Great spot to meet up with friends or family where everyone has a choice to pick from including a bar for drinks. There is plenty of indoor seating and parking across the street. On days when I am with people and not sure what I want to eat this is the spot I come to!

Just to comment on one aspect of this place, I found their Tuesday trivia to be a multi-dimensional…read moredisappointment. First off, the company behind it, Brainstormer, seems to ask the most weird and obscure questions of all the quiz chains -- think museums in Madrid, or Slovenian bikers -- as if they want you to fail. Scores were pretty low across the board. It was a constant struggle to hear anything the host was saying, largely because he insisted on wearing a mask. He also had a somewhat curt, unfriendly demeanor. Brainstormer was probably the best a decade ago, but something seems to have gone wrong with them along the way. Whoever's in charge of events should consider switching to Head Games, Geeks Who Drink, Live Event, or Pub Trivia Nerds.

Sucks that a good chunk of the businesses advertised for the food hall no longer exist like Uji Time (was looking forward to this), but hopefully these empty spots can be quickly filled up! There's a good variety of food places such as dim sum, Taiwanese food, boba, Korean croquettes, and much more. My boyfriend and I came here before the lunch rush and although parking was a bit iffy already, there was a good amount of seating and tables available and everything was relatively clean. Some businesses I think just call your name, others have a buzzer. Would be cool if they had a water machine there, or if there was I didn't see it. Hopefully there can be a new dessert place here in the future and more businesses to take over the empty spots the next time I'm here.

The good thing about this place is your party can pick what kind of cuisines they want and everyone in your party can decide what they want to eat.

It was worth every bite. Definitely stop in. The Lafayette location is open later than most local pizzerias. They have cute outdoor seating as well as a small free parking lot. What I thought was a nice touch is the free fully stocked water station. I think in the summer heat this comes in handy. Must try-Loved it!

Swan's Market has been a staple in Old Oakland for a long time!!!…read more I used to come here long before my Yelp days quite often. There used to be live music here sometimes (I think there still is, sometimes) and the market has small restaurants and even a place to buy uncooked food, Parking in Old Oakland can be a challenge depending on when you come, But this place has indoor and outdoor seating available, and the vibe here is very Oakland!!

Vacaville Premium Outlets is one of those places we had driven past for years on trips north and…read moreback without ever stopping, even though we had heard plenty about it. We finally decided to make a dedicated shopping trip out of it, and I was honestly surprised by how large the outlet center is. There are well over a hundred stores, ranging from designer brands to more everyday retailers, so it's easy to spend an entire day there if you're not careful. We quickly realized it was best to focus on a handful of stores rather than trying to see everything. We ended up visiting places like Clarks, Adidas, Levi's, Banana Republic, and Gap. Every store we walked into had impressive sales for selected items or for everything in the store. Some of the prices were the best I had seen in a while. I walked away with two pairs of shoes and a pair of pants, though still nowhere near as much as my significant other bought! Overall, it turned into a fun and relaxing day. One helpful tip: it's an open-air outlet mall, so visiting on a nice day definitely makes the experience more enjoyable.

After I got tired, I realized I hadn't even covered half the center. Well, if you enjoy shopping, plan on a long day and you might wanna make a list of the stores that are of high interest. I don't think it's at all possible to visit every store in the center in one day. Overall, I like this outlet center a lot. It took a bit more travel time to get here, but certain stores are pretty unique. I inadvertently ended up at the far corner of the center, which sure made parking really easy.

There is a large Asian themed grocery and several small shops as well The only negative about this mall is the public restroom.

Heavy Emeryville Police presence with at least 6-8 patrol cars parked within the perimeter. Definitely felt safe and when asked why so many officers on July 2nd they were responding to an alert that there may be groups of young people planning disruptive mayhem in the evening. This was our first time visiting and checked out some of the stores and shops with Tokyo Market being a highlight as well as sitting outside watching the closing moments of Columbia defeating Ghana in the FIFA games. Would we come back? Probably not since we live on the other side of the Bay but it was a nice visit arriving around 6:45 in the evening. 3.5 stars rounded to a 4 overall.

I ordered 3 boba drinks, and unfortunately all of them had very hard/firm boba :( The food is quite good, though -- I got some salads and the chicken sandwich -- the chicken sandwich was deeeelicious and I would totally get it again.

Maybe I'll get this in the near future and give the boba another try... hopefully it was just an off day with the undercooked hard boba :( Service is great, though - very friendly staff, and the online order I placed was ready super fast! I took my food to go, but there is nice ample space inside for seating.
