Oyama BBQ 5492 Central Ave, Newark Chinese • $$

“Haven’t been back in a while, and wow — they’ve added so many new items!

The grilled honeycomb tripe, beef tendon, and pork intestine were all outstanding — perfectly grilled, full of flavor, and not greasy at all. You can really taste that authentic Chinese BBQ seasoning.

Don’t miss the signature Mala Mao Cai 🍺 and the spicy tripe (香辣涮肚) — both are absolute must-orders and pair amazingly well with the skewers.

This place keeps getting better every time I come back. If you’re craving real Chinese street-style BBQ, this is the spot!”

Kong Sarang Tofu & BBQ 6180 Jarvis Ave suite a, Newark Korean • $$

“I just had lunch here with my mom, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much since we eat Korean food at home every day. But I have to say, this was the most memorable Korean restaurant experience we’ve had in a really long time.

The food was done right, and I could truly taste the effort put into every dish. The banchan was perfectly seasoned, cooked to the right texture, fresh, incredibly balanced, and so generous. I had the kimchi tofu soup and the pork belly combo. Again, both dishes tasted exactly like what they should have tasted like, not masked by intense or unnecessary flavors, but balanced and pleasant.

I don’t remember the last time I enjoyed every single banchan and dish that was served on the table. I used to find myself driving from Fremont down to Santa Clara for my fill of soondubu, but there is really no need anymore. This place exceeded all expectations, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for good, authentic Korean food.”

“Don't let the parking lot fool you- this place is AWESOME inside!

They have a LARGE selection of ingredients to choose from for your hot pot as well as fruit, cake and freshly made ice cream for dessert. Drinks are included in the buffet price.

Staff are very friendly and helpful and explain things well. This was important for us as we had never been to a hot pot place before so we had no idea what to do😂.

They are open 7 days a week with lunch and dinner buffet. Call for hours and prices. We had lunch on a monday and before tip for 2 of us it was $44.95.

Definetly recommend!”

“A great Japanese restuarant offering halal hibachi and sushi rolls. Small but cosy ambiance.
Personally love their dinner hibachi (Steak & chicken , steak & beef both). They serve hibachi with a soup and some salad which is great stuff. The spicy tuna rolls and the Californian rolls are worth the treat. I personally feel the hibachi serving should be slightly more but I don’t mind the current serving as well.
What I did not like was yakisoba, it had very less veges. Service overall is great. Must try if you’re looking for halal Japanese good food. However, it’s a bit pricy comparatively.”

You order at the counter which the you man who took our order was very tentative and friendly. We sat at our table and the food was brought to us when ready. The Burgers we ordered were quite delicious. In our short time there we could see this was a very popular burger joint and it's easy to see why. The menu is no frills but everything you would expect at any local burger joint. We will be back.”

“I was initially turned off by the prices but the portions are huge. The tacos were $6.99 each but the diameter was 7 inches which is larger than typical tacos. The carne asada and al pastor were marinated well. The tortillas here are super fresh, made on the spot. I ordered the huarache. Again, their tortilla dough is super fresh. It came with two eggs on top.

You get free chips and salsa. The chips are not self serve but the salsas are.

The restaurant is pretty small and has 3 tables inside and 2 tables outside.

This is an order at the counter spot. You'll need to go up to ask for a cup of water, togo box, etc. They can be quite busy so it took a bit for me to get my box.

They only accept cash or Zelle as of now.”

“3rd time ordering Pizza here. If I lived a little closer I'd prob be a regular.

Nice cozy spot. Family owned. Small Clean and Charming.

The atmosphere smell is almost therapeutic. Pizza and Mexican bread bakery in one.

Pizza dough is in fact a bit on the sweet side. But it's blends well with many toppings. Especially if you like to pour hot suace on your pizza.

Just try it!”

“This restaurant is located right next to the famous Little Sichuan—healthy competition is always welcome. The interior feels newly renovated with a pleasant ambience, something I wish Little Sichuan would consider as well.

We ordered three dishes: Chongqing Spicy Chicken, Flavor Kitchen Cage Frog, and Dry-Baked Green Beans. Both the spicy chicken and the cage frog were quite good. The green beans were just okay; they were a bit stringy, and I’ve definitely had more tender versions elsewhere.

Be prepared to wait a bit for your food. It took about 15–20 minutes for our first dishes to arrive. This might actually be a good sign, since many Chinese restaurants rely heavily on pre-prepped ingredients—here it seems they cook more from scratch, which takes longer but tastes fresher.

Overall, we had a positive experience and will be adding this restaurant to our list for future visits.”

“I’m quite shocked how much food they gave me after all of the Chinese takeouts I’ve been too! It’s no wonder that this place has received higher ratings. This plate I have can get you full in no time unless you share it or save up for dinner later. The food here is even tasty. That two-item combo costs around $13!

I heard that this restaurant also serves à la carte, but you can also go through fast-food style like what I had today. Place wasn’t really big but the seating area in a way stands out. You can probably wait there until your order is ready. Also, I was scrolling through the foods from the display. Seems that many people ate here during lunch while I came here for dinner. Doesn’t seem that they have plenty of options from the display for combo orders, but that’s alright.

Honestly, I thought that the Spicy Orange Chicken would be very spicy, but gladly, it isn’t. I was hoping that I don’t end up drinking too much water from severe spiciness. I have tried the regular Orange Chicken from a similar place, but didn’t like it.

This will be one of the favorite Chinese takeouts I will go to for now on. Looking forward for more!”

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.”

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.

If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask. The place is very friendly.”

“Been supporting this place most of my teens and college years, I recommend this place to anyone looking for a lot of variety such as , pho , Banh Mi , snacks , drinks and anyone looking for ready to go food. Come early sometimes lines can be long. Expect delays too , sometimes they are short staff and get help from security which really is a great help to them.”

“I've been coming here for over ten years, used to get the lunch special at least once a week when I lived nearby.

Pretty much everything is good so choose whatever floats your boat. Like more Americanized Chinese food? Get the fried rice or chow mein (try the tomato beef pan fried noodles if you're dining in). Want something more authentic? Check out anything on the choose 3 dish special on the back menu. Rock cod clay pot or any clay pot dish is so good with rice. Also try the shredded pork with yellow chives and bean curd.”

Taqueria Laberinto de Humo 5885 Jarvis Ave, Newark Mexican • $$

“I was initially turned off by the prices but the portions are huge. The tacos were $6.99 each but the diameter was 7 inches which is larger than typical tacos. The carne asada and al pastor were marinated well. The tortillas here are super fresh, made on the spot. I ordered the huarache. Again, their tortilla dough is super fresh. It came with two eggs on top.

You get free chips and salsa. The chips are not self serve but the salsas are.

The restaurant is pretty small and has 3 tables inside and 2 tables outside.

This is an order at the counter spot. You'll need to go up to ask for a cup of water, togo box, etc. They can be quite busy so it took a bit for me to get my box.

They only accept cash or Zelle as of now.”

“Restaurant is tucked away in a quiet corner of the mall beside costco. Atmosphere is cozy but can be noisy at times. Food was what you would expect at any south Indian restaurant. Nothing too fancy but not too bad. $14 for a Mysore masala dosa is pricey but that is SF Bay Area for you. Mediocre food at Michelin prices. The chutneys were cold but the sambar was piping hot. Imagine dipping one piece of dosa in chutney and the next one in Sambar. Your palette will.not know what to expect next. Again poorly designed dishes yet prices are high. Sadly, this is the norm in the bay area, so cannot fault this place.”

Happy Lemon Newark 39151 Cedar Blvd, Newark Bubble Tea • $

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had such a wonderful experience here! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and inviting. Not only did we get to enjoy some of the best drinks we’ve had in a long time, but we also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was incredibly kind, hospitable, and passionate about what they do.

We tried a variety of drinks, and each one was fantastic in its own way—refreshing, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients and care. You can really tell that thought and creativity go into each recipe. Every sip left us impressed and already talking about which ones we want to try on our next visit.

What made the experience even more special was the genuine hospitality. The owner took the time to chat with us, share some background on the drinks, and make sure we felt right at home. It’s rare to find that level of connection and pride in both the product and the people who walk through the door, but this place has it in spades.

All in all, this was more than just grabbing a drink—it was an experience. If you’re looking for a spot that serves fantastic drinks and makes you feel like family, this is the place. We’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend!”

“Lady at the counter was very nice. I ordered a 2 piece fish and chips to go, waited less than 10 minutes and my food came out hot and crispy. She gave me 2 tartar sauce and 1 malt vinegar.

The fish and chips themselves didn’t have much seasoning on them, but they were crispy, didn’t have any bad taste, and they pair well with the tartar sauce.

Decent amount of food for the price, would go again if I’m craving fried seafood!”

Starbucks Carter Station, 7324 Thornton Ave, Newark Coffee Shops • $

“A little old review for the visit in January, 2025; forgot to post it :P

Wow, this is the only Starbucks in the area with barista that actually greet and smile at us when we walk in.

I love customizing my drinks on the app but not every barista follows the customization... like you can actually taste and see the ingredient difference through the classic-clear-cup. This barista totally nailed it, the Coffee Frappuccino has the right balance of bittersweet prefect to my taste. My friend also said his customized Latte taste better then usual while it just made with the same Starbucks coffee.

This store is small but the atmosphere is great, clean and no trash laying around. The only negative of this store is it is right at the corner of a busy street sharing grocery store and sandwich shop so sometimes it is hard to find a parking.”
