Kurabuta pork and truffle oil dumpling soup easily served two as did the fried organic chicken breast sandwich on an Acme torpedo roll. Soup was complex and wonderful. Sandwich was hearty. The house-made pickles were just one more excellent thing about it. Will take pic next time. Big sandwich. Pick up times are accurate, if you arrive very early they have beautiful cookbooks to page through. Service is excellent. Once I found parking right in front. More often arrived at pickup time, order was ready, back in car in less than 5 minutes. Also, parking on west side of 23rd just north of Macdonald. There are fewer spots on east side of 23rd because of curb cutouts for the large McDonald's parking lot. (And if you see a hint there, OK.)

A bright spot in the food landscape. All dishes are constructed and executed well above their price point. Order ahead and don't show up early, but everything I've ever ordered from here has been noticeably great.

Flavor explosion! Oppenheimer would be jealous! Now open for same-say service....

A hidden blessing in downtown Richmond, a block away from the McDonald's on MacDonald next to a hair studio. First thing you are struck by is the simple, pristine, interior which is a calming contrast to the hustle and bustle outside. ...But you stay for the food -- such painstakingly constructed takeout made with high quality ingredients: lobster rolls, short rib sandwiches, fried chicken, perfectly crispy fries. It's my Friday splurge for lunch and a great way to indulge my stress eating. Pro-tip: order on their website before going. Usually takes about 1/2 hour for food to be ready. I made that rookie mistake, but you don't have to!

Only the freshest ingredients. Such a delicious balance of sweet and savory flavors. A hidden gem.

The harissa chicken salad with stone fruit was delicious! Chicken was perfectly tender. All the ingredients were fresh. Generous portions. And the lemon soy dressing was the best dressing I've ever tasted. I also ordered the fried chicken which was nicely crispy and came with a tasty dipping sauce with chopped herbs. I'm definitely going back there to try the rest of the menu.

Great find in Richmond!The chicken salad is bomb! Everything was so fresh and tasted like it was just prepped on demand. I couldn't stop eating! I don't know any other place that makes such an amazing salad! There were iceberg, arugula, sweet red and green grapes, nectarines, thinly shaved cucumbers, radish, fennel, orange and purple carrots, corn just off the cob, avocado, bejeweled grapefruit and feta cheese. Where else can you get such variety and value? I ate the rest of my salad 5 hours later and everything was still fresh. We also got the fried chicken w/ a side market salad. This salad was also nicely crafted with delicious components, just like the entree size salad! The chicken was crunchy, hot and a generous portion, not greasy at all. Hot sauce added some nice kick. Love to return and try the other dishes. The folks behind the counter are super nice. It's take out only and parking can be challenging, but this place is definitely worth trying.

In search of fresh, local biz, mom-and-pop, SEASONAL, farm-to-table WITHOUT the overly expensive and bougie attitude? 2207 is the holy grail.I was in the Richmond area and wanted to try some place new, and saw all 5 stars for this spot. Let me tell you. 2207 definitely earned all of their stars. IF ONLY there were better parking options. I ordered takeout, same day, for lunch pickup, online menu is super easy to maneuver. They seem to have dine-in option too, but honestly I'm not sure how people do that since street parking is rough out here, plus it's not entirely the safest neighborhood from what I could tell. Regardless, if you're doing takeout, you can call them, turn on your hazard lights, and tell them you're here for pickup so their sweet ahjumma can come running out with your order!I wanted something on the fresh and light, since I was heading to a brewery afterwards and their chicken salad caught my eye. Harissa grilled chicken, stonefruit, bing cherries, satsuma, avocado, sweet Brentwood corn (just to name a few items in the salad) I mean WHAT! All of that nutritious goodness, beautiful colors, and they name where they source their ingredients? Like sign me the eff up! The presentation did not disappoint, even when I opened my takeout box, I felt like I was opening up a Christmas gift. I thought I would have some salad left over, but ya girl demolished all of it. All of the flavors were so juicy, refreshing and textures melded so well together. I love the sesame soy lemon dressing that came with, thank you for the two--I kept the other one in my fridge so I could use it for future meals. I wish I could see what the interior looked like, but being from out of the area, I think parking was the main issue.Both the son and mom on the phone sounded so lovely and kind! Thank you for doing what y'all clearly do SO well, definitely down to support again...maybe dine in? The portions were huge, food so fresh, and service warm-hearted.

We audibly gasped when we walked in and saw the sign that they only do preorders now, a day ahead!We haven't been here in a year and remembered how delicious their food was so we drove here on a whim. Luckily, I rang the little door bell hanging near the sign at the window and the owner came and greeted us. I asked with hope in my voice if they only take preorders. A smile spread through my face behind my mask when he responded that they have a few items left. We immediately chose the fried chicken and patty melt. We heard them place the chicken in the fryer by the glorious oil bubbling that gives me a Pavlovian response everytime. Good thing I had a mask to hide my drool. Less than 10 min later, a nice lady handed us the carefully packaged meals. We couldn't get home fast enough to enjoy our chicken with rice IYKYK.We took a bite/ bites in the car and both did a MMMYUMMMM for both the chicken and patty melt. The fried chicken comes with a side salad OR waffle fries. The batter is super crisp and the chicken is juicy. 2 large leg quarters for $14? A steal! The patty melt is on levain bread with pickles. No side salad, fyi. A bit pricey for just a sandwich, but I would get it again. The meat was super flavorful, moist and the grilled onions kept the whole thing juicy. A great place for amazing food. Order ahead or come at your own risk and play food roulette. You can't go wrong with either choice.

Love this hidden gem! My friends and I learned about it from some food article about Richmond restaurants a few years ago. We tried it and loved it but since I work in San Francisco and they're not open on weekends, I didn't have a chance to eat there often. They closed during the pandemic and my friend told me when she found out they were open but you now have to order at least a day in advance and schedule a pickup. The food is still excellent! The first time I did an online order, I went to pick up the next day and the chef told me it would just be another minute as my fries were just finishing. When he came out with my order, he told me he accidentally made the salad instead of fries but included both plus a pudding. Not only were the fries so crispy and hot, but the salad was delicious and made me think about ordering it in the future even though I usually get the fries. Their fried chicken is so crispy and delicious and you get a huge portion of 2 quarters. This last time I ordered the crispy pan fried noodles with steak and prawns. The noodles didn't stay super crispy by the time I got home, but the abundance of toppings and how tasty it was made up for it.
2207 is BACK! and Better Than Ever! Open Tues-Friday. Have to order online the day before which works just fine for me. :)

So glad to find out they reopened after being closed a while during the pandemic. Currently you have to pre-order a day in advance for pickup so it takes a little planning but so worth it.Their fried chicken is so crispy. I ordered it with waffle fries and they say they only fire up the fries just before your pickup time so that they're fresh. When I went to pick up my order, they let me know it would just be a few minutes because the fries were finishing and when he came out with my order, he said he accidentally made the salad but included both the fries and salad and threw in a vanilla pudding. Everything was so delicious. Even the bonus pudding had flecks of vanilla bean and tasted so much better than the instant stuff. The chicken and fries were enough for 2 meals.

Glad they reopened, but you have to order one day in advance. That aspect alone makes it very hard to go try the food. It does look like a different menu and more casual. ?

I am more than happy, thought I got a lot more than I expected. The meal included two chicken legs and thighs and a salad. The salad included sliced apples, mandarin, grapes and pomegranate seeds and ginger. The dressing had a kick. The coding on the chicken was crispy and the chicken was tender and succulent.

Diamond in the ruff! Great seafood and steaks! Everything comes with fresh veggies balanced sauces, lots of fresh citrus and greens. I have been building an apartment complex a block away, and until this place opened,the only other decent option were tacos. This place a so good, it's worth a stop off the freeway on your way north.
