“I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect butter chicken/chicken tikka masala and I’m happy I found this place. I ordered both extra spicy, both really good. The containers weren’t marked so I’m unsure I don’t know which one is which. I prefer the one with cubed chicken, if you happen to read this would you please tell me which one it is?”

“Very good food with good service. Definitely, recommend for a visit”
Sushi • $$
“The fish was very fresh and absolutely delicious. I will definitely be coming back.
The only suggestion I have is regarding the tableware. I think using ceramic dishes for the soy sauce, plates, and tea cups would enhance the overall dining experience.
The quality of the food is excellent, but using plastic tableware makes it feel less consistent with the price point and takes away from the overall experience. Of course, this is just my personal opinion.”

They play golden age 80s-90s kpop which I loved.”

“The food is always delicious, the coffee hot, and they have the best desserts! My favorite server is Darla...when she's not running for an order, she always has a kind word and a smile! Unfortunately, there are a few other servers that grumble and talk in Spanish to the cook and other servers, which is rude and disrespectful to your customers that don't speak that language!😒 (I know Gloria does it a lot.). The manager is always helpful too. So kudos Black Bear Diner!”

The lox was fresh and flavorful, perfectly paired with a soft, toasted bagel. The combination of cream cheese, capers, and red onions added just the right balance of flavors. It's a harmonious blend that left my taste buds dancing with delight. The service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance was cozy. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this place has got you covered. I can't wait to return to try more of their offerings.

Seemed like a popular spot for locals and the owner was soooo nice!!!

Tea • $$
“This place was a hit. It was a little hidden gem that my daughter and I stopped in after catching a movie at Southland Mall. They have a variety of tease lemonades and Boba drinks even some iced coffees as well and if you’re hungry, they have some appetizing snacks that you can grab like chicken strips french fries that you can have toppings of garlic fries or other seasonings and if you want something sweet they have something that I love funnel cakes. My daughter has something called a waffle on a stick, which is something that I’m interested in trying next time. The Nutella was creamy and it was warm and it came with a little side of vanilla ice cream. She loved it. It looks so yummy. I wish that I had gotten one as well. I can’t wait to go back and if you’re ever in the area, you should definitely stop by and grab one a bonus was that the girls were super knowledgeable of the menu and had plenty of tips to recommend. I only ended up getting a fruited lemonade, which was so good because the toppings inside were made from fresh fruits not those that were sleeping in syrup. I can’t wait to go back and try something new. The girls that worked there were super friendly and they provided great service.”

“One of the best burgers ever had in my life. Forget about In & Out Burgers. Be very honest, Val's burgers are pricey, but well worth it. If you like Super Duper burgers 🍔 😋, these might beat them. The fries & milk shakes are great too. The only down fall are take-out & cash only. Is not a problem for local, but people who travels might be tougher for them. They might want to wash their hands or use the restroom.”

The employees here are really friendly and helpful, and it has a great relaxed atmosphere.”
American • $$
“Tried this place yesterday at OTG: Fort Mason. After eating a bunch of other unsatisfying food I just wanted one chicken tender no sauce. Yes one chicken tender. There was a bit of a wait but I was so happy after eating.It was juicy, flavorful and the breading was well seasoned and had a nice crunch to it. The service was friendly and even they still offered me sauce during my pick up. They probably thought wth, but that is truly what I just wanted haha. Anyways try this place!”

“I've been going to The Mexican for years. The food was top notch with an awesome tequila bar. I went in last Saturday, Dec. 21st, 2024 at 5pm and it was empty. That in itself seemed strange. We got seated. No water. No Chips and Salsa. We received menus and that was why it was empty. You're paying for everything at 25% to 45% more than before with many meals and all Combinations GONE. To get a Taco, an Enchilada with Rice and Beans was $38... That's INSANE... We walked out and sadly will never return... He's the same reason Buffalo Bills was a ghost town at 430pm on a Saturday. Went there the day before and it's the same - prices 25% to 50% higher. Out of 3 popular beers. No milk. Menu changes for the worse. Miss Bill and the good food and great atmosphere that used to be since 1983. Another spot I'll never go back to...”

“I really enjoyed my lunch at Pho Tai! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. I’ve been coming here regularly and have always had a great experience. The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and everything tastes authentic and satisfying. Definitely one of my favorite places to stop by for a good meal!”
Sushi • $$
“This place is worth a shot! We did AYCE on Sunday afternoon and were seated immediately. The price matches the quality of the fish similar to kaiten sushi. The service was really kind and quick. There’s an easy online ordering system after they took our initial order.
Appetizers:Get the takoyaki! Good balance of ingredients. Skip the karaage and shrimp tempura — it’s too much batter and gets hard/tough instead of being light and fluffy.
Rolls: The Cherry Blossom roll was our favorite with the tuna and salmon tasting fresh. The scallop king roll was skippable - it was just a warm California roll.
Everything else: Fresh salmon sashimi. The Omakase box was good - definitely a must order. The Walu tataki is a skip but maybe it’s just that the texture wasn’t for me.”
Chinese • $$
“My long time place for delicious chinese food. The dumplings are good: try the lamb with zuccini and chicken with spinich for a real treat. The dim sum is the best in the Hayward area. Oustanding dishes are: cucumber with garlic and fungus, salt and pepper chicken wings, tender vegetables with filet fish, string beans with chicken, Egg Foo Young (unbeliably great), walnut prawns, won ton soup, knife cut chow mein with mixed meat and shrimp. All portions are large and properly packaged. I only do delivery orders with BEYOND MENU who favors local businesses so I have no rating for servive or atmosphere. This place is a find!”

“With the rating I was worried about ordering from this location.
Ordered on a Saturday
Was pleasantly surprised that both pizzas came out really well made. Garlic knots were on lock too.
Staff was quick to switch task when I got there to help me out. Friendly.
The place seemed overall clean.
Who knows maybe the B or C crew just ain't pulling their weight, but my visit was good!”

“The staff lacks maturity and were unable to assume responsibility for charging for 3 additional children. the staff went as far as reporting that I went the register and ordered several cards. I never went to the register until into was time to pay because the host brought the cards directly to me. They went as far as Giving me specific times that they said I was there at the register. ONE person arrived on time. so why would I make additional requests prior to tue arrival of my guest. Management, both named Jocelyn need to be reprimanded for the reporting they reviewed cameras and that it resulted in me being untruthful. I will be making a statement to cooperate to discuss the lack of honesty and poor quality of leadership those two possess.”

Chicken Wings • $$
“Buffalo wild wings was a hit a fellow Mom and I took our daughters here for a lunch date after school on a Friday. Surprisingly, we walked right in and were able to be seated. Our server came and at first it seemed as though there was going to be a bad service experience as it started off with a little confusion. However, it was swiftly corrected and we were back on track. The kids ordered boneless chicken with fries and a drink, the mom and I enjoyed the create your own app and of course we both enjoyed a margarita after a long week. And oh boy, the margarita was excellent. The peach flavor that I asked for was sensational. I can’t wait to go back to order another one. Our food was good. It came out all at the same time so we were all able to eat and enjoy our time together, we did order the chicken buffalo dip as an appetizer, which was yummy as I had never experienced that appetizer before definitely a good place for fast, friendly service and good food. If you don’t know what you want because they do have a lot of nice options. The only thing that was a downside was our server did not recommend any type of specials or deals the boneless chicken wings fries and a drink. We’re about to be ordered separately and make our bill almost triple however, I happen to turn the menu over and saw that there was a special that the girls could actually select what they were paying for separately at a higher amount as part of the deal so we had to ask for the items to be made under the deal. Otherwise the server would not have offered that to us. I’m not sure if she was new and wasn’t aware of the daily menu special that appears to be every day or if she just did not want to offer it in order to help boo sales either way, it was kind of disappointing”

“I can not recommend Parker's Crazy Cookies more highly!!! Not only are the custom designs perfectly spot on, but the cookies taste great, and their customer service goes unbelievably above and beyond! I was simply blown away! I had inquired if a gift message could be included in our order and Bogdan, on his own, actually found several very appropriate cards, emailed them to me for approval, and then hand wrote our desired message! I can't think of another business who would go to all of this effort! We were in communication multiple times at all hours and even on weekends, regarding cookie design, card design, shipping dates, and more. He is incredibly responsive, such an exceptional person, and truly delivers on his mission to bring joy to this world... I certainly felt it and am still touched. This company truly stands out!”

“The food is always delicious, the coffee hot, and they have the best desserts! My favorite server is Darla...when she's not running for an order, she always has a kind word and a smile! Unfortunately, there are a few other servers that grumble and talk in Spanish to the cook and other servers, which is rude and disrespectful to your customers that don't speak that language!😒 (I know Gloria does it a lot.). The manager is always helpful too. So kudos Black Bear Diner!”

“Highlights:. The restaurant diningroom was clean but the kitchen could use a tidy up. Now it was dinner time so there was a bit of a wait but we received nice fresh n hot chicken sides and biscuits, even our french fries were hot! The down: someone ordered a chicken sandwich in there order and when picking up at the counter I over heard that they were out of the product. It would of been nice to know at the time of the ordering they were out instead paying and finding out later. Grant it, it was busy but I did over hear the supervisor several times attend the cash register. I am Latino and I know Spanish, but there was a lot of talking going on in the kitchen. I believe out of respect for the customers talking should be to a minimum. This could be the reason for their inefficiencies.”

“Burrito was one of the best I've ever eaten. Every ingredient was super fresh. Definitely try all the the sauces, which are handmade. I could eat the smoky jabañero for days. I don't eat meat, so didn't sample the tacos. We had the lime cucumber agua fresca, which was a delicious, a cooling contrast to the spiciness of the burrito. Pro tip: Park on the main boulevard in front. We didn't realize it was a stand at first and accidentally drove through the car dealership.”

“I traveled from Kentucky to San Fran this week for work. With the insane hotel prices, I ended up making the trek to stay in Hayward. I was going to grab a cold beer from the store, and I could smell this place from 2 blocks away. Absolutely amazing
I hadn't eaten, so ordered the mega (3.5L) burrito. I usually avoid them, because theyre always just stuffed with rice and beans.
This was not the case with this burrito. Jam packed with carne asada, guac and Pico as well. I told them I liked extra spicy, and they added some chili's in there for me as well.
They also have 4 salsas that are fantastic. They were parked outside of the liquor store on sycamore.
Give these guys a try! Ill be coming back to try other items when I come”
“Best Indian Restaurant in Hayward. Food is so delicious and taste amazing. We tried Briyani, Garlic Naan, Noodles, MoMo(Dumplings), butter chicken and everything was amazingly delicious.”
