Emeryville Public Market

Vegetable Bowl at Sorabol Korean in Emeryville Public Market.

Been meaning to check out Emeryville Public Market for quite a while now, but given the maelstrom of traffic congestion nearby known as The Emeryville Horror (where 80, 880, 980, and the Bay Bridge approach coincide), it's been hard to work something out. It's not what I expected at all, which was more like a mall food court. Nah, this is an old industrial building with character, and a bunch of food kiosks that have quite a bit of fabulous fare on offer.

Every one of these places looks great.

I've been to two of Koja's locations. If you eat pork, you gotta try their Pork Koja. Futuristic.

I've just found out from a friend that works nearby that this is his favorite place. Next, I'll for sure try it.

So we ordered a 3 entree plate from this Indian kiosk. Check out all the pots--I believe they're on glass-covered burners. Love the matching pots color-coding. We got a Lamb and Goat Curry, and some nice Okra. I highly recommend the Goat Curry.

OK, so I checked out Sorabol the other day at Westfield Mall, which was most superb (Beef Bulgogi, very tender). However, on this visit we got a Vegetable Bowl, mostly Banchan Pickled Vegetables typically served as a prelude to a Korean meal.

Everything was spot on: Kimchee, Cucumbers, Broccoli, Greens, Chile pickled Daikon & Mushrooms.
