“Amazing burger, amazing tastes, the best cheese burger I have ever had in Falafel flame Hayward mission blvd. I strongly recommend this area for everyone Best of luck Hashmatullah faqiri“

“We loved belle! She was a great server!“

“The food and service here is wonderful, get as many flavors of the fried chicken that you can. Surprisingly, even the boneless fried chicken is fantastic – it’s made with chicken thighs, so it still has a crispy skin and dark meat texture.

My wife and I visited during a workday lunch hour so the owners, a mother and her son, we’re operating and taking orders. They were very nice and super hospitable. I wish them all the best with this business because they have a fantastic product.

No seating inside, as it is kiosk/countertop ordering, but there are tables outside to enjoy your food there. Super chill, nothing fancy.“

“Ceviche trío was very fresh, savory and delicious! Husband had filet mignon and he loved it! Thanks for the great chefs, waiters and servers! 💕“

“I LOVE PIES & was HAPPY to find out out about this place! I tried 4 of them: Beef Pot Roast, Chicken Artichoke Pesto, German Beef & Mushroom, & All American Chicken. Thumbs Up to the Perfect Crust & Flavorful stew Fillings. Look fwd to trying many more 😋👍❤“

“Chicken burrito was excellent. The chicken was perfectly seasoned. The carnitas tacos were good not as fresh as I'd like it to be but I did order later in the evening on a Saturday. I liked that the tortillas for my tacos weren't oily like other taco places. I would stop in again if I'm ever in the area.“

“Good food nice service nothing but the best“

“My favorite brunch spot! Hidden gem with huge portions. Breakfast is excellent, whatever way you choose. Love the omelets, hash browns, waffle, burgers, fries. Cool cook + waitresses. Location is a bit off the grid, definitely stop by if you're in the area. I'll add photos later, can't find em'“

“Everything on the menu is delicious. The lasagne is my favorite.“

“My favorite sushi restaurant! I used to drive out to Emeryville to get their sushi. It's delicious and you can taste the freshness. So glad they opened a place closer to home. I ordered the nigiri combo to go and they had it ready when I got there. Wait staff are always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend them!“

“driving down Main Street yesterday looking for a Dunkin' Donuts and see this cute little shop very well lit inviting. the Portuguese sweet breads are out of this world the custard tarts are to die for this place is a gem.“

“Very good food, and the chips and salsa are addictive!“

“Good food , great staff“

“We hired Oscar one week before our event on 7/13/24 and he did not disappoint. His churros were delicious, flaky on the outside and nice and doughy on the inside. Even 4 hours later, the churros were still fresh and delicious. All of our party guests took goodie bags home from him. I will definitely look to hire him again for our next event. Thank you, Oscar!!!“

“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!!“

“So I am always on the prowl for good breakfast joints. This is one of my new spots. I got the corn beef hash two eggs over medium sour dough toast and a cup of coffee. Meal was satisfying and to my surprise it came to just under 20 dollars with a tip. I was extremely pleased and even more happy the place is close to my house where I can pop in and get an inexpensive meal cooked right. Cornbeef was not super oily and the over medium eggs were cooked with no runny whites. Did not even need to ask for hot sauce as she brought it out with out being prompted. Service was good, place was kinda clean but not a concern for me. Good experience, and definitely a place I will visit again.....“

“SO good! Great vibe inside the restaurant, lots of families & the staff is top-notch. And I didn't miss MNF!“

“Delicious sweet and sour tofu, S&S chicken, General Tso’s chicken, and beef with broccoli.“

“This spot is so cute, clean and service is fast and friendly! The food was delicious and they even substituted chicken for the rib for me! They gave a me lot of chicken too. Will absolutely visit again!“

“Los tacos al pastor estaban deliciosos pero los tacos de tripas estaban riquicimos y el servicio exelente !!!! 100% recomendado. Gracias .“

“This Thai/Lao spot is truly a hidden gem in the Industrial area of Hayward off Highway 92. Fortunately, it's right off the freeway at the Clawiter/Eden Landing and you can spot it along the freeway.

Offering Thai and Lao food with some sushi rolls but I'm here for the Thai/Lao food as I love Nam Khao which is Southeast Asian crispy rice salad (with Lao pork) with plenty of flavor and textures accompanied with peanuts, mint, cilantro and lettuce for wrapping.

Royal Lao does a good one with plenty of bold flavors and heat (I asked for medium). The only comment I have for this dish it wasn't crispy (and not due to take out) so no crunch to it at all...no worries...popped into the air fryer and perfect! 4/5

:: Chicken Larb - ground chicken, herbs like mint, lime and fish sauce and chili with some cucumber and salad. - Flavorful and yummy. 4/5

:: Pork skewer (4) - good and juicy but could've been charred a bit to render some of the fat and get some caramelization from the sugars. Accompanied by a tomato-based sauce 3.5/5

Service friendly and efficient. Spoke to the owner, Noi and she mentioned the place has been there a year. Great option for Thai/Lao in the area as not many unless you go to East Oakland (Champa!) and head to Stockton's Angel Cruz Park.

Highly recommend stopping by. Place has a few tables for dining (no table service) but set up for take out. Pricing in line with similar spots. I'll definitely return to try other items and for the Nem Khao! Thank you Noi!

Note: Best to call or place order online to minimize wait.“

“Amazing food! I go here twice a week probably and they even remember my name now. It’s all really good so I switch it up. The buche is unusual so I like to get that and it’s very fresh . Very nice people and clean. My go to is 4 Asada tacos with a chile on the side. You won’t regret making this place a new favorite.“

“We ended up here tonight after a bad experience at Chuck E Cheese in the center next door. The service was quick and the food very tasty. We decided to order more for the folks at home.“

“This might be a gas station but the way they inject the chicken with seasoning makes a wonderful flavor and not to spicy like popeye's is. They have large boxes of chicken for your family to have leftovers, and your going to want them tomorrow. Deals on 25 pcs or more. Easy to fill up and get dinner at one stop!!“

“Super interesting experience. Took my kids to a popular park nearby (mia’s dream come true) and this restaurant was walking distance so we checked it out.
Seemed like a popular spot for locals and the owner was soooo nice!!!
The workers did not know English but I used my very broken spanish and was able to order lol
The food was spectacular too. Only slight complaint i had was that the place wasn’t very clean. Their dishes were still dirty, etc.“

“Fresh, hot food! The only down side was that the flan had a slightly burnt taste & it was a bit pricey. Other than that the rest of my food was delicious.“

“It's a place of it all, sweet breads and mexican food too. Sometimes you can buy bread from them at a low price. There's a lot of options for the sweet bread though, sometimes with jelly, some with a whole lot of sugar, which are my favorites. The staff don't walk around, you just order, they give you your bread and you're out. Easy, but if you order genuine food, it'll take around 7 minutes for them to serve a basic meal. They have a lot of options for a bakery. And their cakes look nice, I've never eaten one but they have some for display and they look pleasing. Overall, 4 for me, I love going there for either bread, food or ordering some bread to eat at home with things like beans.“

“This restaurant is always good if you’re in for comfort food like a great burger and a literal bag of fries alone with a nice cold shake made like they were in the 50’s! Overall great service and awesome staff that care about their customers! The meat is made all to speck in-house and aged for 24hours and the fries are steak fries made right!“

“The Korean fried chicken was delicious. The staff was a big help. They helped me pick out a good bottle of cold sake.“

“There general cook of the meat was solid. Smokiness and tenderness was spot on. Depending on your preferences the execution on the protein was top notch. However I felt the bbq sauce (medium spice) was very average. If this was better I would have given it five stars.“

“My son-in-law went to school in Korea, which is how he got familiar with Korean food. Hang Yang BBQ is a short drive from his house, and it's where he eats on special occasions. The BBQ we ate was delicious, but this is not a one-off because I have eaten here three times. It's also a good sign that other customers are Korean. I'll keep coming back.“

“Been going here for years. Nice to see that they freshened up the place. Plenty of parking, pretty easy access off the road. Great burgers, most of the time the fries are nice and hot, in fact really hot
That's the way I like them . The burgers are generous for the lettuce and tomato and there are plenty of condiments. You can get sodas or shakes or both.
There are other locations around the East Bay, not as many as there used to, but they're all pretty much equally good including the two that are on MacArthur boulevard, one near High Street and one near fruitvale.
All in all, one of my go-to burger places.
Pro tip, have plenty of napkins ready or just bring your roll of paper towels that you keep in the car.“

“This spot nails it! The wings are perfectly crispy, and the pizza tastes wonderfully homemade—you can tell they use fresh ingredients. Don't skip the calzone; it's generously filled and baked beautifully. A true neighborhood gem for comfort food. 5/5“

“Tiny, simple restaurant on a quiet part of the street .. easy to miss, but DONT MISS THIS RESTAURANT! Simply amazing food, a fantastic value for money as well.

Jeanette is on top of the service. The service is fast.

Quiet atmosphere, not the fancy kind of quiet where you’d need to whisper to each other. It’s a good family place.

We order the bento box with two or three choices depending on how hungry we are. The salad and rice that comes with it is a good serving for one person.“

“The Vegan Garden is the BEST! At first I was skeptical when receiving my first order of food and the packaging; however once I opened and ate each and every packaged food item, I was pleasantly surprised !!! Each item was deliciously made and seasoned well! And let me not forget about the Protein Smoothies! They are wonderful and so delicious :-)I am a lifetime fan and already made my 3rd purchase! The staff is warm and so accommodating! Martina is wonderful!“

“Wings are always done right. Crispy and never dry. Plus u want heat with flavor get a good combo like I always get the 10 wing with festa fries large. Crispy cheese goodness. Two combos one for my care giver and one for me. I have been coming here for years and always great customer service and quality. If u think that other wing place is good. Come give them a try u won’t regret it.“

“Best place to kau kau Hawaiian 🌺 Food“

“Food is so good..Honey walnut prawns..“

“I came here on a whim on a Sunday and realized they are closed on Sundays. I decided to come back on a Tuesday and was not disappointed! It's a small place tucked away in the corner of a shopping center. The inside is clean and quaint. The staff is very nice, they greeted me when I came in and when I grabbed my food to leave. The prices are affordable, and the steak sandwiches come with fries included! They have many other menu options, and I will definitely swing by again to try something different from them. I ordered the Bob's Hoagy. It was packed with meat and cheese. It also included fresh onions, lettuce, and tomatoes. There was a good balance of meat, cheese, and produce and a good portion for the price of $13! The fries it came with were perfectly cooked and crispy, and not too greasy.

Parking: This parking lot is always crowded at night.“
