★★★★★ 5.0 Isabelle Bart-Williams · Dec 2025

I had the most excellent experience here with both the food and the staff. I got to try their garlic noodles & Cajun crispy fish and my *goodness* was it killer. The fish was expertly fried, beautifully flaky, and easily the best I've ever tasted. The noodles had plenty of garlic, but the savory flavor was balanced out by a touch of sweet that really made the whole dish sing. The food may seem a little pricey, but the quality and the portion size are more than worth the cost. Also, their frozen lemonade is fierce! They have a bunch of syrups you can mix in (strawberry, watermelon, mango..), and I really enjoyed their passionfruit flavor. I'll be going back for the food, no doubt, but the service was what made my whole week. I have some trouble with my hearing, so I often make the mistake

Nestled in the vibrant food Public Market of Emeryville, Tease Southern Kitchen offers a tantalizing dive into Southern comfort cuisine with a modern twist. On my first visit, I was immediately drawn to their fish plate, which turned out to be a standout dish that truly blew me away. The fish was super fresh, perfectly seasoned, and fried to a golden crisp that retained its flaky tenderness inside. Accompanying it were equally impressive cajun fries – hot, crispy, and well-seasoned, proving that even the sides here are treated with care. Curious about portion sizes, I asked the cashier how many pieces the plate comes with, and he explained it features one whole fish cut into three generous portions. This transparency was appreciated, and the execution was exceptional, making it a highligh

Great comfort southern food, the garlic noodles are delish, I had mine prepared with the fried chicken and my mother had the cajun fish. Generous portions, great speedy customer service, and awesome atmosphere. I also recommend you try the frozen lemonade to go with your meal, I got pomegranate and it hit the spot. Definitely will return when I'm back in town. 10/10 recommend!! Thanks for the good eats Tease!

I ordered the garlic noodles and the honey chicken for $26.18. The portions are very small. The Chicken was overcooked and dried out the garlic noodles are OK but for $26 the portions could be a lot bigger

Delicious Spicy Hot Chicken ask for the Spicy. Had the Salad and did not disappoint. Wonderful customer service, smiles and cheerfulness. A welcome edition to Emeryville. Also had an ice slushie machine. I enjoyed a Red Raspberry. Delicious.
