Asia Live, a large Asian-focused food hall modeled after Eataly, is scheduled to open June 5 at the Westfield Valley Fair in Santa Clara. The concept connects foods across Asia and emphasizes street food, drawing inspiration from Betelnut. Saluhall in San Francisco has lost its last original vendor, Curry Up Now, leaving Smish Smash and Izzy & Wooks as the remaining food tenants. The central downstairs counter space will become a branch of Oklava Cafe, and a new beverage services company will manage the three bars. North America’s 50 Best Restaurants list updates place Saison at 22, Benu at 33, Atelier Crenn at 44, Sons & Daughters at 45, and SingleThread at 16. Jules enters the New York Times “25 Best Restaurants in San Francisco Right Now,” while International Smoke has closed.
"Asia Live, the grand an ambitious food hall in the mode of Eataly from George Chen of China Live fame, is getting set to open at the Westfield Valley Fair model in Santa Clara next week, on June 5. Chen tells the Chronicle that Asia Live harkens back to his first SF restaurant, Betelnut, in that it connects foods from across Asia and celebrates street food especially."
"Saluhall, the IKEA-adjacent food hall on mid-Market, has slowly added a couple new tenants in recent months, but the last of its original vendors, Curry Up Now, has left the building. As the Chronicle reports, the only two food vendors now operating as Ingka Centres seeks new management are Smish Smash and Filipino sandwich counter Izzy & Wooks but we've recently learned that the central counter space downstairs will soon become a branch of Oklava Cafe, and a new beverage services company has been hired to take over the three bars in the space."
"The latest update of the North America's 50 Best Restaurants list is out, and Saison clocks in at 22, Benu at 33, Atelier Crenn at 44, and Sons & Daughters at 45. And Healdsburg's SingleThread comes in at number 16. Jules, the hit pizza spot in the Lower Haight, just landed on the New York Times' "25 Best Restaurants In San Francisco Right Now," in the latest update of that list."
"Owner and pizzaiolo Max Blachman-Gentile and his staff are celebrating, obviously, as Jules just celebrated its one-year anniversary this week, and as the new NYT listing puts it in the good company of Liholiho Yacht Club, Flour + Water, Four Kings, and Zuni. (And it will also mean that tables will remain hard to get, with a tourist factor added.) International Smoke, the barbecue restaurant opened nine years ago by Ayesha Curry and Michael Mina, has quietly closed."
