Yesterday, a little bird ― not, incidentally, one that had been brined, fried, and dunked in chile sauce and served up in a sleek, stylish setting ― told us a rumor we hadn't already heard: The fryer-happy fraternity behind popular Richmond District Korean-fusion eatery
Namu is supposedly planning to open an izakaya-vibed establishment at an undisclosed location in the Mission District. According to our source ― who might very well have been wronger than a soggy just-before-closing three-piece from Popeye's ― the Lees are looking to stay open late and serve up dishes that go well with drinks, along with plenty of drinks to keep folks eating.
Vrai or
