The busy Pacific Pearl Shopping Center in Pleasanton has announced four new additions to its popular Asian strip mall.
Well-known Taiwanese boba tea outlet Chicha San Chen and Japanese crepe specialist Eight Turn Crepe plan to open this summer or fall in the shopping center near the San Francisco Premium Outlets. Yogurtland and HiroNori Craft Ramen have also signed leases for storefront locations.
Chicha San Chen, which makes freshly brewed tea, milk tea, and fruit tea, is prepping to open its store in late August. This latest outlet joins a list of locations that includes Berkeley, Cupertino, Daly City, Fremont, and San Jose.

New York-based Eight Turn Crepe makes crepes with gluten-free rice flour. Customers can choose from sweet or savory ingredients, which are rolled and served in a handheld cone. Scheduled to open in late September or early October, this will be the chain’s first store in Northern California.
Self-serve frozen yogurt chain Yogurtland, which lets customers customize their desserts with assorted toppings, has multiple outlets throughout the Bay Area. The company has not yet announced an official opening date.
HiroNori Craft Ramen, which serves rich bone broths and house-made noodles, holds a Bib Gourmand designation from the Michelin Guide for multi-course meals at reasonable prices. Its other locations are in Cupertino, Fremont, San Mateo, and Santa Clara. The restaurant has also not announced an opening date.
The Pacific Pearl Shopping Center features about two dozen retail and commercial spaces and is anchored by a 99 Ranch Market grocery store.
