Qin West Noodle and HaiDiLao coming to San Diego

As we were strolling UTC mall La Jolla yesterday we ran across Qin West Noodle (opening soon). This place is already in LA’s Chinatown (near Ocean Seafood which I also wouldn’t mind going to again) with more locations near UCLA and UCI. Looks good!

Reminds me of Xi’an Famous Foods, a regional Noodle shop in New York that opened to some fanfare several years ago…they look like they’re down to a single location now, maybe because of Covid.

Also landing at UTC is the largest hotpot restaurant in China, HaiDiLao. Other SoCal locations include Arcadia, Rowland, Irvine
