Be prepared for a wait, but it's worth it.
As a goodbye/love note to Oakland, I'm leaving reviews for all my favorites. Joodooboo is my #1 for lunch. It's unpretentious, delicious, nourishing -- the place I'd go to on my own AND the place I'd take friends from out of town. I still crave the Fried Dooboo Set. Many thanks to Steve and Sarah and Akari and everyone else who ever served me.
Hidden gem for tofu lovers.
Acorn noodles are too good to miss.
