    This place is looking good! Last minute date dinner and they delivered with the food and the service. Nice vibes all around. Best part was the different flavors with the food.

    Jerk Half Chicken, Oxtail Stew, side of rice
    Steffan A.

    Overall, very happy with everything here! Service, food, lively environment -- all really great! I was in the mood for some jerk chicken and made the drive from Hercules to try this spot out. Would not change a thing. I will definitely be back!! Food 5/5: - Street Food Doubles: kinda reminded me of a taco but really great starter - Beef patties: packed with flavor and a tiny kick - Oxtail Stew: SO much flavor. Tender meat, stew was stewin perfect to pour over the rice - Half Jerk Chicken: exactly what I was looking for and they delivered! I love plantains for the sides. Gotta find street parking or there's a parking lot around the corner where the old hardware store is. Parking spots say it's for hardware store customers but that hardware store is no longer open.

    I was a little scared to try this place because I didn't want to be let down but this place is fire!! The food is flavorful, the drinks are tasty, and the staff is nice! It's nice and spacious inside but they also have patio seating. I'm so happy tried this place. I need more oxtails! Parking: there's street parking but there's a lot a lot close by.

    Seafood Paella
    Graschelle H.

    Came for an early Mother's Day celebration on a busy Saturday and had an incredible experience! The South American and Caribbean flavors were so rich, bold, and vibrant in every dish. I loved the jerk pork tacos! The pork was juicy, tender, and aromatic, and the mango-papaya salsa added a refreshing sweetness. I also tried the paella Oyo that my sister ordered which was sooo yummy and full of protein. The small size was more than enough! My mom ordered the oxtail stew which wasn't on their brunch/lunch menu (dinner only), but I really appreciate that they were accommodating to make that dish for her. I've never had oxtail and it was delicious--tender, perfectly sweet and savory, and paired well with the plantains. The other dishes that my family ordered were hits too (jerk pork shoulder and seafood paella). We also tried the ripe plantains pancake Oscar for a sweet treat. I love anything marshmallow, so the brûléed marshmallow cream that blanketed the pancakes was heavenly. It also came with a plantain on top and a few other fruits to balance out the sweetness. Overall, we left full and all around very satisfied. The staff showed us such warm hospitality and came around often to check on us, despite being an almost packed house. The decor was beautiful and the atmosphere had a fun lively energy. With indoor and outdoor seating options, anywhere you get seated is a nice spot. Can't wait to visit again to try their dinner menu items and drinks, and hopefully catch some live music!

    Inside dining
    Lily S.

    I came here for lunch with a co-worker and the place was deserted. There was only 1 other party. However, I heard this place is hopping in the evenings. Inside the decor is very colorful and lively. I was happy to see that they have a lunch specials menu, so I'm not overwhelmed by too many choices. Most of the items are "jerk" and they have a few vegetarian options too. I never know what to expect when I see "jerk" flavoring, but I expect some heat, which was missing from the items we ordered. The food was well seasoned, but lacked any heat. Pulled jerk chicken sandwich - this was a tower. It was small like a slider but very tall and packed with lots of chicken. It was very tasty, and I especially liked the plantain chips. The little side salad was nice too. It could use some heat, but still very tasty.

    Gorgeous interiors

    Absolutely spectacular!!! I would have never guessed that a Guayanan restaurant would be in downtown Pleasanton but so glad I found it! The service is friendly and knowledgeable. The space is vibrant and spacious. They have a full menu and full bar including mocktails and delicious drinks like a sparkling mango lemonade that felt like a vacation drink. I ordered the pork shoulder dish with plantain and rice with black beans. The pork was juicy, tender, and crispy on the outside. It had this amazing green sauce on top that sort of reminded me of chimichurri. My friend had the run down fish out of curiosity but she loved the sea-bass in white wine sauce. My husband ordered the jerk chicken sandwich and he left no crumbs. They can accommodate very large groups and they have a private room. A must try in the TriValley!

    Street Food Double
    Rovin N.

    We had a great experience at Oyo! The drinks and food were excellent, and every single dish we ordered really hit the mark. The Food: Street Food Double: The chutneys were incredibly flavorful, pairing perfectly with the well-cooked chickpeas. The bara pockets were wonderfully soft and delicious. Beef Patties: The pastry was beautifully crisp and savory. The spiced short rib filling was a total delight--it had a nice kick to it without being overly spicy, which I loved. Oxtail Stew: Generous portion size with plenty of chunky meat that literally falls off the bone. It was perfectly marinated in a great blend of spices. Pairing the stew with a side of their coconut rice is highly recommended! Banana Bread Pudding: Having heard so much hype about this, it was just alright for me. It was cooked perfectly and I appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet, but it lacked a real wow factor. The Drinks: Red Wine Sangria: Really nice, refreshing, and fruity. Chase The Devil: Fun to try if you want something different, and it has a decent kick, but I would probably skip it next time. The restaurant itself is spacious with plenty of seating. On top of that, the servers are friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful. Definitely worth a visit!

    Pork Shoulder
    Lin M.

    Had a great first time tonight! We ordered the tomato salad, pork shoulder, island salmon, a half portion side of the plaited bread with the amazing butter and the bread pudding for dessert. Everything was immaculate. We sat outside on a nice Saturday night and service was great! They were very attentive and checked on us often. We were also seated very quickly as they have plenty of seating. We also didn't have trouble with parking. Will definitely be back to try out more on the menu.

    Street food 4/5: soft bread, succulent chicken, ample cucumber, flavorful chickpea sauce Bbq oyster 3/5: light barbecue sauce that was sweet and tangy, light kick, although felt too pricey Paella oyo 5/5: good portion, bouncy shrimp, scrumptious sausage and chicken, peas balanced the meal, rice cooked perfectly Brasied short rib 5/5: extremely tender, amazing, everything you would want from a braised short rib Hot sauce 5/5: spicy yet added brightness to each dish Service 5/5: impeccable, water was always filled, servers answered questions with detail Ambience 5/5: lively music that wasn't overtly loud, clean & well kept, table settings were thoughtful and felt homey

    Paella Oyo
    Cat L.

    I only took one photo!!! lol I highly recommend making a reservation,; outdoor seating is limited but If you time it during off hours you should not have a problem. I prefer outdoors on a sunny day, but it is noisy with traffic. Also, they are pet friendly on the patio!! Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. I had a mojito, it was strong!!!! Yet yummy. They're very friendly, a friend wanted the jerk tacos, not on their evening menu but the server was happy to accommodate. Their oxtail stew also looks delicious, if you like that... I went with the paella Oyo, I really recommend it because you get all the things... surf, turf and sausage with just the perfect crisp of rice at the crust.

    Ripe Plantains Pancake Oscar
    Maggie H.

    Oh my god. I came here for brunch and have already made plans to go back again for dinner. ITS JUST THAT GOOD We came here with a group of 9 on a Saturday afternoon and immediately got seated. Service is sooo nice! We came here for the unlimited mimosas which were super yummy and also came with a variety of choices for the juices. They had guava, strawberry, mango, and fresh squeezed orange juice! For food, we got the brunch pancakes and omelette to share! Both were 10/10!! The pancakes had a bruleed marshmallow on top of it that was to die for while the pork belly on the omelette was one of the most flavorful and softest pork bellies I've ever had! Definitely recommend!!

    Jerk pork shoulder
    Christina L.

    Great healthy option in downtown! Not busy during weekday dinner, service was quick. Interior decoration represents the food well. Can't go wrong any of the plantain dishes. I really enjoyed the pork maduro (tapa $9, entree $19) which was a giant plantain with bell peppers, garlic, and cream. The prices justify the portion size and tastes. The pork shoulder ($26) was a solid option for protein and veggies. Mojo sauce, I think it's chimmichuri was fresh and herby which compliments well with the pork. Plantain added the sweetness to the dish. Braided short rib was good, has some char, but it is a heavy dish, so maybe it needs something like veggies to go with it.

    Dairy allergy here. Does the ox tail stew or paella have butter or milk in it?

    You should always ask the waiter before consuming. From my experience they sometimes add milk or dairy cream. If you don't get an answer then I suggest you pass.

    Do they serve lunch at 12? Or just breakfast?

    Yes as my wife and friends had lunch there a month ago. We had reservations at 11:30am and were seated promptly. Don't believe there were any breakfast items on the menu, so I assume they serve only lunch and dinner.

    Hi, 1. can you accommodate a large group for dinner? upto 10 people. 2. what is the corkage fee?…

    Yes they can definitely do a group of 10.

    Does Oyo charge if I bring my own birthday cake?

    As long as you save Maurice a slice of cake no problem! The owner has a sweet tooth! ;o)

    What is the pork sausage in the Oyo paella? Is it sweet, spicy? What is the actual sausage used?

    For Sunday brunch, are you limited to only order from the brunch menu, or can you also order from the lunch menu as well?

    You can also order from the lunch menu.

    Do you have a corkage fee / allow outside wine?

    How many people does each paella feed? Which is the best one to order?

    Depends on how much each person eats and what size you get, the regular can feed two people conservatively.

    Do you have outdoor dining for 5 people?

    We were a party of 4 at a table that could seat 6 people.. so unless they changed since then the answer would be yes

    Is the patio dog friendly? Also, is there a happy hour menu?

    yes, yes.

    Do they have menu option for little kids?

    It did not appear so but wouldn't hurt to ask.

    We have a person with celiac so just wondered if your chef understands what that means. Many restaurants say GF but then cook things in a pan that just had flour etc in it. We'd like to come tomorrow. Can you help me?

    Absolutely! The Chef understands cross contamenation and proper food handling techniques, and would be more than happy to accommodate you. Please communicate your needs with your server when you come. We look forward to serving you!

    Anything gluten free on the menu?

    Yes! They have full entree gluten free options, not just the side type dishes many other places have. Their menu is marked denoting all the gluten free options.

    Any no onion no garlic vegetarian options?

    Just called the restaurant and they can do chana and tropical salad without dressing

No veggie/chicken empanadas. They said they had French Toast (not on the menu) so we ordered that with scrambled eggs. The main issue was wait, our food took an hour to arrive, and several surrounding tables were waiting just as long. The eggs with sausages were amazing but the French toast was smothered in chocolate and raspberry sauce which looked amazing but was too rich for us. We would have preferred standard French toast.

As our organizer mentioned, they were fully booked that night so do reserve early. Warm earthy tones in the decor made for a comfortable, inviting atmosphere and the light jazz ensemble and lovely vocal performances elevated the evening's experience. The ambiance is a strong point. Being a paella newbie, I definitely looked forward to tasting a version especially after watching cooking shows over the years. The saffron broth rice nicely counterbalanced the seasoned shrimp, sausage and other ingredients. Thumbs up. I had several portions. The tempura cauliflower - good. KR Enchiladas were cheesey and rich, plumply filled, and the accompanied rice accented with corn. Since we shared the three enchiladas, my small piece was enough for me. Suggest passing on the sourdough side that came with the paella. The bread had melted, but cooled cheese on it and there was not much free broth in the paella to soak therewith anyway. With water being the group's primary beverage, perhaps request a carafe of water at the table to ease the thirstier folks (me). Our wait person gave helpful suggestions and efficient service. The rest of the staff had hustle. As normal with live music, be prepared to raise your voice and repeat yourself in conversations. Parking is ample, with a short walk, in this Nob Hill Foods shopping center.

Even though my order wasn't ready till 10 minutes after my pickup time, staff was warm and friendly in our brief interactions on site, so I wasn't disappointed with the service. I tried four different empanadas from their menu. The mushroom, ham & cheese, and deep fried cheesy empanadas were super tasty, made fresh with quality ingredients, lots of flavor packed into a flaky shell, it's hard to pick a fave among these three. The deep fried beef empanada was my least favorite, the consistency was off, and I'm not even sure it was properly prepared or cooked all the way, as it was slightly cold, barely lukewarm, in the middle. The milder of their two sauces (huacatay) was indeed mild, lacking in any spice at all, it really didn't taste like anything to me. Luckily, the empanadas were good without it. I had a satisfying experience overall.
