Tease Southern Kitchen in Emeryville offers comfort food with attitude, focusing on bold flavors and tight technique. It is located within the vibrant Emeryville Public Market, providing a casual dining experience. The restaurant also offers online ordering for convenience.
Customers frequently praise the Cajun crispy fish for being expertly fried and flaky, and the garlic noodles for their outstanding, perfectly seasoned, and balanced flavor. The lemon pepper wings are also noted for being fantastic and not dry. Service is often described as fast and very friendly, with staff going above and beyond. However, some reviews mention that the mac & cheese can be inconsistent (sometimes lacking a baked top cheese), and the lobster add-on was considered overpriced for the small portion size. Portions for some dishes, like the honey chicken, were also perceived as small for the cost.
Tease Southern Kitchen has previously operated in other locations, including Antioch and an Oakland spot that is now closed. They offer a variety of 'fierce' frozen lemonades with mix-in options like strawberry, watermelon, mango, and passionfruit. The ordering process often involves a kiosk with pictures, which customers find helpful for making choices.
The restaurant is open daily from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm, making it suitable for lunch and dinner visits. As it's located in a public market, it's likely to be busy during standard meal times.
