A sharp-eyed reader (Thanks Dean!) let me know that a new restaurant is taking over the old space that used to house Humble Potato at 8321 Lincoln Blvd. in Westchester. The new signs are already up announcing a branch of HiroNori Craft Ramen. HiroNori has locations throughout California and features proprietary “authentic ramen noodles, stock, and sauce“.
With one location already on Main St. in Santa Monica, it looks like cheery little Sunny Blue is expanding into Culver City, right next to the upcoming Humble Potato at 12608 West Washington Blvd. (corner of Mildred). Sunny Blue specializes in omusubi (otherwise known as onigiri) which are Japanese-style balls of rice filled with various fillings and eaten with the hand, hence their tagline “this place has balls”. But the environmentally aware mini-chain also offers salads, noodles, and frozen yogurt. No word on an opening date, but until then, read more here.
