Reviews for Mua in Oakland, CA
We were a group of 4 for dinner on a Sunday night. 2 of us had been before and recommended it. The vibe is very chill and has an... industrial aesthetic. We literally ordered half of the menu because the dishes are small and meant to be shared. Everything wasgood but the stand outs for us were the "not cheese" Mac and cheese, the chicken wings, the brussel sprouts, the crispy polentaand the garlic shrimp. The service was very friendly. The DJ was on point! The music was a highlight for me. We were dancing inour seats. Why didn't I give it 5 stars? First, my cocktail was just so-so and the prices are quite expensive. But, apparentlythe prices are typical for the Bay area. Read more
This place seems to be mix of different food fusions. We ordered a few items and they were good. Brussels, wings, ribs,... collard greens, bone marrow, no cheese Mac and cheese. Margaritas very good. Music was too Loud. That 20% mandatory gratitudedoes not sit well with me. I believe people should be allowed to tip what they want. First based on serve and secondly itsgratitude and cannot be forced . Stop this madness. One time visit is enough. Read more
What an interesting spot. I'm giving 4 stars since I just can't get to the price to quality ratio (not bad, but definitely not... great for the cost), but you'd be hard pressed to find a quirkier spot for a date night. Ambiance: Eclectic mix of music fromhouse, chill hop, lofi, even some flute action that came out of nowhere. Art and art-adjacent (e.g. is particle board with astick figure painted on it really art?) things adorn the wall. Plenty of seating in a very open-air dining area connected to abar alley. Food: Small plates and medium plates ranging from new American to southern to Asian influence to other assortedcuisine. The menu directly reflects the ambiance in that it has no idea what it really is trying to be, but it just works. Thebone marrow was -chef's kiss- as was the cornbread that came with the fried chicken. Everything else was so-so togood. Verdict: Nope, this won't get you going like Sally faking an O in front of Harry in that scene at the diner, though youwill walk out thinking you've had far worse meals in your life. Read more
It has been a while since I have had the pleasure of dining here, and the food is still delsh and vibe is still cool. The play... list gives a nightclub vibe and I love it! We dined on the blackened catfish, CQB burger, none dairy-free mac n cheese, andbrussle sprouts. For dessert, we had the Pineapple upside-down cake. I recommend all of these. Read more
Been a customer since 2011! My go to order is the CBQ burger - it?s really filling and has a lot of fantastic ingredients in it.... The other item we ordered is the catfish with was really good as well. The ambiance is cool vibes ++ dope art ++ stylish peopleall gathered up in a warehouse. Really recommend for birthday dinners / renting out the space for events Read more
So delicious. One of my favorite places to eat. Parking is a little tricky in the city but it's worth it. The website said... reservations only available online but when I showed up they were taking them over the phone so not sure what happened there...The squash Mac and cheese is the creamiest best version of any Mac Ive ever had. Including Homeroom. And the wings with fishsauce?! Are like some Vietnamese decadence. One of the tastiest dishes I've ever had. Spot on goodness. The drinks were good.Our server was... Far less than friendly and didn't ever check on our food or drinks. Including water. So that was kind of abummer... The food was delicious. Definitely willing to try again... Read more
Such a cool place to eat. Me and my husband were both very impressed about this place. There was a dj and great music, service... was nice, cool people around and really tasty food. We will come back here again. Read more
Get the fried polenta! It's incredible!!! My drink was incredible. Not overly sweet. The had a separate menu for gluten... free/vegetarian/vegans. The main thing I would change would be the music and volume of the music. It sounds like a club andfeels like a classy establishment. A bit hard to have a conversation. Even a bit hard to order with the server. Server wasexcellent and checked in on us a perfect amount of times. Very cool art displayed as well. Overall, wonderful experience andwill come again.
