This place has a soft opening, so they only some items were available on the menu. We spent $65 for two people. There was a single person both cooking and serving the food, and seemed a bit overwhelmed. The food tasted okay but nothing spectacular. For the price I expected it to be much better. Maybe it used to be really good in the past, but things changed? There’s many more affordable and tastier restaurants around, so I don’t think this place is worth it.

I love how late Mingle's Mango is open and their decor is everything my inner-weeb loves. Fiance and I came here after volleyball at City Beach and were starving. We ordered some XLB, cucumbers, Pan Friend buns, and we were set. Everything was comforting and super delicious. We mentioned that we had been to the Mingle's Mango down in South San Jose yeaaars ago, and our server made us some dessert XLB (thai tea and matcha filled). Super kind, and super delicious. Fremont is a bit of a drive for us, but we'd definitely come back for the vibes, friendly service, and yummy foods!

My friend recommended this XLB place after discovering it one day. So we decided to come here together as a group of 4 to try out many XLBs! We came here on Sunday for lunch. There were about 2-3 other parties in the restaurant. The restaurant doesn't have a lot of tables or seats.We ordered the following to share:-Grandma Braised Pork Rice (5/5) - The braised pork was marinated well. It was very succulent and easy to chew.-Red Oil Wonton (5/5) - This dish was really good. It reminded me of the red oil wonton from Din Ding Dumpling.-Queen Crab XLB (5/5) - This was my favorite steamed XLB.-Kurobuta Pork XLB (5/5) - Must order XLB.-Kurobuta Pork Dragon Ball (5/5) - I love that it's pan-fried and there's soup!-Pegasus of Fantasy (5/5) - Same as above, I love that it's pan-fried and there's soup!-Hot Pot XLB (5/5) - I would recommend this for hot pot lovers because this XLB really tasted like hot pot haha.The owner hand makes the dumplings/XLBs behind the counter, cooking the dumplings/XLBs, and also checking in on his customers. He is working all over the place haha. He has another worker in the kitchen who cooks the non-dumplings/XLBs. There's a robot server that will deliver the customer's dishes to their table. Still water is self-served at the back counter. The restaurant theme is anime/manga related. There's a table with anime figurines. Some of the dish plates have short manga phrases, I believe. The quality of the food is amazing and I can tell that the owner puts a lot of effort into his dumplings/XLBs.This is now one of my favorite XLB spots in the Bay Area. I'll be back for more!PS. there's plenty of parking since this restaurant is located in a plaza!

Xlb had completely overfried bottoms black, noodles are hard and dry. Noodle bowl also very overpriced ($25 for 1 bowl!!)

I have to agree with his sign that states he makes really good XLB. The NewBee pork and crawfish XLBs were quite good. But we were disappointed that for $7.99, you only get TWO of them. At DTF you get ten pork and shrimp for $20. At DZ in Cupertino, you get six pork and crab for $7.95. The XLB at Migle's Mango are a little overpriced. They are good, but not worth twice the price of the other comparable establishments. And who only eats two XLBs? I can eat a whole tray by myself :-)We also had the California Wagyu Beef Noodle Soup, $23.99. This was really outstanding. At some restaurants they make beef noodle soup with a lot of tendons and gristly, fatty beef. Here, it was made with tender chunks of Wagyu. It's a nice twist on a very common dish. We liked it. 5 stars for the beef noodle soup!On our visit, we also tried the Pork Dragon Ball, which was pretty good. It was crisp and had some good soup on the inside. We bought the combo, which had all of these items and added a free dessert, which was a small chocolate hazelnut bao.Overall, this was a pretty good restaurant. If you're seeking XLB, this is a good offering. But be prepared that their price is high and they have a very tiny serving size. A good alternative for XLB in Fremont is SN on Stevenson.

A place that serves yummy quality food and does not cramp my style deserves nothing less than 5 stars from me. This is a review compiled from multiple visits -- it really passes my consistency test and even made it to my collection "Judy's Go To's" at yelp.com/collection/SxuJ…Between me and my sister Cindy, we have collected many photos from the restaurant (mostly food photos), so I am featuring only the best ones to share in this review. I love how the owner is constantly testing new dishes and asking for feedback. One time he accidentally served us what he was preparing for himself and it was so delicious I think I better come back often so I don't miss any new creation! lolSince I have not tried anything that didn't taste good here, I am super excited to see what breakfast tastes like -- yup, he recently added that too...wondering if he actually sleeps! Highly creative people don't often zzz much :)The place is as creative as the dishes the owner serves -- unique manga collection everywhere and matches the huge murals on the walls. The music is pretty much everything I listen to daily too (we do have to shout when it is a bit on the loud side but that's part of the fun). It's as if he combined all his favorite things into one place and openly share it with his customers!!! I'm not sure if everyone can appreciate all that he does but if he has enough followers like me, I don't think he can get rid of us :)

open late night with very tasty food. was great to have this available after arriving on a late flight. I enjoyed the seafood fried rice as well as the egg appetizer.
