“I ordered from uber eats, it was supposed to come with a free shrimp salad roll side, but I didn't get it. But I got everything else I paid for, so not a big deal. the red curry steak was very spicy for me but good. chicken also great too. would order again“

“I walked in with high hopes and with my group of friends. I walked out thinking the food was pretty good and the service was not great. Our server was gruff, condescending, and very inflexible when it came to splitting checks. The food was tasty and not as special as I was expecting. I'm not sure if I'll be going back.“

“First time having Chicago style deep dish pizza and it was so tasty. The sauce is so good.“

“Walking in, you may wonder if you'd walked into a bar, but stick around.
We showed up super late, but they still sat us. Food takes about 30ish or so minutes, and like I said, we were late. As in last table served late.

I got the 6 pc fish with greens and Mac. Clean fish. Greens with no pork. The Mac was spot on for what I expected.

My wife had the gumbo, which had everything in it that it should. She got her rice on the side, her choice, by the way.

My son got the 3 pc chicken wing and Mac. He had me strip the wings and ate it all and all of the Mac. This is rare for him being as picky as he is.

We also got a side of yams and grits. I like my grits cooked to a certain consistency, and they nailed it, unlike the soup they serve at Burdells.

Also threw 1 Heineken on to the bill.

Before leaving, we ordered a peach cobbler and banana pudding to go.
Get them both. The cobbler hit every childhood memory on the way down. The pudding My son wanted to have to himself.

We also grabbed the strawberry crunch for my wife's mother's birthday. She loved it. Thank you to the waitress who set us up with this. You were amazing and thank you for having us in that late.

Total bill was between 120-130

We will be going back for breakfast to try the chicken and waffles the waitress told me about. Given how picky and I am how good their food was I'm actually looking forward to it after how much of a letdown so many other places had been.“

“This is my go to place for takeout when im sick or hungry/lazy past 930pm. I always get the kimchi soup with pork belly, seafood pancake, kimchi cold noodle, and more pork belly. Their banchan also includes a crunchy mustard seaweed noodle that is so addicting.

This may be my favorite korean restaurant in the city.“

Thank you for bringing this to our neighborhood
I will be back soon“

“Love a good banh mi that comes from inside a market deli. We came for a sandwich and wanted so much more. Lots of choices from the hot bar made us want to come back.

We got two banh mi’s on this visit and a couple spam musubis. So good.“

“Best diner food in the East Bay. Live music on second Friday of the month 6 to 8:30pm.“

“Really yummy food and great service. Went for lunch with some friends and we enjoyed our meals. It a small place(indoors) but outside the patio is pretty large. The server was so nice and friendly. We were the only ones there so we got VIP treatment lol. I ordered the lunch combo yellow curry with veggies, chicken spring rolls and Thai tea. It didn’t miss a beat! The flavors were amazing and the veggies were cooked perfect. We also had the chicken wings as appetizers. GET THEM! They were delicious. Definitely coming back.“

“Quick and friendly service. There are clearly marked vegetarian items as well as options to be made vegan. The food is high quality and the falafel is so delicious. The portions are also on the larger end. Thank you for a nourishing and satisfying meal.“

“Carne pizza is highly recommended! Zachery’s special was ok. We ordered thin pizza and Happened to add anchovies, whole pizza became so so salty that we could barely eat. So be careful with toppings. But we finished the entire carne, it was so so good.“

“Good people, good food, easy going place ... what's not to like about it?“

“Everything is so good here. Freshly made and delicious“

“Very clean and open space. I ordered the grapefruit tea with lychee jelly which was delicious but also too sweet so next time I will tweak my order to have less sugar. My daughter ordered the milk tea with boba and puff cream (I think that is what it was). She loved it! We received our drinks promptly. Located near Fenton's“

“Called in for takeout late on a Saturday night. It was 11:30 PM. Surprisingly, the restaurant was completely empty. I thought there would be more people hanging out here! Not too familiar with Oakland, but maybe it was a location issue? Anyways, we called and had an estimate of 25 minutes, but our food was ready in 15 minutes. Going inside, paying and checking out was easy.

We specifically wanted bossam. We also got the tteokbokki.

Service was quick and friendly.

At home, when we started to eat, we wish the bossam had more cabbage than the portion of steamed napa cabbage they gave us. The sauce flavors were good though and they gave us some banchan. The tteokbokki was tasty.

We were also able to takeout some makgeolli since the H-Marts and other Asian grocers were closed at this time.

All in all it got our bossam fix taken care of.“

“Incredible food and amazing service. We loved the food and vibe so much we had our wedding reception in their Private Den for our micro wedding of 24 people! It was so fun and the perfect place. It was our perfect vibe and so aesthetically pleasing! I loved the moody vibes and it perfectly complimented our wedding ideas. Our group was small enough at 24 people so we were able to do a seated dinner with a four course meal. Food was so good and 100% better than a typical catered wedding.
My MOH was able to go in before opening and decorated quickly so it was even more beautiful than usual. The team was able to set up for the dinner and helped us take it down once food and cake were done. We were able to dance the night away and have some delicious drinks! They were so attentive and the staff was constantly coming in to check on us and quickly get us drinks or help us with lighting, switching our Spotify playlist, etc. Stellar team and I know this was the perfect place for us. It’s was an unforgettable night, even after I had one too many drinks celebrating!

I spent weeks looking for an affordable place for after our San Francisco City Hall wedding. All blogs, socials, and reviews told me of dozens of restaurants that for me were ok for a dinner, maybe some dancing. None were perfect or that cost-effective.
Wilder was so beautiful and the staff was so friendly. The owner himself showed me the private den and talked to us while we ate dinner there for our first tasting. He went above and beyond that day and our actual reception. He was the one serving the bar and helping me switch my Spotify playlist. You can tell he cares about the client experience and he is helping us even in the tiny details like that!
Coming here even for dinner you can tell they cultivate a culture of quality experience and food. Having my actual wedding reception here showed me they will pull all the stops for you to have a memorable experience. I will forever remember our night and keep coming back to relive it!

Parking: Lots of street parking even on weekends but there’s a paid parking garage about a block away if it gets hard to find a spot

Kid-friendliness: My kid loved it, had 3 kids under 7 for our Private Den event and they were kept busy the whole night with the game in there and then the dancing. Couch there for when they got sleepy.“

“fabulous food...generous portions...♡“

“Good food, great place for duck, Asian BBQ pork and BBQ ribs etc. Large amount of menu items. Their egg Foo young is amazing. Picture is their wonton and egg noodles with Peking duck pretty good. 11.00+ unfortunately, they haven’t allowed dine in since the start of the Covid pandemic. Prices have also raised $3.00 plus per item since then .“
