2 Restaurants that always seem to be empty

O Sushi House at 403 University Ave.

It is a large space and one never sees more than two or three customers. Use to be the site of Taxi's Hamburgers.

Round Table Pizza at 263 University

There are a lot of pizza places and Italian restaurants that serve pizza on and near University Avenue. They all seem to be popular, busy, and full of customers except this place.

Food Fallout

Two eating establishments have recently closed a couple doors apart on University Ave. Gone are Han's Korean Bistro and Michael's Gelato & Cafe.

Han's Korean Bistro gone at 452 University

For Lease at 440 University. Was Michael's Gelato & Cafe

This makes for a retail dead spot along with the closed Border's Books and vacated old Apple store location at the intersection of University Avenue and Kipling Street.
