Retail Openings and Closures

South Coast Plaza DTF has been somewhat disappointing imo, I went to two locations in Seattle and they had much better food and services.

I actually really like the UTC location in San Diego versus South Coast.

What do you all think of Ja Jiaozi? I liked it the two or three times I went when I lived near the marketplace.

I'm also looking forward to DTF at the Spectrum!

Plum braised pork belly is decent at Jiaozi, but thought the dumplings there were average overall. Interior of restaurant is nice and modern, but I probably won’t come back again due to food poisoning-like symptoms the first time I tried to dine-in (yet this didn’t happen the few times I ordered delivery on UberEats).

Can’t wait for Din Tai Fung at Spectrum, will save the drive to Anaheim and South Coast. Happens to be near the 24 I workout at. I used to go to the location at Torrance Del Amo Mall when I lived in Redondo Beach. Din Tai Fung actually has a decent Old Fashioned on their cocktail menu.
