In recent months, several notable restaurant closures have impacted the East Bay food scene. C Casa, an Emeryville taqueria, shuttered its doors after seven years, primarily citing post-pandemic economic struggles alongside significant fines for labor law violations. Carry On Curry, a fast-casual Indian restaurant, also closed its Old Oakland location unexpectedly. Meanwhile, Monkey King Pub & Grub announced its closure through a heartfelt letter, expressing that it lacked the resources to maintain operations amidst an aging workforce of skilled chefs. Two locations of Monkey King remain in Alameda, while Yummy Yummy Hibachi is set to take over the Piedmont spot.
