Btw Kinton Ramen just opened up at Marine Gateway also. I have yet to try it but the menu looks good.

Brentwood is going to be about 70-90k people once built out, that's about the size of New West or CoNV. It needs a lot of retail.
What Brentwood really lacks is small retail units, which are better for smaller businesses, bars, cafes, places that make neighbourhoods interesting, rather than another Starbucks, RBC branch, or McDonalds. There seems to be some planning to do this on Dawson, but not much. Hopefully things are less sterile as the neighbourhood matures.
