“The food is amazing! My go to order is Shrimp Fried Rice with an order of Egg rolls and a mango tea! The service is great, everyone is kind and greets you when you come in! It's usually not packed when i go, but it definitely should be because it's great here! The only issue is the parking spaces, it's limited but if you're lucky you'll find some, close by!“
“We tried chicken and pork. Both were soooo good. The taste is picante and the prices are affordable. We live in Walnut Creek but ready to come here again and again only for this place. The guys who work here also were so welcoming and polite. Hope you would have many many loyal customers!“
“The food is creative and delicious! Dad and mom work the front of the restaurant and they are absolute gems: attentive, friendly and they make the dining experience special and fun. The food options were tantalizing and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back!The experience would be even better if the interior looked more like earlier photos (less cluttered and more stylish).Vegetarian options: There are some options available.Parking: No dedicated parking, street parking only.“
“Last day of my holiday we had lunch at Saucy Oakland - and we thought it was very, very good! So you can't say much about the service, because you order at the counter and pick up the food at the counter. But both of our dishes were freshly prepared, were normal portions to fill you up and tasted excellent. The sake flight was also great to try out the different sakes. We were happy not to have stopped a few blocks away at Swans Market and chosen Saucy instead! Best recommendation!“
“Very good Korean fare in a laid back setting. Ollei serves up tasty late night grub and vibes in Russian Hill. The grill is burning, the meat is cooking, soups are boiling, the drinks are flowing and kpop is popping, this is a good Korean restaurant in San Francisco. Tasty food at an affordable price and where you can also go to throw a couple back as well. It was the perfect place to warm up on a cold SF night, food and drink wise. I’m definitely coming back to try various other dishes. Very good.Kid-friendliness: Not really“
“A unique brunch spot. I had the pandan waffle and fried chicken which was tasty. The waffle was cold and a wee bit soggy but good flavour. Someone else had the bo luc lac and the beef was super duper tender and juicy but also very sweet. The shrimp Benedict was quite good and the chicken sammie was good but the star of that was the French fries they were spectacular. The service was friendly and good. There's no atmosphere but still a place I'll go back to.“
“Can't stop my craving from coming here for their wings. Another day after work with coworkers which 212 definitely don't disappoint. Cool workers and owners. Fun place to relax and relieve stress. Unless your allergic to fun, fried chickens, people and alcohol ... better you stay home lol J/K. Overall a must check out place for all that loves food, fun, alcohol etc.Peace out ...wink!“
“Such a great spot. Been here a few times and the owner is super friendly, clearly cares about every detail. Food is amazing, everything I’ve had has been awesome. It’s the kind of place I really hope sticks around, they deserve it. Highly recommended.“
“Best Thai food in the Bay Area. The Khao Soi soup is an explosion of flavor and so delicious. The way they package it to go, your soup and chicken stay hot and your crispy bits stay crispy it's magical. Every time family visits me here, I order from here. The staff is also incredible. I will continue to frequent this place regularly until I leave the Bay.“
“Wow this place is insanely good I actually feel compelled to leave a review. The roti is perfectly and flavorful, the dipping sauces and root curry was spiced just right and flavor level. The service was fantastic, above and beyond for casual dining. Nothing was too oily for my liking. The music and ambiance was super chill. Definitely a hidden gem not to be missed.“
“I can honestly say if you go here you will not at all regret it! The atmosphere is super nice, the staff is amazing, and the food! The food was absolutely amazing and between the 3 of us we ordered way too much but everything was delicious, definitely worth the trip!“
“Super quick and delicious meal! My friend and I walked in on a Friday after early cocktails nearby and were immediately greeted & seated! We ordered the chicken dumplings, wagyu dumplings, chicken chow mein and stir fried string beans. The green beans were the star of the show! They were amazing. We also really enjoyed the chow mein. Next time I'd like to get a different type of dumpling, as the chicken dumplings were just okay.“
“We ordered the spicy chicken wings, the fried fish and a noodle dish. All were very good. My only complaint was that the fish didn't have more meat on it, since we were sharing. But for one person it would be fine. Very friendly service and a nice atmosphere as wellParking: We went during the super bowl so it was relatively easy to find street parking, but it would be difficult on a normal night“
“Asaka is a delightful addition to the North Berkeley restaurant scene! The food is delicious, the service impeccable, and the owner generously donated a few platters of sushi ? to the Japanese American Experience event we held last month at St. Mary Magdalen Church. Come check it out!Vegetarian options: Honestly, I don't know if there are main dishes for vegetarians, but their edamame was delicious!Kid-friendliness: I think children would enjoy the food here.“
“A fusion restaurant with fun dishes and flavors. We were a group of three and ended up splitting the chicken and waffles, hot pot, and Gatai (Thai breakfast with minced chicken and egg). Everything is really tasty with a slight Thai twist to it. Our favorite was the chicken and waffles as their waffles tasted more like Belgian waffles.They have a bottomless brunch mimosa which can be great if you want to get the party started early. But it also means it can get a bit loud. Their non-alcoholic drinks also looked good. I had the Thai iced tea which was a bit on the sweeter side but just the jolt I needed.I’d come back if I was in the area, esp for the waffles.“
“I wish I had taken a photo because it was prepared in an appealing way, seriously food porn. Now let me tell you... the poke I got with tuna and hamachi was off the charts. So fresh! I had chunky pieces of sushi till my last bite and I only got the small size, the portions were perfect. The sides were delicious, I got the Mac salad and edamame. The shoyu, ponzu and yuzu sauces were so tasty. I also got the spicy mayo and it was perfectly spiced. All of the toppings were fresh as well and they were not cheap on the avocado! The service was fantastic from the moment I walked in. They were busy getting orders ready but did not miss a beat when greeting me. Super helpful in checking in while I was reading the menu and deciding. They didn't forget to check in again and had perfect timing when realizing I was ready to order. Answered all of my questions, I didn't have too many questions but the responses were quick and descriptive. Everyone was attentive, polite and friendly. The ambiance was bright, energetic and perfect for lunch. I came in just before lunch started. Enjoyed my meal at the restaurant and had to give compliments because I was very impressed!!“
“Totally empty on a Tuesday afternoon at lunch time, but that is not a bad thing. The food is pretty average fare, again not a bad thing. The curry with chicken and rice is pretty good. If you stop by, be sure to also stop on at the cable car museum a block over.“

“They are located in the Ferry Building and offer seating both inside and outside with a view of the bay. I recently tried their chicken wings, which were so delicious—I highly recommend them! In general, their food is always delicious, and the service is very good.“
“The best service ever -- servers are extremely accommodating to all food allergies! Most dishes can be made gluten-free, and they can omit garlic and onions from many dishes as well if you have an allium intolerance. It's delicious too!!Dietary restrictions: Tons of gluten-free options!“
“Very delicious authentic Asian cuisine. The pork and duck combo were magnificent. The owner/operator is super nice. Hong Kong ice milk tea is a great sipper on a hot day. I'm not sure about seating, but I took it to go, so it wasn't an issue. Very reasonable prices.“
“5 Spiced Kitchen is conveniently located in Montclair and the food is delicious! Our party of six enjoyed our shared entrees which included seafood, beef, potstickers and veggie spring rolls. 5SK has a full bar as well. Prices were a bit high- I'd say $$$ on a scale of 1-4. However, we will go back and enjoy again!“
“Wanted to leave positive feedback for Steven. Top notch customer service despite being the entire front of the house on his own. It’s obvious the guy loves his job and also knows precisely what he’s doing. Respect for hustle and also for going beyond the call of duty for many of the tables you were responsible for. Cheers!“
“Hands down one of the best Indian pizzas I've ever had. We ordered the Spicy Bread, Chicken Pizza Masala & Mango Monsoon. I felt like I couldn't eat it fast enough! Definitely worth the food coma. Ty for the good vibes and delicious noms ??“
“We ordered and ate something completely different, but it was delicious and fresh :) Communication was difficult, but it's worth tasting the real Chinese culture and atmosphere. It doesn't look like it, but it's really worth it.“
“There was a missing item from my delivery (I think it was a delivery driver problem and not the store's fault), and the manager Samantha was AMAZING she went above and beyond to make sure things were fixed. I really appreciate it, she called me multiple times to make sure the situation was “
“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.“
“Clean modern atmosphere Tofu vegetarian optionsGood healthy optionsOrder Mexican oriented dishes like burritos and tacos and they're delicious. I had ordered a Veggie Bowl and was disappointed with the lack of flavor and freshness. Service was prompt and courteous.We will return again.“
“We came here for bottomless brunch and drinks and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had! David was our waiter and gave us some of the best service I've ever had! The music was amazing as well and everyone in the restaurant was singing and jamming along! It felt like I was at a club or karaoke, singing along to classic tunes, but with unlimited food and drinks! I will definitely come back again! Salud!“
“We used to LOVE Giin Thai on Shattuck, and these are the same people! We had the Khao soi, string beans, thom kha chicken and it was all so delicious. So happy to have found this place. Will definitely be coming back. ?Vegetarian options: Khao soi, egg plant, string beans, and moreParking: Their parking lot is small (8-10? spots), but we've always found a spot in it, and there is street parking too.“
“As a Korean person, I love this place. The menu is small but everything is amazing! The half and half noodles are my favorite, best of both worlds! The Tang-Soo-Yuk and friend chicken is always made fresh, so it takes some time, but totally worth the wait. The honey and cheese fried chicken is so delicious that we order 2 and take 1 of them home. Reheats in the air fryer perfectly!!“
“Oh my gosh! This was some of the best Chinese food i’ve had in a while. It was amazing and I loved the ban ban noodles! The service was amazing. They pour your water for you, put food on your plate, ect. I loved the atmosphere and lighting! I’m very specific with my lighting, and it wasn’t too bright but not too dark.Kid-friendliness: I am a kid! And they are so sweet and give you a nice smile.“
“I'm not even kidding when I say the chicken on the BBQ chicken sandwich is the best chicken I've ever had on a sandwich ever. It was so juicy and the sandwich was incredible. I cannot wait to come back. I cannot recommend highly enough!“
“Recommend:-Peking Duck with Kumquat Glaze, Traditional Condiments, 5 Sesame Pockets 芝- #1 dimsum- Crispy-Skin Roasted Pork Belly Cubes, 'Siu Yuk"-Char Siu BBQ Pork " Dutch Crunch" Baked Buns-Hong Kong Wok-Fried Egg Noodles-Wok Seared Filet Mignon 'Steak Ko,' Snow PeasMy fav Chinese in the area. The service was great and food is awesome! Want to go back try other menu.“
“A solid poke place that my friend fell in love with. I am not super crazy about this place but I have to admit that when I come to Berkeley and look for a healthy and delicious food, I check this place first. There is not a lot of options for poke but who wants many options when you know that the top two choices are the best. The mango in salmon poke is a clear fun twist and the squid in tuna is great too. The price is reasonable given the quality of the fish and other ingredients.“
“First time, it was a great experience. The brightness of the business color was cool as I rode past They had the garage doors open and I noticed they have a nice long bar in the back area of the place. I parked and walked in to see the huge bright menu. They must known I was blind lol ? but I never been in and stood there hungry and intimidated by this cool big menu that sounds so great when you're hungry, everything sounded good, until a few orders came out and the gentleman nicely explained what they were and I got the rice bowl with the pork, with fried egg was fire ? it just enough to satisfy my appetite and I didn't need to take anything home. It was just enough, very tasty with the little interesting salad. I don't know what it was, but it was damn good, check my pictures.“
“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.“
“I recently visited United Dumplings in Oakland this past weekend and I can confidently say that it was a great dining experiences. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm smiles and efficient service. The restaurant itself is modern and cozy, creating the perfect atmosphere for a casual lunch or dinner. The dumplings were incredible. Each one bursting with flavor and made with the freshest ingredients. The menu offers a variety of options, from classic steamed pork dumplings to more unique options. But the dumplings are not the only star of the show. The other dishes we tried were equally impressive. The beef noodle soup was rich and hearty, and the noodles were cooked to perfection. Beyond the food, the service at United Dumplings was exceptional. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They were quick to suggest dishes and offer recommendations, making our dining experience even better.“
“Ample veggie options. Quick service, good food. We didn't have to wait for seating. Ordered and got the food within ten minutes. The servers were nice and friendly, they were able to suggest alternatives for dietary restrictions. I'd like to go again and try some other items on the menu.Vegetarian options: You can ask the server and they will suggest alternatives for your dietary restrictions, including veggie options.“
“Incredible experience, delicious food, fantastic atmosphere. Big thanks to the entire Vanessa’s team for making tonight’s event a special one. It couldn’t have been better!We had a group of 20 for a birthday party. Vi created a special menu for us. From the salad to the prawns, the garlic short ribs, to the garlic crab noodles, everything was impressive. They were even able and happy to accommodate some dietary restrictions.Again, thank you to the entire Vanessa’s team!Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian and pescatarian optionsDietary restrictions: They were cognizant of dietary restrictionsParking: Free street parking after 6p“
“stumbled across this place one night looking for a quick bite and ended up spending the entire night there instead of our original plans and loved it so much, we went back a week later and are going to book the upstairs venue for my partners bday next month!Where do i even begin! the community kitchen concept is inspiring and revolutionary and i’ve seen them feed people who are unable to afford their meals multiple times as well as customers paying more than suggested on their sliding scale menu to cover the cost of others. it’s such a beautiful and noble form of mutual aid and i really hope it’s successful!Dora at the counter took such good care of us and the food was DELISH! the level of care and service and the love the food is made with makes you feel like you’re eating a home cooked meal. Dora’s energy was so infectious and bright and she ended up preparing us tofu and mushroom adobo and a dino nugget bowl with an egg and rice that i’m still thinking about. the second time we went, the menu had changed and i can’t recommend the coco mojo potatoes and birthday cake bibingka any more highly! the only downside is they’ve been out of the lumpia both times i’ve gone and i’m dying to try it! GREAT vegan and vegetarian options but proportions aren’t the biggest so order one of everything!If you haven’t been to an event at the speakeasy-style Baba’s House, you’re missing out on one of the most unique cozy-night-OUT experiences in the east bay. the living room-esque lounge and majong den has the charm of a house party with the excitement of a venue. We ended up wandering into an open jam sesh with local musicians halfway through the night, my partner couldn’t help but join them. the walls are lined in yummy asian snacks and there’s a big fridge full of beverages with some of the best non-alcoholic options i’ve seen + beer, wine, and a bar for cocktails. It’s so fun to cozy up on the couch and experience live music 6 ft in front of you and a sensory HEAVEN of ambient lighting. The owners Jenn and Alan are so welcoming and make perfect hosts for the various events that happen in the space. while the space upstairs is not ada accessible, they helped carry my partners wheelchair up and down the stairs which was very kind.We can’t wait to attend many more ever and in the space and throw our own event there next month!Vegetarian options: half the menu is vegetarian/vegan!“
“Came here for a quick lunch with my team before an offsite. It was my first time, and upon first entering I immediately loved the vibe! It was so clean and welcoming with the bright decor. Since we came around 11:30 is was empty - which was perfect since we didn't feel pressure to order. Prices also weren't too bad from what I could see! I ended up ordering the Tempura Crunch Roll from the Japan section since I wanted something a bit light. I personally thought it was okay, but wouldn't order it again. I do admire the staff though - they were friendly and took dietary restrictions seriously! I have a coworker who has a gluten intolerance and when she asked about the ingredients to make sure she was able to have them, they were more than happy to check the ingredients list. They even circled back to make extra sure the sauces were okay for her to have. I would definitely come back next time I need lunch while I'm at the office to try the other dishes!“
“Stopped in for lunch at noon on a Tuesday. I was surprised I was the only one in the restaurant. I sat at the sushi bar. Kenny my waiter was very friendly. He brought the menus and a large bottle of iced water. He told me to take my time and let him know when I was ready to order.They had both their regular menu and a lunch special menu. I chose the Warrior Roll which Kenny stated that was his favorite. I watched the Chef carefully make my roll and torch the Salmon. The roll was large and very tasty. I would recommend this roll.Menu pricing was a little high on the entrees and bento boxes compared to other high quality sushi establishments. Pricing on the rolls were comparable to other establishments..“
“Super fun lunch with a friend who introduced me to this restaurant in the Ranch 99 complex.We shared the salt and pepper tofu, Sichuan style twice cooked pork bacon, spicy garlic eggplant, crispy noodle chicken and pan fried chive turnover.Everything was super fresh and steaming hot. The tofu fried to perfection and soft & silky inside.We agreed to try item we had never had before and the twice cooked pork bacon and crispy noodle chicken were two of those items. The pork was very flavorful with the perfect heat level, and the crispy noodles under the layer of delicious chicken, mushrooms and fresh Vegis lent the perfect texture. The chive turnover was a fun dish.Our server, and everyone at the was friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back.Two things to know, parking can be a challenge as it is a busy area (there are multiple restaurants and shops in the complex, plus Ranch 99) and if you pay in cash, you get a free mini ice cream.“
