    Clandestina Cocina opened in the vendor space closest to the wall. Maybe YoYo Treat was once here…read more Stall has minor decor. E14th Eatery has more. Soft drums & vocal music in background. Single associate on duty, very helpful & courteous. Ordered, pd. Food ready in 10ish minutes. Offerings (Cuban): pan con (bread with), Para Picar (snacks), postres (desserts), bowls, beibidas(drinks) Bites: pan con lechon (15) -moist semi-juicy lechon pieces mixed with lettuce, tomato slices. Topped with freshly deep fried toothpick sized crunchy fries. -grilled buns too small to contain lechon et. al. resulting in some contents falling out. -pan con lechon had no spreads nor condiments, leaving a dryish taste. Another Cuban eatery prepped their Lechon the same. Sips: Mango limeade (5) -refreshing it was. Had a slushy quality. Obviously Made in house. Had a little ice, naturally slightly sweet? If not, very little sugar added. 4.5 stars Worthy! *3 parking spaces + 1 handicap space in rear. Some street parking.

    https://www.instagram.com/clandestina.cocina/profilecard/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==…read more This is a one amazing lady operation, where she makes super tasty cuban. The Cubano is definitely a must get. The lechon bowl breaks down that meat over rice, beans, plantains and more. Also got her amazing guava pastry, her flan and her home made guava ice cream as a topper that kicks it up a notch. Current popup is in a shared market space with two other small foodie business, so check those out too. https://maps.app.goo.gl/29XJX4wE3LBvkS3f9?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy Parking, sucks with busy street parking, but there is a community teen center 1 block south that has good amount of parking. Again, 1 person, very slow and intimate with asking chef about each item and you know it will be good. No rushing the good stuff. Yes, this is a must go back!

    Dumpling King is at the Bay Fair Farmers Market every Saturday. The few food vendors are clustered…read moretogether near the main building. No special decor. Just hanging signs & banners showing what edibles available & pricing. 3.5% credit card fee avoided by paying $. Female associate spoke English & a hint of Mandarin when I spoke Chinese. Lines are informal. Just ask a person standing around to see if they are in line. Repeat until u r the only person standing in front of the order station. Offerings (Chinese): Dim Sum, Pancakes. Potstickers, Steamed Buns. Many choices within each bracket. All ready to go, cooked, ready to eat. Bites: Shrimp Har Gow/Pork Siu Mai (6/$10) mixed as only 4 Shrimp Har Gow available -size smaller than ones in Brick & Mortar stores. Each looked similar as if machine made. -steamed hot, ready to eat. Got Chili Sauce which wasn't extra spicy. Something added to tame hotness. -Shrimp Har Gow tasted slightly sweet from a mix of shrimp parts. Didn't have a crunchy sensation. This & Pork Siu Mai tasted freshly made. -Pork Siu Mai was all ground pork that was steamed. Maybe some green onions, soy sauce added. Definitely no shrimp like the B & M version. Quick, courteous, efficient service. Some tables for seating available at entrance of Farmers Market. 4 stars Worthy:YMMV Quantity: ok. Smaller pieces than usual. Quality: abbreviated version, still ok.

    We got the combination of shu mai and shrimp dumplings (3 pieces each), one scallion pancake, and…read morethe chive pancake. They ran out of scallion pancakes but offered to sell me a scallion and chive pancake for $10 (which was not a deal and they should have accounted for changing my desired order). The dumplings were decent but we don't think better than a dim sum place. However, they did not taste frozen and were fresh. The scallion pancake was a little too cooked -- it was crunchy but not moist on the inside. The chive pancake was delicious -- like one giant dumpling with chives, glass noodles, and tofu pieces. The outside of the chive pancake could have been crispier. Overall, the food was good, though a little pricy for a food stand, at $21 for everything. If you pay card, they ask for a tip option.

After a couple of hours sight seeing, we took a wrong turn and ended up in this town and stumbled onto this beauty. It's like a new generation of Thai food for us. Not at all what we're used to or have ever tasted. It was great! A very intimate, joyous fellowship broke out with great friends and an even better atmosphere. Seating is outdoors only and you're surrounded by flowers and the very vegetables we were about to eat. Very surreal! I believe it's the first time I've ordered food and they literally grew it outside the eatery. It was all delicious and I highly recommend you get lost and stumble into them, yourself. I love this place!

    I'm very disappointed with my visit and I had been wanting to try this spot out for the longest…read moretime!! Finally made it and they only do take out and cater to just make the food rather than providing at all any public service. No one greets you or offers assistance especially with how the online menu you would order on at this location. Even after waiting and calling out to the people preparing the food for help I still did not get what I ordered completely I was missing the blue rice which would have kept a star up but because I was denied what I asked what was pictured and even paid more since there was a lunch special and told if you want what is pictured on the menu order the dinner item Their online menu isn't updated so don't look at their website Their other locations are way better than this spot which is an express only with rude employees I definitely suggest the other locations in Oakland and Palo Alto Beautiful areas with great customer service and they present their food instead of getting missing items over priced take out only. I will say the food was still delicious and I ate everything but with the blue rice that extra star would be there Expect No help To go only And missing items with the miss communication of rude service The reason stars fell off on my end The 2 stars I did give was just for the food still being delicious but that missing rice made it seem not amazing as the sit down locations aside from here And the other star was for it being close by to me so convenient I would had told all my family and friends but I will tell them to never go here unless you just want the food ok but check the items before leaving Go to their other locations the food and service is far way better than here
