"This sandwich shop by Albert Ok is not your average spot, offering sandwiches with an Asian American flair and most ingredients made in-house. The deli’s Sichuan-spiced fried chicken sandwich is a fan favorite, served on a sesame bun, with specials rotating in throughout the year, such as an indulgent Dungeness crab katsu sandwich. Top off your order with some chips from the curated snack section, and you’re well on your way to a flavorful lunch at home or in a park if you can make it back to your destination without eating every bite." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
"Ok’s Deli offers a new Dungeness crab katsu sandwich featuring a patty made with over a third of a pound of crab, bound with bechamel and coated in panko breadcrumbs. The sandwich is topped with housemade tartar sauce, dill pickle, chives, lemon, black pepper, and thinly shaved cabbage, all between a sesame bun. Despite a $26 price tag, the sandwich is considered a great deal given the high-quality ingredients." - Lauren Saria
"The team from Ok’s Deli, chef Albert Ok’s testament to Sichuan hot chicken sandwiches, is showing out at Elaine Chau’s Sunday Bakehouse. Per an Instagram post, fans can find the collab on June 23 at 11 a.m. when Ok will take over the bakery’s menu for the day." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Congrats to East Bay diners: OK’s Deli is now offering online ordering on Thursdays and Fridays so you can snag your highly Instagrammable, super-stacked sandwiches for pick-up." - Lauren Saria
"Asian American sandwiches are the name of the game at Ok’s Deli—and why it’s one of the most exciting lunch spots in the area. The takeout-only Oakland sandwich shop has a rotating menu of things like Italian combos and roast turkey sandwiches alongside ones filled with egg salad and spam. You’ll audibly gasp when you open the box containing the stunning Sichuan-spiced fried chicken sandwich with its huge juicy thigh, and swath of sweet sesame-ginger vinaigrette and honey mustard. Their equally stunning (and delicious) Vietnamese bánh mì is loaded with caramelized house spam, jalapeños, cilantro, cucumbers, and pickled daikon and carrots on an airy baguette. Sandwiches aside, their shelves are stocked with every type of fizzy drink, citrus juice, and potato chip imaginable. So grab some sweet corn Turtle Chips and a calamansi soda, and relish in the fact that you’ve made a very good midday decision." - Julia Chen
