Chef D By The Bay - Vallejo

After eagerly anticipating trying the delicious food I saw on Yelp, I called the restaurant multiple times but no one answered. I am unsure if the business is still operating.

I visited Chef D By The Bay while their food truck was serving at the Juneteenth Parade in Richmond. I ordered Shrimp, Fish, and Fries. Everything was served hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned! The fish and shrimp were crispy and the portion sizes were generous. I am excited to visit the restaurant to try more of their dishes and sides.

Wow! Great chicken! Try the oxtails! The owner was a perfect gentleman.

Soulful, tasteful, and simply filling! Chef D and his Wife truly provide an amazing experience. You can taste and see the spices/herbs. The catfish cornmeal breading was cooked/seasoned as if your southern grandmother deep fried it! The same compliment is authored for the chicken wings. The taste took me back to deep fried chicken served after church service! Lastly, those sides!! Packed with flavor, spoonful after spoonful! I shall return! Thank you!

The food at this restaurant was excellent! The shrimp po' boy was delicious, just like they make it down south. The shrimp were perfectly seasoned and not too heavily coated in batter. The flavor was also great on the red snapper, macaroni and cheese, and the sweet potatoes. The side dish portions were a bit small, but overall it was excellent and the bread on the po' boy was soft. It is a little expensive, but that's to be expected in the Bay Area. I highly recommend this place!
