Hello Everyone, on 4/18/2026, my wife and I went to the Prescott Market and had a great experience. We ate food from FOB West and Woo Can Cook.I got the kimchi fried rice and a chocolate chip cookie from "Woo Can Cook."My wife got a non-alcoholic tai basil ginger mojito. The service was good and the food was great. The seating is excellent, with indoor and outdoor seating. The only complaint I had was the portion size of the rice. Other than that I would most definitely give them a try. All in all I gave Woo can Cook four stars read more

Woo Can Cook - Kimchi fried rice - Street Vendors Near Me - Oakland, California

Unfortunately I have to agree with most of the reviews here - the food and overall experience is not great. This restaurant is in the Prescott Market, along with a handful of other restaurants and coffee shops. You are able to order from a table QR code, from any of the restaurants. I went with some friends, and their food was ready about 15 minutes ahead of mine, which was really unfortunate. I ordered the Korean Gochujang fried chicken and rice. The first couple bites were pretty good, but I quickly realized that they added FAR too much sauce that completely overpowered the dish. I don't even want to think about the sodium content of this meal... I do think this place has potential, but the food could just be prepared quicker and better IMO. I will say prices are reasonable, and the staff were friendly. read more

First of all the staff is phenomenal and super friendly. Unfortunately, we came here to eat not to socialize. The ambiance at Prescott Market depends on the day and time you go. We came on a Monday afternoon around 2pm so it wasn't at all crowded and actually very quiet. Later in the week you can catch more people, longer lines and a more upbeat vibe. Especially during the lunch hour! I wanted to love this place, and I did love the honey sesame chicken and bok choy. The chicken was mostly chicken, not mostly breading like you'll find elsewhere. Sauce was delicious and not too sweet. I don't know what's up with the rice here but it tasted instant or like it came precooked out of a bag. It had a synthetic, plastic tase to it. Considering that it's a staple ingredient in most of their dishes, that is an EPIC FAIL on part of this establishment. The siu mai was nothing like what you'd find at a dim sum restaurant, and tasted more like what you'd find in a freezer section. The noodles are grossly overpriced to have no veggies or protein. The portion size however is fantastic. The flavor was great and the spice level was excellent (most places say spicy and I'm underwhelmed). If I ever return, I need to sample the rice before I order. There's no reason to not be using jasmine rice or something similar that is made on site. read more

A couple of things: 1) Very very long time wait time for food. -There were no visible customers in front of me at the time of order, however, I believe I waited more than 20 minutes for my food. They seemed to start cooking the food once I went up to ask why it was taking so long. 2) Bad customer service -Cashier was not friendly, was not helpful with any recommendations on the menu, was serving a bit of attitude. It can be understandable when the shop is backed up with a lot of orders, but there was no customer in front or behind me, so not sure what the issue was. 3) Food was not properly cooked -I ordered a regular rice bowl with chicken, you would expect that if I had to wait so long, it would be prepared properly. I think they reheat their rice, and the white rice I got with my food was not cooked all the way through. There were some portions of it that were cooked, but I would say 30-40% of the rice was not cooked all the way. Unfortunately, with the rice being this way, the whole dish just tasted meh for me. With all of that, unfortunately will have to rate this place for 2 stars. read more

This eatery is located inside the Prescott Market food hall, with a casual atmosphere and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It was easy to order for pickup online with a 15-minute wait for the food, but there was also no line to order when I arrived on a Sunday afternoon. Service was not exactly friendly, but it was sufficient. Got the crispy bacon fried rice bowl (child version with no spice). It was served hot, with a hefty portion size good for sharing. The ingredients (chicken, bacon, egg, peas, carrots) were cut very small, and the bacon isn't really "crispy", however the flavor of the dish was fine, and the rice was certainly filling. More protein would be nice, but it wasn't bad. read more

Prescott Market is impressive ~ I love how each vendor brings a little something different and innovative to the table like Woo Can Cook. My friend and I ordered the Thai Basil Chicken Fried Rice Bowl and it was super flavorful. With beautiful chunks of moist chicken, sweet corn, and definitely packing the heat with the Thai chiles..oooo wee my tastebuds were dancing! Other fun menu items include the Crispy Kimchi Bacon Fried Rice Bowl and don't forget to check the weekly specials. Essentially you can also turn any fried rice bowl into a burrito too which seems to be super popular (all items served in to-go packaging). They also have drinks (NA) to-go and a kiddo menu with rice that's only seasoned with soy sauce. Love that! We ordered from a QR code on our table, but walk-up service is open too. Staff is friendly and there are plenty of areas indoor/outdoor to enjoy your meal. There's also a parking lot (it gets busy as the day progresses, fyi!) and street parking available as well. Pricing is fair, would def try one of the wraps next time. read more

Stopping into Prescott Market during a separate YEE, the honey and I ended up ordering the bacon fried rice. Overall, I think we would have liked a smaller portion with just a touch less going on. It was delicious, but a bit on heavy side. Bacon rice is oily at heart, but adding a larger amount of egg and veggies likely would have helped. All in all, the service was friendly and we would order from them again. read more

Stopped in here for a quick look and decided on one of their Non-Alcoholic drinks: Thai Basil Ginger Mojito $8. It was a refreshing and aromatic drink with a creative take on mojito (no mint involved). I definitely liked the substitute of Thai Basil with the candied Ginger bite on the mixing stick. I'll definitely return on a weekday during happy hours to try their HH specials ($5 for beers, Mexican coca cola, seltzer water or grass jelly. $8 apppetizers) and one of their weekly special stir-fry entrees. Love that they have Mexican coca-cola here too. read more

I checked this place out the day before the grand opening of Prescott Market, which is basically a food court. How could I not try it out with such an adorable logo? I ordered the Crispy Bacon Bowl, thinking that it would taste most similar to a typical fried rice, which is not spicy. However, this dish was a little spicy, which was disappointing, but I muscled through (since I've started getting slightly better at handling spicy food). The temperature of the food stayed slightly too hot the whole time I was eating it. I had asked them to put it in my clean glass container (see Eco Notes below), so I wonder if it was the glass that kept it so hot. The meat was good, but the fried rice was a little oilier than I like. I thought the flavor was decent, but upon reflection, it was really carried by the bacon and the spice. Unfortunately, the next day, it didn't really taste good as leftovers. Overall, while I was happy they accepted my clean glass container, the experience of the fried rice was just okay. Hopefully, it will get better after Prescott Market's grand opening. ECO NOTES (Dine-In) Technically, they would've provided the food in single-use disposable containers even if I ate in the food court. Fortunately, after I asked, they put the food in my clean glass container, which means they accept Bring Your Own (BYO) containers. read more

Woo Can't Cook. Ordered the General Tso & Spicy kimchi noodles. The general Tso with "fried rice" was incredibly salty and greasy. The fried rice was just rice oil & a hint of egg (no vegetables or anything). The kimchi noodles were oil with a side of noodles. $40 bucks for garbage. Food was so bad I returned it after the first bite. Of course they denied to provide a refund. read more

*note, this rating is based on the food alone. I didn't have an issue with the service.. staff was friendly I trekked out to W Oak because I wanted support a Taiwan-inspired business. And, not that being Taiwanese American makes me the authority on Taiwanese food, but I've had my fair share of this cuisine in my life, and I can't in good conscience say that this was good Taiwanese food or even Taiwanese food at all. The good: cong yu bing/scallion pancake was decent. I'm not sure about the price, but it was well executed. I also didnt mind the fan tuan, but the donut was not crispy at all, so call it fusion or call it inauthentic..your pick. At least I enjoyed it enough to finish it. Not a fan: the popcorn chicken with general tso sauce was just really salty and I wasn't sure what kind of flavors it was going for. This is a Chinese American dish to begin with, but when I think of Taiwanese popcorn chicken, it is generally not slathered with sauce, I.e soggy instead of crispy. I don't even know what to say about the gua bao. The pork was extremely dry. I'm not saying you need to use fatty pork like the Taiwanese do, but this was DRY. And covered with some dark soy sauce (I couldn't make out any of the other flavors because it was just very salty). Honestly, I consider both of these dishes inedible. Hopefully I just caught them on a really bad day! read more

TLDR; The specials were excellent, but the daily fried rice disappointed. Rounding up from 3.5 since the specials were so good. Food (of 5) Mapo Tofu w/rice - 5 Bacon Fried Rice - 2 Jasmine Blueberry Peach Bellini Mocktail - 5 Service Fast and efficient, gives you buzzer so you can go sit outside while waiting. Ambiance Comfortable and casual food hall venue (Prescott Market) where whole family can choose from different vendors and sit in shared picnic area with various lawn games, picnic tables and umbrellas. Not sure how to feel about this place, I started with the Mapo Tofu which was a super interesting and deicious rice bowl interpretation of chinese classic with authentic szechuan numbing flavor. The mocktails was delicious. But the standby Bacon Fried Rice disappointed my entire family, my son called it "soggy". read more

Huge portions and bomb Asian food! Highly recommend trying something off the special menu as they've been so delicious each time. I wish they kept the Mapu Tofu as a staple on the menu because it's the best I've ever had! read more

The third time wasn't such a charm. My first experience here was with some Singapore style noodles and a kimchi base that was pretty spicy, but really tasty. Second and third experience was with some Szechuan noodles and a peanut base and it just is not terribly appealing. The food wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't anything to come back and get a fourth time. This time I ordered it with chicken added on, and I expected breast meat chicken. It was a bit grizzly and obviously thigh meat. ServiceMet expectations and I like the Prescott dining area. read more

It was a very long wait. Very little Kimchi in kimchi noodles dish. Spicy garlic noodles were greasy. Added chicken but it was diced cubed chicken and also very little amount. Carrot daikon salad was also unimpressive. All in all not worth the money. read more

Came to check out the new market hall in West Oakland..

We tried dishes from several vendors, and although we were looking forward to Woo Can Cook, the basil chicken fried rice was disappointing, not at all edible. First, the rice was hard and greasy, then not enjoyable to eat. Second, the meat was made up of odd, small cubes that looked like tiny pieces of tofu, and tasted rugged, with a tough texture. Third, there was no basil! Total waste of money. read more

Terrible food and even worse customer service. Incredibly greasy, salty, and lacking in real flavor. Will not be back here. We got the kimchi noodles, which had maybe 2 small pieces of kimchi, with probably 1 full cup of oil, and the general tso chicken rice bowl. The General Tso chicken bowl was incredibly over salted, and the rice was barely cooked. read more

I ordered the Thai basil fried rice today, and honestly it was the most underwhelming and overpriced fried rice I've had (especially in Oakland). Easily something anyone could make at home and probably do it better. Absolutely zero heat and very minimal flavor. I would've preferred half the portion if they put in twice the effort. The tea was good so two stars for that. I would never order again though. read more

The steamed chicken dumplings were terrible. Both the filling and the skin was soft and pasty to the point I wasnt sure if it was cooked all the way (I didn't get sick). The skin and filling just kinda mushed together like a homogenized doughy texture. No delicate bite in the skin or texture in the meat. Then the spicy crispy chicken egg noodles were tasty, but lacking in meat for the tall price. Plus, I'm generally not into angel thin noodles but it's what the wife wanted. Tater tots are super tasty but tbh tots are kinda hard to do terribly. I'll try them again. But yeah fix the dumplings. read more

Went yesterday for the HH what a waste. We got the popcorn chicken which was super salty and had a weird flavor. Also the sausage skewers which I couldn't even bite into. Ended up dumping it. Also ordered the daikon salad which had ZERO taste. I don't not recommend this place. Food was awful read more

It is just wrong that this place is at 3.5 stars on Yelp right now. I'm sitting here at Prescott Market food hall (a cozy community vibe) and I'm just amazed at these flavors! Got the orange chicken (over rice) and carrot daikon sesame salad. So fresh, so tasty. You can't handle a little spice, then keep on walking. But if you love delicious food, this is the spot. Plus ordered beers and they came with cute free cozies! read more

Food was cold, steamed rice was uncooked and still hard. I asked for a refund and was denied. Very bad food, even worse customer service.

Customer service was great. I ordered chicken fried rice and fried noodle . I didn't like the chicken, but the fried rice was delicious. The fried noodle, I don't like it because very fried and dry for me. read more

The Spicy Kimchi Noodles are actually kinda spicy! Love it. Nice and tasty, kinda oily but I like it that way.

Huge services! Quick service and you are given a buzzer to know when to pick up food. I found the dishes a little simple - for example the noodle dish we got was pretty much just noodles in sauce without and veggies or anything to make it more of a meal. The pineapple friend rice had a bit more going on. Nice music and lively area with indoor and outdoor seating. Good for families. read more

We got the chicken fried rice. It was oddly textured somehow there was a sticky sense to it,not sure if it was the corn or the rice at fault. It was a very sad fried rice to put it plain and simple. I also got the mocktail Mojito, for $8 it was really overpriced,tasted very watered down,and couldn't even tell it was mojito,there was just the taste of melted ice when an ice has a freezer burn. I hope they can do better,since they are the only rice spot in that place. Good thing I saw FOB is opening soon. But overall, with their small menu, they could really improve on the taste to encourage repeat business from consumers. read more

Make sure you check the website for their current location. Yelp's location is inaccurate. They are currently popped up next to Wondrous Brewing in Emeryville. My gf was at the brewery with her coworkers and brought some garlic noodles home. I was amazed with the crispy garlic noodles and the chili oil flavor I ate the whole thing before I even realized. The texture of the noodles is as if you were to eat instant noodles straight from the bag, nice and crunchy, with the flavor of spicy garlic noodles. I went on their website to find their menu so I can go buy more things. I got their garlic noodles again and also got their kimchi and bacon fried rice. Next time I'll get it in burrito form because why not? It sounds intriguing. But the fried rice was honestly only ok. It was average tasting. I will consistently go back for their garlic noodles and I will try more things from the menu. Great pop up find, wish them more business, cannot say this enough, I love the garlic noodles. read more

Tried the garlic noodles at this place and... I want my time, money, and taste buds back. For something advertised as flavorful, these noodles were tragically dry, over fried, and aggressively bland. They somehow managed to make a greasy noodle dish taste like cardboard. And for the price? $16+tax. I was expecting some flavor, maybe a hint of sauce, or even just a sprinkle of seasoning. But no -- what I got felt like a sad experiment in how far you can stretch a $0.50 packet of instant noodles and still charge gourmet prices. read more

I saw this business at a craft/vendor type of fair in Berkeley and wanted to try them out. The delicious aroma drew me in. I was sadly very disappointed. I ordered the crispy kimchi bacon fried rice. It looked good, but there were burnt pieces scattered throughout the rice so the overpowering flavor was just a burnt aroma. The pieces of rice that were not burnt had no flavor. It lacked seasoning so it was bland. read more
