"Emeryville may have lost Peruvian joint Las Brasas over the summer, but it wasn't long before the void was filled by a new Peruvian restaurant, El Huarique De Juancito, now open in Las Brasas' old spot on San Pablo Ave. The menu features a diverse mix of Peruvian specialties, from breakfast favorites like tamales and pan con chicharron to dinner items including pollo a la brasa and lomo saltado. Peruvian seafood hits like leche de tigre and ceviches are also on offer."
"Sakana and Yasai has opened in what was formerly Sugata, a family-owned Japanese spot that had been in Albany for nearly 45 years. This is the second Sakana restaurant (the original location is in Kensington). Sushi, sashimi and nigiri all make menu appearances alongside several vegetarian options, but what sets Sakana apart is the use of purple rice (a fiber-rich blend of black and white rice) instead of standard sushi rice in every dish. Sakana and Yasai, 1105 Solano Ave. (at San Pablo Ave.), Albany"
"After a 2019 appearance on Shark Tank and a deal with Mark Cuban, the dessert shop expanded and the California franchise location has now arrived in Berkeley. The grand opening is Sept. 5, and there is a whole weekend of specials and celebrations planned, including free edible cookie dough scoops all weekend. The festivities also include a buil-your-own shake contest, in which the winner will have their creation featured on the shop's secret menu."
El Huarique De Juancito opened at 4336 San Pablo Ave. in Emeryville, occupying Las Brasas' former location and offering Peruvian dishes from tamales and pan con chicharron to pollo a la brasa, lomo saltado, leche de tigre and ceviches.
