Landed here after a long starving road trip back from LA. Can't believe I've never been here before. Not sure if it was the travel delirium but this place felt magical. Flavors and variety were on point. On the house appetizer plate was a nice touch. We were blessed enough to get the grand tour by one of the owners, who happens to be an all around awesome individual. BBQ brisket was my fav of the meats you grill. But honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Service was friendly, attentive and not annoying. Ambiance was perfect, intimate and fun without being pompous. Recommend doing all you can eat because a la carte adds up fast. First time at this style restaurant and feel like I've been missing out. Favorite Bay Area Korean BBQ!

The "spicy" fried chicken sandwich was a decent size, but it didn't really pack a punch. Instead, it was actually flavored with a sweet and tangy sauce. Not what I expected, but not bad.
The sweet potato tempura stole the show! They came out piping hot and crispy. I definitely recommend getting these.
The food was good, but I would mostly come back for the ambiance. The space is quite large and there is a gorgeous warm glow created by lanterns hanging from the ceiling. There are also several projector screens that show movies and sports games. Overall, a great spot to come catch up with friends!

Came here few years ago for my cousins bday & I loved everything about this place! The food, drinks & the atmosphere. I love that they play movies, so you can eat while you watch. Their set up reminds me of a picnic like setting but if you want a more private area, they have a room towards the back you can walk in to.
I came here just recently maybe a couple weeks ago. We ordered ribs, pork belly baos, fried chicken, kimchi pancake & I'm not sure what the name of this dish is called but it had rice with either beef or pork. I was sad to find out they no longer serve the Brussel sprout. Overall, the food is DELICIOUS & I would most def. come back again! I brought my son here & has asked to come back which is surprising bcos he is a picky eater.
Downside-- parking lot is small & it gets packed. But there is side street parking.

This place is so cool! Great atmosphere though the food is pretty unremarkable - lots of greasy meat in sugar sauce or deep fried meat thing but hey that's how Oakland stands now. Only downside is that it attracts a lot of basic people since it has easy parking. Usually you can tell a place sucks if the yelp reviewers mention easy parking but this isn't That kind of place. Nice place to take a date but get lots of napkins as your face and fingers are gonna get greasy!!!

I only tried their drinks, and both the Jabberwocky and Fuego Strawberry Margarita were amazing! It was quick, well-blended, and tasted great! The interior was super chill and aesthetic. I liked the dim, subdued dining area on one side, and the more lively picnic tables and high top seating on the other. Because it was in the basement, it was a bit chillier. I would definitely come back for their drinks, and I'd like to try their food in the future.

Dope vibe! Great food! Hidden gem! A classic Oakland spot. I almost want to keep it a secret.

Reliably chill service, great drinks and interesting menu. There's even parking. Legit

Blind Tiger is great place to get a quick drink and also some quick Asian fusion foods.
First thing I did notice about the place it down in the basement with hallways full of street art which is really a plus because of the Bay Areas huge graffiti culture. Once you enter you see the bar right away and gives you straight forward instructions that it is indeed a bar and you pick your food and drinks at the counter. There are projectors that show movies/shows which is great for entertainment purposes.
My wife and I came during a Monday haha but overall which made it all the better because we were able to experience everything with ease. No need to worry about busyness or people standing or even just the hustle and bustle background noise. For sure on from Wednesday-Saturday must be busy but the experience overall was nice.
Food I'd say was good. It could have been great but most of all the foods we ate after the first bite it was good but as we continued eating we noticed it was indeed pretty salty and some foods were mushy. We did love the big portions they served and the huge bites of spam in the musubis and Kimichi fried rice.
All and all the place really is great! I'd recommend going on a down time day like a Monday! But I'm sure it would be busy later in the week from Wednesday-Saturday
