Chinese Restaurant

Filipino Restaurant

This Chinatown breakfast and lunch counter serves “organic bicycle-pedaled roasted coffee” and Sri Lankan homemade Chai tea. There’s also an array of tropical smoothies, and a lunch menu full of Caribbean and Sri Lankan flavors that rotates daily and often sells out. (You can order a day in advance.) The muffins and breads all come from Semifreddi’s bakery. Prices are very reasonable, seating is limited, and catering options are available.

Aburaya keeps it loud and flavorful with Japanese fried chicken done right. This punk rock-inspired spot serves up crispy kara-age and creative izakaya bites, all made fresh in-house. With bold flavors, house-made sauces, and a fully gluten-free kitchen, it’s the perfect place to grab a bite, sip some sake, and soak in the good vibes.

Its trendiness means that you’ll quite likely wait for a table. And once you get inside, this restaurant’s coolly dark design — black bar, black ceiling, black-and-concrete floor — is all hard surfaces, with no softness to absorb sound, so sometimes you can hardly hear yourself talking. But. Burma Superstar sells ravishingly lovely food comprising wholesome, often delightfully startling ingredients in whopping two-could-share-one-entrée portions, flaunting hypnotic addictive flavors and bold textures that are revolutionarily unlike anything that most of us have tried before. (Because Burma borders on India, Thailand, and China, its cuisine combines all three.) Tea-leaf salad, Burma Superstar’s signature dish, comprises peanuts, hot green pepper shards, fried chickpeas, fried garlic, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, tomato, lettuce, and a mossy mountain of fermented tea leaves — actually gathered in Myanmar — that swathe the salty, snappy melange in sleek, almost-fishy pickliness. Another version of nirvana is the vegetarian sumusa soup: thick, curry-yellow, and stuffed with soft fried doughy pouches stuffed in turn with spicy vegetables.

Stacy Tang has brought a bit of bian dang (Taiwanese lunch box) culture to the heart of Uptown Oakland, where there aren’t many places you can grab a quick, filling lunch for about $10. Taiwan Bento aims to fill that niche. Lunch box options include braised pork (diced pork belly and ground pork cooked slowly until they form a rich, gelatinous meat sauce) and sesame-oil-marinated roasted chicken thighs, both served with Taiwanese “kimchi,” edamame, a tea egg, and plenty of white rice. Noodle lovers can go for a hearty bowl of Taiwanese beef noodle soup or zhajiangmian — Taiwan’s answer to Italian bolognese. Wash it all down with the caramel-y house-made winter melon drink.

This funky, thatched-roof restaurant, which looks like a cross between a beachside hut and a 1950s diner, offers rustic, forthright food that’s far more appealing than the sugar- and coconut-drowned fare you’ll find at most Thai restaurants. Mix and match your favorite meats, veggies, and sauces from the menu, or order off the specials board.

Asha Tea House is a rare hybrid: a serious teahouse where fruity boba drinks and fine Chinese teas are prepared with the same attention to detail. Owner David Lau aims to bring Asian tea culture — high-, low-, and middlebrow — to a wider American audience. Pick any drink and you’ll notice the difference: A standard pearl milk tea features organic Assam black tea and hormone-free milk; the chewy tapioca pearls are nearly indistinguishable from the ones sold by the best boba hawkers in Taiwan. Fruit-flavored drinks, like the refreshing Fuji apple black tea, have house-made seasonal fruit purées as their base. Meanwhile, there’s an excellent selection of higher-end loose-leaf teas, all served in a traditional lidded bowl called a gaiwan.
