Best Affordable Takeout Restaurants in Oakland, Berkeley, and the East Bay | Eater SF
"This scrappy, no-frills neighborhood lunch spot has stayed open for takeout for the duration of the pandemic, continuing to serve its short menu of inexpensive rice plates made with fresh ingredients and a whole lot of skill with the wok. Ben’s is probably best known for its Wednesday-only fried chicken special, which has a major cult following. But the real standout is the shrimp over egg (or its variant, the “David Special” — if you know, you know), which — like everything on the menu — is made exponentially tastier by the restaurant’s absurdly delicious house-made black bean hot sauce. Call in or walk up to order." - Luke Tsai
