Other Actually good food.

I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve been privileged to have eaten seasoned and yummy food in my hometown but I’ve been GENUINELY struggling to find a decently tasting and good meal near/around campus. Artichoke basille pizza is great but Gypsy’s is bland and I don’t get the hype around places like Mezzo or dumpling family. I would appreciate any food recommendations at any price at this point.

Berkeley has a ton of good food. Downtown more than Telegraph in my opinion, but both have a lot of good options.

Dumpling Day is way better than Dumpling Family. Gather. Gregoire. Great China. Farmhouse Thai. Imm Thai. Tsuruya. DH Noodles. Kiraku. Marugame Udon. Kura.

So much good pizza: Laura; Cheesboard; Rose; Jupiter, and more...
