I used to play golf with “Nick” at Boulder Ridge in San Jose. I had no idea they are now selling franchises in SoCal. Their food is very authentic.

I'm much more concerned about freshness and quality over price, to be honest. I'm hoping that the new Irvine location will be a more premium, actually fresh offering

"Galpão Gaucho’s dimly-lit elegance combines round stone walls with wood beams above white tablecloths, where diners can take the restaurant’s 18 select cuts — including the flashy 24-karat golden steak — all carved with a facón (gaucho knife) by uniformed servers. Churrascaria aficionados can put in a special request for grilled chicken hearts, one of the trademark specialties that the best Brazilian barbecues serve. A full dining experience (meat, salad bar, and sides) costs $75 a person for dinner and on weekends. Weekday lunch is available for $55 a person. Those who want to eat lighter can do the salad bar and hot items like feijoada for only $36."
Seriously? The market table at Fogo de Chao is $18 and these guys charge double at $36?

Socials says the LA Tokyo Central is even better. Anyone been?

Don't know if prices and selections are better than some of the other stores, but wasn't a fan of the layout or the food bar at the one over in Costa Mesa. Perhaps I'm just comfortable with Mitsuwa.

Seiwa is so smalla though.

Saw that Katsu Bar opened next to the closed Popcorn Chicken in Culver Plaza. Looks pretty good, bowls, plates and sandwiches.

Napa Valley’s Best Brazilian Steakhouse Expands to a Huge New Irvine Restaurant
Galpão Gaucho opened last month in a standalone Irvine restaurant

Looks like the old Rite-Aid location next to AAA in WestPark Plaza is going to be a TJMaxx?
Don't they have a Marshall's already in that center and aren't they owned by the same company?

I just looked and it's becoming a Ross. I'm surprised they're putting one there to be honest.

Oh… it’s a Ross not a TJMaxx. I think those are 2 different owners.

Yeah they're competitors, but Marshall's is higher end than Ross. I'm sure it'll always be busy so this should be interesting.

I’ve seen TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Ross all on the same shopping plazas in Torrance and I think Costa Mesa as well. I’m sure people will continue to just bargain hunt store to store for the most part.
