## Resource

Three beloved Oakland eateries are calling it quits—Baba’s House, Pagarung Thai, and Samurai Sushi Boat—each leaving behind decades of flavor, loyal customers, and unforgettable memories. Baba’s House is shutting down its physical spot in September 2026 but plans pop-ups to stay connected. Pagarung Thai, a 20-year staple in Montclair Village, is closing after inconsistent hours since the pandemic; a new restaurant takes over in October. Samurai Sushi Boat, owned by the iconic “Mama-San and Papa-San,” ends its 21-year run on August 28th with heartfelt thanks. These closures mark the end of an era for Oakland’s dining scene, even as Baba’s House vows to keep the spirit alive.
