"Souley Vegan has returned after a two-year closure, this time in a new Jack London space. The plant-based soul food menu includes Creole cheddar mac, jambalaya arancini, and fried “chikn” tenders and sandwiches." - Julia Chen
"Chef Tamearra Dyson is returning to Oakland after the original restaurant closed a little over a year ago following 14 years in business, reopening at the former home of the Port at 101 Broadway in Jack London Square. For now she’s using the location as an events space — the brand’s Instagram shows off the beautifully decorated venue for a Valentine’s Day event — with plans to open fully as a restaurant the first week of April. To prepare the new space, Dyson announced the closure of her Martinez location inside the Market & Main food hall on January 1. The Jack London Square site will give her room to serve her special brand of vegan soul food with dinners Thursday through the weekend plus R&B brunch, and the two kitchens will allow her to "support up-and-coming chefs, rent the space to caterers, hold pop-ups, and use the additional kitchen for her upcoming meal prep line," according to Tablehopper." - Dianne de Guzman
"Souley Vegan is finally back, this time opening shop in the town of Martinez after the Oakland location closed down back in October 2023. Go big with the okra gumbo or jambalaya, or go for something quick, such as the Country Fried Chik’n or the Nashville Hot Lions Mane sliders. It’s now part of an indoor food hall and nearby bars can help round out the meal." - Dianne de Guzman
"Fans were devastated when Souley Vegan was announced to close in October 2023." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Souley Vegan will reopen at a Martinez food hall in April. The restaurant, previously located at 301 Broadway in Oakland, closed after 14 years in October 2023. Tamearra Dyson, the owner, announced plans to reopen elsewhere, and now the restaurant will be moving to Martinez food hall Market & Main." - Dianne de Guzman
