“This is a small family business (restaurant). Very small dinning area that looks to seat about 22 people. I arrived while there were only a few people and it was packed by the time I left. The food was delicious. The servers were very friendly. Very cool concept with ordering a meal. I ordered 1lb of shrimp with sausage, rice, and potatoes. Did not disappoint. I highly recommend this place if you want good food while supporting a local small business.”
“As a diehard sushi addict, this place was life changing. Long story short, it’s the best I’ve had, and I’ve had plenty in the Bay Area. Smaller groups recommend.”

“I ordered food for a work luncheon holiday party. I spoke directly with the owner, Tim, and he was very kind and was able to accommodate us at short notice. I ordered about $1500 worth of food but was a little nervous since we had never eaten South Smokin before. Also, I had a couple of last minute changes and it was NO PROBLEM for them.
My nervousness was not needed because everything was wonderful! Tim delivered the food himself, on time, and the food was hot and absolutely delicious! Everyone was happy with it, and there was PLENTY! We had a lot of leftovers for everyone to take home a plate or two.
For reference, we ordered tri-tip (a tiny bit overcooked, but still delicious) chicken (great), ribs (PERFECT!!), mac and cheese, hot potato salad, lumpia, beans, cornbread, and probably a couple of other things I'm forgetting, but everything was yummy.
Thank you Tim for making our holiday party so great! We will definitely order again”

“Stopped by here for lunch and the food was exceptional. The best yellowtail and bluefin tuna I've ever had.
The service was great and I loved the hot tea.”
“Han Yang is a great place to sit down for dinner and enjoy some truly delicious Korean food. One thing I always note about a restaurant is the patronage and Han Yang appeared to host a largely local Korean community of diners and to me that signals authenticity. And the food shows it- the selection of banchan is delectable and meat are delicious and perfectly marinated (recommending dwegi bulgogi or kalbi). I appreciated that you could get the meats cooked at your table or in the kitchen... I left it up to the chef and everything was prepared to perfection. I also tried and loved the seafood pancake and bibim nangmyeon. We were also greeted by warm and attentive service. I felt at home eating here. I recommend giving this place a try because it may be my favorite local spot for Korean food now. Thank you!”

“Tried this place yesterday at OTG: Fort Mason. After eating a bunch of other unsatisfying food I just wanted one chicken tender no sauce. Yes one chicken tender. There was a bit of a wait but I was so happy after eating.It was juicy, flavorful and the breading was well seasoned and had a nice crunch to it. The service was friendly and even they still offered me sauce during my pick up. They probably thought wth, but that is truly what I just wanted haha. Anyways try this place!”
“I must say, the food and service from this family owned restaurant is one of the best I've experienced in a while!
From the food to desserts, everything was delicious and portioned generously. They ran out of ice cream for the fried banana, but it still hit the spot with the honey glaze.
I will definitely be back again soon!”

“I hardly ever leave reviews but I stopped by here today for my second time and I have to say this will be my go to when I'm passing through hayward. I absolutely love their bento boxes I normally don't ever get beef teriyaki but this place did not disappoint. The portion sizes are really big compared to most places I've gone to plus you can't beat the prices super reasonable. The fish was super fresh especially the tuna. Even my toddler loved it. Thank you again for serving us we will be back again.”
“Just went again recently! This is one of the few hamburger restaurants that will cook your meat the way you like it. 1/2 burger with Cheddar cheese, Medium. I always enjoy going back.”
“Definitely going to go back here again sushi’s are fresh and taste so good! My wife and my daughter enjoyed it the last time we went there for lunch. They have variety of sushi on their menu and the staff are really friendly. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ -donpinoytv”

“claro que sí primero Dios próximo sabado vendré con unas amigas que se lo recomende... porque hay muy buen servicio..y muy buen anviente... 👏👏👏👏👏❤”
“Excellent Cantonese style dishes that are prepared quickly. The salt & pepper pork chops were especially good. Eggplant was a little too oily and seafood in XO sauce was rather mild (menu said "spicy"). If they could pay more attention to service, this place would be 5 stars.”
“My first exposure to Nigerian food! The beef suya was really tender and the spice on it was heavenly. I think it's going to take me several visits to master eating egusi with fufu, but that was very tasty too. The Suup! -- soursop soda is delicious and refreshing. The employees here are really friendly and helpful, and it has a great relaxed atmosphere.”
“I love the chocolate banana ! In El centro Ca But everytime i go all the girls are like mad with their faces not so good customer service All are rude no smiling at all”

It’s been years since I’ve been to an Applebees. The prices were very reasonable. I will definitely return soon.”
“Musubi Libre was a fun experience, $30 for 6 items and a coffee was a little steep for the sizes but the taste was on point. The Japanese egg was the moistest thing I've ever had. The owner greeted me personally and had a great attitude, keep on keeping on and follow them on ”
“Recently moved to Hayward from Fremont, and was asked to give this recommendation a try. I was really impressed with the quality of their seafood and the speed of service. The staff were all very nice and welcoming, which is major in the food industry.
Started off with the Omakase box, pork belly skewers, miso soup, gyudon, potstickers, and chicken karaage. Everything was a hit! My favorite had to be the pork belly. I'm not sure what the sauce was, but it's was sticky, sweet, and delicious.
I ended my order with a few other rolls that were extremely satisfying. Everything ordered was shared family style, and we were beyond stuffed. $200+ for a group of 4, with all the food we ordered, is a steal compared to full menu restaurants.”
“A wonderful gem in this shopping center; especially clean and fast service with even a greeting as I walked in. The food was prepared quickly and precisely as ordered and the best part was it tasted great. The employees here were delightful, will definitely be a frequent visitor henceforth.”
“It was my first time coming with my family. We had good experience . Food was delicious…”
“Quick bite for lunch, ordered chicken and shrimp combo, the shrimp was very fresh, perfectly cooked, the staffs were very nice and quick service. Price was reasonable!”
“The food is always awesome. It is a casual eating spot, nothing fancy. There isn't much of an "atmosphere." There are tables to eat at and some music playing in the background. The music isn't overpowering and you can have a conversation over dinner. Kid friendly.
Vegetarian options-there is the vegetarian metro bowl and vegetarian burrito.
Wheelchair accessible- no stairs, wheel chair accessible table, restrooms are wheelchair accessible too

“Not sure why this got only 3.7 out of 5 on Google review. Fantastic food, easy process to order, fast service should all make it at least 4 out of 5. Food is huge!!! Amazingly, tip option in the pay machine has 5%, 10% options which is REALLY rare! I never see this before, all restaurants start with 15%, or even 18%.”
“It wasn’t bad, it’s never bad i only see a lack of workers when i go. Thankfully the workers are nice I just feel like the process of pizza take a while and I don’t blame them if there aren’t enough workers and if the pizza takes time. What matters is the food and the people ??”
“I had the chicken parmesan. Sauce was a little thin but tasted pretty good. It was served with some penne pasta and vegetables that were both cooked just right. It seemed a little overpriced, but what isn't these days? Dinner and a glass of wine were just under 40 per person.”
“This particular location has given a new meaning to service and value for its Pizza! The management, under Michael’s leadership is exceptional. The staff are friendly and professional. Since we live close by (walking distance) the dinning experience post covid era is equally great. The pizza and salad lunch combo is great value! Thank you Michael and staff for the tasty pizzas that never fails for an empty stomach. The pizza is very popular with my 3 years old daughter also. :)”
“We were in from Minnesota December 10/17, staying at the fairfield Inn. Went over late and had the Mtveggiemore pizza with the artichoke and we added sausage. Seriously the best pizza we ever had. Omg! The best. Ever! From anywhere.. and we've had alot of pizzas in alot of different places. And the young man working was so pleasant, kind, funny. And very busy and us being tourists was very patient when we had no idea what we wanted. He suggested we try the one we got.”
“The staff lacks maturity and were unable to assume responsibility for charging for 3 additional children. the staff went as far as reporting that I went the register and ordered several cards. I never went to the register until into was time to pay because the host brought the cards directly to me. They went as far as Giving me specific times that they said I was there at the register. ONE person arrived on time. so why would I make additional requests prior to tue arrival of my guest. Management, both named Jocelyn need to be reprimanded for the reporting they reviewed cameras and that it resulted in me being untruthful. I will be making a statement to cooperate to discuss the lack of honesty and poor quality of leadership those two possess.”
“We need a freaking salad bar in Alameda! We used to have 2 sizzlers on the island! Food is great & price!”
“It's surprisingly a good place to watch sports. However, they are not good at serving large crowd. I gave an overall 3 on the service, for the server was consistent with getting the order. The management could be a little more friendlier.
Kid-friendliness: Although kids are welcome and there's kids menu, not recommended for kids.”
“Best Indian Restaurant in Hayward. Food is so delicious and taste amazing. We tried Briyani, Garlic Naan, Noodles, MoMo(Dumplings), butter chicken and everything was amazingly delicious.”
