The Reyes Adobe Plaza on Canwood Street in Agoura HIlls welcomed several new eateries in recent months. Charm Thai Cuisine opened last month in the former home of Niroj Kurdish Cuisine (which closed not that long ago - on July 31st).  More info at www.eatcharm.com.

After a stint as a "pop up" eatery, Naked Ramen has opened a "permanent" (well, as permanent as any brick and mortar restaurant can be) co-located at Brendan's Irish Pub. More info at www.facebook.com/RamenAgoura.

Sayka Sushi in Westlake Village Closed in the Summer of 2017

sayka sushi.JPG

Sayka Sushi, located next to Rustico at 1125 Lindero Canyon Road (at Kanan), Suite A1-B in Westlake Village, closed sometime in the summer of 2017. That’s all I got on this one.

Sayka. What does that mean? It reminds me of Sanka, an instant, decaffeinated coffee brand now owned by Kraft Foods, The 1941 Laurel and Hardy comedy Great Guns includes a scene in which Stan Laurel, in an Army mess hall line, is handed a cup of coffee. He asks "Sanka?", and the mess attendant replies, "You're welcome!" This has nothing to do with Sayka of course but I do love Laurel and Hardy.

14 Cannons Brewery and Showroom Now Open in Westlake Village

14 Cannons Brewery and Showroom recently opened at 31125 Via Colinas, Suite 907 in Westlake Village.  In addition to serving up its own craft brews, 14 Cannons is the first ever brewery building showroom, featuring vendor equipment for others looking to build their own brewery!

According to the 14 Cannons website, "The name of the brewery traces back to roots of the owner and builder, Marshall Haraden. His great-great-great uncle was Jonathan Haraden, commander of the 1776 tyrant killing ship, Tyrannicide. “Tyrannicide was a 14-gun brigantine-rigged sloop of the Massachusetts State Navy. The ship was built for the American Revolutionary War.” From this patriotic lineage, the name of the brewery and flagship beer were born."

Beers on tap include Bestlake Blonde, Pale Ale, Spice Island Chai Tea Brown Ale, Tyrannicide IPA and Weathered Sail Nitro Coffee Stout.

Visit www.14cannons.com or call 818.6752.6971 for more information.
