Korner Kitchen and Bar

Finishing this old review I had drafted! Not sure if they are still open with the same vendors anymore. Their website link isn't working and they haven't posted on IG since October of 2024. Hopefully they are still open because I loved my experience there! I happened to go when they had a BTS pop up, so I received some BTS cupholder sleeves, which I can tell a lot of BTS fans were super excited about. There were a few vendors selling art and hancrafted (some BTS themed) goods. It was really cool and festive. Was really looking forward to getting the ube cocktail at the bar, but they didn't have them that day. There is seating indoors and outdoors (shaded, under tents) so it was nice and airy. I loved the Noodle Belly noodles, sugar mama sugar cane drink, and Korean hodduk from Sammy's. Everything was great, but I think my favorite item was the noodles! Every vendor and bar staff were super friendly, great customer service.

I would love for this place to have a regular brick-and-mortar location, but for now, we have to settle for the random pop-up food fairs and the location in Fruitvale. The food was tasty, and the portion and price were better than most. Now I have four places on my list for the Fruitvale area.BB

Came Here Looking For "Padrón Gril" A Vegan Spot I Saw On TikTok. Turns Out It Was A Vendor Working With Korner Kitchen At The Time. However, Korner Kitchen Is Legit! Menu Is Small But The Options Seem Delicious! To Order Food You Walk Up To The Bar Straight In The Middle Of The Patio & You Get A Chance To Look At Their Menu Or Whatever Vendor They Are Working With At The Moment.I Spoke With Who Im Thinking Is The Owner. Didn't Get His Name But Guy Was Very Friendly, Professional & If You Need Any Food Recommendations From The Menus He Got You!He Recommended I Get Their "Noodle Belly $20. Not Too Expensive As Long As The Flavors There. Comes With Garlic Noodles Your Choice Of Protein & A Vegetable. I Ordered The Broccolini With Shrimp! Belive Me Flavors Were Definitely There!The Patio Has Three Large Screen TVs So You Can Eat And Wacth Whatever Is Happening At The Time. Today They Had The UFC Fight And Summer Slam! Nice.Would I Come Here Again. Sure, But With Friends! The Vibes Are Nice Here & Service Is On Point!

Rated this based off picking up a large Queen Emma Cake from Ono Bakehouse. On the system, the person who took my order placed it for 3pm rather than 8am, the time I opted for. When I got there at 8am, I found out and I was worried as I had class right after. However, the baker assured me that it was fine and he would get the cake ready-- just give him some time. I'd tell you, not all heroes wear capes, some wear aprons. He gave us a place to sit down and we waited for a bit. After 15 minutes, we got our cake with some great tips about caring for it as it was technically not ready yet. Overall, thank you for the amazing experience!

Did you even know this place existed? I didn't, but I'm so glad I've made the discovery! It's definitely a hidden gem. It's literally located right next to the Fruitvale Bart parking lot, and the amount of times I've drove by not knowing it existed....It's adorable. The tables are covered in bright and colorful floral wraps. I love it; it makes the tables easier to sanitize. There's plenty of heat lamps, shade, and lots of foliage! It's vibrant, fun, and so lively with the DJ playing!I stopped by on a Thursday after work for a quick lil dinner. From Noodle Bar, I got the Noodle Belly Combo with lomo saltado and grilled broccolini. THE NOODLES WERE SO DREAMY and outshined it all. I LOVE broccolini but in this instance I could have cared less. I didn't love the lomo saltado, but I enjoyed it. I can't get enough of those noodles....next time I'll have to purchase a take home kit.From the bar I got a passion fruit margarita and it was tasty! I would have had another had I not drove. I can't wait to come back and try other vendors! Definitely a hidden gem in Oakland.

Came here for a birthday and the ambiance, food, and drinks were all top tier.The owners and workers were "family" -They made their rounds and checked in on us while we were celebrating a birthday here. Made us feel welcomed.The bar is a stone's throw from the Bart Station -The setup is pretty cool. It's out of place for that part of Oakland, but in a GOOD way.The food and drinks were FIRE -I had the "HALO AT ME", THREE TIMES. This drink had Ube infused Vodka and was delicious, but potent. Their Bò Kho Egg rolls were the BEST egg rolls I've ever had... and I'm Vietnamese through and through.Overall, solid place. Definitely coming back soon.

A really cool outdoor spot for food and drinks! It was hard to find at night at first.. we had to do a couple circles around the area to find it. Ended up parking on the free level of the bart station and walked over. The space is really welcoming and has heaters and tvs as well. You order your food up front and they serve it out to you.We tried out the lumpia, rice paper pizza, arroz caldo, and pork belly fries for food. Everything was really good and shareable! Drinks wise had the "halo at me" ube drink and toki highball. Wasn't too much of a fan of the highball, but the ube drink was sooooo good. I will order this drink everytime I go here now!

This place is so welcoming! The decor, the people, and food and drinks were so comforting! Everyone was so inviting upon arrival which is a great sign! I tried almost everything on the menu and all of the dishes are a hit!! The drinks are beautifully crafted, my favorite had to be the AAPI Americano as well as the Halo at me. You have to go to try it yourself, overall I can say I had a good experience! Good people = a good time!!

This is a cool pop-up venue! I went for a BTS cup sleeve event. They had a bunch of vendors in the first courtyard, both goods and food vendors. Further inside they have a covered patio area to hang out, and a bar built out of I think an old container compartment maybe? They have creative drinks and the bartenders are super cool and friendly. Noodle Belly is a regular food vendor (maybe in-house?) other than the other pop-up food vendors they host. They seem to regularly host BTS fan events so I'll be back. Easy parking in the BART parking lot is a big upside.
