Taiwanese Restaurants near Newark, CA

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

“My husband was born in Taiwan. He said, ‘This is very close to home-cooking flavour.’ I found traditional Taiwanese cooking a bit plain, but I gave it 4 stars because it’s very hard to find authentic Taiwanese restaurants that taste this good! We will come back.“

“We order pot-roasted beef brisket square and Thai lime pepper crispy chicken, both dish tasty and delicious
On one notes, if you take out and want to eat somewhere else (not home) make sure you ask for chopsticks or fork and napkins.“

“nice people and good authentic taiwenese food“

“非常好吃，超愛煉乳銀絲卷“

“The chichen meal is good. The desert and drinks are good too.
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.
I buy food from Shihlin every week. It's now one of my favorites in Fremont.“

“There are quite a few repetitive hot pot ingredients, it would be nice to have more variety. The overall flavor is fine. However, the extra meat slices I ordered weren’t very impressive, they were just boiled and completely unseasoned. It seems they’re meant to be eaten with the hot pot but it would be better if they were served together with the hot pot instead.“

“Good portion, and delicious food“

“Mr. Lau's Steak House (劉月鐵板.居酒屋) provides authentic Taiwanese-style steak meal, which left me feeling happy after eating it. The set meal includes black pepper rib eye steak (8 ounces, medium rare), lettuce salad, garlic bread, an egg, and spaghetti. The price is so inexpensive and the meal is so delicious. I definitely will be coming back again and again!“

“This place has quickly become my favorite place to go to. My favorites are the rib eye and New York steak with a mixed sauce. The meat is high quality, rib eye is juicy and tender and the New York has the special beef texture I am looking for. The side dishes are great and the portion is big. I also like the finger foods like fish cake tempura and popcorn chicken, highly recommend them with cold beer if you are over 21!“

“This place has the best FanTuan and Taiwanese bento and street foods and drinks in the east bay, there hasn’t been a comparable place in a long time, but be prepared to wait an hour after you order. Hope they up their cook staff on weekends!“

“Juicy Crispy Chicken, plum fries, mushroom and mee USA are the must order for me’“

“I saw a foodie rave about this restaurant, and a wonton restaurant is rare in the area, so it's been on my list to visit.

We got the Taiwanese wonton soup (large), the spicy chili oil dry wonton, the five spice fried tofu (mild), and a fish filet rice plate.

The wonton soup is so good. It's also very pretty. They have green onion and the smallest celery.

I love chili oil wontons so I had to order the spicy chili oil dry wonton. It's not the most aesthetic dish, but it is good. The sauce is unassuming but is quite spicy. I had to take breaks between eating them.

I also liked the five spice fried tofu. I got mild which was not spicy at all.

The fish filet rice plate came with lots of sides, but the filet was just okay. We took it home so it's not in its optimal crispy state.

Overall I felt I didn't eat much but felt satiated. We had plenty of leftovers that we ate the next day for another meal. And both times I felt sooo full. It is very filling!“

“Will come again for sure.“

“Authentic Taiwanese food 🥘 our family just went there and the owner was so friendly. We drove all the way from San Francisco and we can not wait to eat when we go back.“

“January 2026:
My family has been asking me to drop by this shop for about a month for Ba-wan (or Mah-wan). They are a large meat dumpling with a whitish-translucent skin, made from a rice flour. It is considered a popular Taiwanese street food and served with a red(-ish) sauce on top.
Pricing is 5.25 each + tax. Each meat dumpling is individually wrapped in plastic wrap, making it simple to purchase however many you want. It will come with a small tub of sauce, so the shop prefers that you purchase the dumplings in sets of 3 or 4. (I have no idea how sauce is presented to you if you order a single dumpling.)

Staff at the shop was pleasant enough. They let me take photos and answered my questions.

I paid cash. I didn't look to see if they take card or alternate payments. I don't think so?

Parking in this shopping center can be absolutely crazy during meal times. Crickets empty at 7pm sometimes. Best to bring a driver and a shopper where the driver just waits to pick up the shopper without needing to locate a parking spot. Takeout is probably best.

I will brave the parking lot to return when the family starts requesting meat dumplings again.“

“Great food and great service“

“I stopped by Cafe Mei in Fremont for a quick breakfast and tried their Signature Pork Sung Sandwich. Wow, what a treat! The sandwich was perfectly toasted, with a flavorful pork patty, fresh cucumber, and that sweet mayo that ties it all together. It felt like a true taste of Taiwan, just like the reviews mentioned. The staff was super friendly, and the vibe was cozy yet trendy. Only wish they had longer hours for us late risers! Highly recommend for anyone craving an authentic Taiwanese breakfast sandwich.“
