"This Wallingford Japanese grilled meat specialist has one of the last remaining oyster happy hours selling the bivalves for less than $2 a pop. From 4:30 to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, oysters go for $1.75, marinated seafood cost $5, and the $6 drink menu includes draft beer, sake, and cocktails such as the Japanese 75 with yuzu." - Harry Cheadle

"I note that Wallingford’s Kokkaku is cited as about the only place still selling oysters for under $2 these days, a rare remnant of the city’s bivalve bargain era." - Naomi Tomky
"This relaxed Japanese steakhouse in Wallingford is one of the more underrated meat purveyors in the city, with an emphasis on whole-animal butchery. The menu specializes in premium cuts, although the prices aren’t too outrageous." - Megan Hill
"Even when Herrick left the restaurant for stints at spots like... Japanese steakhouse Kokkaku (where he got a shout-out for his work from former Seattle Times food critic Providence Cicero, making one of her favorite 25 bites in Seattle in 2017), Moore would regularly call to check in on him, sometimes even calling his mom to make sure he was doing okay." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart
