Chiko, the Eater Awards 2017 editor’s choice winner for Game Changer of the Year in Washington, D.C., is winging its way to North County, where it will open in Encinitas later this summer. Named for the two cuisines — Chinese and Korean — that the menu most represents, it’s been an out-of-the gate hit since its opening last July and remains one of the toughest tables to score in the nation’s capital.
Leucadia already has a fusion restaurant - Chinatown on Leucadia Blvd. It's going to be tough for a newcomer to top this, especially if they come from Trumpland.
ReplyDeleteChinese Italian fusion?
DeleteChinatown is awful.
DeleteIf you think otherwise, then you need to go to Convoy and try real Asian food.
I think you mean the previous DB Hacker's location.
ReplyDeleteOriginally DB hackers, yes, but Bull Taco was the former restaurant for years after DB Hackers.
ReplyDeleteIt is a tough business when something like 70% or so, don't make it more than a few years, if that long.
Best wishes to the next one.
Not enough parking.
ReplyDeleteThere is more parking there than you think.
DeleteIf there's enough parking, why did two previous restaurants in that spot fail?
Delete7:25 thinks the only reason restaurants fail is parking.
DeleteGenius.
Well, OK, if there's enough parking at that location, why did the two previous restaurants there go out of business?
DeleteBull Taco went on a growth spree and opened too many locations to properly manage quality and service.
DeleteIf the 101 location were a money maker for a restaurant, there would be a long-term restaurant there.
DeleteIf Bull Taco didn’t have a wider management problem, their other locations would have survived.
DeleteDid DB Hacker have a wider management problem?
DeleteWhat about the Jamroc 101 Caribbean Grill?
DeleteWhy did it go OOB?
There is illegal parking on the right-of-way up and down 101. There is no legal parking available on lecaudia coastline.
ReplyDeleteDB Hacker's didn't "go out of business," the owners retired.
