Bay area (Oakland/East bay)
Ikaros
Mediterranean restaurant · Santa Fe
Greek food, first place I've had saganaki (pan seared flaming cheese appetizer). Nice place to come after walking around the lake.
Monkey King at the Brewery
Brewpub · Downtown
Fun food / snacks to pair with drinking (I think fries/wings with asian flavors, it's been a while)
Cocobreeze Caribbean Restaurant and Bakery
Caribbean restaurant · Fairfax
Caribbean food - doubles, roti, etc are all amazing.
Miss Ollie's
Permanently Closed
Caribbean food (jerk chicken is amazing)
Faction Brewing
Brewery · Alameda Point
Solid beer with amazing vibes (at the old naval base, with views of SF).
Hancook
Permanently Closed
This place has great Korean hotpot and stews (favorite budae jigae in the Bay Area)
Huangcheng Noodle House
Chinese noodle restaurant · Old City
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)
Cheese Board Pizza
Pizza restaurant · North
Good pizza, long lines
Tastee Steam Kitchen
Hot pot restaurant · Chinatown
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.
