I don't know what's going in there, but across the street from Ethel's, it feels a bit like "we want to live directly next to the bustling core of a major city, we just don't want it to bustle in ways we don't personally use or at times we don't personally use it." Maybe no open windows with loud music pumping into the neighbourhood until 2am? Sure. But it's quite surprising to go after an establishment at the knees, its base ability to function.
Just out of curiosity, did Empress of India have alcohol (I hope that’s not a dumb question)? I agree that right on King is exactly where you want restaurants etc. and unless the new establishment will be a rowdy bar it doesn’t seem at all reasonable to oppose it.
