Oakland: Richie's now a Vietnamese place
Just drove by this morning on my way to run errands. The spot that used to be Richie's (corner of International & 4th) around the block from Happy Valley, is no more. Its been replaced with a Vietnamese restaurant w/ a grand opening banner. Since I was driving by in my car, didn't have a chance to notice anything else. Does anyone know if they're already open for business, or if they are still doing minor remodeling?
Frankly, I'm glad Richie's is gone. The last time we were there, several years ago, each dish we ordered came out COLD, like straight from the fridge cold. Even the seafood soft tofu dish. That totally turned me off, and I couldn't set foot in that place ever again.

yeah, I think they opened for business on 3/24. I live right by it but still haven't had the chance to stop by, was hoping to next week though.
Also agree with you about Richie's, bleh.

Let us know how it is if you try it. I also noticed a new Pho Ga place, "Pho Ga 69" over on E 12th St/12th Ave. A few new places in that neck of the woods..

Really? I was just by that area on Sunday at King of King. I guess I have some work to do.
