“I come here all the time! It's such a great alternative to regular hot pot because you get to choose what ingredients you want :) highly recommend if you're super picky about what's in your soup. The staff are always super nice and greet you with a smile. I will note: most of the service is self-serve so you're expected to make your own sauces and get your own drinks. Overall, I love bringing friends and family here because everyone leaves full and happy“
“I would highly recommend the black sesame with coconut filling birthday cake. It is so yummy and not sweet. Great and friendly customer service. I have ordered the same birthday cake two months in a row. This will be my Go To place for getting birthday cakes. Please support our local restaurants.“
“With a flavorful array of meat and fish dishes, this near institutional Cambodian restaurant in Oakland dishes out a very satisfying meal.638. TREI CHAP CHEAN TURK CHHOU-AIM, a crispy-fried whole Pompano fish topped with sweet-and-salty stir-fried ground pork: good mixed with good to create yum!426. LEMONGRASS PORK RIBS, perfectly charbroiled with fragrant spices.109. SPICY PAPAYA SALAD, crisp and crunchy, a refreshing accompaniment to the richness in dishes.An excellent option for Southeast Asian in East Bay, where the standard is already set very high.“
“Excellent service all around, starting with prompt responses to my questions over text message, to a warm welcome when we arrived and attentive service from all the staff throughout our dining experience. All the dishes we ordered were amazing; from the raw and grilled oysters, salads, to the sandwiches/entrees and hand crafted cocktails/drinks, everything was delicious. What a gem in this neighborhood! Definitely recommend, especially if you are celebrating a special occasion. We had such a great time for my birthday.“
“Surprised by their varieties of choices. We ordered two flavors with very similar names, both related to sour and spicy flavors, but we were thrilled to find that the two flavors are very different from each other, even though they are all sour and spicy flavors, the sourness actually comes from different types of ingredients. One is aged vinegar while the other one tastes more like from pickled vegetables and sauce. Portion and price is good too. Good choice if you’re in the area looking for some comfort food.“
“I can honestly say if you go here you will not at all regret it! The atmosphere is super nice, the staff is amazing, and the food! The food was absolutely amazing and between the 3 of us we ordered way too much but everything was delicious, definitely worth the trip!“
“Second time coming here and had different food items. All were amazing. The spices used and the quality of the food is really great. I so enjoy this restaurant. B, our server was wonderful. she was gracious, knowledgeable, and gave us good suggestions on what to order. It was a great night.“
“We have now been here several times. This the perfect 1/2 way point between picking my son and going home. It is across from the Coast Guard Island. The location is safe. Plenty of parking. We come for the FILIPINO STYLE barbecue and friendly service. Everything is great! Especially when the mother-in-law makes a surprise visit and cooks up her specialty pansit (not on the menu). Everything is fresh and cooked (and barbecued) with love. I think we’ve tried everything now. My favorite is toss between the FILIPINO STYLE barbecue Banh Mi sandwich and “THANK QUE” chicken bowl. There are a few tables inside and when the weather is nice, plenty of seating outside. I look forward to hearing live music in the future out there.Parking: Parking is shared with the charter school during weekday school hours. Take notice of parents, zooming in/out of their designated entrance and exit at the end of the school day!“
“I discovered this restaurant through yelp. It is a tiny hole-in-the-wall place with less than 10 tables. They are used to catering to offices and a to-go place. Incredible Food - the flavors of are unique and delicious. Food is medium spicy. Service is fantastic - I got good recommendations - Salmon Curry, Chicken Momo, Veg Fried Rice, Paneer Masala Curry and Garlic Naan. After the meal, even the chef came out to meet us. It is awesome to meet a friendly Fremont family owned establishment. I would strongly recommend trying this out.“
“First time, it was a great experience. The brightness of the business color was cool as I rode past They had the garage doors open and I noticed they have a nice long bar in the back area of the place. I parked and walked in to see the huge bright menu. They must known I was blind lol ? but I never been in and stood there hungry and intimidated by this cool big menu that sounds so great when you're hungry, everything sounded good, until a few orders came out and the gentleman nicely explained what they were and I got the rice bowl with the pork, with fried egg was fire ? it just enough to satisfy my appetite and I didn't need to take anything home. It was just enough, very tasty with the little interesting salad. I don't know what it was, but it was damn good, check my pictures.“
“I just discovered this amazing place and I am in love with it. The food is delicious and satisfying. The restaurant itself is amazing with lots of indoor and outdoor seating, a full cocktail bar, and a very large sushi bar. Please go check it out cuz it is cool and a great find in Castro valley, California.“
“Our party of 19 ate here the night after Christmas. Yo's on Hartz is such a nice and intimate place to eat. The manager, Evelyn, made sure our large party was well taken care of and gave excellent meal recommendations. Everyone enjoyed their food and cocktails. We look forward to dining here again!“
“This is one of the better lunches I've had in a long time. The portion size is huge and tastes really good. Simple abs fresh ingredients. The service is quick and everyone was friendly and helpful. I've gotten take out and I've dined in it's definitely better if you have the time to sit down and eat.“
“I love this place as it offers one of the best Selections of Sizzling plates.You may choose your own type of meat (chicken-beef-fish with a side of veggies) or add on an appetizer.I also loved their hawaaiian plate with BBQ galbi,rice and macaroni.My ultimate favorite here is Beef Kimchi sizzling plate, calamari,walnut shrimp and crispy chicken,mango green tea,basic crispy french fries, etc.But im not a fan of potstickers though.Plus this place is super clean,with a clean bathroom as well.Servers are very attentive and approachable.I will definitely try other snacks and dish next time“
“This place has been my all-time favorite. It's 'all you can eat style' hot pot, with selection of individual small pot or large shared pot.Lunch after the tax is around 22, and dinner is around 35 per person. There is another vegetarian option as well.Drinks are self served and unlimited.You can order 4 kinds of meet at the beginning. Vegetables, mushrooms, and other items are self-serving.Usually, there is no time limit, but do expect 1 hour limit during busy hours.Few tips. If you order the same kind of meat twice when placing an order, they usually bring you only one plate.The most classic combinations are spicy marrow and original marrow. The seven star pepper beef soup is the best but will cost an extra 8 dollars.“
“SOLID! I work in alameda so I've been coming to this location for YEARS! Go-to:SALT AND PEPPER WINGS (good size wings:meaty) I get it without the Jalepenos - they dust them with what seems like sugar or something to give it a some sweetness which I like The fries that come with it are the skinny type which compliment the wings. CRAB FRIED RICE- my friend told me about this item and been in love with it ever since! When I first got them there was SO much crab per rice ratio! Over the years though sometimes the crab ratio would be a little less but then I would come back and it would be better. I guess it depends on the season too if crabs are in season or not? Vibe inside has always been cool good music and Good size tvs for sports. What not. Don't forget to save room for dessert and grab you some ice cream too!!!!“
“We stumbled upon this place while looking for Halal meat pizzas. They have halal options in Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Tikka Pizza. The taste was really good and the toppings were rich. We also tried desi sticks as appetizers and really enjoyed that.Overall a nice experience and would recommend.“
“Dining at the restaurant was a delightful experience! Their grilled fish is simply exquisite, with a crispy and flavorful fried exterior, complemented by a variety of delicious accompanying side dishes and fragrant pork kidney flowers. Highly recommended for those who enjoy Sichuan cuisine.“
“The food is tasty and spicy, which I like, I ordered the Mongolian beef. It wasn't clear or stated on the order platform that this was just the Mongolian Beef. Apparently it does not come with rice which is very disappointing. It should be clear on the order app that this doesn't come with rice. This is first time I didn't get rice with my Chinese meal.“
“Been coming to this place ever since i was 5 years old ! It been 25 years and even though i do not live here anymore i always try to make a stop. My personal fav love the bell pepper beef. They dont take debit card so make sure to get cash. This place brings so much family memories of me and my parents eating or getting to go every sunday. I love that they are afforable and decent portions and the taste and quality off the food is amazing. They are super nice we made a order super late did not know they were gonna close and the guys said it was okay that he will wait. Best chinese food in the area.“
“Our barista was very very friendly and helpful. It was an absolute joy of an experience that I dream about at night. My wonderful barista made me feel at home and reminded me of my own mother with her flowing ponytail and lovely demeanor who died in a car accident two years ago. It is safe to say I will be coming back!!!!“
“Went here with my friends to celebrate the end of finals week. The waitress was so nice! You're allowed to eat as a minor but I'm pretty sure all their alcoholic beverages require IDIf you ever come here, you need to try their fried rice. Its really delicious! I also recommend their chicken skewers, it was so juicy and tender and I just loved it.Overall the final bill came out to be around 150 for around 2 fried rice, 1 hot pot, 1 chicken skewer, 1 wagyu skewer, 1 fried potato thingy, and 1 garlic fries. 10/10 would do again“
“Good food. Service is good as long as the manager/owner is helping wait the tables. Parking can be really challenging, depending on what day and time it is. Usually the parking is hard to find on weekends and evenings.Parking: The location is at the corner of A St x Hesperian, next to BK and other stores so parking lot is full of patrons going to all the other businesses around“
“Exceptional experience here. The Chinese skewers were incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. The owner's warmth and genuine interest in customer satisfaction added a special touch to the dining experience. They were eager to hear feedback and offered great advice on menu choices. Can't wait to visit again!“
“I used to be a regular at Pho King next door, since it’s an Oakland institution. But then I tried the oxtail soup at Tasty Bowl and now I almost always end up at Tasty Bowl. My partner gets the vermicelli bowl, which is fresh and yummy, and the shrimp cake appetizer is exceptional as well. Friendly service, much like the other family pho spots in the neighborhood.“
“Tandoori sticks were delicious.Paneer Pesto pizza was delicious.Tiki Masala pizza was too spicy for me. I would choose a mild pizza in the future.I will come back.Wheelchair accessibility: All tables were booths or high tables. Not wheelchair friendly at all. I had to sit at the end of a booth table out in the middle of the floor. That was the only option.“
“Excuse my French but....THIS PLACE SO MF GOOD !! I rarely leave reviews but I had to for this one. They knew what they were doing naming this place "yummy yummy" y'all know how Keith Lee syncs into his seat when the food hits ?!? Baby that was me on the ride back to work lol. Thought I'd just get a little taste and baby I tore that trio plate up ! It was my first time so I went during their lunch time and they have an amazing lunch special. Everything is seasoned to perfection! The rice is cooked perfectly the steak butter and literally melts the chicken is tender and I've been to every hibachi in the bay and sometimes the chicken can be a bit dry but not at yummy yummy ! The veggies were even seasoned perfectly! I also got a lobster in the side and there was some garlic butter that didn't quite melt and I scooped it up with that piece of lobster meat.....orgasmic!! So happy I gave this place a try I will definitely be coming back again !!“
“I've been looking for a good dumplings place near home and I found it! The dumplings were flavorful and juicy. Took a friend from Hawaii there for her favorite food- Shanghai soup Dumplings. She loved it! Even my picky 100 year old Godmother gave it the thumbs up. We tried other dishes too: salt and pepper wings and tomato chow mein with tofu ( will skip the tofu next time - tasteless). Will be back to try the other dumplings.“
“I loved the decor and during the afternoon tea time the soup was great. (it is their specialty) I go here often for their food.Update (6/23): post-pandemic they no longer have the happy hour menu so mostly go there for their club sandwich and curry.“
“Came here for a christmas dinner. We did make reservations ahead of time given the holiday. We arrived a few minutes early, but they were able to accommodate us gracefully given the calendar. The ambiance of a low key, quiet holiday was exactly what we were looking for! The tapas came out nice and hot, very tasty! The meal was staggered with enough time to enjoy each morsel. And we even had enough to take home for lunch the next day. Now, the true test of takeaway, the food was still heckin tasty on day two! 12 out of 10, I would recommend this place! (In fact, i already wrote home about it!)“
“This was somewhat pricey as meals go, but it being all you can eat makes it much better for people concerned about being full after hot pot without paying a huge amount. I enjoyed mixing my sauces with ingredients like green onion and minced garlic. Picking out a few new things from the case to try without needing to get a set amount and paying for a thing I might not like was a good perk. Soft drinks and dessert, tasty coconut pudding, being included was another great upside. The spicy broth was good. I wasn't that impressed with the chicken coconut broth and I didn't really like the raw chicken that came with it. The other meats were fine, but some of the beef was somewhat chewy.“
“We ordered delivery from Doordash and enjoyed it. We tend to order low carb high protein meals that we can reheat for the next few days and we didn't feel the greens bowls suffered from a light reheating in the microwave. There are cheaper options than Umami Express but we liked that we could get double the proteins and even side orders of the proteins, and the meat was really tasty. Will definitely order again:Chicken greens bowl -- especially with added avocado. The chicken is really moist and flavorful. My partner liked all the tastes in the protein lover's bowlMight not order again:The wagyu beef is definitely over seasoned, though I loved the texture -- not as good as the chicken but I was happy to have a beef option I wasn't super fond of the tofu because it has an ordinary texture and the seasoning was too heavy on paprika for my taste. My partner liked it. I usually like water chestnuts and pickled onions but neither of them added much to my enjoyment of the bowls so I will probably leave them out next timeI haven't figured out which of the two sauces I tried (lemon garlic soy sauce or garlic sesame soy sauce) was the one I preferred because I got them mixed up, but I think it was the garlic sesame because it was creamy and tasted of tahini. Overall a nice addition to our healthy takeout list!“
“The service was warm and dang, this ice cream is DELICIOUS! I've never seen fresh fruit and fresh cream used to create ice cream right in front of my eyes and it did not disappoint! It was so good we went back again the next day so my partner could try it.Looking forward to trying the bowls!“
“We always enjoy the food here (this time Steak, Risotto, 2 way chicken, Salmon), although the menu seemed more limited than last time (6 months ago). Unfortunately there was a huge birthday party going on (including video screen, etc.) and they gave them a microphone which blasted through the whole restaurant. Good wine selection and I always enjoy the Doubtfire cocktail (jalapeño infused tequila),“
“Absolutely delicious. The Calamari was amazing although I wish there was a dipping sauce. The crab app was my favorite . The chicken and salmon (main dishes) were very good. Service was excellent as our server was always replacing our water A bit odd location but when in town, I would definitely go here again“
