    First off it took a whole hour for our appetizers to get to us . Then when the chicken arrived it tasted as if they cooked something else in the same grease because it did not taste like chicken.. then another hour later food comes out and it’s not even hot .. the garlic noodles are way too sweet . Just an all around bad experience and I been wanting to try this for years . Very disappointed and won’t never be back .. if u really want good food id suggest chef kb in Vallejo.

    Our experience at Smelly’ was on point. The food was as advertised plentiful, favorable, and delicious. The atmosphere was Town approved. The only knock is the wait time for food but honestly it was that bad because what we ordered was worth the wait! Smelly’ is a must experience if you are in Oakland!

    It was a great experience dining here. If there has to be a downside it would be the wait for the food. However, before we even sat down the hostess let us know they were incurring longer wait times for food. And when we did finally receive it the food was absolutely worth the wait.

    The food is very tasty. However, the wait time from placing your order to having your food delivered is to long for me.

    Food was good but overall the service could’ve been better. Took like 2 hours for our food to come out.

    The ambience was way over the top for me. It was crowded and noisy. I couldn't hear anything my date was saying. We kept having to speak louder which was irritating to say the least. The seating was too close together for me. We're were literally sitting on top of each other. I was ready to leave as soon as I walked in but he suggested we go to our table. We were seated about five minutes and it was just too much for me so we decided to leave. What I love though is we told the greeter why we were leaving and she offered to seat us somewhere else. The effort was much appreciated. Maybe next time I'll try ordering something to go.

    Service was awful. We had a reservation but were seated as if we didn’t have one. It took awhile to be greeted by our waiter and then when he finally came he was rushing and said he would be back to take our order and again it took him awhile to come back. After ordering it took an hour to get our food. Not acceptable.
