Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in San Leandro

The food and service was excellent. The sushi nigiri, rolls and sashimi were nicely prepared and well sized! Wide variety of Japanese whiskeys and mixed drinks. Love the energy of this place, inside and out!

Born and raised in the Bay Area but have been living in SF proper for 14 years now. Kinda ashamed to say I finally checked out this SF institute today but better late than never as the food and service were absolutely incredible! I consider myself a cioppino connoisseur so had to try theirs and cross it off my list. I must say, the cioppino at Original Joe’s definitely did not disappoint and immediately shot to my top 5 list for sure. Throw in the impeccable service we received from our server David and his fellow team members and I can see why it’s become such a San Francisco landmark! Kudos to Original Joe’s in North Beach!

Our experience was wonderful. My party of twelve was seated upstairs to afford us a little more privacy and the ambiance was percect. The service was attentive without being intrusive and they were always near if a request for something popped up. The food was excellent with a menu that offered enough options to offer tantalizing decisions that had me wanting to order more than one entre'. We will be going back!

Ours was a party of four. Our server, Zamire was exceptional and attentive. We went with her recommendations and enjoyed everything. Highly recommend and will return.

I first experienced this restaurant chain in Barcelona and have enjoyed its California cousin. Unusual and delicious food, great service. Reasonable value.
