“This is a must go place. It was our first time but we can't recommend this place enough. Amazingly delicious food, very good portions, great vibe/atmosphere nice touches, nicely designed. The owner welcomed us and served us, and we had a very nice conversation too. Please guys go and visit to keep this place up and running. What would we do without a place like this in the bay.“

“Visited 21MAR2024 - Yes, Lawd! Since this was my first time visiting. LuLu, Jackie's sister, explained how things work. Ordering and paying are done online using a QR code at your table. LuLu explained that no one would come to the table, except to bring your order. She also pointed out where the leftover containers were located if needed.I ordered the two meat with two sides plate. I selected fried chicken and fried fish for my two meats. I ordered collard greens and black-eyed peas for my sides. Two whole chicken wings and two fish filets along with the sides came out in no time. The wings were good. I didn't specifically ask to have them fried hard, the way I like my wings. I could've added a note in my online order. I won't make an issue since the wings were done. I'm not sure what type of fish was served. I meant to ask but forgot. The fish was fried right though. The greens and black-eyed peas were cooked the way I cook them. I was in the area for work. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area again. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pics.“

“Fired chicken was hella good. We got the chicken and waffles and the spicy honey chicken from their food truck. The waffles aren't your regular ol waffles, they're different ? they tasted like they used a cinnamon wheat batter...overall the food was bomb“

“The main star of this place is the grilled G-pie. Contrary to what it sounds like it is actually fried and then grilled while they slather it with their special, slightly spicy BBQ sauce. This is actually hard to find elsewhere if you didn't know. The other bento I recommend is the fried squid.The price of the bentos is very affordable while the appetizers, on the other hand, are not. Particularly the mushroom skewers. The taro balls with the golden egg yolk inside is my favorite of the snacks.The drinks are decently priced and I do find some of them most refreshing with the fried stuff.“
