"After five years of serving both the UC Berkeley community and local residents, I learned that chef Charles Phan will close his East Bay restaurant Rice & Bones on Friday, May 12; the doors will officially close at 5 p.m. that day because the chef says the “current economic climate” makes maintaining the restaurant increasingly difficult. Fans still have a few more days to stop by for a rice plate with Meyer lemon chicken curry, and I noted Phan debuted a new Rice & Bones menu described as an “ode to rice” in August last year." - Lauren Saria
