“Went for the naengmyeon on a hot day. So refreshing!! I love that the soup was like a slushy instead of ice cubes. We also got seafood pancakes and the LA galbi. Both were delicious as well. Gotta come back in the winter to try their hot soups.”
“Great food, authentic Indian flavors, and excellent service! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the portions were generous. Definitely a great spot for Indian cuisine in Union City—highly recommend!”
“Our favorite place for a date night in Union City! Fantastic menu choices and delicious food every time.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Fresh food, made to order, great service, good price for quality food”
“Best and most underrated ramen in the Bay! The broth is so flavorful, the texture of the noodles is perfect, and the pork belly is so crispy. Good portions for the price and the owners/service are great. My personal fav is the TanTan! Can be a little salty so request less salt :)”
“Went here with my wife and daughter and we got a table right away. It seemed like they had just opened and were still getting everything ready. The servers were young, and they were upfront with us that the food was going to take a little while.
It also seemed like they didn’t have a huge kitchen staff, but somehow they still managed to pull everything together and get the food out. Honestly, it was 100% worth the wait. The food was so good, it felt like Jesus himself came down and cooked for us 😂.
Prices were friendly, the food was tasty, and the overall experience was awesome. You could tell they were working hard, and they still delivered a great meal despite being a little short-staffed.
Definitely a place I’d come back to. And if you don’t like the food… just go home and boil some instant noodles 😂.
Also, I found them while scrolling thru IG shorts.”

“Finally made the 90-minute trek to Dave’s Hot Chicken with the fam! 🍗 The vibe was great—super friendly staff and a very clean spot despite the crowd. The chicken was fresh, hot, and delicious. Only downside was no cheese sticks today, but that just gives us an excuse to come back soon!”
“Sweet Mex makes the BEST Mangonada around! They're unmatched. They also make delicious food. The Carne asada tacos are delicious, the street corn is tastey, & the tostiloco's satisfies every bit of my savory craving for the day. Basically, they have a little something for everyone! Salty, Sweet, refreshing...you name it, they GOT IT! 🤩”

“Really tasty chicken and spice was perfect. I enjoy the music they play and it’s very chill and calm when everyone is eating and vibing, lots of seating and not over crowded. The fries were also very crispy and big. Dave’s hot chicken was just way too packed full of children and too busy to bother to order and dine in. We saw this place was close by open late and we all went and really enjoyed the food ten times better not to mention they have a drive thru too if you don’t want to go inside and order. Definitely will be back!”
“Lamb was very tender and girthy, it was especially good raw. The lack of soda perplexed me, I gained over 25 pounds after eating here! Finally I way 440 pounds. The laterally thin rice dessert completely satisfied my cravings. The nice whitish liquid, that elicited a delicious reaction with my pink tongue, wowed my world. Overall my chakra levels increased and I can now go on to master spinjutsu! We love you Tecca! 10/10”
“Great Food, Chill Vibe, and Friendly Service!
Bar Bay Grill in Union City is such a hidden gem! I come here at least 2 times a week for 10 years. It has that perfect balance of a cozy neighborhood spot with a modern, clean feel. I love coming here on Fridays because it's usually packed.
The curry chicken is a must! It's actually addicting.
Grilled garlic butter oysters are flavor- packed.
Stir-fried vermicelli, delicious and huge portion.
The freshest oysters I've ever had . They have $1 oysters on select days.
Garlic fries are garlicky and flavorful.
Chicken Karage, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Their homemade aioli is made for the heavens.
The chicken skin is ok. It is a bit too crispy for me.
Service was also on point. The servers are always attentive, friendly, and check- in just enough without hovering. I remember one of our servers was named Phoebe. She was super- sweet.
Whether you're meeting friends for drinks or grabbing a casual bite, even for a date, this place is definitely worth a VISIt.
My only complaint is they don't open earlier for lunch anymore.
I still highly recommend this place!
Also if you bring your receipt over to the dessert boba shop next door, Caffe.in, you get 10% off your order.”

“It’s an outdated and old Chinese food restaurant with no atmosphere at all but the handmade food here are so delicious. The food presentation is not well done but it’s authentic Chinese cuisine for sure”
“The food at Kura is very consistent every time i come. Its a fun quick bite that is also super filling if you dont know how to pace yourself like me. With reservation i am usually in and out in about 30 minutes full and happy. Sometimes the drinks take a bit to reach the table but never unbearably long. Over all good experience.”
“The food here was AMAZING! The service was very quick and all of the waitstaff were extremely kind and welcoming. I don't have any pictures to include because my friends and I ate it so quickly after it came out! Would highly suggest this as a dimsum spot for people to come eat!”
“L&L Hawaiian Barbecue always delivers on delicious, authentic Hawaiian flavors! Their plate lunches are incredibly satisfying, with generous portions of perfectly cooked meat and macaroni salad. The Katsu Chicken and BBQ Mix are my go-to's. It's a taste of Hawaii right here, and the service is always friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!”
“Everything here was surprisingly good. Service was good, restaurant is cute and small. With the restaurant being small a 2 seat table is tiny. Like one appetizer and entre tiny. Got the fried egg rolls and kow soi duck, first time trying duck. Both are really good. Will be back again”
“Muy rica y buena comida! Sabor y porciones muy buenas! El personal muy agradable y muy serviciales. El lugar bueno y limpio aunque escondido pues está en una zona de oficinas. Pero en general 💯 por 💯 recomendado 👍”
“I really like the drinks here and how you can customize . I usually get no sweetness and less ice. I feel like they use some high quality tea as the tea flavor shines thru the fruitiness and flavors. Their drink qualities are very consistent and always refreshing and they have fast service. I got the peach yakult tea today no added sweetness which is nice cause it was already sweet!”
Takeout Restaurants
“Elegant, delicious, truly artisan donuts. The unique flavors and beautiful products show off a love for the craft of baking that goes far beyond mere donuts. I highly recommend Doughweime for any time that your sweet tooth is active, but especially for special occasions when you want your desserts to stand out. Awesome!”
“I work nearby and googled “Bahn mi near me” and found this highly rated place. The line was out the door a little before noon and someone called them a “staple go-to of Union City” and told me you have to get there early.
I got a sandwich and spring rolls for like $16 total and I’m used to paying like $20-25 at other places”

“Yesenia is a recipe genius! Every dish I've tried from her blog has been a hit. Her recipes are easy to follow and always turn out delicious. If you're looking for foolproof recipes that will impress your taste buds, she's your go-to. Maltese local dishes .. elevated, sophisticated, just perfect!”
“Listen if you’re looking for a place that is packed full of flavor with none of that extra show frill. This is the place! Super quick and every meal is packed to the brim. I always end up with half the box for dinner later. The owners are super friendly and gave some suggestions to try over the basic Alfredo sauce. Very much a lunch staple or a I don’t want to cook on the way home grab type of meal.”

“I've been contemplating going to this place for years. I wasn't able to stop by there because I was always at work. I finally went with my family and they don't miss a beat. It was on point. I will go there every week if I could. Everything was tender. Delicious, flavorful, colorful and pretty much healthy, which is rare nowadays. You can tell that they have been in this business for a while cuz they know what they're doing”
“Really enjoyed our meal at Fang Kee Claypot Rice in Newark! The three-item braised platter with pig feet, pork stomach, and pork tongue was the highlight—everything was flavorful, tender, and well-seasoned. The signature eel claypot rice was delicious, with fragrant rice, savory sauce, and crispy bits at the bottom. The mushroom chicken claypot rice was also tasty and a milder option.
If you’re dining with two people, ordering the large size is a better value and makes it easier to share. Just note that the vegetable dishes can be a little pricey—the garlic stir-fried choy sum was $16. Overall, a great East Bay spot for comforting Chinese claypot rice and braised dishes.”

“Stopped by Red Ribbon Bakeshop and had a great experience! The team was very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They greeted me with a smile and made the whole visit quick and pleasant.
The Chicken Empanada was so good. It’s definitely one of my favorite snacks from Red Ribbon and never disappoints!”

“We've been regulars at Tacos Papo for a while now, so decided to use them to cater an outdoor birthday party recently. They absolutely knocked it out of the park! From start to finish, Ana was wonderful to work with, figuring out what works best for us. The food was delicious and a total crowd-pleaser, every single guest loved it. They thoughtfully packed and prepared everything, nothing was missing and everything arrived in perfect order. We'll definitely be back and would highly recommend them for both a casual meal and any special event!”
“I don't get the low average score. Sushi was good and the price was right. Only thing that could have been a little better is the bathroom could have been a little cleaner. Super sticky floor and kind of dirty features. Service was fast and friendly. I'll probably be back if I'm in the neighborhood.”
“Have been going to dragon house since i was 14 years old one of the best restaurants in union city very clean and friendly staff. Mongolian chicken and honey walnut prawns
Kid-friendliness: They have always been kind to our kids, they love coming here. Both have come since babies one is 10 and one is four and they both love Dragon House”

“Very small Valerio’s place here in Union City. Lucky that there weren’t a lot of people here, but you’d probably get some good Filipinos goodies here. They also display other foods from the display bar if you’re up for a snack. I just wanted to get one thing there and that’s all.”
“TocoTea at Union City is selected as I passed by this area for the first time.
Okinawa tea drink is recommended, indeed, it's so good, right fresh taste, along with chewy of coffee jelly and honey Boba 💗
Chicken wings is so delicious too, crispy taste. It would make it perfect if it has less sprinkle of salt seasonings on top.
The Staffs are sincere and nice.
Would love to come back! 😍 💗💗”
“The owner lady Alecia welcomed us beautifully, she's so polite and lovely! Introduced us with all the freshly made articles and we decided to have a Vanilla Tres Leches. I have no words to describe! It's just amazing and I'm definitely going to visit again.
Do not consider negative reviews at all, just visit once and decide yourself! Best wishes to the team and especially Alecia!”
“My 10-year-old son and I visit here often, and it's become one of our favorite late-night spots. This weekend we even came on both Friday and Saturday because he loves it so much.
This weekend the guy at the register (I didn't catch his name, but he was tall) was an absolute sweetheart to my son while he was ordering for himself. He even remembered my son the second night we came. He was so kind and patient, and he made my son feel comfortable and confident. As a parent, those little interactions really stand out and mean a lot.
My son loves the brown sugar latte, mango smoothie, and wings, and the food is always consistent. I also appreciate that they're open late since I get off work later in the evening. Weekends are definitely busy, but it's easy to see why--it's a popular spot with the locals.
5/5! Most of those stars are for the amazing customer service from the guy at the register.”
“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”
“This was the BEST food I’ve had since moving to Cali! I’ve been searching for the right spot and I’ve found it! My Wor Wonton soup was AMAZING!!! I can’t wait to try more dishes!!! I will definitely be a regular!”
“All I can say is ??? Wow!!! Came in for supper and was DELIGHTED To the sounds of a live band!!!! Awesome sounds and really down homey tasting food. Will definitely. Be back!!!!!”
“Their customer service is TOP level! Best desi cuisine in California that I’ve tried. Haji Dawood & Ismail were extremely amazing with their service. Can’t wait to go again.”

“Reminds me of childhood! My family has been coming to this Tapioca Express Union City location for a long time now. We love getting the milk tea, classic green milk tea, and the snow drinks. 30% sweet is perfect for me and sometimes I like to add boba (which has a nice texture). The popcorn chicken is also good (I prefer ITea's texture but I really love the flavor of the chicken here).
The service has a no frills but friendly vibe that I find genuine and I come so often that we recognize each other now! It is always pleasant to see them :)
All in all, if you're looking for a milk tea that reminds you of the 2010's taiwanese milk tea, I would highly recommend coming to this specific location!”

“Sai is the sweet guy who helped my son and I.
He was by himself, as his coworker called in sick. Sai helped the dinner rush and still got our pizza, buffalo chicken wings, garlic knots and brownies out with great timing!! Clean location, air conditioned while waiting, and professional 👌 😌
Papa John's of our choice!!”

“Da Good Vibes offers a delicious fusion of Filipino, American, and Hawaiian dishes. When they replaced the old restaurant, I honestly thought I was going to miss the previous menu, especially the mochiko chicken, which was the old spot’s specialty. I remember hoping the new restaurant would have great food too, but oh my gosh, they exceeded my expectations from day one.
I’ve been a loyal fan ever since. I’ve tried most of their menu, and their roasted beef is my absolute favorite. It’s incredibly delicious, although it’s only offered for a limited time. The chicken adobo and guava-glazed pork are close runners-up, and the chili rice is just as flavorful. The staff is so warm and welcoming that I already feel like family whenever I visit. Kudos to the chef!”
“I love the fresh hot pandesal, they’re huge and fluffy. I also really like their taho for breakfast. I haven’t tried anything else but I have tried the taho and pandesal and I’ve been getting them consistently. The workers are nice and welcoming and they are happy to answer questions if you have any. I prefer this place over Valerio’s for sure”
“Great atmosphere family friendly and everyone saying hello acknowledging the customers. Had the bbq chicken rice and pork sinigang soup, very good well seasoned. Staff saved our Christmas dinner and helped us with a last minute order of their whole cooked Lechon! Wonderful service and food, will definitely be back and recommending anyone to come here for a family meal.”
“I was new to Panera and didn’t know how to use the computer menu. The people up front were friendly and quickly took my order, saving me from ordering everything wrong. I ordered a Turkey sandwich and French onion soup that was super yummy. The manager Sabbath asked if I wanted to sign up for the Sip Club and explained how it works. I signed up and use it almost every day.
I’m super happy Panera is now in Union City. It’s my go to place. I just picked up the brown sugar cinnamon bagels and am stoked to have one for breakfast tomorrow.”

“Came here in December with a group. Sichuan style broth was really good (obviously spicy and so a bit hard to eat, but there was still flavor). Vegetable/meat options were plentiful. Would absolutely come back.”
