And amazing food . . And yes, amazing cocktails!! Down to the last finishing touches ! We will definitely be back !”

“Definitely Best Tacos in Town! 🔥🍻🤤”

“Parche is a beautiful East Bay gem. Flavorful, unique, stunning, family style dishes. I'm still dreaming about the food I had there and the cocktails are incredible!”

“This place never disappoints! So good”

“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 has got to be one of the most underrated restaurants in the Bay if not the state, actually the country! Global dishes with an innovative touch and soulful take. And the owner/chef is a super cool dude. I am recommending this spot to all my foodie friends ;)”

“Great food and if you like hot, they’ve got it!”

“Short wait on a Friday night for 7 of us. Really small place but the wait staff and owner very friendly and everyone was very happy with their meal. If I lived here I would go back.”

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

“Came in for brunch and had the foul here...was BOMB!! As an Eritrean who did not normally care for foul I have had my mind changed completely after eating here. Go support this local family business. Good vibes good food and good people 👌🏾😋”

“What a great experience, the handrolls were innovative and delicious. Our server was very kind and attentive as was the rest of the staff. Definitely will be back!”

“Its hard to find a good jianbing in the bay but this little shop in chinatown hits the spot. Its a hole in a wall shop so the only seating you will find is the bench they set up near their shop. Its a nice grab and go place with friendly staff”

“The tamales are so good!!”

“Truly tasty! We got the jerk chicken wings and the flavor and spice level was perfection. Service was friendly and relaxed. Can’t wait to go back and try more!”

“Date night with my wife and had a wonderful experience. Loved the decor and the vibe. Felt like we had a taste of the French experience without leaving Oakland. The wine was fabulous as was the service and attention to detail. Highly recommend the cheese plate! Will visit again and often for date nights.”

“Been here numerous times. Mainly for an after work cocktail. Occasionally a weekend coffee. They are consistently great. The Chica Fresca with Mezcal 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾”

“Yeah this place is super fun. As far as oyster bars in the east bay I can’t think of a better spot. The decor is super cool sweet mix of modern meets east coast fishing house. The service was great and the oysters tasted great. When I come back I think I’ll try the fish and chips. The couple next to us got them and I was super jealous. The wine selection is also really good, small but it has 3 options for every type, what else do you need???

I’ve been here a couple of times now and will totally be coming back.”

“Probably the best meal I’ve ever had, super fun, exciting, every bite was perfect. Intimate and fast process”

“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.”

“I thought this would be a dime a dozen dive bar type spot, but thankfully I was wrong. It was pretty poppin for a Monday evening, but not enough to where it was overwhelming. The trees are fantastic, and the cocktails were actually good! We even got a nifty NA cocktail as a nightcap. I'll be coming back next time I'm in the area.”

“This place is fantastic. Consistently delicious with thoughtful daily specials. My partner is on a special no dairy or alium diet and they always come up with something delicious for him. Service is excellent as well.”

“Thank God finally a decent restaurant on mandala pkwy. Thin crust pizzas fresh ingredients 2 types only 1 all meat or 1 margarhita..micro brewed beer. Limited menu but very well made. Stark atmosphere environment dinning right on the kitchen line ...eat In or take out ...this restaurant should become the hottest new fad in up to date dining..”

“Tacos Oscar is such a cool little spot — laid-back vibe, friendly staff, and seriously good tacos. Everything tastes super fresh, with creative toppings and bold flavors. It’s the kind of place you stop by for a quick bite and end up hanging out longer than you planned. Simple, tasty, and totally worth it.”

“It is close to Ashby Bart Station. They have all kinds of sweets and drinks too. I like the decorations too.”

“How cool that this Oakland gem has adapted during the pandemic! All of the delicious drinks and all kinds of new menu items all for take-out in...wait for it...compostable containers...even the bottles the drinks come in! Please support this sustainability-minded, amazing and delicious restaurant. They have a few outdoor tables, too. Go. Go now!”

“Spent my 42nd birthday here by my self. The atmosphere is amazing. The walls are covered from floor to ceiling in knick knacks that will keep your eyes searching the walls for a long time. The Bartender (Shy) was AMAZING. Kind, sweet and patient. Thanks for a fun birthday!”

“This place is really good. Great quality of food. Very good flavor. Good atmosphere. I love it! On top of that, everyone is always very friendly. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent food, wonderful friendly service”

“Los tacos muy ricos y las salsas muy ricas también”

“I visited Sirene on 4 occasions during my last visit to Oakland (only 48hours!) Each time was great in its own right. From excellent specialty coffee and breakfast/lunch fare, with a mix of self service made easy and convivial. At dinner gets even better - exotic and exquisite food and wine (what a list! Even by glass), well portioned and presented, all paired up with excellent service from David - guiding you from food through wine and sequencing it all for ultimate delight. A piano which a patron played on during my last lunch made it all the more memorable. A must try neighbourhood gem!”

“An astonishing 18-course omakase, expertly prepared, sourced in the finest sushi chef tradition of impeccable quality.
Warm and comfortable welcome with a happy-to-share chef who told us stories about his choices in making what has to be one of the finest Japanese experiences stateside.
Tiny space, superbly arranged.

I cannot recommend it enough. Not cheap but value for money if you struggle to “have something you’ve never had anywhere else” (and don’t want the 9+ hour Tokyo flight).”

“Outstanding restaurant, we have dined at Wood Tavern more times than I can recollect . We we rather disappointed recently when we called to make reservations for 4 for lunch on 2/25/2022 and were informed they only take reservations for 5 or more. Is this true ? If so they should so state on their web site.”

“Enjoy the atmosphere and the tasty food !”

“Some of the most high-quality and innovative cocktails I’ve seen in the bay. Service in general was great. William is brilliant, friendly, and not shy about nerding out with guests about his cocktails and spirits. He made the experience one to remember, and one to hopefully repeat soon. Thank you.”

“Good food, but expensive for what it is. Very authentic and has a similar flavor profile as some of the noodle places I've had in Japan. I ordered the duck soba and the soup was quite bitter and medicinal. I can see why some people like it but personally not for me.”

“good drinks, good food, friendly service, outdoor dining, i'll be back”

“They're always so nice to me here! Mama loves the craft cocktails and the book curations. We live nearby so it's a favorite neighborhood hang, and we appreciate all the thought that went into the menus.”

“Tummy comfort food in great post-industrial space. Friendly service, craft cocktails. Good menu options and specials. Outdoor tables also available.”

“Cool, versatile spot — serve wine, tea & coffee so perfect Friday spot ;-) Sometimes get a bit loud if you’re really trying to focus on work.

They even carry Blue Willow tea, a quality, local brand based in Berkeley. Check out their stuff.”

“Cute spot for a first date. Solid food, great staff and a mind numbing amount of beers on tap. The staff playlists are definitive deep cuts and current favorites.”

“Hella good pizza. great theme”

“Great bar and good food trucks out front”

“😀First visit here after years of walking past it. The veggie combo and meat combo platters were among the best I've had at Berkeley and Oakland's many great Ethiopian restaurants. Service was very fast and friendly and outdoor back-patio was peaceful. I will be back soon and often.”

“Such a lovely addition to our neighborhood. Elevated Cal/Asian (Is that a thing?) food that changes with the seasons. Great beverage program as well. Second visit didn't disappoint!!”

“when I'm not in the mood to cook the first thing I think about is going to them.”

“Dear Jack,

I didn’t expect to fall in love at 2 a.m., but here we are. Oakland Jack-in-the-Box, you’ve stolen my heart (and my appetite). That’s real love.

The spicy chicken sandwich meal (fries not pictured because I ate them in the car), a Minute Maid, and a seven-piece jalapeño popper… honestly, this felt less like fast food and more like the Last Supper. If Jesus had served jalapeño poppers that night, I don’t think anyone would’ve doubted him.

Your Good Good sauce was everything its name promised, your taco sauce a quiet but steady companion—like you, Jack. Dependable. Comforting. Slightly mysterious under that giant round head.

Jack, don’t ever change.💋

Forever yours,
A loyal customer ❤️”

“came an hourish before closing and the cashiers at the drive thru were very sweet and attentive!!! shoutout to them during the busy holiday season; i hope they get paid well!!!!”

“Fast service. All I can add. Got the mini meal something fast to get back to work. Although two lines were in drive through, they have to that go into one, they seemed to knock that out fast. Everything is ok. It.mcdonalds so up to mcd standards at least at drive thru”

“Amazing services and the food was cooked to perfection �”

“Was heading home Sunday night 10/05/2025. Around 10ish pm. Drive through typical wait. Ordered 2 orders of the monster Tacos. Get to the window waited roughly 7 - 8 minutes for my order. The young lady comes to the window and says you ordered the tacos. I said yes she says 1 moment. 5 minutes later she comes back with the order. She asked if I wanted sauce I told her yes. She hands me the bag and says on 2 taco sauce left.my response was really ?. I get home after a log day open the bag and I only have 1 order of tacos. She didnt give me a receipt and it was to late to go back and wait in line again because I had to get to at 3:45am. At this time im really hotter than fish grease. I couldn't go back the next day because I had a meeting at my secondary job. Very disappointed 😞. Forgot to mention end result paid $10.24 for 2 monster tacos and a large soda. Monster tacos were on special $3.00 for 2 monster tacos.went to the restaurant today. Talk to manager whe made everything right. Very pleased!!!
.”

“There's no public bathroom and the lobby is not open to the public anymore. However, you can order inside the small lobby area using the electronic menus or use the double drive through. Service is quick at either spot and food is usually fresh. I had a McChicken and fries. They also have the icee machine at that location.The staff is cool and accommodating.”

“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 😋”

“the place is very nice plus the view across the street is like a gigantic mirror ! you should see it for yourself !!! it really is something to look at while having your coffee.... it is spectacular !!!! and of course, the staff were super sweet !”

“Vientiane Café is a solid spot for flavorful Laotian cuisine. The dishes are fresh, well-seasoned, and generous in portion. The service is friendly, though it can be a bit slow during busy hours. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a great choice for a relaxed meal with friends or family.”

“This takeout only spot has the MOST affordable and FRESH sashimi and sushi in the entire Bay!! The omakase box features fresh pieces of salmon, tuna, fatty tuna, roe, and scallop for $16.99. Zero fishiness at all. But my favorite is actually the seared salmon—omg it literally melts in your mouth 👌🏻👌🏻 The California roll uses actual snow crab and all their other rolls are good too. Only thing is they don’t open on weekends but they have a location in SF now. Highly recommend!”

“Super fun, creative rotating menu and friendly baristas. Kind of a literal hole in the wall, but there's reasonable outdoor seating. Definitely worth the occasional trip if you're seeking coffee in Oakland!”

“We wanted to try some mooncakes and decided to get a variety of items for Sunday brunch. No parking but we knew that. The lady was helpful once she figured out we were doing a brunch.

The mooncakes were mostly new flavors (e..g. lotus seed)for us. Sweet and extremely dense, think plutonium. Perhaps an acquired taste.

Pork buns were very good, also coconut and pineapple pastries. The curry beef bun was a standout. Nice alternative to usual brunch. Well worth coming back.”

“The food is good !! Love it 😍”

“Amazing buttery, crispy, and delicious roti for both savory and sweet dishes!

Highly recommend for vegetarians, and the lassis are extremely good too!”

“Great food and staff Best Irish bar in Oakland”

“Such a rad spot, fun vibe, engaging staff, and an insane variety of yummy beer. Definitely a must.”

“A put bull was allowed to attack our dog tonight, they were sitting at the bar by the door. Our dog is well-behaved and well-trained and was attacked walking out of the restaurant. I appreciate places being dog friendly but plz be safe. The food and drinks are great but this ruined the evening.”

“The selection of ciders and natural wines by the glass or flight here is unbeatable. We live close by and find ourselves visiting to grab a glass per person often. Vibes are so chill. We also love their olives!! Outdoor area dog friendly.”

“Such a refreshing and delicious lunch spot! The set comes with different fresh and pickled dishes made daily using seasonal ingredients, including fresh tofu. Acorn noodle was really flavorful too. Since it is plant forward meal and portion is just right, I always feel good and satisfied afterwards, and not heavy.”

“Wonderful hospitality and warmth coming from the Host Ty Do letting me know more about the Cambodian culture. And BIG Wow on the Sea Food dish: 637. SALMON IN GARLIC BASIL WINE SAUCE : Poached salmon topped w/ roasted garlic, basil, & black mushroom in reduced wine sauce. It's divine! It's my new hot restaurant spot in The Little Town of Alameda.”

“The chai and Danish at Mohka House are absolutely incredible. It’s not even just about how blessed we are to have this kind of authentic cultural influence right here in Oakland—it’s the kind of spot where the customer service makes the experience just as special. The staff are down-to-earth and genuinely family-friendly, the kind of people who make you feel at home the moment you walk in.

If you haven’t been yet, you’re truly missing out on one of the most special places you can treat yourself or bring a loved one. A real gem💎”

“Great bread and croissants at this bakery. The croissants have a combination of lamination and texture that is hard to do, as well as a great flavor. The sourdough bread is delicious and a big loaf too. You can get coffee, and sit inside or outside; the seating area is small but nice.”

“We were looking for a taco place with my sister and we found this place. It is very clean and very friendly. It is so delicious, especially the tacos al pastor and the burritos are super large. I recommend them”

“I don’t know how anyone gives this bad reviews, it’s so good! I was skeptical about no lactose ice cream but the flavors were rich without being too sweet. Cookie dough flavor was my favorite.”

“Friendly staff ! Delicious icecream - we accidentally dropped our icecream as we were walking out and the staff didn’t hesitate to replace 💕❤️🍦”

“My all time FAVORITE ice cream place in Oakland and honestly in SF & Berkeley included. Small gets u 2 scoops which is an UHMAZING deal 😙👌🏽 & i LOVE that they rotate their flavors!! also, they generously let u try their flavors!! I promise u, u will not regret getting ice cream from here! Qahwa is my fav flavor 😋 the workers are also super helpful. All around 10/10 place. I ride for miharu”

“Amazing Tortas, tacos, nachos, and more!”

“Outstanding spot to watch sports, chill, and more”

“It’s decent and tiny Thai restaurant in Oakland - family owned Restaurant. Interior is well decorated and well maintained. Outside of the restaurant is bit clumsy. Overall food is good and recommended to try. Prices are reasonable.”

“Nice atmosphere, friendly staff.”

“I’m touring a condo in Oakland for a client making an offer and I stop for a quick bite at a tiny sandwich place next to the Grand Lake Theater. OMG, Unbelievable sandwiches, smoked meats, homemade pickles, peppers🫑 and memorable pulled pork, etc. I hang out for a few minutes while Jerry makes my Cuban sandwich, and he has me try their smoked bacon, homemade meatballs, and more. Jerry’s the best and I love this place. Can’t wait to tell my client about it!! Check out Modigliani Cafe, next to the Grand Lake Theater. #modigliani #localbusiness #Oakland #localgem #restaurant #sandwich #grandlakedistrict #holeinthewall #localjoint #bayareafoodie #pamparkerproperties #realtor®”

“What a lovely place! Sand on the ground. Drinks are reasonable $12-$15 each.
Saturday night around 6pm and no crowd and quiet environment.
There’s a Photo Booth!”

“I’m highly recommend it ..I’m here every day”

“Nach drei Wochen „Roadtrip“ durch die USA haben wir uns gefreut dass in der Nähe unseres jetzigen Hotels dieses Restaurant/dieser Biergarten ist. Gut zubereitetes, ehrliches Essen. Ich bin selber leidenschaftlicher Hobbykoch in Deutschland und muss sagen: gut, wirklich gut. Das Sauerkraut könnte ein wenig „knackiger“ sein, aber es war trotzdem lecker. Und das „Früh Kölsch“ könnte ein weniger günstiger sein (schreibt ein Kölner 😉) Vielen Dank und euch weiterhin viel Erfolg”

“Love that half the menu is vegan, what a treat to have so much choice! I had the vegan tantan which was listed as a spicy dish so I was concerned that it'd be too hot but it was perfect, a little kick but nothing you can't handle if you have a low spice tolerance like me. It was delicious, creamy and SO filling. Highly recommended! They have a virtual queuing system where you put your name and number down and it texts you when your table is ready. You can watch where you are in the 'queue'. The wait was approx. 45 mins so we grabbed a drink elsewhere in the meantime, very efficient!”

“Fun little neighborhood coffee shop. The owners are two Vietnamese lady's and hare just wonderful and friendly.

So anyway the spring rolls are bomb. I defiantly recommend.”

“Very good food masterfully paired and friendly staff”

“I celebrated my 62nd birthday at Commis Restaurant, 2 Michelin star, with my adorably daughter and my wonderful sister, who hosted the dinner , and I can honestly say it was an experience unlike any I’ve ever had. This was my first tasting dinner at such an exquisite and beautiful restaurant, and it exceeded every expectation.

The food was absolutely delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented. The drinks were exceptional, and the service was impeccable. Every member of the staff was attentive and warm, making us feel truly cared for throughout the evening. I especially want to mention our host, Brandon, who was incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and made the entire experience feel effortless and special.

The atmosphere was intimate and elegant—slightly dark, but in a way that felt romantic and immersive rather than distracting. From start to finish, everything was exceptional.

Thank you for creating such a memorable evening for a very special birthday. I truly hope I’m able to return again someday. This was a night I will never forget.”

“We LOVED our experience at Burdell! It was our first time there and the food was BEYOND amazing! We had fun cracking the peanuts appetizer (messy but worth it)r, their petrole sole dish and carrots were heavenly, and the corn bread ended up being our dessert...everything was SO DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend!”

“I’ve died at Perle now about four times. Chef Rob Lam and staff do a great job. I took some photos and wrote about my August 2023 visit on @TalesoftheCork. Highly recommend, and will return.”

“Four of us tried out Cairo Station for the first time before the Patti Smith show at the Fox. We all agreed the food tastes great, the portions are big, and the place is very cool with Egyptian jazz setting the vibe. Very friendly, a great find. We will be back!”

“Nivea took care of me while dining in the Montclair location. The food was excellent, rivaling in-n-out, truly. Nivea was kind, attentive and very professional. Her service with a smile would draw me back time after time. And did I mention the smash burgers are number one.I would overall recommend this place to anyone looking for a friendly and welcoming environment.”

“Been coming here for years. Great place to stop in on a morning run and get some food. The kind of place that will let you come back and pay later if the internet is out for credit card purchases.”

“I ordered an iced chai latte and it was delicious! I loved that my server added cinnamon! Also, your straws are fantastic! They are sturdy plastic straws, and are brown colored with black dot decorations on them. Very unique! Well done!”

“healthy portions of healthy food, how can you beat that?”

“what a cool place. the amount of community that is instilled here is awesome! great great food!”

“healthy portions of healthy food, how can you beat that?”

“Halloween vibes year around!”

“Great food always! Old school comfort food (french toast, omelettes, waffles, pancakes plus a lot more ) be prepared to wait if you are going on the weekend.”

“I feel like I stepped into one of those Rolife miniature sets , it’s so precious! I love the decor, and the owner wasn’t kidding when the dark hijacha latte is strong! Will come back again.”

“Super easy to work with getting my design exactly how I wanted. Not sweet or greasy~ so cute!”

“really like this place because it's family-friendly and has a variety of food. I like it because they have burritos. I highly recommend it.”

“Came here with my husband and 2 dogs. They have a bunch of outside seating and ordering was super easy. We both got pho tai with added veggies and a shared order of the bbq chicken and shrimp spring rolls. Everything was incredibly tasty, pho was hot with lots of meat and veggies. The. spring rolls were also phenomenal.

The owners and staff were also super friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. We will definitely be coming back for both the amazing food and friendly people who work here.”

“We stopped in because this place is located across the street from the Fox Theater and we were seeing a concert. What a terrific find. Fantastic cocktails, wonderful bartenders, and you can order food from a Japanese restaurant next door and they deliver it to you at the bar. Enjoyed a wonderful bento box with gyoza, seaweed salad, and fried chicken.”

“If you looking for good home made Indian food biryani tikka kebab is the place it’s made with love fresh every day let’s go thank you guys much love and much respect god bless you guys 🥇✅🫶🤗👌”

If so they should so state on their web site.”

“Wow. Drunken beef, chicken with green beans, and chicken satay were all amazing, Coming back next week with colleagues.”

“This place sells the most delicious Mexican food in Oakland, and what's even better is their prices are extremely reasonable. If I were to change anything, I just wish they would link up with one of the food delivery services available in Oakland. Being a disabled senior, getting out is sometimes prohibitive for me.”

“Customer service is always welcoming, if you're social there's always a good conversation waiting or if you want to work with headphones on that's an option. The coffee or tea is great along with good food choices.”

“The best Soul Food I ever had! I do hope they still have Sunday Buffet! Please bring it back with the live bands!!!”

“What an awesome treat! Cheaper by the dozen! They are inexpensive and delicious! Owner goes above and beyond! Kind and friendly. He delivered right to my front door with pleasure!”

“Great prices. Our go to place for European wines”

“I’ve had the best experience everytime I visit, I go to the location on broadway in Oakland ca the lady Aby is so courteous & have the BEST customer service. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ABY”

“Menu online could be better for delivery. Unable to choose individual bagels by the dozen.”

“Today was my first visit! The food was great!! Freshly prepared for each order. I had to call them and let them know! All good!”

“The best seafood in the bay MARISCOS EL POBLANO pull up and buy from Sergio's food is the best.”

“I have eaten here every day for the last 5 days, twice today - something I have never done anywhere else in my life, and I'm almost 73. The food is delicious and nourishing, and the owner and the people who work here are warm and delightful.”

“People: do try the green pozole, breakfast burrito, chile relleno (the chile relleno is exceptionally good), and ceviche. I have tried the mentioned dishes more than twice and the consistency is always the same: excellent! Yum, yum!”

“It was the friendliest salsa scene I've been to in years--Sunday at four to eight. And the food was gorgeous, and the staff super helpful.”

“Great place for a show, and a drink, food not so much. Very over priced, and not that good. Not bad, but I've had way better, for considerably less money. The Sake was great. Jazz wonderful”

“We LOVED our experience at Burdell! It was our first time there and the food was BEYOND amazing! We had fun cracking the peanuts appetizer (messy but worth it)r, their petrole sole dish and carrots were heavenly, and the corn bread ended up being our dessert...everything was SO DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend!”

“Quite a bit too loud for our party of 5 who wanted to talk and not shout. Everything else was great! We'll be back though it would be nice to have some sound mitigation done.”

“Great food and if you like hot, they’ve got it!”

“we love the vibe, service and menu at GLK on Grand and have been going there for years. On our last visit we were surprised by how salty the food was. I think the cooks are overly generous with salt. Both our brussel sprouts and the scallops were really over salted. Next visit we will be sure to order low/no salt, and send back anything that's too salty.”

“First class operation”

“Good Burritos and good service”

“Definitely Best Tacos in Town! 🔥🍻🤤”

“The bigger was little small for the price but great ingredients. Great flavor. I wish the fries were thicker so they would hold texture longer and not get so hard as they cool. My loaded fries did not have fresh fries. Fresher fries would have improved the experience”

“Very fun vibe and great cocktails. Their signature Manhattan was the best nightcap. Espresso martini - well I could have had 3. Wish we tried seeing the back patio! But the vibe at the bar was warm and inviting.”

“Moody chic place that is perfect for a date night. The ambiance is dark and stormy with a moon somewhere. Drinks are tight and crisp. Lots of sitting and standing spots.

I wasn't a fan of my negroni, but the lychee cocktail was incredible. The bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable.

This is my go-to spot for date nights.”

“I got the chilaquiles with green sauce which came with potatoes, and it was delicious! My friend got a papusa plate with rice and beans and seemed to enjoy it. It was a good portion of food (I ended up taking half of mine home), and the service was great. They also have a parking lot, which was really convenient.”

“🌴✨ Just had the most amazing meal at Puerto Rican Street Cuisine! The food was so authentic and delicious—it instantly took me back to eating at my grandmother’s house. Every bite felt like home. 💛 The owner, Eric, and his staff made the experience even better with their warmth and hospitality. If you’re craving true Puerto Rican flavors and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the spot! 🍽️🇵🇷”

“Love the cheesecakes from here fire so good, I even double back the next day to get a different taste is was great the atmosphere is very welcoming a the art on the walls are so dope. I would be coming back to eat a phat plate of some BBQ”

“Perfect for a drink and a snack before a show at the Fox, or for any night. Thoughtfully crafted original cocktail menu, and delicious bites of American fare with a Pakistani twist, fantastic ambiance, flattering date night lighting, music at the perfect volume, friendly staff and verdant plants. One of my fave spots in Oakland!”

“Heard of this spot via word of mouth. Me a good friend went there and the food was amazing! A personal nitpick was it was too dim, but that’s just a personal preference.

The food was fantastic, service was excellent as well, I forgot to ask the server’s name, but she went out of her way to fix our table that was wobbly. I remember she had a nose septum ring.

Overall, fantastic sushi restaurant, highly recommend the Macha Tres Leche cake if you have room left!”

“Wow! This place is the real deal. Just returned from Thailand and have been craving Thai food. Of course I have my favorite Thai restaurants, but wanted to try this new restaurant, and oh my God, so good. Not like your typical Thai restaurants. Layered flavors and amazing beyond words. Particularly loved the pod Thai with lobster and shrimp and tofu, as well as the egg custard.”

“Great atmosphere, extremely friendly, and delicious food. Shout out to the strawberry lavender matcha latte, very tasty. Just the right portions, didn’t leave hungry but didn’t over eat. Vegetarian friendly with substitutes. Some of the most refreshing water I’ve had.”

“I have been seeing this place since they opened a while back. So I finally gave it a try and I got the hot boy sandwich. And I can definitely say this is by far one of the best sandwiches I have ever had! And for such an amazing price!
If you love sandwiches but can be somewhat finicky about them like me, this is the place to go!
Delicious, portioned out perfectly, and fresh so fresh!”

“Cutest bar I’ve ever been to! Love this vibes at this place! From the decorations with a duck theme, to the duck drinks and even staff all was 10 out of 10 amazing experience! I think this place is perfect for a night out with friends or a date night! Can’t wait to go back and highly recommend!”

“We have visited a couple of times and will definitely continue to come back. Henry, the owner, is very kind, knowledgeable, and creates a welcoming atmosphere. There is a great selection of rotating California wines (N/A as well!) and the space and staff are very dog friendly. A new Jack London neighborhood gem!”

“A great local bar with the friendliest service! I love that they're always doing something festive (king cake for Mardi Gras, corned beef and cabbage for St. Patty's, all the sports games, etc.) They make a mean dirty martini, and the Irish coffee the owner made me for St. Patty's was perfection. I need to make it here on a Friday for their BBQ lunch, it always looks amazing.”

“This restaurant serving Azerbaijani cuisine is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is exceptional — every dish, from the starters and salads to the main courses, is beautifully presented and bursts with authentic and unique flavor. Be sure to try the Khojaly lamb shank, kebabs, shah plov and dolma — you won’t find anything like them anywhere else in the Bay Area.

What truly sets Bistro 4293 apart is the owner, Anar. He’s a genuinely great guy with a wonderful sense of humor, plenty of engaging stories and a true passion for what he does. He is very friendly, down-to-earth and always open to feedback. Anar brings a personal touch that makes every visit memorable. He often stops by tables to chat with guests, making the dining experience feel more like a gathering among friends. It is obvious he loves his restaurant and is passionate about what he does.

This place offers one of the best dining experiences — and most importantly, best values — in the area. Can’t recommend it highly enough!”
