The lady and I hit this place up. I’ve never done Filipino cuisine before. I don’t stray too much from cheeseburgers and nachos. But I’s like “aiight”. Plus, we saw it on “Bay Area Check Please” and had it as a place to check out. She had the pork adobo and plain rice. I tasted a chunk of pork with the gravy and rice. It was tasty. Nah’mean!?? For me, I got the fried chicken and a bowl of garlic rice. Chicken was crunchy. Juicy. Especially with the house made hot sauce. Of course was seasoned to a Filipino homies flavor palette. Not sure of the spices. But it was cool. I dug it. This was me expanding my food adventure. I give it a thumbs up. Also, I gotta add, the music was dope. Lotta Dilla, D’Angelo, Soulquarian vibe while we were there. If you know, you know.

We are from Oregon and were invited here by friends.
Wife and I arrived early, before our friends group, and were greeted by friendly staff who treated us like family and engaged us with conversation while we waited.
FOB – Filipino Oakland Baes- ask about this when you go.
Drinks were great, food fantastic, and the family friendly service was amazing. My favorite was the pork Adobo with a slight kick.
If you are looking for a down to earth spot with a Michelen menu then give this spot a try.
I promise you will not regret it.

I will be back!

We got milkfish, tocino and longaniza and veg lumpia. The lumpia was ok, but everything else was great. Also really enjoyed the rice. The best highlight though was the pandan cold brew.

Great casual Filipino spot! Stopped in for a quick lunch and was seated and served quickly. Ordered a plate of Tocina and Crispy Pork belly and it was just the right amount of food, not too large and not too small. Also incredibly tasty without being too heavy. Great way to get all the food groups in one go. Would come again!

Good Filipino eats. Went with the Prix Fixe menu for 2 during Restaurant Week. My favorites were Fried Chicken and Pancit. I’ll go back to try the brunch menu. Plenty of Vegan options.

Excellent Filipino food. I would say ‘tastes like home’ but in some ways it’s even better. The dishes are nicely balanced (meat + greens) and beautifully plated. Cocktails are superb.

I took my staff here for lunch. It was a top notch experience. Rosa, our server, was so amazing. She was very friendly, engaging and welcoming. The food was so flavorful and beautifully arranged on the plate. There were several vegetarian and gluten free options available. The atmosphere was a vibe, from the music to the decor. It’s very obvious that a lot of thought and attention to detail went into creating this space!

Nestled in the heart of Oakland’s Temescal district, FOB Kitchen is a gem that brings Filipino cuisine to life with a perfect blend of tradition and modern flair. Our recent visit was nothing short of a culinary adventure, and we left with our taste buds dancing in delight.
We discovered FOB Kitchen while watching an episode of Cook’s Country on YouTube, and as a family of 6, we drove all the way from the South Bay to explore their menu. and it was worth every mile. We started with the Pork Adobo paired with garlic fried rice, a classic dish that showcased tender pork simmered to perfection in a rich, tangy sauce. The garlic fried rice added a fragrant and savory touch, making it a comforting and satisfying combination.
Next, we tried the Daing na Bangus, a beautifully marinated milkfish that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Its bold flavors were complemented by the freshness of the accompanying sides.
The Fried Chicken was a delightful surprise—crispy, juicy, and seasoned impeccably. It was a testament to how even the simplest dishes can shine when executed with care.
The Lechon Kawali, a thrice-cooked pork belly, was a showstopper. Its crispy skin and succulent meat were paired with a tangy dipping sauce that elevated the dish to new heights.
For a vegetarian option, the Torta ng Talong stole the spotlight. This eggplant omelet was hearty, flavorful, and a wonderful addition to the meal.
We couldn’t resist indulging in not one, but two desserts. The Turon, with its caramelized banana and jackfruit wrapped in a crispy shell, was the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch. We also savored the Suman, a sticky rice delicacy topped with luscious slices of mango that added a refreshing and fruity twist—a true taste of tradition.
Beyond the incredible food, FOB Kitchen offers a charming alfresco dining area. The quaint outdoor space adds to the restaurant’s warm and inviting ambiance making it a great spot to enjoy a meal in the open air. The wait staff were friendly and attentive, adding a personal touch to our dining experience. Additionally , the restaurant has a small parking lot shared with other businesses, and street parking is available , making it relatively easy to visit. FOB Kitchen is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home.
Whether you’re a fan of Filipino cuisine or new to its flavors, FOB Kitchen is a must-visit destination that promises a memorable dining experience-especially if you’re willing to make the trek for food that truly captivates the soul.

The food was great, and the vibe was chill. I had the pork adobo and glass noodles as my main dishes, plus some spring rolls for appetizers. Their non-alcoholic drinks were also really refreshing. I’m definitely coming back to try more dishes!

Best Filipino restaurant I’ve been to in a long time!
I’ve wanted to try this place ever since we moved to the East Bay, so when my wife and I had a chance for a night out we decided to give this spot a try.
Located in a mini strip mall, the restaurant space is small, but intimate. The decor is nice and pleasant. The restaurant was understaffed, expecting it to be a quiet night, but it got busy quick. The staff were still on it and should be commended for the job they did! Super friendly and attentive and hustling!
The food was awesome! We started with the Lechon Kawali, the Veggie Lumpia and the Ensalada Talong. The dishes were on point! The salad was really good! For our mains (Ulam), my wife ordered to Pancit Sotanghon and I ordered the Pork Adobo; yes, I went pork heavy, but it’s a Filipino restaurant, so I had to. The Pancit was good, but the Pork Adobo was awesome, especially with the garlic rice. The dish was so well prepared… To finish it off we shared the Sumon which transported me back to when I lived in the Philippines.
Overall, this was a great spot which we’ll be frequenting often!
