MUA is known for its open atmosphere, eclectic décor, art events and, of course, its delicious food. Ideal for large parties or intimate gatherings, the spacious dining room creates a relaxed, casual vibe for guests to enjoy their meals. A large selection of wines, cocktails and beers make MUA a great spot for an evening out with friends. Family owned and run Mua was one of the first restaurants to open in what was then Auto Row in Oakland, in 2008. After their first 2 restaurants, Pastoral in Berkeley (first opened in 1982 while still students, 37 in the architecture program at Cal and San-Ju painting at SFAI) then later Soizic (Jack London Square, 1996), they wanted to shift gears from heavily curated menus to more comfort-based fare catering more to the eclectic and artistic community in Oakland. Today you’ll find people of all ages and backgrounds, from Too Short to Jerry Brown.

    Visited for the first time last night and had a wonderful time. We were running late for a pre-theatre dinner and the staff was terrific, getting us in and out as needed. We are veg heavy pescatarians and found plenty of delicious food to eat.

    We were visiting from Atlanta, and we made it a priority to patronage black owned businesses. After reading the reviews and seeing pics of the food, we were sold. My hubby was so excited he asked if we could move our reservation time up. It was definitely worth it. My hubby ordered the lobster fries and his only “complaint” was that he couldn’t finish it due to the portion size. My Dungeness crab with garlic noodles were perfect. The crab was seasoned well, but not too much to take away from the taste of the crab. I will visit every time I come back to Oakland!!

    Lovely environment, we felt welcomed and cared for. Appetizers were good, shishitos were flavorful and crunchy! The clam chowder was full of clams and fresh, fish and chips also hit the mark. Tuna salad was ok. We had a lovely birthday celebration and our server Jill made it even better. Positive attitude, knowledgeable about the menu and really great service! Thank you!

    This was a special occasion. My sister loves Ajanta, is from out of town and hadn’t visited in a while. We were welcomed graciously, given a table by the window and then served a wonderful meal. Truly memorable. Well done Ajanta.
