This is exactly what a soba restaurant is. The grind the buckwheat and hand make the noodles here, the tempura is PERFECT, and the vibe is exactly what you'd expect from mixing Oakland and Japan.
Literally the best place in Oakland. Soba with tempura, tamago, soba pate, ice cream, everything was amazing
absolutely delicious soba, and the best tempura i have ever had. super cute space, too.
Try the Spicy Tempura Roll - One of the most amazing rolls I've ever had.
Try the Seasonal Vegetable Tempura - Love the mall especially the okra and Lotus root.
Try the Seasonal Vegetable Tempura - Loved them all especially the okra and lotus.
Tempura mushrooms & chicken teriyaki dish, drizzle the ranch over the chicken and rice too, heaven. Fat, chunky heaven.
The place to go for mushroom Tempura!
Perfect location for post-motorcycle ride in the hills. Niman Ranh meat. Sweet potato fries and chocolate malt super excellent accompaniments. Whole wheat bun is key. Bacon. Avocado.
The tempura and sushi are superb!
Probably the best sushi in Oakland. The fish is well sourced, from Japan and elsewhere. Go omakase, or stick to nigiri and sashimi, and you won't be disappointed.
The spicy tuna roll I ordered was excellent and the quality of the other fish was very good. Low key and simple but great sushi.
The monk fish liver melts in your mouth; better than a fine pate. The salmon belly is so juicy, and tender. But, the conch was my favorite; super fresh; reminding of a sunny beach on the Carribean.
Look on the daily specials board and order up like mad. Many items not found at your average US sushi places.
This place has great food and on top of it all, they have on draft the Blanch De Bruxelles Belgian beer!
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
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
Try the non-pizza options. The Buttermilk Fried Chicken ($18) - served with a fluffy cauliflower puree and escarole - is moist, tender and crispy. Read more.
Cheese curds, goddess salad, three-cheese pizza with pancetta: all delicious! (They are pretty liberal with salt though.)
The barbecue choices are all great. Best Buy is to come for Sunday brunch! Who knew you could do Korean barbecue or something? It's a good deal, the service is great, and the setting is wonderful.
The Best Spicy Pork Bibimbap Ever!
Get the kbbq!
Finally a superb restaurant in Oakland.
This place is so NY. Love it!
Best to go with a bigger group so you can have a taste of all the delicious food.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
