Wow so good! Anna May was our server for the night and she was so sweet. 10/10 on service. We came on a Thursday night and it was just us and two other tables so it was great timing. This is the first time I've had Filipino food and didn't feel terrible afterwards. Usually I'm used to the food being very heavy, oily, and lots of sodium or msg. This was the complete opposite. The lumpia and lechon were fried very well, not oily at all. Anna May told us they change their oil daily, that is great! The pork in the adobo and the soup were sooooo tender. Like melt in your mouth tender. Also the yam with the sour cream, chefs kiss I will try to copy that at home. I loved every dish! read more

Delicious, Filipino food with a Western twist. You can fill up on classic Filipino breakfast/brunch food here while enjoying new creations like the French toast with ube butter. (!!!) Servers are nice and treat you like friends right away. I'd say it's a little rough around the edges, but that's part of the charm. Nice ambiance and modern musicZ read more

I finally tried FOB Kitchen and it lived up to the hype. The space is super cute! We ordered the lechon kawali silog and tocino silog, and both were delicious. The pork belly was crispy and juicy, the tocino was sweet and flavorful, and the garlic rice + egg combo never misses. Definitely try their house hot sauce! The mango iced tea was super refreshing, and the pandan iced coffee was really good. We ended with halo halo, which was perfect for the hot day, and grabbed lumpia and wings to-go. Overall, great vibes, amazing service, and really solid Filipino food. I'd definitely come back. read more

Pretty interior with lots of sunlight and plants cute. Great service plenty of parking. Lumpia was perfectly crispy and not too thick. House made sauces were delicious as well. Thrice cooked pork belly had a nice crunch, but got stuck to teeth a bit. Milk fish was a bit dry But garlic rice was so aromatic. We got a Filipino dessert with Ube ice cream and coconut shaved ice with jelly, tasted a bit artificial, but not too sweet and refreshing read more

I feel like this is a secret gem that is underrated!! Visited here in December and wow, this is such an easy hidden gem that I often think about. If you want Filipino food this is the only one you should be getting. This restaurant is also on the recognized so wonderfully by the industry and Michelin guide, but accessible for everyone. The servers here are nonchalant, cool, feel like family and talk to you like you've known them your whole life. I had a matcha drink and it was so delicious. The silog is not a miss here with everything just perfect to taste from texture to also the flavor. The place is bigger than expected, spacious, and just feels good to be in. Best Filipino food at a restaurant level but also great service and place from me who never really enjoyed Filipino food outside of my household until this spot. A true homage to Filipino food!!! read more

I had a really nice brunch with my family here. First, give yourself enough time to find parking. The lot is small, so you may have to search for street parking. We ordered chicharron and lumpia to start. My family digged in right away, so there was more chicharron than what I picture. It was good - crunchy and salty. The lumpia was also yummy, full of pork flavor. Don't sleep on it. As for my entree I got the tocsilog, which is the tocino egg and rice plate. The pork was salty and sweet, and had a nice char from the grill. The garlic rice complemented the tocino well, and the egg added a yolky richness. And I'm glad it came with a side of mixed salad since it was a heavy meal. It was my cousin's birthday, so she got a scoop of Ube ice cream with turon. It was delicious and not too sweet. I loved the caramelization. We also got mango sticky rice to share. The mango was really fresh, and the coconut was refreshing. Service was great! We were welcomed like family. We had to sit outside though because we had our dog, so we missed out on the tropical vibes inside. I wish there was an umbrella for shade, but it was also nice to be in the sun as the weather in Oakland at that time was beautiful. I would love to come back again for dinner. read more

**3.5 stars for dine-in experience** Visited with buddy Hazel for Sunday brunch. No line or busy at opening. Quickly greeted and seated and given menus. This was my first dine-in experience with my first visit being take out of pancit. Unfortunately, noodles were overcooked and mushy but didn't do a review at the time as they were new and wanted to give it another try. Visit on Sunday, 11/2/2025 11am: :: Fried chicken silog - not my favorite. Exterior crunchy but almost a hard shell vs light and crispy and broke off into large pieces with each bite. Maybe an off day but 3/5 for me. :: Lechon Kawali silog - pork belly fried with a vinegar dipping sauce, rice and mixed greens. I love lechon and have tried many. I thought it was overcooked and a tad dry... 3.5/5 :: Lumpia Shanghai - thicker wrap, cut in half and fried with bottled sweet chili sauce Hmm again it was a bit dry for me and tasted re-fried/heated. I know I'm unpopular opinion but open to trying again at some point. With so many Filipino restaurants, I didn't find it special (for the price) other than the energetic vibe, customer service and location off Telegraph where not many like spots. But now I'm off to get my Filipino-fried chicken fix at a hole-in-the wall spot in Fremont. Price/person without drinks: $32. Small shared parking lot with metered street parking read more

FOB Kitchen - We had the milk fish and the bistec steak and chicken wings for an appetizer and it was incredible. - Filipino Near Me - Oakland, California

LOCATION: Telegraph/51st PARKING: Small lot, but free parking! WHAT WE ORDERED: * Tocino ($18) - Simple rice dish that feels very homey -- my favorite part was the meat! * Longanisa Hash ($19) - Easily my favorite dish. The meat was sweeter than I expected. I thought it was gonna be salty, but I liked the sweetness to it! * Pancit Sotanghon ($15) - Can't go wrong with pancit! * Turon ($12) - One of my friends said this was their favorite dessert and I can see why.. so good!!! Slowly making my way through the SF Chronicle's Top 100. With daylight savings, I appreciated the extra hour and decided to get brunch for once! The interior is modern and cozy. We went during brunch, which had a fairly limited menu, but the server mentioned that the dinner menu offered more à la carte options. Regardless, the food was delicious! I don't get Filipino food often, so this was a nice treat. Looking forward to coming back for dinner in the future. read more

1. Location/Parking - Plenty of parking available outside, especially since it's surrounded by other business areas. 2. Operating Hours/Customer Service - The wait time was very reasonable for a weekend, and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. 3. Interior - 5/5 The space is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. 4. Price - Prices are fair and reasonable for the quality you get. 5. Food Taste/Quality - Everything tasted great. The adobo fried rice really stood out for me since it really did taste like it. Definitely a must-try brunch spot! Note: The menu isn't very large, but that wasn't an issue at all.

We came here for brunch on my brother's birthday. There was no wait, we were seated right away. We didn't have any issues finding parking either. It's nicely decorated inside, great brunch spot. We decided to eat family style. We got the lumpia shanghai as an appetizer, very good. You can never go wrong with lumpia. My dad opted for the fried chicken because he is a bit adverse to trying new cuisines. It was okay, a little dry. But the crunch and the sauce were excellent. The sisig was delicious as well as the longanisa hash. They also brought out two bowls of rice to accompany the sisig and longanisa hash. We ended off the meal with halo-halo. It was my mom's first time trying it and she said it reminded her of Vietnamese che. All the elements complemented one another. Everything we ordered was very cohesive and made for a memorable and delicious meal. Looking forward to future visits! read more

We stopped by on a Friday night and the staff were able to spot a seat for us right away in the busy restaurant. They had so many fun groups in the restaurant from a large party celebrating to a silent book club and more. The crew here really or together a fantastic atmosphere. The menu offered some really unique cocktails and both of the ones I tried were incredible. My recommendation is the Golden State of Mind. They also had some great specials. We got the Jollibee special and I could eat that any time, any day it was so good! What really stole the show for us we the Kamote potatos. I'vw never had such an excellent spud, and I'm generally not a fan of potatos, and I will definitely be ordering them again. read more

Lechon Kawali -- crispy pork paired with picked veggies and a dipping sauce. Was chopped in bite sized pieces. Bistek -- cooked sliced steak with a gravy like sauce and sauteed onions on the side. Sinigang Baboy -- sweet and sour red soup paired with tender pork and veggies. No eggplant in this dish, mostly bok choy and green beans. There wasn't a lot of pork pieces, but it was super tender and delicious to eat. Garlic Rice -- nice and oily, and garlicky. It was flavorful and went well with the entrees. Mango Iced Tea -- it was a bit watery. Tasted like a standard mango juice. Pandan Iced Coffee -- Couldn't taste the pandan as much but the coffee was good. Overall the portions were a little bit too small for me, and the food was a more modern approach to filipino cuisine. It tasted good, but a little bit pricey. The restaurant has nice natural lighting and good vibes. The servers were kind and attentive. read more

Eggplant Salad - A refreshing take on ensaladang talong. The acidity from the vinegar and the brightness of fresh tomatoes and onions pairs well with the eggplant. The texture was soft but not mushy, making it a great appetizer. Lumpia - Crispy, golden perfection. The wrapper was light and crunchy, encasing a well-seasoned filling that was juicy and flavorful. Served with a sweet and tangy dipping sauce, it was the perfect balance of crunch and savoriness. Pork Adobo - A rich and deeply comforting dish. The pork was tender, braised to perfection in a garlicky, vinegary, and slightly sweet sauce. Pairs perfectly with garlic rice. Halo-Halo - A fun dessert with a variety of textures and flavors. The crushed ice was finely shaved, blending well with the sweetened beans, jellies, and fruits. The ube ice cream added a rich, nutty sweetness that tied everything together beautifully. The ambiance at FOB Kitchen is warm and inviting, featuring whimsical decor that complements the island-inspired cuisine. The staff is very friendly, and we felt well taken care of. The restaurant has garnered acclaim, earning a Bib Gourmand designation in the 2024 MICHELIN Guide for its quality food at moderate prices. read more

I've known about this place for a while as they've been featured on social media, newsprints, articles, word-of-mouth, TV shows, YouTube and etc... A few months ago (more like last summer), I took wifey here on a dinner date and didn't tell here where we were going. Funny thing was that as soon as I stepped inside, the bartender was already buttering me up...and it worked. So, I had to order some Red Horse (Philippine malt beer made by San Miguel) to get me started. The chef and owner, Janice Dulce, was busy working and greeting guests from behind and in front of the kitchen. The placed used to be a taqueria as she paid homage by keeping the original sign outside while adding her F.O.B. Kitchen logo. The exterior of the place is vibrant, full of colors and greeneries with vines crawling up the wall. The interior is warm, homey with touches of Philippine artwork. It feels comfortable, and the staff was surely very welcoming. We had the following: Starters/Pulutan - Sticky Wings ($15) coated with Patis (Fish Sauce) Caramel, pickles & cilantro. It was a delightful fried chicken that was well-balanced with tanginess and sweetness. The patis flavor wasn't too overpowering and pleasantly not too salty. It was crispy on the outside and tender inside. Lechon Kawali ($13) thriced cooked pork belly with pickled red onion, Thai chili, soy sauce & lemon. They were crispy but not greasy. The pickled red onion gave it a nice contrast, dipping it in the sauce gave it an umami punch. Of course, the Bartender reminded me to get the "Mang Tomas" sauce as it wouldn't be complete without it. Side Dish/Gulay- Tortang Talong ($13.00 - eggplant omelet, tomato, scallions, soy & banana ketchup dipping sauce (before the ban). Solid dish that was evenly coated with egg that provided a crispy exterior layer mixed with the soft eggplant to give it a nice contrast of texture and flavor. Entrees/Ulam - Sinigang Baboy ($25) tamarind & ginger soup, pork, daikon, bok choy, eggplant, green beans & Thai chili. If you like it sour, this was very sour....in a good way. The sourness comes the tamarind, which is very traditional and definitely did not come in a powder form. It was definitely a strong kick that would clear out your sinuses. The fresh veggies just sapped in all the flavors, and I couldn't stop eating them. Pork Adobo ($20) palm vinegar, soy, garlic, annatto, coconut milk & Thai chili. I have to give this a mix review since the pork was not consistent. There were parts that were dry and parts that were tender. However, their version of adobo was unique as I literally slurping the sauce. It was savory, but it also had sweet notes that reminded me of caramel. I just wished they made a Chicken Adobo version as well as chicken can be easily cooked evenly compared to pork. Dessert/Panghimagas - Turon with Ube Ice Cream (forgot the cost) a nice ending to the dish as the Turon was goldenly fried and the Ube was made with real Ube. It wasn't too sweet, and the ice cream had a great texture of real Ube mixed in. I don't know if they made it inhouse or from a vendor, but I appreciate a good and real Ube when I taste it. Not the fake, purple-colored desserts being appropriated by Trader Joe's. Cold Brew Pandan Coffee ($6). I know, it's not really a dessert, but this was addictively so good that I ordered another and another to go. Now, my only bone to pick with was the side of garlic rice that we ordered. The garlic was nice, but the rice was just way too clumpy. It could've been mixed together more evenly as opposed to getting clumps and chunks that it was almost a cop out. Just my opinion, but they could pay more attention on this one. Don't want to end on a negative note as we truly enjoyed our meal and time here. The service was friendly and professional, especially the Bartender. These were truly some of the best-tasting Filipino dishes we'd have to date, and I know there are other dishes that we wanted to try, but we only have two mouths. They also pay homage to its Oakland roots as evident from the names of the cocktails such as The Town, Blow the Whistle, Feelin' Myself, and Golden State of Mind. Oakland has been getting a bad rap, especially with what happened to their mayor, but it doesn't represent everything about The Town. It's very rich in the diversity in its people and culinary cuisines. There are good people here trying to make it better. Janice Dulce is one of those people. She's a proud Filipina American offering her culture and providing a safe space for people of color with different ethnicities, background and orientation. We must uphold them during these bleak times, and it is what America should be about. read more

Interior of the restaurant is well decorated but the food was ok. I had high expectations and I liked the food but nothing unique with the recipe and more of traditional Filipino food.

There is ample parking at the lot and parking around the restaurant. read more

The whole experience was outstanding! Went for lunch with a friend, and we got the pork adobo and the fried chicken silog. The pork adobo broth was very flavorful, and the meat was tender, lean, and generous in portion. I left very full and satisfied. I didn't taste my friend's chicken, but the house-made hot sauce that came with it was incredible, as were the pickled radish slices (takuan). The decor - relaxed and sunny, with lots of lush green plants - made me feel like I was visiting the Philippines again. The service was perfect - attentive without being excessive, and we were seated and served immediately. I will definitely go back to sample more of the menu. read more

Nestled in the heart of Oakland's Temescal district, FOB Kitchen is a gem that brings Filipino cuisine to life with a perfect blend of tradition and modern flair. Our recent visit was nothing short of a culinary adventure, and we left with our taste buds dancing in delight. We discovered FOB Kitchen while watching an episode of Cook's Country on YouTube, and as a family of 6, we drove all the way from the South Bay to explore their menu. and it was worth every mile. We started with the Pork Adobo paired with garlic fried rice, a classic dish that showcased tender pork simmered to perfection in a rich, tangy sauce. The garlic fried rice added a fragrant and savory touch, making it a comforting and satisfying combination. Next, we tried the Daing na Bangus, a beautifully marinated milkfish that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Its bold flavors were complemented by the freshness of the accompanying sides. The Fried Chicken was a delightful surprise--crispy, juicy, and seasoned impeccably. It was a testament to how even the simplest dishes can shine when executed with care. The Lechon Kawali, a thrice-cooked pork belly, was a showstopper. Its crispy skin and succulent meat were paired with a tangy dipping sauce that elevated the dish to new heights. For a vegetarian option, the Torta ng Talong stole the spotlight. This eggplant omelet was hearty, flavorful, and a wonderful addition to the meal. We couldn't resist indulging in not one, but two desserts. The Turon, with its caramelized banana and jackfruit wrapped in a crispy shell, was the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch. We also savored the Suman, a sticky rice delicacy topped with luscious slices of mango that added a refreshing and fruity twist--a true taste of tradition. Beyond the incredible food, FOB Kitchen offers a charming alfresco dining area. The quaint outdoor space adds to the restaurant's warm and inviting ambiance making it a great spot to enjoy a meal in the open air. The wait staff were friendly and attentive, adding a personal touch to our dining experience. Additionally , the restaurant has a small parking lot shared with other businesses, and street parking is available , making it relatively easy to visit. FOB Kitchen is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Whether you're a fan of Filipino cuisine or new to its flavors, FOB Kitchen is a must-visit destination that promises a memorable dining experience-especially if you're willing to make the trek for food that truly captivates the soul. read more

Oh my God, there is another fob!!! the fish is my favorite but everything I've tried thus far is fire.

Visited on a weekend during their brunch service. Service and ambiance were good, nothing bad to note there. Decor was very green and bright. Bummed the sinigang was not served during brunch. I would have ordered that for sure. I opted for the adobo fried rice, and in my opinion it was just okay. I thought it tasted overly vinegary. I kept drinking this matcha juice they have to balance out the flavors in my palate. Maybe I should have ordered something different but I would skip on the adobo fried rice if I come here again. read more

The lady and I hit this place up. I've never done Filipino cuisine before. I don't stray too much from cheeseburgers and nachos. But I's like "aiight". Plus, we saw it on "Bay Area Check Please" and had it as a place to check out. She had the pork adobo and plain rice. I tasted a chunk of pork with the gravy and rice. It was tasty. Nah'mean!?? For me, I got the fried chicken and a bowl of garlic rice. Chicken was crunchy. Juicy. Especially with the house made hot sauce. Of course was seasoned to a Filipino homies flavor palette. Not sure of the spices. But it was cool. I dug it. This was me expanding my food adventure. I give it a thumbs up. Also, I gotta add, the music was dope. Lotta Dilla, D'Angelo, Soulquarian vibe while we were there. If you know, you know. read more

FOB Kitchen: Filipino Comfort with a Side of Adventure Our weekend e-bike rides from Richmond Marina aren't just about the miles--they're about the meals. And FOB Kitchen on Telegraph Avenue in Oakland has earned a permanent spot on our route. My brother and I rode in once, loved it, and rode back again. That's how you know it's legit. FOB Kitchen serves up Filipino breakfast classics with soul. We dove into three silog staples: * Longanisa Silog - Sweet, garlicky sausage paired with garlic rice and a perfectly fried egg. A classic done right. * Lechón Kawali Silog - Crispy pork belly with that golden crunch, balanced by savory rice and egg. Rich, indulgent, and worth every bite. * Tortang Talong Silog - Smoky eggplant omelet that's both hearty and comforting. A vegetarian option that doesn't feel like a compromise. Each plate was well presented, savory, and satisfying. The eggs? Cooked to perfection--crispy edges, runny yolks, just the way we like them. But what really sets FOB Kitchen apart is the vibe. Service is fast, the staff are genuinely friendly, and they make you feel like family. We even snapped selfies with them--because when the food's great and the people are warm, you want to remember it. FOB Kitchen isn't just a stop--it's a destination. Filipino comfort food, plated with pride, served with heart. And yes, we'll be riding back again. read more

Great option for when you have a hankering for Filipino food. I've only been for lunch/brunch, so can only speak to that. Cocktails are fun, tocino is probably my favorite with a few splashes of the homemade hot sauce that has a little vinegary punch.

The first time we went here they had a special with fried chicken on this incredible red hot sauce. The chicken was juicy and tender and super crispy. We also got the lumpia. It was crispy and super tasty. We got the pancit and it was honestly the best pancit I've ever had. The texture, the flavor the freshness it was Chef 's kiss. The spaghetti was so good and not too sweet. It was nice to have pieces of hot dog to curb the sweetness. The fish was crispy and perfectly cooked. It was complimented with a vinegar sauce and the garlic rice which were both excellent. We have gone here 3 times now and look forward to continuing to frequent this restaurant. They also have great cocktails, mocktails and offer catering. read more

Ordered DoorDash from here after reading a review from MICHILIN GOURMAND. Not a bad place but has one HUGE con which might be important for most diners.... So pros first. I ordered arroz caldo, lumpia, Mercado, Sinigang, fried chicken plate. Arroz caldo was good and a great price. I ate it all. One thing I did add was a splash of soy sauce from my pantry to give it a lil extra salty kick. Lumpia was good and I like it was bigger than normal to give you more content inside. Can't really get this recipe wrong! Mercado was good too! Love the tomato flavor and the beef. HOWEVER, for $28 that is a tiny serving. That feeds one person. Look at the picture. Hmm... Fried chicken was good WITH THE SAUCE. Without it, the chicken tasted kind of normal? Like just whatever. Like without the sauce I think KFC chicken tastes better. It did have a good crunch though. Sinigang was good. Classic tangy flavor. However serving size was also small.... And barely any meat in the container. Like what are we doing here guys? So this brings me to the HUGE con. This place is more expensive and gives you less food than Tipunan. Like... WAY less food. I only have this place a go because of MICHILIN Gourmand. But the prices and the lesser amount of food makes it a no go for me. And I'm a traveling healthcare worker who gets a stipend for food for free. I order DoorDash almost every day from different Resteraunts. But I know that cost and content matter to the majority of people so that's my take on it. read more

Came here because I was craving some filipino food. Found this small restaurant. Parking lot was small and nearby street parking was pretty scarce. Once we got inside the staff was smiling and the decor was lively. There was music playing and overall a very quiant spot. We ordered a few appetizers and entrees. This was more of like filipino fusion. The wings tasted delicious. Crispy and with good flavor. The Lumpias were crunchy on the outside but I would have liked the near to be more cooked. Their bistek had the right flavor with the gravy. They used steak that was cut up medium rare. First time I had eaten it like this instead of thin slices of steak. Very delicious. The sinigan was pretty disappointing. It's always something I order and one of my favorite dishes around. Here it was prepared differently and it was one of our last favorite dishes. The mango lemonade was good, but their junior drink tasted weird. I wouldn't order that again. Overall staff was really nice and most of the food was good. read more

I made a reservation for my friend's birthday! We ordered a total of four dishes and three drinks. It did take a while for us to get our order taken, but it's okay because it was busy day. The day I went, unfortunately, didn't have any more mango lemonade to try. The environment was great overall! Now to the drinks, the pineapple drink was okay. It was not too bad. If you like champagne, this would be a great drink with you! The palowan sunrise was the best out of the three we got. I loved it, and was def on the sweeter side. Lastly, the Feelin' Myself. That was not for us. It tasted really strongly alcohol and there was not a good mix to it. To the food! The food was delicious! Our favorite was the Shanghai lumpia! Those were so yummy and crispy. The lechon kawali was also yummy! The sauce for it was limey. The pancit was excellent as well, very tasty! And lastly the pork adobo, it came with some garlic rice. Which was delicious. Overall, I thought the experience and food was great! We didn't look at the dessert menu, since we had plans for dessert afterwards. I would recommend this place! read more

A solid 4.5 star restaurant. It's been added to our rotation! We wandered in on a sleepy Wednesday at noon. It wasn't busy at all, and we were seated without a problem. Our hostess was friendly and made sure we knew what all our options were. As a Filipino-American, it can be a tricky business to critique Filipino restaurants. You want something familiar and comforting, but you can't be afraid to let the chefs try something new. FOB Kitchen deftly walks that line. "Silog" is a classic style of Filipino breakfast involving garlic rice, an egg, and one other protein. Having ordered the Tocino Silog breakfast, I was pleased to taste some familiar flavors, but Tocino isn't usually my protein of choice. It can be a bit heavy, and while the longganisa hash was wildly tempting (my husband ordered it), it just wasn't quite what I was looking for. The Adobo fried rice was also a great selection and offered some classic flavors. I'm just bummed that we were all too full to order dessert! Do not mistake me. This place is a fantastic representation of Filipino food and the modern take it can be. I'm just being a slight curmudgeon because I would have liked to see more items on their menu. But I'll also respect that they'll do the items they do offer on their menu very well. If you're unfamiliar with Filipino food, this place will not disappoint you. read more
