3501 Clayton Rd, Concord
A new traditional Japanese restaurant called Izakaya An opened recently in the same small strip mall where Concord Tap House on Clayton Rd. in Concord is. Check out their tempura, grilled fish and kobachi menu here, hot pot, and noodle menu here, and ochazuke and dessert menu here. As someone who lived in Japan for several years in the 90’s this place reminds me most closely to the cozy izakayas I encountered over there. Even the music playing here is from the 80s/90s. I definitely want to try this place out soon!
From their Yelp page:
Authentic Japanese Izakaya An, is clean and cozy at-home-like atomosphere gives you relaxed vibe where you can come enjoy yourself or with friends and family. We are specialized in kobachi (small homestyle dish) to compliment Japanese Sake and beer as well as charcoal grilled Yakitori, tempura, ochazuke and noodles.

Say it ain’t so! Half Price Books is closing this Sunday, May 5th in Concord. Don’t miss the reception and hopefully they’ll reopen somewhere else in Concord…
From a PR:
We are still hopeful we’ll find a new location in the area, but it won’t be before we close in Downtown Concord this Sunday, May 5.
As we prepare to close our doors, we would like to take the time to thank our Concord community for the overwhelming support they’ve shown during this transition. We’ll host a special send-off reception at the store on Sunday, May 5, from 3 to 6 p.m. We hope people will stop by to share their favorite HPB Concord memories with the staff and fellow booklovers.
The Veranda, Concord

Check out their menu here. There will be, “over 100 American-style dishes made from scratch daily, and the world’s largest selection of draft beer with 130 taps”.
Shops at Todos Santos, Concord

As you can see from the above photo the Barnes & Noble signage is up at the Veranda shopping center in Concord. Although the property manager mentioned a scheduled April opening this month, when I looked inside they’re still working on the flooring and it’s completely empty inside so they’re going to have to hurry up to get this open this month. With Yard House restaurant opening at the end of the month I shudder to thinking about the parking situation in this area…

The Ramen 101 “coming soon” signage is up at the Shops at Todos Santos plaza in Concord. Check out their menu here.

1965 Mount Diablo St, Concord
As Bangkok Kitchen closed last month, so too, does Woung Luang around the corner this month probably due to the the Shops at Todos Santos sale a couple of years ago in Concord resulting in Half Price Books leaving as well.

Last fall we learned that the Korean bbq place in a cup, Ko Cups would be opening in the Veranda shopping center in Concord and they will be officially opening this Saturday, March 16th. On that opening day they, “will offer a free regular fountain beverage on March 16 with every entrée cup purchase.”
From a PR:
From the start, their goal has been to make tasty yet reasonably priced Korean food, served in a bowl. Each Ko-Cup starts off with a base of rice, crispy lettuce, japchae noodles and a protein selection. Next comes a topping of extra-sweet corn, slices of sweet pickled yellow radish and black sesame seeds. The final touch is a choice of several homemade sauces, such as mayo-mustard, mayo-gochujang (hot pepper) and hot gochujang.
