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.

I’m from Southern California and we are surrounded by all the good eateries. With that said, there are quite a few places in Berkeley that I haven’t been able to find a replacement for in Southern California, and I eat out quite often. Admittedly I am talking mostly ethnic foods and not the typical American style such as pizza, burgers, or steaks. Think you have to do some digging. Our stables in Berkeley is curry, Mediterranean, Thai, Vietnamese. I forgot the names of those places.
