Finally had an opportunity to visit Lena's Soul Food Restaurant, located in Oakland, CA. Although the restaurant just does take-out only. I found the restaurant staff to be very friendly, the food selection great. I decided to have the fried fish plate and the food fresh. The portion sizes are hearty, allowing for you to either share a meal or spilit the entree into two separate meals. I will most certainly return in the future.
I went to Lena’s on Sunday and the food was amazing!!!! I didn’t have any complaints. The yams were PERFECT! They were the best yams I’ve had in a long time. The mac n cheese was to die for. I had a side of cabbage that was good too. The cornbread taste like my grandma’s cornbread. The sweet potato pie was everything!!! I will definitely be back this Sunday. The customer service was amazing too. Shout out to Jamiela who I spoke with on the phone while trying to catch them before they close during my 45 minute commute. They were closing but was waiting for my arrival. I definitely recommend this place!
From Dallas visiting the Bay Area. I wanted some comfort soul food. This place hits the spot, delicious fried chicken, flavorful greens and slap your momma yams!! I went twice!!
I come to Lena's whenever I have a taste for soul food which for me is always the fried fish entree (it's Basa). I get the dinner order and it is always....did you hear me? ALWAYS hot, fresh, perfectly fried with a light crunch and oh so good. I ask for crunchy pieces and they never disappoint in freshness and taste. You get a nice portion as well. They have the b-e-s-t mac and cheese in this part of town, their greens are bomb, I even got the succotash one day and it was delicious as well! Can't go wrong with Lena's (🤤) Enjoy!
Food was AMAZING and I'm from the south so I know good soul food and was also very reasonably priced for the portion sizes definitely would visit again
The restaurant is take out only and that's fine. The food was good! The fried chicken is yummy, I did want more cheese and flavor in the Mac N cheese! The greens didn't like fresh made greens possibly canned. But the yams are amazing and that peach cobbler is rich and buttery. All in all I can't wait to go back and try soon else!
