A new "Chubby Noodle" has registered at 1994 Lombard Street, potentially reviving the popular noodle spot for Bay Area diners who have seen previous locations close.

A new business registration for "Chubby Noodle" at 1994 Lombard Street in San Francisco signals a potential revival for the well-known noodle establishment. The registration, under the entity Np Food Enterprise LLC, lists a DBA start date of February 26, 2026, according to City business records. This new filing comes as Bay Area diners continue to mourn past iterations of the restaurant, with online discussions frequently lamenting "Chubby Noodle RIP."

The original "Chubby Noodle" at 510 Union Street in North Beach, operated by Don Pisto Restaurants LLC, officially closed its doors on April 30, 2025, after several years in operation. Prior to that, another location at 2205 Lombard Street, under Chubby Marina LLC, ceased operations on December 9, 2019, having been open since January 11, 2013. The repeated re-emergence of the "Chubby Noodle" name, despite these previous closures, suggests a resilient brand with a dedicated following.

While the exact operational status beyond the registration is still being confirmed, the 1994 Lombard Street location is listed as operational on at least one delivery platform, Postmates. Details regarding the new establishment's seat count, price point, or the explicit involvement of past operator Pete Mrabe remain unconfirmed. However, the registration indicates a fresh start for the noodle concept in a familiar corridor, potentially filling a void left by its predecessors.
