Suggestions for Soba Restaurant near Oakland

Daniel G. • December 1, 2018This is exactly what a soba restaurant is. The grind the buckwheat and hand make the noodles here, the tempura is PERFECT, and the vibe is exactly what you'd expect from mixing Oakland and Japan.

Jovic D. • April 18, 2018Fantastic place! unforgettable nights to see legendary jazz and blues musicians/singers.

Jesse A. • October 27, 2014Absolutely incredible veggie food. Eat here. Trust me. Everything we ordered was great and we orders a lot. Only place in the Bay Area that can compare is Garden Fresh in Palo Alto.

Nino E. • November 9, 2014Crab Benedict and Bloody Mary's are excellent at this quirky little ex-brothel. Never too long of a wait, can get a little cramped inside but there's ample outdoor seating.

Marie S. • November 5, 2013Finally a superb restaurant in Oakland.

BARE M. • October 17, 2011We love the Northeast- a red flannel hash made with beets.

Shindō Nicholas S. • September 9, 2014They have a suspiciously cheap and amazingly delicious lunch menu. Love it!

_ • July 16, 2015Chitarra carbonara and marigold pappardelle are a must! Pasta here is amazing. If you're getting the pizza, add an egg. Wash it down with an old Cuban.

Claire • June 21, 2016The pupusas are delicious! Salvadorean breakfast platter is a must as well. Frijoles con crema y platanos is my favorite too!

Paula W. • April 14, 2010Try the Chirashi A (basically sashimi over rice, with shiso leaf, pickled vegetable and shaved daikon) - really fresh fish, lots of variety, and very photogenic for us foodspotters.

Wes Y. • February 10, 2012Great dumplings, good Cantonese food - and open till 2am :)

Glo • December 19, 2022Definitely tasty! Everything was so fresh, plump, and juicy. 🤤

Emily F. • November 7, 2015KQED's Bay Area Bites suggests their congee, or the roasted BBQ pork with rice, steamed greens and fried egg for any meal. Also the roast duck and bok choy.

Diana A. • March 27, 2018Attentive service, cozy atmosphere, delicious food. The bread, beef momo and eggplant stir fry were fantastic, wasn’t crazy about the curry.

John G. • April 16, 2011Everything is good here, and check out the wine & beer list too for some less common options.

Chicketha S. • November 13, 2011always get the #11.

Ronan F. • July 5, 2015Great Jewish deli eats. Usually stuff my face with latkes, pickles, pastrami and more pickles. Busy at weekends for brunch, but we'll worth a visit.

Mark D. • April 18, 2011The vegetarian combination is yummy and a good deal

Nenad S. • November 25, 2014Get chips and homemade salsa roja... Burrito, esta rico

Kelly K. • January 4, 2014the daikon puff cakes (daikon with ham) are a must!

Grace C. • January 21, 2019One of the better claypot rice restaurants in the Bay

Brian S. • January 10, 2017An extensive "usual suspects" menu. Cheap lunch plates. Best reason to come here is to eat selections from the many live seafood tanks. Think crab, lobster, whole fish, and squid.

Maddy C. • December 12, 2017Amazing view: One of the perks of this place. Wine is a bit pricey, but that rosè is absolutely tasty. The chips and dip has a bit of a plating issue...(can't access dip), but yummy nonetheless.

Brian S. • October 13, 2015Dim sum was a really fun way to introduce my little American kids to fairly authentic cuisine. Very friendly staff. Peking duck was super yummy. Really liked the thin noodles used in the chow mein.

Gaston O. • November 23, 2013#47 is a great dish... Vermicelli with barbecue pork and an egg roll... You would find a nice green salad with sprouts, mint and basil at the bottom.

Frank K. • October 7, 2015The house margarita was pretty good, had the mole poblano, was super excellent, so tasty.

Beau S. • April 27, 2013Don't miss the taxidermy Polar Bear just inside the entrance.

Sharif R. • April 7, 2010Best Bento Box in Oakland! HUGE!
