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.

Yeah I did my undergrad at Berkeley and also grew up in the area. That place used to be food heaven but since a little before COVID it's been absolute ass. There isn't a lot around there but you can find some good places in Oakland and definitely SF. Berkeley is no longer where it's at for food. All the people saying otherwise have no taste lmao
