BIZNOTE: Signs are up for next restaurant in ex-Yen Wor space

Thanks for the tips! Two readers messaged us this morning about the signs now up for the restaurant taking over the former Yen Wor space at 2300 California SW. Taste of Mumbai is already in West Seattle – based out of the kitchens in The Triangle at 4611 36th SW, offering pickup and delivery. (Their menu is here.) We have a message out to check on the timetable for their restaurant/lounge in The Admiral District.

    Hopefully even half as fun as the Yen Wor!

      Agrred! They will keep the Karaoke, and as far as I’ve heard, they are going to try o keep the same vibe…we’ll see. Yen Wor is legend

    This is great news! I’ve ordered takeout from them a couple of times and it has been great!

    Nice!  I’d only recently heard about them, excited to try their food & have dosa on the peninsula.

    I love Indian food, yet I still think we need a respectable Chinese restaurant in West Seattle. Lee’s Asian Restaurant is greatly  missed.

    • anonyme October 10, 2023 (2:20 pm)

      I second that, Beto.  Lee’s was a wonderful place with great food and service.  I tried to eat there at least once a week when they were open.   A good Indian restaurant is a welcome next choice.  I keep wishing the Indian owners of A Pizza Mart on 35th would add Indian items to their take-out menu…

    Yay!  We’ve ordered take out from them a few times and it was delicious.  I’m interested in how they’ll be using all that space!

    Thrilled to see so many vegan items on this menu! Also thrilled that trend of opening pizza places has slowed lately. Any word on the Mexican joint taking over the old Spiro’s spot? Ultra excited for that one too!

      Thrilled to see a complaint about West Seattle having too many pizza places on a story about about one non-pizza restaurant being replaced with a different non-pizza restaurant. We are who they thought we were! Going to go throw a tennis ball for my dog on the beach while I think about this.

      • WS Resident October 10, 2023 (5:14 pm)

        @JethroMarx – exactly!!!! 

    • K October 10, 2023 (9:35 pm)

      Agreed! There ARE a lot of pizza places in West Seattle (four within a block of the restaurant in this story, some of which are just plain meh). Looking forward to trying Mumbai!

    Always love seeing the new restaurant announcements for West Seattle area! Excited to try this after the move & hopefully it’s not a long process with permits and such. We are still overdue for a decent Chinese food restaurant since Lee’s closed & what would be amazing would be a Korean BBQ restaurant with all you can eat deal! Excited to try the new TexMex type Mexican restaurant that’s taking over the prior Spiros pizza location on California Ave SW as well whenever it’s set to open, saw they painted the exterior so that’s a promising sign it may be sooner than later… Seems like it’s taken forever but lots of interior renovations have taken place from the looks of it.

    This is the best news I’ve read on the blog in days!  Can’t wait to visit.

  • Hotcoffee October 10, 2023 (4:01 pm)

    We’ve ordered from them often, and their food is quite good. But prices were high for a ghost kitchen so I can’t imagine what they’re going to charge when they’re full service. Side note – activity at the old Spiros this weekend. Is it still going to be a family Mexican food joint? Any updates on timing?

    • WSB October 10, 2023 (4:26 pm)

      I have been pinging them periodically for many months, including just a couple days ago when the place was painted. They say they are still not ready to talk about it.

    • SouthOfTheBorder October 10, 2023 (5:38 pm)

      It’s nacho business. Can’t taco ‘bout it. 

      • WSDUDEMAN October 10, 2023 (6:17 pm)

        Haha. Thank you.

    • YayRestaurants October 10, 2023 (9:10 pm)

      My partner and I have ordered multiple times and felt their prices were comparable to other restaurants. A pasta at Due Cucina can be up to $16, which is often deemed as an affordable option around here. In comparison a curry entree includes rice for $19, plus it usually lasts me two meals. Excited to have Taste of Mumbai’s brick and mortar so close by!

    • West Seattle Mad Sci Guy October 11, 2023 (10:55 am)

      At the risk of being labelled the west Seattle penny pincher. This is my exact thought about this place. So many times I started an order but couldn’t stomach the price and did the thai chicken place in the same commissary kitchen or got food from the Indian place on California (leaving out restaurant names…)

  • NRK October 10, 2023 (4:09 pm)

    I am so excited that they are getting a brick and mortar restaurant! We have ordered takeout several times, and the food is great, and more importantly, the owners/staff are very nice.

    • Elton October 10, 2023 (10:48 pm)

      Came here to say the same. Good luck to them! Excited to visit it.

Sorry, comment time is over.
