""What we didn't expect was the response - customers were coming by, messaging us, and sharing stories about what the restaurant meant to them. It made us realize this wasn't just a place to eat - it had become part of people's routines and memories.""
""The longtime restaurant, which started in San Carlos initially before moving to Menlo Park, faced eviction last year when its downtown building on Chestnut Street changed ownership.""
Shiok, a Singaporean restaurant, is reopening in Menlo Park at 625 Oak Grove Ave after facing eviction last year. The soft opening is scheduled for April 13, with a public reopening on April 17. The menu will feature favorites like Hainanese Chicken and Beef Rendang. The restaurant, which has been part of the community since 1999, pivoted to takeout and delivery during its closure. Owner Dennis Lim noted the strong emotional connection customers have with the restaurant, highlighting its significance in their lives.
