Located conveniently near Fruitvale station, the restaurant provides unique flavor profiles like sweet potato tostada and mushroom with pumpkin seed mole. The smoked salmon dip and venison steak are highly recommended, with incredible berry sauce and well-seasoned meat. The menu is simple yet wide-ranging, featuring authentic ingredients and heavy portions. Dishes like the Bison tacos and green mole with wild mushrooms are praised for their delicious and unique flavors.
The restaurant has a more cafeteria-like ambiance, with native trinkets and art adding some charm. Customers appreciate the open, big windows and the fast, friendly service. The sweet potato and the hibiscus drink with maple syrup are popular menu items. Many guests describe the cuisine as distinctive and delicious, served in a warm, family-style setting. The food is extremely fresh and flavorful, with some dishes like the wild rice fritter being unexpectedly sweet. The Bison and Salmon were especially praised, and the cookies are crisp and rich with delightful chocolate chips. Vegan options outnumber non-vegan ones, offering a variety of flavors and dishes. While some found the blue corn dessert mush fermented in a bad way, everything else was very delicious. The ingredients are fresh and dishes are made to order, ensuring quality. Overall, Wahpepah's Kitchen is a special spot that excels in food and atmosphere, making it a great place to enjoy with family, friends, or on a first date. Parking can be challenging, but the nearby BART garage offers a convenient solution.
