Best of Oakland and Berkeley

"red curry is my favorite, if you like spice be sure to add the Thai chilis in fish sauce from the condiment caddy."

"beers, burgers and bench seating"

"Really vibrant (and loud) space. Indoor and outdoor seating. Solid cocktail menu and an excellent sangria. Spicy carrots and queso fundido were awesome starters. Roast chicken and duck mole verde were both fantastic. Fresh corn tortillas! Excellent tres leches."

"They only make a couple varieties per day so you buy what they have. There’s live music and a very active vibe here. "

"Pork Xiao Long Bao - Spicy! 🌶️ Green beans. "

"Great neighborhood spot, get the burger but all comfort food is good. Well stocked bar. Hard to do walk-ins without opting for counter seating. "

"Cozy, authentic Japanese decor. Great soba selection. Decent sake menu. Hot or cold options."

"I’m a big fan of the Al pastor burrito but they also have some great mole dishes. Grab the squeeze bottles of green and red salsa to make every bite extra special. "

"Lovely little spot on university with indoor and patio space. The first thing that hits you is the smell. It’s the most quintessential scent and knocked me back to childhood. Had the mushroom white pizza and spicy Caesar salad. "

"Honestly? The rice and beans are the highlight here."
