This is part of the reason that “service included” places don’t pass it through to the menu prices. It’s a mistake to be the only ones doing it (the Bauer review I linked to above just quotes the prices directly, “nobody” mentally compares by adding/removing the 20%).

Since you lived nearby, I always felt that the location was unlikely to succeed. Is there actually a lot of foot traffic there?

Orenshi Ramen, Burma Love, and Shizen all opened in the past few years and seem to be doing really well. On the other hand there’s a spot between 14th & 15th on Valencia that went through 3 restaurants in 3 years.

The places that are succeeding are all second or third efforts - maybe experience really pays off?
