I just picked up 12 banh mi for myself and my family to eat today for under 90 dollars the bags feel close to 10 pounds and they will be delicious! I love Ba Le! Only open Friday Saturday and Sunday. Of course you know but in case you have forgotten…

Hi! I have a friend flying in for the day and I’m going to meet up with them for lunch. I’m new to Oakland so I need suggestions on a nicer sit down restaurant with good food (open to any type of cuisine) that is open for a mid-week lunch. Areas anywhere by downtown Oakland, the lake, Piedmont Ave. Thank you!

I’m leaning towards dumplings but not sure where to hit in Chinatown. Would love suggestions. Please and thank you!

Hi -- looking for recs for great Korean BBQ! We have gone to Gogi Time for years, but feel it has been going downhill post-pandemic, and we had some decent meals at Ohgane but also some less than decent ones (feels hit or miss). Is this just the reality in Oakland or are there some good spots we should try out? Thanks!!

Asked this sub a while back for info on the legendary Gregory Cinnamon Rolls and y’all came through. Saturdays at 1 PM, but get in line @ 12:30. They only have 24 a day. Pictured is the Banana Foster Cinnamon Roll and the Peach Cobbler Roll. I smashed the Banana Roll in one sitting. Perfect caramelization on the bottom of the rolls and it was fresh out the oven. The bananas had different textures and flavors too. Some were thin, crispy, and sweet, while others were soft and natural. Worth the wait. One of the best in the bay.

Only one per person, but my cousin came with me so we were able to try both flavors. Personally preferred the Banana Foster but the peach was good too! Was never a peach person so that’s why I preferred Banana.

Looking for my fix.

I used to go all the way out to Market Hall on Fourth St for my Italian sub fix but it’s permanently closed now :( where should I try next? I don’t think the Rockridge Market Hall does sandwiches but lmk if I’m wrong!

I enjoyed a last breakfast at Rick and Ann’s yesterday. Their last service is August 30th. End of an era! 💫

Why is Grullense on Fruitvale always empty? It's a damned solid sit-down Mexican restaurant with a full bar, good food and mind blowing seafood. Plus it's super cute inside.

Is it that the location looks a little sketch from the outside? It's 100% not sketch on the inside.

I want people to go there so they stick around!

Just ate at Sultan’s Kebab in Pleasanton, which is consistently delicious and worth the drive to Pleasanton. I’ve never found anything similar in Oakland/East Bay- any recommendations?

Is there a good place to pick up a bunch of fresh-baked shaobing bread, with the sesame on it?

I just want some good not-too-thick bread covered in sesame for making tomato sandwiches

I've lived in LA, San Diego and Mexican cuisine is one of my favorite cuisines but this birria pizza I had was life changing. My taste buds didn't know what hit it and saliva was being recruited from all parts of my mouth.

Based on a thread from the Alameda subreddit. I'm posting here b/c it's close to Oakland and it looks like Southie(an Oakland restaurant) is going to be serving food there.

Does anyone know of anywhere in Oakland or adjacent to Oakland where I could get this specific type of nachos? Specifically, grilled chicken instead of shredded chicken, and this kind of white melted cheese as opposed to orange cheese.

I had this beautiful plate of nachos while driving through Santa Barbara and have been craving something like this for the last year.

Please help me out!

Lol, they clearly read this sub!

Tsukemen is a ramen dish that consists of large noodles served chilled with a side of hot dipping broth (reduced tonkotsu steeped with dried fish).

They haven't had it is a long time but it's finally back tonight! One of the chef owners who lives in Japan is back in town for a visit and it is one of his favorite dishes.

Where can I get some delicious sopa de mariscos and Pozole and Menudo?

I know it's been rumored here but I saw this today in the window of the former sidebar! More than a rumor now
