6 min walk from the Oakland Marriott, was looking for something to eat after a late night at a wedding. The food was really good took a while to come out but it was hot and tasted really fresh. Would definitely come back to eat to go.Would have gotten 5 stars but the tables were dirty as well as they’re games (xl uno cards& connect the dots)
The food was very mediocre it wasn't anything I expected at all!! It's very over hyped for the price I got 3 items paid $75 and throw most of it in the trash! And customer service was basically nonexistent we wont be returning!

The food was good! The environment was super chill and the music was slappin' (beside the saaaaame song bumpin' like 8 times in a row) it was a dope environment. The workers were really nice. She was really attentive to us. It was our first time there and it was a really good experience for all of us! The portions were real generous!! We all definitely took food home! The only down part for me was the mac was real real salty! My friend said he tried it before and it wasn't salty like that. So maybe it was an off day for the mac...but overall, everything was bomb.com!

Trap kitchen is going to get all my coins. This is my cheat day go to the salmon bites are on point and prawns. Sides are taste worthy the Mac was super cheesy and greens were perfect. Thank you for blessing my tummy.

The food was tasty. My drink was strong but matched the price. The location is dark and upstairs, not senior or ADA friendly.

I went here because I had heard and seen pictures of the food. Let's just say the pictures were deceiving. The food did not have any flavor, very bland. Several things on the menu (most popular)they didn't have and this was around 1 pm and they open at noon. The decor needs upgrading. The tables were not sturdy. I was hoping to give this place a better review because I really want this place to win, but I just have to be honest. This was a waste of time and money.
Just came here to get food with my sister and what we received did not give us that happy food feeling at all! We got the bacon Mac and cheese that had big strips of bacon in it which should have been pieces. The mac and cheese was nothin special. We also ordered the pineapple bowl with steak and shrimp and the rice was hard and the steak was thin shreds that had no flavor at all.The steak that was used was for Philly cheesesteaks not chunks. First off, as a cook myself, they totally cheated when it came to this meal. Pineapple bowls should be made with pineapple fried rice not just bland, hard, day old rice. None of the food was fresh and it was obvious. We was looking for some great flavorful comfort food that would give us that happy feeling and all we got was two containers of disappointment. We didn’t even eat 25% of it before deciding we will just get food somewhere else. Lastly, I tried to just call them and tell them how we weren’t satisfied with the quality of food we received and no one answered and on top of that it was a cellphone number not a business number!

Customer service was not great. Waited a long time for the food without receiving any updates through text. Chicken was fried nicely, but they do not give you any sauce besides ketchup, tartar sauce, and hot sauce. Fries were soggy with uneven seasoning. Mac and cheese was mostly salty. Overall, the chicken tasted great, they just need more variety in the sauces.

Chicken and garlic fries were good, especially the chicken.
