"Y’s Choice is a takeout-focused spot near Jack London Square that has two things going for it: Solid soul food and huge portions. The fried catfish and garlic noodles combo comes with two forearm-sized filets and the fried shrimp po’boy (served with seasoned fries) requires a halftime intermission to finish. Be sure to check out the daily special menu for dishes that typically sell out like the gumbo and oxtail soup, and raid the table near the register for hot sauce and fruit-infused water." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
