I noticed new signage up at the upcoming jazz club and lounge Impulse Room that we learned would be coming to downtown Walnut Creek. According to their Facebook page “it looks like 2 1/2 weeks of construction and however long it will take to get final inspections.” Find out more about the club and wine/beer bar at their website here. On there it notes an April opening. Stay tuned…
Orchards Shopping Center, Walnut Creek
Last summer we learned that Southern California-based Burger Lounge would be coming to the Orchards shopping center in Walnut Creek and they will be opening the last week of March. Check out their menu here. Grass-fed beef hamburger for $7.99. That seems reasonable, I look forward to trying this place out.

Well, that was fast! Thanks to everyone who sent word that the Korean-Japanese fusion restaurant (and food truck) Koja Kitchen would be opening yesterday in downtown Walnut Creek where Citra Grill used to be. Although the Walnut Creek menu is not available yet check out their other location menus here. Looks great, what are the must-order dishes?
From their website:
What is a KoJa?
KoJa (aka Korean-Japanese) is a special gourmet sandwich infused with a unique combination of Korean & Japanese flavors. To step it up a notch, KoJa Kitchen substitutes the traditional wheat buns with freshly made crispy garlic rice buns.
We take what is best of both cuisines and reinvent them in a way that is fun and delicious to eat for our KoJa Kitchen fans.
2nd Ave. & N. Main St, Walnut Creek
Plans are in the works for In-N-Out Burger to come to the corner of 2nd Ave. and Main St. in Walnut Creek where Devil Mountain Cyclery used to be. According to this East Bay Times article, the development will include a “new Starbucks, and upgrades to an existing building currently housing Masses Sports Bar & Grill and several offices.” In the above photo you can see the Masses Sports Bar building in the background. The article points out that the Starbucks “would have no indoor seating and be accessible through a separate drive-through and walk-up window”.
I look forward to a closer In-N-Out but worry about the additional traffic.
Now that’s a menu I can appreciate. Look at that crust! Spotted outside Slice House in downtown Walnut Creek.

How does this compare to Kevin’s Noodle House a few blocks away?
