Berkeley has sent exactly one place into the record so far: Kaokao Grill, honored by San Francisco Chronicle.

Rank 1. Kaokao Grill
Barbecue
Cherry and oak wood smoke is the throughline at this Berkeley barbecue shop, where the char siu and the smoked chicken land somewhere between American pitmaster and Hong Kong roast house, with a detour through Indian curry along the way. The team behind Huangcheng Noodle House in Oakland built the concept around a father's love of American barbecue, and the collision of those three kitchens is less confused than it sounds.
