“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!!“

“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“

“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“

“GREAT value for the price and the sandwich was yummy! The customer service was amazing. A customer next to us was taken care of speedily and respectfully to rectify when she realized there was a sauce on the sandwich she didn’t want. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Tried Olive Garden’s Calabrian Steak & Shrimp Bucatini through curbside To Go and overall I really enjoyed it. The pasta has a creamy Calabrian sauce with a nice little kick of spice, and the combination of steak and shrimp makes it a pretty filling dish. The bucatini holds onto the sauce really well, and I liked the spinach and tomatoes mixed in too.

Every To Go order also comes with two breadsticks and your choice of their salad or one of their soups. I went with the salad, which was neatly packaged and actually a pretty good-sized portion.

The curbside To Go process was super easy and convenient. I just pulled up, checked in, and they brought everything right out to me. My only downside was that it was a Saturday, so the food took longer than normal to come out.

Overall, a solid takeout experience. The Calabrian Steak & Shrimp Bucatini was flavorful, filling, and I’d definitely order it again.“

“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!“

“Sweet family-owned restaurant. This place is called Elite Dumpling for a reason!! Get their dumplings.

I see people on here complaining about the other food, but you’re not trying the best stuff. Food is delicious and comes out very fast.

I recommend their potstickers, chili oil wontons, all the dumplings, salt and pepper pork chops, and walnut shrimp.

They even give you free goodies when you order over $30, $50, and $100. In this economy, it’s impressive. Thank you for being a neighborhood staple!“

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

“10/10 highly recommend! Great service, very clean place, sandwich was packed and delicious. I had The Godfather and wow!! Definitely will be coming back again“

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

“First timers! Bahn Mi's were so good! customer service was very courteous, and quick. Food was delicious, portions were worth the price. Soups looked amazing also!“

“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 !!“

“Dropped in for some pho and really enjoyed the meal. The service was really great and friendly. Pho- quite delicious. I liked the quality of the goods, the mint and thai basil leaves were very impressive, so fresh and HUGE and tasted great. This place also served their bowls with limes which is funny because I've seen it becoming rarer, where lemons are being substituted and I'm the former so I appreciated that. The cuts of meat were these nice long strips, high quality.

I also got a banh xeo and that things was awesome. Whoever cooked it did so perfectly... nice crunch on the rim, juicy interior. The batter has coconut milk, so each bite is so flavorful. This was my favorite dish. Again, high quality meats and veggies, and huge! Good stuff. Also their coffee has a great condescended milk to coffee ratio, super sweet and rich yum“

“Wonderful! Today (5/18/26), at around 4:30-5:00 PM, I was craving a fresh, not too heavy meal to satisfy my lunch cravings while on break. I was recommended this specific nick the Greek from a good friend of mine, as it was local, and was said to have great service and good food. When I entered the store, I was pleasantly surprised by how nicely decorated and clean the store was, along with its upbeat, Greek themed atmosphere. My highlight of this visit was the food and service though, as the two employees at the front taking my order were extremely kind, patient, and were actively engaged in assisting me in ordering my meal. I ordered a beef gyro, which was absolutely delicious, filling, and perfectly satisfied my lunch cravings. I also ordered Greek fries, which came out about 1-3 minutes after my gyro came, and they were just as good, a perfect combination with my gyro. All in all, a great, fast, clean, and delightful experience from this restaurant, props to the workers at the cash register! This visit made my day, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more.“

“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!“

“The picture says it all. 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing hot pot experience! The food was fresh and delicious, and there were so many ingredients to choose from. The broth was flavorful, and everything tasted great when cooked together. I also loved the atmosphere—it was lively, clean, and perfect for a fun meal with friends or family. The staff were friendly and attentive as well. Definitely a place I’d come back to again! 🍲🥢❤“

“What a find! We stopped here on A road trip and were craving Vietnamese food, like we always do. Pho Dublin exceeded our expectations. The Bahn Mi was delicious and fresh, the bread was perfectly crunchy and soft. The spring rolls are wrapped very well and all of their ingredients are super fresh. Definitely recommend the vermicelli bowl too. Make sure you stop by this place if you have the chance! Cravings = satisfied“

“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“

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

“GRATE SANDWICH 🥪 NICE SERVICE FRIENDLY STAFF“

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

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

“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.“

“Fantastic food. Nice large servings. Friendly people. Atmosphere.. I think it's probably what you'd expect for the area and a little mom and pop shop. If it isn't, change your expectations. My favorite is the war wonton soup.“

“Really enjoyed our meal at Fang Kee Claypot Rice in Newark! The three-item braised platter with pig feet, pork stomach, and pork tongue was the highlight—everything was flavorful, tender, and well-seasoned. The signature eel claypot rice was delicious, with fragrant rice, savory sauce, and crispy bits at the bottom. The mushroom chicken claypot rice was also tasty and a milder option.

If you’re dining with two people, ordering the large size is a better value and makes it easier to share. Just note that the vegetable dishes can be a little pricey—the garlic stir-fried choy sum was $16. Overall, a great East Bay spot for comforting Chinese claypot rice and braised dishes.“

“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 !“

“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“

“They have good food here and they still open“

“Best food ever great service been to all three highly recommended 😋5 star's definitely“

“We were here a few days ago for a birthday lunch and our server, I think her name is Arie, was the best! She was very sweet and accommodating. I had the chicken alfredo, house salad, calamari appetizer, and tiramisu. Every dish was so good and I would definitely eat here again!“

“Super solid pho place! Huge portions and noodle to soup ratio. The beef rib pho came with a giant piece of rib with tender meat that fall off the bone. My favorite thing about the restaurant is being able to substitute pho noodle for my Bun bo hue!

The service isn’t the most attentive. Especially on busy days, they are super understaffed and you can be at your table waiting for a while. But you get free desserts and sometimes free pandan waffles!“

“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?“

“I was new to Panera and didn’t know how to use the computer menu. The people up front were friendly and quickly took my order, saving me from ordering everything wrong. I ordered a Turkey sandwich and French onion soup that was super yummy. The manager Sabbath asked if I wanted to sign up for the Sip Club and explained how it works. I signed up and use it almost every day.
I’m super happy Panera is now in Union City. It’s my go to place. I just picked up the brown sugar cinnamon bagels and am stoked to have one for breakfast tomorrow.“

“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!!!“

“They made a great pizza when I was there in 2024. Their pizza was made perfectly and fresh. Wasn't dried out like the pizza place. Their pizza was glistening with the oil of the sliced pepperoni, the way it should look. Keep up the good work.“

“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!“
