Observation (Noriega Between 19th Ave-24th Ave)

I went to Noriega on Fri, March 4th from 5PM-6:30PM

I went to Cafe Bakery from 5PM-6PM and ate dinner while observing.

5PM
  • Mostly senior citizens and middle-aged adults eating
    • majority of them were Chinese; some spoke Mandarin and some spoke Cantonese
  • 1 table of Filipino family
  • 2 tables of Caucasian families
  • Of all the tables no one had a group larger than 4
5:30PM
  • Families w/ their children
  • Teen groups and college student groups
  • New people arrived all Chinese
  • Still no group larger than 4
6PM

After eating dinner I walked down Noriega to about 24th Ave and took note of some businesses and their names.

Cafe Bakery - Chinese Restaurant
North East Medical Services - Chinese Hospital
Fujiyama-ya - Japanese Restaurant
Vietnamese Noodle House - Vietnamese Restaurant
Lanna Restaurant Thai Cuisine - Thai Restaurant
Pine BBQ Korean Cuisine - Korean Restaurant
Hawaiian Drive In - Chinese owned Hawaiian Restaurant
East West Bank - Chinese Bank
Bibles Books Cards Gifts - Chinese Bible Book Store
Dr. Louie Family Dentistry - Chinese Dentist Office
Fay Cleaners - Chinese Owned Cleaners
Star Learning Center - Chinese SAT/HW Tutoring Center
A&W Contractors - Chinese owned Construction Company
Aa Kitchen Appliance - Chinese owned Appliance store

There were more business names that I did not write down, but I noticed that the majority were Asian owned or directed for the Asian community.
