Okan Diner
5430 Clairemont Mesa Blvd G, San Diego, CA
Okan Diner offers a menu similar to, but larger than, sister restaurant Wa Dining Okan. They serve a wide range of Japanese dishes, including yakitori, udon, ramen, sushi, and kemameshi (kettle rice), which takes 20 minutes to prepare. The rice cooks with broth inside the kama (kettle), yielding a flavored, single pot rice dish topped with meat, fish, and/or vegetables.
At around $15 apiece, Okan serves a varied assortment of kamameshi. One features salmon and salmon roe, another has chicken, mushrooms and quail egg, one is made with tonkotsu ramen broth and features kakuni pork belly and poached egg, and there's also sukiyaki beef flavored with gobo root and pickled ginger.
