For some Belmont residents, it will always be - that ultra-efficient, sparkling-clean ice cream and burger oasis with a huge menu and a friendly staff. And the location on Ralston Avenue is perfect - just before Hwy. 101, and the Belmont Sports Complex.
It's the cure for what ails you - comfort food for a Saturday afternoon, or an ice cream celebration after a hard-fought soccer match or baseball game.
When it changed it's name to a few years ago, most Belmont residents understood the switch, but it's often still referred to it by its original, beloved name.
But now, sadly, San Mateo resident and owner is departing his restaurant after 12 years of superb management and excellent service.
Without going into details, Sung Boo Yoo said he is ready for a new venture and has sold his business to a person who owns several doughnut shops (though not next door).
Sung Boo Yoo acknowledged his many loyal customers and his success on Ralston Avenue, but says it's time for new opportunities.
