The perpetually vacant spot on Valencia between Blondie’s and Limon finally removed their plywood to reveal… yet another Thai restaurant! If at this point you’re wondering whether there’s more Thai restaurants or Thai people in San Francisco, I think it’s safe to bet on the restaurants.
As Grub Street reported several months ago, this spot was previously a punk venue with a strange history.
Ozone Thai recently replaced Gavin Newsom’s Jack Falstaff restaurant on 2nd Street.
Today when I was walking by, I couldn’t help but to notice this sign outside:
How ironic!
Malai Thai on 16th St. and Guerrero is closed. But behind the wrapping paper and Engrish sign, what’s going on? Renovation? Cleaning? …Murder? Who knows! The mystery continues.
I was walking in South Beach today when I noticed this sign posted in the ol’ Jack Falstaff space:
You might recall Jack Falstaff was one of Gavin “Hair” Newsom’s failed enterprises. Now it’s transitioning to be a Thai restaurant, seemingly a new location for Ozone Thai.
