“Enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant, was provided excellent service and hospitality, and the food was amazing.“

“I have been coming here for almost 14 years. And I would not change this japanese restaurant for another. Ambiance, food price, friendliness the taste of the food is wonderful. Like my mom always says : bueno, bonito y barata. Good, wonderful, comfortable prices. You won’t be disappointed!!“

“They’re reliable! Been going here for about 8 years now. It seems to be ran by a Chinese couple there, very kind folk. Always a smile on their face when I see them. It’s a super no-frills hole-in-the-wall call—ahead type dealio. Our regular items are:

1. Beef chow mein
2. Beef or house chow fun
3. Fried Rice
4. Beef and Brocolli
5. Sweet and sour pork
6. Fried pork wontons
7. Shrimp egg foo young - recent pick-up

& some refrigerated Dr. Pepper cans! Call ahead about 15-20 minutes and they’re always pretty good about getting done by then. Sometimes I wait a little extra but it’s because they’re a bit busy for dinner time.“

“Im a big fan of their Phò, grilled chicken and shrimp vermicelli and their pastries . The staffs and owner Alice are very attentive and go their way to know their customers/guests. I highly recommend La Patisserie“

“We've entrusted Erik's Deli to cater several of our events. Most recently, we requested they provide 25 box lunch meals on a very short timeline. The Erik's Deli team were more than happy to accept the order, super responsive, accommodated our special requests, and had our order done early! We couldn't ask for better service.“

“I ordered the make-your-own-pasta bowl with fettuccine and marinara sauce. The breadsticks were amazing and the pasta was pretty good. Our waitress was really nice and we got our soups in about 3 minutes. Even though they didn’t have fettuccine on their make-your-own-pasta bowl, she made sure I got it free of charge. The main course came about 5 minutes later. Overall it was a nice experience.“

“Take out or Delivery app only.

This little shop is great. Food is fresh, delicious, and plentiful. do Kinda wish they had a lunch-box meal where it's a half portion of their rice meal with a drink (I feel like I need a nap)“

“Food was done quickly and it tasted amazingly delicious.“

“The best pho / Vietnamese place in the area. We stumbled upon this cute place en route home and loved the food. Super quick service, fresh delicious food, polite, caring host & server who took her time to explain the dishes. Even though we entered to sit & eat right at about closing time, service was amazing!

Vegetarian options: Not too many vegetarian options“

“Love Erik's Delicafe, very healthy foods! You must try this place“

“Pho Lan, a true family-run establishment in Fremont, delivers exactly what matters most in Vietnamese cuisine: spectacular, authentic flavor and generous value. While this isn't the spot for a luxurious, white-tablecloth experience, it is hands down the best place to find truly delicious pho and rice dishes in the area.

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.

For authentic flavors, generous portions, and truly delicious Vietnamese cuisine—from the masterful pho broth to the flavorful rice plates—Pho Lan is highly recommended. Come support this dedicated family business and enjoy some of the best Vietnamese food Fremont has to offer.

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

“The food is delicious no matter what you eat, The owner goes above the call of duty to make you welcome! Great hospitality love it !!“

“It’s like the most legit Chinese food cooked in the area. I could tell the chef was properly trained and brought the flavors from sichuan. Love the rice noodles, and all the side dishes are decent. This is like ten times fancier than the rice noodles from hunan mifen in Newark. They also have amazing beef rolls, sesame balls and the seaweed salad was really good too. The new mixed cold rice noodle with string beans is super good. (Apologies I didn’t take very good photos the food was like half eaten. It looked better when it was served)“

“I got number 14, the broth and noddle came out hot and super delicious. Only one type of meat on here but tasty. Overall very welcoming atmosphere and server was nice and friendly. Clean eating area with lots of tables and a big table for a big family size to eat also.“

“This is now my third time eating here and I absolutely love it. I've never tried the food before eating here and it's so delicious. I would highly recommend eating at this place I love the garlic noodles with beef 🥰. I'm going to start learning to cook food like this 😋.“

“Awesome sandwiches and very friendly service ! The ruben was delish and the broccoli cheddar soup good also ! Will definitely go back again ! I forgot my pickle though, darn ! Was chatting so much with the friendly lady up front, I totally forgot to make sure they gave it to me ! Oh well, next time ! I'm hoping business is good for them and they can stay for a long time !“

“Best sandwiches! The garlic sauce makes the sandwich. The avocado is so fresh!“

“They have good food here and they still open“

“Highly recommended!!

This was my first time trying Olive Garden, and everything was amazing. I had one of their homemade soups as an appetizer, it was so flavorful. I also ordered the Herb-Grilled Salmon 😋 and it was absolutely delicious, definitely a 10/10. The Chicken Alfredo was really nice as well.

The whole staff was welcoming and polite, especially our server Andy. Thank you for the great experience! 🙏🏽“

“GRATE SANDWICH 🥪 NICE SERVICE FRIENDLY STAFF“

“My personal favorite dish is their House special pan fried noodles. The portion of this was insane, this itself can feed 4 people. Love the vegetables, squid, shrimp,…. on top of the noodles. The toppings are cooked with this slightly thick sauce which drenches the fried noodle making it some parts of it crunchy and some of it soft/soggy. I grew up eating this dish and so I’m almost always ordering this dish.

My second favorite dish is their honey walnut shrimp. This is always a hit at every family dinner I have and so I just had to order it. Their shrimp had a bite to it and a bouncy texture. It was cooked perfectly.

Everything we ordered:
- $20.95 Honey Walnut Shrimps
- $25.95 Beef cubes and scallop with teriyaki sauce
- $24.95 Pickled dried vegetables/Braised pork belly with sweet potato leaves
- $20.95 House special pan fried noodles
- $19.95 Salt and pepper pork chops
- $9.95 Marinated tofu“

“As always the gyros (beef/lamb) were awesome, as were the fresh pitas & hummus. We do always remove the fries in the gyros bc they're just a filler IMHO & I think they take away from the rest of the flavor. Better to add some cucumbers & olives instead. I did get an extra steak skewer on the side this time for my Dad & he was disappointed as it was VERY dry, that's why only 4 stars.“

“It’s my first visit here. I loved the rice casserole and the fried pork ribs. The rice casserole was very authentic and delicious, just like the best ones I had in China.

The place was clean and the service was great. The manager answered my questions and when she saw there’s oil on my hands, she got me a paper napkin before I asked. I was very grateful!“

“Let’s be honest about JL Kitchen: you’re not coming here for gourmet food. You’re coming for some serious Chinese comfort food, at good value. What you get are amazing portion sizes of very tasty and basic American Chinese fares. Sometimes that’s exactly what the doc… I mean chef, ordered!“

“Good food and service. Finally inside seating with 3 tables.“

“Fly Away Production would like to work and grow with your marketing department in creating your Commercials and promotional videos? In box me when you're ready?“

“Great place to have a hot noodle soup. Their special rice noodle dishes are the bomb.
They have complementary hot water and hot tea that is self serving. Plenty of room for seating and also very clean. Mostly no waiting time. Plenty of parking“

“Legend Hot Pot & Grill honestly surprised me for the price, you get hotpot and BBQ in one spot, and everything tasted way fresher than most AYCE places. The broth was flavorful, the meats were tender and well-marinated, and the conveyor belt made grabbing veggies and noodles super easy. The sauce bar was fully stocked with everything you’d want, the vibe inside was warm and clean, and the staff kept refilling things without us even asking. Overall, it’s a perfect cold-weather spot with great value, tons of variety, and a way better experience than I expected. I’d definitely come back.“

“The food is always good here! Fresh and cooked to order. Service has gotten better over the years I remember when they were so rude. For the Ambiance I give it a 3 this is really a order and go. My favorite is always a dry fry ribs they're always top-notch. Today I ordered dry fried ribs beef chow mein and chicken fried rice with no soy sauce. The wait time has even improved I only waited 15 minutes.“

“Joe’s Pho is a family favorite, I have had several dishes, each one always being exceptional. But the highlight is definitely their pho! They have wonderful service very friendly atmosphere. Great food, clean location. Absolutely would recommend anyone to stop by in the area.“

“Really good !!! My kids love this place“

“What a gem! It's such an awesome place! I've tried their Thai iced tea with honey Boba, their FRESH spring rolls are so delicious! The pho we had were the brisket pho and vegetable pho!! Both are so fresh and delicious! Good service and chill atmosphere! Im becoming a regular! Writing this, im craving it!!!“

“I had a wonderful experience thanks to the amazing customer service provided by the cashier Gaby who helped us. From the moment we stepped up to the register, she was friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and even helped us with a few questions we had. Truly appreciated their help it made our visit so much more enjoyable.“

“I have stomach aches from laughing. There is an old lady working there. She is really funny and cute and affectionate, her laugh is really funny, when she laughs you have to laugh too. Because she laughs so beautifully that she spreads a great positive energy around. I definitely want you to meet her, her food is delicious, bon appetit. Don't forget to say bye bye to her, you may have a laughing fit while she says this.????“

“Thanks to the team at the CV shop for making such a large order as stress-less as possible. I came in with a big order and not only was everything right, but the customer service was great for us and the others in line. They made it fun to be hanging with the sandwich makers. Also, I prefer this shop in CV as it is sooooo clean! Thanks again and Happy Holidays!“

“yummy 😋 😋 😋“
