Not sure about Mi, they seemed to open with a fanfare, fairly vocal on social media then just disappeared with a post in late August saying they were temporarily closing for a couple of days. I think they're a chain, albeit there's another Mi Street Food in Gorey.
Does Waterford really need 4 dedicated noodle bars though, considering about a year ago there was none? 2 Ramens, Lana out by the Cove and Mi Street food, maybe the business just wasn't there for them?
I see WowBurger, who in my opinion are the best of the "hip" recent burger bars around Dublin are opening in Waterford tomorrow, in the Craftsman of all places
Seems a very strange choice of venue to me, both in respect of pub and location. They do tend to partner up and have locations in pubs in Dublin but these tend to be trendy/hipster type places and are generally central enough locations. Time will tell I guess, I can see them doing really well in Waterford, just not in that location. Maybe it's better for my waistline they aren't that central :pac:

Just because its not on the Dunmore road doesnt mean its in a bad location,its actually in a great location and im sure they done their homework before opening up,thousands of people living,working and studying in a small area seems like a good location to me.0 -

Have I touched a nerve?
I don't know where you're getting the Dunmore road from? I personally don't live on the Dunmore road either, so if they opened there that would be equally inconvenient for me. When I say a more central location, I meant a more central location i.e. the city centre.
I agree, in normal times Lisduggan would be a good location, however these aren't normal times and I personally can't see people going to the hassle of going to Lisduggan just to get a burger, just as I couldn't see people heading to any other pub in the suburbs just to get a burger, no matter how good they are.
Time will tell and personally I hope they do well, I just don't understand why they didn't open somewhere in the city centre.0 -

Haha no you didn't hit a nerve ,my point was that it doesn't need people to go to the hassle of going there ,it has enough people in the area to support it normal times or not,there's thousands living in Larchville,Lismore,Lisduggan,Ballybeg ,Sunrise crescent,Woodlawn Grove etc ,then you have couple thousand working in the estate who don't live in the area who would go in there on their way into/home from work,i agree dont know why they didnt open in town but maybe they'll see how this goes first.0 -
