I live in the neighborhood and frequently pick up food. The food here is thoughtfully produced with an engaged owner as well as awesome employees making the food. The hot food to go is excellent - the dumplings, spicy sauce noodles, and bento fried chicken are my favorites. In todays work/live/eat only at home, their frozen dumplings to go have been special as well. On one hand, they are delicious and easy to cook (we pan fry/steam), on the other hand, theyve ruined all other frozen dumplings (looking at you TJs Gyoza). They may appear on the pricy side, but the quality is evident - give them a try!Bonus, when picking up, Original Pattern is right there - really under-rated micro-brewery with wide range of options recommended by brewers familiar with what does well alongside dumplings (hint: everything).
Being a vegan it is hard to find dumplings I can eat. Well Good to Eat Dumplings offers several vegan options that are absolutely delicious! I love the vegan pot stickers and their vegan spicy noodles. My husband enjoys all their other options. This is one of our favorites! You can also enjoy good beer from Original Pattern Brewery.
Try anything and everything on their menu. From the heartwarming and belly-happy tofu wontons to the done-to-perfection furu chicken and those out-of-this-world kinda potstickers - you just cant go wrong here. I love them to the moon and back! And the people behind this place have the biggest hearts and the greatest ideas. Pair this amazing food with the beer at original pattern and youll turn into the happiest little soul (guaranteed)!
Cool vibe. Indoor and outdoor seating. Small menu and the ordering and pickup process was efficient. Food was good. They maybe could add another dumpling or two to the order. Meet up with your friends and grab a beer or tree.
Good beer here and the dumplings and the pot stickers are to die for. Serious comfort food, especially when the weather turns and rain starts (if it starts; we are in California after all). Come here and enjoy great food, great beer and great service!
BOMB AF. no other words needed. YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE!! :) You wont regret it.
Great food and beer. The noodles are excellent, and so are the dumplings. The outdoor seating is very cute. Will go. Ack there again
The housemade chips are the best thing chips Ive ever had! The pork dumplings and spicy noodles were delicious! Super cute outdoor area with wine barrels as tables. The service was top notch, especially during this pandemic! Drinks and food took a couple minutes from ordering to being set onto the table. If you enjoy a place that has good beer, good food, and good vibes.. this place is a must!
Fantastic food. I only wish they stocked more pork wontons—have been here three times and never managed to snag them!
Phenomenally good, especially the pork sauce noodles and the chicken and basil dumplings (a special, not always there).
Shared some taster size brews ($3) and these dumplings (5 for $8). Everything was very well done, cool space too.
Okay I dont even know where to start. Everything weve had has been fantastic. Great potstickers. Great beer. Great staff!
Excellent dumplings … incredibly delicious yet feels balanced and good for stomach. I know I’m hooked now.
Really friendly service, and amazing long, noodle-shaped pot stickers. If you’re into this kind of thing - def check them out!
The dumplings were delicious! The seasoning was spot on. Would definitely have them again.
Moist mini fried chicken, delicious spicy noodles! You won’t be disappointed by this place!
Beer list is great, and the food was well priced .
Meh to the dumplings and beer. Best thing was the milk buns
I wish this was a joke but it might be the best food Ive had all year ??

2022-05-29 22:28:28Delicious but quantity is a bit lacking. The noodle dish needs a tad bit more of noodles. The meat sauce was very tasty. The bao was good but not worth $9. I also ordered a Poggy City which was refreshing and went well with the food. The bar was kind enough for me to test the beers out before purchasing. The space is very hipster, high ceiling and open concept. Great place to hang and grab a bite.

2021-06-09 06:48:12The FoodGrabbing lunch with a friend, and the desired choice was dumplings. Good to Eat Dumplings seemed like an interesting new place, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered their Pocket Dumplings (Pork) plus Spicy Noodle Set and Spicy Sauce Wontons. The Pocket Dumplings had a unique shape, but is your typical pan fried pork dumpling. My friend and I liked the Spicy Noodle, it wasnt super spicy, but had a nice chewiness and flavor. The Spicy Sauce Wontons is Hong You Chao Shou (紅油抄手) with the same sauce as the Spicy Noodle. The food was not bad, but also nothing special.The MiscellaneousThe restaurant, or I guess you can also call it a popup, is right outside of Original Pattern Brew Company. You most likely can spot it on the road as you drive by. Seatings are mostly outdoor, but there are a decent amount. The menu has a split between the beers of Original Pattern Brewing Company and a small selection of food. The price is expensive for what it is, and the quantity is also not much. I would say this is one of those interesting places you might try out once.

2021-08-24 20:52:05Definitely delicious, but pricey for the portion size and orders are delivered slowly. Additionally, it can be quite loud dining inside.Taiwanese food is so flavorful and mouthwatering! The pork wontons, spicy sauce wontons, spicy noodle, and fried fu-ru chicken we tried were all yummy. Of them all, I liked the spicy sauce wontons and noodles the best, though my husband preferred the pork wontons (not spicy). Again, everything was delicious, though!

2020-02-03 00:59:30Really cool popup in a great location (inside a fun brewery)! I ordered the shrimp + pork potstickers and the spicy pork wontons. These are a little pricey, but good sized appetizers. And overall both were clean and used high quality ingredients. Normally I like potsticker fillings to be more seasoned so remember to get the dumpling sauce =)

2021-10-24 22:57:44The quality and care at Good to Eat is pretty much unmatched. Its the perfect place to grab a delicious and fast bite and pairs perfectly with Original Patterns craft beer. Sundays are dumpling day which you dont want to miss! Tons of great vegan options on the menu too and it never disappoints. Great food, great service! Thank you Good to Eat ☺️

2019-11-24 22:56:50Perfect intersection of food and drinks: dumplings and craft beer!They had the bacon and kale dumplings as a special when I was there - divine. How have I never had bacon in my dumplings before?! Spicy wontons were also great.Pairs super well with an Enter Haze from Original Pattern Brewing.

2020-02-27 03:04:24A very chill place that serves fusion Asian food with craft beers. The wanton and spicy noodles were quite spicy, so be warned! But it’s a good comfort food if one is looking for some Asian food!

2020-03-27 14:02:56I first had these dumplings at the Eat Real Festival a few years ago. The wait in the super long line was totally worth it for the steaming hot, savory dumplings. The gingery, pork and shrimp filling was encased by a crispy yet chewy exterior. I returned each year to the stand and was pleased when they finally got a permanent spot in downtown Oakland. It’s still a bare bones operation, but the food is excellent.

2021-05-30 17:32:20This was a fun time! The tightly curated weekly menu made it easy to order—we just ordered everything. Surprisingly, the non-dumpling items—The furu chicken and Taiwanese doughnuts—were the highlights. I really loved the mix of kimchi, braised vegetables and sushi rice that the chicken came with. And the doughnuts with powdered sugar reminded me of a beignet toast. The noodles had great texture, thick and chewy, although the sauce was a bit creamy for my preferences. The dumplings and pork wontons were meh, not too flavorful nor delicate.Great outdoor seating although it can get chilly without a heat lamp.
