Dough Zone lands in Berkeley, Hyphy Burger expands, and Good Times Oakland opens full bar and kitchen

"Dough Zone, a West Coast chain home to Chinese comfort foods like soup dumplings, Szechuan dan dan noodles and pan-fried potstickers, has opened in what was formerly Triple Rock Brewing's expanded space. It's an ideal spot for a fast casual lunch, and if you're not in the mood for dumplings, try the spicy beef sandwich, sweet and sour cucumber, or Shanghainese green onion soy sauce noodles."

"Good Times Oakland, a formerly online-only bottle shop, is now fully open in its North Oakland brick-and-mortar. The shop's retail component opened in July, but a full bar and kitchen have been in the works until now. Drop by Thursday through Monday from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. to sample some of the 20 wines available by the glass, 12 beers and ciders on tap, and robust spirits offerings. Pair your beverage with the $5 hot dog or a cheese and charcuterie plate."
