taking the spot.

Tasty House Replacing Tealightful Cafe:
On the same drive I saw another new sign while driving West on Clairemont Mesa. This one in the former location of Tealightful Cafe....I didn't even know they closed. Seems like the owner has been having health issues....
The sign had me wondering if this place would have anything to do with Tasty Noodle House (more on that below), which folks told me had closed. But the Missus and "FOY" Xiāngjiāo both said that based on the Chinese name it's unlikely.

And what about Tasty Noodle House?:
I had heard and been asked if Tasty Noodle House has closed. Even though I https://mmm-yoso.typepad.com/mmmyoso/had a very mediocre visit back in February, the place was doing some good takeout-delivery business when I visited.
On my next foray to Convoy, I dropped by and noticed the doors to the restaurant were open.
But the hand written sign on the door said "Sorry! We Closed".
I then noticed, at the top left of the window, out of direct line of sight, this sign.....
Yikes!!!!!

And Finally, It's San Wo, not Sam Woo:
I recently went to the Clairemont Mesa location of 99 Ranch Market....this was actually on the same drive where I noticed Tasty House and the Itacho signs. Since the location on Balboa opened, which is closer to home, I seldom visit the legacy location any more. I quickly noticed a couple of changes....one of which will be in a future post. For some reason, I looked up and I noticed that the sign for Sam Woo BBQ had been "modified".
And now said "San Wo BBQ". What they heck? I had last visited in September of last year and I believe the sign still said "Sam Woo". What the heck is going on? I know that Sam Woo's are kind of a loose conglomeration of places based on a single family. I also know that the owner of the LA location was sentenced to prison for tax evasion, but this was news to me! Again our good friend Xiāngjiāo did tell me it's the same ownership....so I dunno. The Missus said the name in Chinese is the same, they took off the last character, but it's still the same.
