    Chicken Teriyaki bowl
    Van D.

    This place is open! Lovely little restaurant in Central Richmond's Iron Triangle neighborhood on Harbour Way. They have tasty lunch bowls they call Vondi bowls to pay homage to Mama Vondi. The service was quick and the price reasonable. Best of all this restaurant serves the community. There is an upstairs area used to train local youth and future chefs. Highly recommend for their tasty bowls and for supporting those that give back!

    This place doesn't honor their business hours or they're closed. Either way, don't come here.

    This place is either out of business or doesn't honor their business hours. Came at noon on a Monday and it was closed. Don't bother coming here.

    "Forgiveness says you are given another chance to make a new beginning." -- Desmond Tutu Excellent new sandwich shop in Richmond. Opened beginning of March and it is much needed downtown. As the world reopens I see this place becoming a community focal point. I ordered grilled cheese with bacon, broccoli cream soup and red velvet cake. Loved the soup and sandwich, I think the better dessert may be the bread pudding. Everyone else was getting that. They are still getting their feet wet service wise so be patient. What's great about this business is they are a nonprofit helping Richmond youth. From their FB page: "We are NewLife Movement, a California state-recognized non-profit organization and official partner of the City of Richmond, operating directly out of John F. Kennedy Park. Our Mission is to serve our community by ,"Engaging criminal and disadvantaged minds and helping them become successful law-abiding citizens" . We believe we can achieve in our mission mostly by meeting those in need in the very streets we mean to change. For us to continue to succeed in these goals we must further build positive mentor relationships and continue to provide the following three skill building programs: 1. Reactions - Working directly with Kennedy High School students, we train them in responding positively to different situations or in areas of conflict. NewLife Movement staff engage youth through role play, coaching and powerful guest speakers who provoke positive thinking. Students will learn skills to help them make better decisions currently and are nurtured to use their new skills to build their futures. 2. Partner Up - NewLife Movement reaches out to local businesses and connects them to our students that are in search of work experience. The "Partner Up" program is designed to help members of NewLife and local businesses create a supportive job shadowing atmosphere. Students will devote 2 - 4 hours per day as interns or as we call them, "Youth partners," completing tasks and building needed job skills. 3. Youth Safety - Newlife Movement is committed to providing a positive presence and a safe passage throughout the city of Richmond with a main focus in John F. Kennedy Park and the nearby neighborhoods. We discourage youth truancy, both at Kennedy High and Martin L. King Elementary as a positive vocal and physical presence in the park that sets between the schools. It is the mission of the segment of NewLife to help ensure that our young people have a safe and resourceful park to play in, and positive role models encouraging their growth and well-being." Support your local black owned businesses, we all need to rise up and we can all do it together. Highly recommended

Came back a second time for the PepperJack Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup!!! Fire! The Cafe is Bright, Colorful, Clean and welcoming. Don't forget your mask our try to crowd in... they will remind you. Downtown Has New life! I'm a regular now.

    I was heading home from Berkeley and had a craving for Bahn Mi. There are numerous places along…read morethe way and Ive probably tried a dozen or more. I wanted to try something than the usual suspects so pulled over and looked up yelp. I decided on Hoai Huong Coffee Shop. It was a bit out my way but I had the time. I had the number 5 (roasted bbq pork) Bahn Mi and vietnamese coffee....incredible. The Bahn Mi is the best Ive had in the East Bay. very generous portion of delicious pork with fresh vegetables and perfectly roasted bread. The coffee was strong and not to sweet and im sure Ill be awake for days. The staff was friendly and family oriented. Its now my go to place. Highly recommend

    Solid banh mi spot with a variety of sandwiches and drinks at a great price. Most sandwiches will…read morerun you about $6. Portions are reasonable too. I tried the combo, grilled pork, and pork roll with pate and egg sandwiches. My favorite was definitely the pork roll/pate/egg one and the dac viet/combo was tasty too. I wasn't a big fan of the texture grilled pork as I'm used to a more charbroiled kind but it was still fine. The bread was fragrant and crispy outside while fluffy inside. I appreciated the herbs/pickled veggies, viet mayo, and seasoning sauce ratios too. The service was fast and there are a few tables if you'd like to dine in. The space is cozy so I opted for take out. I'd love to try the avocado coffee or other drinks next time I'm in the area!
