Inside Westfield Plaza Bonita.

This one is inside Westfield Plaza Bonita in National City, so it runs mall parking and mall hours rather than its own.

It is the only Tajima in the South Bay. Quick serve, a focused list, and no alcohol.

What is different about this room.

Quick-serve.

Inside Westfield Plaza Bonita, built for a mall pace. The same bowls, faster.

No alcohol.

There is no bar in this room and no happy hour, which is a deliberate answer rather than an omission.

Spanish first.

Spanish is the first language on this floor, English alongside it.

The only South Bay room.

Everything else is central or coastal San Diego.

Mall hours.

This room opens and closes with the mall, which is not the pattern the other five run.
