Newark Restaurant Labeled One Of The East Bay's Best New Eateries

NEWARK, CA — Eater San Francisco periodically comes up with lists of noteworthy restaurants in the East Bay, and last month published, "16 New Restaurants to Try in the East Bay." Rolling Snack of Newark made the list.

Eater SF calls Rolling Snack "real-deal Sichuan-style street food."

The restaurant is in a strip mall adjacent to the Newark 99 Ranch. Eater SF was enthusiastic about "various meat parts either braised in a numbingly spicy master stock (e.g. pig ears, duck heads, and bone-in pork shanks) or fried on a skewer and dusted with a ton of hot spice. Vegetable skewer options are plentiful, too, and at $.60 or $.70 a pop (for the skewers), it’s pretty hard to go wrong.

"And for takeout diners looking for a more substantial entree, the spicy stir-fried frog legs appear to be the restaurant’s showpiece dish."

You'll find Rolling Snack at 35201 Newark Blvd., Suite F. Their phone number is 510-896-8111.

The San Francisco publication noted that even though some restaurants closed permanently during the pandemic, "New restaurants have continued to open, many of them tailored for this particular moment, with takeout-friendly menus and spacious patios. The East Bay, in particular, has seen an influx of exciting new restaurants — mostly unfussy, relatively affordable places that show off the breadth and depth of the region’s varied cuisines."

The majority of highlighted restaurants are in Oakland and Berkeley, but in addition to Rolling Snack, restaurants in Castro Valley, Hayward, and Union City all received recognition.
