Just last week, I was parked in front of the former Bar Bambino in the Mission, wondering who the next taker was going to be for that chic space. And then boom, a new ABC license hit the wires, announcing MARUYA from Masaki Sasaki and Raymond Feliciano. Sushi hounds will recognize Sasaki’s name, who has done stints at the former Kantaro, Sebo, 2G Japanese Brasserie, and Hecho. I’m waiting to hear back from Sasaki regarding their plans for the space; stand by. 2931 16th St. at S. Van Ness.
