The former Wise Sons location is under construction and looks like it'll be a new Peruvian ceviche spot!

Hi! I’m trying to order some catering trays for my birthday at the end of next month for about 35 people. I’ve looked at ez catering but would love personal recommendations on light bite/finger food style catering you’ve enjoyed, especially from spots that let you order full trays.

Trying to plan for a Valentine's Day Dinner! Please let me know your recs for a romantic dinner! Down for any cuisines!

Howdy yall… any tips of where to get pizza and wings from the same place AND they will be good. I know several spots I enjoy pizza from but I want to get wings as well and those places don’t do both. Any help is appreciated

I’m looking to buy cold smoked Mackerel

Just gotta shout this place out. Excellent bagels, unique bagel sandwiches. The sushinova is probably my favorite at the moment. I know they are in Berkeley but yall should go if you haven't yet!

Where's the best place to buy live Dungeness right now? Any spots to buy direct from boat in Oakland/Berkeley/East Bay?

Hey I'm looking to buy my fiance and knife and Chinatown and I was wondering if there's any particular places I should be checking out?

We have a 4 months old and we love our Thursday date nites and wanna keep them. But we need suggestions please 🙏

Hadn’t been here in a while but it is half empty and the new places all seem worse than the places that used to be here. I went with a couple of friends and the food was just so mediocre from some of the places.

Rents too high? Overestimated the traffic?

Anything we should have tried of the newer places that we didn’t? The Greek place was not good at all. Sushi was okay but nothing special… BBQ was solid. didn’t try Ramen Hirose…

Where is a good spot in town for a bookclub meeting of about 10 people? Preferably with outdoor options if possible, and a place that doesn't blast loud music. Thanks!

Any suggestions? My current go to is shawarmaji but looking to change it up and try somewhere new! TIA

Google is saying they’re permanently closed but there’s nothing on their IG or website. I feel like I just got food from them like 2 weeks ago.

Hello,

I’m new to west Oakland and I’m on the hunt for some Girl Scout cookies. Any help would be appreciated!

Where can I find the best taro-filled steamed buns in Oakland? There are lots of bakeries and I'm wondering which is your favorite for this particular type. I'm not a huge red bean fan but I love taro buns. Would like to get some for my birthday. :)

Hi. I'm looking for a meal delivery service in Oakland to help out a friend experiencing some health issues. It's a family of four—two adults and two kids around middle-school age. Looking for complete meals that require nothing more than reheating and can be frozen if need be. No dietary restrictions. Thank you.

Any suggestions on where to snag good coffee beans? Thanks in advance.

Where is a good bar to watch the Eagles - Commanders game today?

I had a shawarma elsewhere recently wrapped in this and I like it better than pita.

Is there anywhere in Oakland (or Berkeley or Alameda) that sells saj bread that I can use for my own wraps?

Ahoy, neighbors and Oakland food lovers. Hope you are all having a lovely Saturday.

I'm on a new-to-me journey: making my own tempeh. Does anyone have leads on where to find Rhizopus Mold (tempeh fermentation starter) locally?

Berkeley Bowl West does not carry it today, and they are the only grocery store I've tried so far. They did have soybeans in bulk. I can def order off Amazon, but I'm moving away from that resource as much as possible these days.

Where do you get yours? Bonus if you want to share any tempeh making tips. I have some solid youtube videos for guidance, and I think I'm going to try banana leaves for the first pass.

Thanks for help!

Went to F&F last night and ordered every one of their dishes. Before you think I'm a pig, their menu's small and I had a big group of friends to share everything with. The bill wasn't even bad, it was something like $100 per person (before tip) and we all had multiple cocktails. The Les Eggs and rice cakes were the standouts, but I couldn't believe how good everything was. Even something as simple as a yaki onigiri with miso paste was exceptional. Highly recommend going - make a reservation online on their website (via Resy) first and you won't have to wait. Cocktails are also fantastic. Great vibes all around. Really hope they can last because we know how hard it is for restaurants/bars even when the restaurant gets hype/media buzz. Plus their food servings are meant for small bites, not full meals, so it's not a place to go get stuffed.

What are some good options for Valentine’s day? Help! I missed the That’s Amore menu at Friends and Family.

We’re hosting 50 people at our place (including 20 three year olds) for my son’s morning birthday party.

Since it’s a toddler play date birthday, food isn’t the focus, but we want to figure out easy finger foods that are transportable around the house, toddler friendly, but still elevated.

I’m thinking bread and butter, pastries, fruit grazing table/ platters.

Any recommendations on local catering companies that could put something together? Budget is $500-1000.
