Opa! restaurant group files for bankruptcy as company shuts its sites

SAN JOSE — Opa! Restaurant Group has filed to liquidate its assets in a move that would trigger a shutdown of all of the chain’s remaining restaurants in the South Bay, according to several bankruptcy court filings.

The Opa! dining company filed for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, seeking a court-supervised liquidation of its assets, documents filed Sept. 19 with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court show.

The restaurants that filed for Chapter 7 — Campbell, Morgan Hill and Santa Clara — appear to have shuttered. In addition, Opa Signature Foods also filed to liquidate its assets through a bankruptcy proceeding.

In early 2025, Opa! closed its Willow Glen restaurant without warning.

The Opa! group’s long run began in 2008 that San Jose neighborhood, with a smaller restaurant on Lincoln Avenue that regularly drew crowds for its comfort menu of Greek lamb chops, skewers, flatbreads, salads, dips and appetizers.
