Bay area (Oakland/East bay)

9 Places

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

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

Korean restaurant · Temescal

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

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.
