OMG. This is definitely one of those hole-in-the-wall places that completely surprises you. We came here because our friend Warren recommended it, and now I understand why. It's tucked away in Oakland in a spot you might easily drive past without noticing. The setup is simple: order at the window, get a vibrating pager, then pick up your food when it's ready. They also have outdoor seating, which is perfect if you're bringing your dog along. They offer all kinds of silog meals, and honestly, before coming here, I thought all silog places were pretty much the same. While standing in line, I had no clue what to order. The special that day was the G Fire Short Ribs, and I kept going back and forth between trying something new or playing it safe. I ended up getting the pork tocino silog, and for the second dish, I almost ordered the spare short ribs. Thank God I got the G Fire Wings instead. OMG. OMG. OMG. These are hands down the BEST wings I've had in the Bay Area. The skin is crispy and crunchy, but the moment you bite in, the meat is unbelievably juicy. Seriously, when do you ever get wings that are actually juicy? Most wings are dry. Not these. The flavor, the sauce, the seasoning--everything is absolutely incredible. It's the kind of food that makes you lick every finger afterward. If it were socially acceptable to eat the bones too, I probably would have. And here's the funny thing: while I was in line, it seemed like everyone ordering was getting the G Fire Wings. Now I know why. If this place were closer to where I live, I'd be here all the time. I'm still thinking about those wings days later. The good news is we go to Oakland at least once a month for hiking and camping, and now Lucky Three Seven is officially part of the tradition. It'll either be our reward after finishing a hike or our stop before heading to camp. Thank you, Warren, for recommending this place. You absolutely nailed it. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5 (simple, casual, outdoor pet-friendly seating) Parking: Street parking; may take a little patience depending on the time of day. read more

Ambiance/vibes 5/5 (peak East Oakland colors and feels) Service 4/5 Food 4/5 - A great staple of East Oakland and Filipino/American culture. I love the welcoming feel and the vibrant ambiance along with some heart dishes with rotating specials and the right amount of savory, fatty and stomach filling goodness Having the mural of the founder at the front is always a reminder of the value this spot has in the community read more

Overall solid meal. Lumpia was the best thing I ate from this spot. G Fire wings were pretty good. Adobo didn't nail the balance for me. Pretty heavy with the vinegar. The Tosilog I wasn't a huge fan of texture or the flavor(light on flavor). My friend really liked it and thought it was the best outside of the lumpia. read more

Laughing at the other reviewer who said it's hella hood because it just seemed like an ordinary neighborhood with the take out spot being on a busy street. Anyway, I know why other cultures only have had lumpia when asked if they tried Filipino food lol that is mostly what this spot sells, and wings. They probably have a handful of actual Filipino dishes, but it's not a spot you'd go to if you have a true Filipino cuisine itch like for some dinuguan or kare kare. The cashier is not friendly, just a straight shooter. And you're yelling into a glass which makes it seem hood, but I didn't feel unsafe and I had my toddler with us. They charge per wing and extra for dipping sauces. It seems like they sell out quick too cause one customer left without any and it was only mid afternoon. We ordered the longsilog and coconut adobo. I will say that it was a lot of food for the price which always a bonus. The flavor was also fire! I love the mural of their beloved owner across the street, RIP. Definitely worth a try, but to those who only try lumpia and consider it Filipino food, please venture out and try one of their breakfast plates (silogs) and then try one of the other main dishes. You won't be disappointed! read more

I was so hungry I forgot to take pics! Got an opportunity to try this place out going to a concert at Oakland arena. I ordered the adobo, pork/chicken tocino and the g fire wings. They make the adobo how I make it, nice and tangy! The g fire wings were fire!! And my kid destroyed the tocino. I'll definitely be back to take more pics and get some lumpia with my meal! read more

In a nutshell; Good food, little to no parking, very ghetto. Went to try the sinigang wings but they didn't seem to be selling them anymore (at the time of this review) STILL the wings that they were selling really good. There's a bench or two or a few seats for outdoor dining but probably best to just grab your food and go. Managed to park by the neighborhood close by, though the area made me feel like my tires were going to get taken and what not. Still I gave this place 4 stars in hopes that maybe it boosts the store into branching out onto better spots or increase the overall area's value by supporting the local businesses around and in turn make the place be less ghetto. read more

Since moving to Oak, I've been wanting to try this spot because it's rare to find good Filipino food just readily available in the area. (Unfortunately I'm not Filipino so I don't get it home cooked either) I didn't realize that they'd sell out of so much, so I'm going to have to give this place another try earlier in the day. However, they did have the G Fire wings and lumpia left and those were delicious. Perfect crunch and flavor on that chicken, and they were decently sized wings. Will be coming back for more! read more

Lucky Three Seven - G Fire Wings - Filipino Near Me - Oakland, California

Street Filipino spot with a strong fry game. When you want wings, this is your spot. The menu is a little uneven overall. We ordered the chicken adobo plate, G-Fire wings, and pork lumpia. The wings were off the chart: hearty crunch on the outside and tender meat on the inside. The sauce tastes like honey and vinegar -- light and sweet and you come back for more. The pork in the lumpia was juicy -- maybe under-seasoned but the crispy wrapper made up for it. The steamed rice was slightly overdone in the way you don't mind when the entree is saucy. But the chicken adobo unfortunately had dried out in away that no sauce can save. Alas. When you need wings: get the rice plate and extra sauce. read more

This spot popped up on our inKind list, so we decided to stop by for a quick bite before heading to the city. Apparently they opened in 2013 and is one of the best wing spots. It's on Fruitvale Ave, which isn't in the best part of town, but I didn't feel unsafe while we were waiting for our food. It did take about 15 minutes before our order was ready even though it wasn't that busy on a Saturday at 1:30pm. We ordered an XL lumpia and thought it was just an average lumpia. It was a bit dry. The G Fire Wings were soo flavorful and didn't need the sauce that came with it. A little pricey given that it's $2.50 per wing. Definitely worth it with the inKind discount. Great spot to pick up some wings if you're going to a party! read more

I saw this place nearby and decided to stop and take a try their wings (which I heard were extremely good). I was a bit disappointed; the skin was slightly overcooked for me and I didn't feel like the sauce or seasoning was anything special. Each wing (though 2/3 pieces of mine were legs) was $2.50 which I guess is not too bad in terms of value. In conclusion, the wings were not bad but it wasn't anything special imo. The staff were friendly enough to offer a sample of the seafood delight which was ok. I think a big driving part of the lower review is that it is in quite a suspicious part of Oakland; I was not a fan of the overall ambience of the area. 3.4/5 read more

Finally got to try the g fire wings and they are hella good. A little heavy but still cooked well and the flavor was good. Food took a while to cook so I was waiting for a while. They were out of a lot of stuff so I wasn't able to try the garlic rice or lumpia. But I'll be back. read more

WHY WE WENT HERE: - dinner THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located on the corner of Fruitvale Ave and Brookdale Ave - street parking available - order from a window - partially enclosed seating area available THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - 2 out of 3 of us didn't realize this was a dine outside or take to go type of place until we got here THE MENU: - G fire wings - plates (adobo or silogs) - sides - drinks - today's specials WHAT WE ORDERED: - G fire wings with garlic fried rice - pork belly adobo special - oxtail estofado special - short ribs special THE TASTE: - everything tasted great; unfortunately the oxtail estofado was the least favorite as it was chewy and not tender; like it was boiled and the sauce was poured onto it vs the meat cooked in it CUSTOMER SERVICE: - warm and welcoming read more

I mainly come here for the g fire wings. Classic tasty soy garlic flavor chicken wings, add a side of rice or garlic rice too. The lumpia and chicken tosino are also good. I don't think you can go wrong with the menu. Vibes are always great here, street parking, some outdoor seating available. This is a great business to support. Fly decor and lots of character to say the least, give this place a visit when you're in oakland read more

I am hella mad that I didn't come here sooner. This place is the definition of smack/smacks/smackerino. I've been hella lagging on this place because it's out of the way for me. But I'm trippin. The parking situation is kinda rough, but if you look around you can find some. They have bench and table seating so it's easy to chill and wait. If it's raining it's going to be rough. THE G FIRE WINGS. That shxt is gas, hella good. And the wings are hella big. Like I said definition of smack. I wanted to keep eating it but it was hella hot (temperature). I also ordered the chicken tocino and that was good as hell also. It felt nostalgic, like ratatouille when the critic eats the meal. Everyone needs to get here now. read more

BOMB ASS HELL. THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO GO. Finally got to try this place and did not disappoint. Been told their G Fire wings were hella good and it ain't a lie. Ordered their G Fire Wings... I was speechless. Crispy with a soy sauce glaze. Idk what it is but these are the best wings I've ever had. Also got their Pork Longanisa with egg (had to ask for vinegar ofc!!!) Only had outdoor seating and street parking wasn't too bad. They do get a little busy, but worth the wait. I'm FOR SURE making my way back. read more

When I tell you these G-fire (Grandma's fire) wings are delicious, please hear me. The sauce cannot be replicated, the combo of savory, sweet, and umami is mouth watering. The sesame seeds and green onions on top are the perfect flavor razzle dazzle. (Extra sauces are available to buy). Side of rice usually hits with this, but it was a low carb day. Pro-tip: if you like extra crunchy wings, get them fried hard. The service is friendly, and what you'd expect wait-wise for chicken fried to order (15-25 mins depending on how busy). The spot definitely has Town and Filipino flare, dope murals, and outside seating (covered). Parking can be crazy, don't be surprised to see cars double-parked on Brookdale. read more

I think their food is sometimes hit or miss, and definitely was better pre COVID, but I love their wings and often will crave them. We always grab something to go when we're in the area and I'm thankful they accept more than just cash now!! Their lumpia is the biggest miss sometimes because it's not seasoned very well and sometimes overcooked. Costs have gone up pretty decently as well, but I understand since the cost of chicken wings have gone up in cost. There's only street parking and it's difficult to get a good spot sometimes. There are great tacos for sale down the street. read more

I've had the chance to try out Lucky Three Seven twice now, and both times I've really enjoyed their chicken wings. They're impressively crispy, even though they're generously coated in a soy sauce-based glaze that's lightly sweet and tangy. I'm not sure if they're meant to be spicy, but there's no heat at all. That said, flavor-wise, they're excellent. The meat itself is juicy and tender. Honestly, the only place I've had wings that are better -- by just a small margin, is Vons. Today was my first time trying their pork Adobo plate and unfortunately, it was a big miss for me. The pork was dreadfully dry. My friends really liked the sour vinegar flavor of the broth the meat was stewed in, but I just couldn't get past the dry texture of the meat. I'm willing to give the dish another shot on a future visit -- in case it was just an off day, but for now, the wings are still the clear standout and what I'd recommend if you're stopping by Lucky Three Seven. read more

G Fire Wings ¼ Pretty good ngl, I can see the hype. The soy sauce garlic glaze is really well executed, but personally just way too sweet for me. But main thing: Ain't no fire! Wasn't spicy at all, womp womp. Lumpia 1/2 Pretty disappointing. No flavor, & WA's burnt. Couldn't really tell the difference between chicken & pork. 1/2 for being long tho. Came later in the day on a weekend, so a lotta stuff was sold out. Wait wasn't too long & they give ya a beeper to track. Place was chill tho, good hiphop/r&b music & you could tell it was a local hot spot. read more

Placed a semi large lunch order for a group. No one answered the phone so I had to go there to order. It didn't take terribly long, but still a little inconvenient. One of my orders didn't have the garlic rice, Just had white rice. and I was missing all of the lumpia I ordered. Everything else I ordered was super delicious. Just a little disappointing on the missing items. I ended up going back because of the missing lumpia. The girl who took my order remembered and knew immediately why I had returned. She gave me a fresh order and included a couple extra pieces. Nice gesture. read more

Incredible food, great service, and a convenient location. I ordered the G Fire Wings and am hooked. Incredible flavor and literally a perfect texture. Not everyone can create that balance of a good crunch with juicy meat. I did get a couple of lumpia and they were okay. Great size. I'd make this a regular spot and cannot wait to order again. read more

The girl in the front was nice enough but I saw maybe 2 people leave while I was waiting for my food cause nobody was there to greet them or take their order. It took about 20 minutes to get my order of ribs with rice, 1 piece of chicken, and 1 piece longanisa. I loved the longanisa and the wing I had were great. I liked it! Really good! The ribs I don't know, they weren't tender and had an overwhelming taste of soy sauce. It was a generous amount for $22 but I just didn't like it. As the as the location, it's in Oakland and you may find street parking. The seating is only outside and my original plan was to go and sit but too many flies but that might not be something they can control as the place was clean within its area. I am gonna come back to try other specials but they didn't have the ones I wanted to try today. read more

G- Fire wings are insane. The sauce is hitting with flavor, sweet and savory and the chicken is fried to crispy perfection. Top 5 wings I've ever had honestly top 3. I'll be making the trip regularly for these. I also had the chicken adobo which was great. The adobo sauce was perfect not too much vinegar and they poured some of the adobo sauce over the rice. Great stuff here I'll be back to try a lot more. read more

Haven't had a dish here that missed. I've come a few times now and everything I've had has been on point. Service is friendly and quick. The food comes out fast and hot. Breakdown of all the food I've tried.. Pork Lumpia: Was weary of price until I saw that the pieces were long and with a perfect amount of filling. Definitely worth grabbing a couple. Longsilog: The garlic fried rice is perfect, not hella salty like a lot of places end up doing. Good amount of food but only comes with one egg. Longanisa is tasty and cooked perfectly each time. Oxtail Cream of Mushroom: Falls off the bone, portions are huge. Super flavorful. A must each time we go if they have it. G Fire Wings: Star of the show. Sticky, crispy, tangy, juicy, and addicting as hell. Doesn't matter what or how much we order, we ALWAYS get at least a ten piece of wings added because we need them. 10/10 highly recommend. This place is a serious gem and staple to the neighborhood. Already wanting to go back writing this. read more

This definitely satisfied my craving! A great place to get some filipino food. Everything we had was seasoned well. They have a menu of food that they offer everyday but they're also always changing their specials. Our food came out fast. This place is located on a pretty busy street with no designated parking lot so you do have to get lucky and find some street parking. There is outdoor seating with heaters when it gets cold. Also, you can only pay through venmo or zelle. read more

POST-GAME AND PRE-GAME CAL FOOTBALL MEALS I'll admit the first time I heard about this place is what tragically happened to the owner. Due to that I wanted to come here to support Oakland businesses. Customers who ate here rave about the G Fire wings. The first time I came here was on a Sunday the day after Cal beat Auburn. Also that day was my birthday so I had two things to celebrate. I ordered the G Fire Wings along with two scoops of rice. I also ordered the XL lumpia as that is another item that customers rave. The G Fire Wings hype is real. They're worth ordering. These wings have a texture similar to the Korean chicken wings I ate at two Chinese restaurants in San Francisco. The XL lumpia is long and the pork filling is flavorful. After eating here I noticed the "Special of the Day" consisted of coconut chicken adobo with rice and G-Fire beef short ribs with rice. I knew I had to come back to Lucky Three Seven. The second time I came here was on Saturday October 5. Earlier that day I was at Berkeley (arrived around 3:50 AM) for ESPN College GameDay. I was hoping to order the coconut chicken adobo, but it wasn't available that day. I ordered one of the daily specials that day - pork belly adobo. I have a love-hate relationship with adobo as either it is a hit or miss with me at Filipino parties or restaurants. There are some reasons. I have had some adobos with the broth too soupy or oily. Other times the meat (pork or chicken) is dry and stringy. The adobo I ate at Lucky Three Seven was the pork belly adobo. The broth had that vinegar taste that associates with adobo. Also the broth wasn't too soupy. Most importantly the pork belly was moist. The fat was rendered well enough to eat. The pork belly adobo was one of the few times I've enjoyed eating adobo at a restaurant. The third time I came here was the following Saturday prior to the Cal-Pitt game. I was elated to see that the chicken coconut adobo was one of the specials of the day. The parts for the chicken adobo I had were the chicken wings. Regarding the broth the coconut milk cuts the sharpness of the vinegar. Yet there is still that adobo flavor from that dish. The use of the chicken wings results in a moist meat for this adobo dish. The chicken coconut adobo is the most unique adobo dish I've ever ate. The fourth time I came here was Saturday after the North Carolina State-Cal game. I came here close to 6:00 PM. One of the "Specials of the Day" was the G Fire short ribs with rice. The G Fire short ribs had a different flavor than the G Fire wings - the flavor similar to the short ribs on a Hawaiian lunch plate. The short ribs at Lucky Three Seven are meatier than most of the beef short ribs I've ate from other Hawaiian eateries. Whether before or after Cal sporting events if I am hungry I'll go to Lucky Three Seven. read more

Great food. The chicken adobo, xl lumpia and fried g wings are fire. Would enjoy them any night of the week.

I stopped at this place after wanting to swing by for a long time. I just got the chicken lumpia's. Fresh out the fryer, nice and crispy, and good quality chicken. However, there's something missing... They don't really taste like lumpia. I'm not sure but something was definitely left out. They don't have that normal taste. read more

Soooo good! Super cute space and vibes. The chicken wings were cooked so perfect and crispy, and the fried rice was also delicious.

Lucky Three Seven - G Fire Wings - Filipino Near Me - Oakland, California

Starting off with what I did like: their lumpia! The lumpia is served hot and crispy and it's xxl size so it's extra long and fun to munch on. We ordered the pork lumpia and I'd definitely come back for these! Other items we ordered that I feel missed the mark for me: Everyone raving about the wings- I thought they were just ok. Lightly sweet and tangy not really spicy. Maybe it's appealing for most, but idk it didn't really hit the spot for me. Ymmv. Ordered the pork adobo plate and oxtails with gravy: -pork adobo plate was hefty with meat! Basically a large portion of pork and rice- the pork was well seasoned, vinegary, but I personally needed something else to balance out the plate that isn't all just meat! - oxtails with gravy - the oxtails were good, and a nice portion. But ooof I found a hair in my rice and that completely ruined it for me. read more

Now here's an example of a place I would've never patronized had I not seen the YouTube videos of two separate local food vloggers, both of whom praised this spot to the skies. Granted I'm not a thirtysomething slacker that uses the word "hella" like five times in the same sentence, but I can appreciate a family-run business focused on the food of their heritage, in this case, Filipino, so I girded my loins. It's on Fruitvale close to 580 and definitely not the most parking-friendly area of Oakland. I found out later that the owner was tragically killed a couple of years ago, but the family has trudged on as it was attracting a lot of regulars when I visited in the middle of the day. There were over twenty choices on their menu, all of them served over rice. You order through a barricaded window much like a bank drive-thru window. Being that this was my first visit, I went with one of their basic plates, the $15 Pork Adobo over Rice. There was a huge pile of marinated pork belly in my carton and also two scoops of white rice (photo: https://yelp.to/YPo79dHXtv). In hindsight, I probably should've gone for something with veggies to provide textural contrast. I also wasn't expecting the adobo to be so sour. You can probably tell I'm not a regular Filipino foodie. No Diet Coke to wash it down either. FOOD - 3 stars...not my favorite pork dish but certainly plentiful AMBIANCE - 3 stars...it's more a takeout spot with some patio seating, no view of the kitchen SERVICE - 3 stars...little interaction and muffled by the window barrier TOTAL - 3 stars...I'd come back for other plates...in the daytime RELATED - Exploring Oakland?

You know the spot is good when you see people waiting outside before it opens up. Lucky Three Seven has been on the list for me to go to, and I finally made it out. G Fire Wings has been seen everywhere on social media, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The wings are massive. The taste is incredible. It is a soy sauce base with sesame and a few over spices that I can't pinpoint. It is unique and a one of a kind taste. I will definitely come back to just get the wings. Just a heads up that this is cash only but they also accept zelle and venmo. read more
