“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” Postponed
Dear Patrons & Friends, It seems there are more lives to the Bay Area Stage Production of Tennessee William’s “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” then the tenacious theatre company had planned on.

Suruki’s Sushi & Teriyaki Grill
Suruki’s is mostly about sushi rolls, nigiri, sashimi, teriyaki, noodle soups & more. It’s a small place, and everything’s made by hand to order. There’s a lot of standard combinations here, like California Rolls & Unagi rolls and nigiri. On weekdays they have specials worth taking advantage of, and I particularly enjoy their Temaki, or
Ruthie’s Caribbean Kitchen
Ruthies Caribbean Kitchen opened in early 2018, offering classic dishes like Jerk Chicken, Plantains, Red Beans and Rice, but also many dishes folks may be less familiar with such as Goat Curry (Caribbean style), Oxtail and juices such as Sorrel, Sour Sop and Sea Moss. On my first visit I opted for Gingerade, which tastes
Pho Saigon Village Noodle House
When I first encountered this cuisine it struck me how much colonial influences (Chinese and French) are represented in Vietnamese cooking. And yet, this Royal Cuisine has its own unmistakable identity. If you are new to it, think in terms of a lot of fresh flavors, heavy use of herbs & seafood, and spice. There
Napoli Pizzeria & Italian Food
Napoli has been around for 50 years, and is a prime example of Old School in a good way. Vallejoans have every right to brag about Napoli, as their Napoli Pizza is right up there with the best thin crust NY Style Pizza you can find in North Beach. The Italian sausage is much better
The Loft Thai Fusion
The Loft Thai Restaurant opened in the Hiddenbrooke neighborhood of Vallejo in 2017. Pad Thai, Papaya Salad, Drunken Noodles, Larb—you’ll see a lot of classic Thai dishes on the menu here, but they won’t be exactly like what you find at traditional Thai restaurants. Don’t let that put you off though, the flavors are bright,
Kaigan Sushi
Kaigan is a long time Vallejo sushi restaurant in East Vallejo on Springs Road. Judging from their reviews in the restaurant, it looks like it’s been around in Vallejo at least 20-30 years. On our recent visit we saw a number of Japanese dishes on their menu and enjoyed a variety of dishes. Poke is
El Tesoro Mazatlan
Standard Mexican selections with an outstanding salsa bar and traditional Mexican entrees. Burritos are very popular here, starting at $6.75, and we’ve also seen folks ordering Carne Asada Fries. On our visit we tried a variety of tacos: all the meats are good, but the Lengua (Tongue) is especially outstanding, slow-cooked for an ample amount
