Came twice when they were supposed to be open. They were very closed both times.
Poor business ethics. I went out of my way to come here, drove for 35 minutes, just to see a "We're Closed" sign hanging on the door. I don't know how this is possible if they literally just opened. As a new comer to a land of abundant food competition, I would think that they would abide by their listed store hours more carefully.
Mother's Day special. Set Menu. Food was absolutely amazing!!! I recommend reservations. Such a small venu with amazing grindz!
Beef bowl is really good!!
Food is good but real highlight is 2nd floor!
So yummy. Changing menus. Fun snacks upstairs.
SF Chronicle, by Elena Kadvany:This new Oakland restaurant taps into Asian American nostalgia: snacks, mah-jongg and all.A small restaurant section downstairs serves gyoza, salted egg Caesar salads and other Asian-inspired food crafted by A.C Boral, a Filipino chef from Southern Califoria. On the second floor, black and blue UV lights create a club-like vibe. Shelves are stocked with a curated selection of Asian snacks, from crab chips and White Rabbit candy to chili crisp. In addition, there’s a mini art gallery, mah-jongg, a DJ booth and a live-streaming room. Customers can grab a drink and snack to eat downstairs or take it to go.Take giniling, a Filipino beef stew; here, it’s made vegan with plant-based Impossible meat and local vegetables. The gyoza are served with a house-made XO sauce and a chimichurri made from carrot tops. A chilled tofu salad is dressed with Boral’s spin on Thousand Island dressing, punched up with Korean gochujang and strawberries. The menu echoes local Asian American bakeries’ love affair with White Rabbit candy and Oakland bar Viridian’s nostalgic food, drinks and vibe.
The food is so intense.
