D&A Cafe

337 8th St.
Oakland, CA 94607
510-839-6223
Oakland-Jack London Sq.

With its blazing white walls, ceiling grid of screw-in fluorescents, and never-ending throngs enduring the plastic rope line, this Chinatown diner has the charm of a DMV. But it's fast and supercheap, with scores of lunch- and tea-time bargains that leave you plenty of cash for the humongous bubble teas. Some of the Hong Kong short-order classics are good, some not. But with daytime prices well under five bucks a dish, you can afford a little exploration.

Hours: 7:00 a.m.-1:00 a.m. daily
