Asian Restaurants near Newark

“Decent restaurant that is very quick with their service.

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.

The pork knuckle rice was really good. I enjoyed that very much.“

“I accidentally placed a take out order to a different Taos Fresh location on Doordash. It was figured out while I pick up. They called the other location to verify and fulfilled my order in this store. I really appreciate the flexibility and friendliness.“

“Delicious 8 veggie snowflake dumplings! Loved it!!! Thank you!“

“Food here is so good. We got the lemon pepper wings, lemongrass chicken, and roti pizza and everything was so delicious. Not greasy and yet everything was well seasoned. Definitely one of our favorite Bay Area spots for chicken now. Just amazing thank you.“

One of my family member is a vegetarian. The store can customize the meal for vegetarians.
The store managers are nice and experienced in doing business.

“Pho Lan, a true family-run establishment in Fremont, delivers exactly what matters most in Vietnamese cuisine: spectacular, authentic flavor and generous value. While this isn't the spot for a luxurious, white-tablecloth experience, it is hands down the best place to find truly delicious pho and rice dishes in the area.

The primary reason to visit Pho Lan is the food, and they execute it flawlessly. The flavors here are deeply authentic, showcasing the care and tradition that only a family business dedicated to its craft can provide.

The Pho: The star of the show is, naturally, the pho. The broth is rich, complex, and clean—the hallmark of high-quality pho. It’s clear that the broth simmers for hours, resulting in a depth of flavor that many chain restaurants simply cannot replicate. Whether you choose a classic rare steak or brisket combination, the meat is fresh, and the portion size is substantial.

Beyond the Broth: While the pho is a must-try, the kitchen excels across the board. The rice dishes are equally noteworthy, featuring perfectly cooked meats and well-balanced marinades. If you're looking for Vietnamese food that tastes just like the dishes prepared in a traditional home, Pho Lan delivers.

Pho Lan offers excellent value. The portions are notably generous, ensuring you leave completely satisfied. In an age where many restaurants are shrinking servings, Pho Lan maintains a commitment to great portion size, making it a fantastic choice for lunch or dinner without breaking the bank.

It is important to manage expectations regarding the dining environment and service. As a dedicated, family-run operation, the entire focus is on efficiency and getting excellent food to your table quickly.

Ambiance & Service: This is not a restaurant built on trendy decor or overly solicitous service. The atmosphere is simple, casual, and functional. Service is efficient and straightforward, reflecting the priority of the kitchen over the front of house flair. If the quality of the food is your main metric, you will be thrilled. If you expect a high-end, polished dining experience, you might need to adjust your expectations. Pho Lan is an honest, no-frills location dedicated to its culinary mission.

Pho Lan is a Fremont treasure. It’s the kind of local spot that deserves strong community support because they consistently nail the most important element: the food.

For authentic flavors, generous portions, and truly delicious Vietnamese cuisine—from the masterful pho broth to the flavorful rice plates—Pho Lan is highly recommended. Come support this dedicated family business and enjoy some of the best Vietnamese food Fremont has to offer.

This was long due- will post pictures next time I visit them.“

“Peaceful oasis after a stressful day of meetings.

The chicken soup broth was healing. Lightly herbal, full of veggies. The owner is really sweet and I felt really taken cared of. There’s plenty of space - great for groups big and small.

There’s a great sauce bar and orange slices and other snacks.“

“I’ve been here a few times now, whenever I’m feeling under the weather or just want something warm and soothing, their congee always hits the spot. There’s something incredibly comforting about a steaming clay pot of fresh seafood congee, especially on a cold day.

The standout dish for me is the seafood congee with crab. The seafood tastes fresh, the broth is rich and flavorful！“
