Dynasty BBQ 5492 Central Ave, Newark Chinese • $$

“We came to here to celebrate Mother's Day, and it wasn't too crowded. We ordered quite a few different skewers, including chicken gizzard, beef, lamb, and veggies. One thing I really like about this place was the seasoning was flavorful without being too salty that you could actually tasted the meats flavor. Highly recommended!”

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

“This small and cozy restaurant offers a greasy service, but their chain of restaurants is renowned for their delicious Ramen. We started with chicken karagee, which was filled with cheese ramen, chicken ramen, house ramen, and spicy pork bowl. The food arrived quickly, within a few minutes. The chicken starter was good, with tender meat. The chicken ramen was perfectly balanced with spices, creating a flavorful bowl of food. I also tried the spicy pork bowl, which was interesting and enjoyable. To finish our meal, we had green tea softie and matcha latte float. Both were delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Overall, we had a great experience at this restaurant.”

“Great Xinjiang hot pot restaurant! I really enjoyed the welcoming service and great hospitality. Food was great and food was tasty. I was amazed that the meats especially the beef near balls. The beef tasted like organic beef. Fried rice was tasty and cold hoodies were good. A pitcher of hot tea was provided with the meal which paired well with the hot pot meal. They had a variety of fruits to end the meal. Price was reasonable for thus all-you-can-eat Xinjiang hot pot restaurant.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I usually eat at big chain restaurants, but finding Pupuseria y Taqueria Rosita during the 2026 World Cup was such a refreshing change. I stopped in to watch the Brazil vs. Morocco game and was so glad I did. Coming to a family-owned place like this was a completely different, better experience compared to the stressful and superficial vibe of major chains.

The vegetarian super burrito was meticulously prepared and absolutely delicious. Having lived abroad for a long time, being able to enjoy authentic food like this in our area feels like a real privilege. The atmosphere was incredibly family-friendly, and the service was just as great as the food. I truly hope this wonderful local business continues to thrive—they deserve it!

“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.

“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.”

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!”

“We ate there for the 1st time last Saturday. Food is delicious, service good. My kids loved the non spicy potato bolani & the traditional afghan rice dish with lamb qabili palau. The lamb that came with the dish was succulent & was devoured quickly. The kabobs & dumplings were also good. Very reasonably priced for family style eating.”

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.”

“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.”
