Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near North Oakland, Oakland

Claire S. • March 30, 2016Amazing vegetarian/vegan tacos. Two slices of flavorful fried tofu topped with slaw, a medium-spicy salsa, and crema, if you want it non-vegan

Brook S. • March 21, 2017The fried chicken babel is so, so good. They also make latkes during the holidays. Really amazing place.

Gina • March 20, 2010One of my favorite restaurants in O-Town. Alice Waters-trained chef, simple ingredients with complex flavors, amazing pizzas….never had a bad meal here!

Marco L. • April 6, 2014Friendly and warm place. Thin crust pizza disappointing. Definitely go for the deep dish / Chicago style one.

Frances R. • June 4, 2017Good pizza. Great dipping sauces for wings & sides. Try the Tikka Masala sauce!

Nicole G. • August 26, 2017Burmese -- great food, highly recommend the rainbow salad!

Chris T. • August 14, 2014Best ice cream spot in the Bay Area. It's been around for over 100 years and never gets old.

Adrian P. • May 6, 2016Come here for the coffee, stay for the amazing space. The WC Morse building is beautifully restored and a great place to enjoy a coffee. It's an inspiring place to work, especially when it's quiet.

Paul G. • April 14, 2019The chicken tinga taco is literally the best taco I’ve ever had in my life. Also loved the fried huevo taco.

Greg V. • March 2, 2014Pan Fried Sea Bass with creamed Brussels sprouts. Outstanding!

Helen D. • March 18, 2022The tofu is amazing!

Marta T. • May 3, 2016Always a WIN. They're so nice and Mac N Cheese is great. Sriracha one is unbelievable if you like spicy. Not too expensive, but share plates

Ian K. • January 27, 2019One of my top three for ramen in the Bay Area.

Robin D. • January 18, 2013Anything on the special menu is worth it! Also, leftovers make a great hash with some eggs.

Rebecca E. • December 4, 2011Had meat and veg comb. Both were very good. Excellent service.

Brian S. • June 30, 2017Really nice flat iron steak. Cleaner, slightly more refined version of Wood Tavern.

Bridget G. • February 13, 2022The tasting menu was divine - especially with the wine pairing. Favorites included the amouse Bouche, beluga caviar and champagne pairing, cured egg yolk and bread dish, and the pb souffle

The Taste Sheriff • January 15, 2018Finally, proper pasta in the Bay Area. Try the one with duck and orange zest and the risotto. The tartare is overrated. Fantastic food and reasonable prices. Book ahead.

Kelly . • February 26, 2012Most authentic Korean food in the Bay area. The best banchan ever. Must get the flat fish and soon dubu combo for $15.99

Megan Allison • March 13, 2018Adorable, neighborhood-y, kid friendly spot with good burgers, a fried chicken sandwich & decent fries.

Trish C. • March 9, 2021Top notch coffee but don’t miss the housemade scones. Best I’ve had on the west coast.

Amy G. • May 10, 2010#3 mild on the menu: Eritrean chicken, spinach, lentils. Total comfort food.

Steve K. • November 16, 2022Their toro mini hand rolls are 👌

Martha H. • October 7, 2015CRAZY delicious ice cream. Intense, real flavor; incredibly creamy texture. In a word: Yum.

LeVan G. • December 23, 2022Lots of items on the menu couldn't decide so our waitress suggested my dish. Eggs Benedict with maple bacon and asparagus delicious and the fresh raspberry lemonade excellent.

George D. • August 25, 2018Love this spot. Unpretentious and respectable coffee from the Roast Co coffee company in Oakland. Small but always reasonably quick - hope it stays that way.

Tony K. • July 8, 2012I feel I'm back in Paris when I come here for my rustic baguette. It's most delicious at 7:30 AM when they open and great to nibble on walking home. The morning bun is good for days you're on the go.

Jason J. • July 12, 2014Recent offerings were chopped dino kale, pine nuts, and Meyer lemon zest or a sweet corn, caramelized red onions, and cilantro-lime vinaigrette pizza.

Jacqueline L. • September 19, 2022Expect Michelin-dining volume-to-price ratios. 20% tip included. Come here a few minutes before opening to guarantee a seat (max party size 6)

Trish C. • March 10, 2017Beautiful food, huge portions, and super super sweet staff.
