“Great food. Nice staff. Very clean 🧼”

“All I gotta say is the younger guy Luis with the glasses and short curly hair has 100% customer service, went there today with a long line and was short one of my drinks, usually the rude girl there gives attitude and says you gotta go around and wait again. Left happy as hell that I got my drinks and customer service!”

“Definitely Best Tacos in Town! 🔥🍻🤤”

“My daughter took me and the hubby here for our Thanksgiving celebration since she couldn't come home (Sac) for actual Thanksgiving, we went to her. This was a night I won't soon forget! Having a nice meal with our daughter was a treat, the service was amazing and the food....OMG! Every bite of every dish I tasted was so so delicious! I can't get the butternut soup out of my head it was THAT good! We all ordered different food & shared bites with one another. This night was so enjoyable! Thank you, Sis & Thank you Mama Oakland!”

“This place is a hidden gem! It has a small semi-shaded patio with water fountain and gorgeous greenery....bougainvillea and all sorts of large cactus plants. The indoors is very cozy yet elegant. They serve a wide variety of colourful, delicious meals. We enjoy being off the main thoroughfare and tucked away here. The service has always been very friendly and welcoming .”

“I loved everything about this place. The food was just the right amount and so creative.”

“We were gifted our first ever Bake Sum box. After trying just one bite of a Yuzu meringue bun I knew I needed more. Ordered our second BSB last week and shared amongst the roomies, huge hit. Well baked, not too sweet, great flavor combinations. 10/10 would recommend the Bake Sum box. If you can’t grab a box, you can grab al a cart day of pick ups just to tide you over until you can get a box 😋”

“Best Indian Restaurant in Hayward. Food is so delicious and taste amazing. We tried Briyani, Garlic Naan, Noodles, MoMo(Dumplings), butter chicken and everything was amazingly delicious.”

“Always an interesting experience and fun treat. Classic cocktails in a classic atmosphere. Service is on point! Food is innovative yet still comforting and familiar. Never disappointed.”

“I really loved the Lao Special menu. You can order small portion of diverse foods. I ordered several items I have never eaten before, and they were all fantastic. The fermented pork sausage was the most "out there" dish from an American point of view: I didn't even know such a thing existed. Nice interior, and the service is great. This is some of the best Laotian food I've tried in the Bay. It turns out the portions are pretty generous, so I took soke home for another meal.”

“I never leave reviews for spots but this place is such an underhyped gem of Alameda. The chicken is amazing and juicy, their slaw is perfectly crunchy and acidic, and their fries are fried to perfection. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS SPOT!!!! One thing to note is that this is a to go resturaunt but thats not a problem just go to a nearby park and enjoy your delicious food!!”

“This place is amazing! We have been coming here for about a year and a half and hands-down, hardy portions, high-quality food, and the atmosphere is always clean and beautiful. The food though, is so outstanding do yourself a favor and check this place out.”

“The food here is absolutely amazing. Best Ethiopian overall ive ever had. Their collard greens and green lentil dish are both seriously the best ive ever had for those dishes in Ethiopian cuisine. Everything else is still show stopping. When we first went here, there was a dish with red sauce and I wasn't a huge fan - but i also am personally not a dark meaty-taste sauce person, and all the dishes here have otherwise been amazing. Even the sambusas are great! They could use a little more variety, maybe served with the green lentil dish as a side even or with a sauce- but even by themselves are amazing. Long story short, Desta is a must visit!”

“Loved our lunch today ! Bison stew with fry bread and bison meatballs. Hibiscus tea was awesome. Staff was so incredible. Busy and very full today. Great atmosphere.”

“The food was good but a little overpriced.
We had the pork carnitas they were well done cooked, the fish tacos were humongous and we add an extra one for $6 , they were ok. The chips salsa and guacamole were very tasty and delicious (highly recommended), for cocktails we had the Tepache con Tiki and a Vampiro, we were not impressed, I think they still need to work on their cocktails. We also had the Pot De Creme for dessert and it was very tasty
We will definitely go back to try a couple of dishes and other drinks”

“Everything has been awesome: delicious food, great service and pleasant atmosphere. We had a great dinner here, thank you!
P/S: Good luck to find a parking spot.”

“to be Black, supa queer in this hood, this space is appreciated! to be able to pull up for a latte, donut, breakfast sando or a fancy cocktail WITH my spouse, and kid in tow- always feels welcoming.
did i mention the coffee is fire?”

“My friend and I were able to get in on a Friday night, and I felt the experience was very good. The service was prompt and the ambiance was definitely classy and East Bay. I think the tables were slightly close to each other, creating an intimate environment but also easier to hear others talk. I was not super impressed with the food, but I think this is personal and my experience is not universal.”

“Have been here a few times to grab takeout. They're very friendly and the place is cozy. The food tastes great and the portions are huge. It's like buying two meals worth of pasta.”

“The food was great, the service was excellent, I was very satisfied”

“Hard to reserve seats at this 8 seat only Omakase behind an unmarked door in Alameda. Led by a quality, experience, and diner education obsessed chef who personally selects and imports most of the seafood from Japan.

It is a personally catered omakase bar service of very high quality. They also have a lovely sake selection.

Pricey, but worth it.”

“I love Mediterranean food, and sorely missed the Armenian Gourmet in Sunnyvale when Aram retired. However, Tio's has fulfilled my expectations for delicious food at a great price. I never liked falafal until I ate it at Tio's where it is moist and flavorful, compared to other restaurants where it is as dry as cardboard. I love the lamb and vegetarian sampler. The staff is friendly, helpful and remembers us by name. I have always been very happy with my whole experience there.”

“Good Burritos and good service”

“Great food!”

“Mohkha House is a delicious, lowkey coffee house with various vegan options. In terms of which plant based milks they carry, they currently carry: Oat, Almond, and Soy milk. I believe there is a 50 cent upcharge for choosing any of the plant based milks but well worth it to expand your options on the menu. In regard to their pastries, they have a few savory vegan pastries along with plenty of sweet gluten free / vegan cheesecakes or vegan chocolate cakes. The standout was certainly the savory chocolate chip cookie with sesame seeds. The space is very spacious and welcoming as there are plenty of places to relax on a couch with your food and work on your laptop/notebooks simultaneously. They close at 9:30pm every day too which a major plus considering most coffee houses are closed after 5 or 6pm.”

“first time visit, lunch. NOT crowded, therefore, noise level very low, so could converse without having to lip read. Great variety on menu, excellent service, good selection of wines. Give it a try.”

“The food is good !! Love it 😍”
