“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.“

“The only legitimate and actually JAPANESE sushi restaurant in Hayward.

How do I know?

The sushi chefs are actually Japanese.

Which of course makes a difference to us who are Japanese, married to a Japanese person for 30+ years, have traveled to Japan, actually prepare Japanese food in our homes...

“Good food nice service nothing but the best“

“These churros were literally the best I’ve ever had in my life. I don’t know how he does it but the churros maintain the heat inside but are still very crispy and buttery and sweet! We stopped by today and luckily got the last batch! A huge bag for $10!“

“The veggie supreme tacos ($4 each) with a side of jalapenos were the bomb! They were so fresh and delicious. Will be coming back again and again! We got chips and salsa ass well and they were fresh and tasty too. We demolished the large tacos on no time.

Great service and friendly and attentive staff.“

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

“Tried this place for the first time today and was so happy with my meal. I got the Bulgogi lunch special, it was delicious and super filling. Meal includes hot tea, 10+ banchan, rice, and a sizzling platter of Bulgogi. They even brought me extra kimchi when I was running low. All this for $20 plus tip is really hard to beat. Service is friendly and quick. I’ll be coming back for sure.“

“Been on road trip from Texas for a week definitely the best we’ve had so far. Fantastic food and service.“

“Fast, friendly, hot, and good. Hard qualities to find. I got the single cheeseburger with grilled onion. Little to much mayo for me but it was good, fries were piping hot and there was alot of them. Top it off with a pineapple shake they was very good. Great find will be back.“

“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.“

“Went on a date and got some absolutely delicious sushi 🍣 the prices are much better than almost all the sushi restaurants in the area while still maintaining quality. It does depend on what you get, but if you find the good rolls then this will become your favorite spot in downtown Hayward for sushi!!“

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

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

“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!“

“So this is a small place. Food is good and served quick. Come in, sit down and order something fantastic.

I parked my emoto on the side of the building ( front) one entrance into the closed off path around the restaurant ( good bike parking) not for motorcycles ( too heavy and big) ,bicycles, ebikes and emotos are just fine.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Freshest meat I’ve ever had, cooked to order and prepared with all the fixings.
Amazing burgers but cash only and carry-out. Burgers and fries are delivered to your car by friendly staff.
It’s still a family owned business after 60 years!“

“Ate here for the first time and will 100% be back. We got their brisket sandwich, Mac &meat with pulled pork on top, beans, cornbread, and fried pickles. The owner told us he brought the recipe for the fried pickles here with him from Arkansas and they were hands down the best I’ve had- super light but extremely flavorful. And the in-house made BBQ sauce was incredible. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“So good i couldn’t even wait to take a picture of the full pizza! Look at the cheese. Very nice people work here, and I always have an experience, I’ve ordered on DoorDash and picked it up and it’s always the same great quality. I’ve recommended this spot to my mom and she loved it; and my mom is a picky lady when it comes to pizza. Definitely come here, they have more than just pizza“

“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.“

“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.“

“Chai Thai Noodles Hayward is a fantastic spot for comforting Thai flavors! The noodles were perfectly cooked, rich in taste, and well-balanced with just the right level of spice and aroma. Every dish felt fresh and satisfying, especially the signature noodle bowls that really stand out. The portions were generous, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. A great place for a quick, flavorful meal easily a 5-star experience!“

“Good food , great staff“

“A must stop and eat restaurant! Love it!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“
