Royal Oxen Kitchen is the new IT spot in Hayward y'all! Hubby brought home 5 dishes (wagyu x 2,…read morepork belly x 2, and a Hennessy Chicken). Food was fresh, portions were generous, and most importantly everything was juicy and delicious. Don't sleep on this place and order through door dash, grub hub, or Uber eats. You can also walk in and order on the kiosk as well and try to meet the chef! Make sure you come earlier in the day or they will sell out. Let's break down the dishes: Hennessy Chicken: Glazed chicken thigh on a bed of rice with veggies and side salad. The chicken was moist, juicy, and full of flavor. Australian Wagyu Steak: Cooked perfectly medium rare on a bed of rice and veggies and served with a Chimichurri sauce that is to die for! I def wanted more sauce because it's too good. Caramelized Pork Belly + Eggs This is your mama's comfort food elevated on another level. Nice and peppery but also sweet. Quail eggs is a nice touch versus your traditional chicken egg. Lovely flavors and very homey. Definitely looking forward to trying the sea bass and other up and coming dishes being added to the menu!

Saw a new restaurant on my usual Uber eats / DoorDash search and wanted to try it! Glad I did…read morebecause it was amazing! We had the Hennessy chicken, braised pork belly and quail eggs, and Australian wagyu. All the portions were generous, flavorful, unique, and included rice and a side salad. The chicken was cooked to perfection finished with a sweet honey glaze that makes you coming back for more. The braised pork belly reminded me of mom's thit kho with an American twist. Sweet, flavorful, and sauced just right. The Australian wagyu was delivered and presented on a bed of lettuce, cooked to a perfect medium rare, finished with a savory brown sauce and included an Asian twist of chimmi churry. That combination melts in your mouth and the chimmi churry always keeps your taste buds entertained. Will be coming back for more !

We were feeling a smaller snack/light lunch and settled on musubis - a GREAT decision…read more You order through toast (should be linked above) and then they make your food fresh to order. They sent us directions to pick up in the back, but we got a little lost. Leonard, the owner, came out to find us and introduced himself and shared a little about the food and their projects. He was such a nice guy with big plans for the food! Into the food itself - The tuna mayo onigiri was STUFFED. There was so much flavor in every bite. I was a little cranky you have to order in twos but afterwards that first bite, I'm glad I had a whole one to myself! We got the Portuguese sausage with musubi and chili oil. The chili oil had a lot of heat and flavor to it! I don't recommend the chili oil if you're picturing a light spice because it packs a punch. But if you like the fire, highly recommend! My partners favorite was the classic teriyaki spam with unagi and avocado. I really enjoyed the portion sizing of each item - created a really perfect bite. The unagi had an extra smokiness to it. I think it's probably prepared in house/not supermarket unagi - the taste was quite different from that! The chicken lumpia was crispy and perfectly seasoned - not too salty and savory. The Thai chili sauce wasn't too spicy at all either. We'd definitely be back to try more!

This is a very long overdue review for Musubi Libre. I've been a fan of this business from the…read morebeginning. The musubi here are seriously amazing. The quality honestly reminds me of the kind of musubi you'd get in Hawaii, similar to places like Iyasume. Ever since trying musubi in Hawaii years ago, I've been hooked, and Musubi Libre is one of the very few places here that really gives me that same feeling/experience I've had. While the musubi are absolutely amazing, and it is their namesake, the Mrs. And I really like the onigiri! It's surprisingly hard to find truly good onigiri here in the US that lives up to the quality of the ones you'd get in Japan. Leonard, the owner clearly puts a ton of effort into each. He's definitely perfected his craft. The Mrs. and I have ordered from here casually many times before on our days off. We've tried the tuna, mentaiko, and ume. Mentaiko is my personal fave. The tuna is excellent too, and the ume has a classic salty-tangy flavor that's unique and refreshing. It's a great option for vegetarians as well. Recently, we ordered from Leonard to have onigiri catered for our daughter's birthday party. We got those 3 flavors. Originally, we just wanted something unique for the adults alongside the chicken nuggets and pizza we got for the kids. Man, we are so glad we did. The onigiri was a massive hit! People absolutely loved it, including guests who weren't necessarily huge into Japanese food or culture. They disappeared FAST! Like so fast I didn't get to eat one myself! This place is seriously a hidden gem in the East Bay. Definitely stop by, try the musubi and onigiri, and say hi to Leonard, who is genuinely one of the nicest people/owners you'll meet.

This is for the version & price point of Planted Table that existed in 2021/2022. (I stopped…read moreordering from them because my allergies were activated, and I needed to do an elimination diet. When I came back to them a couple years later, the price point had gone up & I was priced out.) The portion sizes were large. I think it was like $12-13/meal. 99% of the dishes were delicious. I was REALLY pleasantly surprised at the flavor & taste. I expected gentrified dishes. It was good! I was also specifically looking for meal delivery that generated less waste. Planter table delivered that. I got cool enough with my driver (and tipped well!) that he brought me a little thank you plant. I loved that I had the same driver each time. It was just a really pleasant experience overall. Nothing bad to say.

I am not vegan but this hits the spot and is the best meal service I have found. The food is still amazing and I'm happy to see the meal options have expanded, there's seasonal produce options and Acme bread, and now they post calorie information. They have family style option to get a bigger portion for those who have a family, or for me, to bring to a pot luck. They also have individual desserts and full size pies/cakes. Seriously - they have everything. They no longer offer wine for those who care. There are some additional pick up options, too, but I stick with Jack London Square on Wednesdays from 11:30-2:00. Pro tip: get the cookie dough!!!!! And the chili. And the breakfast burritos. And the bake at home pizza ........ $20 credit Referral code: QWC3D2MJ

It helps a lot if there is variety. I always look forward to the meals for the upcoming week. It also helps that their meals provide content transparency labels. You would know how much calories, protein, carbs and fat are in each meal. What also is great about Active Eats is that they deliver your food! It saves me time to do other things while waiting for the delivery. The food quality tastes good. Sometime it does not even look/taste like a prepped meal.
