Not sure if this has been mentioned here, as I didn’t see it in the last few pages, but Don Julio Tacos & Tequila Bar is coming soon next to Bobby O’Briens on King St in DTK:

It is in the building next door. It looks like access to it is through the area where Bobby O'Brien's used to have their volleyball court.

Interesting. Should make for an interesting nightlife "node".

Curious what it's like. There's potential there

Love a good margarita with my tacos!

Thaifoon! Thanks ... was not open on Thursday yet so must have just opened.

Casa Toro should be very soon, too.

One would hope - bad Indian food not an experience to repeat.

Bad food of any kind is not an experience to repeat. Not sure why one needed to qualify that with a specific cultural type as it has no extra explanatory power.

To be fair, Indian food would also be one of the top ethnic foods that first comes to my mind that has given me digestive issues. That’s near the top with Mexican/Burritos and Sushi Smile while I still love them and keep going back and it has nothing to do with anything towards the culture itself, I’d agree there are specific types of food that one would hope moreso to not have bad dishes of.

Taste of Seoul Express opened in the DTK building last week. They are still holding their original location on Victoria, presumably to continue catering out of.

I appreciate Andrew Coppolino integrating information from various sources for this piece. I'm reluctant to believe single-source reports. I guess it's a thing.
