East Bay Eats opened months ago in the empty cavernous site of departed Salvation Army Thrift Shop. The present infrastructure has a service counter, 2 ordering kiosks, 2 unisex restrooms, 8 tables inside for dining & 1 table outside for waiting food delivery drivers. The unseen footage left for food vendors...Medium sized parking capacity peaks when diners picking up eats and delivery drivers converge at the same time. (Evenings).The associate at service counter courteous, very helpful with answers to service & order related questions.Only 3 vendors available with slenderized menu. (Didar Persian Foods, Bobjip, Pupuseria Las Cabanas). All others either departed or taking a seasonal siesta. New vendors arriving in January.The kiosks easy to use albeit slow either due to software issues or designed lethargy to allow users to digest data provided. Names were called out when orders were ready. Text messages also utilized. My iphone didn't get one. It's busy porting from Xfinity to Verizon. No internet either.Not much decor. Just East Bay Eats painted on one wall. Adjacent wall has seemingly random lines of color. 3.5 stars YMMV.

Nice concept. It's a ghost kitchen. There are many restaurants to chooses from. We tried bobjip last time. This time we tried the new MJ Hong Kong Cafe and Mom's Hawaiian bake.We ordered MJ online but we ordered Mom's there. It was convenient. There was a girl there helping and answered my question about Musibi Libre since i didn't see it on the kiosks. She said I had to scan the QR code to order separately.There are tables inside as well if you'd like to dine in. Lots of ppl come in to grab stuff from the lockers. We enjoyed our experience. We will be back to try more restaurants next time.

East Bay Eats is tucked away in a quieter plaza in downtown Hayward, this is a food hall / ghost kitchen kind of spot. There is a shared parking lot as well. The exterior and interior is modern and pretty clean - it was a bit smaller than it looked / I expected with some seating off to the side. Ordering is online or through the kiosks at the front counter with no one at the front for questions, but someone usually comes out to bring food out to the counter, if you can flag them down. I was able to try Pho 99 from here. I wanted boba from ChaChaGo as well, but not sure if they are still here or just were not opened at the time I stopped by. Anyway, I ordered ahead online and my food was ready within about 15 minutes.

Who you gonna call? GHOST KITCHENS! You feel like spam musubi, you got it. Want some bibimbap, yep, got it. How about some masala donuts, hmm mmm, it's here too. Hot dogs, boba tea, Indian, Korean... you name it, they probably have it... and the list just continues to grow.You can either order online or go to their kiosks to place an order. There are seats if you want to dine in but for most folks, its take out. Its a contactless kitchen, there's only one person working the front desk and that's to give you your order. Ghosts be making food good in their kitchen(s). :)

This is what I think some big tech companies want our food to look like in the future: hospital cafeteria.You go in, order at a kiosk, and then your name is called out at the counter or you can pick up your food at a locker with a link. The good about this place: the abundance of food options, the time estimate, and there's some seating.The bad: the time estimates are not always correct (in fact my boba came out almost 15 minutes after the estimated time), the seating is sparse with just 6 small cramped tables and some bar chairs, and you cannot really correct your order given the impersonal nature of the food. On top of that, the kiosks ask you if you want to tip even though you've had no human interaction at that point - and there's no "other" option for tipping, only set percentages of 15%, 20%, 22%, or nothing. This place really makes you feel uneasy about the direction of tech and fast food. Makes you wonder how much these folks are getting paid to cook our food. And then the amount of packaging does not make you feel great either. Everything was packed in plastic and paper. It's not the best. Things here are a hit or miss. We also had a problem with my boba being too hard and uncooked, and I got it anyways. My chicken gyro had little flavor. My partner loved his eel bowl and spam musubi. We weren't a fan of the chocolate dosa. But we were impressed we could order as much of a variety as we did.This place could use some more life. There was no music playing. And I heard people asking about their orders, food delivery people walking in and out looking at the lockers and screens for status updates, and then unknowing customers walking in exclaiming that they thought it'd be a food hall and not like this, and then walk out. Not sure if we would be excited to come back, but if we do, it'd be on a night my partner and I were craving something different than each other.

I was really excited to check this out and even more excited that it's here in Hayward. The entrance is off the Downtown Hayward parking lot that is behind Buffalo Bills and Casa Del Toro. You can order ahead online or they have kiosks for you to order when you arrive. The kiosk is really easy to use you're able to see all the different restaurants available and their menu. We had to wait about 10-15 mins for our order to be ready and since it was busy they just called out name out. They do have a few tables there for you to eat, but we just took our food home. They do also have 2 restrooms if you need it. I ordered from Pupusas Las Cabañas and got 2 revuelta pupusas. They were a bit cold when I got home, but it was just from the drive home. I really like this concept of multiple kitchens in one area as it helps feed into the cravings of different people. I would recommend and return.

East Bay Eats is a new ghost kitchen located in Downtown Hayward offering various eats under one roof. The concept is more for delivery and takeout with a few tables for dining.My first order and visit was for Didar Persian Cuisine and did not disappoint. It's best to order online via: https://eastbay-eats.com to minimize the wait or you can order at the kitchen. When you arrive, there's someone at the counter to assist with pickup, ordering at the touchscreen kiosk and answer any questions. Friendly, welcoming and professional. Great concept but I wish they offered a bit more variety with regard to cuisines. I love Middle Eastern, Persian and Indian food but this location had very similar flavors and items. Also, I was hoping for some new purveyors or startups but noticed restaurants that already exist within 4 miles of this ghost kitchen. Still a great concept and Hayward is in need of upping its culinary scene with more food creatives. Looking forward to trying other items: BBQ, Hawaiian sweets, Korean, and Chinese noodle spot. Plenty of lot parking.

We've been there a couple of times. We love the choices from Homemade Onolicious bread, cookies , cakes & Furikake mix ! I'm pretty sure we've tried it all ! I did order the lemon crunch cake for my birthday and it was light , fluffy & lemon & crunchy toffee yumminess . Tina the owner is very kind & full of OHANA hospitality. The whole East Bay eats is a variety of different foods in a ghost kitchen setting . It is very clean inside. Looking forward to trying out the all the varieties of food . The only downside is the area to eat all these different foods , seating is limited & no outdoor tables to enjoy a beautiful California day . I wouldn't recommend a huge party unless you're going to tailgate in the parking lot . It is very easy to order on the kiosk & it literally comes out quickly .

This place is fairly new. I stopped by to check it out since I've been wondering what it was all about. I was happily surprised of what it is they do in there. I spoke to one of the workers and I was told that they basically do ghost kitchens. Where restaurants pay for space to be able to cook what they normally cook from their menus. That is awesome! Especially since going to the restaurants sometimes takes a long time or maybe too far. To place an order you can either order online or on the app by scanning the QR code on the window or walking inside they have two large kiosks touch screen where you see what ghost kitchens are available at the time. They have a small section where you can actually eat there once your food is ready. The food itself is made exactly as if you were at the restaurant. The only difference is that they give you your food in a to go container since this is basically that.. orders to go. I had pupusas from Las Cabañas Pupuseria. Popular salvadoeian restaurant here in Hayward. So pupluar that food sometimes takes a long while to get. Here I waited no longer than 15mns. Once you place the order you basically pay on the kiosk put in your phone number and you get a text when they're preparing your food when your food is ready and that's it. East Bay eats welcome to Hayward. I will definitely be a returning customer. With so many different restaurants underneath one roof. This Amazing! For those of you wondering there's a huge parking lot so parking is never an issue. If you haven't already please check them out, you will not be disappointed.
