Get the Shitake Mushrooms on Crostini - they're to die for!
Must try Mac & Cheese, Shiitake mushrooms and their special popcorn crawfish if it's available. Get the house manhattan if you're there for happy hour.
The no-cheese mac and cheese is so good! I also love their bread pudding. Get a cocktail, share some small plates. I stick to the small plates vs. the entrees.
Favorite soondubu in the east bay. Good side dishes and authentic taste!
Ask for a raw egg to put in your tofu soup
If you get a rice dish, leave room for the complimentary stew they'll bring along with your entree.
A hidden gem. Seriously some of the best Thai food I have ever had.
The Tom Ga Kai soup will seduce your soul and rap you in bliss.
Some of the best Thai I've had in the East Bay
This place is amazing! Most legitimately healthy restaurant I've eaten at in the Bay Area. 11/10
The moderate portion is consistently plentiful, flavorful and outright delicious.
Have lunch here if you want to feel great for the rest of the day.
One of my fave outdoor beer gardens in Oakland.
Top spot for pizza in Oakland, outdoor space with fire pits and string lights perfect venue for beers with friends.
The out door sitting area is cheerful and it's a cool place to hang out with family and friends. The pizzas are original and their Veggie pizza is a delight. The decor is welcoming. I do recommend
Try the Spicy Tempura Roll - One of the most amazing rolls I've ever had.
Go to Yoshi's. Eat sushi and watch jazz.
A wonderful Japanese place with great Jazz! -Jonathan Waxman, Top Chef
The California Special with whole wheat crust is awesome.
Best pizza in the neighborhood!! Great, accommodating staff.
For all mushroom fans, the mushroom pizza has a mushroom sauce and is topped with 4 types of mushrooms! Slices are big and they also take half pizza orders. We got 1.5 pizzas for 4 hungry people.
Simply delicious. Great variant on traditional Chinese cuisine
good Chinese restaurant is hard to come by; food here is good, mostly gluten free, free range, they are committed to using organic, sustainable and local ingredients, ask for the house hot sauce #yum
They have grassfed beef AND are happy to modify your dish it you are #paleo , gluten free 👍
All you can eat Korean bbq for $25. Includes various appetizers, ssam platter, and basic meats (bulgolgi, pork belly, brisket, chicken). Kalbi is extra. The marinated pork and bulgolgi are the best.
You will smell like charcoal for days, but at least your tummy will be happy.
BBQ chicken + Spicy Pork + Kimchi Pancakes = Food coma
Honey roasted duck with spinach, pineapple, & cherry tomatoes, it's Noel divine
chicken skewers are a must.
Surprisingly decent cocktail menu. Crab fried rice and the Pad Thai were very good.
yummy vegan food and i'm not even vegan! get the fried green tomatoes and the roulade - mmm...
SF Weekly's Best of Winner 2010 - Reader's Poll - BEST ROMANTIC RESTAURANT
Don't miss their oyster mushroom appetizer!
Everything here is delicious. It's small inside ann cozy.
The pho's broth is fantastic, so use the Sriracha and hoisin sparingly.
Amazing soups and shrimp spring rolls!
Consistently excellent sushi! I have been coming here for 10+ years and I have never been disappointed. #1 fave roll is y2k! Hurricane roll also fantastic. Try them all, you can't go wrong ; )
Get the Betta Roll named after Chase Betta.
Damn good prices for delicious fish and rolls. Check out the specials for unique rolls. Sit at the bar and chat with the sushi masters and they'll throw something together for you.
Bun Ha Noi, Bun Bo Hue and Com Tam Dac Biet - all were awesome!
HANDS DOWN THE #1 best Pho I've ever ever ever experienced. Such a great little hidden local spot. I hope more city folks make the trip out here!
My favorite Pho in Oakland - get the #1 and an iced coffee...
We had the cajun popcorn shrimp - tasty, and shrimp creole over red beans and rice - yummy, enough for my wife and I to share! Nice view of the harbor and upscale traditional nautical decor.
Don't come without a reservation!
Too pricey for the food of an average quality. The view is nice though. Not the best clam chowder soup and swordfish.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
