Oakland: Chinatown Walking Tour
We'll visit some of the most popular eateries and landmarks in the Oakland Chinatown neighborhood - one of the oldest Chinatowns in the United States!
6 californian places in Oakland we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Oakland | Californian across every city.
California cuisine, built on local produce and a light hand, has a strong Oakland expression centered on the Piedmont Avenue and Temescal corridors. Commis on Piedmont Avenue is the most formal of the group, while Pomet nearby and Daytrip Counter in Temescal take a more casual, market-driven approach. Snail Bar on Shattuck Avenue and Teni East Kitchen on Broadway show how loosely the Californian label sits over wine-bar snacking and Burmese influence in the same neighborhoods.
