Everything was super organized, the event coordinators were great on communication and it was so nice getting to meet all the other talented small business owners! The venue has free parking across the street and the bathrooms inside the building are very clean. Actually, the entire venue is very clean! Looking forward to doing another event here in the future!

Heard about this "Meet and Eat" Fil-Am Bay Area Popup on FB as my sister follows The Chinita Baker and heard they were having an event at the Amtrack Station in Hayward...where? Didn't know it existed and called the Capitol Corridor off Meekland. Who knew? Variety of food vendors (20+) from pork and chicken skewers, pancit, lumpia, plenty of stands with fresh fruit drinks, desserts like flan, Sans Rival cake and shaved ice! This was my first visit to this wonderful event with mainly food vendors with a couple of craft stands like jewelry and soaps. Now I remember why they say never shop while hungry as we ended up being overzealous and buying stuff for creating our own buffet! I'll just think of it as supporting small business! Some yummy stands: GRILLED BBQ and FRIED :: GIM Belly - Get In My Belly bbq - Filipino bbq ribs, grilled pork belly, Hawaiian garlic shrimp, chicken inasal - we shared the bbq ribs and they were so tender and delicious with added sauce! Wonderful! 3 ribs with rice $13 - 5 stars! : : Enee Can Cook - variety of items from Filipino- style lasagne (sweeter like the spaghetti), caldereta, shepherds pie - mashed potato with the same type of seasoned ground beef as the lasagne - yummy 4 stars : : Just N Joy - only stand offering lumpia, chicharrones, "ruffles", and seasoned chicken feet - lumpia was pretty standard but hit the spot - 4 stars : : Hipilito's Kitchen - only stand serving lechon roll, pancit palobok, pork binagoongan (shrimp paste) - lechon was juicy with that crispy skin...not as crunchy as I would like as it's sitting in a warmer with the cover on - 4 stars : : Ian and Janette's Pork Skewer - $1.50 each! Well seasoned and juicy - 4 stars! D E S S E R T S Most ordered by sister and sampled since I'm not big on Asian desserts :( : : Baked by Cara - pandan crinkle cookies : : M + K Street Eats - Filipino version of the Vietnamese drink called che be mau with coconut milk (no shaved ice) : : Mara's Delicacies - bought some flan and a fresh cantaloupe drink with shredded cantaloupe : : Marie's Kitchen - SansRival cake - this was good! This event is a great way to sample a variety of Filipino eats while supporting small business. Venue at the Capitol Corridor (Hayward Amtrak station) is new to me with a great setup...unfortunately, I heard not to leave your car during the day for extended period as 50-50 chance you'll get your windows smashed as area is not monitored. Sad as this a great station to travel from San Jose to Sacramento For this event, you don't have to worry as plenty of people around and a great addition to an area that hopefully is slowly changing. Note: Event is grab and go - tables are not available but bring a small tote to carry all your goodies!

Loved my experience at Sealed With a Spark! I've had my original pieces for years, so I decided to…read morecheck out their new location, and it was beautiful. As someone who lives in SF, Pier 39 was actually such a fun and unexpected adventure. I love jewelry, but I never remember to put it on, so permanent jewelry is perfect for me. This time I got a bracelet engraved with my dog's name and her birthstone, which made it feel even more special. I love having something meaningful that I can wear every day without having to think about it. Definitely recommend whether you're treating yourself or looking for a unique experience around the city.

If you're considering permanent jewelry, Sealed With a Spark is hands-down the only studio you…read moreshould be going to. From the moment you walk in, the experience feels elevated, personal, and genuinely fun. The jewelry is stunning, high-quality, and crafted with incredible attention to detail, and the staff is knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about what they do. Every single employee is upbeat, welcoming, and absolutely hilarious - it honestly feels like you're hanging out with your best friends instead of being in a studio. They make permanent jewelry feel celebratory and special, not intimidating. I got my first permanent bracelet in February, and it's still in perfect, mint condition months later. Despite having a diverse lifestyle - sports, lounging, everyday wear, corporate workdays, and even black-tie events - my jewelry still looks brand new. Nothing snags, nothing irritates, and it seamlessly goes with everything. Saying this jewelry is versatile is a massive understatement. I now have SEVEN pieces from Sealed With a Spark: four bracelets, two rings, and one necklace. One bracelet is a matching piece with my mom (pictured during Thanksgiving, which makes it even more special), and another features a custom engraved charm with an ampersand (&) as a meaningful tribute to my dad and brother. The customization options are incredible, and the team is extremely patient and helpful, especially if you're indecisive like me. They made every single visit effortless and enjoyable - yes, all seven of them! Clearly, I'm obsessed - and for good reason. If you're searching for permanent jewelry, custom engraving, meaningful gifts, or a fun experience with lasting quality, look no further. Sealed With a Spark truly sets the standard and is absolutely the best choice you can make.
