“Ambiance - 5/5 Great experience wit unique decor, the dining area gives off the old street vibes for sure. When you walked in, immediately you are greeted with this nice Chinese decoration. Even their mugs are unique and give the old street vibes.
Food - 5/5 we ordered some skewers, malatang and tomato beef brisket noodle soup. I said their malatang is the best and the highlight here. We ordered the mild spicy Cheng Du soup base that comes with less soup and serve on a big platter. The broth is clean yet super flavorful, tasty with a good strong hint of spice. The heat level was just nice for us as we get to enjoy the broth without the numbing/burning hot effect.
Their fried tofu and quail eggs skewers are seasoned just nice and only complained is the portion is small as I was expecting more than 3pieces of tofu per skewers. But then again these are not the normal cold tofu (it's the better grade, chewy version).
We ended with their rice cake. It's so good and addictive. I couldn't stop eating and have to hold myself back to save the last piece for my family. It's crunchy on the outside but super light and airy inside (unlike most other rice cakes which are usually fairly dense) And very soft and chewy.
Service - 5/5 Very good, observant and attentive. They provided us with extra napkins without us having to ask for more.
I will for sure come back again.”
“I like their chicken chili and mutton biryani. They are quite consistent with the taste of their dishes so that's the best part of this restaurant. They also have nice interiors as well.”
“My husband and I ate here just before Christmas. We recently moved here and Papillon came highly recommended. Everything from the freondly staff to the Delicious food was perfect. We even got the chance to meet the owner. Such a wonderful place.”
“Traditional and authentic Hunan and Sichuan food. Blueprint of a typical Shanghai restaurant.”
“This is an excellent family-friendly restaurant. We have been visiting Dino’s for breakfast regularly, and this new location, owned by the same people, is a wonderful addition. It’s a great spot for lunch, dinner, or happy hour. All loyal customers of Dino’s should definitely give this place a try.
A note for vegetarians: they offer excellent vegetarian options as well.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“First time here. Spoke with the owner who recently did additional renovations to the restaurant. Ordered their Chile Rellenos for lunch. Tasty and good sized portion with a reasonable price. Interior decor is very rustic with a horse theme throughout. They even have life-size horse statue in front. Great for families. Very casual with an extensive open bar area. Free parking in front. Very good Mexican cuisine. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed.”
“Place is clean, staff is helpful and had pleasant, smiling faces. Sushi was amazing. They have good vegetarian options. At the end of our meal they gave us green tea ice cream. It was on the house and it was delicious.
I'll definitely go back.”
“Delicious and Fresh! Every dish at Garam Mirchi tastes homemade with fresh ingredients and authentic spices. The paneer fried rice and the Hakka noodles had a great smoky flavor. Definitely recommended!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“we've been 3 times in the past few months and every time was great. we went the day after my wife's birthday, the same day our pet passed, and the staff made it a very special experience and distraction from our loss. absolutely recommend 110%. great food, great people, great experience overall.”

“I finally found the shawarma I was looking for! For more than a decade I have searched for doner kebabs that prepare meat like the ones they do in Paris (the way the Moroccans and Algerians make it). And these folks do wonderful shawarma / kebabs. We ordered beef gyro, chicken gyro and crispy chicken burger. All of the food was 5/5. We were greeted by a super kind gentlemen named Aziz who made us feel at home.
I totally recommend this place. Will come back to try their chapli kebab next time.”
“Been coming here for years. Food and drinks are great. Specialty coffee drinks and their seasonal ones are well made and fun. Plenty of seating. Late-hipster meets art deco charm. I believe this place use to be a bank.
I usually get the Black Forest mocha which is basically mocha with raspberry.
Safe space for BIPOC and LGBTQ, which needs to be called out.
Corner shop with plenty of sunlight on one side with dark and cozy in the other.”
“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Consistently Amazing Sushi & Warm Hospitality!
I’ve been to Sushi Ken in Fremont several times now, and every visit has been absolutely fantastic. This place truly never disappoints. The staff—both the servers and the chefs—are always so welcoming and kind, which makes the dining experience feel extra special every time.
One of the first things I love is the free appetizer they serve right away—usually edamame, fries, or sometimes both! It’s such a fun and tasty surprise to start your meal. The sushi itself is delicious and always priced at a great value, which means I usually end up ordering several rolls (no regrets!). The best part? The service is fast—my food always comes out quickly, with hardly any wait time at all.
To top it all off, they bring you a free scoop of ice cream for dessert, which is such a thoughtful and sweet way to end the meal. It’s those little touches that make this spot stand out.
The atmosphere is also really nice—spacious, clean, and with plenty of seating. It never feels cramped or rushed. Plus, it’s located in an outdoor shopping center with plenty of parking, which makes it super convenient.
If you're in Fremont and craving sushi, Sushi Ken is a must-try. Delicious food, unbeatable value, kind service, and a welcoming space—it checks all the boxes. Highly recommend!”
“Delicious burgers with options to suit all tastes. They have beef, chicken, and veggie patties as well as some without Pakistani spices for picky eaters like my daughter. They also have loaded quesadillas with fries and their signature spicy sauce which are amazing. They also have a good variety of shakes. We’ve had the mango and the Oreo Never Boreo.”
“The food here was amazing, but the service here was outstanding! Kai had such a good demeanor while serving us, and treated us so warmly.
We got Spicy Bulgogi with Kimchi Fried Rice and Fish Cakes as an appetizer, and the overall quality was great!
Only feedback- maybe have some desserts! I know that’s not a staple, but would be nice to have some items.”
“We are from Connecticut, and during a recent trip to the Bay Area, we had the extreme good fortune to try the Afghan Awasana Kabob House. Oh my ... what an experience! The food was superb … an epicurean delight, but also plentiful, and very reasonably priced. The qabuli palow - a lamb shank dish was a standout, and the squash bolani - a stuffed flatbread was out of this world. The owner was very friendly during dinner, only to be surpassed by what happened after our dinner. Upon leaving, our car would not start. The owner offered to jump start our car. When that did not work, he offered us a ride back to the house where we were staying ... which we gratefully accepted. On the way, while we were thanking him profusely, he indicated that this was not an imposition as he routinely gave rides to his workers. I was moved to tears with his generosity. The Afghan Awasana Kabob House stimulated my palate, satiated my appetite, and above all, nourished my soul with renewed faith in the kindness of humanity. A truly memorable evening that will not soon be forgotten.”

“Zhangfei Hot Pot is such a great spot!
The ambiance is lively and welcoming perfect for a fun night out with friends or family. The broths are packed with flavor, and the variety of meats, seafood, and veggies is fresh and high-quality. Everything tastes even better when you cook it yourself at the table. The staff is super friendly and attentive, always making sure you have what you need and explaining the menu if it’s your first time trying hot pot. Overall, it’s an experience that feels both authentic and enjoyable. Definitely recommend checking it out!”

“The BEST pizza in Fremont!!! I moved from that god forsaken city in 2020 and the only thing I miss is Mission pizza. It's the very first stop we make when coming back down to California. We've always experienced amazing customer service interactions in all three locations that they've had. The pizza has also always been on point. Now I'm mad because it's 440 miles away and I'm craving it. (please open one in Oregon...they have crappy pizza up here 🥺😭)”

“Came here for the first time for Sunday lunch. I’ve been to several of the other more casual Dish&Dash restaurants in the chain and the menu is the same, with similarly tasty food. You order at the counter and they give you a beeper that alerts you to come pick up when your food is ready. There was an indoor patio and they allowed me to bring a dog. Huge interior.”
“First time here. Spoke with the owner who recently did additional renovations to the restaurant. Ordered their Chile Rellenos for lunch. Tasty and good sized portion with a reasonable price. Interior decor is very rustic with a horse theme throughout. They even have life-size horse statue in front. Great for families. Very casual with an extensive open bar area. Free parking in front. Very good Mexican cuisine. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed.”
“Solid, but weird, place. Straight out of 1965 America. Everyone who works there is exceedingly nice, kind and attentive but they're also straight out of a David Lynch movie. However, the eggs, the hash browns, the toast and the coffee were right on cue. All good, classic diner.”
“I have not been dissapointed once with any menu item I have ordered. The best chimichangas I've ever had. The staff is friendly service is fast. I highly recommend this restaurant.I will definitely make this place my go to❤If you haven't been here yet you are missing out!”
“Delicious and Fresh! Every dish at Garam Mirchi tastes homemade with fresh ingredients and authentic spices. The paneer fried rice and the Hakka noodles had a great smoky flavor. Definitely recommended!”
“Easily one of my favorite authentic Chinese places in the bay area. Try their dry pot. It's Chongqing style so fairly spicy but you can control spice level.”
“My boyfriend and I frequent this place regularly and every time we have the food, it’s still amazing! The Seolleongtang broth is always rich and the meat is very tender. We’ve had some other options like the clay pot Bulgogi which is flavorful, and also the Galbijjim (my favorite). The staff is also so friendly and welcoming!”

“Very authentic Shanghainese style food. Spicy soup noodles can sure test your ability to stand hot food. Steamed and fried dumplings, and Xiao Long Bao are must-eat items. Appetizers like jellyfish and stewed spare rib chunks are highly recommended. Mr Song is the owner. He is ever friendly and efficient. This place is a rare find on East Bay.”
“Decent, if not generic, place for Vietnamese food. I had the pork chop with broken rice and it was pretty good. The restaurant itself looks pretty rundown, however, with a lot of the decor being leftover pieces from the thai restaurant that occupied this space several years prior to Pho Lan. The ceiling also has a lot of visible mildew and sealant or something spread around that makes it look like it's in the process of being renovated, and the overall atmosphere is slightly dull. Other than that, however, it's quite clean. Staff was super friendly, however, and service was fast since there was only one other person other than myself there at the time as it was a weekday. Overall, it's worth checking out if you're in the area and are craving Vietnamese food.”
“food is delicious. staff is so friendly and so supportive. They have the best vegetarian food in bay area.. I would recommend everyone who read this message to try at least once...I have done catering from this place and owner and staff have done great job...good job guys keep it up..GOD BLESS”
“This spot is super tiny but busy so ordering ahead is a pro tip. There are not any tables for eating, just a counter.
I enjoyed the egg-salad sandwich with ham, cucumber, corn, and buttered wheat bread quite a lot. The pork bulgogi onigiri had great flavor, and I was quite impressed by the inventive wrap that separates the nori so that it doesn't get damp.
I was not quite so excited by the bacon kimbob, in part because I like my bacon crispy and this wasn't quite there. It's also quite dry.
Other Rice Junkies in the Bay Area have a specialty wrap with macaroni salad and a range of sauces, but this seems to be the first one that they're experimenting with toast-based items more. I did not try the Issac toast, which is their signature item here that features an omelet inside of bread. I would go back to try that.”
“Great food, large portions at a great price. Has a mix of foods, Thai and crepes. Aa to the crepes they have combinations I’ve not seen before, i.e. Indian inspired. Staff are very pleasant. Offers indoor and outdoor seating.”
“Yo, just hit up this spot the other day and gotta say, it was pretty solid. First off, the service was quick – like, I ordered on my phone and bam, food was ready before I even knew it. That's clutch.
They also got this cool little fish tank and some chill lighting that kinda sets a nice mood, you know? Not super fancy, but definitely adds to the vibe.
Now, the food itself was tasty, no doubt. Just a heads-up, it was maybe a tad on the salty side for my taste. And one other thing – they use bamboo skewers instead of the metal ones. Wasn't a big deal or anything, just something I noticed.
Overall though, I had a good experience. Quick, easy, and the place has a cool, laid-back feel. Would def check it out again.”
“absolutely the best sushi I've had in a long time! the staff is super friendly, I will definitely be going back!”
“Special Noodle Restaurant is authentic and the food is delicious! The atmosphere is fun and has a good vibe. Although you order on your phone, the service is really good and delivered promptly. We ordered the Tomatoe Shrimp, side of eggplant, and the House Special Braised Pork Belly with Noodles. Delicious!”

“See here the difference from this jack in the box to all out there is because they have all the sauces layed out in the front and you can take as many as you like and the lady was super sweet with a nice behind I mean behavior ? still looked clean well service and it's a nice spot off the 880 later my ”
“Breakfast Burrito best that we ate. Customer service was great. Place was clean customers in and out they are all serve with the smile. I salute to the manager on that day he himself at the counter serving a lot of customers. We are all satisfied our morning starts awesome.”
“The Jack in the Box on Fremont Boulevard near Irvington is a great spot for a quick bite! I was very happy with the taste of the food and the excellent service from the staff. The location was impressively clean, which made the experience even better. While the prices are slightly higher compared to McDonald’s, the quality of food and service makes it worth it. There’s enough parking available for everyone, and the location is fully accessible for individuals with disabilities. Overall, a solid choice for fast food in the area!”
“My husband and I come here very frequently for two reasons - the food here is really good, and there’s a really nice uncle (owner) who greets us at the door with a warmth that reminds us of home.
Everything we’ve tried off the menu has been really good, just like street stalls from Mumbai.
Our favorites are the kala khatta and kashmiri soda for drinks, chole kulcha, misal paav, tavaa pulav, and chaat for veg food, and shrimp sukha and fish thaali for meats.
This place is must visit if you’re from Maharashtra and are tired of eating North Indian at every Indian restaurant you go to.”
“Bob Sang Restaurant is a hidden gem near the Tesla plant in Fremont. So far, I've tried the Galbitang, Kimchi Jigae, Bulgogi, Spicy Pork, and the latest is Seoul Style Bulgogi – really great with very tender marinated beef – tasty!
Very friendly service with the small side dishes happily refilled. This restaurant has found its way into my list of regulars.”
Takeout Restaurants
“This seasalt oreo sooo good it has to be pre order at least 2 days. They also have 4” cakes. If you want a fluffy not too sweet cake and freshly made this is highly recommended. But you have to pre order especially on weekends as they are always booked with lots of orders so the cakes mostly sold out. They also make beautiful custom cake I saw them boxing it and that is what I am planning to order next time. Izumi Cakes thank you for making our celebration enjoyable with this tasty cake🥰”
“I ordered the Chilli Paneer Pizza from Currypizza and it was absolutely amazing! The flavors were spot on – perfectly balanced spice with the delicious taste of paneer, and the crust was fresh and perfectly baked. The combination of Indian spices with pizza was unique and so satisfying. The staff was friendly, service was quick, and the overall experience was excellent. Definitely one of the best fusion pizzas I’ve had – highly recommend Currypizza!”
“Zhangfei Hot Pot is such a great spot!
The ambiance is lively and welcoming perfect for a fun night out with friends or family. The broths are packed with flavor, and the variety of meats, seafood, and veggies is fresh and high-quality.

Overall, it’s an experience that feels both authentic and enjoyable. Definitely recommend checking it out!”
“It's small, so the wait for a dine in table can take a bit, but the food quality is worth the wait. Our family has loved everything we have tried. this is one of a handful of local restaurants my 10 year old some will never complain about!”
“Great food, large portions at a great price. Has a mix of foods, Thai and crepes. Aa to the crepes they have combinations I’ve not seen before, i.e. Indian inspired. Staff are very pleasant. Offers indoor and outdoor seating.”

“My favorite taco truck has been my go to spot for over 12 years. They serve amazing al pastor that's always juicy and flavorful. My usual order is a regular burrito, taco with plenty of their delicious pickled carrots, grab a bag and pack a good amount in there they’re so good! The service is always quick, and the staff are consistently friendly and welcoming. It feels like home, and the flavor has stay perfect over all these years.”
“It’s a hole in a wall. I ordered the adobo pusit, bansilog, sinigang broth and tocilog on two different occasions. None took away my breath. They were mediocre. The same as the surrounding Filipino restaurants. However, the owners’ friendliness and genuineness were apparent. Both sisters on two separate occasions, stopped at my table and engaged in a warm conversation, making me feel like a beloved family. I felt like I was being served at Nobu. I asked if they had coffee and she said she can make me one, which was not part of the menu, plus it was’t included on the final check. The black pipping hot coffee was in a paper dixie cup, but tasted better than coffee in Brazil. This personalized and attentive service ensured a positive experience, despite the food.
Overall, this hole in the wall offers a welcoming atmosphere and friendly owners. The food might not be the primary draw, but it’s a great choice if seeking a comfortable spot with excellent customer interactaction.”

“Being a vegetarian and never trying Ramen I was bit unsure, but Sojo Ramen had the best Veggie Ramen available and I was able to customize it to my liking.. honestly it tasted like a nice warm maggie noodle soup and quantity was also good. Other options with shrimp etc were equally great”
“Special Noodle Restaurant is authentic and the food is delicious! The atmosphere is fun and has a good vibe. Although you order on your phone, the service is really good and delivered promptly.

“Food is by far superb! A must try and check out the place. Food is C delicious you will love it and waiters are extra friendly”
“Enjoyed the live music, food and drinks were reasonably priced and the service was great. Although we didn't sit at the bar the server was still very attentive. Definitely would be back.”
“Absolutely amazing Sichuan food! The flavors are bold, authentic, and perfectly balanced between spicy, numbing, and aromatic. The Boiled Fish was tender and flavorful, and the Spicy Chicken was crispy outside, juicy inside — pure perfection. The restaurant is clean, cozy, and the staff are super friendly and attentive. Generous portions at very reasonable prices. If you love real Sichuan cuisine, this place is a must-visit!”
Cheap Eats
“Online ordering here was a breeze. Unlike other places where I feel pressured to order more or lack the convenience of online options, this spot made getting dim sum straightforward.
Food: The dim sum was warm and steamy, and the quality was solid. My only gripe was the limited menu—no shrimp rice rolls or fried shrimp crescents, which are some of my favorites. If you’re happy with staples like Shiu Mai or Har Gow, you’ll enjoy it.
Service: No issues. I picked up my order by name, and that was it.
Atmosphere: The setting is simple and casual, with a cafeteria-like vibe. It’s good for a laid-back meal but not for anything formal.
Overall: It’s a decent spot with a smaller menu. Two orders of dim sum were enough to satisfy me, and I’d come back if I was in the mood for a quick and easy dim sum fix.
Parking: There was so much parking here on a weekend morning.”
“A weekday-only bagel shop run by a couple who used to manage bigger chains. Their everything bagel with house-smoked salmon and chive cream cheese was the highlight of my morning. The bagels were dense, chewy, and perfectly toasted. They offer gluten-free options, too. The tiny shop has a few stools—expect a short line around 8 AM”
“The sushi here is seriously good - fresh ingredients, creative rolls you won’t find anywhere else. The Fuji Roll? Absolutely delicious. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly, even if the vibe inside feels a bit cramped and could use a deeper clean. It’s a small spot, so I’d recommend takeout or delivery over dining in. For the quality of food though, it’s worth it.”
“Curry Pizza House in Fremont has quickly become my favorite pizza spot around. The unique fusion of a classic pizza and powerful flavors of Indian cuisine has left me feeling addicted! Creamy rich sauces and/or aromatic spices warm you to your soul with every bite. They also have classic American style pizzas that don’t skimp on the same quality. A+ sides and wings too. The staff are all kind and attentive. The restaurant is clean and open with beautiful murals on the walls! If you’re looking for quality or a taste of something you’ve never thought you’d find in a pizza place, Curry Pizza House in Fremont, CA is your next stop.”
“Best food ever great service been to all three highly recommended 😋5 star's definitely”
“I met the owner when I went in there the other day. He was very friendly. The entire staff are nice people. Good, interesting craft beers. Good food. I recommend the fish and chips. I would call it a neighborhood gem.”
“Very refined modern takes on Japanese food. The food is first class, service is great, and love the sake! Considering the incredible quality of the food, the price is very reasonable. If all you want is your typical California Rolls ect, this is not the place. You get a wonderful Omakase menu here. Definitely recommend Soho for those looking for great, and non-typical Japanese food.”
“Went to this spot on Sunday and ordered three King Kong-size pizzas — Chipotle, Mexican, and Mixed — and let me tell you, they were incredible! Each pizza was massive, easily feeding 10+ hungry people (and probably more). The flavors were phenomenal — perfectly balanced, fresh, and full of flavor.
The owner was also one of the kindest people we’ve met. He went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests, and when he found out we were visiting from out of town, he even surprised us with extra food!
If you haven’t tried this place yet, you absolutely should. Everything is 100% halal and HFSAA-certified, the place is clean, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommended!”
“awesome food and ambience … forgot my wallet and the staff is kind enough to give me a call back once they found during deep cleaning over the weekend. Thank you to Urmila for safeguarding the wallet”
“We always enjoy dinner at Olive Garden. Recently we were here with a group of people and everyone liked the experience.
Breadsticks are always a good idea! We also had various Dips for the bread sticks. In appetizers we had Spinach Dip which was tasty and good quantities too.
Two of us shared an entre of Make your own Pasta. By the way, if you are planning to share it, it's better to tell them while ordering so they will bring it in separate plates.
Service was good even though it was a busy day. However out of 10, only 2 people were coming in another car and they were a few minutes late to the restaurant, others were all present but we still had to wait for them to get a table. So just a heads up for your reservations, that entire party should be present at the restaurant on time.”
“We went here to celebrate our daughter's birthday. We all enjoyed our meals very much. They have a great wine list with several wonderful Napa/Sonoma/Healdsburg/Paso/Livermore choices. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We would visit again.”
“Mr. Lau's Steak House (劉月鐵板.居酒屋) provides authentic Taiwanese-style steak meal, which left me feeling happy after eating it. The set meal includes black pepper rib eye steak (8 ounces, medium rare), lettuce salad, garlic bread, an egg, and spaghetti. The price is so inexpensive and the meal is so delicious. I definitely will be coming back again and again!”
“Amazing food and great service. If you are looking for true authentic tacos this is the place to get them”
“Chi Xiao Guo seems to be gone. Now it’s Liu Yue Teppanyaki Cuisine. They don’t sell hot pot in summer, but the Teppanyaki cuisine is also delicious. It’s very similar to the signature Teppanyaki Noodles at Taiwan’s night markets. Love! Definitely will come again : )”
“We are big Thai fans and this little gem was a win. Food was good quality and the real star of the show was the service. The team made sure we had everything we needed and kept water and drinks topped up. I requested my entree customized and they accommodated with a smile. Atmosphere in the restaurant was nice and it’s great for both a casual dinner or one with family.”
“the sushi is amazing especially the spicy mango. when we had the wrong order they apologized and gave us sushi and icecream on the house which was surprising. The waiters were incredibly nice and welcoming too.”
“Today we said a sad goodbye to the last Fremont Resident of the Williams Family😞 Pops was so loved and appreciated and it showed today at his services ,though I didn’t go to the burial for the fact of I couldn’t see my Best Friends Frankie’s Ashes being buried with his Father & I find out after that they didn’t lower the casket until everyone was gone 😞I did go to Coaches today and ALL I kept finding myself doing was looking for Pops or waiting for him to walk in as that is where I would always meet him rather if it was for him to get in on my football pools or to change the motor for his windows of his Mercedes or some type of work to his car no matter what it was for that was where you could always find Pops with his hotspot papers in one hand a a cold Bud Light in the other 🥃cheers 🥂to you Pops your going to be missed by so many as you already are love you Please give my love to Mom Kevin and my brother Frankie 🙏🏽🙏🏽 RIP Frank Williams Jr.”
“Good food, close to Kolkata taste but sorshe ilish was not good at all. Rest are nice. Misti doi is awesome- must try”
“Great spot for Shanghainese food. First time I came here was after going to the KTV next door, and have returned many times since. My favourite items are definitely the xiao long bao and mapo tofu. The portions are fantastic especially considering the reasonable prices. The staff are polite and service is quick. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out.”
“Great plafe for sushi. A smaller shop in a strip mall. Employees were ver attentive and professional. Food had healthy portions and everything tasted great 💪💯👏👏”
“Wow....., it was quite better than my expectations.... I hoped I had found this place sooner when I lived in the area!!!! Away due to work, I came back for a quick visit to see my brother at the Holy Spirit Catholic Church(father Binh). We went out for lunch and since he liked Korean food I picked this one due to the close proximity to his church, and it was surprisingly good, I mean, not like Americanized; they kept great Korean flavors and taste, and Korean service attitude!!!!! A gem in an unexpected neighborhood ✨️ Will definitely come back whenever I come to the area!!!!”
“I haven’t been back in years but I’m glad to see my favorite crab roe noodles be added here. I still stand that the xlb here are better than the ding tai fung ones and will def be back for more to try the new menu items such as the XL xlb”
“If you’re craving KBBQ, Hungry Cow is a must-try! We got the premium AYCE to sample a bit of everything, and it was 100% worth it.
All the meats were tender, flavorful, and high quality. You can really taste the difference. The side dishes were just as impressive — especially the kimchi and cucumber kimchi. And the steamed egg? Incredible. Not your typical KBBQ steamed egg — it had shrimp, mushroom, truffle, and masago, and it was packed with flavor.
Our servers, Soterry and San, were amazing — super attentive and always timed our next round of orders perfectly. They also changed our grill plates often, which we really appreciated.
To finish off the meal, they offered a selection of Melona ice cream bars, which was such a fun and refreshing treat.
We left completely full and very satisfied with both the food and service. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!”
“Customer Service 👍👍👍👍🔥 Food 👍👍👍👍🔥 Thankful and was Blessed to eat some delicious Food. Came from Vallejo to eat at one spot and then ended up here.. Great Choice!!!”
“I went to Chacha go with my daughter in law last week. I got a strawberry black tea with boba (25% sweetened) and it was delicious. Boba was just right. I'll be wanting to go to Chacha go again next time I'm in Fremont.”
“With the server speaks both Mandarin, Cantonese and English in wonderful fluent level. I could tell many customers around my table are having a great time. That puts a positive and exciting atmosphere for the night immediately, we ordered lobster sushi, Hokkaido scallops, and sweet shrimp especially by seeing the tempting picture online. It did not disappoint at all with the huge portion of meat. Not only that, their salmon roll became a new favorite for my son who never liked cold food. We truly appreciate the caring female server who helped us tirelessly throughout the evening.”
“We like the small Japanese restaurant environment here. This evening we have the Kampachi kama, Negi Toro hand roll, hamachi , amaebi, bluefin tuna. Everything are so good!”
“FYI: this is not a hot pot restaurant and the parking is a quick right turn before the fence
I came across this shop after seeing reviews and photos about the meat quality. Yummy Fresh in Fremont is a hidden gem that offers restaurant-quality hot pot meats and ingredients at a fraction of the price. The best part is that there’s no tipping like at restaurants, making it even more affordable. Everything is fresh, well-packaged, and perfect for a hot pot night at home. Highly recommend for anyone who loves quality without the restaurant pricing.
The owner is friendly and knows a lot about meat quality. Just ask him, and he will help you pick out options. There are both hot pot meats and grilling meats available. The quality of the meats are really good, and I know my meat as an avid BBQ and hot pot lover. There are also snacks, drinks, hot pot seasing, some veggies, and a lot of other things to choose from. It's a great idea with no lines, no tips-- just do it at home with the best quality meat.”
“Kinda my favorite place til recently. Waiter F’d blamed me. 4 dined, we gave our order. 1 person changed their order, so 3 meals ended up being the same, then there was mine. They ended changing my order instead of the other person, he argued with me until he realized he messed up, never said sorry, and then still got my order wrong by cook my salmon well instead of veggies, which they forgot to add, but I paid anyways, to go.”
“We go to this place routinely. It’s a nice restaurant, plenty of parking ( may need to walk a half a block ), food is good, authentic taste ( which comes with its own oily / greasy preparations)
The service if quick and on the weekdays. Recently we went on a Friday and Saturday for dinner and omg! It’s the same level of staffing on the weekend as the weekday .. service was excruciatingly slow. The staff was running around on steroids since they couldn’t keep up. Normally we are in and out within one hour .. weekends it took us 90 minutes to get done with the food and another 45 minutes to get the dessert.
There was a group of 4 ladies on the next table celebrating a birthday. They probably were waiting to get their food for as long as we were .. the manager came and asked them to leave since he needed the table for the next party who was waiting.
To the management - increase your staffing levels including the kitchen. For a regular meal with the family, 2.5 hours is a very long time.
We are not going back on the weekends.”
“Great food! Love ❤️ all that we ordered. And the bubble teas, too”
“Satomi - Thornton. Went here around 2pm Saturday. No wait and got our food and drinks right away. Fast friendly service. We ordered Tempura mixed, Satomi roll, Japanese cowboy, Spicy crunchy, and Fremont. All orders were flavorful and fresh.”
“Best Chinese BBQ in Bay Area. The BBQ is carefully with properly balanced of juiciness and external roasting coating. Great dishes as well. The owner is a great singer as well if you come Sat to see his performance.”
“Wow. Why only 2.4 stars ? They must of just opened cause this is way better than wing stop. it was so good my god my tastebuds just had an orgasm ! Yes I’ll be coming back if the food stays fresh like that !!! Gotta wipe my mouth ? lord.”
“Great Sichuan food and great atmosphere. I got five dishes and I recommend all of them:
- Tender Beef in Spicy Sauce
- Kung Pao Chicken
- Pork Fried Rice
- Dandan Noodles
- Dry Cooked String Beans
If you’re not a fan of spicy, feel free to omit the Tender Beef in Spicy Sauce, but you are truly missing out.
Service was also great! Very attentive and kind :)”
“Amazing place for yakitori food, chef Sherman really knows quality and simplicity for yakitori food. I highly recommend this place especially when you get togethers with great friends. 5 stars out of 5”
“Very traditional Cantonese style, foods are delicious and fresh, this place seems always busy, better to call first to reserve your place if you don’t want to wait for your table.”
“I was out with Triple T, and Eightball, not really bustin things up, but we weren't holding anything back either, and we ended up in Fremont of all places! Well, it not our fault because those pesky Oakland Pinkerton boys told us to get on the hwy going south and don't come back! Anyway..We found Strizzi's Italian Restaurant where we were welcomed like long lost family, and had an Amazing dinner. 5 ☆☆☆☆☆”
“Best food ever great service been to all three highly recommended 😋5 star's definitely”
“A local joint in Fremont better known for their fresh and wide variety of AYCE sushi! Its pricing is reasonable, the proportion is good, not too heavy on rice, and staff is friendly and efficient. We absolutely love the nigiri’s here!”
“The dim sum portions were all quite generous, and everything tasted great. It’s definitely worth trying a variety of dishes. The only downside was the BBQ pork bun—the dough was a bit tough and could use some improvement. But everything else was absolutely delicious!”
“Started frequenting this bar because of the karaoke. Dj is wonderful and does not oick favorites like most karaoke places.. Super awesome atomosphere. Dart boards and lots of places to sit. Would've been a 5, but no pool table. Other than that, the bartenders are great and the people are great. Definitely my favorite in the tri city area.”
“Typical Taiwanese meal for anytime of the day. Homemade taste definitely brings back childhood memories. It’s on the lighter side and somewhat makes me feel healthier or not as guilty for dining out, perfect for those who want to take a break from hearty foods.
Friendly and super fast service. Variety of dishes to choose from and never running out things to try out, which make me a returning diner to this unique place.”
“The mac and cheese is the best, hands down! The brisket sammy is really good too.”
“My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our meal here. we got the kalbi meal set and it was so delicious. the waitressses were so friendly and attentive. loved it! will definitely be recommending this spot to anyone who loves homemade korean food”
“Highly recommended, I enjoyed the food and hospitality. Look fwd to taking friends and family here. 4300 Great America pkwy Santa Clara new local spot to eat”
“Great food. Very nicely prepared, tasty and served hot. Vibe is hotel lobby restaurant vibe. Service is slowish and our particular waitress seemed to be on the tipping point.”
“I was searching for a dim sum place and this restaurant’s name came up with decent reviews. I went there but found out that they no longer serve dim sum, only the regular Chinese food menu. We ended up ordered congee and lobster noodles and those were quite good.”
“Love this place! It's open late, food is great, portions are big and the atmosphere is chill.
Would recommend the grilled chicken sizzling plate. They have a lot of options so you have to try a few to know what you really like.”
“The food is always good here but the physical restaurant is slowly declining; the place is dirty and lacks upkeeping. When BK first opened, one can classify it as a slightly upscale “bistro”. Now it’s just another run down Chinese restaurant.”
“Food is extraordinary ! We tried the platinum thali all the items were so delicious! They gave complimentary poori for kids . Service is so nice they kept coming for refills ! Overall worth visit .”
“The roasted whole lamb is awesome and tastes well with the chilli powder and fresh garlic/onion slices. Just one minor suggestion is to provide some lemon salt for those who can’t take spicy food.”
“my first time here. I really like it and the service is awesome!🤙”
“Delicious! It was my first time and since I love Italian and I dian good it was a great combination. I wish there was a place like this close to home him NJ!”
“Si, lo recomiendo la comida es 10 de 10 y el lugar es muy limpio y son muy a tentos con el per sonal así que no lo dudes en venir te lo recomiendo sal dras feliz y satisfecho”
“I ordered $9.99 of the Really Big Meal for a Big Classic Bacon Cheese Burger. I thought the meal might be not a big portion, it is just advertising but actually, it was a great meal with a big beef patty including fries and drink.
Really incredible meal that I will definitely order this $9.99 the really big meal soon.”
“Best afghan food place period.
Try the triple combination and potato Bolani (You're welcome). Unbelievable quality and taste is like no other. Seriously!
I only do takeout, there's no dine in and the restaurant is not the same. So take it to go and picnic at a nearby park
Pro-tip: Bring cash”
“GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE+1(8O5)-41O 5OO2 NO NONSENSE AND GREAT ASSISTANCE!!!”
“We came really late and didn’t know they were already closing and cleaning up. But the manager was super cool and said he’ll still make our order. Everyone there was super accommodating and nice and we felt really bad to be here so late. Thank you, we’ll be coming back!”

“This is an amazing restaurant! Their food is great. We’ve catered big orders from them twice, and they’ve never let us down—their prices are fair, and they’re always on time. They have a wide variety of halal options, and their staff is personable and friendly. 10/10 recommend.”
“We are from Connecticut, and during a recent trip to the Bay Area, we had the extreme good fortune to try the Afghan Awasana Kabob House. Oh my ... what an experience! The food was superb … an epicurean delight, but also plentiful, and very reasonably priced. The qabuli palow - a lamb shank dish was a standout, and the squash bolani - a stuffed flatbread was out of this world. The owner was very friendly during dinner, only to be surpassed by what happened after our dinner. Upon leaving, our car would not start. The owner offered to jump start our car. When that did not work, he offered us a ride back to the house where we were staying ... which we gratefully accepted. On the way, while we were thanking him profusely, he indicated that this was not an imposition as he routinely gave rides to his workers. I was moved to tears with his generosity. The Afghan Awasana Kabob House stimulated my palate, satiated my appetite, and above all, nourished my soul with renewed faith in the kindness of humanity. A truly memorable evening that will not soon be forgotten.”

“Upon entry, I found the associates courteous with their smiles and slight bowing from the waist. A very Asian trait that, on top of the recording of the music of internationally renowned Arjit Singh in the background, added authenticity to the place. The servers were professional yet very warm and friendly. I ordered the flat bread with broccoli and onions, with a request to tone down the spiciness because of a previously bad experience with Indian food in San Diego. The flat bread was served hot with the delicious aroma of the spices wafting from the generous helping of the round bread that filled the entire 12" diameter pan! I was able to see and enjoy the taste of both the broccoli and onions in the flat bread. It was even served with a side of sliced fresh onions in vinegar and soy sauce together with another side of white sauce that tasted like cream of broccoli soup. Everything on the table, including a complimentary mango-with-yogurt drink, was a perfect blend, and I did not have to drench the table napkin nor my shirt with my sweat due to the level of spices tolerated by Indians but excessive to non-Indians. They gave me, a non-Indian, a spicy meal that I relished earlier this evening! Kudos to the entire staff!”
“Kush provided extremely good service ensuring that food was good.
Jain sandwich could be pricey considering there is only few ingredients and also lacking some flavor. But overall many choices.”
“The vibe here is really lively. You can feel the desi atmosphere as soon as you walk into Chandini Chowk. We ordered Samosa Chaat and Pani Puri. The Samosa Chaat was delicious, packed with chutneys and yogurt. The Pani Puri comes with different types of water, and you get eight pieces to choose from flavors like mint, khatta meetha, kala khatta, pineapple, and mango. I really liked the khatta meetha pani the best. The chaat came out quickly, but we had to wait about 20-30 minutes for the pani puri. The best part is that we didn’t have to wait aimlessly, it was well organized with buzzers.”
“Solid, but weird, place. Straight out of 1965 America. Everyone who works there is exceedingly nice, kind and attentive but they're also straight out of a David Lynch movie. However, the eggs, the hash browns, the toast and the coffee were right on cue. All good, classic diner.”

“Interesting shop that sell primarily chicken feet.it is small store with the display of all the flavor of chicken feet and you can try any one of it. It is boneless chicken feet. It just opened couple months a go. It is not easy to find as the store name Hao Shi Ji. You order using the touch screen kiosk. It also has stand at Great mall.
Beside chicken feet it also has the rice and mince pork rice.
There are 5 variant of the flavors. For me the spicy one is good. There is also spiciest level. Pricewise I think quite high. It is unique experience.”
“Honestly one of the best places my wife and I go too. Always make sure to stop by whenever where in the area amazing food big quantities and a great price what else would anyone want? Only issue is there isn’t one close to our house, please expand to the Central Valley 😁”
“Nov 9 2025, our first time here. We only tried 2 drinks but they were great! They have snacks like a bubble waffle, I'm sure it's tasty. Cool atmosphere, not too loud, you can have a convo without telling. The place is clean, there are a few tables (regular & high tops) that fit up to 4 people, ada accessible. The employees are nice, she answered my questions about the drinks. We got 1) the Mochi milk tea (black tea) 25% sugar, the whipped topping was added sweetness to milk tea as well, I prob could've did 0% sweet and still liked it and 2) Caramel Coffee Latte (iced) 50% sweet & added boba, the coffee flavor was really good and the light & airy crunchy caramel thing they add in was really good too! Great price point on the drinks too. $5-$8 bucks. We'll be back for more!”
“Visited one evening with friends after reading reviews online, and I wasn't disappointed at all. The biryani for sure is the best in Bay area. The mandi reminded me of the mandi at Barkas area in Hyderabad and the chicken 65 and chicken Majestic that I order as take away for my room mate was also amazing.
The owners are friendly and open to suggestions, I happened to meet them. I would like them to open a bigger place, it seems popular and can get very busy so I think a bigger place might help.”
“We headed to Chaiwala Shop right after visiting Chandini Chowk. They offer a fantastic selection of desi vegetarian dishes, including snacks, kullad pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, Maggi, pasta, shakes, chai, and coffee. We tried the Peri Peri Veggie Burger and Penne White Sauce Pasta, both of which were delicious. One suggestion for improvement would be to avoid serving the hot pasta in a black plastic to-go box for dine-in customers; it’s too hot to be served that way. I’m not sure what the reasoning is behind it, as the portion sizes aren’t so large that people need to take them to-go. I noticed the pasta was cooked in a healthy stainless steel pan, so it seems odd to serve it in a to-go box. Overall, all the dishes tasted great. If they maintain the quality and flavor, they have a bright future ahead!”
“we've been 3 times in the past few months and every time was great. we went the day after my wife's birthday, the same day our pet passed, and the staff made it a very special experience and distraction from our loss. absolutely recommend 110%. great food, great people, great experience overall.”
