16 Best Asian Restaurants near Fremont

“Pho Lan, a true family-run establishment in Fremont, delivers exactly what matters most in Vietnamese cuisine: spectacular, authentic flavor and generous value.

The primary reason to visit Pho Lan is the food, and they execute it flawlessly. The flavors here are deeply authentic, showcasing the care and tradition that only a family business dedicated to its craft can provide.

The Pho: The star of the show is, naturally, the pho. The broth is rich, complex, and clean—the hallmark of high-quality pho. It’s clear that the broth simmers for hours, resulting in a depth of flavor that many chain restaurants simply cannot replicate. Whether you choose a classic rare steak or brisket combination, the meat is fresh, and the portion size is substantial.

Beyond the Broth: While the pho is a must-try, the kitchen excels across the board. The rice dishes are equally noteworthy, featuring perfectly cooked meats and well-balanced marinades. If you're looking for Vietnamese food that tastes just like the dishes prepared in a traditional home, Pho Lan delivers.

Pho Lan offers excellent value. The portions are notably generous, ensuring you leave completely satisfied. In an age where many restaurants are shrinking servings, Pho Lan maintains a commitment to great portion size, making it a fantastic choice for lunch or dinner without breaking the bank.

It is important to manage expectations regarding the dining environment and service. As a dedicated, family-run operation, the entire focus is on efficiency and getting excellent food to your table quickly.

Ambiance & Service: This is not a restaurant built on trendy decor or overly solicitous service. The atmosphere is simple, casual, and functional. Service is efficient and straightforward, reflecting the priority of the kitchen over the front of house flair. If the quality of the food is your main metric, you will be thrilled. If you expect a high-end, polished dining experience, you might need to adjust your expectations. Pho Lan is an honest, no-frills location dedicated to its culinary mission.

Pho Lan is a Fremont treasure. It’s the kind of local spot that deserves strong community support because they consistently nail the most important element: the food.

This was long due- will post pictures next time I visit them.“

“The chichen meal is good. The desert and drinks are good too.
One of my family member is a vegetarian. The store can customize the meal for vegetarians.
The store managers are nice and experienced in doing business.
I buy food from Shihlin every week. It's now one of my favorites in Fremont.“

“My dad went to pick up Chinese food at New Yong Kang, which is where we sometimes eat. We used to dine there years ago, but we normally do that for take out not. We probably just don’t have time to dine in since we have things to do.

It’s been a while since I last visited their restaurant. So I don’t know how it looks like now. I think it’s like other Chinese restaurants, but I’ll have to check it out if I get a chance.

Anyways, the food is good there. They gave us good portions which is enough for a family for at least 4. Some dishes are smaller than ones, which is why we don’t get too much of them. For the noodles, they separate them from other ingredients and we do have to mix them. I guess it’s to prevent spills when transporting the food back home or other destinations.

I’ll have to take a look at their menus and see what they have since I’m not that familiar with it. Again, it’s my parents that usually go there.“

“It was so much food. All of it tasted so good but you definitely should go with 2+ people they usually do not allow on person to dine alone , I got lucky. Enjoyed the little robot who brought out my plates too. Definitely bring your appetite.“

“The congee was very good and rich. No complaints about the ingredients. The place was clean and modern, and the seats were very comfortable. That said, we thought it was a bit too expensive. We enjoyed our lunch and are glad we tried this place, but would be hesitant to come back unless we really craved congee again.“

“Great food! Love ❤️ all that we ordered. And the bubble teas, too“

“Decent restaurant that is very quick with their service.

It felt like each dish tasted just about the same. The wontons and the spicy beef noddle tasted very similar in that the broth was the same. The dumpling and the beef weren’t season too much.

The pork knuckle rice was really good. I enjoyed that very much.“

“I love this restaurant before, because I love to eat anything!“

“Food here is so good. We got the lemon pepper wings, lemongrass chicken, and roti pizza and everything was so delicious. Not greasy and yet everything was well seasoned. Definitely one of our favorite Bay Area spots for chicken now. Just amazing thank you.“

“Fast friendly service and delicious food“

“I accidentally placed a take out order to a different Taos Fresh location on Doordash. It was figured out while I pick up. They called the other location to verify and fulfilled my order in this store. I really appreciate the flexibility and friendliness.“

“Delicious 8 veggie snowflake dumplings! Loved it!!! Thank you!“

“My God, their HONEY WALNUT CHICKEN is ridiculously delicious! I always ask for it extra crispy with the sauce on the side (so it doesn't get soggy) and extra sauce. It's like honey walnut shrimp but with chicken. I also get the beef chow mein mmmmm so yummy!! It's a little bit pricey but so worth it! If anyone ever wants to get me a gift for whatever occasion... This is it! 🥡🥢🍜💕“

“Juicy Crispy Chicken, plum fries, mushroom and mee USA are the must order for me’“

“This place has authentic Shanghai-style desserts and wontons. The flavors taste traditional and comforting, and you can tell they put care into the food. The desserts are nicely balanced—not overly sweet—and the wontons are fresh, flavorful, and very satisfying. It’s a great spot if you’re looking for a taste of classic Shanghai comfort food. I would definitely come back again.“

“Good legit Japanese restaurant. The chicken karaage was very tender and juicy. For some reason it was very spicy. The sukiyaki was ok. The beef was a little tough but tasted good. We also got a teriyaki salmon and assorted tempura. The salmon was a little over cooked. which I expected it to be better. All in all a great place for a good representation of Japanese cuisine.“
