Chick’n Rice is open on Center Street serving Khao Mun Gai two ways, poached and fried:
Enoteca Mediterraneo looks like an interesting neighborhood tapa/ wine bar with reasonable prices on Solano Ave run by a Persian gentleman.
Ooh, and open for lunch, too. I’ll try to make it sometime this week.
The place looks more like a real snack bar for the locals than any of the glitzy ‘tapas bar’ that opened all around the Bay Area in the last few years. If I don’t live so far away I’d be there too.
Rice and Bones is now open inside Wurster Hall at Cal. Got some fancy grass fed beef and organic chicken pho. From Charles Phan.
I’m so glad I saw this, because I had an eye appointment next door today. Just had a chicken bun (normally $4, but they charged $3). No line at 1:30. The bun was delicious – gingery with a generous amount of filling.
Sliver Pizzeria has closed in Berkeley, and is relocating to a TBD location.
I thought I saw this here, but it’s not in this thread so I’ll add
A branch of Bonchon Korean fried chicken opened at 2050 Berkeley way. They are not doing takeout yet and we’re quite bus when I stopped by.
Also this week, the Berkeley branch of the Bonchon Korean fried chicken chain opened.

I found a parking space out front yesterday with time on the meter and checked out the menu. I was hoping to just get a chicken leg to sample, but a “small” portion was five legs for $13 (I think). I can’t eat five drumsticks, and I have a mild case of flu, so I passed. It was pretty busy at 1:00 PM, and the non-chicken dishes on the tables looked great, most of them also in the $13 range. Nice room.
