SILVERTONAPPEAL.COM | WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2022 | 3B GETTY IMAGES 4 NEW RESTAURANTS and the return of an old favorite Em Chan Salem Statesman Journal | USA TODAY NETWORK Just over a month into 2022, Salem’s food scene is already buzzing with activity, from restaurant openings and reopenings to expan- sions. Against the odds of the pandemic, here’s the latest. Miyoko Buffet The highly anticipated Japanese buffet next to El Torito Supermarket on Lancaster Drive North- east is finally open. For the past six months, own- ers Mei Chan and Wei Zheng were waiting to open but had to push the date back due to equip- ment delays and issues with getting set up inside. Miyoko is Chan and Zheng's second family af- fair, as both have owned — and still run — Corval- lis' New China Buffet for the past 17 years. Though folks online have expressed concern about a buffet opening during the pandemic, "we've found people are still coming out and want to eat," Justin Yang, Chan's son, said. The buffet offers sushi, Mongolian grill and some Chinese food. It opened Feb. 4 to a roaring recep- tion. Lunch buffet is $12.99 per adult, and available 11 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. Monday through Fri- day, dinner buffet is $16.99 per adult and of- fered 3:30-9:30 p.m. Monday through Thurs- day and on Fridays until 10 p.m. Weekend buffet is $18.99 per adult and goes from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Seniors and children have reduced pricing. For to-go orders or reservations, call 971-599-5167. Address: 636 Lancas- ter Dr. NE. REOPENING The Chubby Bean The Chubby Bean, a coffee and breakfast plus Mexican food drive-thru stand on Portland Road, has reopened after tem- porarily closing in Au- gust\. The Chubby Bean offers a full range of espresso drinks, energy drinks and smoothies plus breakfast sand- wiches, breakfast bur- ritos and bagels. The menu will be ex- panding in the coming weeks, with daily spe- cials detailed on their Facebook page. Operat- ing hours are 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Address: 3545 Port- land Road NE. The Shaka Brah Grilled Cheese When the Shaka Brah food truck first opened in 2019, grilled cheese and shaved ice were the staples on the menu. Shortly after, the Hawaiian food truck pivoted to primarily sell Hawaiian foods like shoyu chicken, kalua pig, ono short ribs, spam musubi with macaroni salad and rice, along with shaved ice. Owner Jake Doan said since the truck at Divine Distillers is no longer operating, he's turned it into a dedicat- ed grilled cheese and hotdog/Polish sausage truck. Parked at Shades of Brew Taphouse, the new truck will officially open Feb. 17. For those who still want Shaka Brah's Hawaiian foods, fear not — that cart is parked to its left. Hours for both trucks are noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. For more info, check out their Facebook page. Address: 4743 Lan- caster Dr. NE.
