Comfort Food Restaurants near Emeryville, CA

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Had a wonderful dinner at Hazie’s! The ambiance was fantastic, warm and inviting. Our server Mason made the experience even better — attentive and personable, with spot-on menu recommendations. The chef came out personally to check on our meal and make sure we were well taken care of.

Food-wise, everything delivered. The Duck Carbonara was rich and savory, the squash blossoms and dumplings were a total flavor explosion, and the cauliflower was perfectly cooked with a sweet savory taste.

Highly recommend!!!!!!“

This place just celebrated 23 years in business, they deserve At least 23 more!!!!“

“Very authentic katsu curry and udon dishes. We tried both the pork and vegetarian korokke options and both were delicious. The curry comes at a standard spiciness level and you can shake on powdered chili from jars on the table to make it spicier. Enjoyed also the yuzu lemonade tea“

“I’ve recently cut out all dairy and pretty much all meat, although I will make an exception for special occasions and eat meat seldomly. anyway the options here are delicious if you’re a vegan! Their menu is full of tasty choices. U couldn’t be happier with my recent door dash orders“

“Fantastic & authentic yogurt rice! (The TS comes in large portions, I couldn’t finish a single large TS.)

I consider myself a bit of an Indian yogurt connoisseur, and I believe this is the closest to home-style ThayirSadam that I’ve eaten in the US :)

The owner cares a lot about the food and experience, and took time to walk me through the menu and his story. (He told me how his son painted the mural with elements from his childhood and the restaurant’s theme — that was pretty cool!)

I will be back to try the other snack items.“

“Good food, lively atmosphere.“

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

“We had such a great night at Burdell. The food was delicious - comforting and satisfying, but still thoughtful and really well done. We especially loved the pork strip steak, ham salad and cornbread. Great cocktails, super friendly service, and just an all-around fun dinner. Definitely a place we’ll come back to.“

“One of my fav. place to get Banh Mi. Service is certainly can improve, but not expected for a place like this. Pickup pay at the counter. Only one register, expect delay during rush hours (lunch time). I have been coming here for over 35 years, still coming back.

For large order, I recommend ordering a day in advanced.“

“i came in at 10:25pm (they close at 11) to order takeout. not only was i greeted with the most genuine smile by the person behind the bar, but they were so kind and welcoming. i got the bbq bacon burger sub chicken patty add tomato and lettuce (per their recommendation) and it was SUPERB. chicken? cooked perfectly. bun? doughy and held up throughout the eating of the sandwich. the lettuce was crispy and the bacon was fresh. i also got the garlic parm fries and they were the best ones i’ve had in a long time. after a really long day this was exactly what i needed. thank you very much.“

“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..“

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

“Wonderful place for lunch before SF MoMA! The Berkeley Bowl with their tuna salad on top might be the best salad I’ve ever had. Friendly greeting upon entering who oriented us to the menu. Wonderful staff. Efficient service. Fantastic food.“

“I stopped at this restaurant due to the time I decided to find something to eat, as it was late and everything was closing for the evening. I stopped in and was greeted by the friendly staff, and the place was a little busy. I was able to get served for the time i had about a little over an hour before they closed. I was very limited on what I could order due to the gluten problem. but the server and staff was very helpful in finding dishes that I could get just had to leave out a few things to make it gluten free. it was a very good choice of what we came up with and everything turned out to be a success for a late night dinner. Thank you again guys for the help and the service. You guys are awesome. Stop and check this place out the food was full of flavor and the toppings on the side made for tasteful options to add for each bite.“

“I'd say the pizza is pretty darn good. And the service was excellent also. I had a plain cheese pizza then style done extra well done. My friend had a barbecue chicken. Both were outstanding. Service was also top-notch. Dining room is clean and comfortable. Bathrooms are also clean. Convenient free parking on a Saturday evening at 8:00 p.m. All around a positive dining experience. Also note, although not this particular Zachary's, but the Oakland Zachary's provided pizza for a recent work event. Pizza was fantastic. Everyone loved it.“

“Had a great dining experience here food was amazing and the customer service was even better Clarence the server had a great attitude let us stay and eat our food a whole 30 minutes after closing. The affordable pricing is just a cherry on top. Big fan of this place for sure will come again.“

“One community advocate. Great cause.“

“We love Sumac. It is our go-to for healthy comfort food. I especially like the red pepper tomato soup and my husband loves the chicken bone broth soup. He also often orders the red lentil rice bowl. Their half and half bowls are a nice way to customize your order.“

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

“We for the late munchies for ice-cream. Lucky for us, this place stays open late🙌
I had the purple yam flavor. It was my first time, and, so good! It got the spot.
Such a cool way to eat ice-cream!
The only downside is that the spoon is a soft plastic, so it's a bit difficult to eat the hard ice-cream with. But not terrible.“

“Great food and music. Xxx.“

“Chang Thai is my favorite hidden gem. Small cozy Thai, Lao and Vietnamese cuisine.
Wife does all the cooking herself. Husband is very friendly and attentive. You will feel as if you’re visiting them at their house in Thailand! I love their Lao papaya salad! The best. You choose your own spice level. Everything is served fresh. Great to dine by yourself or with family and friends as well. Great value. Lots of options. And plenty of parking in their huge parking lot. The bus stops right in front! Believe me once you try my little gem. It will also become yours!!! Enjoy!😊“

“You can order regular or oreo waffles 🧇! It’s airy and sweet in all the right places. Also their boba is always on point :)“

“Tbk was not spicy enough, but I suspect they might have lowered the spice level to accommodate the majority customers who aren't used to the spice level.

Overall, taste was great, but the price is a bit high since you don't get that large of portion.“
