Comfort Food Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

“My sister and I just had a couple of Cali Alley burgers delivery and these things are good! Next time I'm in Berkeley, I will definately order again.“

“Get it to go or take a ride share there. DO NOT PARK ANYWHERE near there. Every car got a busted window and stuff stolen the day we were there. Food was REALLY delicious!“

“I love Thayir Sadam. It’s an authentic South Indian comfort food that tastes so amazing, clean and fresh. The service was excellent and the owner was very friendly and helpful
Thank you for bringing this to our neighborhood
I will be back soon“

“Everything is so good here. Freshly made and delicious“

“Rather than pizzas we would call them quiches or tomato tarts. Choice of toppings and meals on site or to take away. It's very good, surprising in quantity and size, but it's worth a try. We take the rest home. To try, absolutely.

Kid-friendliness: Child-friendly establishment

Wheelchair accessibility: On the ground floor, easy access.“

“Good food and excellent service ! We will be back in our next trip to Berkeley for sure .“

“Lovely friendly Italian wine bar and delicious restaurant. Fresh innovative salads, pastas and main courses. Highly recommended.“

“I walked in with high hopes and with my group of friends. I walked out thinking the food was pretty good and the service was not great. Our server was gruff, condescending, and very inflexible when it came to splitting checks. The food was tasty and not as special as I was expecting. I'm not sure if I'll be going back.“

“Tummy comfort food in great post-industrial space. Friendly service, craft cocktails. Good menu options and specials. Outdoor tables also available.“

“The BEST soul food ive had since moving to The Bay Area. EVERY other place ive tried has been horrible, for real. So, when Kecia asked when i was coming i was very skeptical.
They absolutely crushed it! We had smothered porkchops, greens, and mac n cheese and Fish n Grits. Very well seasoned, greens were cooked like back home (Texas), mac n cheese was hot and cheesy, good cornbread, creamy and savory grits.

Oh and the drinks! Great selection!

Please understand when they name a drink BeastMode, there's meaning! ?“

“Wonderful food! Authentic. Kind staff!“

“First time having Chicago style deep dish pizza and it was so tasty. The sauce is so good.“

“Good people, good food, easy going place ... what's not to like about it?“

“Our dining experience at Bangkok Garden last evening was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted by the warm smiles of the staff. They promptly escorted us to our table, where our orders were taken and served with remarkable efficiency. Accompanied by our two young children, who were exceptionally well-catered to, we indulged in a variety of dishes. The grilled chicken satay and the fresh spring rolls were the stars of the evening. It's certain that we will be returning for another memorable meal. Bangkok Garden comes highly recommended!“

“I rate the Baltic Kiss five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We love the atmosphere and the music. The cocktail was memorable and the food is tasty and delicious. I had the Gumbo and the vegetables were fresh and cooked just right, not mushy. My group were very happy with their order. The homemade ice cream for dessert is fluffy and delicious. The sound of the music remarkably sounded so professional because the speakers were purchased from Yoshi’s when they decided to upgrade their sound system.“

“One of the best meals I have had in a long time.“

“Best diner food in the East Bay. Live music on second Friday of the month 6 to 8:30pm.“

“Love the service! Great night out!“

“Food was amazingggg !! Got the lechon sisig carbonara and rice bowl (added an egg on both) and they were 10/10!! Cozy spot with limited seating and cute artwork on the walls ?. Didn't see a bathroom while we were there but Whole Foods has a public bathroom and is within walking distance lol.“

“Back when they still had their location in Chinatown, this was the only place I’d buy Banh Mi sandwiches before they went mainstream. We’ve been their customer for almost 30 years.

Now that they only have this location open, we STILL only go here to buy Banh Mi sandwiches. It’s pretty much the best in Nor Cal.“

“Moved out of San Pablo for awhile, came back and I knew first thing I wanted to eat was the pad Thai, chicken satay and to finish it off a plate of mango w/ sticky rice and coconut milk with a glass of Thai ice tea. Was literally like $35. Pretty cheap for really great food I’ve seen worse prices lol
Also the owners/staff is always always great. Don’t listen to these people they’re not rude, I’ve been coming here since I was 12 years old I’m 24 now. Do I know their names? Nope. do they know me ? Nope. Just go already Jesus Christ. It’s delicious. Don’t get too spicy if you do good luck.“

“been coming here for years. good and drink are excellent and it's a great location for lunch and a visit to the SF MoMA

expect a line to the counter during rush hour. service folks are great but you order at a counter so the floor staff can get overwhelmed and tricky to flag down depending on where you sit.“

“Great food and music. Xxx.“

“Called in for takeout late on a Saturday night. It was 11:30 PM. Surprisingly, the restaurant was completely empty. I thought there would be more people hanging out here! Not too familiar with Oakland, but maybe it was a location issue? Anyways, we called and had an estimate of 25 minutes, but our food was ready in 15 minutes. Going inside, paying and checking out was easy.

We specifically wanted bossam. We also got the tteokbokki.

Service was quick and friendly.

At home, when we started to eat, we wish the bossam had more cabbage than the portion of steamed napa cabbage they gave us. The sauce flavors were good though and they gave us some banchan. The tteokbokki was tasty.

We were also able to takeout some makgeolli since the H-Marts and other Asian grocers were closed at this time.

All in all it got our bossam fix taken care of.“

“Amazing flavors and presentation, efficient service. But letting entitled, shameless patrons bring dogs in the restaurant to whine and yap and disturb diners?? Management needs to train staff to stand up to the Karens, bounce dogs, and avoid heath code violations.“

“Very clean and open space. I ordered the grapefruit tea with lychee jelly which was delicious but also too sweet so next time I will tweak my order to have less sugar. My daughter ordered the milk tea with boba and puff cream (I think that is what it was). She loved it! We received our drinks promptly. Located near Fenton's“

“Hard to find with only a small sign in the window. It is located in a coffee bar. The food was good. Order at the counter and food is brought to table. I went with 3 friends and we enjoyed our shared meal. Minus one star because I was overcharged and not given the happy hour price for the item I ordered.“

“Honestly the best baos I’ve ever had and their packaging is amazing too! Even got some Pocky with order. If you’re looking to a support small, family-owned business - support Baoz!“

“I’ve never been to Korea so can’t say if it’s authentic, but the tteokbokki is better than all other places in SF that serve this delicious dishIt still has a kick for the non-spicy level but I think it’s what makes it great. Awesome flavor, nice thick sauce. Warmed me up on a really cold day.Pairs really well with Soju. I’m going to be ordering this a lot going forward.Ordered through Uber Eats so going to try and eat it at restaurant next time with the extra cheese.“

“Good food, great place for duck, Asian BBQ pork and BBQ ribs etc. Large amount of menu items. Their egg Foo young is amazing. Picture is their wonton and egg noodles with Peking duck pretty good. 11.00+ unfortunately, they haven’t allowed dine in since the start of the Covid pandemic. Prices have also raised $3.00 plus per item since then .“
