Hinodeya Newark 5724 Thornton Ave B, Newark Ramen • $$

“I was craving a good ramen for such a long time, and omg this place did not disappoint. We landed up reaching there a little after lunch time and still the staff was so nice and helpful. I ordered the tonkotsu tan tan ramen medium spicy (level 2) and it was soooooo delicious. I enjoyed each and every bite. The other person with me had the spicy miso pork chachsu ramen with level 3 spice. It came piping hot and hit the spot.
The ambiance was very warm and welcoming. Nice light music and great lighting.
I would recommend this place for a nice ramen experience, especially when they are so quick with their service. You will enjoy every morsel.
I am definitely coming back here for more ramen and trying other dishes. Looking forward to next time!”

“I am writing this review with great happiness because the service I received was beyond my expectations. I have known about this restaurant for a long time, but yesterday was my first time visiting, and I had a wonderful experience.

The food was very good, and the taste was excellent. We asked them to prepare the meat in a specific way, and they made it exactly as we requested. Their service was outstanding, especially Mr. Joe. He was very kind, respectful, and professional. He listened carefully to our instructions and made sure everything was served just the way we wanted.

I truly appreciate the great service and hospitality. Overall, the restaurant, the staff, and the food were all excellent. I would definitely recommend this place to others.”

“If you would like to make the best use of your money at this place, go on a weekday for lunch because its gonna be $25. For that price its 100% totally worth it and possibly the best hot pot to try.

Worth eating: Beef, Shrimp, fish fillets, Veggies, fruits and the soup. Just these are easily worth $25 bucks plus you get a great experience.

Rest are filler meat, frozen meat and Dessert is quite bad. There’s chicken and lamb too

Beef is possibly the only meat that I really liked here. The only thing I disliked is that we need to ask the server to bring it as we cannot pick it up ourselves. One bowl has one thin strip in it. They get two at once for a single person. The server would most likely judge you if you order a lot which I found a bit awkward as there is only one server on weekdays

Most of the other meat is frozen. Also, don’t expect high quality cut here because it’s only 25 bucks but its pretty great for the prize. Plus its a very large restaurant.

5 stars for weekdays lunch
4 stars if for weekend dinner
Service is 5 star

Server/Owner lady is very kind and sweet”

Ray's Crab Shack 5989 Mowry Ave, Newark Seafood • $$

“​Ray's Crab Shack has fantastic food. Their sauce is incredible—perfect to buy to-go for home cooking—and the shrimp, king crab legs, crab cakes, and garlic noodles never disappoint. While their customer service is usually excellent, my recent experience was a bit rocky. They mixed up my seasoning and initially argued with me about the order. After my wife and mother-in-law weighed in, they corrected the mistake. I still recommend the food, but hope the service stays consistent with past visits.”

Allstar Burger 6950 Thornton Ave, Newark Hamburger • $

“We stopped into Allstar Burgers for the first time over the weekend. Thus us an older no frills building, but it seemed to be very well kept up. 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.”

“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!”

It felt like each dish tasted just about the same. The wontons and the spicy beef noddle tasted very similar in that the broth was the same. The dumpling and the beef weren’t season too much.

“Amazing house made tortillas, thicker and puffier than normal. Note that the portion sizes here are huge so don't be turned off by the prices. The regular taco is probably the same as 2-3 normal sized tacos and you get your money's worth for sure.

Al pastor and carne asada are amazing and it's all fresh and made to other, you can see them pressing the tortillas in the side.”

Los Gallos Taqueria 6160 Jarvis Ave, Newark Mexican • $

“The exterior and interior remodel looks nice, the new logos make the building easy to find. Los Gallos Taqueria has a Luis R Conriquez wood burning mural and brings live music!

Content creators and musicians in the area visit sometimes: Herencia de Patrones (Clika), Rob the Original (master barber), and more have visited Los Gallos Taqueria.

Los Gallos Taqueria gives back to the community (i.e. turkey drive) and brings live music to Newark (corrido, grupo, mariachi nights).

We appreciate the occasional DoorDash deals! I wish DoorDash made it easier to DoubleDash EZBACHI (Newark) and Los Gallos Taqueria.

Tijuana Style tacos with Al Pastor meat are go-to, so are super nachos (custom order: add grilled onions and jalapenos, hold the sour cream).

It's easy to get here from the from Union City BART station on the AC transit 200 bus. The drive thru service is convenient for online order pickups.

They cater and do pick up orders; my last job would bulk order burritos for team meals.”

“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.”

ZSX Szechuan Rice Noodle 6180 Jarvis Ave ste b, Newark Noodles • $$

“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.”

Being from Australia and Polynesian it was interesting to try out how American polys take on Samoan dishes and I can safely say this place was on point!

“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.”

“Chef Anas and Manager Joe did it again. They prepared an off menu custom role for my daughter, then proceeded to lavish upon us one of Chef's creations. It was crispy shrimp, avocado, cream cheese and here's the best part...torched yes torched until that delicious smokiness permeates the custom roll. Absolutely top tier! I highly recommend this humble place because the commitment to hospitality comes through in everything they do!”

Happy Lemon | Newark 39151 Cedar Boulevard, 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!”

“I never leave reviews but this was the best panda express I’ve ever had. I have it a lot and it’s always hit or miss. So driving thru Newark I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was so fresh and like nothing I ever tasted. The orange chicken was truly so light and vinegar-y, not too heavy and weighed down with sauce like it sometimes can be. Eating it, I felt like they really loved me. Good portions and friendly staff. Nadine and Thomas were great. I wish this one was my neighborhood panda”

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.”

Los Gallos Taqueria 6160 Jarvis Ave, Newark Mexican • $

“The exterior and interior remodel looks nice, the new logos make the building easy to find. Los Gallos Taqueria has a Luis R Conriquez wood burning mural and brings live music!

Content creators and musicians in the area visit sometimes: Herencia de Patrones (Clika), Rob the Original (master barber), and more have visited Los Gallos Taqueria.

Los Gallos Taqueria gives back to the community (i.e. turkey drive) and brings live music to Newark (corrido, grupo, mariachi nights).

We appreciate the occasional DoorDash deals! I wish DoorDash made it easier to DoubleDash EZBACHI (Newark) and Los Gallos Taqueria.

Tijuana Style tacos with Al Pastor meat are go-to, so are super nachos (custom order: add grilled onions and jalapenos, hold the sour cream).

It's easy to get here from the from Union City BART station on the AC transit 200 bus. The drive thru service is convenient for online order pickups.

They cater and do pick up orders; my last job would bulk order burritos for team meals.”

“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!”

“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.”

Had the Iced Strawberry Matcha with the seasonal Banana Foam on top.

If you’re having decision fatigue and want something that will definitely be good, order this. The sweet, tangy strawberry complemented the matcha perfectly without overpowering it (make sure to mix it well)

The banana foam was creamy, delicious, and topped with a cookie crumble that added the perfect finishing touch.
Definitely going to come back to try their other flavors (if I ever get over this)”

“I prefer tea shops that have alternative milk and lactose-free options and have seating. Their milk teas have more flavor and are my go-to whenever I'm in the area. The matcha pudding topping is good though a little sweet, so dial down on the tea sweetness if you get it.

They have 55+ discount and also free tea on your birthday.

I've never had the souffles or other food so can't say anything about them.”
