Review Ben's - Oakland

Bert Shetler

Our lunch here was fantastic. The food was superb. David, the guy who greeted us and waited on us is truly a friendly person, and his dad, Ben is cooking in this wonderful hole-in-the-wall restaurant. We'll be back! We had Ben's fried rice, and Ben's Chow Mein. Both were delicious, and the topper is the chili sauce they make in-house. Yum!

Ben's is the best, no frills dining in the produce district next to Jack London Square. Love the mapo tofu and Singapore style rice noodle. Tableside fermented black bean sauce is a must.

First time here, ordered the mapo tofu with pork, hasn’t even come out yet, and the owner is offering me free sides of the Wednesday special fried chicken strips... Mapo tofu comes out... very different style than Im used to, more stir fried fresh veggies with slices of pork and tofu... but delicious and huge! For the price, it’s kind of unbelievable!

This place was great and exactly what I expected. Local and family run. Really friendly workers and fast service. Food is made to order, delicious and super well priced. Will be coming back again and again!

Ben's is located in the industrial part of Oakland in between produce markets. When I arrived I was happily welcomed. Excitement and enthusiasm. I observed when one employee came in - he washed his hands first and was equally inviting. I had the #26 fish with hearty veggies over rice in black bean sauce. Yum yum. I cannot believe I missed this hidden gem. You will NOT be disappointed! Bring cash, a good attitude and appetite. Come see what I mean. Only open a few hours a day. May want to call ahead. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😁 ENJOY!
