When the popular Cuban restaurant Paladar closed on Kearny St., I noticed that the liquor license had been transferred to the original owner of Million Thai on Van Ness, and speculated (on the other board) that it would become a Thai restaurant.
That plan apparently fell through, and it is now Sababa, a fast casual pita bar whose manager/chef is Guy Eshel, a native Israeli who formerly cooked for AQ.
Eater had an article on Sababa before it even had a space:
AQ/TBD Team Going Fast-Casual with Sababa, A New Falafel Concept
There are already several Yelp reviews
It’s at 329 Kearny St., in the block I once speculated might be the most culinarily diverse block in all of San Francisco.
