Best Sandwiches in Oakland, Berkeley, and the East Bay - Eater SF

"At star sushi chef Masa Sasaki’s casual Japanese-leaning burger joint, the headliner of the menu is a crispy, katsu-style tuna belly burger that might be the Bay Area’s most luxurious fried fish sandwich. Just as enjoyable, though, is Masabaga’s take on yakisoba pan, the noodle sandwich that is a staple of Japanese convenience stores. Sasaki’s version of this carb-on-carb classic features stir-fried noodles and grilled pork belly tossed in tangy-sweet yakisoba sauce, half a hot dog, Sriracha mayo, and a scattering of scallions and sesame seeds — all served on a nicely toasted hot dog bun. It’s a full-on meal." - Luke Tsai
