How ABURAYA become Oakland's favorite
ABURAYA started as a pop up in 2014 with the juicy fried chicken, cold beer, punk rock and no giving a shit. 12 years later, it's still the same but LOUDER!
Aburaya | Our Story
It Started With a Pop-Up
Aburaya started as a pop-up at The Hatch in downtown Oakland. The idea was simple: drink beer, fry chicken, have fun.
The Chicken Is the Thing
Naturally gluten-free tori no karaage, marinated in-house, with signature garlic miso dry dust. Still crispy an hour after pickup. No shortcuts.
Punk Rock Runs the Kitchen
Rock & roll on the speakers, izakaya warmth at the counter. Owner Adachi is usually there — and this place has always been exactly what it looks like.
Everybody Eats Here
Dedicated gluten-free kitchen. Vegan options, nut-free, soy-free. Every sauce and marinade made in-house. No one gets left out.
Oakland Proud, Still Growing
KQED, Eater, The Infatuation, Best of East Bay. Now open in Berkeley at Spat's — still the same love for Oakland and great chicken.
