  One of the best affordable meals in Oakland. Staff is always incredibly friendly as well. Underrated, honestly I tell everyone in Oakland all the time about Hawking Bird

  When this place first opened, the chicken was nicely cooked, it was tender and juicy. The salad greens that comes along with it for the KMG Salad had unique minty herbs. Nowadays, the chicken is dry and needs to be soaked with the side broth. The greens from the salad is just cilantro and cucumber. However, the prices are still reasonable. I really hope they recreate the old style salad and chicken.

  Absolutely love the menu here, the staff, service, and general ambiance & aesthetic. Some of the best food period in Temescal, especially the vegetarian tofu options. Wish I could cook tofu that well myself! Welcoming, friendly, and helpful staff who add to the whole experience.
