The Hit List: New East Bay Restaurants To Try Right Now - San Francisco - The Infatuation
"Fans of Ok’s Deli should beeline to Oken, a Rockridge restaurant that nails playful Korean and Japanese dishes. The cat-themed dining room sets the stage for the ideal date over Sichuan popcorn chicken, or a midweek group catch-up over silky scallion omelettes, kalbi ssam, and zingy albacore tataki. The best bite of the night, though, is the yukhwe onigiri. It’s a golden-brown fried rice ball topped off with an umami bomb of beef tartare. You’ll want one all to yourself." - julia chen 1, lani conway
