Amakara To Temporarily Close Just Weeks After Dublin Relocation

DUBLIN, CA — After less than six weeks of being open in its new location, Amakara restaurant in Dublin is temporarily shutting down at the close of business Friday, Sept. 6.

"It is with great disappointment that we announce our temporary closure due to some unforeseen, construction-related issues," Amakara manager Myly Carpio said.

The problem was a procedural issue between Amakara's sub-contractor and the Alameda County Environmental Health Department, according to Carpio, who said Amakara hopes to have it resolved as quickly as possible.

"At this time, we have no further information to share but we are committed to keeping you informed as information becomes available. For future updates, please visit our website at https://www.eatamakara.com/ or check back frequently on our Instagram @eatamakara. We appreciate your patience in this process and look forward to serving you again soon," Carpio said.

The Japanese restaurant has been in business since March of 2008. The eatery just relocated to its current spot — 7568 Dublin Blvd. on the first floor of the Aster residential complex — and celebrated a grand opening Aug. 3.
