    Rice with chicken and eggplant
    Sonia H.

    This is a hidden gem we found! It's located in a business building with a great view of the water. Order at the counter first and pick a table to sit indoor or outdoor. I ordered the rice plate with chicken and eggplant which I appreciate that I have the option to choose both. The grilled chicken and eggplant had tasty charred flavor which paired so well with the rice and the salad. It's definitely a great go to place I want to come back again and again!

    Lamb and couscous plate

    The view is awesome. The food is basic home cooking, generous portion of Couscous for my lamb shank plate. It is New Year's Day, this place had a special menu and belly dancing last night, perhaps they are in recovery mode.

    The flavors. It was my first time going to this restaurant. I wanted to try some Moroccan food and the flavors did not disappoint. The view from the restaurant is great. I can't wait to go back with other friends. Definitely a mom and pop vibe. Staff was friendly and clarified any questions we had on menu.

    You won't drive passed this place by chance, you have to intentionally drive to ballena island. There you will have a choice between a mediocre marina fronted restaurant and Abigail 's restaurant. Choose the latter. Choose tasteful, flavorful savors. Choose a quiet setting. Choose non microwaved. As I mentioned , it is not exactly in a central location , however I have some good news for you - you can door-dash from Abigail's Moroccan kitchen. Treat yourself with flavors.

    Chicken with couscous

    Abigail's is a hidden gem. I had my birthday party there on a Saturday night recently. Loved the salads and we tried both lamb and chicken. They were off the bones and the couscous were really good too. They belly dancing was so fun to watch. All the food and entertainment for just $35. Very worth it to make the trek out there.

    Absolutely love this little gem. Their chicken breast plate is my absolute favorite! Can't forget a cup of their hot mint tea. Always so friendly and I love the mother and daughters get to work with each other. So sweet. Such a cozy vibe with a beautiful view of the bay! Try getting your food to go and eating it on the beach by the water across the street!

    Lamb shank tagine with cuscus and fruits

    I recently travelled to Seattle. It was filled with pretty cafes and restaurants at the tourist hot spots and unfortunately some terrible and mediocre food in many of them. This place on the other hand, was an amazing find with some of the most delicious food and excellent service. From the entree to the dessert and tea - the presentation, the quality, the amount and variety were truly phenomenal. The service was also outstanding - attentive, fast, very friendly, accommodating and beyond our expectations. We had various types of lamb shank special and it was amazing. Filled with savory, sweet and delicate flavors. All of my friends loved it.

    Lamb Set Menu, Moroccan Kefta Sandwich
    Vivian Y.

    Wait Time: No wait (for a late lunch on Sunday.) Not a place to have a 'quick lunch.' Take a seat in the patio and enjoy the view of the SF skyline across the bay. Unique Factor: 2/5 - One of few Moroccan Cuisines in the Bay Area. The menu appears to consist of classic Moroccan dishes along with sandwiches with a Moroccan twist. We ordered a Lamb Set Menu and a Kefta Sandwich. The set menu is a great intro to the cuisine and generous enough for sharing. The Kefta Sandwich had nicely toasted bread filled with flavorful meat patties. Service: Casual, not a lot of service, but also nothing to complain about.

    12/14/23 Cool decor, outside seating

    Quality/Quantity - Moroccan Saffron Rice with Chicken Breast & Caramelized Onions - Good flavors. Looks like good quantity, but I was actually still hungry when I left. The chicken breast was cut thin, not good or bad, just not enough for me. And I'm a light eater... The rice and salad looked like good portions and had good flavor, but again, I left hungry. Moroccan Saffron Rice with Eggplant, Bell Peppers & Onions - My buddy ordered this and left hungry also. He joked that his eggplant was more filling than my chicken. Specials available, see picture. Atmosphere - Cool decor, especially the outside seating. Cool water views. Plenty of parking, both in the parking lot and in the street. Open 6 days a week from 10am until - See picture or Yelp. Closed Mondays. Service - Family run business, counter service. Everyone seemed nice. Went out of their way to show us the outside mall shared bathrooms. Price - $30 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2010. I can not remember the last time I was here or if there are previous business/owners? Either way, I will be back.

    There is belly dancing every Saturday night around 7:30. It is a good idea to make reservations. Have fun!

    Wooooow I'm literally blown away! Happen to be in alameda and was craving dried noodles. Looked…read morethrough Yelp and ofcourse there's tons of options. Ended up going to Chong Qing noodle house and it was a smart decision. We walked over and immediately greeted by the very nice lady. We said to go so we grabbed a menu and sat down. The lady approached us and asked if we needed reccomendation. I said I wanted dried noodles so she recommended the Zha Jiang noodles. She also recommended the wonton and some cucumbers but we ended up just getting the wonton in addition to the noodles. They prepared our foood quickly and we had it to go We took our food to the alameda brewery and as soon as open the noodles - it already smelled so good. Those noodles were amazing!!!! It was so flavorful, bouncy noodles, tender meat and together it was perfect. I did wish it comes w fried eggs. The wontons are also tasty - great taste and the chili oil is perfect I would def comeback to this place and try their other dish! And I recommend you check them out

About 15 seconds after we got our menus, that one of the servers was hovering over us. We were trying to make our decision but she would just not leave us alone, and kept pointing out options. It felt more like pressure than anything. Once we ordered the food came fairly quickly. The wings were incredibly flavorful, I'd order again in a heartbeat. The dumplings were delicious. My biggest complaint was how pushy the server was. I wanted to leave but I thought my niece wanted to stay so I didn't say anything. While we were leaving my niece said she was very uncomfortable there, but didn't want to say anything. The food was delicious, but we both agreed we'd probably order delivery next time. Our in person experience was just too unpleasant.

    It warms my heart to see that Mintleaf is still a popular staple after all these years…read more As an Alameda native, I have good memories of eating here when I was younger, and whenever I visit, I love bringing my husband here too. I wouldn't call this an authentic Vietnamese restaurant per se, more so an Asian fusion place, but Mintleaf holds its own in terms of flavor, freshness, and variety. Service has always been attentive, and while small, the restaurant is clean, cozy, and modern. There is also outdoor seating if you are bringing a dog. I have dined with my well-behaved, well-trained Siberian in the past. Recently, we were in Alameda to do my dog's birthday photoshoot in honor of my previous dog, and I wanted to go to Mintleaf again. It was later in the evening, and I saw that they close at 8 pm. We arrived around 7:20 and while the staff were starting to clean up since the restaurant was empty, they still greeted us with a smile and seated us promptly. Not long after we arrived, a small group of people also came to sit down, and they were also seated. Another individual arrived to place a to-go order. My husband went with the scallops and prawns over garlic noodles, and I went with their version of bun rieu. We did not have to wait long for our food to be brought to the table. My husband's noodles arrived first, served with their classic plating of slices of tomato and cucumber on the corners of the plate (they have done this as long as I can remember). Soon, my bun rieu arrived, including a small side of herbs. My broth was piping hot and delicious. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and while they were thinner than the usual bun rieu noodles, they still absorbed the flavor of the broth well. The cha was thinly-sliced, and there was a good amount of tofu in the bowl as well. Even though the bowl might look small, it was a perfect dinner portion, and with plenty of broth. I was definitely full after savoring each last drop of broth. My husband loved his garlic noodle dish. There was a good helping of both scallops and prawns, and the noodles were deliciously garlicky. I had a sample of the noodles and they were so good. There are other dishes I've tried in the past, such as the pad Thai and sizzling spicy lemongrass chicken, and they have both been excellent as well (sorry I have no recent photos). Mintleaf is not your usual Vietnamese restaurant, especially with its classier touch, but personally I enjoy their dishes, and will definitely return when I want an Asian fusion wrinkle to my Vietnamese food.
