This cozy Korean pub offers a vibrant backyard vibe with incredible, juicy fried chicken, a solid beer selection, and a welcoming staff ready to serve.
"Popular Korean pub OB Town offers several varieties of crunchy Korean fried chicken that will leave you with sticky fingers. For a change of pace, try the grilled wings, which are served under a blanket of gochujang-laced hot sauce." - Janelle Bitker, Luke Tsai
"While some of the draw of this local favorite near the Oakland-Berkeley border can’t be replicated — the giant pitchers of Hite with a huge group of friends while K-Pop blares in the background — you can still get OB Chicken Town’s reliably good fried chicken to go. They are even still selling their buldak with cheese, which if you can get to it quick enough after ordering still has that alluring stretchiness. You can also get pub food classics like jokbal, which is marinated pork hock, to go. Call in or place your order online." - Noah Cho
"Formerly known as the “Oriental BBQ Chicken Town,” this unassuming restaurant on Telegraph yields a hidden trove of crispy double-fried Korean fried chicken, available in various permutations — say, a sticky-sweet soy-garlic flavor or another that’s slathered with a fiery gochujang-based sauce. Even during the shelter in place, OB is open late. Call in or order online for takeout or delivery." - Luke Tsai, Ellen Fort
