All of the awnings have stickers affixed over what used to say Todai that now says Tatami. It remains to be seen how the new owners (?) and the new name change to Tatami will fare in Cupertino Square. The mall entrance sign is the only Todai name left on the restaurant... probably because of the cost to change it. Funny though, the mall management has still not changed the Vallco Fashion Park neon sign that adorns I-280. This makes the name change to Cupertino Square all the more odd. The sign is still there, but if you were actually looking for something named Vallco, you'd never find it. Just another in a long line of mistakes that that mall management keeps making and which causes that mall to fall into further obscurity. AMC is probably kicking itself for believing the mall management's rhetoric that AMC could revitalize that mall single-handedly. Frankly, it's not working. Thanks.
