We sat inside originally, but then decided to go sit outside because it was a beautiful day. The inside was clean and very quiet, the patio was full of people. Ambiance gets a 4/5. We were immediately met by a pleasant waitress, and when we moved she just came and found us. She was very informative, engaging, and knowledgeable, great service all around 4.8/5. I ordered the strength & my cousin the garlic wings and a margarita. The wings were some of the best I've ever had, fried to perfection and seasoned just right. A huge punch of garlic, which I really enjoy, so wings were 4.9/5. The vegetarian sandwich I ordered was so delicious, the pesto and garlic aioli really added flavor and the fresh warm bread really set it apart 4.8/9, only because the jalapeño was more spicy than pickled. Overall; I rate this place a 4.7/5

All the food sounded good on the menu. I had the sapphire which was supposed to be hot but it wasn't at all for me. The gem was almost like a Philly cheese steak. Both were really good. The fries seasoning is really good and the onion rings were good as well. I got a mango lemonade drink that I really enjoyed. Cool place to watch sports and grab a good bite to eat. Now go and enjoy, you can thank me later.

My go-tos are the Cali-style burrito with asada and the Xingones nachos (with extra cheese). Good quality ingredients and portions that are generous enough that I almost always have leftovers.

The food is great, my friends and I shared LA galbi ribs and a 8 piece chicken. One thing I loved was that you could get half and half of any number of fried chicken. We got half soy garlic wings and half supreme wings. I don't do spice but the supreme wasn't too too bad and they were well worth it. The food was promptly delivered and they checked on us every so often. I enjoyed the food quite a bit and would be back.

I love that they're open late on the weekends and I'm willing to make the trek out from SF just for their sando and fries. There is typically street parking (no lot) right in front of across the street. You can order at the front or through Toast to skip the line. There are plenty of seats (think elementary school outdoor seating) outside that fit 4 people. The best part of Hotboys is definitely the employees though. They're super friendly, especially our guy, Shy! Shy's the best :)

The name of this place makes me laugh. It's fun to say and a nice stop of the way to Oakland Pride!…read moreNot sure if it's always this way, but there was no indoor seating; it was only outdoor picnic benches along the outside with ordering at the door. It's very casual. Service was ok, but they seemed a little confused or maybe new? Anyway, I got the bone-in quarter dark chicken, medium heat level since I wasn't sure how hot they would go. The bright red chicken comes in a box atop white bread and pickles. The crust (it broke off in chunks) was delicious and not too spicy, and the chicken fresh and tender. I also got a side of greens which was tasty and decent, though not a standout dish. I would definitely come here again.

Just read Dominic B's (Yelp CM) review that you were closing your tap room, so rush over!…read more Cut and pasted from their website: "Dokkaebi (도깨비), the mysterious, shape-shifting creatures found throughout Korean folklore." Quality/Quantity - You have been on my list to visit since you opened. I drink your beers in most (if not all) the local Korean Restaurants in the Bay. And at some non Korean restaurants. Today I enjoyed your Chuseok Porter, well a few of them... This by far was my favorite of all the beers I drank and tasted here. Also tasted the following: Dokkaebi IPA - Light and refreshing. Lemongrass Witbier - I can almost taste the lemongrass, another light and refreshing beer. K-Beer - Again, another light and refreshing beer. My daughter had the Calamansi & Tea Lager - This actually had more flavor then all the beers I drank except my porter. Lastly, my daughter noticed the Hazy IPA, Hazy Seoul. But I could not/did not want to drink any more. I guess I might have to rush over again before they close. For our snacks we got: KFC, Korean Fried Chicken - Not as authentic as I would have preferred. Gimmari - Wow, a home run. It helped that I have never had this before! My daughter says we will go to K-Town next time we are in LA and she will introduce me to Korean "street food." Looking forward to it. Atmosphere - Small local brewery. They also own the "kitchen" and storage area next door, see pictures. Metered street parking, but not a problem on a Sunday. And free meter parking on a Sunday. Shared restrooms with the other businesses in the building, you need a key. See pictures. Open 4 days a week (well only for one more week..) from Thursday to Sunday. See Yelp or their website. Service - Counter service, just okay. Price - $44 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2020 and here since 2023. I am sorry to hear your tap room is closing, but I do admit it has taken me over a year to visit.... So I understand.

The people here are always extremely welcoming and patient with me as I slowly read through their beer selection. And their beer selection--absolutely amazing. As an Asian-American, I never thought I'd see Kimchi and Yuzu flavors for beer. Obviously, the first time we came here, we had to get flights to try all of their flavors. Whenever I have group events where I have to bring a pack of beer, I always try to bring a pack of dokkaebier :)

Since I was driving, I asked her to look up some local places and she scrolled upon Square Pie Guys, read the ratings, so it was ago. We found a parking spot right in front and walk through the double doors. I don't remember if we were greeted or not, but that's OK, because the pizza was better than the person who took our order. We: A pepperoni She: Organic lemonade Me: Root-beer We were both able to get through one slice and a couple bites of the second slice, so the rest came home with us. Pizza was really good. I loved the crunchiness around the edges, and the ingredients were fresh, just like Dougie! Ambience was super chill, as we were the only customers in there, a couple drivers came to pick up delivery items and then two other patrons came in when we were heading out. I might hit them up next time I'm in the area if I'm craving pizza, despite of being a little pricey.! Overall, I'm giving this place 4 thumbs up for the pizza cause I'm in L7 too!
