Absolutely phenomenal food! The best salad I've had in YEARS! Wonderful sauces to accompany the chicken. Delicious vegetables and rice. I'm in heaven! Order in person using a qr code at 2207 Macdonald, or use their website. Payment is through Apple pay, Google pay, and I believe.Pay Pal. Wait time was about 30 minutes and absolutely worth the wait! I highly recommend, you will not be disappointed! Thank you 2207! read more

2207 - Chicken and rice with delicious sauces - Korean Near Me - Richmond, California

See all

Now here's a place that I didn't expect to find in an area of Richmond not known as a culinary destination. The name of this nondescript takeout operation is actually its address on Macdonald Avenue. Ironically, the most popular place to eat in this neighborhood is McDonald's. I barely found it because it looks like a vacant storefront with a For Lease sign. A red OPEN sign was the only giveaway. I happened to read that this place offers some excellent Korean-style dishes. I think the menu can be more accurately described as global. It's apparently a mother-and-son business with the kitchen run by a Korean-American chef named Daniel who doesn't share his last name. His mother works the front of the house, and people order beforehand and come in for pick up. There's a community table presumably set up for dining, but the space felt more like a dental waiting area. Through the order window, I could see Daniel way in the back beyond a passthrough. I used their QR code to review the menu and order on the spot. All the entrees appeared enticing including Grilled Short Rib and Fried Pitman Farms Chicken. I chose the $24.50 Market Grain Salad. It was beautifully presented even in a takeout box (Photo 9). There was a mix of arugula, iceberg, romaine, and Treviso radicchio at the base topped with visual jewels: Fuji apple, Sonia Rojas cara cara orange, blood orange, mandarin orange, muscat grapes, and avocado. Further toppings included spring onion., tarragon, sunflower seeds, English cucumber, heirloom carrots, and French breakfast radish. Farro, red quinoa, and French feta cheese added more layers of flavor and texture. Harissa grilled Pitman Farms chicken provided a succulent serving of protein, and a unique sesame soy lemon chili dressing finished off a masterful creation. It was an impeccable salad. The $11 Skin On Gaufrette Fries were cross-cut and impossibly tender with a tasty dipping sauce (Photo 6). A genuine winner! FOOD - 5 stars...honestly one of the best entree salads assembled plus light waffle fries that delight AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...not meant for dining but the space serves its purpose SERVICE - 4.5 stars...very conscientious, just took a half-hour for my order TOTAL - 5 stars...this is a hidden gem in Richmond..it's an eight-minute walk from BART if that works better for you RELATED - Exploring Richmond?

Just okay food. The prices are way too steep given the quality of the food. I have never paid $30+ for a hamburger and did in this case as I had a gift card that I was trying to use up. We also had the fried chicken which wasn't anything special. We were so hoping that the food was going to be A+ and it wasn't. It's a no for us in the future. read more

Hidden gem!!! Cannot sleep on this place. Everything that was put together was pure flavor. Side salad with the dressing phenomenal. Light crisp fried chicken with the waffle fries. Fire! read more

Attention to detail with ingredients, food quality and flavor was excellent. Highly recommend for takeout if you're looking for high quality ingredients ( no seed oils). Overall presentation was great and the chicken was juicy and flavorful while still feeling like "clean" eating. The salad speaks for itself, please try it!

2207 - GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST, GARLIC SOY LEMON GLAZE, CHILI CRISP - Korean Near Me - Richmond, California

This was our first time trying 2207 after finding it on Yelp with great ratings. It did not disappoint us. We especially liked the fried chicken sandwich. It is served with delicious, unique lattice shaped french fries and three tasty sauces. Some people didn't rate the atmosphere very high. There's just one large table where you can eat. We took our meals home. We had enough to eat the next day for lunch so that made the $$ more reasonable. You could easily split a sandwich in 2. We will go back. read more

Best thing to happen to Richmond. Excellent authentic food. Fresh and tasty. No dine in. Just carry out. Great concept. Very tasty. read more

Customer service was excellent! One of the better fried chicken (my hubby says, top 3) in the bay! Don't sleep on this. The kalbi beef sandwich was so delicious; taste the char, tender, and flavorful meat on a fresh roll.. yumm!! I'm coming back!! read more

I guess I didn't read the online reviews carefully, because I didn't realize this place was takeout only. My husband and I came on a Friday. Ordering system was easy to navigate, but took a while to wait since we didn't know it was online ordering only. Food was delicious. Service was great. The lady working there saw that we were eating inside (probably very rare for them?) and she gave us free water bottles. I enjoyed both items we ordered, the Harissa chicken and the pork belly sandwich. I cannot wait to come again and try more items! Street parking wasn't hard to find. But the area was a little worrisome. I would've never expected to find a bougie restaurant like this within a block of a motel 6, a mortuary, and a Mexican grocery store. And from the outside you can barely tell that it's a restaurant. I really wish they had chairs for sit down meal. Here's the link for ordering ahead: https://twenty2zero7.square.site/?location=11eb70099aab40c6889eac1f6bbbd01e&customer_seat_id=11ed352c3d5c1e0c88060a58f67b29f8#64 read more

I love ordering for delivery cause it gives you an opportunity to try different foods in a pinch from far away if you're willing to pay a little extra. I wanted some soup and I wasn't close by home so I tried this place today and ordered the Buta pork and truffle dumplings soup! Delicious!!!! it came with a good amount of dumplings that were huge and the flavor was to die for! The soup had a unique flavor of truffle with chopped bok choy and arrived piping hot! It was a big pricey with delivery at a cost of $31 and some change but worth it not to have to go out and get it as I have a deadline today dis work! Most definitely have to try the other dishes there! read more

Fantastic hole in the wall gem!!!! Uncluttered sleek minimalist interior although not warm & inviting but books, a long table & bench w/plants for decor. Efficient service thru front interior window either: order by phone, online scan available. The outside doesn't look like a restaurant, only the address 2207 is visible so you could miss this hidden treasure if not paying attention ! The menu did not show any vegan selections but I was able to speak w/ Daniel, the chef & he assured me he could make up an impromptu vegan dish not on the menu & modify the grain salad for me - how accommodating !!! It was ready for pickup @ my requested time & packaged up in a brown bag w/handles! I had to open up my cardboard containers to see what he made for me - very impressive presentation for a boxed salad: mixed gourmet greens w/ arugula, grapes, persimmon & apple & pear slices, avocado, fluffy quinoa, radicchio, pomegranate, romaine, cucumber, Shaved radish & carrot & slices of Yukon gold potato, sunflower seeds ! The impromptu vegan dish contained roasted broccolini, large white beans, arugula, tiny brown beech mushrooms resting on a piece of sourdough w/crunchy housemade croutons & olives, shaved carrots & radish & a tasty vinaigrette dressing containing whole olives!! A feast for the eyes & the tummy ! I loved the different textures, colors & variety of veggies ! One of the best "takeout salads" I ever ate ! WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Daniel has skills My friend got the Kalbi on a robust Acme bun w/ arugula, peppers & sauce ? She was seriously coming back to order something for dinner, although she only finished 1/2 her sammie read more

Obaasan is cooking up some of the best fusion I've had. This fried chicken sandwich is delicious - juicy, crispy and with a hint of spice in the sauce they give you. I could eat this over and over and over if my waistline allowed me. Waffle fries - a classic and you cannot go wrong. Salad - I felt that you did not need too much dressing with all the natural dressing from the fruits. It was light, refreshing and not too sweet (a good thing) The scallops were yummy and cooked well; I did enjoy eating the beans and veggies with it as well. But there were about 4 scallops for $25, which I feel is to steep to justify it. I'm definitely coming back to get more sandwiches and salads from this spot. read more

2207 - Fried chicken sandwich, waffle fries, salad, scallop - Korean Near Me - Richmond, California

Great hole-in-the-wall spot if you're craving Asian fusion. Went here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised with how good the food was. The place is managed by only two people, so it took a while for the food to come out, however they were very kind and offered us free bottled water while we were waiting. The food was definitely worth the wait. The chicken was very tender and tasted amazing with the chili oil and sauce! One thing to note, there is little to no indoor seating as it is mainly a takeout place. 2207 is definitely on the pricier side, however their food is definitely worth a try! read more

2207 - MARKET GRAIN SALAD, HARISSA GRILLED CHICKEN, SESAME SOY LEMON DRESSING - Korean Near Me - Richmond, California

I'm so excited I was able to finally try 2207. Everything was delicious. I got the burger and fried chicken. The food was hot and flavorful and I loved how all the sauces were packed with care. The ranch was top tier, the fresh tarragon on top really was chefs kiss. I should have got cheese on my burger but it was still rich and juicy. Make sure you order ahead online and be prepared to pay with card. I don't know if you can sit inside. I waited in their lobby but there weren't tables set up. I'm glad you are here 2207! read more

Incredible take-out only eatery offering inventive, well-crafted dishes in a sketchy neighborhood (watch your step on the sidewalk is all I'll say). You order in advance, either on their Square site, by calling them, or else scanning the barcode when you arrive, which just takes you to their Square site. We were excited to finally have a day off that aligns with 2207's limited hours, so we slightly over-ordered: Kurabuta pork and truffle oil dumpling soup, karubi-don (short rib rice bowl), fried chicken sandwich, and Gaufrette fries (waffle fries). First, the soup is STUNNING. The broth was light but had a wonderful depth thanks to the smoked bacon and lemon zest, and adding a touch of the included black vinegar only bumped that up. It had about 5 large, juicy pork dumplings that were beautifully wrapped and packed with flavor. The soup alone gets this place five stars. Our entrees were also delicious. The karubi-don was tasty, with tender and well-sauced grilled beef. The chicken sandwich was ok, although it was outshone by the soup and the rice bowl. The included fines herbes ranch was great with the Gaufrette fries. I'll definitely be craving the dumpling soup and the short rib rice bowl, and can't wait to go back! read more

The finest take out in the East Bay or anywhere in the Bay Area as far as I'm concerned. The fact that he makes this variety of dishes from this tiny hole-in-the-wall steps away from a hair salon and a bodega makes it all the more impressive. This place belongs in Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto, but I am thrilled that it's less than 10 minutes from home. The portions are substantial and the quality is incredible. The flavors are Asian (Korean-influenced) but so reflective of the chefs whose cookbooks adorn the interior. I enjoy picking up my orders, so I can chat a bit with his sweet mother who hands me my bag of goodies with a smile and thanks. She's so grateful that people come to enjoy her son's cooking; it's very endearing. My mission is to try every item and I'm getting close. My go-to is the Market Salad with harissa grilled chicken. Depending on my mood, I'll either get the fries or the dumpling soup as my accompaniment. All of it is good to share or keep for two additional meals. You can't go wrong with the rice bowls (beef rib or chicken) or the sandwiches. Tip: order through the square site and pick up if you can to save $$. But if you can't get this any other way, pay for an app delivery. It's worth it. read more

Best fried chicken in Richmond, and it's not close. If you're in the area, you should check them out.

In search of fresh, local biz, mom-and-pop, SEASONAL, farm-to-table WITHOUT the overly expensive and bougie attitude? 2207 is the holy grail. I was in the Richmond area and wanted to try some place new, and saw all 5 stars for this spot. Let me tell you. 2207 definitely earned all of their stars. IF ONLY there were better parking options. I ordered takeout, same day, for lunch pickup, online menu is super easy to maneuver. They seem to have dine-in option too, but honestly I'm not sure how people do that since street parking is rough out here, plus it's not entirely the safest neighborhood from what I could tell. Regardless, if you're doing takeout, you can call them, turn on your hazard lights, and tell them you're here for pickup so their sweet ahjumma can come running out with your order! I wanted something on the fresh and light, since I was heading to a brewery afterwards and their chicken salad caught my eye. Harissa grilled chicken, stonefruit, bing cherries, satsuma, avocado, sweet Brentwood corn (just to name a few items in the salad) I mean WHAT! All of that nutritious goodness, beautiful colors, and they name where they source their ingredients? Like sign me the eff up! The presentation did not disappoint, even when I opened my takeout box, I felt like I was opening up a Christmas gift. I thought I would have some salad left over, but ya girl demolished all of it. All of the flavors were so juicy, refreshing and textures melded so well together. I love the sesame soy lemon dressing that came with, thank you for the two--I kept the other one in my fridge so I could use it for future meals. I wish I could see what the interior looked like, but being from out of the area, I think parking was the main issue. Both the son and mom on the phone sounded so lovely and kind! Thank you for doing what y'all clearly do SO well, definitely down to support again...maybe dine in? The portions were huge, food so fresh, and service warm-hearted. read more

2207 - Harissa grilled chicken salad amazing! - Korean Near Me - Richmond, California

We audibly gasped when we walked in and saw the sign that they only do preorders now, a day ahead! We haven't been here in a year and remembered how delicious their food was so we drove here on a whim. Luckily, I rang the little door bell hanging near the sign at the window and the owner came and greeted us. I asked with hope in my voice if they only take preorders. A smile spread through my face behind my mask when he responded that they have a few items left. We immediately chose the fried chicken and patty melt. We heard them place the chicken in the fryer by the glorious oil bubbling that gives me a Pavlovian response everytime. Good thing I had a mask to hide my drool. Less than 10 min later, a nice lady handed us the carefully packaged meals. We couldn't get home fast enough to enjoy our chicken with rice IYKYK. We took a bite/ bites in the car and both did a MMMYUMMMM for both the chicken and patty melt. The fried chicken comes with a side salad OR waffle fries. The batter is super crisp and the chicken is juicy. 2 large leg quarters for $14? A steal! The patty melt is on levain bread with pickles. No side salad, fyi. A bit pricey for just a sandwich, but I would get it again. The meat was super flavorful, moist and the grilled onions kept the whole thing juicy. A great place for amazing food. Order ahead or come at your own risk and play food roulette. You can't go wrong with either choice. read more

The fried chicken is the only thing I've ever gotten and it hits every time. First time I had this place was pre-covid and I was so scared they would never come back after covid. They did and it continues to hit every single time. Also the lovely older woman who always helps me is so sweet and lovely. And I wish my home was decorated like the interior. The lights, the plants. It's amazing. Wish I still worked around there to go more frequently. read more

I was really looking forward to this place after reading a ton of mouth watering reviews. It was VERY GOOD: delicious, everything was made with care and attention to detail. I had the Harissa Chicken Salad, my friend got the Kalbi place, and we split the pork wonton soup. I couldn't taste the harissa (and I'm the type of person who has tried EVERY brand of harissa to make Tunisian style shakshuka). Nothing blew my mind, but it was solid. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get it again. read more

Kurabuta pork and truffle oil dumpling soup easily served two as did the fried organic chicken breast sandwich on an Acme torpedo roll. Soup was complex and wonderful. Sandwich was hearty. The house-made pickles were just one more excellent thing about it. Will take pic next time. Big sandwich. Pick up times are accurate, if you arrive very early they have beautiful cookbooks to page through. Service is excellent. Once I found parking right in front. More often arrived at pickup time, order was ready, back in car in less than 5 minutes. Also, parking on west side of 23rd just north of Macdonald. There are fewer spots on east side of 23rd because of curb cutouts for the large McDonald's parking lot. (And if you see a hint there, OK.) read more

The restaurant is not difficult to find. Street parking is very limited . Once inside, no tables for dine-inn . Seems to be mainly for takeout . The menu is located on the wall, could be difficult to read because of the layout of the words. Also have a QR code for full menu. Service was good:) the food was delicious . I really appreciate the transparency of all the ingredients for every items . The chicken sandwich was not greasy and the salad was fresh and full of flavor!! read more

The chicken salad is second to none. My wife and I love it. Their fried chicken is tasty as well. A hole in the wall gem!

Great find in Richmond! The chicken salad is bomb! Everything was so fresh and tasted like it was just prepped on demand. I couldn't stop eating! I don't know any other place that makes such an amazing salad! There were iceberg, arugula, sweet red and green grapes, nectarines, thinly shaved cucumbers, radish, fennel, orange and purple carrots, corn just off the cob, avocado, bejeweled grapefruit and feta cheese. Where else can you get such variety and value? I ate the rest of my salad 5 hours later and everything was still fresh. We also got the fried chicken w/ a side market salad. This salad was also nicely crafted with delicious components, just like the entree size salad! The chicken was crunchy, hot and a generous portion, not greasy at all. Hot sauce added some nice kick. Love to return and try the other dishes. The folks behind the counter are super nice. It's take out only and parking can be challenging, but this place is definitely worth trying. read more

Amazing fresh ingredients. My favorite is the chicken salad. Easy to order and deliver is quick with DoorDash.

Wow - a real cut above the average. Great food! Beautiful presentation. Is that 85 characters yet?

Thx to Yelp I discovered this hidden gem. Food was amazing, only thing missing is a dessert menu. Ordered four dishes to share with friends - pork and truffle oil dumpling soup, fried chicken with herb ranch, grilled albacore tuna salad, and harissa grilled chicken salad. Everything was made with fresh and quality ingredients. The flavors were layered and not basic. Excellent value too. Five stars but please add a dessert menu. read more

I plan to consume every meal on that menu. Service is great as well. Nice design to the shop.

I'll keep it simple. The Kurobuta pork and truffle oil dumpling soup is the best thing I've eaten in North America in the last 2 years. It reminded me of eating in Taiwan or Japan -- impeccably executed, with a clear broth and bacon-kissed mushrooms, but homey in it's flavors. The wrapper of the wonton has a little bit of Q texture, and the filling is springy yet plush in it's fattiness. It kicks ass. No crumbs, no notes. We also ordered the side salad, karubi-don, and pork belly sandwich. All three were between very good to excellent. The pork belly was tender, well-seasoned, nice bitter bite to the greens and sweet-acidity to the pickled onions, along with little crispy bits (chicharrones?) A very well-balanced sandwich, maybe could use 5% less of the spicy mayonaise as it was slightly messy to eat. The side salad had a presentation that seemed both meticulous and homey; apple slices and grapes nestled against a chiffonade of radish and cucumbers, with an absolutely delicious sesame dressing. For me, the karubi-don was the least interesting; short-rib was tended and well cooked, the sauce tasted like a classic teriyaki sauce (although very well made). Perfect medium-short grain white rice, though. 4/4 dishes were good, one was exquisite. The ladies here know what they're doing and the quality of the ingredients shows. Prices are reasonable (dare I say low, particularly given where they source their meat). Will be back again and again. read more

2207 is an absolute hidden gem. The food is exceptional--every dish feels like it's made with so much care and attention to detail. What set this place apart is the mother and son duo who runs it. She's so kind and always remembers me, greeting me warmly and wishing me a happy and good lunch every time I stop by. It's rare to find food this good paired with such heartfelt hospitality. read more

Love this hidden gem! My friends and I learned about it from some food article about Richmond restaurants a few years ago. We tried it and loved it but since I work in San Francisco and they're not open on weekends, I didn't have a chance to eat there often. They closed during the pandemic and my friend told me when she found out they were open but you now have to order at least a day in advance and schedule a pickup. The food is still excellent! The first time I did an online order, I went to pick up the next day and the chef told me it would just be another minute as my fries were just finishing. When he came out with my order, he told me he accidentally made the salad instead of fries but included both plus a pudding. Not only were the fries so crispy and hot, but the salad was delicious and made me think about ordering it in the future even though I usually get the fries. Their fried chicken is so crispy and delicious and you get a huge portion of 2 quarters. This last time I ordered the crispy pan fried noodles with steak and prawns. The noodles didn't stay super crispy by the time I got home, but the abundance of toppings and how tasty it was made up for it. read more

The Kalbi sandwich is seriously incredible! It's the next day and I'm still thinking about it. The acme bread is fresh and soft to eat but hardy enough to hold up to the sandwich. The inside had decedent Korean beef which was lighted up with bright toppings of cucumber, apple, picked onion, and arugula. All put together the sandwich was filling but didn't weigh you down. 2207 is an unassuming shop in the middle of Richmond. Parking is a little tricky but you can find street parking. You order at the counter and they make the meal fresh to order. They have some benches to wait at and one communal standing table if you would like to eat there. read more

2207 is an incredible, anomalous thing. As another reviewer put it, if there could be such a thing as a One-Michelin-Star high-brow-low-brow Asian-American-fusion takeout-only place, this would be it. The care with which ingredients, preparation, and presentation are/is given is impeccable for every single time that I've been there (which is into the double-digits at this point). I still can't really wrap my head around why this level of culinary aspiration exists at the periphery of the infamous Iron Triangle (still in a not-particularly-great neighborhood) behind a non-descript storefront that doesn't even have signage that suggests it serves food! Protip #1: order through their Square site roughly 30 minutes before you hope to arrive, unless you need it even later, for which you can schedule an they will oblige. They just need the ~30 minute lead time. Protip #2: if you have to wait, peruse their collection of culinary coffee table books laying about, and you might even come across an issue of Lucky Peach. The David Chang influence is real. read more

I was lucky to get free street parking right in front when arrived at about 1pm. The space is bigger than I thought it would be since I read that it was take out only. It looks like they have enough space to put in tables and chairs for people to dine in, but they only have some benches which people used while they waited for their order. It may be due to staffing? I think there was only one person making the food and one person who took people's order. I ordered their Kalbi sandwich and the chicken with fries. It took about 15-20 minutes to prepare and the wait was worth it because everything came out so fresh. Chicken was super hot, fries were nice and crispy, etc. My favorite was the kalbi sandwich. It even tasted good as left overs. Pros: -generous portions. The chicken pieces were huge -the kalbi sandwich was nice and tasty -accept credit cards Cons: -this place does not focus on dine in. It's more of a take out type of establishment -street parking can be tricky read more
