Be prepared to wait in line, or better yet, call for take-out. Geta sushi is hands down my favorite cheap sushi in town.

If you're looking for a romantic spot, this is it. Bay Wolf has been serving some of the best fine cuisine in Oakland since 1975. Monday nights they offer more affordable small plates and nibbles.
