This place is a must try. Food was cooked to perfection, service was friendly and attentive, and the location is great to explore the rest of downtown Oakland. I brought my boyfriend here and we had the pork griot and oxtail and we were talking about it for days. read more

If you know me, you know I will travel for food. But I am putting down the car keys because I have found the oxtails of my dreams! Even better than my South Bay go to!!! What a treasure tucked into the corner of Old Oakland! Excellent food! Super nice service! [[HIGHLIGHT]]And great vibes![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We came to watch Team Haiti play in the World Cup and even with a packed house the food came out fast! We got akra and empanadas to start. Fried and fried deliciousness! And the pikliz, a spicy cabbage pickle condiment was fire! The oxtail is the best I've had, and the vegetarian stew was delicious! I can't wait to go back! Extra huge thank you for the explicitly labeled gluten free menu! read more

Hello everyone, I have great news, I found the best Haitian Restaurant in the land, T'Chaka. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is amazing, the walls are filled with what i can only assume is Haitian art, the service good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Don't expect a conversation from the young man, he seems to be about business. This particular day the chef came out to greet me and one of my employees who i was rewarding for a job well done. she noticed I had a bottle of her homemade hot sauce on my table, she smiled, a smile that would light any dark room, with glee she asked, do you like hot spicy food. I smiled back and oh yeah, she shook her head in delite, and said I have something for you to try. When she came back with our order, she also included a small taste cup of the hot sauce, the same as i was buying and a coleslaw for me to try, I wouldn't call me a regular there, however, I have been there about 5-6 times, (it is that good, everytime) The coleslaw i didn't give it a any thought, UNTIL, we split it between my friend and I, wow! Spicy coleslaw, to some coleslaw should be refreshing, not spicy, as a Mexican, we put chilly powder and lemon on fruit. So this was delightful spicy, sweet and still refreshing yum yum gimme sum! Let's talk chicken, the jerk chicken is what I always order, it has never let me down, spicy, juicy oh so tender falls right off the bone (literally) cooked to perfection , I didn't do a review before because I almost didn't want to share my favorite place, but, I guess I will, the rice and beans (rice and Pease) amazing flavor! Together it's magic, the hot sauce was great and my kids love it as ofcourse do I, but not for this meal, what this chicken didn't have, it didn't need (4real) the plate also came with a plantain, ( love plantains) and a Griot (I think) a fine meal for sure, enjoyed it sooo much just typing about it wants to make me go and get more, as a matter of fact once I'm done with this review, I am going to go back and get a "to go" plate for my boys, If you like spicy, and you like Great food, T'Chaka is the place to be. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Location in the city of Oakland, but it's the good side of Oakland don't be fooled by the internet it is safe and friendly and worth the drive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 5 out of 5 CheeHoos read more

Holy Moly! What a beautiful experience I had over at Tchaka! Such a beautiful and welcoming introduction to Haitian food. Walked in for the 7:45pm reservation and were immediately greeted by Chris, who was the highlight of the evening. After being sat and some perusing of the menu, some winners were snagged! Steamed Clams and Mussels -So delicious, so garlicky, perfectly spicy. This was so incredibly good. Im a huge fan of steamed shells like this and this was delicious. If I wasn't so polite I would have easily drank the broth of this dish. Insanely magical. Tostones - This was comfort in a dish. Fried plantains topped with pork and bbq sauce. The flavors here were unreal. 10/10 this was so delicious and comforting. Oxtail - WOW just WOW, this was sooooooo good. Only grabbed this as a side portion snd regretted not getting more. Tender, juice, falloff the bone with excellent flavor. The little portion of rice and plantain paired perfectly. T'chaka is one of those places you definitely write home about! The service was so great and everyone there was so kind. I even got to meet the owner via facetime and Chris' wife (who grew up in the same part of LA as me - cute little moment). Luckily for me, T'chaka is right down the street from my place which means I will be back here again very very soon. read more

My Haitian friend just moved to the bay. We searched and found her SPOT! Family owned - casual feel - owner went out of her way to make us a fresh batch of "pikliz" (spicy pickled cabbage). We tried the Legumes with Chicken - Griot (pork) and Oxtail. What a great tasting menu. Awesome spices with plantains / beans & rice compliments. This might be in our monthly rotation :) read more

Food: five stars Service: five stars Ambiance: five stars I ordered the oxtail and my vegetarian friend ordered the legume. The oxtail was so tender and fell right off the bone. Perfectly cooked and deliciously flavored. My friends' legume tasted like a comfort dish you get at someone's home. The rice and beans were perfect. I also got the ginger sorrel which is jamaica and ginger and it was so refreshing and *not too sweet*! The servers and workers were so wonderful and kind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even everyone inside was sweet and asking one another what they got, was it good, etc... vibes were immaculate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior decor is cozy and cultural.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying what everyone else around me got! Doesn't seem like you can go wrong with the menu. This was my friend's first time trying Caribbean/Haitian food and this was the perfect place to take him to. Thank you T'chaka for your hospitality and yummy food! read more

T'chaka - Oxtails - Seafood Near Me - Oakland, California

As a Haitian food connoisseur I went to visit this restaurant not once but twice so I can give it a fair shot and review. I initially didn't expect much since every Haitian restaurant on the west coast seems to flop pretty bad except for the one in Moreno Valley, CA. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Things to consider about Haitian food. Oxtails and anything jerked (jerk chicken) are NOT typical Haitian dishes. Leave those to the Jamaicans that's their specialty. I would NOT order that at a Haitian restaurant. If you order these we know you don't know anything about that culture. Now that we got this out of way. I've ordered the legume (stewed veg with no meat), fritay griot (fried pork shoulder) akra, fried green plantain, kremas, pikliz to go. Pros: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located in a vibrant part of Oakland this restaurant is very cleaned and spacious with arts displayed throughout showcasing the Haitian culture and spirt. There's even a huge outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was fast and I am not talking by islands standards. Before i can blink was food was in front of me. To my surprise, I really enjoyed my food and ordered some to go. I thought to myself maybe I was really hungry hence the reason it tasted so good. So I went back a 2nd time the very next day, you could tell the food is made fresh because they don't have the same thing on the menu. Oh boy was I surprised again about how delicious the food was. Subsequently, I am giving this restaurant a 5 Cons: There's only street parkings which can be hard to find and it's not the restaurant's fault. I agree with some of the comments that the greeting might need some improvement. Then again this is a family owned business, where their young son is in charge of greeting & seating folks down. He may not have an inviting smile but he was not rude per se. Overall: I have travelled to over 65 countries there are certain things you can't except from people. Not every business is ran based on American expectations. This is a small family owned business with delicious & authentic Haitian dishes. What people want to know is "does the food taste good?" Yes or no. Also, while I was eating there I saw many Ubereats and/or Doordash couriers coming in and out, that might be an option for those who don't want to dine in. I would absolutely go back whenever I am in the Bay area. Lovely family and I wish them the best. I hope they open a restaurant here in Los Angeles. read more

Finally got a chance to slide up in here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is on point.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was good. And the food was amazing. I'm a big fan of oxtails, and this serving was perfect. Meat falling off the bone, seasoned just right. Spicy but not over powering. Just a hint of that caribbean heat. So good and the gravy flavor was an extra bonus .. The rice & kidney beans, perfect.. I cleaned my plate .. T'chaka was all that... read more

We came on a late Sunday afternoon and unfortunately, they had alot of items not available that day. But glad they had the oxtail stew. We truly enjoyed it. Great flavors and it was falling off the bones. The service was a bit on the slow side but our server was nice. We sat outside because it was a nice day. read more

Pork bites /10, rice and beans /10, tostones /10, chicken and shrimp /10. Infinite deliciousness all around the board! Every dish blends so well together like each flavor is just naturally in alignment with the other. Not to mention the drinks, and the service, absolutely top tier! The owner is absolutely beautiful and so kind, every staff member is so attentive and welcoming. I love how genuine the energy is within the restaurant space itself. This is at the very top of my list and it should be on the top of yours. read more

I love me some haitian food down. This place has been on my list so glad I stopped by. I came on a Thursday evening there was no wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have indoor and outdoor seating and an amazing vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] To start I tried the ginger sorrel which was perfect paired with the food. I tried akra I never had before and it was such a great starter. To eat I had the jerk shrimp the flavors paired with rice and plantain soooo good. The red snapper was perfectly seasoned and amazing as well. The customer service was amazing the chef even checked in with us and put away the leftovers. I'll definitely be back. read more

Great lunch experience! I hadn't realized we had a Haitian restaurant in this space now. A friend asked if I wanted to meet here for lunch. Sure! We were greeted warmly and seated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is really cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We both ordered the salad with shrimp and a ginger sorrel. The salad was the perfect portion, very fresh, with beets in it and plantain on the side. The dish was well plated. The salad dressing had a high heat note that could have been a little better balanced but it was still really good. We both ate everything. The sorrel was delicious, not too sweet. The table next to us ordered oxtail and it smelled incredible but I knew I couldnt have eaten a lot that day. Our server was able to split the check. I'd be back. read more

T'chaka - Salad with shrimp and glass of sorrel - Seafood Near Me - Oakland, California

UPDATED REVIEW: Your response as the owner is extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. Instead of addressing the issues with my order, you chose to insult a paying customer and make accusations about my "DNA," which is completely inappropriate. Everything I wrote in my review was based on my actual experience. I specifically asked for only rice and oxtails, yet my plate still came with watery, runny vegetables that made the whole meal messy. As you can see in the PHOTOS, that is clearly slaw sitting in watery liquid. Slaw is made of cabbage and carrots, which are vegetables. So either you're being dishonest about it, or you genuinely don't know what vegetables are. The oxtails were mostly bone and fat with very little meat and almost no flavor, and the rice was dry and hard. On top of that, I asked for flats only with my jerk wings and still received drumsticks. Those are simple instructions that were not followed. Customers are allowed to share honest experiences. Attacking people personally instead of responding professionally only makes your business look worse. A respectful response and willingness to improve would go much further than insults. The PHOTOS speak for themselves. Original review: Tried Tchaka Food Restaurant and had a very disappointing experience. I ordered the oxtails with rice and plantains and specifically asked for only rice and oxtails, but they still added vegetables to the plate. The vegetables were watery and runny like soup, which made the whole plate messy. The oxtails were horrible! Mostly bone and fat with barely any meat, and they had almost no flavor. The rice was just as bad. It was dry, hard, and tasted like nothing. I also ordered jerk wings and asked for flats only, but they still gave me drumsticks. Overall the food quality was very poor and they didn't follow simple instructions on the order. I definitely wouldn't order from here again. read more

I have been in search of good Haitain cuisine since i departed South Florida and Tchaka is definitely it. I had the griot rice n peas for lunch. The meal was absolutely amazing. The griot was perfectly seasoned crunchy on the outside moist and tender on the inside. The pikliz is one of the best I have ever tasted with the amazing pickled and spicy flavor. The peas n rice and plantain did not disappoint at all. I will definitely be back!!! read more

T'chaka - Griot - Seafood Near Me - Oakland, California

This place was nearly empty on a sunday evening. We ordered the plaintain basket and empanadas, both gluten free! The empanadas use a corn wrapping. The server warned me that the cabbage that comes with the empanadas will be spicy, but it wasn't at all. Maybe they missed the spice. For the plantain basket, it's not a basket but a plate of 4 fried plantains. There was barbecue sauce on top of it, and a ton of not-deveined mini shrimps. The barbecue sauce was really unnecessary. I just wanted some dry, salted fried green plantains to pair with my saucy grits, or my partner's stewed oxtails. I got the shrimp and grits and didn't know there would be a sweet, orange sauce on top. It was a bit much. The grits is savory and salty, which was great. But the sauce on top over powered it. The shrimp was plentiful and big. Maybe i got the wrong dishes. The service is quick, the place is nice inside and the passionfruit juice was delicious. I would try other dishes, definitely would not try the plantains again though. read more

T'chaka - Griot (Pork Bites) - Seafood Near Me - Oakland, California

I happened upon this place while attending the farmers market. It was almost closing for most restaurants, but this one had no crowd, the outdoor seating was nice, and it looked pleasant. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to sit at the wooden benches outside (because it's for a party of 3 or more), despite the place being completely empty. Ordered: oxtail creole dish. This meal comes with two types of plantain, beans and rice, and slaw. The food presentation was phenomenal. Unfortunately, the oxtail was super fatty and gelatinous. in addition to the oxtail pieces being super tiny, there was hardly any edible meat. I will say the meat came off the bone easily, but it was just gummy. I didn't even care to take photos. The rice and beans were decent. It was just super cold. The only thing worth noting (in my opinion), was the yellow plantain. It was warm and cooked perfectly. The green plantain was not as palatable. The service was OK, although the server was a bit awkward and seemed uninterested in working for the day. Perhaps it was that the location was about to close shortly. Sadly, I left and ordered another meal from across the street after leaving this place. Would not return or be my recommendation based on this experience. read more

YUMMM. I came back twice in two days. The crispy fish is sooo flavorful and crispy and absolutely to die for, and the pikilis (not sure I spelled that right but it's a spicy pickled cabbage slaw) had the perfect amount of heat and paired well with the crispy fish. I love that they give you tostones and platanos maduros like yassss gimmie plantain in all forms. The jerk shrimp was savory and tasty, and reminded me a little bit the creamy creole shrimp down in New Orleans as opposed to a Jamaican style Jerk. The only thing I will note is that the fish seemed quite a bit smaller when I came back the second time, and it is a set price as opposed to being priced by the pound. So the portion size might be inconsistent. I'm still gonna come back and get more fish though hahah can't stop wont stop!!! read more

T'chaka - Jerk Combo (Chicken and Shrimp) - Seafood Near Me - Oakland, California

Tchaka Haitian Cuisine? Whew. That food hit like a grandma's blessing and a Sunday nap -- all at once. We came through for a birthday celebration, arranged by two of our special friends who clearly knew where the soul food magic was tucked away. Greatest choice ever. The oxtails? Fall-apart tender like they slow-danced with the pot. The red snapper? Flaky, seasoned, and singing spirituals. The legume stew? Soft, mild, and comforting -- like that one cousin who always brings peace to the family BBQ. And the ginger sorrel? Listen -- that drink brought my taste buds to church, revival, and an afterparty. The vibe? Warm and real. The energy? Rooted and right. The photos? Just finished plates. That should tell you everything you need to know. We're definitely coming back -- like Erykah Badu sang, "on and on..." Tchaka, y'all did it with love, and we tasted every bit of it. read more

We ordered their spicy jerk chicken wings - which were spicy but weren't very flavorful, and didn't have a lot of sauce. For entrees we ordered their shrimp and grits, and oxtail stew. For the price, I expected a larger portion of oxtail, or at least ones that actually had more meat on them. The shrimp and grits were on the sweeter side, and wasn't the flavor profile I was expecting. Overall, glad to have tried this place in the neighborhood. Feel free to try it yourself to make your own conclusions. read more

I had the jerk chicken plate and it was incredibly juicy moist and the meat was cooked just right, with the skin coming off cleanly. The fried plantains were a little too burnt for me but still nice.

I had a really wonderful dinner here with my family on me years day. The service was pretty slow but there appeared to be 3 employees and it was a holiday. Once the food came out we were all very impressed with what we ordered. My family is mostly Panamanian but has a spri klibg of Jamaican and Philipino. We all agreed Carribean food is all the same, we just use different names, so everything that we ate tasted familiar to us even if we didnt recognize it when we ordered. Everything was delicious (and one of us was vegan). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is cute and cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Its good for a date night but maybe too casual for an extra special date night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The prices were reasonable for how much food costs these days. read more

I'm so happy we ate at T'chaka. I'm a Bahamian in Oakland and I was jonesing for some tasty West Indian food. Their griot and pikliz delighted my palette and had me dancing in my seat. The server was warm and welcoming, and the owner/chef came by to see if we were pleased. Can't wait to go back. It was everything I hoped for. read more

Came on a Sunday with a large party for dinner. Luckily, there was quite a few number of parking spots right outside. The service was great and very attentive. This is my first time trying Haitian food as we We started with three appetizers - the wings (4/5), Akra (5/5), and a spicy coleslaw (4/5). The wings were crispy and not dry. They had a slight spice to them. The Akra was also a very interesting texture - similar to mochi and this was also very crispy. The Akra was also seasoned well. Lastly, the coleslaw helped to freshen up the palate and it was actually the spiciest dish out of the appetizers we got. For the mains, I was able to try the oxtail (4/5) and the griot (4/5). The griot was seasoned well but was a tad dry. I'm not sure if it is usually cooked that much but it was crispy. It was also very easy to eat since it was all meat and no bones. There was a slight sauce underneath it and it paired well with the rice. Some pieces had small pieces of fat that was good with the meaty parts. The plantain was also on the crispier side, but was still good. The oxtail was very soft and the sauce was on the thinner side. I do think I prefer a thicker sauce like at Coconuts in Palo Alto. There was a good amount of meat as well on the oxtails. read more

I LOVE this place! What a gift to have Haitian food on the West Coast! Though I'm not Haitian myself, I grew up in a big West Indian community and have deep appreciation for the culture and the food. My friend and I shared the Akra fritters. So so good! It came with a side of cabbage that had a nice kick. For our mains, I had oxtail stew with rice and beans and my friend had the lamb and rice. Both were delicious and so tender. I also ordered a ginger sorrel and it was PERFECT. I can't wait to bring other folks here. I was hoping there'd be a chicken stew or some Haitian stewed meatballs, but everything we had was delicious, so it makes up for not having those options. Service was great and the space was well decorated. It was a cool vibe inside; soft music playing and nice all around. Can't wait to come back! read more

I came by here because I've heard of it. And I've gotten some decent food from places long gone. That being said, I really wanted to like the food. Unfortunately, I didn't. The guy working behind the counter was totally nice and took my order. I asked for a restroom and had to go out into the market to find one. I found it because he gave me the directions and the code. I then returned for my food. I ordered the jerk chicken and the griot. They came with rice (with a smattering of beans, a hot cabbage dish, and a savory and a sweet piece of plantain. I also got a couple of drinks to go with the meals and excitedly told him that I was coming home for lunch. I grabbed the drinks which came in a cute carrier and left. The first problem is that one of the drinks fell on it's side during the ride home. And it leaked, weakening the carrier. It broke on our kitchen floor, so I spent the next 10 minutes cleaning up. My husband hurt his hand and wasn't fast enough for my liking. Then we put the food on plates to eat and it was OK. I don't know what I was expecting from griot since I've never had it before. But the main flavor to me was salt. We rice was OK. The cabbage was spicy. I gave my husband the sweet plantain and he liked it. I ate into the savory one and it was quite flacid. Then I had the jerk chicken, which was not as flavorful as jerk chickens past. It tasted of chicken with a heavy dose of salt. Again, the plain Jane rice, the spicy cabbage, and plantain. I gave him all of mine from this. I will say that I probably won't come back again. I keep reading reviews where people have a fantastic experience. I wish that would have been my experience. Unfortunately, it wasn't. read more

My husband and I are first-gen American (Caribbean parents) and native NY'ers, we planned to meet up with friends, one of whom is also a native NY'er and we all just wanted a little bit of home, since NY has everything. Personally, I've never had Haitian food, so was skeptical, it's the Bay Area. When I tell you this place didn't disappoint. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. If I had one negative thing to say, the equivalent of what we call tostones, wasn't my favorite, but it was still good; we just make it a bit different.

Service was friendly but not fast. We were there in their first anniversary and they gave us complimentary champagne. That was nice. Nice to sit outside. Would have been nicer if the dirty table had been wiped off for us. Tostines appetizer was good. Slightly spicy. The Goat curry and fried goat were both good. Not a ton of meat in the curry-- probably 50% bones and fat. The fried goat was better-- and the "fry" treatment is more like pan seared. With both were served yummy plantains. Our friends had a whole fish and vegetable stew. Both were nicely presented. Bathroom Grade B it's the shared public restroom for swans market. Not my favorite kind of food so I'm not sure I'll return but I would recommend if others want Haitian or a restaurant in the area where talking, eating and drinking are easy and the menu marked with dietary restrictions read more
