40 Best Salad Restaurants in Oakland

“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’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®“

“100%recomendado lo mejor el café ☕️ super rico 😋 👌 lo mejor muy bonito el lugar“

“They just opened and are still working it out. It’s right next to Thanh Ky and a block away from Cam Huong. Got the rarely found Lort Cha, Cambodian Stir fried pin noodles. It only comes with beef. (They should consider offering other proteins). And their Lao style papaya salad (spicy and stinky which I love).

I really wanted to love the Lort Cha but it was sooo sweet, chef prob went a little too heavy handed with the sugar. It’s a savory dish. Papaya salad was good. Portions are huge here bc I think it’s a new business so they don’t have their portions down yet. Everything is also hella cheap.

Will not be coming back unfortunately but try them out tho! The owner seems chill.“

“I’ve been coming here for 7+ years and the food has always been high quality, delicious, and well portioned. Can’t go wrong with their salads and recently I’ve learned the paninis are fantastic as well. I will say it’s good to order online and pickup, and leave a little time buffer as they can get pretty busy over the lunch rush. The staff can get really busy but they’ve always been helpful and courteous.“

“New York pizza is hands down the best if you’ve actually had it, and this place is the closest I’ve found in the East Bay. My usual go-to spots were Slice House and Mama Boys, but this tops both of them. The crust and flavor have that classic NY tang and chew I’ve been missing. I also tried their wings and cannoli—both really good. This is officially my new go-to pizza spot. Bonus: easy parking in Oakland!“

“Food was fantastic! First time here and will definitely be back. My partner and I had the curry puffs, red curry, and slow cooked pork. Each dish was excellent. This was the most tender pork I’ve ever had and it paired so well with the spicy lime sauce. The drinks were fun too! Great service, highly recommend“

“I was looking for a salad somewhere other than Mixt and was directed here by a friend. Their salads are so good, full, fresh, and they're so flavorful you don't need much dressing at all. It was so good that I went back for lunch the very next day. I've only had their grilled chicken in a salad, but it's delicious and can be gluten free. Definitely worth the DoorDash delivery!!“

“This establishment is excellent very clean and customer service is amazing specifically an employee named Alex he was very friendly, interactive and informative about the products and helped me decide what pizza was best for me and my liking to purchase“

“Stopped in for lunch and got the Caesar salad with chicken & Vietnamese iced coffee. Salad was ginormous & both were delicious. Staff were all super friendly and engaging. The space was cute & airy with lots of seating. Will be back!“

“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“

“My picky husband really liked the veggie burger 😊“

“This has become one of my go to spots for lunch. the staff is incredibly friendly and feels like a family, the sandwiches are delicious and filling, and the prices are great! I love the brisket and italian trio. try one of those once and you’ll keep coming back regularly like i did. highly recommend!“

“I recently had the chance to try the pizza here, and I was genuinely impressed. The crust was perfectly baked—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sauce had a rich, savory flavor that complemented the generous toppings, The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone craving a classic, satisfying slice!“

“Absolutely the best Ethiopian food in the area. The ladies who take and prepare the orders are very polite and helpful. They sell the vegetarian half and full orders as well as coffee and some sweets. Authentic and delicious.“

“A magical secret which Oakland manages to hide within her bosom, Laney Bistro will, in equal parts, frustrate you that more people don’t know about it yet, and make you secretly glad that it is so. Come out and support the Laney College Culinary Arts Department and future stars of the restaurant world. I defy anyone to find a better $30 3-course fine dining meal anywhere in the Universe!“

“I really like the food at this place. The sushi is yummy (if you like lots of sauce and Americanized sushi, which I do.) However, the rolls can be pretty expensive, and sometimes too large/ full of rice for my liking. Also the restaurants interior is a little out dated and uninviting. Street parking on Piedmont can be a challenge, but there’s a paid lot nearby.“

“Shapeshifters is a great place for seeing artistic ideas, either to give or to get and the beer isn't bad either. Come out and support local artists they'll be glad you did and so will you.“

“One of the delicious pizza- highly recommended“

“food was great, lind of pricey but worth it“

“everything is delicious!!1“

“Food was great and the atmosphere was wonderful“

“The rating on the food is more of a personal choice, there are people who really like this place and others who find it lacking. So you'll have to make your own review. The service personnel are very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is fairly generic. It's definitely worth checking out to formulate your own assessment.“

“In all my travels, I look for what I call "happy food." Happy food for me is healthy, nutritious, tasty, nicely prepared, and served by smiling people in a clean environment. Oori exceeded all my happy food requirements and then took me for a ride through food blissfulness worth each bite. I had chicken teriyaki, grilled salmon, and spicy tuna triangles. On the side, I complimented it with miso soup and ginger. Each flavor was distinct and made my taste buds ooh, ahh, and wow for more. I'll be back here for more without question. I felt like I was dining at a 5-star restaurant and found the food reasonably priced.“

“Every detail has been thought through! Best fried chicken and mashed potatoes I have ever had. Coffee and coconut macaroon were ridiculous!!!“

“Best carnitas I’ve had in the bay so far. Super flavorful, and perfect balance of moist but with yummy crunchy bits. Delicious homemade tortillas and amazing salsa. This is a mom and pop shop!! Don’t expect a super fast process, but everyone is super nice and the food quality is 10/10.“

“Small place, but the winners for me are the salads, the Cobb in particular. I get the small Cobb with blue cheese dressing mixed in, and it's a great lunch salad with plenty of protein to keep me satiated for a while without having extra carbs and for a good price. I like that their hardboiled eggs are never overcooked! I dont really like pizza(even though I've made thousands of pizzas at a few jobs), but my kids always get a small, and they love it. I've tried it before, and I do admit that they have a good pizza dough. The man that's always there is nice, respectful & quick.“

“Good place for salads. The downside is that the burger meat is shrinking and getting thinner to match their burger buns.Today was my last day of wasting money on their almost paper-thin burgers. I'll still patronize them for salads and occasionally a shake“

“Came in looking for wings and pizza, was pleasantly surprised when I walked in, restaurant was very clean and nice inside, didn’t get her name but the lady at the counter was so sweet and welcoming. I got lemon pepper wings and they were amazingg off the fist bite to the last, as well as the garlic knots! So delicious! Loved the lil Pac-Man game in the corner, 10/10 recommend. Too good!“

“Good pizza !!! Also affiliated with Haddon Hill Cafe. Nice local businesses“

“I ordered the chicken noodle and tomato soup to be delivered. The soup was very good, but the bread was NOT sour dough as expected, it was a cut in half hoagie roll...yuk! This was a HUGE disappointment as I only eat sourdough or dark rye bread. Esp in the bay area where Sourdough is the go to. You need to serve what you say you have. This kind of stuff drives me crazy. It is as if the customer is not going to know...not good!“

“Great burgers and curly fries! Clean and well spaced tables.“

“If you love thick pizza, Detroit style pizza from 8MilePi is the way to go! So cheesy and filled with toppings. Smog pizza is my fav. There’s multiple locations so it’s convenient to satisfy my pizza cravings. They also have yummy wings and a packed chopped salad if you want other options. Their pizzas are huge and are so filling for lunch or dinner.“

“There's a small pizza chain originating out of Niles/Fremont that has the best dang pizza pie I've ever tasted. Mountain Mike's Pizza on Telegraph is an extremely close second. On top of that, the pizza joint in Niles kicked my girlfriend and I out of their restaurant the very first time I set foot in there....and we don't even know why!!?!! Having said that, MMP has my pie ready, on time with a smile every time without fail so....MMP is probably a lot closer to that top spot than we think. Whoever Mike is he's got that mountain well under control. Love it.

“Had east coast white clam pizza. I requested crispy crust that’s well blistered and burnt in places. Came exactly as I requested. Unfortunately, dough was way over salted!! I won’t order again, unless they offer a much less salty crust!“

“We were having a good-bye dinner with good friends who are moving. The atmosphere is above average burger joint, just perfect for the food. Service was very good with just the right amount of attention. My wife had their Barney's salad of which she ate her fill then brought almost half of it home. I had the French Burger that was cooked beautifully medium-rare and needed no condiments. The 4 of us shared an order of steak fries which was more than enough. As a long-time resident of Pittsburgh, PA, I especially appreciated the Heinz ketchup for the fries. We will be back.“

“No frills family run pizzeria. I got a slice of the specialty pizza and a Mexican coke, you absolutely cannot go wrong with this, the pizza was super flavorful I honestly loved it. I wish we had more of these shops that sell pizza by the slice🥹 esp small businesses!
The pizza was def not fresh which was unfortunate because I know with certainty that a fresh pizza would’ve been even more fire 🔥 will come back for sure.“
