As an Oakland native, this location made me proud. Despite the surrounding circumstances, the inside was impeccable and the staff looked well kempt. I ordered a sausage hash brown breakfast burrito and was pleasantly surprised. It was hella good!! I usually opt for the French toast but decided to try something new. I'm glad I did. I think I may like their burrito over the egg mcmuffin.

Came here for a lunch date with hubby. We dont come to San Leandro often so not sure how was the…read moreparking situation. We saw a street parking as soon as we turn, and just parked even though it was 1000 ft away. The drink/cocktail list is vast, but we are not much of a cocktail drinker and not usually drink during lunch, but I saw Matcha Sharka being ordered a lot and the other seemingly popular drink was this lavender drink. If you are a cocktail drinker during lunch, do check them out. We ordered 4 shareable items: * Savoy Donuts - 5 stars - fluffy and yummy, not greasy at all * Focaccia w/ Meyer Lemon and Garlic Confit - 4.5 stars - wonderful texture, did not taste the garlic much but the lemon was really good add. * Grilled Beef and Pork Chipolata - 4 stars - I think the star was the dressing. The meat itself was just okay. * Rice Vermicelli Bowl - 4.5 stars - not sure why it is called a bowl when it was served more in a plate. This is the fusion take on the Vietnamese dish with different dressing. We selected the Galangal Pork, which I did not like as much compared to the usual Vietnamese ones with Lemon Grass. There is a choice to select Lemongrass chicken instead, so you might want to try that. The pork tasted "porky" despite it was thinly cut. I was hoping to try dessert, but we were full so we did not do that. Next time. The restaurant is nicely set, and you can select indoor or outdoor seating. We did make a reservation, but when we arrived there were plenty of tables available. Service was fine, we did not get the "is this your first time" greeting as I heard other tables got. But it was our first time.

This spot is a little hidden, but once you go inside, it is its own little oasis. Small and intimate, you know the dishes are made fresh. We enjoyed the tissue bread (10/10), seared rice cake (8/10), oxtail (10/10), and more that isn't pictured. I think this is a great celebratory dinner spot. I'd love to come back to try more seasonal specials.

She made suggestions and just made our visit feel enjoyable. I would definitely suggest them instead of other popular fast food chains because the food was good the place has its own vibe. After sharing with family and friends a bunch of them mentioned they liked this place too and they pass by here so now they want to try it too We customized a lot on the loaded fries (FYI) it's usually dressed up more than what we ordered Must get item as well in my book

Located in the Fruitvale area right next to the BART station, you will need to be mindful of where you park. Since we were here on a Sunday afternoon we were able to utilize the BART lot for free. The interior is bright, simple and open space with several tables. We chose to dine outside under the giant tree covered patio. It's a nice relaxing space, and the owners do a good job of keeping the panhandlers from bothering the diners. The girls running the store on this Sunday were super sweet, attentive and helpful throughout our stay. The four of us shared several dishes and all were really quite good. Everything was very fresh and well prepared. Know before you go... Wahpepah's Kitchen specializes in true native American cuisine. The food is simply prepared, fresh and local which means the menu may change depending upon what is available locally as the seasons change. I love that aspect, and their commitment to sourcing fresh local products. Of all the items we ordered, I personally loved the bison frybread and bison tacos (meat eater here), the mushroom and pumpkin seed mole and the Three Sisters veggie bowl were also great.

Small shop but gets crowded fast! We had reservations, so we were good to go! :-)…read more Every single thing we ordered was delicious. We tried: Hibiscus Tacos Bison Meatballs (A personal favorite!) Kickapoo Bison Chili Hibiscus & Corn Silk Tea (So refreshing!) Interestingly, the meal reminded me of flavors from different parts of the world--it's amazing how cooking styles diffuse globally. The frybread has strong similarities to a Cantonese fried dough called ham chim peng (sometimes served plain like this, or stuffed with red or sweet lotus paste). The bison chili also vaguely reminded me of a hearty minestrone soup, albeit with a richer tomato base. Our absolute standouts were the meatballs and the corn silk tea. Definitely a spot worth checking out, just make sure to book ahead! Service was good.

I had chicken fried oysters mushrooms with cabbage and black eyed peas over rice, and a side of red beans and rice. The mushrooms were seasoned and fried to perfection. The cabbage was cooked well like I prefer not to soft still has a bite to it. The black eyed peas and rice were also good. The red beans were also good. The only drawback was I wish they had more vegan items. I definitely will go back and try out their brunch. Also ordered the shrimp, étouffée and mac & cheese for my family. My aunt loves their shrimp étouffée and mac & cheese. She's picky especially since we're from Louisiana so I know it's good.

When we walked in, there were already a few customers, and the space itself was clean, vibrant, and welcoming. The customer care was outstanding from the start. We were greeted right away, and the staff checked in on us throughout our visit to make sure we were good and didn't need anything. Our food came out in about 10 minutes or less, which was impressive. We ordered a few steak hoagies, cheesesteak egg rolls, and their lemonade -- and wow. Everything was mouthwatering, rich in flavor, perfectly cheesy, and clearly prepared with mindfulness and loving energy. The lemonade was super refreshing and tied everything together perfectly. It all fully satisfied my craving. Saucy Hut always nails the flavor, and this new location is one of a kind -- from the food to the customer care. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND stopping by if you're in the East Bay. You won't be disappointed!
