Dining While Black

Landed here last Friday with a friend as we walked and walked around looking for food. We apparently walked too much, because by the time we arrived at this place, it was looking like a God-send and we were happy to rest and re-up our energy levels. I’d like to start off with how kind…

Try The Noodle House if you are ever in the north Richmond Area of the EastBay. Their flavors are above standard, to me at least. All of their meat is high quality and tastes like it was perfectly grilled. ALL of their meat, and I have tried most items on their menu. The proteins are…

Happy Girl Kitchen made me sooo happy the first time I visited them, that I went back the next day and took my whole family. Based in Monterey, CA their food is scrumptious and healthy and the vibe here is warm and welcoming. The team that works here is heavily invested in the success of…

What a lovely restaurant I discovered on vacation. I was able to feed my youngin, and she loved the food. We got the typical chicken tenders and fries- that kids get, but the food was actually super good. I ordered the roasted beet and pear salad for my self, along with their tomato and rice…

Thank you for getting it right. We order here whenever we are down on the coast, and are in need of hearty breakfasts for our family. This place is so sweet. Their food is top of the line and their staff is caring and compassionate. Even though we ordered food to be delivered, we could…

I had to try this veggie burger again, on a whole other separate occasion JUST to be sure that it was all that it was…and it WAS everything that I needed it to be. Housemade veggie Pattie that was not like fake meat at all. it was a plant based Pattie that looked healthy and…

Trying to feed young people ~ away from home is always a challenge  (foods that they recognize and crave).  Well, I am always on the lookout for hearty kid friendly dishes that will fill my kid up.  Sapporo Sushi and Steak House was just what the Dr ordered- while we were on vacation in Monterey…

Stopped by the Vault Cafe earlier today to grab myself a fruit smoothie. This place is a standard diner that cranks out pretty good food. I was impressed that they had some healthier options like fresh fruit smoothies to offer. As I entered to grab my to-go order, I was warmly greeted by a busy…

I say quality over quantity – just to highlight the amazing ness of this restaurant’s food. However. They get points for quantity too. This is that top shelf, date nite, special occasion, high level Chinese cusine. This place is the best!! their meats are high quality and their produce is crazy good. Located on College…

Your manchengo cheese sandwiches with the wilted arugula, spiced with salt pepper and red pepper flakes has been saving my life lately. I’ve been ordering that for delivery along with some kind of fresh and seasonal salad that they offer. The latest has been a watermelon with mint and diced tomatoes in it. there may…

Yesterday I found myself out and about enjoying the clean air finally. It has been hard to be cooped up inside while our neighbors are on fire. I needed a break from the monotony of quarantine so I took a walk near the university, UC Berkely. There is this darling little corner cafe on College…

What a lovely restaurant this is. Nice and airy, open and private all at once. Warm staff who caters to your dining party, and amazingly delicious food. I can’t wait to go back here. Tucked within walking distance to the beach in Pacific Grove, CA, the Fish Wife serves up California / Italian comfort food….
