   Quick review: Hamachi Spoon? Flavor bomb. Garlic noodles? Divine. Pork belly lettuce wraps? Sumptuous. Salt and pepper wings? Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and flavored to perfection. Miso Sea Bass? Eye rolling. I don’t live in the Bay Area, but when I’m there, you’ll find me at Saucy Oakland. What a gem!

   We were attracted by the oakland restaurant week menu. We weree glad we did. Like the menu, ingredients were fresh and tasty, even the beef just melt in your mounth. The unfortunate thins is the sauce and marinate was just overwhelming. I suggest this be reduced.

   I remember we have been here before. This is a nice restaurant with store front windows and nice ambiance. The staff was attentive. My husband (meat eater) loved the Broccolini. I found it a bit too oily. Wings were very crispy-still a bit of heat when asked for mild. Cod was good-portion small. Shaken beef was a little tough and again small portions. Entrees are in the $30 range-would be nice to be a little generous with portions.

   Saucy is a fun and delicious place to eat flavor-packed meals. It’s a small shop and the personality shines through from decor to food.

   This is our second visit to Saucy, and we are sad to say that it didn’t compare to our first. I hope this was just an off night. The staff is still friendly, but the ambiance and food need to be upgraded.

   Outstanding dinner, the food was out of this world. Especially recommend the wings and the wagyu.

   This is one of my favorite places to bring friends. The staff and chefs are so warm. The food never fails to fill us up and be delicious from start to finish. They take pride in their presentation and have an awesome selection of non-alcoholic beverages catering to me (4 months pregnant). Everything came out timely and we enjoyed newer dishes as they change the menu to keep things interesting. It always works. Always order with the medium saucy wings and an order of the hamachi spoons. A delight every time!

   We tried this place for the first time based on Open Table reviews, the menu and the photos of the food. To be fair, the food looked beautiful when it came out. The problem was it didn’t taste great at all. “Saucy” is a perfect name because the only flavor was in each sauce. We ordered popcorn shrimp which was overcooked and totally bland. The dipping sauce was basic. Chicken wings were very crispy and smothered in sauce. Sauce was too sweet and beyond the skin the chicken meat had no flavor. Garlic noodles were basic. Veggie dish was super basic and only flavor came from the thin (again sweet) sauce at the bottom of the bowl. None of the flavors were complex. Just super sweet and basic. Service was nice and attentive (although why does open table ask if you have a special occasion -in this case a birthday? It was never mentioned or acknowledged.) Music was great. Beautiful space. But we went there for food. We won’t be back.

    Great food! We had the pickled pineapple, garlic noodles, basil chicken and pumpkin tofu curry with beef. The curry was my favorite dish by far.
