The Kilohana Grill is in Emeryville is the best place I can think of (outside of Hawaii) to get a delicious ‘plate lunch.’ They make awesome Kalua pork (as well as chicken and BBQ beef) served with scoops of rice, sauce, and macaroni salad. On the weekends you can go there for breakfast to satisfy your Spam and egg desires. Sometimes they also make malasadas — the Portugese version of a donut covered in sugar. It’s too bad you can only get them on the weekend. Often, I see workers from the nearby Oaks Card Club stopping in for a quick bite to go. This little slice of Hawaii is great to have around. Mahalo.

Tiny little Restaurant Furenzu is a hidden gem in Emeryville. Situated on the last little piece of Adeline Street, Furenzu is housed in the same space that for many years was Moon’s Chinese Kitchen. Furenzu is a small plates Asian restaurant with no more than 15 seats. Try their rib dish which has been on the menu from day one. The owner, Cynthia, is always trying out different combinations of flavors, textures, and ingredients. Order up a bunch of stuff for the table and fill up on your favorites.

Townhouse Bar & Grill looks like a shack from the outside. And at some point the entire neighborhood did too. But the neighborhood’s been renovated over the past twenty years and the inside of this hidden gem has been too. The Townhouse is a great place to eat as well. Serving a continental menu, there’s something there for everyone.

Last night heading over to Emeryville to see Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (it wasn’t at all as lame as the critics made it seem) we stopped at one of our Bay Street favorites Zao Noodle Bar. The movie was nearly 3 hours long and by the time it was over not too many places back in our ‘hood were still open for dinner. Zao is always a good choice. I like the Vietnamese rice noodle bowls and Susan had a nice Thai style coconut milk /lemongrass chicken soup.
