We just learned the sushi bar at Irvine Gelson’s is massive and run by 2 Japanese sushi chefs. Anyone been there? The bartender from Irvine was at our Dana Point Gelson’s Friday and told us.

This is the Gelson's at Jeffery & Alton?

Will drop by this week and have a look. I recall a poke bar but not a sushi bar...

Yes. I’m going to check it out tomorrow.

Went to Coastal Kitchen in DP last night - not a Houston’s restaurant but has some connection as it’s basically the Gulfstream menu. Incredible food and bar scene and very good pricing. No need to go to Irvine or Newport for a Houston’s fix!
 
Have yet to try Silverlake Ramen, what do you think of it compared to HiroNori?

I've had it at the Spectrum when they first opened there and it's fine.

Apparently one of the HiroNori founders co-founded and managed the original Silverlake Ramen in LA before opening up HiroNori because the owner of Silverlake Ramen wouldn't allow him ownership stake. https://extension.ucr.edu/features/chasingadream
 
Wienerschnitzel off of Jamboree just south of Campus closed I don't know when. That has been there for decades.

Starbucks going to move there from their spot next to Round Table Pizza.
 
Starbucks is taking over. They opened up a new one on edinger and jamboree where the old jack on the box used to be. I never see anyone there. So if you are craving Starbucks and dont want to wait in the drive thru lane you can go here.

They finally started construction on the Starbucks next to McDonald’s on culver/irvine center drive. They have had that coming soon sign forever and the one on edinger opened up faster - granted the building was already there since it was the old jack in the box.

woah, for 20+ years I would eat at that jack in the box while getting tires.

I'm so tired of all of these Starbucks locations. It's becoming overkill. I wish we could get a few drive-thru Coffee Beans at least.
