Restaurants in Newark

“Basically the best skewer bbq in the bay! Not too spicy, not too oily, and not too neon.

Laid back atmosphere and sometimes they will have live music which is really cool.”

“What a classic place to eat from breakfast to lunch and dinner they have a great burger but also other great items like chicken teriyaki I love it all but when in breakfast mood always get the chilli omelet with a patty on the side always hits the spot!”

“Great restaurant. Ever since this new ownership, the food quality and service changed dramatically, I came here a few times for hot pot, and my experience is excellent.”

“My husband and I first discovered their lovely vegan ramen in Omiya, Tokyo. The chef there told us about their restaurant chain in the Bay Area, so we were thrilled to finally check them out here! While the vegan ramen in Omiya remains unmatched for me, we really appreciate the increased vegan options on the menu here. ?”

“Yall, this place is so good. The food is flavorful, spicy or not spicy, delicious, huge portions, served quick and hot. I love their food. Please do yourself a favor and eat here, the foods excellent ?”

“Las pastas están buenísimas”

“I love the galbi tang. The bone used to be bigger and longer but now shorter LOL. I tried my friend's beef tofu stew and seafood egg pancake and they were very good! The pork belly was just okay and the bulgogi was nothing special. We would love to try the spicy pork and fried chicken wings next time. LOVED the 11 banchan and our favorite was the fish cake, glass noodle, spicy eggplant, Kim Chee. I wish they had potato corn apple mayo salad tho. The really young lady server was very attentive and she knows what we need before we even ask!
I would also love the lunch specials”

“love it!!! best place to eat”

“I love fat rice rolls very much.My cousin’s soup is rich, pink and tender, and the pork intestines are super tasty!Also ordered a big bowl of noodles (pork trotters + fatty intestines)The pig's feet melt in your mouth! !

“owner is so friendly and food is delicious! blackened fish tacos are the best!!!!”

“Delicious food and great service! My husband and I had their meal boxes and were very pleased with the quality, freshness, and tastiness of the food there. We were so happy to find this gem in Newark!

Kid-friendliness: We told the owner that we were going to bring our kids l and he seemed quite pleased.”

“Really tasty and great value! Tons of garnish in the noodle. I did takeout and the noodle and soup base were separately packed. I have a high tolerance for spicy food, and was satisfied with their spiciest option!”

“Amazing food. I’ve never tasted hand made noodles this fresh before . Just outstanding flavor and I loved the homemade taste. I ate there three days ago and I can’t stop thinking about it ! I’m dying to come back. Customer service is above and beyond, although we may not have spoken the same language, they make you feel so welcome and the atmosphere is very warm. I love this place !”

“My first time here after my wife nagging me for years. The dining area is cozy, relaxing, and comfortable. The food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. It’s so nice to be able to eat Japanese halal with excellent sushi and service. This will be the new date night spot.”

“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!”

“Menu is huge and portions as well. We ordered one soup and once rice for 2 persons and we brought food home. There was one brisket soup that was very sour, be careful when ordering if you do not like it that way, the other one was delicious.”

“I had the chili Verde plate. it was delicious. Will definitely be going back.”

“The ultimate deli the r best. Sandwiches yummm 5 stars for this place ..I will be back again”

“Great food & service. Highly recommended to all . Clean & pleasant ambiance.”

“first time trying this place! i had ordered garlic salmon and a beef fried rice to go. both dishes were delicious! plenty of food and great flavor! happy to have found this spot, a hidden gem.”

“A friend suggested this place to me yesterday so of course I had to pop in to check it out. I walked in and immediately noticed how clean it was. Not only was the owner there, but he was super friendly and told me and my daughter about how he makes the ice cream himself with the help of his wife. I really don't think I've tried creamier ice cream. Was VERY impressed with everything about this place and will be coming back with family and telling friends to go here as well!”

“Their spicy dropper is weak. Calling it spicy idk about that. They need to make it more spicy or else I won’t be coming back. Still giving it a 5 stars cuz them fish was fresh and the poke bowl is tasty!”

“You can have Sabudana Vada if you are fasting

Samosa chaat is really good

Chole kulcha is great as well.

Vegetarian options: Samosa chaat
Chole kulche
Sabudana vada”

“the best chicken Caesar salad and garlic toast - love this Newark location and vibe!”

“I like the quality of their ramen. The portion, the thickness of the char siew and the onsen egg, delicious! If i can suggest one thing, it will the hotness of the soup. They have to serve it piping hot and it will be bring heaven to earth. We ate there today and the soup is just warm.. so maybe next time i visit here i hope they will make it more hot. Thanks!”

“Lobster Bisque central. Always scorching hot, the bread bowl is warmed to the perfect temperature to enjoy through the entire eat. The combo basket was perfectly crisp and tasty. The super warm food was paired perfectly with their draft select beers. It was an excellent dinner for me and my babe.”

“Pure good hongkonger canteen. Love it!”

“Excellent service and good fresh food clean environment!”

“Great food and friendly service. I will go again and definitely recommend to my friends. Simply best!”

“The boba here is top notch! I come here every time I visit the Bay Area. The tea and boba are always fresh. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. The taro milk tea is the best thing on the menu and they actually use fresh taro, instead of the fake and artificial purple taro. The mango milk tea is also good. You get a lot of boba in your drink when some other places barely give you any. I highly recommend this place for all your tea and boba needs!”

“The taste is good, the price is fair, and the weight is good. I especially want to praise the service guy who is so enthusiastic and funny, and his emotional intelligence is so high!”

“Nice and fresh food, Warm to the Table, Friendly Staff There Also, next Time I will get the HotPot Cooking”

“a good place to eat curry, good taste and portion. And the momos are really good. The boy who served us was very friendly.

a good place to eat curry, good taste and portion. And the momos are really good. The boy who served us was very friendly.”

“food is delicious .friendly staff .we will definitely recommend and we will come back .amazing simple ambiance.we love it.”

“Had lunch here. Chicken Tiki Masala with rice and garlic naan. Food and service was very good. Mango yogurt drink for desert. I will come back as often as I can.”

“服務好 速度也快 食物很好吃 會一吃還想再吃的串烤店”

“As I opened up my plate—packed to the brim with chow mein, orange chicken, and sweet & sour chicken—I was nearly blinded by the golden sparkle of the orange chicken. Unfortunately, in my awe of the orange chicken, I found a short, type 2A strand of hair. I knew this couldn’t have been mine because I have long, thick, luscious, nearly curly hair (somewhere between 2C and 3A). I pulled that jawn out of my food and kept it pushing.I’m not one for formalities, so I was able to move past this. It’s up to you to decide if you’d do the same.Aside from this mishap, the food was deesh, and the service was even better. Will be returning.”

“Great combo beef Phô (all the good stuff, including tripe and tendon), a large amount of meat, plus your choice of noodles... I got egg noodles and loved it.

Served in under 5 minutes...

... Huge bowl, delicious ? broth.

Considering how expensive going out to eat is today, this is the best phô deal around.

I highly recommend this restaurant... It deserves a higher score on Google.”

“Tried beef rib pho noodle soup ~ very delicious. Could say this is one of the best pho restaurant I have tried so far.

Spicy Beef Noodle isn’t quite up to my expectation though.

This restaurant is on a bit expensive side ~ but worth it.”

“I got the cochinita pibil and it's the most authentic version I've yet to have here in the US. Highly recommend it! Wife had the ceviche and loved that as well.”

“I've been coming to this venue since July and don't have anything but great things to say about the great food & excellent service of the Manager, Susan and her staff who are always helpful. When I make reservation, Susan is very accommodating and pleasant.”

“Papaya Thai is a Bay Area treasure. My wife and I stumbled upon it while looking for a good place to have lunch after running an errand in Newark. We had Lamb Yellow Curry Stew and Pad Thai with Shrimp. The lamb was perfectly cooked in a rich yellow curry with potatoes and carrots. The meat was as tender as you can possibly imagine. The Pad Thai was mixed with a sweet sauce that was slightly sticky, which I like so the noodles adhere to each other. I don’t know if this is traditional, but really like Pad Thai like that.”

“Food and service was good.. Too bad they took out the kid play area.. My grandkids, would’ve enjoyed it..!!!”

“Friendly associate nice neat dining area. Not like other m’c donald hard to find clean table you have to ask clean your own.”

“Seasoned curly fries is my son's favorite and mine too. taste very good!”

“Best pies in the Bay Area. Every time I go I have a positive experience. I've tried their: French silk pie, apple pie with crumble, key lime pie, a berry/lemon(?) pie, and a mango hand pie. I've not tried any of their savory pies.
What makes their pies great are the crust and the freshness. The crust is flakey, buttery, fresh. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. If you like pie, or think you're on the fence, I recommend this place!
They have a few inside tables and chairs, but it's a small, narrow space not good for big groups. I tend to take out.”

“Cake and cupcakes... really good love it...”

“Impressed by everything I ate here. The egg tarts are special and have layers of red bean filling. I will definitely come back to get this and their pork floss breads.

A lot of menu is in Chinese, so it’s good to go by the pictures or go with a Chinese speaker.”

“Service was good and so was the food. Not busy on a Monday so I expected to have good service. We ordered different things but what I liked was the spicy garlic boneless chicken. Crispy and juicy and really good flavor.”

“We were across the street at Newark high school and wanted some boba. This little location just inside the new park mall offers a huge selection of a wide variety of different drinks. Service was quick and drinks were very tasty. Would definitely try something else next time!

Parking: The mall wasn't very busy so we parked right in front.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps to get from the parking lot to the mall and into the mall. Very accessible!”

“Found this place browsing Google for lunch spots in Newark and am I glad I did. The food was seriously delicious - we tried a bit of everything: very tender lamb, sausage, turkey tail (new to me, and delightful), corned beef, taro, green bananas, and some greens with coconut milk (forgot their name). It was all very good, but my favorites were the desserts - one was a banana and coconut milk sort of pudding with tapioca, and I could probably eat a small bucket it was so good. The other was a cocoa rice that has one of the most incredible cocoa flavors I've ever had - more of an almost fruity cocoa flavor, but still very much cocoa. Delightful. Will certainly be back!

Very reasonable prices and great service.”

“They cook the shrimp just how I like it and the sauce is just amazing (pretty spicy for those with a lower tolerance). Friendly staff and lovely decorations, eat-in or take-out you can’t go wrong.”

“Had to wait for a table, service was fast, and food was delicious and so many good things to choose from in their menu. Loved the breeze board and country fried steak.”

“food delicious! and nice and hot. had sweet and sour pork with chow mein. ample portions and great price.”

“Our friends had told us about this place a few months back but it used to have shorter hours at the time we couldn’t try it out but now that they changed their timings it’s become more convenient.

Very authentic and delicious food. Located in a convenient place with lots of Costco parking. It does get quite crowded on the weekends. It is a lowkey self service place.

We got the hyderabadi dosa and karam podi idly. Both items were really good. Quite spicy for me but it was mentioned on the menu as 2 chilli levels so it was expected to be spicy. We also got filter coffee and rose lassi. The rose lassi was very sweet but the filter coffee was perfect.”

“I highly agree with the reviews I've read, my first time there and what I ordered was absolutely delicious, this place is awesome and underrated I plan on returning soon. Thanks to the staff for the pride they take in preparing the cuisine.”

“Fresh Fruit and smoothies !! Great place to go after a great run or exercise!!”

“Delicious breakfast, mimosas and amazing service.”

“Very authentic Szechuan food!!!Came here multiple times bc of my favorite Fish-flavored Shrimp Shreds (鱼香肉丝). This time tried Spicy Shrimp (香辣虾), which was juicy and spicy that also very good! Loofah (清炒丝瓜) is hard to find in Bay Area but a popular dish at home. Dry pot chicken (干锅鸡) actually was tender. Would definitely come again!!”

“The food is so fresh and tasty! They make everything to order so it takes a little longer but it is worth it.”

“The food is good, but I guess it's about who's there when you go. I went last week and got two burrito bowls. There was enough food in one bowl to feed two people (we had enough food for two days) with leftovers. (Both times I used the through the drive through).
So, when I went back a few days ago, I only got one bowl for the two of us. This time, there was JUST enough for two people.
I really wish I had weighed the bowls. Next time, I will.”

“This is the MLM scam capital of Newark. Never a dull moment with some shoddily dressed con man trying to sucker someone into a get rich scam.”

“Only a few people here. But I can refill my beverage. Clean tables, 3-sides windows have very good views of the plaza and nearby streets. I would recommend if I could get more vegetables in between my double burger layers.

Parking: More than enough parking lots in this plaza.”

“It was empty when I came here on Sunday around 10:30 AM. Cashier was great. My Star burger and fries were really good as well. Would not recommend the French toast sticks.”

“Nice and plenty of space where you can actually focus if you want to study here. The only thing is it is nearby a school and there will be a lot a lot of students coming in around 2:30-3, so it can get a little noisy.”

“Drive thru. Quick! Ordered my fave Matcha Green tea latte with coconut milk.Perfect!!Don't forget great time to pay it forward .”

“Love them!! They know my order by heart everytime I go in! Butterfly shrimp or popcorn shrimp! Me and my dad started going here every Friday on our way to a job site. It's been 5yrs now and I still go in and still have the same HOME feeling is awsome. The workers definitely deserve credit for customers service!!”

“It was quick and fast service..I love their chicken sandwich!�”

“Had to go inside because there was a cone blocking the drive-thru which was understandable as there were only two baristas inside working all the orders coming in. They were doing a great job and my drink was excellent! Hope they get fully staffed soon so that drive thru can open up again!”

“Newer location with updated video menu boards. The animated ads are kind of annoying in the drive-thru but overall a newer location with solid service and food quality and construction was above average compared with other Taco Bells.”

“I have 3 kids and I ordered a tacos party pack for them. They said it was good. I had my cousin in the car and he ordered nacho fries and a large drink, the drink size was really small even though he ordered a large. It seemed like a small. And he ordered a large nacho fries and that was also small. Everything else was good but they just need to make their sizes bigger.”

“I particularly like this autumn and winter limited edition pickled vegetable and beef rice noodles.I think the spiciness of the beef brisket stewed in spicy soup is slightly spicy, but it is very thoughtful to be able to adjust the spiciness when eating the beef and noodles separately!!The beef brisket is juicy, tender and especially sweet when cooked in stock.”

“Delicious authentic Salvadorian food. We love their pupusas and yuca frita con chicharon. Don't forget the Salvadorian Horchata, yes it's different than the Mexican Horchata. Fast service. Family friendly atmosphere.”

“Definitely one of my favorite places, it has a wide variety of sweet and savory crepes; ice cream, smoothies, tea, French fries, fried calamari, etc., without a doubt a good place to indulge yourself with a delicious appetizer; And to complete your experience the staff is very attentive and helpful.”

“The bingsoo is so yummy! People are so friendly.”

“While service outstanding! Bought a zip jacket $60. Thought $40. Had coffee Jameson baileys. Heavy on coffee. Didn’t come for coffee- came for cocktail. Added liquor, she told me $19 drink. Ok. Ordered a shot of fireball. Gave $10 tip. Fairly certain it doesn’t equal $89. Now can’t reach anyone. Have to drive out there. Just sucks!!”

“It's a really nice hole in the wall pizza shop. Doesn't have a lot of atmosphere, but they make up for it in fresh quality ingredients.

Take your pizza to the park and enjoy it in the sunshine.”

“This place has a large assortment of frozen baos and dumplings. I picked up a 30 piece bag of xiao long baos for $26. They are very tasty, larger than average frozen dumplings. Recommend checking this place out.”

“Reasonably priced, delicious, friendly, very positive all the way around. Would like to go back ��”

“I found my new place for awesome drinks! Why haven't I tried this place sooner? Well, now I'm going to be a regular.

Parking: Lots of parking in front, around the corner, or just up the ways (if you don't mind walking a few extra steps)”

“The waffles are amazing! Make sure to order them fresh! The service was excellent and the tea delicious! The owner is very accommodating and the dining area is so spacious and comfy! definitely recommend!”

“Love this place!!! Great drinks, good food, you can watch any sport you want, the staff is friendly and they remember you, my first place of choice for everything!”

“Service was fast and friendly. It was very clean and safe inside. The lime ice cream was yummy, right amount of sweet and tart flavor. My husband loved the Uchepos too but didn’t get pics of either because they ate too fast. I got the fresas con crema and added mango to it and it was sooo good.”

“We’ll definitely be back! Delicious food, clean environment, friendly, helpful staff”

“burger and fries were very delicious. nice taste, i can not believe its plants based.”

“I have been eating in restaurants in the Bay Area for more than 20 years. It is definitely our family's favorite, from young to old... It has been open since 1994. In such a highly competitive catering industry, it has been 30 years, and every dish tastes delicious. Change. The first meal every time my son returns to the Bay Area, and the last meal every time he leaves home, is always a family dinner here. Coordinate positioning: Newark, East Bay.The eighth picture shows the proprietress Nancy taking a photo with her family. Highly recommended to everyone, I hope their business will always be prosperous and my son will feel like he is back home every time he comes home.”

“food delicious! and nice and hot. had sweet and sour pork with chow mein. ample portions and great price.”

“This is a franchise of Panda Express, that's the reason for the similarities. I like the chicken with rice and veggies. I bring my own Sriracha sauce for dipping. Really good taste.”

“Love this place!!! Great drinks, good food, you can watch any sport you want, the staff is friendly and they remember you, my first place of choice for everything!”

“Great place to hang out too”

“Today Thursday 5/9/22, my two children and I enjoyed a delicious family lunch. We have always enjoyed coming here. I want to thank the person in charge of the area where we enjoyed our lunch. It turns out that I left my wallet with money inside on the seat and when I came back 5 hours later to ask, they kindly kept it for me with all the contents inside. Besides being a very good place, their staff is also very kind and honest when you forget something, they keep it for you. Thank you very much and I hope to return to this place soon.”

“Friendly Korean owner~
I visited twice during my business trip, and on the last day, they even gave me radish radish kimchi, jjangajji, and kimbap.
A place that not only tastes delicious, but also warms your heart.
