"We usually come to Cafe Okawari to chill with a book and a matcha latte and enjoy their relaxed space. The Japanese cafe in SoMa also draws us in with their incredible chicken katsu sandwich. The milk bread they use is so soft it’ll feel like you’re sinking your teeth into a cloud. And the golden-brown chicken thigh is even more tender than Love Actually. Order a side of potato croquettes and you have the perfect lunch." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
