Restaurants in Emeryville

“What a great surprise. The food was delicious, and the service was great. We look forward to trying the rest of the menu. I highly recommend the Loco Moco.”

“Fantastic food and amazing service!!”

“Food A+, Shrimp and Grits hit, also the fish was well cooked and seasoned. Atmosphere was chill and relaxing with great music. The service was the best, me and my son visited from Fresno, Ca and was treated with A+ hostility. Our waitress name was Ari and I definitely recommend you stopping by to get the best of the best.”

“Amazing place, a bit unexpected when you drive by. Ihad great moments and made best friends. Cocktails are best in region! Try!”

“Pastrami was UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Best in the Bay that I have had so far…. Hidden gem
I had The OG…..great sandwich. I will definitely be returning”

“😍Once I week I allow my self the indulgence of one of their amazing cookies. It's my cookie Friday treat. Soooooo good. Ya gotta try it!”

“5 stars. Amazing food from the lentil soup to dessert. Highly recommend.”

“Surprisingly good food and fast service given that it was just one person. Had lemonade, pork bahn mi and my daughter had the pho ga. All the food was very good.
The place is definitely a bit hidden, I drove past it twice. Great place to get a quick meal. We were at ikea and the lines at the food court were too long and this was a perfect alternative.”

“rice pudding, cookies, borek,”

“Cute spot for a first date. Solid food, great staff and a mind numbing amount of beers on tap. The staff playlists are definitive deep cuts and current favorites.”

“great service and hospitality love there food will always come back .”

“Tipsy Putt Emeryville creates a unique space where entertainment and hospitality meet. Featuring indoor mini golf, quality food, and a wide selection of drinks, it's an ideal place for family outings, group events, celebrations, or simply spending quality time with friends.”

“Our first visit but absolutely not our last! What delicious flavors! Everyone loved their desserts, the toppings are incredible (vegan hot fudge, vegan caramel, toasted almonds,) and we all left full and happy! Definitely stop in when you’re in the neighborhood!”

“I've been coming for breakfast and lunch every other week for the past several months. The food is tasty and prepared with care, and the service is very good. The bagel with lox is generously portioned with plenty of capers and onions. The breakfast burrito is tasty and very balanced between the chorizo and other ingrediets. All the sandwiches have a great balance of ingredients, are generous, but not oversized. The house coffees are nice blends. What I mean by prepared with care is that nothing is greasy or over salty, meaning it is purposely prepared and assembled carefully, and ingredients chosen and the dish seasoned with attention so the end result is great. Take the breakfast burrito, for example - most places, there would be grease and juices dripping out, but Ruby's is very clean and tasty - you can eat with one hand without worrying it will drip onto your arm.”

“Always enjoy our time!! The best food ever!!!!”

“Just amazing. Pop-up street food doesn’t get better than this.”

“The pizza was everything 🥹🤤🧘🏿”

“7/5/25

The food was amazing! Delicious. It was expensive for an Indian restaurant. But u understand since it’s in a prime location. The staff were kind and friendly. They gave honest recommendations about what to order and the potions. I would definitely go back! :)

8/30
Been here a few times, Edward was an amazing server. And Salman (General Manager) was a wonderful host :)”

“Think what a great Thai restaurant should be? and Summer Summer is that!”

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

“I never write reviews, but I came back to this location for the albacore tuna melt sandwich which is amazing. My personal edits involve sourdough bread and substitute Swiss cheese for cheddar. No produce. Can’t wait to enjoy it again! :)”

“Came here for the first time after looking for a spot on google. Literally a gem in emeryville. Family owned and they are so welcoming in. Drinks and empanadas were delicious. If you like spicy their salsa is so yummy.”

“This Duetto (chicken pesto) sandwich is literally life-changing and the lattes are amazing. The lady who runs the cafe is the nicest person I have ever met and I come here everyday for lunch! Highly recommend 🥪🥙🍝☕️”

“Strong cider, strong playlist, staffed by legends.”

“thank you katsu sora Trinoma. maraming salamat din sa nag assist samin na si Claire. sobrang attentive and friendly.”

“I finally decided to give Saucey Asian a try, and it definitely lived up to the hype!

The food came out fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. Every dish we ordered was well-seasoned, the portions were generous, and you can tell they don’t skimp on quality. It’s one of those places where everything on the table makes you want “just one more bite.”

The atmosphere was casual, fun, and perfect for grabbing dinner with friends or family. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal.

If you’re in the Emeryville area and craving flavorful Asian comfort food, I definitely recommend checking this spot out. Great food, generous portions, and a great overall experience. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Excellent food and customer service from the staff and owners Dave and Carol. Best red chicken curry and chili!”

“Best breakfast burrito I've ever had.”

“Dennys and Jen Curtis as our waitress she was terrific chicken fried steak n eggs my favorite it was delicious. Jen was very pleasant her service outstanding we will be back”

“Wynn Whisenhunt created a beautiful brewery with relaxing atmosphere inside and out. Go enjoy time with friends and family while enjoying really good beer. Prost! 🍻”

“Chinatown can be a daunting place to dine in San Francisco due to its vast authentic cuisine which is unlike anything outside of China itself. I don’t speak or read any of the dialect, but somehow managed to order food and drink that was delicious. I’m pretty sure that we created much amusement for the other diners who were rather interested in the ‘foreigners’ selections. Hey, we’re tourists from the UK enjoying our adventures and are used to ridicule thanks to our lousy corrupt government, it was no big deal. Chinatown, great cuisine in very different surroundings. Highly recommended.”

“Una comida auténtica de los ancestros aztecas.una variación de moles”

“Place been here since I was a kid my first time trying Mexican food was here and high street this is real Oakland taqueria tacos burritos I'll love to see the menu expand been coming here since 2002 moved to east Oakland so hard to get here”

“this was my first time going I came for my birthday I had the best time ever the decorum,the atmosphere it was everything elegant and the meat the meat just kept coming It was great I recommend this place you will love it❤️”

“Our pizza was promptly delivered at the Hyatt House after a long day on the amtrak. For a large pepperoni and cheese pizza add a 2 l of diet coke, our bill was around $40 which included the delivery and tip. Pretty tasty pizza all In all, just a little pricey.”

“The food was exceptional. Everything was very fresh. We asked if they could make a lobster dish not on the menu and they were glad to do it. It was wonderful. There was a wedding in the main dining area facing the Bay so we missed the view but the room we ate in was very bright and comfortable. Try it, you'll love it 👍”

“Last night my husband, son and I went for dinner and, hands-down, it was fantastic! The restaurant is stylish and modern, the staff is super friendly and knowledgable and the food is delicious. You MUST try this place!”

“Ok sandwiches, close to train station.
Very helpful service. Served food from breakfast and lunch menu even before the opening times. Offered adjustments to the ingredients if necessary. Extremely nice experience.”

“Great “mini” burger but mini is a misnomer”

“We had dinner there tonight (3/14/24) for the first time and we will be back. Two of the most interesting and truly delicious sandwiches we have ever eaten. I can't remember what mine was called, but it had chicken (roasted perfectly), sauerkraut, cheese and other awesome stuff on a grilled rye bread that was excellent. My bride had the turkey sandwich and loved it. But the star of the show were the Tater Tots. Perfectly crisp with BBQ sauce to dip them in and then into some wonderful real bacon bits. Every tot stayed crisp from the first to the last. The meal was worth every penny and more. Get into the Alameda location and try it. You won't be sorry. PS: The only bad part for me is that we live in Seattle and won't be back down until May. But you can bet I will be eating here then.”

“Best tacos in Napa by far !”

“Outdoor seating, yummy food, loved the collards.”

“great food & great service!”

“Really nice place. The food is really good and nice big portions. The servers are really friendly and the cook (Nayeli) is amazing and super accommodating with our order.”

“O.M.F.G! The onion rings are AMAZING, perfect crunch and flavor without the extra grease, if they were a little thicker I'd give them a 12+☆
The wings, sandwiches and mozzarella sticks were great too!”

“Staff is friendly and the lunch box wall decor is cute. Parking will NOT be in your favor tho.”

“I used to prefer Subway but one day I decided to try ToGo's at the Christie Ave. Emeryville location and due to the pleasantry friendliness great tasting sandwiches and salads, from that day on I have not stopped going to that location. The staff works very hard, they're super friendly and make your sandwiches and salad with so much care you can taste it in the food. Bottom line-I appreciate them and absolutely love this place-I highly recommend it!!!! 🫶🏼👏🏼😋💖”

“Good coffees, responsive customer service, reasonable prices compared to most online coffee sellers”

“Just as I remember it without the Hauf Brau, but still good super clean and friendly. I have to come here and get the Chinese food which is what I used to always get.”

“I ordered takeout from this restaurant, and honestly, The flavors were incredible, everything tasted so fresh, and I’m already looking forward to ordering again. Highly recommend! 🍜❤”

“Claudia was my waitress and she gave excellent service. She was very polite, professional, and attentive. I will come back because of the excellent service she gave. The food was very good too.”

“Romantic atmosphere. I am happy to check in here.”

“This spot is definitely your old school neighborhood bar where everyone knows each other. I was there for a bday celebration.... it was cool for a random eveing. They had kareoke and one pool table. Cocktails seemed to ok for the crowd; no quality wine selections for me so it was a dry night. Overall the music made it was enjoyable.”

“Consistent, kind, and delicious. Been working on the street they're parked on for a long while and the thing I'll miss most about this job ending is grabbing a top notch burrito whenever I want.Only recently tried a breakfast burrito and it was so good.Currently eating a carne asada burrito with just beans and salsa and I could not be happier.Support these good folks!”

“the gyros are great, next time i will try the chickpea gyro...go ...eat. enjoy”

“Food was amazing! The ground beef enchiladas with red sauce were flavorful and the portions look huge but I promise you’ll finish your meal and feel great. Rice and refried beans were amazing, everything tasted fresh and made to order, not as if it’s been sitting in a warmer. Even the tortilla chips with pico de gallo would bring me back. Staff was kind and prompt as they could be. It wasn’t too crowded inside, but lots of pick up and to-go orders.”

“Weak recommendation. I like the choices but we went in at 1120 am (had been open 20 minutes) and lettuce and guacamole were turning brown. I know it was not the decision of the staff to reuse, they must have been told to do so. I generally like it. Today was disappointing. I’ll pay 30 cents more for today’s lettuce.”

“I would eat here again if I was staying at the Hyatt house again. 5 stars for atmosphere because it is close enough to enjoy your food in your room! It is a good atmosphere outside by the truck too but not lots of seating or cute decor if thats what you're looking for.

I was given a free beignet, fresh and hot to enjoy while I waited.

They didn't have the burger when I was there and I was between the mushroom sandwich or a chicken thigh pita. If I could go back, maybe next time I would try the chicken pita. The mushroom sandwich was good but I am personally not a fan of very thick bread. The fries were delicious, thick cut fries and fried perfectly. Nice and hot. Friendly service”

“We love stopping at Dipped for a sweet treat! Their caramel apples are always fresh, tasty, and perfectly made. The staff is polite and friendly, which makes each visit easy and enjoyable.

It’s become a fun stop for my kids on the way home — they get excited every time. Great local dessert spot if you’re in the Bay Street area!”

“The overall experience was amazing, but the uniqueness of each individual flavor really made it an exceptional experience. I first tried this in March but now want to see if April's flavors have any hidden delights.”

“I had the Chicken Tikka Masala, and it was absolutely delicious — a flavor that words can’t fully describe. The naan was excellent, and the Mango Lassi paired perfectly with my lunch. The portions were generous. I planned to take photos, but the food looked and smelled so good that I forgot. Overall, I highly recommend Konarq.”

“I Am Now Having 2 Ice Cream Flavors Of My Choice. Chocolate Chip & Chocolate Fudge.”

“A great place to take a (mini) break.”

“It’s a solid budget pizza option. I like how quick it is to order and pick up. Taste is simple and not the best around, but it works when you just need something easy.”

“I don't know how many, but there are at least two Kelly's Delis in the East Bay that are located by Home Depots, so whenever I go to Home Depot I check them out.They have a variety of burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches and mexican food.I really enjoy their breakfast burritos which are made with hashbrowns, eggs, rice and choice of meat.They're decently priced and their team turns around orders relatively quick.”

“The young man (#006) who served me on 9/9/25 was unusually polite, considerate and extremely helpful. It was quite unexpected. Subway food is not very different one store from another. Differences among stores are mostly location and customer service. The latter is usually either ok or subpar at Subway. Some stores charge extra for toasting and won't allow the use of gift card, can hardly speak English, and sometimes are downright rude. How refreshing to be served by this wonderful young man who patiently responded to my requests, always with a smile. I regret not getting his name, he is tall, a big guy, young and so friendly. Thank you.”

“Flavorful food & good customer service”

“I came here yesterday and was greeted very nicely along with the rest of the other people coming in after me. I normally don't go to chipotles here in the bay area but this one has really stood out to me. I used the bathroom before ordering to wash my hands and the bathrooms were clean and stocked full with toilet paper and hand towels! Thats a first for me! The food looked very fresh and the counter where they prepared my bowl was clean and if the worked made a mess they cleaned it up right after, very well done! I sat inside and ate my food and it was a great ambiance with nice music playing and hearing the workers joke and have a good time working. Unlike the other stores I've been to, the workers look miserable and are messy and seem rude. This location is truly incredible and i will be coming back here every-time I want a good afternoon lunch.”

“This Subway has always been my go to. I really appreciate how the service has always been. Its in a great spot for being across the way from the train and right on a bikeway. The staff are so attentive and care about what they are providing. Thank you!”

“Great place the person who took our order was incredibly nice and definitely went above and beyond for the customers great place and food was absolutely top tier to other panda express locations”

“Nice staff and nice locations”

“Excellent Eating the pizza is on point”

“Saw the comment about a mouse and believe me theh went inspected we got 94 out of 100. some of my coworkers may be rude even i myself when a bad custumer just passed honestly try to hige the best service i can with whag i have inside which alot of times we are missing tons of things and its not our fault. Seen genuine similes of costumers. if you bring a pet trough the drive trough you have more preference for a better service since it makes me happy seeing the pets.”

“What a great surprise. The food was delicious, and the service was great. We look forward to trying the rest of the menu. I highly recommend the Loco Moco.”

“Cute spot for a first date. Solid food, great staff and a mind numbing amount of beers on tap. The staff playlists are definitive deep cuts and current favorites.”

“The pizza was everything 🥹🤤🧘🏿”

“These burgers are delicious. Fresh tasting, light and juicy, served up hot as soon as they come off the grill. I think our bill was close to $40 for two single shack burgers, one onion ring, and two large diet sodas. Pretty pricey, but hey, this is California!”

“Last night my husband, son and I went for dinner and, hands-down, it was fantastic! The restaurant is stylish and modern, the staff is super friendly and knowledgable and the food is delicious. You MUST try this place!”

“My super burrito was so good and that mango salsa is top tier every time I come into the business I'm greeted properly and treated like they want me there I'm so happy I found a place close to home where I don't have to drive to East Oakland to get mid food. This food is consistent The staff is wonderful Thank you for being so kind to me Mr Monte. I hope to see you all soon, Because I'm absolutely craving it lol”

“Such a great new spot! The food is authentic and tasty, and the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. They have a smaller team since they’ve just opened, but the service is still really quick. There’s a slight language barrier, so I recommend pulling up a photo from their Google page to order your meal—but trust me, it’s worth it!”

“Excellent Coffee with Above-and-Beyond Customer Service.

Recently moved to the East Bay area and was looking for a reliable roaster with a blend that is dark but not bitter, chocolatey but not overly fruity, and not sour. I looked up roasters in my area, walked up to their locations, tried their coffee, and picked up their dark roasts. I didn't ask my barista for a recommendation because the Highwire location I visited didn't feel particularly warm or welcoming.

That's when I discovered Shadow Play, which my household lovingly calls “Shadowfax”. It was everything my coffee should be: dark but not bitter, chocolatey but not fruity or sour, and the best part was that it was consistent across my Moccacamaster, pour over, or Aeropress (as long as I used the right grind size). I can't say the same about my other local roaster (I won't signal which one): different grinds/processes and entirely different flavor profiles from the exact same bean/batch.

But I honestly did not like buying the beans from my local location, so I wanted to get it shipped from the likes of drinktrade.com; that's when I discovered Highwire has a subscription model where they ship freshly roasted beans every week to my doorstep, and they do throw in a discount, so even after shipping costs, the total amounts to the same as buying in-person.

Things were fine the first week, but then a funny thing happened: USPS decided my freshly roasted East Bay beans needed a cross-country detour through New Jersey before finding their way back to me. I was not amused. I shot off a slightly irritated note to Highwire expecting either silence or a form response.

Instead, Steve from production wrote back within the hour, on a Sunday, and offered to personally drop off fresh beans at my place on his way home from the roastery. Which he did. No fanfare, no coupon code, no customer service script. Just a person who cares about the coffee he makes reaching out to make it right.

That's when I stopped being a customer and became an advocate.

Shadow Play is excellent coffee. Steve and the team at Highwire are the reason I'll keep drinking it. In an era when most businesses treat customers as numbers, Highwire still operates like a neighborhood roaster that actually knows what good coffee means and why it matters.

If you're looking for a roaster in the East Bay, stop looking.”

“I often order the curry udon with chicken katsu from here and find the quality consistent and delicious, and the service good. Demiya does lack a personal touch by having an order kiosk rather than someone to help up front, but the staff do still step in if it looks like someone is having trouble.”

“I had the Hiroshi Tonkotsu Ramen and it was the best Ramen I ever had. Seriously. Enjoyed it while watching the England versus Argentina game with my son who had the same. The broth was creamy and smokey, and they don’t use any MSG. Soooo good!!”
