Our beloved Brendan sends word that Asia 101 at 903 Embarcadero Del Norte in Isla Vista has opened. Hours are 3-9 p.m. The address was the long time home of Pho Bistro which opened in May 2007 and closed this summer. Photo Bistro holds the Restaurant Guy record for “Longest Appearance of a Grand Opening Sign” which stayed in place for nearly 5 years. I doubt this record will ever be broken because restaurants usually don’t even last that long let alone party that long. Those were good times.
