“As always Chinese dim sum places always crowded and noisy. If you want romatic then this s Not a place for it. But if you want real dimsum or HK style cooking, specially seafood dishes, then this is the place for yummy food. A little bit pricy, always has.line for Saturday or Sunday lunch. service is quick and fairly good. This is my routine spot for taking my older parents after walk and not a bad place when take friends there.“

“I heard the food Truck in Oakland has better tasting food than here, and I have to say, if it is then it must be real good because this food was really good. I got their Trio Burrito which has New York steak, chicken, shrimp, garlic fried rice, vegetables & yummy sauce inside. That yummy sauce is fire on the burrito I poured it on every bite. The burrito is huge and very filling. My wife and son got their combo meals which also had a lot of food. The meal my wife got was their shrimp chicken and lobster. It was a whole lobster tail and the shrimp was a pretty good size. She said the chicken however was a little dry. She couldn’t finish all of it, so for the amount you get and what you pay I’d say it’s a pretty fair deal but a little on the pricey side. Overall a fantastic experience and a must recommend to go.“

Not much customer service. Also hard to get their attention when trying to check in.
Ambiance: 4.5/5
Loving the greenery and nature vibes
Food: 4.5/5
There was a huge diversity of options. Saw there was a Mochi fish tofu then ? it was very interesting. Got pretty much everything I wanted. There was even a sauce bar. Only complaint is that the soup base was slightly salty
Wow: 0.5/1
Wowed but the ingredient options.
Total Score = BR + CS + 2*AM + 5*FOOD + WOW“

“I finally got to try the dishes here and I am not disappointed.
I got the soup and it was just right amount of jalapeños for the spice. I lobe the simplistic it had, but it was still tasty ?
I also tried the island poke dish and it was very delicious as well.
I like how you have options for the rice or a salad base, or both.
Very flavorful and right amount of sauces.
I am looking forward to trying more dishes as time goes by.“

“Ordered just the Kaokao Chicken
* Crispy skin
* Perfect level of heat
* Good portions (very filling but not excessive)
* Lovely flavors (very warm—Chana Masala + Chinese 5-spice kind of vibe)
Only recommendation to the restaurant is to get AC for the upstairs and maybe put another water jug up there—it was pretty warm.“

“I got the smoothie, a side of steamed veggies and a tofu bowl and not only were all three clearly made with high quality, organic ingredients, but they were absolutely delicious. 10/10. But what impressed me even more than the food tonight was the thoughtfulness of the gentleman working. They closed at 11:30 pm (bless them for being the only vegan, organic food in the area open that late) and was cutting it close to get there before closing time. When I arrived 1 or 2 minutes after 11:30, I was worried that I had missed my opportunity and screwed up, but no - a thoughtful young man was literally standing in front of the restaurant with my order, waiting for me. He definitely didn’t have to do that - service is way above and beyond - 20/10! That wonderful young man saved me after I hadn’t eaten all day and couldn’t find anything vegan open late, I’m so grateful. <3
Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and organic to boot!
Dietary restrictions: Tons of amazing gluten free, vegan, organic options.“

“service is fast, food is delicious. my favorite is carbonara, also tried pad thai, garlic fried chicken, ramyeon bbq pork etc. the only thing is that the pink milk is NOTHING like the photo- it looks straight up like pepto bismol and I have no idea what flavor it is, it just tastes artificial.“

“A special and unique space. Mahjong tables are GOING, the space is filled with unique touches and Asian snacks, the space has so many unique events that are inclusive for everyone. One of the workers helped me order drinks then came up to DJ afterward - dope.
Also the Filipino food pop up smacks - you may think you can only pork but you'll be pleasantly surprised - just don't go in thinking it's supposed to taste like what you know.“

SALMON IN GARLIC BASIL WINE SAUCE : Poached salmon topped w/ roasted garlic, basil, & black mushroom in reduced wine sauce. It's divine!

“Delicious food and friendly staff. Parking in this area is slightly challenging, but it is conveniently located near our church. It's always reassuring to be able to find a good lunch spot and is nearby. Baby Cafe is our go-to lunch spot after church. Good atmosphere and clean dining spaces.“

“Food is solid. -1 for service, zero acknowledgement upon entering the restaurant. Stood at the register to order, woman behind the counter a foot away doing something on phone/in a notebook didn't so much as look up for a couple mins. Couple groups that came in after, same deal. Pet peeve having grown up as child labor in my family's restaurant. Welcome people in! Costs a few seconds of effort but goes a long way.“

“This Quickly in Oakland chinatown is the closest one to me. I don't go there that often, but when I do, I buy some milk tea and snacks for me and my family. The owner is very nice. There are lots of drink options and snack options to choose from. I wish they were closer so I could go there more often.“

“Their onigiri is really good! I’m not always in the mood for spam, but they have plenty of options without spam too, and I haven’t had anything I haven’t liked yet. They partner with several delivery services and their food always is packed well and is ready quickly for the drivers. Definitely recommend!“

“This place is right next door to the brewery. They make good finger food. Did not try the dishes. I only hit it with 4 instead of 5 because the waiter did not seem like he really wanted to be there. Also I did not eat at the establishment, I eat between the brewery and food place. Should you go? Absolutely!!! Maybe you will have a 5 instead of a 4!“

“Tried their caramel chicken sandwich for the first time by the manager’s(or owner: who is very personable by the way) recommendation and it was appetizingly pleasant. It had a bbq zesty, spicy tang to it. Definitely going to return for more.“

“Cool place (love the decor/style), nice staff & tasty food. Some dishes you will not find in the average Thai restaurant in the Bay Area. For example, the chef or owner is from northern Thailand so the menu features a top Northern Thai dish - Kao Soi noodle soup (beef or chicken), or the all time fav 'street food' grilled pork skewers (moo ping) served with sticky rice (ck out the menu on their website). I had the Pad Kemao Chicken (menu says beef but they are happy to make dishes with what you like & even have Beyond Meat dishes on the menu - cool to see stir fried basil with Beyond Meat (Krapao Beyond Neur)). The taste of my wok fried pad kemao was delicious, same or better than any I've had on prior trips to Bangkok. Glad to have discovered a solid Thai restaurant that doesn't have watered down flavors. Good to see they have a lot of gluten free and vegan choices on the menu too. Definitely will be back, keep up the good work!“

“Great restaurant for a date night or with a group of friends. Everything is flavorful and filling! We were 5 people total and split a bunch of dishes. Highly recommend the garlic noodles and saucy wings (medium?)
We made a reservation for a Friday night but walking in might have been ok too.
They have a large sake selection too, unsure what other drinks they have.“

“a little expensive for hot pot- but the nice new restaurant feel and the quality of food makes up for it. The meat lover combo for $65 was plenty for two people. Service would really only show up when you placed a new order, and it was a little weird not to receive spoons or bowls (there is a separate self-serve counter for this and sauces) but besides that they were fine. Only rank atmosphere low due to a large amount of families with loud kids wandering the restaurant... cest la vie.“

“Really tasty and inventive. Loved the yum pla muk..think that was my fave. Choo chee was also delicious though the baseline is a bit sweet. But don’t worry - I asked for a side of chilies and it was perfect!
More people need to come here! It’s real cute inside but atmosphere was a bit lacking since it was so empty!“

Our favorite dishes jajangmyeon and the fried pork. Their noodles are so good!!! Big portions also. There’s no other place like it in the bay, would highly recommend.
Staff is also very attentive and always so welcoming and nice.“

“We initially tried to come here on a Friday at 7 PM but there seemed to be a long wait so we decided to check it out on a Wednesday and we only had to wait about 10-15 minutes for a table. This location was originally a Taco Bell, but I love the atmosphere there, friendly, good service and comforting food! It's a cozy place perfect for a cold wintry day to have your own little boiling hot pot of tasty broth and hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals! Hubby ordered the Lau Pork Bone Marrow and I had the Lau Oxtail. I ordered the Oxtail without the tripe, just more oxtail! The hot pot came out boiling with oxtail and beef balls. All I had to do was cook the egg noodles, taro, tofu, cabbage, veggies into the soup as there was plenty of delicious oxtail and meat balls in the delicious broth! Great for a bone chilling night! Next time I'd love to try the shaken beef!“

“The dishes were authentic Sichuan flavors. The lamb soup, in particular, was exceptionally tender and flavorful. If you’re a fan of spicy food, this place is a must-visit. The staff were both friendly and attentive, ensuring we were well cared for throughout our meal. I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of the menu!“

“I tried their yingyang dumplings ? & cilantro mushroom sui mai. It was good but didn’t completely hit the spot for me. Maybe those weren’t their best or they had an off day in the kitchen - I’d be down to try a different dumpling, the food was pretty decent 4/5“

“Omfg. Want Michelin star level food in delightfully casual digs at normal-people prices? This is your spot. Just had the most melt-in-your-mouth brisket bowl. Beef was eye-wateringly delicious. Veggies steamed to a crunchy perfection. Jasmine rice fluffy. Annoying work day forgotten! Was going to take it to go and ended up staying to eat, drink some rose, and chill out in the cute surroundings. Officially one of my new fave spots“

Vegetarian options: They have noodles, rice, or tofu for the vegetarian diet.
Wheelchair accessibility: A wheelchair will fit right into the front doors as well as the staff is very accommodating to those persons.“

“I ordered the following:
Banh Mi with hoi-an style sauce (with viet pork ham & pate). Served on a house-made baguette that was toasty on the outside and tender on the inside. Very little flavour to the ham/pate, though. My dining partner had the grilled lemongrass chicken and raved about it. I will get that next time. With a different protein my sandwich would have been spectacular.
Farm box chocked full of seasonal vegetables and fruits with three flavorful spreads. Fresh and delicious. The tomatoes and figs were standouts for me. Big enough to share.
Savory donuts with scallions, bacon and shaved parmesan. Delicious. A bit of a crunch on the outside with a nice tender crumb on the inside. Thumbs up.
Lemon Ricotta Donuts with a spiced apple dipping sauce. I like the donut, but the spiced apple dipping sauce was the star. It added the right amount of tartness and sweetness to the donut. The donut itself wasn't overly sweet, which I liked.
We dined in the courtyard, which was a very pleasant experience.
I will definitely return.
Vegetarian options: The farm box is all veggies and fruits. The Banh Mi has crispy tofu as a protein option. I really want to try that. Also, there are other vegetarian options available.
Parking: We came for late lunch on a Wednesday, missing the lunch crowd. Parked right in front of the restaurant.“
