“This place is such a sweet little cozy place. Basic interior but really comfortable. We found the food to be very good and very fresh tasting. A sweet little spot on the main strip. Worth checking out truly enjoyed.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu“
“Saigon house has been on of our regular rotation for a while. We’ve had a small variety of items from pho, vermicelli, and rice plates. There’s still a lot on the menu we need to try! Everything we’ve had has been good. Food is fresh and delicious.Most recently we had the wonton noodle soup. It had a tasty broth, good wontons which was separated from the shrimp. Shrimp was cooked perfectly and the egg noodles were delicious!They get busy very quickly so order early!“
“I've been going to the Dublin and Livermore Sourdough sandwich shop since they opened. The food is always great, as is the service. Since I live in Livermore, I go to this place almost daily. The owners are so nice and always greet customers when they come in. I had them cater a huge pickleball event for our Tri-Valley Pickleball Club and they did an outstanding job. I highly recommend them as the premier sandwich shop in Livermore and the Tri-Valley.“
“As an Indian who is often skeptical of the restaurants around the Bay, I was quite impressed by this.Good value for money, overall good flavor (not too whitewashed lol), great service, nice ambiance.Wish the best to this restaurant and hope they include more South Indian dishes in the future!“
“Wonderful pho, shrimp spring wraps, and fried tofu. But I especially appreciated the amazing service!! I called in my order because it was large, and I needed it quickly. The gentleman who took my order repeated it all back to me to make sure it was correct. When I picked it up, it was packed up in a box, but the server took the time to make sure the entire order was there. Wonderful food and wonderful service!!“
“The variety of the double-boiled soup (燉湯) was amazing. The steam rice with eel wrapped in lotus leaves was great. They also serve dim sum all day. The shrimp dumplings 蝦餃 is delicious. The osmanthus white sugar steam cake (桂花白糖糕) is a delightful surprise!“
“Came on a Sun around 2pm for a party of 3. There was about a 20 min wait. Great food, no complaints! We ordered the Soy Garlic Chicken (half size), Creamy Rose Spicy Rice Cake, and Beef Short Rib Stew. The chicken and rice cake were both very flavorful while the beef short rib stew was light (just how we like it). Portions are pretty big so careful not to over order. We had left over chicken and rice cake to box up! Service nice and attentive.“
“I had just finished eating lunch after dropping off a Wiggly Koontz Hickory Stick to my old pal Crossmoore P. Hagginlipper so he can better control the beast within his bride, Helga, ..she can be pretty aggressive at play time. I'll tell you, I couldn't get outa there fast enough when Helga saw that Wiggly Stick come out of the box, I knew right then and there something was about to happen, and man did I run!I was cutting through town like I owned it, and then I saw Bara's Deli and being a Yogi Bera fan I just had to go in and eat again. Well, seeing that I just had lunch 30 minutes ago, all I could muster was a small corned beef on rye sandwich...it was Amazing! ☆☆☆☆☆“
“Since moving to the neighborhood a few years ago, this Chinese restaurant has become our favorite takeout spot. Their fried rice and eggplant fried tofu dish are consistently excellent, keeping us coming back for more. We appreciate the consistently delicious food and reliable service whenever we crave Chinese cuisine!“
“I LOVE Bento & Bowls. I always order the bulgogi bowl for take out online. It’s plenty of food and it’s consistently good.I’ve never eaten at the restaurant, it’s definitely meant to be a take out spot. There are a couple small tables if you realllly want to eat there.There’s a small, free parking lot. Could park on the street too.Anyway, go here if you don’t feel like cooking dinner :)“
“I love Pho Vy! The environment is always very friendly and welcoming. Mom and pop shop located in Little Saigon. They have off menu items along with their variety of goodies on existing menu. My go to’s is their bun bo hue, bun rieu, bo kho, rice plates and all of their appetizers. Always a supporter of local mom and pop shops.“
“Affordable, high-quality, freshly-made, and generous portions. I stop by here often when I want something healthy for lunch. I typically get the falafel wrap, comes with a side salad. Also they have a large selection of fun drinks like kombucha, flavored sparkling water, and probiotic sodas!“
“Solid quantity and quality of food for its pretty reasonable price. Ordered a shrimp udon and though the noodles were not true udon, it was a solid quantity of food and came with six shrimp. And a bowl of miso soup. A nice environment too. Tastes pretty good.“
“Food: Top notch sushi. If you want the luxury sushi experience, look no further. The chef himself studied and worked in Japan. Super intelligent man with a lot of knowledge about Japanese sushi. I highly recommend getting the fish of the day. It will blow your mind by how the fish melts in your mouth. If not, get any black cod dish. I get it every time I come here.Service: Awesome staff who hustles to please all customers. Cant thank them enough!“
“This place was delicious and the food here was great, this may have been the best Vietnamese food I have ever had. I may have had to drive 7-8 hours to get here but it was all worth it, I would recommend this place to everyone because the French fries were also very good. This place serves the food very fast and it was absolutely delicious 5 stars and will come back again.“
“It's not easy to find a restaurant overseas that serves Korean food like this, but I really enjoyed it. The portions are generous and you can really taste the taste of Korea. In particular, the seasoned chicken tastes like it's sold in Korea. I'm still eating it, but I already want to come again. Photos I should have taken it a long time ago, but it was so delicious that I ate it all.Kid-friendliness: There are high chairs for children and non-spicy menu items that children can enjoy.“
“I recently visited for their 2024 Berkeley Restaurant Week dinner set for two, which turned to be the best bargain comparing with the ones in the past. It came with kimchi pancake, half order of KFC wings, and a bottle of beer or Soju. However, being a long-time patron, I'm very disappointed at their Yang Nyum KFC wings that are no longer crunchy and spicy. Not sure if the chef had left or they changed the recipe, but the sauce is no longer red, thick, tangy and spicy like the way that got me hooked years ago. To me, it tastes like the sweet chili sauce used for Lumpia Shanghai, one that's available in Asian supermarket.“
“Boy! Where do I start, this Olive garden never disappoints! Excellent service, hats off to their management, kitchen and staff! When they say in their commercials when you're, hear you're family, they meant it! Their whole staff from the hostesses to the servers and management are very respectful and so pleasant. They always put a smile on your face with the interaction you get. The food comes out quickly and their managers walk around always asking, how's everything? I take notice and I love the way their team works together and help each other out serving their customers. They have a great system down and work very efficient . They're one of two restaurants that I can say that about from my experience. Their bathrooms are always decent for the most part and their restaurants are always clean with a welcoming decor and atmosphere. And as always their food is wonderfully delicious!???? In closing, we have always had a positive experience at all Olive garden locations, with this location being no exception. But it has been our favorite out of all of them thus far. Again to the management, and the whole staff at this Olive garden location in Hayward, My family and I applaud you! ??? outstanding! Excellence at its best! Thank you for all your hard work and always giving us a wonderful experience at your restaurant! You truly do make us feel like family! ?“
“It's wonderful to have a high quality Thai restaurant in the neighborhood. Thai Delight does a good job with the menu, and the ambience is great. Casual but very clean, quiet, and comfy. The new owners have transformed one wall into a charming mural that defies description. Service is at times uneven but mostly warm and attentive. It's become our go-to spot.“
“My husband and I stopped in for sandwiches. Everything there is pre-made which they call Grab and Go. I had the Coronation Chicken and my husband had the Tarragon Chicken. They were delicious and the prices were reasonable. We also had a Southwestern Salad which was good but I thought it could use more corn and black beans. I understand that food costs are really high. They have a few tables to eat in. They also have Take and Bake dinners which I want to try. I think those have to be pre-ordered. We will be back even though it's a bit of a drive for us.“
“If you are from Oakland, you’ve probably heard of Vien Huong, which has been my go to and I’ve been going there since I was a little kid. However… my friend recommended me to Thanh Ky and I was reluctant at first to cheat on Vien Huong but… I’m glad I did. They offer the same type of noodles but.. the taste is totally different. I usually get the combination with the fat egg noodles and soup on the side.Vien Huong: their egg noodles are different, a less eggier. The price is about $3-4 dollars more than TK. Their bowls are bigger and you get more foodThanh Ky: their egg noodles are very yellow and contain much more egg. Sometimes they don’t cook the egg noodles enough and it’s a little gummy. Bowls are cheaper in price but are smaller. However, the overall flavor has more oomph than VH. It’s more flavorful, a little saltier, more garlicky and the fried pork skins are a nice guilty touch.I’m a big fan of TK now but I still go back to my roots at VH but I find it’s less often. Total meal for two combination noodles at TK is around 35 dollars and at VH is almost 43.“
“2nd time here and its still really good. Highly recommend this place if you are in the area for some food. We came here for Floor & Decor so this was nearby. You can even do ur chinese grocery shopping after u eat cos thats next door. I ordered shredded chicken with thick rice noodle. Price is $13.99 for a regular bowl. Soup was ultra hot, just how I like it. How this place works: You order first at the cashier, then take ur order number to ur table and they will come bring you the food. They have sugarcane juice here too. $7.99 for one. Tastes pretty good, I hope its real sugarcane and not a bunch of added syrup. Come here and give this place a try. You will not regret it.“
“Absolutely amazing chinese food!As someone who travels a lot for work, it’s really difficult to find tasteful Chinese food. I had the sesame chicken with white rice and pork dumplings delivered through Uber Eats. The food arrived hot and smelled amazing.The sesame chicken was perfectly glazed with the right amount of sesame seeds on top of it.The white rice was fluffy, soft, and paired brilliantly.Finally, the pan fried pork dumplings were the best I’ve ever had! They had the an amazing crust on the outside with a mouthwatering filling.If I’m ever back in Hayward I will be sure to get this place again!“
“Best spicy food I have ever had. Super packed with flavor and absolutely satisfying! Words cannot describe how good it was.I now have my new favorite go to place. I will definitely dine here again.Vegetarian options: Spring rolls are vegetable only.Dietary restrictions: Not good for people who have peanut allergies.“
“The Black Garlic ramen is my favorite. The broth, pork slices, roasted garlic and soft egg are melt in your mouth fantastic ! Even the bamboo shoots have a beautiful texture and flavor. The place is plain but very clean inside. Owners seem very nice.“
“The pho was solid and ingredients were fresh. Our server was great and our toddler loved her. We had the rare steak pho, shrimp egg rolls, and shrimp egg roll vermicelli. Everything tasted great. They also offer boba drinks and thai tea. Our thai teas were solid. The place is huge and we found a table easily.“
“Tried this place on a whim one night and was really pleasantly surprised! I love the style of personal hot pot when you get to pick all your own ingredients, but it had been a really long time since I've found one near me. I loved this place! All the ingredients were so fresh and they were very quick after we gave it to them. It was also fairly priced in comparison to Berkeley prices - it's $16 per pound and mine ended up being around $18.50. I thought it was well worth for the quick service, great food, and comforting, cozy atmosphere.“
“First time eating here and it was FIRE!!! RIBS & BRISKET WAS SOOOOO GOOOOOOD the collar greens was one of the best I've had around here corn bread and hush puppies were also good. I would eat here once a week if I lived closer. GREAT JOB! I'LL BE BACK!“
“I preface this by saying my family has gone to Peony Seafood Restaurant for a lot of years. My wife and I had a smaller wedding banquet there, and I've been there for several banquet and large events, as well as for dim sum lunches.Currently this is one of the only big restaurants left in Oakland Chinatown, it's in the second floor of the Pacific Renaissance Plaza where there's parking below.Bottom line the dim sum and dinner menu is pretty tasty and authentic. Dim Sum time can be pretty busy, they do have a backroom/VIP room with a slightly upgraded experience with a slightly higher tea price (it's likely to get seated quicker there).Their dinner menu is pretty solid as well.“
“Started working nearby here about two months ago and get my lunch from here daily. The staff is flat out amazing to me. There’s two managers there a female and a male that are always working hard and getting orders out.The cashiers etc have always been pleasant as well. I really appreciate coming here.“
“Cute little place a bit off the beaten path. Ordered the Morrocan Rice with Kefta and caramelized onions and a side of hummus. The Kefta was delicious with the caramelized onions seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg (?). Really good. The tangy side salad was a nice counter-point to the Kefta. The hummus was top drawer and sprinkled generously with paprika. The only disappointment was the pita which was a bit dry and appeared (and tasted) "store bought." Taking off a star for that. If you're serving this type of food, you can't fumble something as basic and central as the pita bread. Aside from that little fail, very good.“
