<p>My parents and I are attending Cal Day. Anyone got any restaurant recommendations? </p>
<p>Here is a list from the CalDay website:</p>
<p>Bay View Caf</p>
<p>DO NOT EAT AT THESE PLACES</p>
<p>DO NOT EAT AT THESE PLACES</p>
<p>DO NOT EAT AT THESE PLACES</p>
<p>They are mostly garbage on-campus food.</p>
<p>One of the best things about Berkeley is its off-campus food (conveniently located a few minutes walk from campus).</p>
<p>These great options are located right near campus:</p>
<p>Cafe Milano on Bancroft (i recommend the chicken or turkey sandwich)</p>
<p>Cafe Intermezzo on Telegraph (i recommend the salads/sandwiches)</p>
<p>Steve's Korean BBQ on College Ave. (i recommend the short ribs or chicken)</p>
<p>Most of those are on-campus dining commons, or restaurants. Except for Romona's (very good), or the Golden Bear Caf</p>

<p>Now now, on-campus foods has gone a long way. It use to be one of the worst in the nation 5 years ago. Now it's been winning all sorts of prestigious awards.</p>
<p>Of course, off-campus restaurants are very good. no questions about that.</p>

<p>My standards must be nuts, because despite the fact that all those awards are pretty much bullocks (HONESTLY), Caf</p>
<p>Yup. It was totally different 4 years ago. And even more goodies are coming up (this is insider info since I am a calso counselor ;) )</p>

<p>Yeah, but I am annoyed I have to walk to Crossroads for breakfast in the morning when my own damn Unit's caf</p>
<p>Intermezzo on Telegraph has excellent sandwiches, huge salads, a wonderful choice.......the bread is amazing</p>
<p>Crepes a go go, also on Telegraph is delightful, if you like crepes.</p>
<p>Naan Curry, the other direction on Telegraph is quite popular</p>
<p>Chipotle on telegraph makes a tasty burrito</p>
<p>House of Curries on Durant, across from Asian Ghetto
Asian Ghetto restaurants: Gypsy's Italian, Steve's Korean, Thai Basil
Thai House (Channing)
Smart Alec's (Telegraph & Durant) for "healthy" fast food
Top Dog (Durant) for a great hot dog and libertarian propaganda </p>
<p>But yeah, if you're curious about dorm food, maybe give Crossroads a try...</p>
<p>Just walk down telegraph and you'll find just about every type of food you could possibly want.</p>
<p>Speaking of the Asian Ghetto, try to get a freshly made doughnut from Kingpin's around 10PM. It's definitely heavenly. And the sushi place inside the Asian Ghetto is really good, albeit a tad expensive.</p>
<p>hmmm if you really want sushi.. definitely check out joshuya's.. its located on dwight/telegraph. for the same priced mediocre sushi from place in Asian Ghetto, you can get some REAL quality sushi from joshuya's:) its pretty amazing.</p>
