The all you can eat SoCal-based shabu shabu restaurant Shabuya is coming to The Veranda in Concord and their Coming Soon signage is now up. Check out their menu here. Interesting that wagyu beef is included in the all-you-can eat option as I thought that was one of the most expensive items on a menu. I look forward to trying this place out since I love shabu shabu.

Main Street Kitchen, which closed back in March for an expansion and remodeling has reopened in downtown Walnut Creek.

(Sink is outside though). Check out their brunch menu here, lunch menu here and dinner menu here. Check out their website here. The food here is delicious! Keep in mind they are a ‘no tip’ restaurant, instead they charge a 20% service charge for everyone.
