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.”

“The service was great! I wish I can remember their names! But please give them a try I can never decide when it come to all vegan places and end up ordering whatever sounds good! You can’t go wrong with any of the tacos!! Updated from previous review on 2026-04-16”

“Shawny C was an absolute beacon of light from the moment we met her. Her warm personality, genuine kindness, and welcoming spirit made us feel right at home. She didn't just serve drinks—she created an experience that made us feel valued, appreciated, and cared for.

It's rare to meet someone who naturally makes people feel welcomed and loved, but Shawny does exactly that. Her positive energy was contagious, and her authenticity stood out in the best possible way. By the end of our visit, we felt like we'd come back just to see her again.

Rob Ben's Restaurant & Lounge is fortunate to have someone like Shawny representing their establishment. She turned a good visit into a memorable one, and we can't wait to return.”

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

“This place is the best! Keeps it simple: Pastrami sandos and a few other items; all done well; always ready when you get there to pick it up.

Folks who work there are super friendly. Couldn't ask for a better sandwich shop. Plus they're open early so you can grab and go on the way to work. Dad's Mustard is my choice, but no choice is wrong at this spot.”

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

“Fantastic food and amazing service!!”

“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.”

“Went here for a work function since you can rent/reserve sections. Beer tap list is impression. 8 hole very mini golf course and a similar sort of 1-2 putt thing that’s like shuffleboard for golf balls”

“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 to Ruby’s a lot over the years and the food and staff are consistently top notch. I’m a fan of the coffee, those delish chocolate chip cookies and the curry chicken salad sandwich.

I was so enamored with the croissant one time that I asked the manager where they sourced them. I thought they baked them on site! But the little secret is they are from Semifreddi’s based in Alameda!”

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

“😍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!”

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

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

“The pizza was everything 🥹🤤🧘🏿”

“I love this place! Great food and amazingly friendly service. They offer fresh baked sweet and savory empanadas, pastries, and coffee. Everything I’ve tried is a 10/10.”

“Located on the Bay Street Plaza in Emeryville, on the second floor next to Barnes and Nobles. Saucy Asian is a Korean fusion restaurant. It’s a trendy place and is pretty busy all the way to closing time. We came in today after shopping at the new Tokyo Central across the street for a late dinner. We ordered at 7:58pm and did not receive our food until 8:26pm which was quite long wait for what we ordered. There is some indoor seating as well as outdoor seating.

As for food we ordered:
- Saucy Asian Bowl
- Saucy Asian Fries
- Island Style Poke Bowl (combo: half tuna/half Salmon)

All the food were good, have no complaints, but have had better elsewhere. Overall, if we’re in the mood for their food, we would come back.”

“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 🥪🥙🍝☕️”

“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! 🍻”

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

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

“Food, service, atmosphere... it couldn't have been better. Everything we ordered from small plates to drinks to dessert was fantastic. We will absolutely be back.”

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

“Food was delicious! I would recommend the beef vermicelli as the meat was especially flavorful. Service was also fantastic, and the woman working there was super nice and helpful.”

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

“Best breakfast burrito I've ever had.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“Service is quick. The grab and go salads are phenomenal. Variety of beverages in their fridge, everything from juices, seltzers, protein shakes, teas low calorie options. Be sure to check out their specials and soups. Had the chicken and vegs soup because i was under the weather and it was like a home styled chicken noodle soup (without noodles). Great low calorie option. They had a special on chicken marsala and it was soooo good.
They have a large menu to chose from for different dietary needs.
Absolutely love their green smoothie and breakfast burritos!”

“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”

“Uniquely decorated
New menus
Flexibility of menu so awesomer
Legendary
Not sure of the star situation; so glad I can edit. First time doing this I hope it sticks this time”

“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❤️”

“I love it that when I have a half hour or hour to kill, Cafe Rack has plenty of pool tables and a well-lit space for me to use. I can go there alone or with a friend, and don't need to order anything to eat or drink unless I want to. Parking is not plentiful, though.”

“Light night service needs a bell or something to let the staff know someone’s come in. Other than that, the pizza is legit. Perfect crust and amount of toppings. Plus they’re open late!”

“Booked Hong Kong East Ocean for my birthday dinner. I wanted to eat Salt and pepper crab. My reservation was at 8:39pm, it was very quiet on a Tuesday night. The venue reminded me to f a 90's wedding hall.. I ordered Ginger scallion crab because it was the only non spicy option besides steam crab;which was delicious and I ordered a beef and bell peppers dish w/steM rice.”

“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!”

“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”

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.”

“Excellent little shop located right next door to Amtrak. Got a breakfast sandwich to go and the owner even threw in a few extra little snacks. What a sweetheart. Will definitely be stopping back through on my next trip.Thankyou! 🙏🏼”

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

“great food & great service!”

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

“Best tacos in Napa by far !”

“This place is a gem if you’re looking for big, satisfying comfort food. The sandwiches and burgers are HUGE—definitely come hungry or plan to take some home. The portions alone make it worth it.

The gator tots were a standout—super crispy and packed with flavor. You can tell it’s a well-loved local spot with a laid-back vibe.

It’s also conveniently located near public transportation, which makes it really easy to swing by. Overall, a great go-to spot when you want something hearty and delicious!”

“rode our bikes for some fresh french press... the best dark roast on the planet 🌎”

“La mejor comida peruana!!!! Delicioso sazón y excelente lugar Sus alfajores, una delicia 😋!”

“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.”

“He's currently open summer hours, Monday thru Saturday, 10am to 5pm. Shortens hours and maybe closed Saturdays during winter when days are shorter. Friendly service, great dogs. ?? CASH ONLY.”

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

“We got the classic menu with wagyu beef, short rib, cuttlefish, black tiger shrimp, and quail eggs. Very high quality ingredients and tasty, especially the shrimp and short rib. Be careful with the sichuan broth - it’s quite spicy.”

“Healthy & freshly pressed juices, cold brew/nitro coffee, nut mylks & Super power elixirs!!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Everyday all day five guys eats it's always okay! Got to take hands down to some of the best burgers and fries I've ever eaten and doesn't matter what location I go into they are all the same very clean organized well managed Sammy had a chance to ever stop by one of their locations you should because you want for delightful treat”

“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.”

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

“Inside was clean, I got the beef mini meal and replaced the macaroni salad with rice, the food cane with rice, bbq beef, and vegetables (cabbage and broccoli) the food was so good that I picked out the broccoli and ate it on its own, and I hate broccoli, so that shows how good it was”

“I love their Spicy Pork Burrito. One of the best burritos I have had in the Bay Area. Pineapple Agua Fresca was so good and I could say it was freshly squeezed! I will be a regular customer and recommend this place strongly!”

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

“Perfect the best burger 🍔 I’ve had in awhile real burger yes yes I could of kissed the cook hell he owner for building this place keep up the awesome work thanks and those garlic fries were freaking amazing 😻 and the drinks 🥤👍🏾👍🏾✌🏾✌🏾🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💪🏾😘💯”

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

“This was my first time at this location. I didn't know that it was here until I left a nearby business. I would say that I enjoy Togo's sandwiches the most since they quality and quantity is excellent. I enjoy seeing my sandwich prepared in front of me that way I can request more or less vegetables. The staff is friendly and helpful if you have any questions.”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Karla the waiter was fantastic.
She brought everything we needed and got the orders correct the first time.
Keep up the good work. 😊😊😃😃😃”

“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.”

“We placed the orders online and picked ithem up in the store. When the scheduled pickup time arrrived, the app told me the orders were ready. But when we got there, the food was not ready, and we ended up waiting for about 10 min. The timing could definitely use some improvement.

I ordered the salad bowl, the portion was generous, and the ingredients were freash.”

“Got the chicken katsu curry with brown rice. The portion size was big, I couldn't finish the rice. The curry was good and had a good kick at spice level 2. Chicken katsu was cooked perfectly. Friendly staff.”

“The barista couldn’t have been nicer and answered all my questions about their bean roasts and techniques. Oh and the cappuccino was really delicious too! One of the best I’ve had anywhere. Worth every penny.”

“Love their ramen, meat is tender and flavorful as well as their broths. Love them in WC and so happy they're in Emeryville now! Ask for the house made hot paste. So good!”
