Bacogai

Hot pot restaurant · Alameda

"When you want to spend an hour or two getting a steam facial from a bowl of bubbling broth, go to Bacogai. The Vietnamese hot pot place is one of the more exciting spots in the Bridgeside Shopping Center (no offense to the Nob Hill car wash or the longstanding Baskin-Robbins), and it has cemented itself as the go-to for a midweek date night or relaxed dinner with visiting relatives. There are soups with tender oxtail or shrimp, but the one that reigns supreme is the pork bone marrow broth—it’s rich, umami-laden, and nearly impossible not to finish. The bánh hỏi with grilled lemongrass pork is another must-order." - Julia Chen
