YONSEI HANDROLLS

Located across from the Fox Theater and directly next door to Itani Ramen, Yonsei Handrolls serves open-faced Japanese sushi handrolls made of crisp nori, seasoned sushi rice, and top-notch fish.

Sip on sake and Japanese-inspired cocktails, set to a soundtrack of 90s hip hop, and get lit by a neon sign that spells “Yonsei” in English and kanji characters — a nod to Chef Kyle Itani’s Japanese and American heritage.

Hopscotch
CATERING & Takeout

Kyle brought his passion for Japanese cuisine and culture to Uptown Oakland in 2012 when he opened his first restaurant, Hopscotch - a classic American diner with a Japanese twist. He was among Oakland’s early culinary pioneers who helped establish a destination restaurant scene and earned himself a San Francisco Chronicle Rising Star Chef Award and a spot on the Chronicle’s Top 100 Bay Area Restaurants list.

In June 2023 the restaurant closed and Hopscotch Catering & Takeout was born.

You can now enjoy Hopscotch classics as takeout any day of the week or have Chef Kyle Itani cater your next Bay Area event! Hopscotch Takeout is available every day for delivery or pickup at Itani Ramen - click here to learn more.

For events, Chef Kyle creates customized menus carrying on the beloved cuisine of Hopscotch. Check out their sample menus for your next event - a wedding, birthday bash, retirement party, bridal or baby shower, etc.
