Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Emeryville

I've been visiting Yoshis for more than 20 years now, and there's never a dull moment! The food is absolutely delicious, and the service is always friendly. I do wish they had some specials since the prices can be a bit on the higher side, but honestly, it's worth it. The shows are always a blast, and I keep coming back for more!

We discovered the beautiful back patio. Even though it was raining, it was warm and comfortable. The service was attentive and welcoming, and the food was spectacular as ever. Can’t wait to return.

Went for Christmas Eve Feast of the Seven Fishes and did the full wine pairing— a splurge after a busy & draining day/week/year. The space was welcoming and festive, the wine pairings were interesting and thoughtful and the hospitality and service were impeccable from the moment we walked in to the moment we left hours later. Mistakes happen - especially on a busy holiday shift - but any minor hiccups were swiftly addressed. We felt treated like royalty but then also like old friends by the end of the meal.

A great pre-theater option for light bites, sandwiches, and salads. Outside seating is nice mid- afternoon and service was wonderful.

The food and service at Z Cafe are consistently excellent. Friendly waitstaff, fresh ingredients and good value keep me coming back. Recently had an excellent gumbo special and the house salad is big and well made with delicious vinaigrette. Other favorites: their crab cakes and tuna melt. Cocktails also very good.
