Danville Soup and Salad Shack closed only a couple of months after opening on E. Prospect Ave. in Danville. I was glad to have been able to try their clam chowder. Oh well.

It’s been weeks since the downtown Walnut Creek Greek restaurant Pomegranate has been open due to, “staff training”. I remember how proud the previous owner was about their pomegranate trees in front of the restaurant. I know there is a new owner but how much longer do we have to wait for this to reopen?
1523 Giammona Dr, Walnut Creek
It’s been over a year since we first learned about Tozai Izakaya opening in downtown Walnut Creek and the wait will soon be over as they soft open next Thursday on January 3rd. Compared to Ramen Hiroshi (same owners), this spot is way more spacious. Considering how much I enjoy the ramen there (especially in the East Bay), I can’t wait to try the food here as well!

Last week we learned that Torsap Thai Kitchen would be opening in downtown Walnut Creek where Sunol Ridge used to be and they have now opened. The warm yet modern looking inside feels amazing and with a menu designed by San Francisco-based chef Lalita Souksamlane (see menu here) I look forward to trying these dishes out! Check out more photos below including an amazing gold-leaf embellished mural in front. Note that they plan to serve beer from the taps left over from Sunol Ridge which won’t be available until they get their ABC state license.

Golden Corral will be opening in a new Concord location right across from the Veranda shopping center where Hometown Buffet used to be. Their closest nearby locations are in Sacramento and Tracy. Check out nutrition details for their menu items here.
From their website:
When the first Golden Corral® restaurant opened in Fayetteville, North Carolina in 1973, Golden Corral Corporation took a confident first step in the restaurant business, beginning a tradition of offering guests real, wholesome foods in a family-friendly atmosphere and at a great value. Nearly 45 years later, Golden Corral® is honored to be called America’s #1 buffet and grill.
The Shops at Todos Santos, Concord
Of all the restaurants coming to the new Shops at Todos Santos plaza in Concord it’s not surprising that Chipotle is making the most progress.
Thanks to a reader who emailed that they are planning to open mid-January.
The Vineyard, Concord
In April we learned that the cafe Bambu would be coming to the Vineyard shopping center in Concord and thanks to a reader for pointing out they have been closed for months now. Despite the “hope to see you again soon” sign on the door, judging by the emptiness inside I’m not getting my hopes up.

According to an employee Torsap Thai Kitchen is planning to open this week, possibly as early as Wednesday, December 19th, in downtown Walnut Creek where Sunol Ridge used to be.
The Veranda, Concord
SoCal-based Silverlake Ramen opened recently at the Veranda shopping center in Concord. Seating is only available outside but the wraparound patio has quite a lot of sitting room. The Classic ramen I had with tonkotsu broth was better than expected. Check out their ramen selection here.
1653 Mt. Diablo Blvd, Walnut Creek
The restaurant Baygreens Salads, which we learned would be coming to downtown Walnut Creek where Home of Chicken and Waffles used to be, has now opened. In addition to salads they also offer paninis, soups and fresh fruit and veggie drinks. Check out their menu here. To celebrate their first week in business they’re offering 50% all salads, paninis, soup and fresh juice drinks through Saturday, December 15th, making this one of the best deals in Walnut Creek right now. I’ve tried several of their fresh juice drinks and they are outstanding. Check this place out ASAP while this sale is on!
