The Lone Crow

"Stopped by originally thinking this was the building for BirdHaus but it was the restaurant instead and was pleasantly surprised. I got the Sisig Chop Cheese and a Musubi. To say the least it was tasty! I'd definitely stop by again to try some of their other items and of course to grab a beer at Birdhaus. The beer selection was nice and varied. Worth a visit!"

"Delicious food, the menu was relatively small but a lot of stuff sounded good, and I appreciated that there were both appetizers/sides and entrees and vegan options too, so it felt like everyone could get just what they wanted. They have some classic offerings but it felt like each item had a little twist to it--for example, the loco moco had adobo style gravy and came with pickles, and the chili fries had furikake. All was super tasty! Drinks were just bottled water and soda cans. The wait time felt a bit long but it was fine for friends coming to spend time and chat. It was a cute small spot! I love the vibe in there, mom and pop type of decor with a clear Hawaiian/Filipino vibe. When I first came in (early evening on a Saturday) there was a bit of a line and not a lot of space for people to stand around, they could probably use more space! They only have two tables inside but there's some outdoor seating, it was just a cold day. Thankfully my friends and I were able to spend some quality time there and the staff were nice and helpful too."

"Got the spicy crab fries. Pretty tasty and love all the ingredients! I sat out back and it was pretty empty on a Thursday around noon. It was really nice enjoying the sun during lunch. Really lovely outdoor spot with games, nice benches, chill music and decor. Good place for a work meeting/lunch, date, large group gathering, team happy hour or even to work out of if it’s not too busy. Wonderful space in union city. Hope it stays around awhile! I feel like you only find these spaces in SF/oakland/San Jose where all the tech workers live."

"Union City’s best kept secret. One of my favorite vegan meals in the entire bay. Here’s what you do. Order the braised taro leaf dish, head around the corner to birdhaus and order any hazy ipa from Alvarado street brewing. Eat, drink…you know the rest. You’re welcome."
