Mushroom magic at Fungi Foods! We ordered a hefty amount, including shareable bites, and took home two of the famed KFV Bowls for later. I ordered the "Buffalo Blue" fried maitake mushroom sandwich for myself and the BBQ Cajun Mac and Caesar Fries to share. Jessica ordered the Caesar Salad and Coleslaw, and we both had a side of the house Cornbread with Maple Cinnamon Butter. Fungi Foods' new space is all the vibes. It's pretty, it's funky, it's fun, and it includes intimate seating, bar tops, outdoor dining, and even family-style tables. The tables are set with intention, featuring wildflower-filled mushroom vases and conversational card games, and information cards highlighting their mission of "cultivating community through compassion".

I stumbled on this place a random Saturday and decided to come back another day to try their food. I'm not really a big sandwich person, but their sandwich was amazing! I ordered the Gochujang, and the sandwich was DELICIOUS! The fries were also perfect--well seasoned, well cooked. The service was good. And the restaurant was clean. Will definitely return again! read more

Fungi Foods came to my attention for making Vegan comfort food from mushrooms. They sell at local farmers market in the Oakland area. I saw them at the Temescal one. Small menu of ready to eat edibles: sandwiches, loaded fries, KFV (Kentucky Fried Vegan) bowl, specials, combo deal. Loaded Mac's, dried mushroom jerky. Since there isn't much seating at Temescal F.M., I decline buying any edible, only the dried mushroom jerky's. The OG mush jerky sold out. An associate was passing out samples of the jerky. Sesame Ginger tasted slightly sweet, not hard like beef jerky. Has a soft texture. Made with oyster mushroom, sesame oil, coconut oil/amonos, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, onion. Coconut curry (2 oz) has a slight spicy kick & sweetness from the cumin, coriander, tumeric, black pepper, fenugreek. Ginger, mustard seed, curry patta, garlic, fennel seeds, garlic. Jerky sells for $10 each, 3/$25, 10/$70. Signage on top of canopy hard to see. Standing board in front shows the menu. Pics on front of food stand show edibles available. Google lists hours for Brick & mortar: Thursday-Sunday, 5 to 9 p.m. Definitely repeatable. Buying an edible next time along with 10 mushroom jerky. read more

This was my first time eating at a vegan restaurant. I can't say enough how surprisingly delicious everything was. I had the lasagna and Caesar salad. The texture of the lasagna was just like traditional lasagna and was super "cheesy" with a little bit of spice. The Caesar salad had mushrooms which made me feel like I was eating anchovies. Delicious.!We also ordered a fried mushroom sandwich and fries. For dessert we had the delicious cornbread and mango lassi made from soy. There's is a parking lot across the street. The place is small but feels spacious with lots of light. The owner/chef was friendly and welcoming. The vibe felt like a gathering of neighborhood friends. I highly recommend this place and look forward to going back and trying their other dishes. read more

I've been dying to try this place since they opened this year as I've seen them at farmers markets. I'm vegan and love mushrooms so I was thrilled to hear they opened a store front and was even more excited when I realized they were the same as Fungi Farms where they grow mushrooms in Orinda! I've bought both their mushrooms at farmers markets as well as the mushroom jerky (ALL the flavors are amazing!) but have never actually tried the cooked food until recently. I was blown away by the flavors of the food! Everything was so good and paired together well so you can't go wrong with any combination of items on the menu. My partner and I ordered the bbq Cajun Mac which was deliciously creamy and had a good level of spice. We also got the gochujang sandwich and upgraded the side from fries to loaded mashed potatoes, which was mashed potatoes with corn, green onions, and sauce. Everything was SO GOOD!! We also got lucky and were dining in the same day they were filming content so we were lucky enough to be in some pictures and videos! And we were given the food that was made just for the content, so we had so many dishes to go! We ate the food the next day and it was just as tasty as when it was fresh. The food, staff, service, and cozy environment were all 10/10 and Oakland is really lucky to have this new place here! Please go support them, you won't be disappointed! read more

I don't say this lightly --Fungi Foods is doing something different! Fully vegan, mushroom-focused, and somehow hitting that comfort food craving without the usual heaviness. I ordered one of the KFV bowls (fried oyster mushrooms over mashed potatoes ... the Mash n' Gravy), and it was exactly what you want it to be: crispy, savory, and deeply satisfying. I also had the rose lassi, which was smooth, lightly sweet, and a really nice balance to the richness of the bowl. Tasted so healthy. But what really stood out was the energy. Constant flow of people, no dead vibe, and everyone actually looked happy with their food ... which says a lot. Jake, the owner, was out there giving samples (including mushroom jerky), talking to people, and clearly takes pride in what he's building. Also, small detail, big impact, there are little card games at the tables. It makes the whole place feel intentional and communal instead of transactional. And for anyone who actually cares about ingredients: their dressings don't use seed oils, and they fry in rice bran oil. That alone sets them apart. I came for the mushrooms and left rethinking comfort food. This is how you do vegan comfort food without cutting corners. I'll be back. read more

We came for opening night two weeks ago and it was lovely. There were the inevitable learning curves and stress tests but it was great! My PGH salad came out without fries but they remedied it with a side of fries when I asked about it. The Mac and cheese was great and so creamy!! I also really loved the cornbread - that may be the sleeper menu item must get. It was incredible. If you haven't yet read the SF Gate article about the founder and this place, do it! It's such a cool place, fun vibes and incredibly reasonably priced and delicious food! We'll be back! read more

AMAZING!! The food, the staff, everything was great! I wish I could remember the name of our server but she was the sweetest! Our kids are super picky & even they loved the food! Our 11 & 7 year olds were all about the schwings (probably spelled wrong) & the Mac & Cheese. It was great to see that the place was full of people & people kept showing up. Also if you've never had their jerky, run to your nearest farmers market or pick some up from the restaurant, you won't be disappointed! read more

I've been a fan of Fungi Foods since trying them at the Walnut Creek farmers market, so I was excited to visit their new actual restaurant location. However, my experience was honestly kind of hit or miss. Finding the place is a real challenge. It's just a plain red brick building with no permanent signage plastered on the storefront; only a small sidewalk sign out front. If you are driving by, it is incredibly hard to tell it's a restaurant and very easy to miss. On the plus side, the interior is very nice, clean, and organized. They even have card games laid out on the tables to keep you occupied while you wait, which is a fun touch, and the staff is genuinely welcoming and polite. Unfortunately, for a fully vegan restaurant, a lot of the food we ordered ended up being quite bland and lacking flavor. The Caesar salad was my absolute favorite. It was highly flavorful, and I appreciated that every piece of lettuce was well coated in dressing. The mushrooms made it taste even better, though I do wish the lettuce pieces were a bit smaller as it was a little difficult to eat. The cornbread was my second favorite, especially with the butter it came with. It was very flavorful and not dry at all. The butter made it taste like a dessert, which I personally loved, but if you prefer savory cornbread, you should skip the butter. The garlic bread was also good, buttery, and not dry. The main dishes, however, missed the mark. The loaded BBQ Cajun Mac and cheese was decent when you got a bite with everything combined, but if you eat just the macaroni and sauce without the mushrooms, it is completely flavorless. The lasagna also really lacked flavor and just tasted like plain vegan cheese. Lastly, the loaded chili cheese fries had nice, crispy fries, but the toppings were disappointing. There was an overpowering tomato taste rather than a true chili flavor, and I couldn't taste the cheese at all. I love supporting vegan businesses and the hospitality here is wonderful, but the main dishes need a lot more seasoning and they definitely need better signage out front. read more

Food was phenomenal. The French fries were great. The quality of the food is outstanding

I've always seen Fungi Foods at the farmer's market but have never tried it until they opened up a stationary location in Oakland. They are located in what looks like a garage-like space (on a street where neighboring businesses have the same format). It can be easily missed as they have a small sign (probably because they just opened this spot recently). However, very cute indoor decor with tiny mushroom vases and mini card games on each table. Their hours are also pretty limited on the weekends, so we came here for dinner on a Sunday. That being said, it wasn't super busy. Food came out within a reasonable time and service was great. Servers checked on us a few times through our time spent here. I ordered the BBQ Cajun mac and cheese which was a rec from our server. I loved how silky the cheese was and the noodles were cooked perfectly. It looks like they drizzled a mildly spicy mayo on top with sauteed mushrooms. Although I loved the mushrooms, I did feel that they could have used better ones such as oyster mushrooms rather than the regular button/bella mushrooms. But overall, the dish was delicious and I do not regret ordering it. I also got to try the gochujang sandwich - fried maitake with brioche buns, cabbage/slaw, pickles and gochujang sauce. The filling tasted deliciois but I think the buns could have been less flat and more fluffy. Fries that came with it were very crispy to my liking though. Overall, solid spot and would recommend bay area vegans to at least try it out! read more

I've always love the food at Fungi Foods pop-ups and now I can enjoy their food on a consistent basis. All of their food I've tried to date is wonderful. There are so many Vegan / Plant-Based dishes to try, it's hard to pick the next one I'm going to eat. Their soft opening is this weekend, starting thursday, 3/26, today, and they're giving away free cornbread all weekend. Come on down! read more

Great food, friendly service. Everything on the menu is great but I crave the sandwiches, especially the gochujang. Cornbread and the ceasar are a must as well read more

Great food, all vegan and no nuts! Very friendly staff, comfortable seating and dining area.

I had the Mash n Chili, cornbread, and Arnold Palmer. It was great and I love that the mushrooms weren't super oily. Fried mushrooms can always be tricky, but they have it dialed in. The cornbread was solid. They checked in often to see if food was good and if we enjoyed our email. Overall nice crew. The spot is nice and cozy with a cute mushroom theme. Come when you're hungry because they give great portions for the price. read more

The best fried mushrooms in the Bay.If you haven't been to Fungi Foods yet, change your plans and go tonight. Everything on the menu is 100% vegan, messy in the best way possible, and incredibly flavorful. The Fried Mushroom Sandwich has the perfect crunch, and their hand-cut fries (especially the chili cheese style) are elite. Super friendly staff and a great dine-in atmosphere. 10 out of 10! read more
