Dishes
- Donabe-Baked Scallion Rice with Chanterelles and Local Miso — Donabe-baked scallion rice finished with seasonal chanterelles dressed in miso from a small-batch, local Oakland producer. A bowl of extraordinary depth and textural contrast — a tribute to Northern California's foraging and craft fermentation culture.
- Raw Japanese Sea Bream with Aged Soy, Fermented Plum and Mustard — Thin slices of raw Japanese sea bream dressed with aged soy sauce, fermented plum and mustard — Thai and Chinese heritage filtered through a Californian lens. Chef Syhabout's elegant ode to familiar flavors rendered with precision.
- Slow-Poached Egg Yolk in Onion and Malt-Infused Cream — Commis's signature: a single slow-poached egg yolk sitting in a bed of onion- and malt-infused cream. Consistently thrilling — one of Oakland's most celebrated dishes and a through-line of the restaurant since Chef Syhabout opened.
