As we say goodbye to October, we say hello to November, the holidays, and the restaurants that opened in the month that's past in our usual round-up. There were a lot of openings that we wrote about last month. There was, of course, more poke shops, which makes our count at about a million, but also a new Laotian place, which ups our tally of Laotian restaurants in OC to two.
Without further ado, here's the list of the open/shut cases.
