The Best Sushi in Oakland, by the Record
Oakland has sent exactly one place into the record so far: Delage, honored by San Francisco Chronicle.
-
Rank 1. Delage
Omakase Japanese
A tiny counter next to Swan's Market in Old Oakland, Delage runs an omakase-only format that mixes high-quality nigiri with kaiseki-style courses built around whatever local produce is at its peak. The chef, Mikiko Ando, treats a summer tomato with the same care usually given to imported delicacies. Eight courses, two seatings a night, and reservations that require more foresight than most people expect from a casual-looking room.
