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!”

“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”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!”

Los Gallos Taqueria 6160 Jarvis Avenue, Newark Mexican • $

“If you want fast food, as well as authentic Mexican, this is the place!

The food preparation time was excellent, the lobby was clean with an upbeat atmosphere (and good music), and the food was delicious. And while that is enough to make a uniquely enjoyable experience, that isn't what stood out.

I'm traveling from out of state and my card was malfunctioning. Elizabeth were completely understanding that I left my password book at the hotel, which I needed to get into the app. They started making my food and were kind and positive about me leaving for 15 minutes to go back to my room. I had to call customer service and when I got back to the register I was still on the phone. Ruby had my exact order on the register before I even thought to specify, was incredibly polite, while I tried my card two more times while and patient with me while I was on the phone with rudely split attention. I got it working (I apparently had to tap it instead of inserting it) and we laughed about the silliness of it all.

I sat down and my food was out almost immediately. I forgot to specify green sauce on my enchiladas and Elizabeth offered to make them again. I was floundering because it was my fault and I felt bad, but she laughed and insisted it was fine.

I ate the Tijuana taco with asada and added the green sauce, which was delicious. The new enchiladas were out in like two minutes and I loved them.

I grew up in the area (and traveled to Mexico several times), so I am particular about my Mexican cuisine. It was great. I recommend the horchara. The only thing that wasn't immaculate was the tortilla chips, which were a little hard, but they let me try every salsa so they ended up being really good anyways!

Either way, 10/10 recommend!”

“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.”

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.”

After about a year , closed again and relocated to Lion Plaza , Newark. We then return to Ray so many times. Now during pandemic, I ordered sushi to go more often. They have a management team to reply email, answering questions, they take care of my order correctly , great job done every time. Quality of food still as good as dine in. two thumbs up”

“Been coming here for 15 years. Food consistently good. Prices are cheap. They remember who I am and remember my orders. I can order ahead of time and when I show up, the food is ready! :)

One of the few restaurants that still serve FREE tea!

And free soup (hot and sour, beef broth, corn soup) depending on the day you arrive. Can’t remember if this also applies to lunch but for dinner, a free soup bowl for each person

Plenty of parking. Accepts credit or cash

When my kids were under 5 yrs, I use to come here and they did their homework and then we ate. They never complained

I see other reviews about rude servers. There are two who have been here 20 plus years. One doesn’t speak English very well, gosh, give this mom and pop place a break!
And one reviewer says she came here 15 yrs and one bad experience after 15 yrs, they now get 1 star…sad…what happened to the other 15 yrs??”

Sia Fusion Eatery 39263 Cedar Boulevard, Newark Asian Fusion • $$

“So....ended up at this place after going to a concert at Levi Stadium, heading home to the North Bay and needing some extra late night dinner. If you like Korean food the place won't disappoint. Had the army stew, which my 17 year old son had been wanting to try for a while now, plus some kimchi rice, short rib stew and a bowl of spicy edamame that the server brought us as a free treat. Service was amazing, especially for an after midnight visit. Next time we have to try Andy's fries because I saw someone at the table next to us order them and I'll he honest, they looked like late night foodie heaven.”

Amia Bakery 5409 Central Avenue Suite 15, Newark Bakery • $

“We couldn’t believe this super delicious cakes had was actually eggless!

It was my son’s birthday, and since he has an egg allergy, I was looking for a bakery that offered eggless cakes and came across Amia Bakery. We decided to give it a try and ordered a 6-inch raspberry chocolate cake.

We were honestly so impressed. The chocolate cake was soft, moist, and delicious, and the whipped cream was light and just the right amount of sweet without being too rich. Everyone at the party loved it and kept saying how good it was.

The staff were also very friendly and helpful. I asked if they could make the cake less sweet, and they were able to accommodate my request, which I really appreciated.

We’re so happy we found Amia Bakery. It’s not easy to find a great eggless cake, and this one exceeded our expectations. We’ll definitely be ordering from them again!”

We waited about 20 min for a table, it was CROWDED. The staff was accommodating and friendly, the food over all was decent/good, but the fried chicken and fried fish had no seasoning which was weird for an Asian restaurant.
We both got fat & full and we were able to take a ice cream cone to go. They have choc/vanilla & combo swirl. AAANNNND there's sauces.... chocolate, caramel and others but those two were what I wanted...lol
Told my YG...yeah, we'll go back.

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)”
