FOB Kitchen is one of our favorite restaurants in Oakland! We love their modern take on Filipino classics while still keeping the flavors that make the cuisine so comforting. Their version of Adobo was so good that it inspired us to start adding coconut milk to our own recipe at home and we've never looked back. The restaurant itself is warm and inviting, with beautiful plants throughout that give it such a cozy, homey feel. The staff has always been welcoming, making every visit enjoyable. My personal favorites are the Calamansi drinks and the Palabok, both are absolutely delicious. If you're looking for creative Filipino food that still honors its roots, FOB Kitchen is definitely worth checking out. read more

FOB Kitchen - Filipino Near Me - Oakland, California

Great Filipino fusion spot close to the Temescal in Oakland! Tip: try to make it before 3 PM so you can order off their brunch menu. They don't offer as many items for dinner. We ordered the Adobo Fried Rice and Lechon Kawali Silog. The fried rice was fantastic--it had a nice crispy rice texture that really made the dish. I also liked the silog which came with very crispy pork, super flavorful garlic rice, a refreshing salad, and a citrusy dipping sauce that gave it a unique twist. Whatever you order, make sure to add their hot sauce! It definitely elevated each dish! The ambiance of the place was kind of boho chic and it was relatively empty at around 12:30pm on a Thursday. Service was nice, our waitress was prompt and paid a good amount of attention to us. I feel like they are a bit understaffed though, but that might be due to business being slower than usual during the time we went. Overall, I would recommend this spot to people look for Filipino food with a twist in the area. Would love to come back myself to try their lumpia, sticky wings, or desserts! read more

FOB Kitchen - Lechon Kawali Silog and Adobo Fried Rice - Filipino Near Me - Oakland, California

Veggie Lumpia (7.5/10): Crispy, crunchy, and the vinegar sawsawan (dipping sauce) tasted like my own auntie made it. Lechon Kawali (8/10): This is the best lechon kawali I've ever had. Granted, I like when it's very crispy. I do wish the portions were a liiiil bit bigger. The soy sauce sawsawan for this was good too. Kabocha (6/10): The skin of the squash was so tough! I could not bite it. It was like a rock. But the coconut sauce was amazingly savory and rich. Unfortunately, the skin of the kabocha was just too tough to eat and the outer rind should have been removed. Bistek (9/10): The Picanha was a good choice. I enjoyed this contemporary take on bistek! It tasted like an elevated version of bistek, but still embraced tradition. I would definitely order this again! Mango Lemonade (7/10): Nothing too extraordinary, but it was refreshing and did the job. Palawan Sunrise (8/10): Refreshing and not overly sweet! We went around 6PM on a Sunday, and it was a small and relaxed space with beautiful Filipino inspired decor. Service was wonderful! Liliana checked on us frequently and made sure that our allergies were taken care of! Thanks, Liliana! read more

Parking is limited, but worth it for the food! It was a taste of home coming to this restaurant. The crispy pork belly appetizer was yummy, the eggplant giniling (chopped meat) was a great portion and I finished my place. Service was quick and friendly and they always checked on you. My water cup was always full and I appreciated it. The decor is very nostalgic and so much to see around the restaurant. read more

Such a good experience. Came for dinner and was able to park close and there is a parking lot right out front. The staff is great. We ordered two of The Town cocktails which were so good we had questions for the bartender, who came to the table and was super knowledgeable. We started with the Lumpia which was hot and crispy with a really nice sweet chili sauce. Also ordered the Tortang Talong which was good with the banana ketchup. The pork adobo was fantastic and hot sauce on the side went with everything. Now I am bummed that it took me so long to get here! read more

Ugh, love this spot. My partner's mom and grandma had never tried Filipino food before and I told them I knew just the spot. They were impressed. Everything here is delicious, and I haven't had a miss yet. From the lumpia to the kamote, pork adobo and halo halo...everything is delicious. The service is attentive and friendly, and our host took her time to explain all the different ingredients and flavors to our newbies. Her recommendations were on point. Grandma and Mom loved their first experience eating Filipino - grandma REALLY loved the desserts lol (check her out eyeballing that Halo Halo). Highly recommend and would absolutely come back again and again. Protip - that hot sauce is amazing on just about everything, but incredible on the Side Tortang Talong (eggplant omelette). I don't even like eggplant, but I devoured that thing. The inside of the restaurant is super cute as well - a perfect date night spot! read more

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

Both were good The service was attentive and ambiance super chill. Will definitely be coming back!

**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

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

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

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

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

We ordered delivery and spent about $130, but unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. The portion sizes were extremely small for the price. The bistek cost $35, came in a small container, and the meat was gummy and very tough to chew. The pancit was dry and lacked flavor. The pork chop portion was much smaller than expected, and the lumpia was so thin it was like eating a twig. For the amount we paid, we expected much better quality and more generous serving sizes. The food simply wasn't worth the price, and we left feeling disappointed. Unfortunately, we won't be ordering from here again. 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.

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

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
