I’m still in the land of sun, water, and sand but I thought I’d let you in on what’s happening around town…
- My favorite Phoenix Noodle closed on July 27. The chef/owner decided not to renew their lease after 6 years and is now retired from the restaurant business. He was able to send all 4 sons to college and is now time for him to relax. You’ll remember him from his stint at Canton House where he was co-owner (and brother) of the current owner. Food tasted better when he was there. Incidentally, I was his very first customer and very last. I was a little teary eyed when my family left the place and they locked their doors and turned off the Open sign when we got out for the last and final time.
- V1 BBQ opened a new spot inside the Super H Mart in Johns Creek exactly a month ago. The menu is a condensed version of their original restaurant on BuHi and they mainly offer their barbecue meats and noodle soups.
- Super H Mart Doraville (where Shoya Izakaya sits nearby) isn’t slated to open until possibly November 2009. The reason: economy.
- HY Marketplace on North Berkeley Rd off Pleasant Hill in Gwinnett has not been granted a much needed loan as of this writing. This was originally set to compete with Super H Mart but received a cease-and-desist from the latter due to a dispute in the store’s name. After losing the legal battle, a super arcade opened in its place. It was short lived as expected. It plans to re-open as a competition to Super H once a loan has been secured.
- The owners of King and I (a Thai restaurant on Piedmont Ave.) is opening Zen Sushi on Peachtree St.
- A new Moroccan restaurant is slated to open soon on PIB in Duluth.

I CANNOT WAIT for Super H to open in Doraville. How’s business at Shoya Izakaya in that mostly empty shopping center?
