10 Best Asian Restaurants near San Pablo

“First, we ordered the Nam Khao, ginger scallion kidney, papaya salad, and chicken wings for appetizers. The papaya salad was a little on the sweet side for me. The Nam Khao was pretty good, ESPECIALLY when I ate it with the pickled chili peppers. The kidneys were good too. I ate that with a side of steamed rice. My son ate the chicken wings (about 6 wings per order), so I didn't get to try it. He liked them and wanted to order another set.Then we moved on to soup. I ordered the Chow Jou with thin egg noodles. I didn't know there was an option to have the broth on the side, but I wanted it all together. The broth was bland. I needed to add salt, soy sauce, and pepper. I'm not one to usually add anything to my soup broth. The stuff inside the soup was good: chicken breast, ground pork, pork kidney, fish cake, fish ball, and shrimp. The slices of fish cake were small and it only came with one fish ball cut in half. Overall, I thought the Chow Jou was a 3.5/5.My husband ordered the pineapple fried rice. I'm allergic to pineapple, so I couldn't try it. The presentation of it was nice though.“

“Very good. I'm not really a fan of Chinese food but my son asked it was his birthday and the place we usually order from was closed. I have to admit it was really good. I ordered chicken chow mein, fried rice, beef broccoli, sweet sour pork, sesame chicken, and gyoza. Everything was delicious hot fresh flavorful and quick. Keep n mind this was the 4th of July, they were open and the guy who took my order was really nice and attentive. This will be my new spot“

“Very delicious authentic Asian cuisine. The pork and duck combo were magnificent. The owner/operator is super nice. Hong Kong ice milk tea is a great sipper on a hot day. I'm not sure about seating, but I took it to go, so it wasn't an issue. Very reasonable prices.“

“Omfg. Want Michelin star level food in delightfully casual digs at normal-people prices? This is your spot. Just had the most melt-in-your-mouth brisket bowl. Beef was eye-wateringly delicious. Veggies steamed to a crunchy perfection. Jasmine rice fluffy. Annoying work day forgotten! Was going to take it to go and ended up staying to eat, drink some rose, and chill out in the cute surroundings. Officially one of my new fave spots“

“Staff are nice and the bowl is good.
It’s a popular restaurant here so it might be flooded with students around lunch time, and the waiting time might be longer during peak hours.

Only things is that the tips is mandatory as there’s no other option when you order through the pad.
Also, since they’re generous with their sauce, if you don’t like too much sauce, choose “sauce on the side” option and not mix in. ?

“Small shop with warm food and an open fridge section of sushi. There was also a wall of snacks. Prices are very reasonable. No verbal communication which I think is fine but the woman dropped my packed sushi upside down and then tossed it into a bag. Sushi rice was a bit too hard for my liking.“

“Our family hosted a 62nd Bday party at the lovely Zaiqa Indian and Pakistani Restaurant Banquet Hall. This place truly deserves 5 star plus rating. Excellent experience dealing with the restaurant owner Ron. All of his staff made us feel very welcomed and were very accommodating during our event. Food was very delicious and our guests complimented it very highly. Would highly recommend this place for it's authentic Indian/Pakistani food!!“

“Been coming to here for years. The pho soups, all the vermicelli, the rice plates, the appetizers, and the beverages are always amazing. I am so happy this place is still here till this day.
The broth is always so good in their soups.“

“This is my new favorite location. I usually go to Alameda, but the Oakland location is my new favorite! The staff are always friendly! My lemon pepper wings are ALWAYS on point. They have had one mess up with my order once, but they immediately provided GREAT customer service and resolved the issue immediately. They are my go-to spot for when I want to treat myself to lunch, and I don't eat out at many places ever since covid. They are a well trusted business and no issues or complaints! Try their lemon pepper wings and strawberry lemonade! Their garlic noodles and house rice are good as well.“
