Try kitfo (spiced minced beef cooked in clarified butter), spicy misir wot (lentils simmered in berbere sauce) and atakilt wot (cabbage, potato, and carrot stew with turmeric)
Unlimited injera!
My ideal meal: paratha + dip, tea leaf salad, spicy tofu, chicken with basil (ask for minced chicken). Will blow your mind. Whiskey cocktails are all good as are the mojitos.
tea leaf salad and coconut rice. 👌🏼 awesome for group of friends.
Try the tea leaf salad. Also try the samusa soup.
Yessemer wot is da bomb! (lentils in spicy red sauce)
Try honey wine, it's awesome!!
Fasolia and tofu tibs are the perfect vegan combo.
Family style spring rolls were really tasty and were a great portion. Managed to share between 3+ people. Kid's pho for $5 is also a great deal and kind of large.
Yum… Authentic vietnamese food. Order the Seven Course Beef for 2 people.. It's enough food for four. Clay pot catfish is super tasty too..
Best Vietnamese in Oakland
The service was wonderful and the food even better. I'm a carnivore and had some of the vegetarian options. I was impressed. The honey mead was wonderful!
Expectations of this place were far out from what I thought it was going to be. Free injera refill. Dude. Seriously. Do yourself a favor and order veggie and/or meat combo and a bottle of tej.
Get the meat and vegetable combo and share. And the homemade tej (honey wine). Excellent! Great space and great service.
The Sichuan Dry Fried Prawns are amazing - fresh, spicy, gingery, garlicky, orangey. Delicious.
The margaritas are uncharacteristically good.
Tasty sushis and rolls 😍
Nam Kaow( Fried rice ball salad) is the best. Lao sausage and Larp
Consistently horrible service. Nice kids, but they do not know how to run a restaurant. You'll fight through it for the amazing food though.
Hella slow service
BBQ Chicken Banh Mi sandwich is slammin'!
Love their sandwiches - multiple locations, but parking is much easier than their downtown Oakland location
Cheap delicious banh mi!
Love the corn cakes and turnip appetizers. Pad see ew -- so good!!
chicken skewers are a must.
Surprisingly decent cocktail menu. Crab fried rice and the Pad Thai were very good.
Love the samon scramble not sure about the half avocado for three days
Realize breakfast sandwiches are made to order. Call ahead if you don't have time to wait.
A locals joint. Strong prosciutto breakfast sandwich. Good coffee.
Sizzling Chicken in Black Bean Sauce is superb as well as their Beef Chow Fun with Gravy...best Chinese food in Oakland.
Ask for the 3 item menu, 3items for $18
Beef curry - nice pieces of beef with lots of tendon!
They've moved next door and to a bigger space!
Best bubble tea around, and if you stop by before 6pm it's only $1.65!!! You can't beat that price anywhere in the Oakland area.
Delicious food. Try their specials!
Make reservations for large group! Lunch was delicious, but pho was a bit pricey for being near Chinatown. Around $10-$12
Beef pho hit the spot. Ask for extra chili oil.
The French Burger is divine - A crispy baguette surrounds a juicy beef burger with a mountain of bacon and crumbly blue cheese. Easily the best burger on their menu!
Hickory Burger and Curly Fries
You're losing people on bad service! Step it up Barney's, your great food should be complemented with great and prompt service.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
