If I like Plum in Oakland, another place to try...

[dimsumfan]

I'll be passing through Oakland mid-week for a day, with a chance to eat lunch and/or a late-night (10pm or later) dinner.

Any other places to recommend?

I might hit Plum again, but looking for other great experiences like that. Note that I like innovative cuisine, but I also love interesting ethnic food, and can go from hole-in-the-wall on up. Eating solo, so not looking for anything too fancy or expensive - and bonus points if there's a chef's counter.

Hawker Fare. But they aren't open late.

Thanks. I enjoyed a nice meal at Hawker Fare. Pork belly was delicious, and even the rice was well done.

Thanks. Wood Tavern looks fairly interesting. Looking forward to any other ideas, too.

Maybe Wood Tavern for lunch.

Some Ethiopian, Korean, and Chinese places are open late on weeknights. Adesso's open until midnight. Spices!3 until 11.

Not at Thursday? A few more places are open later that night.
