Diverse eateries, bars, games, and shops in a lively setting


























"On any good road trip, the moment comes when no one’s able to decide what they want to eat. Thank god for food halls! Wolf down bites of nasi goreng and pandan chiffon cake from Indonesian restaurant Nusa, fill up on Peruvian pork shoulder adobo from Paradita Eatery, or slurp noodles from Ramen Hiroshi, all at one destination. There are enough choices to fuel the entire group for the drive ahead." - Dianne de Guzman


"Okay, this is a little bit of cheating, but Emeryville Public Market’s smattering of mostly counter-service spots is a seriously great option for families, because sometimes, easy is the chief driving factor for where to eat. Belly-filling burgers at Super Duper Burgers, Korean-Japanese rice-bun sandwiches at Koja Kitchen (where some moms-to-be may make a daily habit of kamikaze fries), avocado-studded tacos at C Casa, and a fast-casual tour of Peru with Paradita Eatery… all members of one household can choose what they like, gather at a communal table to dine in a no-fuss environment, and call it a day." - Justine Jones

"Located in Emeryville, the Public Market is a communal food hall offering over 20 unique food retailers that represent the diversity of the San Francisco Bay Area; it's also home to retailers such as Guitar Center and Urban Outfitters and is the site where Calypso Rose Kitchen debuts." - Dianne de Guzman

"I learned that Public Market Emeryville plans to reconfigure its seating when it reopens: the owner sees “unique opportunities” because of the amount of indoor and outdoor space, and intends to remove some tables indoors while adding a significant number of outdoor seats (about 119, with the possibility of more if the city allows seating on an adjacent street). Indoors, they’re considering keeping some long communal tables but marking off where different groups may sit—potentially allowing, for example, a grandparent and grandkids to share a table while remaining at a safe distance." - Luke Tsai

"Offering over 20 unique food retailers that represent the diversity of the San Francisco Bay Area, the Emeryville Public Market houses a variety of cuisines—from poke to ramen to Peruvian—and retail tenants like Guitar Center and Urban Outfitters; it also operates a kiosk program as a proving ground for La Cocina businesses, giving vendors a chance to test working in a high-volume setting and build a fanbase." - Ellen Fort
