“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.”
“Just amazing. Pop-up street food doesn’t get better than this.”
“Cool atmosphere, the staff is nice, the food is good and the drinks are the bomb! On given days they have karaoke and live music. Overall I would highly recommend especially if you're looking for a soul food spot.
Enjoy!”
“I had a team building event at Tipsy Putt Emeryville for my team of 20. It was the perfect location for a Thursday afternoon team building event. We had three teams and we played best shot on hole. The staff was professional, friendly and it was all so easy to book, manage and execute. The team loved it! highly recommend.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“We had the chicken biriyani and litti chokha. Its really good. They are very close to the authentic taste. The chicken biriyani here is lucknow style which is a bit rare to find in the east bay. Irrespective of that detail, the biriyani is really amazing.
Portions and service, really good.
p.s: if you get a patio seat on a sunny day, you get a nice view of the bay and the Golden Gate bridge.”
“The server was really nice but tables were really sticky, bathroom was dirty and they were sadly out of everything on tap, I had to get a bottled beer, they were also out of the bottled beer I chose, so I had to change that too. Probably won't be going back to Hidden Spot/Hometown Heroes.”
“a little expensive for hot pot- but the nice new restaurant feel and the quality of food makes up for it. The meat lover combo for $65 was plenty for two people. Service would really only show up when you placed a new order, and it was a little weird not to receive spoons or bowls (there is a separate self-serve counter for this and sauces) but besides that they were fine. Only rank atmosphere low due to a large amount of families with loud kids wandering the restaurant... cest la vie.”

“One of our favorite places to grab coffee and a bite! The staff is really friendly and the cafe itself is cozy and comfortable. It's spacious and there's plenty of parking across the street, sound the corner, and they have 15 minute parking out front. Highly recommend the white chocolate mocha and chicken El Fuego sandwich!”

“I finally got to try the dishes here and I am not disappointed.
I got the soup and it was just right amount of jalapeños for the spice. I lobe the simplistic it had, but it was still tasty ?
I also tried the island poke dish and it was very delicious as well.
I like how you have options for the rice or a salad base, or both.
Very flavorful and right amount of sauces.
I am looking forward to trying more dishes as time goes by.”
“great service and hospitality love there food will always come back .”
“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.”

“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!”

“Exhausted from our family hike, we turned to Google for sustenance. This charming restaurant welcomed us warmly, quickly seating us and thoughtfully switching the channel to a children's program.
Our server was kind and attentive. The food arrived promptly, and my wife was particularly pleased with her gluten-free bánh mì sandwich. Our children, with gusto, consumed their chicken tenders, wings, and fries. We'll 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! 🍻”
“Been ordering from Jungdon for a while now and figured it's time for a review. I always order one of their Deluxe sets - Anshim is my go to and Deungshim is 2nd fav since I like my katsu a bit chewy. Tried the chicken and cheese katsu too but they're just ok imo.
~$30 a set sounds high at first but I can easily have it over 2-3 meals, which is awesome.
Flavor is also consistent - Always love how the potato salad, cabbage slaw, sauces and katsu come together! Miso soup is a great addition too given East Bay is quite often a bit cold.”

“The atmosphere is amazing. It's a combination of cozy and white table cloth.
Just enough menu selections to have something for everyone . Not sure about a kids menu, I didn't see one.
Meatballs and pasta were very good. Nice wine selection as well as a healthy selection of bourbon and other spirits.
Great place for a date night or watching a game. They had a TV at the bar with a game in when we were there.”
“Great service! Attentive, friendly and hospitable! The food was fresh and delicious. Pool table was good and the place was spacious. Clean bathrooms. My comments are, gotta have a bigger alcohol selection or at least offer what you have on the menu. For a Friday night I think the lovely lady attending to everyone from check in, bar tending and serving did a great job all be herself! You are lucky to have her. This is coming from a small business owner that knows all the struggles. When my people call out, I am there to cover so Please get her some help ;-)
Another thing to note is the security guard was just wonderful in helping us find a space to park our van and great attitude in keeping it all safe. We had a wonderful time and will be back for sure! Thank you for the hospitality and great vibes!”
“Great food. They use really good quality ingredients in generous proportions. The various recipes are solid. They get all of the custom pizzas and requests correct each time. The crust is crispy and enjoyable almost every time. It is not a cracker thin crust, but a normal "thin" crust - as opposed to a pan crust. I definitely don't prefer their pan crust. It throws the proportions of the pizza off somehow. And I normally can enjoy a good pan crust. But everything else is very good. Salads are well made with quality ingredients and generous toppings. Wings are better than average. They serve Ken's Steakhouse brand dressings and dipping sauces. So bonus there. Giant cookie and giant brownie were definitely very solid overall. So double bonus there for anyone left with space for dessert. They only use the Slice App which is cool. But they do have a spendy flat rate delivery fee which is not okay if you only want to order 1 or 2 things. But if you order quite a bit of food with leftovers in mind. Then the delivery fee makes sense. They do have some good coupons / specials available in the app which can definitely help you save a bunch of $. They do have one serious downside however, the store keeps 100 percent of the tips given thru the app. The delivery driver gets $0 of the tip money. I have heard this now from multiple delivery drivers. This is really crappy and un-ethical in my view. Especially since there is already a "cost of living" type fee added the order in addition to delivery fee. So for right now, I am tipping only using cash. Delivery is always faster than estimated plus the drivers are good and friendly. Hot food is always hot and cold food is still cold etc. They also have late night delivery hours - which is super important to those of us wired for 2nd and 3rd shifts. I am currently trying other pizza places to see if I can find one equally as good with out the ethics problem. But so far, no dice. I will update this review if I discover one.
Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free crust option available.
Kid-friendliness: Good kid friendly food options.”
“The roast duck, the roast pork, the seafood and the noodles, were all superlative. It was nice to be able to order a little dim sum as appetizers, and it is great dim sum. The new chairs with covers, the new matching teacups, plates and tea pots, are great. And the view is spectacular. Mt. Tamalpais, Angel Island, Treasure Island, Coit Tower, the SF skyline, the Bay Bridge, and right in the center, the Golden Gate Bridge. Perfect place to take visitors and San Franciscans. Or have a drink and an appetizer in the bar, just to enjoy the view.”
“Think what a great Thai restaurant should be? and Summer Summer is that!”

“Excellent food! Even so good that we went back the next night for more!
We ordered brisket, hot links, ribs, and
potato salad the first night. All super good. Great flavor! Mild bbq sauce is really good. The next night we went back for brisket, chicken and Mac-n-cheese. Oh, and the cornbread is yummy!”

“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.”
“the atmosphere is great and I love their 49 rolls! I usually go in a group because the food is very filling!”
“I was really impressed with Copper & Malt. The layout makes it very easy to find what you’re looking for and Ashley is very knowledgeable when it comes to wine. I recently tried an orange wine and was surprised how much I liked it considering I usually prefer red wine. I also tried a bit of sake. Since I don’t like the taste of alcohol, I was surprised how smooth cold sake is. I’m no longer turned off to sake and would recommend doing a sake tasting if you’re new to it like me.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“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!”
“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.”
“The Banks Club in Emeryville is the spot! Soul, funk tunes fill the air all day, and the DJ sets on weekends are just dope. Karaoke nights? Always a blast. They pour generously too. I've had countless great times here. It's like the Cheers of Emeryville - you're gonna love it. 100% recommend!”
“When specifically ask for chicken to be cut up into small pieces for a five year old to eat & you get back huge cuts of chicken a grown adult would have trouble biting it really annoying. However the food is excellent & conveniently located with decent size portions so that’s what keeps me coming back.”
“Humphry Slocombe is a Bay Area institution at this point and this one is in line with other locations. Personally, I find the flavors here to be hit or miss so it may take a while to find something you’ll like. The space is kinda weird but staff is usually super nice. I’m really glad theres finally an ice cream shop on Bay Street and it’s much needed for the area, but of all the SF chains to cross the bay, it’s too bad it had to be this one.
We tend to get salted caramel cacao nib, malted milk chocolate, Vietnamese coffee, secret breakfast, and lavender crumble and go back fairly often.”
“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❤️”

“WOW!!! First time eating Indonesian food and although I've had Thai, Laos, Vietnamese, Cambodian and Malaysian food numerous times, I was surprised how different & wonderful it was. Nice staff and very generous Big portion, but really it's all about the flavor, which was Awesome.”
“The food us well worth the money that you spend in there. Sandwiches are delicious, burgers are great and they have delicious variety of salads. I believe they have something for everyone on the menu. I go to the one in Emeryville on Powell Street in the building 2000.”
“Usually go there for pickups, and notice that they are always prepping food and cleaning tables. The place is very clean and efficient.
Last time I went they even offered me a free drink whole I had to wait for my pickup. In general one of the better run fast food places I've been to.”
“this is my favorite corner store of all time. been coming here for like 10 years, never had a problem with anything, and chicken etc. is apparently available too, so that's a plus. support your local corner store!”

“This was my 5th or 6th time at Narusushi. Each time has been fantastic and Ive been meaning to review for a while.
First, the place is just amazing. I really enjoyed everything. The place is clean and the retailers are very welcoming. Decently fast service, and a casual restaurant with a good selection of Japanese style food.
I think some of the best sushi around. Fresh fish. Great flavors. The atmosphere was great and the food was truly amazing. I will definitely be coming back again, mark my words Narusushi!!”
