Created for Epik High's 2022 NA tour, but also selfishly for myself. I found. a ton of spots to check out in this list https://sf.eater.com/maps/best-restaurants-oakland-berkeley-east-bay
Amazing casual noodle place in Swans marketplace, and all the other vendors there are great too (Caribbean food at miss Ollie’s, Japanese curry at Kuro, forgetting the other spots)
This place is a little out of control and has way too many food formats (table side steamed foods, grilled Chinese meats, seafood boil, hotpot, sushi?!?). But the first three were fire so would recommend. The choose your own food to steam concept was really cool - hadn’t seen that before.
