When is Hanoi Grill going to open?

dion · August 2008

It's website is still in progress it seems. Anyone know? I quite fancy some Vietnamese food.

Bridget · August 2008

So do I!

katiejane · August 2008

It's all gone very quiet since they put the sign up hasn't it?

andy · August 2008

Maybe because of supply chain problems at the Gulf of Tonkin Grill.

matt · August 2008

I looked inside the other day and inside looks unchanged since the Greek(?) place closed down?

Colette · August 2008

I'm starting to get a bit worried that it's never going to open.

katiejane · October 2008

They're taking the sign down! : (

Colette · October 2008

What? I walked past last night and it actually looked like it was close to opening - the lights were on and I could see a bar and quite a lot of other stuff in there.
Sigh, this is most disappointing.

jandb · October 2008

I guess it's not the greatest time to be starting/expanding a business, so maybe it's not a great surprise.

tosscat · October 2008

Yes, I noticed this on the way back from work this evening. Such a shame. Soup kitchen anyone?

Bridget · October 2008

Oh no. We would have filled it up and kept it going. Id love a Vietnamese now. Arrgh.

Such a shame, I used to like going to Kingsland Road when I lived nearby but its a mare to park there now and with an ankle biter a bit tricky to get out much.

Booooooo! I was really looking forward to them opening.

matt · October 2008

Dotori should move in there, they're full every night these days!

Giles · October 2008

After going to Vietnam, I fell in love with the food and used to make regular trips to Kingsland Road ( Song Que ) but also post two children that happens less often.

I was put off by the Hanoi caff marketing healthy food. Vietnamese food is good balanced healthy stuff, but if I'm walking down a high street "healthy" turns me off - I'll expect underseasoned food and earnest people in peruvian hats.

Ali · October 2008

I have heard from on of the other shop keepers that they were unable to get loan from the bank to open up although there is lots of work going on so don’t what is actually going in there

katiejane · October 2008

Blimey - they've removed the whole shop front this morning...

andy · October 2008

This place was getting a serious working over the last few days. Is this the landlord making it lettable or is something else about to be opened?

verga · October 2008

@ dion

Do you not know the difference between it's and its?

@ matt

Yes, Dotori should move in, but only as long as they get a bigger fridge for there red wine and beer.

sophie · October 2008

@ verga do you not know the difference between there and their? no offence, like, but you started it.

andy · October 2008

hoist on your own a grammar-related petard. my its/it's knowledge is particularly shocking

Philistine'sMonster · October 2008

A "pancake place" is what I heard. May be nothing more than idle gossip, though, so don't take my word for it.

katiejane · October 2008

my old dutch? or are we talking crepes I wonder?

unaesthetic · October 2008

ihop?!

andy · October 2008

crepe affair? <http://www.crepeaffaire.com/news.htm>; Older members of this site will remember the site's enduring fascination with [crepes](http://www.stroudgreen.org/discussion/153/) and [waffles](http://www.stroudgreen.org/discussion/127/waffles/). So maybe it's just the market catching up. Next up, [Laser Quest](http://www.stroudgreen.org/discussion/209/#Comment_1269)

belgium waffles?

tosscat · October 2008

A grammar discussion? Colette, hello!

verga · October 2008

@ dion - sorry, to point out your mistake and make one myself - how embarrasing! Maybe I should pay more attention in future.

jandb · October 2008

I thinks it's embarrassing rather than embarrasing too.

tosscat · October 2008

Let's not comment on comma usage either.

matt · October 2008

@unaesthetic: I'd all but blocked that out! and now it's back!

tosscat · October 2008

While we're on the subject, when is Mela going to reopen - that refurb must be stunning. Will it be featured on a Grand Designs commercial premises special?

Colette · October 2008

Hi Tosscat. I've been away. I'm back though now.

Howdy, Stranger!
