Sir Mike-a-Lot has 2.5 big ones for Oakland sleeper Lin Jia Asian Kitchen: "Just about every dish tells a story, and for the most part, as reflected in the food, it's compelling." The owners, "the Lams are also grounded in the 21st century, using organic sustainable products such as Mary's free-range chicken." Bauer calls the menu "easy to navigate," the service "very personal," and the Lin Jia chicken—which must be ordered a day ahead—is "the star of my three visits." The final word of advice is to "go with the dishes that are endorsed by the family in the descriptions on the menu. You'll come away happy..." [Chron]
