LOVED this, will order this every single time. Relatively more unique offering * Omakase Nigiri (4.5/5) - delicious and fresh. Would recommend for a first time order. Sadly you cannot order most of the items à la carte on doordash * Snow crab California roll (4.5/5) - fresh, decently portioned, and they use real snow crab! A solid, delicious, and relatively unique offering == Solid - Would order again == * Wakame (4/5) - standard run of the mill wakame - good and hits the spot == Okay - would personally pass == * Unagi roll (3/5) - unagi portion wise is very slim. I do appreciate that there is very little sauce (unlike many establishments that drench their unagi in sauce), but the unagi was slightly fishier than expected. There were some bones (as expected for unagi) but they were soft and did not cause problems. Quality of the avocado and rice were good. Portions were reasonable * Unagi nigiri (2.75/5) - from what I recall the unagi pieces were more slender than expected and was disappointing compared to their other offerings. Still appreciated that it was more "naked" and not drenched in sauce Delivery notes - provided ginger and wasabi packages separately - nice touch for those of us who don't appreciate surprise wasabi smudged onto our sushi - also provided plenty of soy sauce and chopsticks

I ordered Sichuan Hot Chicken, Sisig Bolillo, and Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap…read more This is easily probably one of oakland's best sandwich spot! Everyone has their favorite and I have mines. I had to come here twice back to back on different days to try another option on the menu. What I loved about it is the portions are huge and you could definitely feed 2 people, although prices are quite steep for the sandwiches. Sichuan Hot Chicken 5/5 This is as equally as good with Hot Boyz. So flavorful, nicely seasoned, juicy, crispy and tender. The sesame bun is an awesome take and elevated the hot chicken sandwich even more. It's not as heavily spiced as hot boyz so my stomach acid wasn't acting up right after which is a big plus. It's very well balanced. I would say maybe a touch more on sauce but other than that I loved it. Sisig Bolillo 5/5 Wow another great option! This was so good. Literally a filipino breakfast in one bite. Very flavorful, well seasoned, tender, rich, and with a touch of lime it helped cut through the fat and heaviness. I would've wished for more lime since 1 tiny slice wasn't enough or vinegar like sauce on the side. But i thoroughly enjoyed this sandwich. Bread was warm and crunchy but super soft and fluffy on the inside. Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap 2.5/5 My least favorite and I think they took it off the menu. What I didn't like about it was that the chicken wasn't seasoned enough or it lacked flavor. The dressing wasn't enough either because I didn't taste it at all. I did take a bite of this right away after a few bites of the chicken sandwich because I was worried about losing the texture of the croutons but it was already soft and mushy. Service & Ambience It's minimal. I ordered and waited for pick up. Staff is friendly. It's a sandwich shop so it's a to go spot with minimal dining spaces. Anyways I'm definitely coming back for one of the top two!

Visited Ok's Deli spontaneously while in the area and it was a pretty good experience. This deli is…read morequite popular and you'll likely have to wait to order. We stopped by on a Friday during lunch and had to wait in line and for our order. It may be helpful to order in advance to minimize your wait time. Service was friendly and efficient, despite how busy it was. I will say the prices are a bit steep, as most sandwiches are around $18-20 and the sides are around $7-8+. However, the menu is quite varied with a good amount of classic sandwiches, signature items, and sides. We wanted to try the Sichuan Chicken bites, but they were sold out unfortunately. I ended up ordering the House Turkey Breast without red onions, and was impressed with the quality and flavor of the sandwich. I liked the inclusion of both the alfalfa and avocado. We also ordered a side of the house ramen spiced fries, which were tasty and crispy but didn't quite leave an impression. I'm curious to return and try other items including the house banh mi and konbini egg salad. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're nearby and in the mood for a delicious sandwich.

A highly underrated grocery store, Monte vista is small but has a surprisingly broad selection of…read moreproduce and ethnic/international foods. The place had a farmers market/Sprouts kind of feel and carried predominantly organic produce. They have almost every type of product but maybe only 1-2 brands for each. I liked that there were many plant-based options, from cream cheese to frozen meals or sweets, but I was disappointed that they specifically didn't have nondairy yogurt which is one of my go-to's for breakfast. Almost everything is organic, and the price reflects that; a regular 15oz can of tomato sauce was $4. Besides that, it seems like a safe and convenient place to shop with their wide selections. The staff member helping at check-out was also very friendly.

Fortunately, Monte Vista is a nice, local produce market that does! In addition to Thai basil, they also provide ingredients like Thai chili peppers and even Makrut lime leaves.

Overall, it's a nice, neighborhood produce market that offers Asian ingredients and has a friendly staff. Happy to support it, while it supports my curries and sweet-and-spicy stir-fry dishes.

Produce is also excellent with organic and non-organic on virtually every item. Cheese corner is really good with dozens of varieties and sizes. I like their liquor and wine section, and can't imagine very many situations where they couldn't cover my needs. The prepared food is not worth the trip for that alone, and is really pretty uninspiring. They stock everything I need. They have great, consistent people working check out. Prices are higher than Safeway. Specialty stuff is not as strong as Diablo Foods in Lafayette.

Some carts offer steamed corn on a stick, although I'm not used to the way they prepare it. They roll the corn in mayo and sprinkle it with chili powder and something kinda like parmesean cheese. It's OK but I usually stick with the fruits. Or get a bag of homemade extra crunchy potato chips. Those are excellent too.
