Finally dropped in to Prescott Market in West Oakland to check out FOB West. Have been curious to try their chicken kelaguen: a dish from the Pacific US Territories that's chicken pieces marinated in spices and "cooked" like ceviche in lime juice and other citrus--though FOB kitchen cooks their chicken thoroughly first. It was one of my fave dishes from my time spent in the CNMI and Guam, and it always had local spicy "boonie peppers" to amp up the flavor and heat. Prescott Market has a slew of foodie options from pizza to coffee to burgers to fried rice. There's even an Almanac Brewing outpost tucked into the mix. We came for lunch so made a beeline to FOB West to get some Filipino/Chamorro fusion. The setup at FOB West is clean and efficient. You order at the counter or scan a QR code at the tables and they let you know when your meal is ready. The only option for the chicken kelaguen was in a taco. You can buy single tacos or 3 for $13. I chose the 3 taco option and got the chicken kelaguen, jackfruit, and beef adobo as my filling options. After a short wait, my meal was ready. Service wasn't rude, but not a lot of smiles or pleasantries. But maybe the front of house was having a bad day. I took my meal outside to eat on the patio. Tacos were well prepared and not sloppy, making them easy to grab and eat. Flavors were on point and distinct from filling to filling. The jackfruit was my fave... cooked in a coconut milk and almost curry-like spices. You would think the jackfruit was meat, it was so savory and satisfying. The beef adobo had deep flavor and was rich and filling. The chicken kelaguen, for me, was a little disappointing. The flavor felt kind of muted, and the chili bite/heat was missing. I didn't detect much (or any) finadine (Chamorro pepper sauce) on the taco, but perhaps that's something I forgot to ask for? Regardless, as a whole the tacos were delicious. Will definitely be back to FOB West, next time when Almanac be is open so I can pair the Filipino/Chamorro eats with some local suds read more

Came here Thursday evening for dinner and got the Yuba Sticks dinner with potato salad and a mango slushie. YUM YUM YUMMY!!! The entire place was so delicious. I am not a huge tofu fan despite being vegetarian but they did this plate right. It doesn't have any of the usual texture and I had to remember it was tofu and not chicken. The rice was complimenting, salad was good and potato salad wasn't horrible (I'm picky about potato salad). And the mango slushie is also really delicious and refreshing! Service was friendly and the food came out fast. I will certainly be back... as a regular lol. read more

My second time ordering for FOB whilst hanging at Prescott Market on a lovely day, and they continue to deliver on flavor and quality. It's really nice to see such rich representation of Filipino cuisine in the Bay Area, and FOB is a sure fire contributor to its rise in popularity. Lumpia and Pancit are both stable Filipino dishes, and FOB nailed both of these. Excellent flavor, healthy portions, and friendly vibes all around from the staff. May just be the beginning of becoming a regular, for me! read more

Street version of FOB kitchen. When you need a taco that drips with adobo, this is the place. This location for FOB has a dual identity -- it has both the elevated fare of the Kitchen but it is streamlined (back) down as street food. We ordered the arroz caldo, chopped salad, jackfruit taco, lumpia, and a slushee. The arroz soup had surprisingly complex flavors, with ginger at the front and rounded out by the aromatics added to the bowl. The porridge was thin but it kept the dish from getting too heavy and let the tender chicken shine through. The jackfruit taco was equally impressive. The adobo and vinegar brought smoke and sourness while the coconut milk made the fruit feel rich as you ate it. The chopped salad and lumpia were middle of the road -- if you particularly enjoy those things then go ahead, but they don't differentiate themselves much. Perhaps the sauce with the lumpia is a bit too sweet (as was the mango-lemonade slushee). I want to give the food 3.5 stars. It is all very well executed and a few dishes are well constructed. But it is caught between two worlds: will it be elevated or the usual? The storefront hasn't quite decided and it holds some of the dishes back. read more

FOB West recently opened in Prescott Market. Judging by the lines and the pans of dirty dishes, this is the most popular vendor at lunch. Indoor and outdoor seating. Parking spaces painted too narrowly. It's possible to park yet not possible to exit one's car. Plenty of murals inside & outside by Oakland's muralists. Offerings (Filipino): breakfast, tacos, fiesta plates, beverages, chopped salads, the classics. Short line at order counter. Acknowledged. Order Promptly taken when she was free. Paid. Food brought to table in 17ish minutes. Bites: 3 tacos for $13. Chicken kelaguen out. Ordered 2 beef adobo & and 1 jackfruit vegan. Both had 2 grilled street size corn tortillas. Both were messy to eat. (Lots of sauce/juice) Jackfruit vegan had jackfruit, onions, garlic, soy, coconut milk, tomatillo salsa, cilantro. Had a spicy kick, jackfruit taste overwhelmed by salsa. Beef adobo was amazing with the adobo consumme, slow braised 5 hour adobo beef cheek, cilantro, queso Oaxaca, onion & orange salsa. 5 stars Worthy. My tummy was satisfied. Service: great. quantity: adequate. Quality: artisan ingredients. Food made to order. Definite repeat! Whoops! Forgot to take pic of tacos. My bad. read more

A new spot since we last made it out to Prescott Market. I forgot the name of the dish in my picture, but this is BOMB! The sausage very flavorful and delicious! Rice with the egg on top was a great touch with the sliced mango. This is a highly recommended dish when in Prescott and want a dish that is a little different. Service was fast and very friendly. The vibe is always a crowd on the go. read more

I tried this spot during a trivia night and was so impressed. I had the original location, but I really appreciate the more casual style of this one. You can order from your table and pickup when it is ready, which I felt was really convenient. The beef adobo tacos were so yummy! The beef cheek was tender and the consommé on the side made it even more delicious. These are most similar to birria tacos with a Filipino twist. I'd definitely come back and try other items on their menu. read more

FOB West, FOB Kitchen's W$O location, is now open in Prescott Market! I'm excited to see another local business open up in the market and...it's Filipino food--so much love, so much delicious food. Currently, they're doing a soft opening for lunch: 10AM-3PM. We stopped by around 1PM and the market was busy and the line was not long at all. Let's get down to business: - Veggie lumpia (6 pieces)--Freshly fried and the ideal way for me to eat vegetables. The garlic vinegar should douse every bite! - Pancit Sotanghon--bihon clear rice noodles, no meat. The veggies are neatly cut and cooked just right. Your Tita would be proud! - Special: Longanisa Silog--throw an egg on anythang! The longanisa was perfection--not too sweet nor spicy. The side salad was a good balance for the longanisa. Oh yeah and the house hot sauce on everything! If this is how they're showing out for their soft opening then I can't wait to come back again and again and I hope you do too! read more

My daughter took me to the Oakland Farmers Market and had lunch at the Prescott Market where we had Filipino food at FOB West. I ordered the Daing na Bangus which is a marinaded fried milk fish. They added tomatoes, cilantro, onions, etc. inside the fish, accompanied with salad, yellow rice and potato salad. There was a vinegar dressing mixture for the fish to add more flavor. Garlic fried rice would have been much perfect. Great day to eat outdoors. read more

Came to the Bay to Celebrate my cousin's 1 year anniversary in heaven. Did a search of restaurants from Yelp and this place popped up. I knew I had to try this place cause I recognized the Red Rice, food from my home town Guam and the Daing Bangus from my Filipino Heritage. My husband ordered the chicken kelaguen tacos and I ordered the chicken inasal and you can't forget the pancit. The food was not only delicious, but comforting. My cousin was a foodie and I feel that this was a sign from her to try this place. I only wish success for this business in hopes that Chamorro Food and Filipino food are enjoyed by all. Si Yu'os Ma'åse and Maraming Salamat Po for a great experience! read more

I've had the pancit from FOB more times than I can count--it literally kept me alive at a festival, and somehow I'm still not over it. Every time I eat it, I'm like, wait--why is this SO good? Garlicky, packed with umami, mouthwateringly addictive. FOB's vibes are impeccable: welcoming, intimate, and authentic--like you've stumbled onto something special not everyone knows about. Like you almost want to gatekeep (but won't, because everyone deserves this) The energy FOB West brings to Prescott Market is this and more!!

FOB Kitchen West in Prescott Market serves Filipino and Guamanian Chamorro food, and the flavors/presentation of the dishes were executed perfectly. We started with a simple Asian-inspired Chop Salad made of shredded romaine/iceberg lettuce, carrots, red cabbage, scallion, cilantro, sesame seeds, and almonds, tossed with a soy sesame vinaigrette and topped with crispy rice noodles for an extra crunch. A far more interesting item to try was the Kelaguen taco, which featured kelaguen, a Guamanian dish made of chopped grilled chicken in a creamy dressing made with grated coconut, green onions, lemon, and Thai chilies. This ceviche-like mixture was served in two toasted corn tortillas and finished with crispy bits of chicken on top--the kelaguen had a nice tropical/coconut flavor and creamy texture, making for a delicious taco filling. But my favorite dish of all was the Daing Na Bangus Fiesta Plate, which featured a whole butterflied boneless milkfish, marinated in vinegar/garlic/spices and deep-fried to crispy perfection. The gorgeously plated milkfish was served with sides of red rice, mac salad, and green salad, along with vinegar and hot sauce as condiments. All the components came together in a colorful, balanced, and flavorful platter, making for a highlight dish! read more

this place was SO. GOOD. I had the jackfruit tacos (vegan) at the recommendation of the cashier and I LOVED them. They definitely had some spice, so if you aren't big on spicy things, beware!! We also tried the pancit (glass noodles) and those were delicious. My roomie got the Longanisa Silog (sausage and rice bowl) and loved it. I would absolutely go back. This inspired me to go to their actual restaurant in Oakland on Telegraph. read more

This is my new favorite go-to spot. I especially enjoy taking friends who are visiting from out of town and looking for something they wouldn't be able to get other places. Their combination of Filipino and Chamorro flavors make it a comfort food staple. The chicken kelaguen tacos are my favorite, and the slushies make it a go to for the ideal summer meal. When it's cold, I like to opt for the arroz caldo. The pandan cold brew has gotten me through some of the most exhausting days. read more

I've been going here for years and never walked away not blown away by the flavors I just experienced.

Excellent spot with unique, delicious food and great service read more

This place is the bomb! I've been twice now and both times I've had the beef adobo tacos, hella good! I also had the mango and lemonade slushee both times. The second time, I asked them to add tequila, which made it even more tasty. Great service, excellent food, I will be back. And eventually I'll try something else on the menu, but the tacos currently have me in a chokehold lol. read more

I had the Daing Na Bangus. The dish set me back $25 - a high price for the amount of food you get. I feel as though there was a problem with the way it was advertised. I wish they would have been more descriptive so I would know what to expect. The vinaigrette was WAY too spicy, I couldn't even eat my salad. I usually have a high spice tolerance but this was beyond that. The potato salad was just ok - bland and nothing special. The rice was pretty good but unfortunate that it was under the fish. The fish was actually foul. It was advertised as boneless. No. Every single bite has small sharp bones. I felt so bad wasting so much fish but it's inedible. I wish they could have prepared it more. I would have liked if they could remove the head, tail, fins, bones and organs. Maybe just provide us a fillet? I could not see from the small photo on the website but you get the whole fish - nothing done to it. I wish I could have loved this place. There are so many good reviews but I just could not take more than a few bites. read more
