“I dont like to give small businesses a hard time, the food was amazing the only issue i have is the consistency of their hot and hour soup, ITS EXTREMELY THICK, I've been to house of dumplings and hong Kong city restaurant in the area, this is thr first time encountering soup being served like this. I hope I can either get a refund on the item or an exchange. None the less everything else was great, just wish I didn't pay 11 bucks for this item“

“Great food, fast and consistent customer service and the atmosphere was very chill. From the front door to our waitress everyone was very polite and professional. It's obviously not top notch Italian food. But it's always flavorful and consistent. The bread is always warm and the salad was nice and crisp. The Alfredo and chicken hit the spot and the drinks kept flowing. Love this location.“

“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 went on a Saturday 1 PM and it was very chill. Food was delicious even though it was my first time there the turkey with pesto was just bomb and the service was just perfect. No one to make noise or music to interrupt the server. Got our order down correctly and the atmosphere was just perfect calm quiet, and able to enjoy our food as a family and here are some pictures“

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

“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!“

“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“

“House of Dumplings is an absolute treasure! Their dumplings are incredibly fresh, flavorful, and clearly handmade with care. Every bite is a delight, whether steamed or pan-fried. Beyond the dumplings, their other Chinese dishes are also excellent. This place is a must-visit for authentic and delicious food. Highly, highly recommend!“

“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 !!“

“Beyond average but missing some to push it to GOAT territory. The dining experience is very Chinese, from the way you order to how they structure the menu to how the dishes are served I feel like I'm back in PRC. Which could be good or bad depending on person. I ordered the signature spicy noodle combo. I agree with other reviewers that the noodles are the weakest link they are way too soft and wimpy. The soup base is good with the distinct spicy profile but the ingredients in there doesn't really get the taste integrated, they all just fell flat. Prices are on the slightly expensive side but portions are big, two people of average appetite could easily share a combo, and they have a condiments aisle you can add cilantro peanuts or whatever unlimited. Kinda weird for the noodles tho since they are already heavily seasoned, it's more of a hotpot thing. But I added some fried peanuts into my noodles nonetheless. Service was OK and vibe is family / locals.“

“We’ve been here several times and we love this place and will definitely come back again. Foods are absolutely delicious, they also offer unlimited refill, price are reasonable, too. There’s a lot of seats here, chill atmosphere, and nice friendly staffs.“

“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.“

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

“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 !“

“They have good food here and they still open“

“GRATE SANDWICH 🥪 NICE SERVICE FRIENDLY STAFF“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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?“

“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.“

“Every time I come into this Panera, I’m greeted with nothing but positive energy and awesome service🤌🏾Tianna and Sabbath always go above and beyond🙂‍↔️ They’re warm, welcoming, and consistent every single visit. The rest of the staff is great too, and you can tell they take pride in what they do🔥

Overall, the customer service, cleanliness, and atmosphere keep me coming back. Keep up the great work, Panera team!🥰🫂“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.????“
