“I got tired of going over the bridge for sushi,” Simons said.
Royal has faced all kinds of delays in its opening at 782 S. Second St., as it takes the corner spot that was La Grolla and Il Villagio over the years.
Simons said Royal would open in late May or early June.
I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 6 years. Been hearing about this same opening for 6 years. Not convinced it’ll ever happen.
It was rumored to be a ramen spot for years. This is a different rumor
