"The East Bay has many izakaya-style Japanese restaurants, but Kiraku offers rollicking fun and food that’s consistently delightful and well executed. Must-order dishes include the corn tempura with green tea salt, the grilled whole squid, and the mini kaisen donburi or one of the other rice bowls to end the meal in the traditional Japanese way." - Dianne de Guzman
