Ruth's Buka - Oakland

Amazing food. Brought some Yoruba Nigerian friends with me to try and they co-signed the authenticity of the food

I just love the food. Today was my birthday and I treated myself right after work. When I tell you nothing was left on that plate I mean nothing at all. I highly recommend. The best Egusi and Jollof rice you'll ever have. It's addicting.

Definitely has an authentic Nigerian feel to the place. Food was delicious!

I always come to this restaurant because they have the best plantains with a perfect taste and texture. They are very juicy. The fufu and soup are also delicious.

Ok so. I’ve been here probably about 3 times… and I can say that the food is pretty good. For my first time trying it someone else brought me here and I wasn’t sure if I was gonna like it. But the food was actually great! Meat kinda tough but it was good for my first time. I recently ordered over DoorDash tho. And I wasn’t happy with the order today. My bowl looked like it was barely anything in in. The meat was super tough. The back of my teeth were starting to hurt from how tough the meat was. I had at least 1 soft piece and that was about it. But the portion was very small and it was cold. Not sure what had happened but I was surprised only because I didn’t have that small of a portion before. I understand people might go there a lot but it was seriously like feeding a toddler. And for 25 bucks you’d except something different just saying.
