Comfort Food Restaurants near Emeryville, CA

“The food was incredible, the place was perfect for the event. However the bartender felt overwhelmed and was giving out a bad attitude. Got a little uncomfortable for a couple of ladies when he slammed down a glass or two. The other came by and asked us to place our drink orders with the waitress only. I highly recommend this place but beware of the bartender.“

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

“Fried fish like fat grandma used to make. Mmm mm mm“

“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.“

“A San Francisco treat! Thanks to the folks at Zenlist and the San Francisco Board of Realtors for a special invite after an awesome quick dive into the AI enhanced MLS and the mobile consumer friendly data resources, Hazie's lively atmosphere closed it all with a golden broach -- fun, fun, fun and the libations flowed. Great find for #TheBrokerWithAHeart.

Parking: Loud, but that's expected at a bar and Bingo.“

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

“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 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.“

“I went for the first time yesterday. I ordered the arepa de pernil and a cocktail. It was amazing! The arepa was very generous and the pernil was tender and full of flavor. The staff was kind and friendly. 10/10 I will definitely be going back.“

“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“

“Fantastic food and even better service! Stumbled upon this restaurant and after abysmal service from every other restaurant I’ve tried in SF, we were blown away. The galbi tang was piping hot and so comforting and the pork belly was so delicious. The drinks were very good and also reasonably priced! The highlight of our night was definitely our amazing server Hazel. She was so incredibly sweet and personable and really made everything 10x better. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area.“

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

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

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

“Great vibe, came for the happy hour burger. Fries were thick cut and crispy. I did wish the burger had some more fresh components (lettuce/raw onion/tomato) but it was juicy and delicious. Server offered to have the burger split on two plates which was nice.“

“I came here with a friend one day for lunch (we had been looking forward to coming to Sarap Shop for a while and were finally able to align our schedules for a weekday, since the hours here are somewhat limited). I ordered the lechon carbonara since all of the dishes here with lechon appeared to be a popular choice online and this seemed like interesting take on dishes that were familiar to me, a fusion of Italian carbonara and Filipino lechon. To be honest, the dish was a tad too oily and salty for my preferences, but also so tasty! I ended up finishing most of it and bringing the rest home since it was a generous portion and a good balance of toppings/mix-ins and noodles. I'd look forward to ordering it again in the future.

The location was a bit... uncertain at first. Sarap Shop is located down a side street off of 4th St which is convenient if you're heading down to a game or concert. I went there from 3rd St and was a bit confused since it just looked like a residential area, but there it was! The red garage door (see other people's pics) was open so the business was indeed open, but my friend and I were confused at first since there was no one inside and it took a moment to realize we needed to order by QR code online. That was all fine, just a bit unexpected. (Other customers and delivery drivers that came in after us looked similarly confused by all the closed doors and closed serving windows inside, so perhaps they just need better signage for these cases?)

Overall a good experience and I look forward to another visit here and the chance to try something new :)“

“Love the service! Great night out!“

“I ordered via grubhub so can't comment on service or atmosphere. But the food was 10/10. I got the hummus, muhammra, falafel. Hummus and Muhammra came with Bite sized pitas. I also got their hot sauce and it was fire!! Loved everything, great for vegetarians too!!“

“Good food, lively atmosphere.“

“I always get the chicken sandwich. It's the best one. Sometimes I'll order just the chicken for dinner, about $3.50 each, if I don't feel like cooking a main protein dish at home. Bring cash or there's a extra fee for using card.“

“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.“

“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.“

“fabulous food...generous portions...♡“

“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“

“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 .“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 really only came out here for the world famous "Mitchell Ice cream" that was for 18 a pop. Great place with nothing but kind people that is always awalys so helpfull. I can't speak on anything else that they serve at this location, but if you're looking for the best ice cream, this is one of the spots.“

“Menu selections are varied and excellent. The minestrone is a very good specialty. Portions are generous. Steaks are excellent and generous in portion size. Breakfast and egg dishes are always consistent. Service is cheerful. Salads are great especially with an Elio’s Greek style dressing..“

“Carne pizza is highly recommended! Zachery’s special was ok. We ordered thin pizza and Happened to add anchovies, whole pizza became so so salty that we could barely eat. So be careful with toppings. But we finished the entire carne, it was so so good.“

“I’ve ordered Tonkutsu Ramen (mild), its good but too spicy for me. I asked for hot water to reduce d saltiness n spiciness. Flavor still great!“

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

“First time here with my family. Great service and the Pizza is awesome. Fresh ingredients, great crust, cheesy cheese. Owner talked to me like I was family... We felt welcome and great things is when you expense 25 dollar you will get free 2 liter soda when younpickup. Food and service always good

Vegetarian options: They do offer vegan and halaal pepperoni too“

“Balompié is a not so hidden gem in the mission. It has apparently been in the same spot of almost 30 years and somehow this is my first time visiting them. I went here because I wanted pupusas and I was not disappointed. Their pupusas were very tasty and a lot less greasy than some of the pupusas I've had at other places... And the server, Evaline(not sure if that's how you spell it) was very friendly. I will definitely recommend this place and I will return“

“I ordered takeout from Deccan House on a Tuesday evening and was very pleased! The food was fresh and ready at the appointed time. The keema dosa was nice and spicy and the portion was big enough to enjoy again for lunch the next day. The samosas were crisp and tasty, accompanied by fresh chutneys. I’d gladly return to try more of their dishes.

The interior is simple with cozy booths for dining in. Service was very friendly.“
