Azit

Got it because it was open late. It wasn’t very good. Eatable but not enjoyable after I was no longer hungry. But service was fast and nice. And inside was clean and good atmosphere. Fine option if you’re starving at midnight but otherwise probs wouldn’t go here when there’s so many delicious Korean restaurants around

Missed my order for more than two times in a row. They have great recipes but horrible readers.

My go to meal from Azit: 1/2 order boneless chicken wings with Hot & Sweet sauce and a side of steamed rice. I have also had the Azit Fried Rice. The Food: AMAZING. I am from LA and frequent K-Fried Chicken joints all around Los Angeles (K-Town and beyond). This spot is up there with their fried chicken. Crispy large pieces. Perfectly seasoned… not too spicy not too sweet. Great quality. The recipe is beyond good and the cooks blow it out of the water! Their menu is very diverse in terms of street food. I just like to stick to what I know. When I am craving K-fried chicken this is my go to in the East Bay. Service: Attentive, respectful, doing a good job. Sat me quickly, took my order quickly. Food took a little bit but they were busy with online/to go orders. Checked on e while I was eating. Helped me wrap up after I was done. They were efficient and that’s all I ask for when working in the service industry. No one owes me their kindness, regardless of whether I am paying. They were cool. That’s it. Atmosphere: The art on the walls is great! Nice size when not too crowded. Can get really overwhelming when it is busy (duh). Lighting is club-y but fun. Now to the noise level… it is loud. But this has been my experience with most late night street food joints. It doesn’t bother me at all but if you have a sensory sensitivity get your food to go for sure. I like that there is K-pop playing in the restaurant and Bachata in the open kitchen. That’s how I know my food will be gooooood. And it’s for the culture! I took off 1 star from the category bc it really is not accessible for people with sensory sensitivities. Clean, no bad odors. A Note About the Neighborhood: it’s Oakland. It’s Temescal. It’s very hip and a cool area. It is very diverse ethnically. Like all of The Town, there is a car break-in issue and homelessness is dire. THIS DOES NOT MAKE IT A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD. As always, be aware of where you are. And don’t blame humans for systemic problems. Ok. Enough ranting. Highly recommend Azit! As far as I can tell… Azit is a great place to Eat!

Solid late night udon & Korean joint. Sketchy neighborhood but if it’s your only option you can’t go wrong.

Really fun place to hang out with friends! The food is great! Tasty, fun and comes in large portions!

Came here late at night, around 10pm on a Tuesday. We found it on Yelp and thought the spot is relatively new. There was only two other parties when we came in; however, when we left around 11:30, the place was packed and there was even a waitlist! Generally seemed to be couples and groups of friends although a group of students also came in with their laptops to study lol. We just parked outside on the street. The vibe is dark purple and red colors with Kdramas playing in the background. The service was good. We waited around 15 minutes for our food. We got a medium order of wings which can be divided into two flavors. Spicy wings: Not very spicy by my standards but there’s a kick that works well with the savory flavor. I’d recommend getting one fry rub and one saucy wing to balance each other out. This went along nicely with the cream cheese onion wings. Cream cheese onion wings: This is literally a liquidy cream cheese sauce with sliced onions on top. Some of the onion pieces were cooked through, while others were still spicy. Overall it was a flavor that wasn’t what we expected, but it worked. Tteokbokki with dumplings and cheese: Pretty tasty! Wish the sauce was thicker so it can stick to the rice cakes more. I do NOT recommend getting the dumplings. I expected to have a couple of crispy fried mandu on top of the dish, but it’s actually 3 soggy, tiny, broken, boiled dumplings hidden underneath the rest of the rice cakes. We actually called the server over because we couldn’t find them at first. Then he said the chef put three in… At basically $1 per dumpling, this was not worth it. We ended up with enough leftover food for 2.5 more meals. We ate it for lunch the next day. The size of the wings were larger than your average American wing, pretty normal for Korean wings. All in all, it is a decent addition to several pochas in Oakland.

The restaurant blared rap music with every other word being the N-word. It was AWFUL!! Next, an unhoused man came in a respectfully, quietly asked for a cup of hot water ..... for his ramen noodles and they turned him away. I will NEVER go back to this place again. They're insensitive on MANY, MANY levels!!!!!

Slow service, but the people were nice and the food good.
