    Call me crazy, but I was on BART watching IG reels to kill time and this place pops up on my feed showcasing the Sisig Sandwich. I looked at the location and it's a block away from MacArthur BART station. I glanced at my watch and the place was still open and I immediately get off the station (since it was my day off, which is on a Monday) and walked briskly to this joint. They are still very busy with several people in front of me. I get to the front of the line and ordered the Sisig Sandwich. The lady at the counter pauses, and said: "Hold on, let me see if we still have any." I held my breath and finally had a sigh of relief when she mentioned that I was ordering the last Sisig Sandwich of the day. She was also very pleasant and we had a nice conversation about said Sisig. It's legit because they make all the ingredients straight from the head of the pig, which is the original Sisig invented in the Philippines. I guess it was meant to be. While waiting, I noticed they also served chips, particularly Asian chips that I haven't seen before. The place is bustling with people coming and going, while some are eating their sammiches outside. When I received my order, I couldn't wait to bite into, but first I had to admire it when I finally unwrapped her. It was just as advertised and you can see the cartilage on the pig ears chopped and minced to bite sized pieces. One bite and confirmed it's the real deal. The essence and components of a real Sisig are all present. This isn't an Americanized or tamed version to mask what is often considered as "nasty" parts by the Western world. To the rest of world that eats the "nasty" parts of an animal, this is normal. It's in its raw, natural form served proudly; packed full of flavors and textures. A delicious and delightful combination of meat, fat, collagen, cartilage and seasoning. Also the best part of the pig's head is the cheek meat. Nothing is hidden, substituted or compromised. Definitely got my head and shoulders stamp of approval.

    Sichuan hot chicken

    Came here for a quick to-go lunch after walking around the Oakland White Elephant sale a few miles away. Was told having one of these sandwiches (esp. the sisig bolilo) is life-changing. Too bad OK's Deli was out by the time we got it, so my life was not changed lol [[HIGHLIGHT]]OK's Deli is a small shop with no indoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They do offer online ordering, something we probably should have done to lock down the sisig bolilo sandwich! We ended up ordering: House banh mi - meaty with lots of pate. The bread was a little too rustic for me and wished it was softer. Sichuan hot chicken - I loved the sesame bun and all the flavors of the chicken (juicy, perfectly spicy), slaw (tangy) combined. Price is a bit steep but everything is stated to be local and/or made in-house. Will need to return and experience this sisig sandwich, mang!!

    Stopped by on a weekend post hike for sandwiches. There isn't a lot of parking, but we were lucky and got parking a few blocks away. The line to order went by pretty fast, and it took around 15 minutes for our sandwiches. They're not bad at all! I would come back and try other sandwiches as well. We ended up taking it a brewery nearby to enjoy.

    House Turkey Breast & Salami $18

    First time here I ordered on line and that process is super easy. I definitely recommend ordering on line as I was notified my order would be ready in 35 minutes. Parking is kinda hard to come by, no private paring lot, street parking only. I ordered two sandwiches, the House Turkey Breast & Salami $18 and the Konbini Egg Salad $14, friend and I shared the sandwiches Sandwiches are HUGE (so glad I shared) The focaccia bread on the turkey/salami sandwich is sooo very good!! All ingredients are fresh, Sandwiches are very tasty Glad I stopped by here!!

    They're not skimping on protein at all! Huge portions and love the variety of Asian sandwiches they have. Got them delivered via DoorDash and the sisig sandwich was still warm. Definitely would order from them again! Only disappointing thing was the banh mi didn't automatically come with pate traditionally but you can add it for $2.

    Hot Coppa & Fresh Mozzarella
    Rachel K.

    I was so excited to try this spot after some coworkers told me about their delicious sandwiches. Italian sandwiches are my favorite so I was excited when I saw a few options on the menu that really called to me. Their menu really does cater to a lot of tastes with sandwiches like hot chicken, banh mi, Katsu, falafel, and Italian and deli options. You'll want to check the menu the day of as it seems the menu does change and some items can sell out. I ended up trying the hot coppa & fresh mozzarella sandwich ($20) that had hot coppa, fresh mozzarella, arugula, shaved red onions, pepperoncini, house red pesto, and house vin on a rustic hoagie. This sandwich was beautiful and the flavor was just what I wanted it to be- a great mix of fatty, spicy, fresh and tangy. The house red pesto was a great touch. I will say this sandwich is best enjoyed fresh- I ate half the day I got it and half the next day and the lettuce was less fluffy the next day which changed the texture. This didn't detract from my experience- it just means If encourage you to indulge and enjoy it right away or share with a friend to enjoy it at peak flavor. Parking was a little rough- it's street parking in the area and the street it's on can be pretty busy. Also, I'd encourage you to stop by early in the day so you have the most options available.

    Came by to pick up some lunch. Sandwiches were ordered ahead of time and were ready about 7 min after arriving. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really clean and organized space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - ebi katsu ($19) - described as creamy white shrimp patty, thinly shaved cabbage, house tartar sauce, sesame seed brioche bun. I was really impressed by the shrimp patty. It was dense and thick with different textures of shrimp inside, both minced and chunks. - chicken caesar wrap ($17) - described as house roasted whole chicken, house caesar dressing, romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce, tomato, house croutons, grana padano, lavash. I'm not understanding the chicken caesar wrap craze I've ben seeing online. This wrap was tasty but I did think the choice of lavash made it a bit dryer than my personal preference. Really great sandwiches. Would get the ebi again but might pass on the chicken caesar. Next on my list is the sichuan hot chicken.

    Sichuan chicken.

    Ok's Deli has been on my "to try " list for awhile, and I finally got around to checking them out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon entry, you'll see that the space is a relatively simple operation with the kitchen in plain view and a small waiting/dining area in the front[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is definitely a place where you grab a sandwich to go rather than sitting down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ended up going with the Sichuan Hot Chicken sandwich which came with an ample amount of tasty fried chicken. While I initially asked for the hot, the cashier said it was closer to an 8/10 spice level so I decided to be cautious and go with their mild (4/10 spice). In terms of spice level, I wish there was something in the middle. Still, the sandwich was well seasoned and very flavorful. I also LOVED the sesame bun which was a unique touch for an otherwise very good sandwich. I hope to return some day and try a few more of Ok's sandwich offerings. Give this spot a try if you're looking for a great sandwich on the go.

    House Ramen Spiced French Fries
    Ted R.

    I'm so confused. Why do they call it OK? It's f'ing fabulous! (They say Ok's is pronounced Oak's, but it makes you wonder if there's some kind of weird copyright issue to spelling it the way you pronounce it.) I had an amazing Shichuan Hot Chicken sandwich. I requested medium heat. The cashier accurately described it as 4 on a 10-point heat scale. It's not just spicy hot, but also spicy in terms of a lip smackingly good mix of spices that bring that bring a symphony of heat. It's like they went to the Oaktown Spice Shop and got the perfect one dozen spices for a harmonious blend. I also got the House Ramen Spiced French Fries which were excellent. Again, a very harmonious mix of spices coating, perfectly prepared fries, Absolutely amazing. I got a Mexican Coke, which went with the sandwich and fries perfectly, sweet acid breaking down the heat. There were about three people ahead of me in line. After I ordered it was pretty much exactly 15 minutes until my food was ready. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a few chairs spread outside and I think one table inside and one table out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think Ok's is a good value. They don't cheat you on the portion in the name of gourmet ingredients. Everything is well prepared and amazing. I can't get over it. Where have I been? I think I was deterred by the long lines when this place first opened. Now I need to figure out how to be a regular. Ok's has got a self esteem issue. It's definitely better than OK. And if it wants to be Oak's, it should be Oak's. If there's another Oak's deli somewhere, this one is better. Heck, if they're 100 Oak's delis, I'm pretty sure this one is number one.

    Sichuan Hot Chicken
    Sirina L.

    We tried the sichuan hot chicken sandwich and it was good but not the best. The flavor was good, has a good kick to it. The sesame bun was okay. Didn't add much and wasn't outstanding. The lettuce also was just filler, something that's pickled would have been amazing and would cut through the spice better. For what it is it's a bit steep in terms of the price. But still a good sandwich, but won't come often because it's not that cheap. The nori fries was a pass for it. No seaweed flavor at all. But it was nice and crispy, it's tasted like it was double fried if you like that. Parking could be hard, only street parking and there's not a lot of street parking. We just got lucky and there was an empty spot right when we go there on a Sunday lunch time.

    Konbini Egg Salad
    Jenny N.

    Friendly service and delicious sandwiches! Easy to order online and pickup~ I finally got the chance to try it out- got some banh mi to go for a roadtrip and got some for friends. Can't wait to see what other sandwiches make it to their rotation next! I also tried their konbini egg sando- I think my personal preference is to have the crusts cut off as the texture was too thick for the soft egg mixture and whites of the bread. Just an fyi if yall don't like crust~ [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a few tables and chairs outside for waiting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking - can be metered parking but there are a few neighborhood street and free parking around- esp across the street by the newer apartment buildings.

    Salami & Provolone
    Kathleen W.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]We cane during peak lunch hour and regardless of what time we have come here, ghey are quite busy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the salami and provolone and chicken parmesan. The salami and provolone were fresh and the horseradish was super strong. I ended up eating all the meats off of it very quickly. The chicken parmesan tasted amazing and was even better after you dip it into some tomato sauce. The melted cheese with the meaty chicken were very easy to eat. Overall, from my last visit, the crab sandwiches are the most delicious.

    Chicken Caesar Wrap
    Daniela S.

    For three Saturday's in a row, I've been stopping by because I want to try every sandwich on the menu... The chicken Cesar wrap is 10/10, so is the hot chicken sandwich, and that Turkey sandwich -- I ate it and left no crumbs. I like to walk up and order because I like to listen in on what other people order, but you can order online ahead of time because it does tend to get a little crowded at certain times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a cute outdoor seating area, and I don't know, there's just something about OK's that makes me feel like I'm right at home (with my tias cooking in the kitchen while I watch)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I have been super excited to try hawking bird, and it did not disappoint. We got the satay chicken salad, curry fried chicken rice bowl, pickles, and the calamansi soda. Satay chicken salad -- very fresh and flavorful. the grilled chicken was very well marinated, and had lots of flavor. It came with a vinaigrette and a yummy peanut dipping sauce on the side. We thought it could use a little more greens, as the portion felt somewhat small. Curry fried chicken bowl -- this was our favorite thing that we got! The curry was flavorful and there was the perfect amount of it over the chicken and rice. There was a healthy portion of fried chicken and rice, which we appreciated. The chicken itself was super crispy and yummy. All of the components went very well together, and we really loved this one! Pickles -- this was just okay to me. the pickled vegetables consisted of assorted veggies including green beans, peppers, and cabbage. The veggies had a slight sweetness to them, but also were spicy! Not my favorite, but still pretty good. Calamansi soda -- honorable mention because I love calamansi and was so excited to see that they had this as an option! If you are a calamansi lover, you definitely enjoy this. it was crisp, refreshing, and had an authentic calamansi flavor. I'd definitely get it again! Overall, we really enjoyed our meal! We thought that the portions were the perfect size for sharing, which we loved. Next time, I'd definitely get the curry rice bowl again because it was so good! The decor was super cute, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you are craving a chicken dish, we recommend you check this place out!

    Came here on Saturday evening around 7pm ish, party of 6. It was walking distance from an escape…read moreroom near 19th street so we stumbled upon it from convenience. We all split all the specialty cocktails and I got the Khao Pad Kang Kiew (rice with eggplant and chicken topped with a fried egg). Dishes are $20-23 ish each. We were seated at the 6 person table in the back of the restaurant near the bathroom. My favorite drinks were their take on a hard thai iced tea, the lavender mojito, a take on an espresso martini. There was also this spicy drink that had thai chilis in it that is VERY spicy lol. Pros: - the rice dish was DELICIOUS and also huge haha. Came with cucumbers to cut the peppery flavor if needed. - All the cocktails were pretty different and it was fun to try all of them. They were all beautiful to look at and tasty (lots of coconut and Thai inspiration). - Service was pretty good - Has "typical" thai dishes like pad thai and pad see ew, and also more rare ones that are hard to find - Close to many bars and other establishments, so perfect if you want to eat here as a first, second, or third location of your outing haha Cons: - The air flow in the back wasn't amazing so I did feel like it got stuffy/hot - Parking can be tough in this area so I recommend BARTing Another reason to love Oakland!

Unfortunately it was too spicy for my liking and some of the white rice was burnt from the being at the bottom of the pot. There was only 8 eggplant pieces in the entire dish and surprisingly a lot more chicken. So depending on your preference this may be a good thing! I was really craving the sweet, earthy flavor of eggplant so while lots of protein was greatly appreciated I did wish there was more eggplant in the dish. Either way it was a good portion of food so they don't skimp here for sure! The service was friendly and super attentive the moment you walk in. I'd be willing to try another non spicy dish here.

Between the four of us, we shared a variety of dishes, including their Champa Wings, Nam Kaow, Lao Sausages, Yum Nom Tok, Champa's Fried Rice and Pad Thai. Of these dishes, my favorite was easily the Nam Kaow. This dish had so many layers of flavors and textures. I could honestly eat a whole plate of this myself and be satisfied. Every grain of crispy rice was fried to perfection and there was a wonderful sour and spicy tang throughout each bite. The other dish I really enjoyed was the Lao sausages. These sausages are packed with so many different herbs and spices. The lemongrass flavor was especially prominent. Like the Nam Kaow, this dish also went really well with the fresh mint and lettuce that's provided on the table. There's a good reason why this unassuming Thai and Lao neighborhood restaurant has a line out the door: the food is absolutely delicious. Definitely one of my favorite meals I've had in 2026 -- I can't wait to stop by again.
