As of today 12/26/25, do they continue to offer weekend buffets? I don’t see the info on the website.

Yes only on Sundays, 11am-3pm. Reservations are only from 11am-1130am then walk-ins only thereafter.

Hi there, how do we make Reservations on line?

Hi, I think you can just call them to make a reservation. I do not think they have a system set up for online reservations. I hope this helps.

Is there buffet on weekdays? If so, how much?

Buffet brunch is only on weekends, 11am - 3pm.

They almost never answer the phone so it's best to just go in person and order for pick up. Just expect to wait a bit if you're going during the busier times of the days that they're open. It had been about a year since I last visited, and I was glad to see that prices hadn't changed at all. The highlight here for me has always been their lumpia--or at least, it used to be. It was once fried to golden perfection, with just the right amount of loose wrapper that gave extra-crispy edges (if you know, you know). Looking back at older photos, the lumpia had a noticeably deeper golden-brown hue compared to the lighter version I received this time, as well as seemed a bit longer in size. This made me sad; but it was still good, just no longer exceptional. In addition, the broasted chicken has always been just decent; the skin is great but the meat on the inside is always a bit dry and definitely requires some gravy or sauce to dip it in. Despite the lumpia switch-up, prices are still unbeatable for the bay, so I'd come back. I did notice that they seemed to have a new cook in the back, so here's to hoping that next time, the lumpia reverts back to the way it was!

It is such a blessing to have it close by. I can pop in anytime a craving hits for their pork menudo, sizzling sisig, or pansit palabok. Must-try staples include Chicken or Pork Adobo (a rich savory stew), Lumpiang Shanghai (crispy spring rolls), and Pancit Bihon (classic Filipino noodles). Be sure to finish with halo-halo, a popular shaved ice dessert. My family literally drives up from SoCal just to eat here. It is THAT good.

After some filtering and choosing, we decided on Korean food. Truly always my go-to choice. The food here really did not disappoint and hit the spot after a long day. Overall, will be a 5 star from me. Food: Spicy Braised Beef Short Rib + Cheese and Rice Cakes: 4.5/5 This was their beef short rib with onion and potato. We always get it with the rice cake and cheese on top because those are truly a must for this dish. The braised beef short ribs are super tender and you could cut though it with a spoon. Their meats are nicely marinated into the sauce and super tender. The sauce is really the star of this dish and they seasoned it really well. There's some kick to it, sweet, salty, and umami. I would eat this sauce alone with rice or noodles if I had the choice. The rice cakes are a little too soft for me and I would have preferred for it to have more of a bite. Again, not really complaining because the sauce made up for it. For the cheese, it's mostly just piled on top of the dish. They're not like other places where they torch the cheese to melt it for us. We just mixed it into the sauce and it melted all the way through for that cheese pull. There's no smokiness, but not a big concern for me. It melted well into the sauce and made it taste amazing though. Fried Chicken (8 Pieces) - Soy Garlic + Hot and Sweet Sauce: 4.3/5 This was more of our side dish/appetizer dish. The sauce is a little too salty for my taste, but honestly, I wasn't really complaining. Something I do like is the consistency of it. It's like this sticky sauce that coats the crispy coating of the chicken well. This dipped into the spicy braised short rib sauce was such an amazing combination too. My preference was the soy garlic. The flavor is just so classic. Hot and sweet is good too. There is a good kick to it and a nice balance of flavors overall. When the chicken came out, it was piping hot. Very juicy and I could feel that when I tried to take a bite out of it. Crispy on the outside and nicely cooked all the way through. Banchan: Good variety They provide kelp noodle salad, kimchi, edamame, mashed tofu, Korean yellow pickled radish, and fish cakes. I actually liked all of these expect for the kimchi. I have a specific preference for kimchi, so definitely just a preference in taste kind of a thing. Lovely textures for all of them. The tofu confused us initially, but it's very good protein for me and I'm not complaining about my foods being mechanically altered. --------- Quality: Made to order Their meats seem to be of optimal quality. That or the cut is just really good and they've been braising it for hours now. Super tender and will just come off the bones. The meats are cut into pretty large pieces, so I would cut it into about four pieces. This was doable with a spoon, which says a lot. Of note, we could hear the fryer sound in the back. Crossing fingers that was to freshy fry our chicken. Items also came out piping hot, which is just how I like it. The short ribs was inside of a stone pot and it was just boiling and bubbling away. Always a plus to see. Price: Typical Bay Area Prices The price ranges will depend on what you get. For the two items that we got today, it was around $60. Seems fair for the portion sizes provided. We also had leftovers to bring home. Again, the prices will range from about $15 to $25. Typical Bay Area prices. Service: Fairly Fast My friend and I were actually the only two people there. Honestly, I'm not complaining for us. I'm actually not sure why they're not more popular because their food was made really well for us. Side note, but if I had it my way, I would probably inhale the remainder that we took home with us. Their food was made to order because we did hear the food being cooked. They did come out with the food fairly quickly. Service was alright and they were quite nice about everything. Ambiance: Late Night Eats Vibes This place really gives me the late night eat vibes. They do sell the items that I see in the Korean dramas where they would go out for a drink and some food. They do have nice options for dinner though. Of note, they do stay open quite late, which I am totally here for. Interior is spacious and their music choice is straight from my playlist, which I really like. Location/Parking: Long Plaza This place is a little farther for me, but I still like exploring around as some food places are worth driving a little farther for. This place is on Cedar Blvd and its quite a long plaza. There's like multiple connections in this plaza along with their entrances. They do have some other shops and restaurants here too. Parking didn't seem to be an issue for me at all. They seem to have enough spaces around for this scale of an area.

Most of the items were already sold out, and they were not planning to make more. I just wanted one order of bean curd, which is three pieces for $5.80.

I picked a stuffed green pepper, which normally costs $7.40 for three pieces. They then charged me $2.75 for that single piece, saying I didn't order a full order. They also charged me $4.50 for the two pieces of bean curd, again because it wasn't a full order. Why is it my fault that they ran out of items? $7.40 ÷ 3 = $2.47 (but they charged me $2.75) $5.80 ÷ 3 = $1.93 (but they charged me $4.50 for two pieces) This feels very dishonest.

LENT 2025: THIRD FRIDAY…read more The previous Friday I ate at a Filipino restaurant for lunch with mixed results. I ordered a crab fried rice, which didn't have crab at all. I was planning to go San Leandro for lunch this past Friday for bangsilog. When I was driving to San Leandro, Highway 880 was so busy due to traffic I decided to come to Adobolicious at the last minute. With the name of the restaurant you might not think this restaurant serves seafood or fish. I looked at photos and noticed seafood dishes like bangsilog. When I came Adobolicious at the last minute I wasn't setting great expectations. I was thinking about getting appetizers, but I decided just to order bangsilog. A deboned bangus in my opinion the only way to eat that fish because there are so many little bones that are inedible. However most of fried, deboned bangus I ate tend to be jerky. The fried bangus I ate at Adobolicious was better than I expected. The meat was moist. The reason was the bangus as stated on the menu is marinated. Even though the breading was light the breading was crispy. Most of all there wasn't a jerky texture from the bangus at Adobolicious as compared to other bangus I ate from other places. If I had to be nitpicky is there are scales on the bangus. I guess that is a traditional preference to make the skin crispy, but I believe the skin of the bangus could maintain its crispiness with the breading. One note about Adobolicious is credit card or debit card isn't accepted for payments. This restaurant accepts cash or Venmo. I know the bangus I ate at Adobolicious isn't the best I ever had however it is better than most bangus I ate at other restaurants.
