I have been enjoying Touch of Soul for several years, at the former San Pablo location. I finally made it to Touch of Soul at the new(ish) location on Adeline in Emeryville. It was excellent! The food was spot on with all dishes cooked with aplomb. It seemed better than ever. Had the 1/2 fried chicken and it is always sooo good. They do not rely on the batter to make it tasty as too many others do. Their chicken is battened perfectly but it is not the only gem. Skin is always super crispy and the meat cooked to perfection. Big flavor, juicy meat, and really not greasy. My sides were the mac, brussel sprouts and dressing with gravy. Last night the dressing was the stand out. They make it with noticeable sweetness which is the best match with their rich and savory gravy. My only issue with TOS (a personal pet peeve) is they never returned to real plates and actual silverware. All you can get even for dine-in are plastic utensils. However This is meaningless when the food is just that dam goodTOS has always been a delightful group of people and that continues to be the case. They are always so kind and welcoming. I will go eat at places where staff treats me like crap if the food is real good. But at TOS this is never an issue. Just wonderful to eat outstanding fare while feeling like you are with family. (Well, at least with the parts of the family that are chilI, not the ones that are all fucked up and crazy.)TOS FTW!!

I eat here a lot and really enjoy it but I do feel like the quality is very variable - when it's good it's REALLY good but I would pass on most of the menu. The chicken wings are really hit or miss, maybe it depends on the cook that day. The last few times they've been weirdly underseasoned and chewy. I'd stick to the smothered or grilled chicken. Catfish is also kind of mid. But the sides are amazing. Delicious mashed sweet potato, greens, potato salad, and the biscuit...yummm.Sometimes my order is messed up when I order inside they're pretty busy and I keep coming back but it's happened a few too many times for my preference.It's pretty decent soul food for CA but since I'm from the south I can't help but compare. The service is really attentive and nice. The vibes are really good and it feels like a cozy social spot for sure, so I feel the need to give it its props there.

Oxtails had too much fat, doesn't come with rice. The greens, yams, not pictured, mac and cheese was prepared by a 10 yr old who's learning how to cook. Waste of money for me.

We went to the Touch of Soul in Oakland on Adeline. We got to the restaurant 45 minutes before they opened on a Sunday morning. They were kind enough to allow us to sit inside until they opened. The food was really good and you got a lot of food. We got the 3-way, and it was enough food for 3 meals. The service was lacking. They needed more waiters and the waiter they took our order had on sweatpants that didn't fit on his waist. So, we saw more of him than we wanted to. The restaurant is small but nicely furnished, clean and decorated well.When I'm back in Oakland, I'll come back.
