Yuba Skewers
Ally Y.

I ate at FOB West on 3/17 and it was wonderful! A limited menu for now as they're getting settled in but still a great selection of shareable starter, salads, entrees and drinks! I ordered the Yuba Skewers and they were superb! Generous portion and really well flavored!! I love that they're here and can to wait to come back and try their other menu items!

FOB West, FOB Kitchen's W$O location, is now open in Prescott Market! I'm excited to see another local business open up in the market and...it's Filipino food--so much love, so much delicious food. Currently, they're doing a soft opening for lunch: 10AM-3PM. We stopped by around 1PM and the market was busy and the line was not long at all. Let's get down to business: - Veggie lumpia (6 pieces)--Freshly fried and the ideal way for me to eat vegetables. The garlic vinegar should douse every bite! - Pancit Sotanghon--bihon clear rice noodles, no meat. The veggies are neatly cut and cooked just right. Your Tita would be proud! - Special: Longanisa Silog--throw an egg on anythang! The longanisa was perfection--not too sweet nor spicy. The side salad was a good balance for the longanisa. Oh yeah and the house hot sauce on everything! If this is how they're showing out for their soft opening then I can't wait to come back again and again and I hope you do too!

Chopped salad with tofu

Maybe it was an off day, but the lettuce in the salad is old, and the dressing is not balanced - a bit too acidic

Chopped salad. It was on point

On 4/18/2026, my wife and I, went to the Prescott Market and tried FOB West. I had the vegan lumpia's and my wife had a chopped salad. The service was great and the food was excellent. The market has Indoor and outdoor seating with an array of places to eat. I highly recommend FOB West. All in all, I gave FOB West four and a half stars

My daughter took me to the Oakland Farmers Market and had lunch at the Prescott Market where we had Filipino food at FOB West. I ordered the Daing na Bangus which is a marinaded fried milk fish. They added tomatoes, cilantro, onions, etc. inside the fish, accompanied with salad, yellow rice and potato salad. There was a vinegar dressing mixture for the fish to add more flavor. Garlic fried rice would have been much perfect. Great day to eat outdoors.

Chicken Kelaguen Tacos

Excellent food great ambience! Place hits hella good! Came by here a couple days again and tried their fried fish so deliciously addicting!!! Love their red rice that comes with the meal and the amazing finadene sauce . Chicken kelaguen also hits the spot!! My family from Guam love the island vibes in this place owner is amazing staff is wonderful and professional here looking forward for more good Chow ! We will keep coming back here !

Kelaguen Tacos

FOB Kitchen West in Prescott Market serves Filipino and Guamanian Chamorro food, and the flavors/presentation of the dishes were executed perfectly. We started with a simple Asian-inspired Chop Salad made of shredded romaine/iceberg lettuce, carrots, red cabbage, scallion, cilantro, sesame seeds, and almonds, tossed with a soy sesame vinaigrette and topped with crispy rice noodles for an extra crunch. A far more interesting item to try was the Kelaguen taco, which featured kelaguen, a Guamanian dish made of chopped grilled chicken in a creamy dressing made with grated coconut, green onions, lemon, and Thai chilies. This ceviche-like mixture was served in two toasted corn tortillas and finished with crispy bits of chicken on top--the kelaguen had a nice tropical/coconut flavor and creamy texture, making for a delicious taco filling. But my favorite dish of all was the Daing Na Bangus Fiesta Plate, which featured a whole butterflied boneless milkfish, marinated in vinegar/garlic/spices and deep-fried to crispy perfection. The gorgeously plated milkfish was served with sides of red rice, mac salad, and green salad, along with vinegar and hot sauce as condiments. All the components came together in a colorful, balanced, and flavorful platter, making for a highlight dish!

I've had the pancit from FOB more times than I can count--it literally kept me alive at a festival, and somehow I'm still not over it. Every time I eat it, I'm like, wait--why is this SO good? Garlicky, packed with umami, mouthwateringly addictive. FOB's vibes are impeccable: welcoming, intimate, and authentic--like you've stumbled onto something special not everyone knows about. Like you almost want to gatekeep (but won't, because everyone deserves this) The energy FOB West brings to Prescott Market is this and more!! To enjoy this level of cuisine out on the patio, in the sun, surrounded by people having a good time? Can't ask for me! FOB Kitchen sets the bar, FOB West raises it!!!

Jackfruit tacos, pancit, Longanisa Silog
Rachel S.

this place was SO. GOOD. I had the jackfruit tacos (vegan) at the recommendation of the cashier and I LOVED them. They definitely had some spice, so if you aren't big on spicy things, beware!! We also tried the pancit (glass noodles) and those were delicious. My roomie got the Longanisa Silog (sausage and rice bowl) and loved it. I would absolutely go back. This inspired me to go to their actual restaurant in Oakland on Telegraph.

The interior makes one feel that you are in a high end cafe with its beautiful decor. Some many items to choose from, the person taking my order was very helpful in explaining the different kinds of drinks and pastries. Ordered the Ginger Honey Jobani as a hot drink, Biscoff Milkcake, Honeycomb, and a Beef Fatayer. There were several kinds of milkcakes which would have the texture like a tres leches cake. The Honeycomb had pockets of cream cheese and was drizzles with honey. The Meat Fatayer is like an empanada. The food and drink were very tasty.

MLK Cafe was perfectly located and exactly what I needed. I've never had Eritrean food before, so I was pretty excited. I ordered the foul meseleh ($13) from the breakfast menu (available all day though I had to ask for it), which was a bean-based dish, and chai. It kind of reminded me of shakshuka in terms of spices but the beans almost tasted meaty. I liked it so much that I brought it home, and my partner said it tasted like refried beans (though he did have them cold). The crusty warm bread was perfect for dipping, and I ended up not being able to finish it. The chai was pretty milky; there was a tea bag and the spices weren't very strong. Then again, I'm used to Indian chais. I would pass on the chai. There was basically no one else there on a Friday afternoon during off-peak hours. It was dimly lit and kind of chilly because the door was left open, so it wasn't the most comfortable cafe ambiance. The wifi did work well though and I would come back to try more Eritrean and Ethiopian food.

That's what really drew us in. Very tasty breakfast, got the injera breakfast plate filled with lots of spices, tomato flavor and tang from the bread. Super addicting if you love those flavors. Very thankful to be given a side of yogurt to help cool the heat down. Definitely would order this again, but maybe add my own mix-ins like an egg or more protein since it's very carb heavy. Inside wise, you can watch two tv's playing sports, our waitress/cashier was very kind, and it appeared like many locals hanging out. Only thing is their menu prices are out of date. About $13 plus tax per plate. Hope to come back at night to see the bar open and some live music!

I will say, if you have somewhere to be *ORDER ONLINE*. I got there and was told to order from the self serve tablet (I could have done this on my phone ahead of time), but I put in my order and sat down to wait for it. At the 22 min mark, the two groups of two behind me got their food before I did, so I went up to the worker behind the bar and asked if my order was ready and I was told mine would be next. All in all- took 32 mins. So again, if you have somewhere to be- order ahead! Food was good. Could definitely tell it was made fresh to order - not only because it took some time but because my friend cauliflower came out PIPING hot. Lots of oil drippings, so if that isn't your thing, may not be for you, but I will say that it was my fav bite. This was a good restaurant- I would say 4 stars for the food alone. BUT if you're in a pinch, either order online or maybe save this spot for when you have more time. Also- I know that good quality food is pricey, this place is no exception. But you pay for what you get and the quality is better than that of fast food.

While this visit was in between the lunch and dinner rush, unfortunately I think they are understaffed because at the time we sat down there was only 1 person who was busing tables and taking orders. As a result, it took a while for them to be able to stop by our table and provide water, take our order, etc. There was quite a long wait between sitting down to ordering to actually receiving our food. By the time we had actually received our food, almost an hour had passed. While we were waiting, a few other servers eventually joined, but service was still pretty bare for us and we never received refills on water or plates to eat off of when we received our food. I understand that staffing and a backup in the kitchen are out of the staff's control, but it would've definitely helped for us to know in advance how long to expect to wait to align our expectations and arrange our plans for the day. Would advise giving customers a quick heads up/warning because that on its own would've made a big difference. As for the actual food, we ordered the mac trio with elote mac, chicken pot pie mac, and kogi short rib mac (for an extra fee). The elote mac was the best and most flavorful, the short rib mac was okay but not amazing or worth the extra money, and the chicken pot pie mac was very bland/flavorless and didn't have much chicken in it. The food didn't feel like it warranted the wait time and because of that I would not return.

This place might have become my favorite fast-casual burger joint in Oakland…read more Since my first review, I've enjoyed their food three more times -- in person once and DoorDash twice. And it's been satisfying and well worth it all three times. I recommend both dining in and delivery. You cannot go wrong with their double burger. The smashed patties are perfectly cooked and seasoned. The supporting elements are quality and executed spot-on each time: the cheese, grilled onions, and mayo. It's a perfect fast casual burger. I also recently tried the Chopped Beef burger and dang it was amazing. The hearty meat and cheese the and buttery bread texture hit hard. This will be another go-to and I recommend it. For sides I've gotten tator tots, regular fries, and season fries. All fantastic and they're generous with the portions. HOWEVER -- you've gotta get the seasoned fries. Addictive and finger-licking amazing. When dining in staff is always friendly. Area's not too busy and you'll always find parking easily down a side street. And price wise it honestly feels like a steal for me given the care and quality and pure satisfaction. Works for me though -- I'm going to keep ordering from this place. Cannot recommend this gem of a burger joint enough. Fantastic seasoning and execution, solid prices, and absolutely satisfying every time.

All of it... yes! Typical Bay Area prices for delicious smash burgers, fries, and onion rings…read more Service is always great and the vibes are fun/casual. Parking in the ohgane lot next is free if you're there for oh g burger.
