That corner and block was the shit in the early to mid 2000s. Jones. Angelina. Chifa across the street. Morimoto in its absolute heyday. That Mexican joint where you could notoriously drink underage.

Sad to see the decline of that block. But happy to see someone might try to revive it.

Oh man Chifa! That soy sauce collard greens thing they had was so good. The only thing I've had since that comes close to that level of umami bomb is the Brussels sprouts at Sampan. Good times, good times.
