"Discovered this Oakland-based brand of vegan Ethiopian prepared foods at Berkeley Bowl recently. The red lentil wat is delicious. The 'Ethiopian hummus' (shiro wat) is an interesting twist on the usual, lemony and spicy but no sesame. The yellow lentils are good but relatively bland compared with the red." – Robert Lauriston on Sheba Ethiopian vegan prepared foods
"I never really liked seafood chowder all that much until I had it at Bar Crudo. They made me realize what I had been missing all these years." – rebeccakinney on the rich, smoky clam chowder at Bar Crudo
"I've had the chow mein with hand pulled noodles a couple of times, and it is fantastic. Took a friend who loves noodles, and he, too, was blown away by the chow mein w/ hand-pulled noodles. (You have to ask for hand-pulled, and it costs a dollar extra, but worth it.)" – TopoTail on Ark Chinese Restaurant in Alameda
