Food King, Oakland CA

Haven't been here since a kid with Grandma. I was pleasantly surprised to how neat, organized and clean it was inside. The produce was fresh and bright, grabbed greens for 1.99 a pound and turkey wings. Prices on some things weren't displayed but prices were fair especially on the meat. There's a DMV, check cashing, Western Union, candy area, other small business inside. Really conveniently located. The staff was friendly and helpful. Everyone had a positive vibe and was knowledgeable about items in the store. Honestly this is one of the best grocery store I've been to. I was apprehensive as we drove to it because neighboring streets appear shady although it was very clean inside and out of the store, no weird smells, or people hanging around. I would definitely shop here they also have boudin, gumbo, and other southern treats and spices. Try it and hit like if you enjoy you won't be disappointed.

It’s been it’s been around for decades, and the people are so loyal and got great customer service

It's pretty much the only store in east Oakland that's almost a supermarket. Prices are high but pretty much have anything you need.

You can't beat Food King. You can cash a check, get a money order, and proceed to grocery shopping under One roof

The first grocery store that I have ever entered with NO PRICING on the items for sale in the store! No shelf tags, no item stickers, and no signs. You have to ask the price on every item. And for good reason: items sold here can be triple the price of a traditional grocery store. The only way that people are shopping here is not wanting to know the price of items or not caring. A $1.29 item was $3.50 here. I think that they are the only grocery store in the area for miles.

Not in the best part of town, but this stabllishment looks like family owned. Relativity is clean and organized. It doesn't have that distant corporate feeling.

Got two crabs one was good the other one was bad. Watch out with them.matter of fact just stop coming here fr

Makes my experience at food King it's always well the people their owners everybody's really sweet the only problem I have is that the food is getting so expensive to the point where I can't even afford a gallon of milk on a good day.

It's remolded on the inside which makes it better I like the meat counter fresh everything crab crawfish Ribeyes are my favorite party wings mostly what I get
