With word that the Vietnamese restaurant Kevin’s Noodle House is reopening in Concord, and considering their Walnut Creek location has been open for a while now, I’m wondering what Vietnamese restaurants people have been going to. There is also Saigon Vietnamese Bistro on Newell Ave. that replaced Pho Saigon. So what’s your favorite Vietnamese restaurant?
1833 Willow Pass Rd, Concord
The Vietnamese restaurant Kevin’s Noodle House that has been undergoing remodeling the past few months in the Park ‘N’ Shop center is reopening this Saturday, October 25th. “Free coffee/soda with any rice or noodle dish through 11-01-14”. Check out their menu here.
1665 Willow Pass Rd, Concord
Bonjour Bakery & Cafe is “coming soon” to the Park ‘N’ Shop center in Concord on Willow Pass Rd. Stay tuned…
1930 Mt. Diablo Blvd, Walnut Creek
The sign outside the soon-to-be-open Noah’s Bagels in downtown Walnut Creek where Blockbuster Video used to be on Mt. Diablo Blvd. says “open in 3 days” so it looks like it will be officially opening this Wednesday, October 22nd. Inside looks like a typical Noah’s Bagels with plenty of seating available.
1633 Bonanza St, Walnut Creek
A new ramen and yakitori restaurant called Ramen Hiroshi will be opening the beginning of November in downtown Walnut Creek where 310 Eatery used to be on Bonanza St. Since they don’t have their alcohol license yet they’re starting with ramen initially with plans to add yakitori later on. The owner mentioned one of my favorite South Bay ramen spots Orenchi from Santa Clara so I’m very hopeful!
2380 Monument Blvd, Pleasant Hill
Back in May we learned that Pieology Pizzeria was coming to the Crossroads Shopping Center in Pleasant Hill and they opened in late June. Check out their menu here. I wonder how this’ll stack up to Project Pie opening up in Walnut Creek?
15 Crescent Dr, Pleasant Hill
Jack’s Restaurant and Bar is planning on opening a new beer bar with separate entrance behind their current location in downtown Pleasant Hill on Crescent Drive where Golden Nails Salon used to be. According to the owner they’re looking to get, “at least 20 tap handles and maybe some tap wines”. There will also be an opening inside to move back and forth between the restaurant and beer bar. Check out their website here.
2 Theatre Square, Orinda
A new wine bar called Cine Cuvée is opening next to the Orinda Theatre where Kasper’s Hot Dogs used to be. Looks like there will be a movie/wine connection based on their Facebook page:
“Brin[g]ing cinema and wine together!”
“Cine – a combining form meaning “motion picture”
Cuvée – a type, blend, or batch of wine”
Coming Soon:
1320 Locust St, Walnut Creek
There has been quite a lot of progress with the new Veggie Grill coming to downtown Walnut Creek and now their Facebook page notes that they expect to open mid to late November. Check out their menu here. They will be located right next to Anthropologie and Tender Greens on Locust St.
1411 Locust St, Walnut Creek
Check out all the signage at the recently re-opened LA street food style restaurant 310 Eatery at the Redux Lounge in downtown Walnut Creek. Previously they were located around the corner on Bonanza St. Their Facebook page is here.
