"That Chevy's Fresh Mex on the San Francisco Bay waterfront in Emeryville was not unlike the famed Taco Bell Cantina in Pacifica a mid-range (at best) generic chain restaurant location that transcended into a cult-hit destination because of its remarkable surrounding waterfront scenery. And while I would not normally mourn the loss of a Chevy's Fresh Mex, it was legit sad when the the Emeryville waterfront Chevy's closed permanently in April 2024."
"The SF Business Times report did identify some, though only two; the waterfront Emeryville location, and another in San Jose at the Almaden Plaza shopping center spot that used to be a Red Lobster. Yes, we know there is a Benihana in San Francisco at Post and Laguna streets. But the new Emeryville Benihana will feature the incomparable waterfront views, plus the chain's revamped interiors."
Benihana will open a location at the former Emeryville Chevy's on the Powell Street dock waterfront. The Emeryville Chevy's closed permanently in April 2024 after being shuttered for more than a year and a half. Benihana plans ten new Bay Area restaurants in coming years, with two disclosed locations: Emeryville and a San Jose site at Almaden Plaza that formerly housed a Red Lobster. The new Emeryville Benihana will highlight waterfront views and the chain's revamped interiors. The Benihana revamp has been well received, notably at the San Mateo location that opened in March. No target opening date has been announced for Emeryville.
