Stopped in for the first time and have to say the food is excellent! We got the Mochiko chicken and garlic shrimp. The car smelled like garlic all the way home. Ono! Will definitely be back.

The BEST LAING that I've ever tried!!! Just need a little bit more rice underneath coz it's so yummy! I also love the outside dining space. I would have given 5-Stars but something is missing- DESSERT! Lol How about some Fried Turon Banana with Jackfruit and Halo-halo for dessert? :)

I have eaten here twice so far. Both times I really enjoyed the food. The first time I had the Mochiko chicken plate, and the second time I tried the Chili rice bowl. The chicken was crispy and hot with a sweet and tangy sauce. The Chili rice bowl was savory and semi spicy, packed with ground beef and slices of Portuguese sausage! Next time I come back I have my mind set on the Sisig chop cheese, which my friends have said is very good! There is no indoor dining that I am aware of, but there is the Birdhaus beer garden right next door where you can relax and eat your food while sipping down a pint or two of craft beer! The people are very friendly and they get your food out very quickly! I would definitely recommend Lone Crow if you are in the mood for something a little different with a lot of flavor!

I really wanted to like this place but I’m finding it a bit lack luster. I ordered the mochiko chicken plate. $18. The chicken was fried decently but lacked flavor so I had to add shoyu. The two things that really didn’t shine was the rice. For an “Asian/Hawaiian” inspired place they sure need help with their rice cooking method. It was cooked with too much water causing it to be half separated rice and half mushy but a watered down flavor. Moving on to the more bizarre part of the dish. The Mac /Potato. There was mac and then cubes of potatoes in the Mac salad. Not a good combo at all. I hope they consider changing that, it’s gross. The kale salad was really good. I think I’d try again if I’m in the area because the outdoor area was nice.

Came here about a week ago and the food was absolutely amazing. Even though i forgot to get my pick up order the day i scheduled it, the owner was still able to make it for me the next day. Thank you so much for the amazing food and service!

The parking kind of sucks, but the food is good; however, I was very disappointed with the white rice. Half of the rice was good and half was just mushy.

Food: Taste like a mom'n pops food. Had the Loco Moco and although a little bit on the salty side, it was hella good and would have again.

Atmosphere: Modern yet casual, their staff was really awesome and hella friendly. Would highly recommend this place.

Actually SO yummy.My friend and I shared the mochiko chicken plate. The mac salad is well seasoned, above your average mac salad from the salad bar. The kale, tomato, and cucumber was drenched in such yummy sauce as well (idk what it was but it had a hint of sweetness which liked) and the star of the show, the CHICKEN. Absolutely glorious. The only thing have had that can realy compare it to is a perfect karage. It is so tender, juicy, and the perfect amount of crispy. The sauce and rice are given in just the right portions to compliment this mouthwatering chicken. The staff was also really kind, adding to the overall welcoming and relaxed mood of the place. The inside is well decorated with some good times playing along with two indoor seating areas. The rest of the seating is outside with these umbrellas for sunny days so it is pretty open to you and your friends to chill and hang out for however long you want. Outside, there is self-served water as well as a bar for drinks but is still family friendly. The place is also overall well kept, being very clean. The vibes of the place were overall good and very enjoyable.The size of this meal is pretty hefty, it is $17 after all. It is so good though could eat up the whole thing myself but probably be on the verge of exploding at the end so would definitely recommend to share with a friend or you could save the rest for later. However, I definitely want to return to try more of their menu.

If I had more stars, I'd give it to them! I believe Alan was at the counter (apologies if I got your name wrong) and he was awesome.We drove all the way from SJ to Union City just to try out their Mochiko Sando! We weren't disappointed despite the 1 hour drive and another 45 mins it took them to get the order ready. They had stopped taking orders because of the sheer number of orders coming in! When I told them that we drove for an hour just to try their food, Alan offered drinks and shrimp chips on the house!Simply fantastic food and the ambience for the BeerHaus looked amazing. I'll make the trip again in a few weeks.You guys have a great thing going, I'd say scale up and this could lead to something amazing.

Stopped by originally thinking this was the building for BirdHaus but it was the restaurant instead and was pleasantly surprised. I got the Sisig Chop Cheese and a Musubi. To say the least it was tasty! I'd definitely stop by again to try some of their other items and of course to grab a beer at Birdhaus. The beer selection was nice and varied. Worth a visit!

Food was okay, but the wait for it was ridiculous! We had to wait over 40min for our food. It’s definitely a nice spot to bring your pup to. Not sure I will be returning.

Delicious food, the menu was relatively small but a lot of stuff sounded good, and I appreciated that there were both appetizers/sides and entrees and vegan options too, so it felt like everyone could get just what they wanted. They have some classic offerings but it felt like each item had a little twist to it--for example, the loco moco had adobo style gravy and came with pickles, and the chili fries had furikake. All was super tasty! Drinks were just bottled water and soda cans. The wait time felt a bit long but it was fine for friends coming to spend time and chat.It was a cute small spot! I love the vibe in there, mom and pop type of decor with a clear Hawaiian/Filipino vibe. When I first came in (early evening on a Saturday) there was a bit of a line and not a lot of space for people to stand around, they could probably use more space! They only have two tables inside but there's some outdoor seating, it was just a cold day. Thankfully my friends and I were able to spend some quality time there and the staff were nice and helpful too.

Vegetarian options: They have vegan options and they sounded good! Mainly tofu and jackfruit. They're prominent on the menu.

Parking: There's limited street parking. Takes a little luck or patience!

Got the spicy crab fries. Pretty tasty and love all the ingredients! I sat out back and it was pretty empty on a Thursday around noon. It was really nice enjoying the sun during lunch.Really lovely outdoor spot with games, nice benches, chill music and decor. Good place for a work meeting/lunch, date, large group gathering, team happy hour or even to work out of if it’s not too busy.Wonderful space in union city. Hope it stays around awhile! I feel like you only find these spaces in SF/oakland/San Jose where all the tech workers live.
