Tapas Restaurants near San Leandro, CA

“1st time there. I have the pig feet soup noodles, the meat is tender n marinated perfectly. My father have the Hainan chicken rice plate; also good. We have the pumpkin fried mochi thingy. ( IDK wat it's called) . I loved that one. The place is pretty crowded for a weekday lunch. Kind of stuffy in there. Will be back.“

“A small food menu didn't disappoint with big flavors and lovely presentation. Service was great and the bar makes solid drinks. Prices were a little high ($9 for a side of sweet potato friend, $4.50 for regular) especially for portions size, but quality was good. This won't be a regular spot for food but I'd definitely come back to try again.“

“Not a huge fan of the seating layout. I sat on the left side to avoid the loud chatter of people but that meant being on a hard bench with uninteresting decor. Empanadas were wonderful, the ceviche with coconut milk was a pleasant surprise. I wanted to try the arepa but it seemed like the portion was tiny. The chicharron was very flavorful!“

“Food was perfect. Spicy and tasty and salty and everything you want for enjoying with a cocktail. The drinks were all unique and tropical and delicious and I wish I could have tried them all. The ambiance and the staff were just awesome. Thank you!“

“Just amazing. Pop-up street food doesn’t get better than this.“

“Their food is absolutely amazing in taste and beautiful in presentation. I love how the menu varies by week, it makes it exciting to keep going back. I recommend this spot to anyone visiting the Bay Area, it’s 100% worth the drive out of San Francisco, I promise!

And of course, you MUST order their snails (they have this year around, so don’t worry)!! You will not regret it. ❤️ 10/10“

“Super delicious 👍 I never eat Japan food super good like this before.“

“Pretty good food. I think we will go back“

“I was planning on eating at Belly for lunch not realizing they’d moved, so I decided to try the new place out. I did not regret it!

The food was great, the service was pleasant, and the vibe was very chill. The woman who served us was happy to answer any questions we had about the menu (I have a shellfish allergy, so this is important for me in particular).

I ended up having the curry. The veggies were perfectly cooked and the flavor was on point. Chicken was still moist and the rice was fluffy.

Will definitely be returning.“

“Mamy of the tapas are outstanding. I would particularly mention the beef cheeks, the tocino, the fabada, the scallops. Some are, to me, just OK, such as the albóndigas or the bimi. The croquetas are what they are everywhere: they are not my favorites but they are croquetas. The point, though, is that it is possible to create a great meal! The service is wonderful. The Sunday eve music is really fabulous and worth the trip.“

“Strong cider, strong playlist, staffed by legends.“

“Love this place! Wine and tinned fishes what more could you ask for. Their selection of tinned fish is vast and I love how many different types and flavors there are. They also had some nice non-tinnned fish, empanadas, burrata and spreads. The perfect accompaniments for wine! Everything came with so much warm bread. We probably ordered too much, but no regrets.

They are dog friendly and the service was great! I saw they do popups sometimes so I'll have to check those out. Can't wait to go back.“

“Bomb Digs!! Great staff and owner. Food was so good. Not one bad dish.“

“Enjoy the atmosphere and the tasty food !“

“If you're in the mood for a great night out, this bar is a hidden gem that delivers in both food and atmosphere. As soon as you walk through the door, you're greeted by a warm, inviting ambiance. The lighting is soft but not too dim, the décor is cozy yet stylish, and the sound level strikes a perfect balance — lively enough to feel energizing, but quiet enough to carry on a conversation without shouting.

The food is what truly sets this place apart. While many bars serve standard snacks or pre-packaged appetizers, this one takes its menu seriously. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared and packed with flavor. The appetizers, including hummus and pita, or seasoned steak or chicken skewers are perfect for sharing over drinks.

The bar staff is friendly and knowledgeable, happy to recommend drinks based on your preferences or suggest food pairings. The cocktail list is creative and the beer selection is varied, making it easy to find something that suits your taste.

What makes this bar truly special, though, is its welcoming atmosphere. The staff makes an effort to connect with patrons, and it’s clear that regulars are made to feel like family. Whether you’re there for a casual drink, a light meal, or a night out with friends, this bar hits all the right notes. It’s a place that feels like a home away from home — comfortable, fun, and full of great vibes.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious food, a great drink, and a place where they can relax and enjoy the company of others!“

“Today David helped me and he was fantastic. He worked so efficiently and did it warmly and with a smile. It’s service like this that keeps me coming back to a place. I can’t wait for my next travels at the Oakland airport so I can visit again. Outstanding service.“

“Excellent costumer service love their drinks and happy hour. Food is delicious I recommend it to have drinks !“

“Mixed crowd 25+. Drinks were definitely worth it. A few people got up to dance, mainly a bar lounge.Dj was awesome. Food choices were meh 😐, however, what I ordered was okay. I'd recommend this spot for a crowd that wants to chill and enjoy music.“

“Always a great time! congrats“

“I’ve visited Co Nam twice so far and really enjoyed both experiences. The food is excellent, with some uniquely creative dishes. I’ve never had ribs covered in sesame seeds before, and they were surprisingly delicious. The curry is a personal favorite.

I also appreciated the great conversation with Daniel, the bartender, who’s incredibly knowledgeable about a wide range of drinks.

I’d definitely go again!“

“The FOOD. The FOOD. The FOOD. The FOOD.“

“First time there…food and drinks amazing.. will definitely go back..👍🏽“
