Saucy Asian - Emeryville

I ordered the Saucy Aisan Poke with a mixed green base, salmon and tuna. It came with spicy marinatade, carrots, slaws, white onions, kimchi gochujang aioli. The fish tasted good, but the overall flavor was a bit too overwhelming. I could mostly taste the sauce in my poke. The portion was also a little for me, so it didn't feel very filling. I also tried their sweet and spicy chicken wings, which were really delicious, it was juicy and flavorful. I highly recommended getting their fried chicken! It was easy to place an order, you can either order in person or use the kiosk machine. The staff were really friendly and attentive.

Located on the Bay Street Plaza in Emeryville, on the second floor next to Barnes and Nobles. Saucy Asian is a Korean fusion restaurant. It’s a trendy place and is pretty busy all the way to closing time. We came in today after shopping at the new Tokyo Central across the street for a late dinner. We ordered at 7:58pm and did not receive our food until 8:26pm which was quite long wait for what we ordered. There is some indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. As for food we ordered: - Saucy Asian Bowl - Saucy Asian Fries - Island Style Poke Bowl (combo: half tuna/half Salmon) All the food were good, have no complaints, but have had better elsewhere. Overall, if we’re in the mood for their food, we would come back.

Even better than I expected. Very saucy yet feels healthy at the same time. Great fusion-style Korean food. I want to come back to dine in and enjoy some soju with the food.

Great customer service. I’m always laughing when I leave out. The food is tasty. Ubaldo is a great cashier, social skills on point. Definitely recommend going for a quick grab and go. Very affordable as well.

First time visiting this area from Houston, TX. We were looking for a place for dinner and found this place. We ordered 3 items, Kimchi Quesadilla and Poke Saucy Asian style and a lychee soju drink. The food was very tasty and the soju drink was very good 👍 😋. It is not too heavy for late dinner. We all enjoy the food, drink and the great companies. Definitely recommend this place for dinner.

Right next to the AMC theater, was just for a quick lunch before a movie, but was better than expected. Our pokes were delicious, very fresh with good products (although too "saucy"). Served super quickly. Draft beers. Nice spots to eat outside.

I come here for lunch when I can. The person that takes my orders Ubaldo hopefully I spelled his name right. But he is super nice and friendly, brings great energy and service every time I come in. The kitchen crew always make my food soo good and take care of my food request. My recommendations are the sausy Asian fries, poki bowl and the cheese steak sandwich. You can pick the option of what protein you would like as well.

Best Asian food in Bay Street imo. The saucy bowl with shrimp was so delicious I had to stop and take note. It comes with clear noodles! I don’t usually see ramyun offered at fast-casual Korean restaurants so had to try it and it was good enough to warrant the price. Would definitely eat here again. Only improvement I can think of is on the music they’re playing - it was a bit too loud for eating inside. It’s not a big deal because the outdoor dining area is nice.

Saucy Asian - Emeryville Every time I visit Saucy Asian in Emeryville, I'm greeted with the friendliest customer service -- they truly make you feel welcome the moment you walk in! The vibe is always upbeat and inviting, with a great ambiance and spotless cleanliness that shows how much care the team puts into the space. I've tried everything on the menu, and every dish has its own unique, amazing flavor. My personal favorites are the Saucy Asian Burrito and the Saucy Asian Bowl -- both packed with fresh ingredients and bursting with bold, delicious taste. The staff here goes above and beyond, and it's clear they take pride in what they do. I literally eat here 2-3 times a week, and every experience is consistently fantastic. If you're looking for incredible food, great service, and a positive atmosphere, Saucy Asian Emeryville is a must-visit!

I judge any food place based on the consistency and their worse days. If a place is amazing one day and terrible another day, that is sign of an issue behind the counter. I have been getting my food here very often and I have to say for a place that serves fish it really has figured out how to keep the consistency there. Fish (raw or not) is harder to keep the quality good, and it is expensive to keep fresh. It's worse days are holding onto a quality that makes the price worth it. It is mainly because I choose it for the healthier choice among the different places in Bay Street. So the extra cost is not issue since I have not regretted eating here. I come here a lot. Sometimes everyday if I am looking for something quick and not greasy.

You can order with the staff or on the kiosk near the door. Utensils, napkins, and soda are self serve to the left of the counter. There's some nice outside seating for a nice day. I ordered the bibimbap. It was good but there was something hard in my bowl. I want to try their burrito next time

I've left reviews in the past. Still one of my go-to spots! My husband and I are here regularly. Everything is delicious. You should eat here.

This place is so good! I always get their spicy poke bowl and my husband gets their saucy Asian bowl, but everything we've tried has been phenomenal. Fresh, delicious ingredients, and the price is very reasonable for the Bay Area. Wish there were more healthy fast casual options like this. Definitely check out Tipsy Putt if you're already at Bay Street!

Saucy Asian is a Korean Fusion restaurant in the Bay Street Mall in Emeryville, on the second floor (where all the food places are) in between the AMC theatre ticket window and the Barnes and Noble. They have a variety of Korean fushion dishes: tacos and burritos with bulgogi (beef) or spicy pork. I particularly like their bowls with bulgogi and fries. Some of their entrees are good for sharing, e.g. wings. They have a variety of spice options, I'm more in the middle of the pack. It's not a new concept but it gets the job done, it'd probably be more considered casual/fast food compared to some of other sitdown restaurants in the complex. You can order on a touchscreen kiosk or at the counter with a human. They also have a variety of soft drinks, Asian soft drinks, beers, sake and soju to choose from. I've ordered from them on DoorDash, I've also dined in. Some of their dishes taste better for dine-in, the fries will eventually get soggy with all the sauce. It's not the best Korean food I've ever had, but it gets the job done when you're hungry and in the area. The cool thing about Bay Street is on their second floor they have a courtyard for outdoor lounging (chairs, couches, some with firepits, an outdoor chess set and cornhole), on a warm day it's nice to be outside and not feel pressured to leave.

Nice quiet place inside the mall. The food was good but pretty simple. I was glad to try it but for Korean food I would rather go to a tofu house. Still tasty though!

This is located at Emery Bay next to Barnes and Noble. A small little place with a coupe of tables inside and some for outdoor seating. The restaurant is counter service. You order from counter and they call your number when the food is ready. Another normal fast food place.

I got the Saucy Asian burrito, which was quite hefty. Super fast to order from the kiosk and little wait for a to-go order at peak dinner hours on a Saturday night. I liked the soy sauce chicken a lot, but (1) I felt there was too much rice in the burrito, and (2) I agree with the other Yelpers that it was a tad bit too sweet. I didn't use any of their provided sauces, as it already felt a bit overpowering. Would like to try their bowls next time!

Loved the California Burrito!! I ordered to-go and waited no more than 10 minutes. Two people could eat with one burrito (unless you're anything like me and pretend that you're going to save the other half for later lol) The outdoor patio area is also really nice, clean, and staff is very friendly.

First time eating in this shopping center. The food scene wasn't as scarce as I had orginally thought. Parking was easy. The first 30 minutes is free. Pros: 1) Plenty of outdoor seating 2) Self ordering kiosk 3) Korean-Mex food 4) Minimal interaction for food Cons: 1) 3% surcharge for using credit card 2) Bulgogi wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped 3) Wings don't match to Korean fried chicken places

Place is hip, out and bad parking , we walked a few blocks to try this place. Their menu is simple and easy to read . I order bibimbap with beef bulgogi and saucy bowl with spicy pork . Choose the bulgogi beef it more flavor and complements the veggies. Their chopstick is good quality and has good grilled hold . I automatically got 2 water cups. I came here with my little bro. Inside is small and they have a few tables outside for eating .

Decent casual and budget friendly meal in a convenient shopping area. I was happy with the amount of meat the tacos came with, but the flavor wasn't super impressive. Didn't expect it to be mostly outdoor seating. The absolute biggest turnoff though, was the 3% surcharge for paying with card, at a kiosk!! Did not see that coming, and it's not like there's any other choice when you order through a machine. I'm really strongly opinionated that restaurants should just include these fees onto the cost of food.

Always fresh, lots of options. Healthy delicious food. Bulgogi beer burrito and saucy Asian salmon poke bowl are my go to's.

Visited Saucy Asian after a morning appointment. I've been intrigued by it since it opened, so I'm glad I finally tried it. I ordered a Saucy Asian Bowl with Spicy Pork. For a fast and casual fusion spot, the food was pretty good! Definitely don't expect anything authentic, but expect Asian flavors and good portions. I would say the portion would work as 2 portions for me! Service was good! I came in earlier than my pick up time, but they asked me about my order and made sure they had it in their system. I enjoyed Saucy Asian overall!

3.5 Stars. Fusion is hard to get right, and this establishment unfortunately didn't deviate from that. The Saucy Asian Bowl, Kimchi Burrito, and the Spicy Poké we got were all tasty, but didn't stand out in any particular way. They were definitely saucy too, but not overly so. As others have noted, the 3% credit card surcharge was quite surprising as well

Food is amazing. Talk about everything on that menu is sooo delicious and addicting. Service is absolutely amazing. They are professional, funny, and fun so its such an great experience to be there every time I eat there. I love the ambiance, the staff make it feel great and great taste in music.

This place is GREAT! Recommend!!! Food: Love it! So far, Ive tried the chicken wings (sweet), the japchae noodles, a poke bowl and bulgogi. I'd order them all again! Can't wait to try other items. Convenience: Love it! I order online, through Yelp, for pick up. I am in and out fast. Middle of the day isnt too packed and customer service is very helpful and pleasant and friendly. Price: Love it! Prices are excellent for the items. One Note to Manager: When I searched for Korean food in Emeryville, this place did not come up. How much more Korean can you get than kimchi and japchae? Anyway, I've shared the recommendation with my coworkers. It's very convenient.

Saucy yummy food Saucy Taco's - bulgogi (extra) - tender ultramarinated sweet bulgogi - topped with plenty of sauce - everything was sweet and creamy - tortilla had a good texture and was not dry at all Saucy bowl (chicken)- sub japchae (extra) - Japchae was tender - chicken was a little tough and dry, less flavorful than the bulgogi but that is to be expected - can't go wrong with the sauce and greens Service at the counter was friendly Atmosphere had good music and variety of seating I would return if in the area, this is a crowd pleaser for sure

Saucy Asian has the great idea of being customizable to your wants and needs. I tried the spicy pork bowl. It came with lots of salad and a little bit of rice. I honestly felt like the portion of pork I got was good, but I had to sift through so much salad to even get to the rice. It had a good flavor, but overall I think it's a bit overpriced. The zippee was like a big caprisun. The service was great though. When we approached the register, we were met with such enthusiasm. Definitely liked the vibe. I would maybe go back and try something else.

Came here for a quick carry out lunch the other day and really enjoyed my meal! Ordered online, which was an easy experience and I got the Tonkatsu Bowl, delicious pork katsu over a bed of rice and side salad with a delicious aioli on top! Pick up was on time and the staff was very friendly upon my arrival. I will definitely be eating here again and exploring different items on their menu, everything looks delicious!

Here's what to look forward to at Saucy Asian. The Saucy Asian features three different styles your food can be served in. Burrito, wrap or Poke weekend brunch, oh and delicious! If you're a spicy food fan this place will grab the attention of your taste buds. I'm a light weight for spicy foods but if heat is what you want this place can get you there. My son's ordered a level 9 out of 10 and we almost called the fire department! We came in from out of town but we put this place on our hit list. There is a lot choices to make on the second floor of this shopping center but what we enjoyed from this place is the depth of flavor and variety. The drink variety is a little lite but they have the standard choices to quench your thirst. There are inside and outside tables to choose from and the turn around was quick for us. The outside tables are in the line of sight if you have kids playing corn hole area. Staff were friendly and helpful in explaining how the ordering process works. There are elevators just past H&M if you require assistance going to the second floor. I will return to this place when the opportunity presents itself.

I ordered the bulgogi bowl and the poke bowl, but it felt like eating rice mixed with mayonnaise... Without the sauce, the taste was honestly hard to imagine.

If you're looking for great food and genuine customer service, the Saucy Asian at Emeryville is a go-to! I ordered the Soy Chicken Bibimbap Bowl and it always hits the spot. Great place to casual relax and enjoy the chill atmosphere. Thanks to Ubaldo for making things happen!

Great place to eat, we go about twice a month! We love the saucy Asian bowl and the burrito.

The service is great, quality ingredients and amazing flavours, always a good spot to grave lunch.

My first time at Saucy Asian and I'm in love! The vibes are awesome and the staff is so kind! Ubaldo recommended the most delicious saucy Asian bowl and provided top tier customer service honestly. I am so glad I chose to have my lunch here!! I will most certainly be back. Thank you Saucy Asian!

decided to eat at Saucy Asian while shopping in Emeryville. We ordered the combo poke, kimchi quesadillas, and kimchi fried rice. The poke was pretty sad, the kimchi quesadilla and kimchi fried rice barely had kimchi. Everything was smothered in sauce and it became really heavy in the stomach. I guess I should've known given the name of this place. The area is nice tho, and they've got more interesting sauce you can try on the table.

I've been here twice and I planning on coming more times! The location itself is very nice, very colorful with plenty of seating outside. There's an ordering tablet near the front door which makes selecting items very easy. Most recently I ordered one of their burrito's (with added crab salad) and it was soooo good! One of the best burritos that I have ever tried. The food has so much flavor and it just makes for a very good meal. Definitely come here if you haven't.

My coworkers and I love coming here! It's always a go-to option. The whole menu is fire. Our favorites are potstickers, chicken, Seoul cheesesteak, tonkatsu bowl.

Service is always on point very friendly overall and the food always hits the spot. If you want a food place that doesn't disappoint and is consistent Saucy Asian is the place to go

Saucy Asian is probably one of the best food options that have recently opened up in Bay Street. I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon after watching a movie at the AMC and the place was pretty empty, even around noon. The staff was super nice when we approached the restaurant and gave us an overview of the menu, including what were the most popular items. I ended up getting one of their burritos to split with my wife, and also a side of fries with spicy pork to share with the larger group. Because I was sharing the burrito, I went inside to see if they had a plastic knife I could use to split the burrito in half. To my surprise, they graciously offered to cut the burrito in half for me in the kitchen, and plate it up separately -- so thoughtful! I also had the opportunity to try out the Korean rice cakes. I enjoyed the spicy kick the rice cakes had and the texture was just right: crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Skip the pizza, ramen, burgers, and other food options on Bay Street and give Saucy Asian a try. I am sure you will find something off their vast menu you will enjoy.

Overall a fun experience! Total came out to $38 after taxes and tip. There are NO bathrooms available as a heads up. The bowl itself was saucy and delicious! The pork was perfectly tender and the rice and other toppings went well with it. As for the Korean ramyun, it was plated nicely but the portions were very small. The only protein provided is an egg, so I added soy sauce chicken which was $4-$5 extra. I wouldn't recommend the ramyun because of the small portions, lack of protein and price point for all of that. Next time, I plan on trying a burrito!

This place was incredible! Not only were the employees patient, friendly, and helpful with recommendations, but the restaurant is so well decorated and the food is amazing. I ordered the Saucy Asian burrito with spicy chicken (no beans or cheese) and it was sooo good. All the flavors mixed so well together and the chicken was seasoned to be so tasty. I think about getting a burrito here again all the time.

Combos just didn't work for me at all flavor wise. Zero spice in almost everything. Spicy pork should be renamed very sweet pork. Just ruined the burrito for me. Fries were underdone. Rice cakes were good. Kinda spicy kinda sweet. Fun chewy texture. Neither of us cared for the Kimchi. Again just sweet. Bummer because we wanted to try this place for a few months.

Great fast, casual spot to grab Asian Korean food. I love their premade bases with the ability to customize with your choice of protein. There were plenty of options, even for vegetarians. Each bowl (what I tried) came quickly and packed to the brim.

The workers were so nice. We were talking a while looking at the menu, but they took initiative to recommend some things for us, answer questions, and showed us that we could order on the tablet. Food was really good and loved the spicy sauce! Burrito was filling and wings were fire. Tacos are better for lunch time. Will be back!

Saucy Asian is such great new addition to Bay Street Emeryville. After a trip to IKEA we decided to check out all of the new shops and restaurant spots that have been recently added. If you haven't been in a while, highly recommend! Saucy Asian specifically is located right in between the movie theater and Barnes & Noble. The restaurant (also has an SF location) exudes vibrance, good eats, and good vibes. With indoor/outdoor seating, we chose to sit outdoors and watch shoppers/movie goers alike. Reminiscent of Seoul, South Korea, the owner's vision is to transport you there for a meal and experience. The menu is so fun with bowls, tacos, burritos, pokè, sides & specials, and fun sips (ice pop drinks, beers from Dokkaebier, and more). We ordered the Cali burrito with spicy chicken, the Saucy Asian burrito with bulgogi beef, and the Kimchi fried rice. With a hashtag #getsauced, we def did and would come back for it! The Saucy Asian burrito comes with gochujang aioli, the Cali comes with a a garlic sauce, and the Kimchi fried rice comes with a kimchi aioli..all equally satisfying and saucyyyy. Would love to return and try the Seoul Cheesesteak, Saucy Asian fries, and Kimchi Quesadilla. Great value for food that's innovative, fresh, and flavorful. As a new restaurant, many kudos & wishing nothing but the best! Can't wait for round 2!

This is one of the restaurants at the Emeryville Bay Street shopping complex. I thought the Asian bowl that I had was pretty good. Order at the counter. Not a lot of seating inside, but plenty of seating outside. The problem we had was that the evening was very cold and windy and they left the doors open to make it more inviting to potential customers. All it did for me was make me cold. I'll have to come back when the weather is better.

I had the saucy Asian burrito with spicy pork. The only hot sauce option is sriracha. Nothing was spicy about the meat and the burrito was overpowered with sweetness, it was not something my tastebuds agreed with. The service is good. There's limited seating inside and there's outdoor seating available. I'm not sure I would make another visit.

Yum! Had the spicy chicken bibimbap bowl. Super good! Love that I could get it over salad. Was sad that they didn't have wine. It was on the menu, but I guess they were out? Aside from the no wine, food was good.

This place is absolutely AMAZING! The door was open so we went inside at 1110 and asked the person behind the counter what time they opened. He said, "I'll serve you" (we found out they opened at 11.30). My wife and I ordered the Asian bowl. Mine with Bulgogi and my wife had chicken and daikon. They were so good. The heat was minimal, the serving plentiful and the seasoning just perfect. I'm no expert on Korean food but I have definitely had my fair share eating at different Korean restaurants throughout the Bay Area and Southern California. This place ranks in the top three (my personal opinion) I went back inside to get a to go container and spoke with the worker. As it turned out he was the owner. He was incredible. He had such a great personality that welcomes you (we felt very welcomed). As it turned out, we have some very similar life values so we hit it off! My wife and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place. We will be back with some friends!

A little disappointed by the volume of rice compared to the rest of the portions. The service was good and the food what's tasty, but all in all it did not leave me with great satisfaction. The dining room is clean and bright. Great location.

If you're looking for a delicious poke spot. This is it! Service is always top-notch and super personable and friendly. I eat here every time I go to Emery Bay. Doesn't disappoint.

We made our way through the rain to check out Saucy Asian for their grand opening. It was around 2:30pm and the line was short. It's located upstairs at Bay Street mall in between AMC and Barnes and Nobles. The place is small; there is limited seating inside and some outdoor seating in front of the establishment. However, lots of outdoor seating around the lounging area at Bay Street. Because it was their grand opening, the second 100 customers in line will receive either beef or vegetable potstickers or Ddeokbokki. There were two of us, so the guy in front said we could each get one. The wait didn't take too long; we were in and out of Bay Street in less than 30min and I didn't have to pay for parking lol (free parking first 30min). I ordered the Saucy Asian Bowl with bulgogi. They gave me a combo with half rice and half salad. The bowl was very flavorful and their bulgogi is very tender. I would get again! My boyfriend got the Saucy Asian Burrito with spicy chicken. He gave it an 8/10 and specifically liked the gochujang aioli. He said he would also get it again. The potstickers were still nice and crispy when we got home! I also ordered the zippee, but it didn't come in a pouch. I had to remind them about my drink because they forgot to give me it. The flavor that day was blackberry lemonade, it was actually really good! They gave us a 20% off coupon for the next time we visit and encouraged us to sign up for the grand opening raffle. Overall, we would definitely come back again and try their other menu items! They all sounded great!

I've walked by this place so many times and I finally decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed! The worker behind the counter was friendly. I ordered the saucy Asian bowl which had generous portions and was really tasty. My boyfriend had the spicy poke bowl which he very much enjoyed. Casual little dining spot with plenty of seating. Can't wait to go back and try other items.

I work on Bay Street and finally made it in. Both people interacted with were so friendly. There are some seating areas inside as well as outside. It's a little loud inside but not so loud to not be able to carry a conversation. The art is really cute. There are so many delicious options, but I only had a 30 minute lunch so I grabbed the Cali burrito with beef bulgogi. I ate it on my way back to my store and it was so delicious. I will probably be returning every shift until I've ordered everything on the menu. If you're on Bay Street, or near Bay Street. I highly recommend. No food pic because I scarfed that mf lol Update: It is one day later and I returned with a friend. We came in about 7:30pm and it was a little slower than mid afternoon like the day before. Had a chance to converse with the owner, he is SO NICE. I ordered the soy garlic wings and the saucy fries, my friend ordered the spicy wings and a Cali burrito. The wings are A+. My friend who eats spicy food on the regular, says they're the perfect amount of heat (which means they'd set my mouth on fire lol) the soy garlic wings were perfect. I would definitely order again. The fries were perfect. Another item to add to my favorites list. We also got a melon popsicle. I had never had one before, but they were so creamy and delicious. What a perfect dinner this was.

This place is so good I wanted to come back shortly after I left. This place is not to be confused with Saucy Oakland (which coincidentally is my favorite restaurant in Oakland). It's between the 2nd floor of Barnes and Nobles and the AMC box office, replacing what used to be a Game Stop. Came here with a friend for the soft opening and we both got the poke bowls. I got literally everything added to mine and it was barely $20. Incredible deal. Large helpings of everything. The fish was fresh. The sauce was delicious. The rice was a perfect texture. The service was fast and friendly. Slightly cramped on the inside when it comes to seating. There's a few spots outside to sit but would recommend adding heat lamps since it's pretty cold right now. Go check them out for sure if you're in the area or you're craving poke. Sooooo good. Definitely going back for the Poke fries ASAP. (I tried to go back last weekend and they were unexpectedly closed :( )

My boyfriend and I were ecstatic to try out their bowls on grand opening day after seeing the captivating menu on their website. They had a promotion for grand opening day and we made it within 100 guests for the free bowl! Food: I got the Bulgogi Saucy Asian Bowl. It had rice, spring mix, japchae noodles, kimchi and gochujang aioli sauce. It was delicious! Everything went well together. The spring mix made the dish taste very refreshing. The beef was sweet and tender. My boyfriend got the Bulgogi Burrito Bowl. It had Spanish rice, refried beans, mixed greens, sour cream, cheese, pico de gallo, jalapeno, and kimchi aioli sauce. This bowl also tasted amazing. I really enjoyed the kimchi aioli sauce and the toppings in this bowl. The beef in both bowls were tender and flavorful, which I absolutely loved. We also ordered the Zippee, which was supposed to come in a bag. The drink was very refreshing and definitely quenched our thirst. I recommend trying this new restaurant on Bay Street if you haven't already. The service was great and the food was delicious!
