The lots have been vacant for at least a couple of decades.

Here's a photo in an old ad:

hmm odd I recall what was there looking very asiany - either way it was still asian lol..

I remember always wanting to eat there but our family never did. But yeah this proposal very much doesn't fit here design wise. And it's in the worst possible place for traffic. That and you got battlefield park on one side and a bunch of old heritage buildings and a cemetary on the other side and then.. this. And a gas station across from it - it just feels like a fish out of water.
