“Went here for the first time with my sister who has been here several times before and Omg! Everything was incredible 🤤 we got there pretty late so the kitchen had run out of a few things but everything that we tried was so good! Very hot and fresh, we ordered several appetizers to share and I loved everything. Then the entrees came out and they were all beautifully presented, and so flavorful! This place really is a gem and I will definitely be stopping by when I’m in the area again.”

“I ordered an 18" Hawaiian pizza online, so I would have leftovers. It said the pizza would be delivered in about an hour and a half. Ok they are busy. Nope! I got a phone call asking if I wanted it now or later. Now! So it was delivered pretty quickly. The pizza was delicious, and I had pizza for breakfast all weekend 🍕”

“Excellent!! The ube is wonderful!”

“My 2nd return and just as good as my 1st. Food was excellent but Seafood tower was the winner of the night. My siblings took me here for my birthday. I love how it doesn’t t have multiple TV on random channels such as sport. So people are there for each other. Love how they are not a sports bar as promised with their name of their restaurant. And overall no loud music to ruin conversation. That’s what I really like about this restaurant. The vibes of the restaurant and be both casual and fine dining. I strongly recommend this restaurant.”

“Very crispy yet juicy chicken!!! Absolutely delicious, huge plate of food for the price!!!”

“Chris that works there is awesome, food is good and they are accommodating”

“Good stuff. Try the fried chicken leg meal. For 14.99 you get rice, a fried egg, a whole fried chicken leg, some pickles and lettuce, a large egg roll and a small bowl of broth. The chicken was cooked nicely and everything tasted great.
The chicken is cooked to order.

This is the Chinese Vietnamese version of Jollibee, but it tastes better.

The waitresses were attentive and friendly
Will will return.”

“Ribs are the best, falling off the bones and the fresh hot bread”

“Love this place! Great food, drinks, and service!!”

“The Best Burger Ever ❤️ Love It 😍”

“The first time I came here I wanted to get their Milky Chill Quenchers in this cute bear cup they had but they didn’t have it available when I went. The owner said she will owe me one if I come back for it. I didn’t come back maybe for at least two weeks and she remember me and said they bear cup that cost an extra $5 is free. Wow what service and the fact she remember me that’s awesome. I got their Milky quencher mint chocolate flavor because I love mint flavor anything. This thing was so good it was minty but not too overpowering the milk shake which is good and I love the bear cup it came in. I really want to come back and try their UNE sandwich and another one of their drinks which they have so much of. Most definitely come here especially for a nice cool drink to escape the summer heat.”

“Great food, healthy option, decent price and happy people work there. I'm so glad that my daughter introduced me to this place. Break Your Fast is my "go to" place from now on.”

“Gorgeous café with wonderful customer service and really unique products. We had the flan coffee, which was delicious. The pistachio cheesecake was also amazing!”

“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”

“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 👍”

“Today was the first time I have been to this location. It has a really nice set up. Plenty of seating. A great collection of mugs for sale. The baristas were very nice. My White Chocolate Mocha Espresso was really good . I'll definitely go back”

“I think the peppertree owners have a great group of daytime bartenders. Walter, Andrea, Celie, and Reana are all very professional, personable and just fun to hang out with. I think
the owners would be very smart to take good care of this group. They work hard for there tips and make great money for the Bar.”

“Nick the Greek launched its NEW Greek Frozen Yogurt! You can get it with a Chocolate Shell or Baklava on top! This is your perfect solution for this hot weather!

Fun fact: Did you know this restaurant was started by three Greek American cousins, all named Nick? You can also find high-quality, authentic Greek street food here. A great option for lunch imo.

“Tandoori Pizza has the best pizza!!! Customer service is great and pizza's are delicious. Thank you for serving the community during this pandemic. We at St. Rose Hospital Emergency department appreciates you.”

“Great food. Very small (5-6 tables), great attentive service. Lots of dumplings, some Dim Sum. Salt and pepper fish was very tasty.

Wheelchair accessibility: No problem.”

“The shop is clean, the service is enthusiastic, and the food tastes pretty good. The biggest advantage is that it doesn't take a break at noon. Several shops around me close before three o'clock and open after five o'clock in the afternoon. I walked into this store for this reason. I felt that the signboard was unattractive. I tried it and found that it was underestimated. Anyone who is interested can come and try it.”

“Grand opening with free meals! Delicious!!!”

“Amazing service. We were super hungry after late ending of a show and all nearby places were crowded with long waits. So we found Mamta’s on Yelp and called them at a whim. They told us that they are closing in a couple of minutes, yet offered to get us to go. I requested if we could dine in to enjoy fresh hot food and surprisingly they said yes.

So we got there and asked for Dosa, Veg thali and some chaat. Then we asked if we could get chai and guess what! They said yes! I mean who does that (who = Indian restaurant).

Overall amazing service. With a smile (rarity in and of itself) and very welcoming. Food was fresh and delicious.

We plan to go there again next weekend?”

“First time here & Will Be back for more Green curry 🍛awesome Good Food 🥘 🙏😉✌️”

“Family favorite! My parents have been coming to Hong Kong Restaurant in Union City for years. Authentic Chinese cuisine, fresh ingredients, and friendly service. Consistently delicious!

We always order the hot and sour soup, clay pot, salt and pepper ribs and the sweet and sour fish.

Highly recommend!”

“Even though they only had 1 cook the food came out fast.”

“The Hangover Burger was great”

“Absolutely loved my dining experience at {PESHAWARI KABABS]! The food was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients in every dish. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. It’s refreshing to find a restaurant with such a great selection of authentic Halal options. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Halal food.

My sincere thanks to everyone, with special appreciation for Haji Dawood and Hazrat Bilal.”

“One of my comfort food..I loved their Bbq short ribs together with chicken katsu and rice with over easy egg..You can order ahead so you don’t need to wait for your food..”

“Portions of food are big, and it taste great. The gentleman at the register is polite and friendly…. Great customer service!

Servers did an extra mile too by giving what I asked for (a small portion of evaporated milk for my mango pudding). I didn’t want to sound demanding. Sorry.”

“Lovely food! Best bengali food in the area and good and fresh collection of fishes”

“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!”

“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!”

“This is hands down the best place for Vietnamese sandwiches! I even drive the extra 25 minutes from home to come here at least once a month, if not more. They did raise their prices a bit, but it's understandable in this economy.

Parking: Free parking at the shopping center.”

“I love Crumbl!!

Parking: Pacific Commons has free parking!
Crumbl is the BOMB!! I LOVE THE REWARDS PROGRAM AS WELL!!!
I look forward to the new flavors weekly!!
If you haven't tried them, it is a must”

“Hawaiian Cream Bread is the shiiiiiiiiiit!”

“Tang's Haus was a lonely, authentic Korean restaurant that guy a spot I didn't know I needed. The side dishes that came with our meal were bangers. I especially liked the kimchee and the cucumber salad. For the main dish I ordered the knee tendon soup, which had chunks of gelatinous cartilage with a nice chewy texture. My friend and I also ordered the kimchee jeon, which I thought had a great crunchy texture.
That being said, we left especially stuffed, so depending on how hungry you are, you might need a to go box for leftovers.”

“Excellent food and drinks”

“We bought frozen biscuits … omg, light as a feather. They were perfect! Hubby also loved chicken pot pie I had purchased when I knew I was going to be out of town. Soups… delish!”

“This is yet one of the best Vietnamese Restaurants in the Bay Area. The Pho and Bun Bo Hue is truly authentic. 👍😋”

“I came here, thinking it was Japanese food, but it blew me out of water when we tasted the quality of food, the kindness of the host the atmosphere
He deserves gold medal for how nice and kind to customers not just us. I know it was the same to all the other patrons.
Especially
The food pictures doesn’t do justice versus the taste fresh meat first serve quality food. I recommend this place.”

“This is a nice Thai BBQ place. We got Phad See-Ew with chicken, Chef's Special Seafood Combo Plate which came with Shrimps, scallops, mussels, squid. Fried shrimp & fried calamari, with a chicken fried rice. Everything was good except I felt the fried calamari and fried shrimp had to much breading on them we ended taking some of the breading off. Overall everything had good flavor, also the prices listed online are not the correct prices in store.”

“Went here yesterday. It was our first time trying out food here but they formerly had an old location in Fremont. We had 5 adults and 1 child so gratuity was automatically added on to bill, but well worth it. The lady I believe was the owne,r gave us a scallion pancakes on the house. Great halal food. Recommend schezuan chicken!”

“Really authentic clay pot rice! I’m a stickler for clay pot rice and this place is legit. To have a restaurant that dedicates it’s menu to clay pot rice is amazing. If you’ve never had clay pot rice, definitely try this place!”

“If you want to try some delicious tacos, quesabirrias, quesadillas, burritos cakes and more... come to this place. it's the best ?

If you want to try some delicious tacos, quesabirrias, quesadillas, burritos, cakes and more... come to this place. it's the best ?”

“Food is *really* good - although the entire menu is Asian. I thought it was supposed to have a wider variety?

Service is a bit slower than I would like, but it was very friendly.

Parking: This Union City shopping center has a huge surface lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Street-level restaurant. Easy peasy.”

“With family and friends enjoying ice-cream”

“Raja Sweets catered our event, and we were thoroughly impressed. The food was not just delicious, but the portions were generous, ensuring everyone left satisfied. Karan's punctuality ensured the delivery was seamless, adding an extra layer of professionalism. The authentic Punjabi flavors were a hit among all our guests, earning rave reviews all around. Overall, a delightful experience with Raja Sweets; highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Punjabi cuisine.”

“Great job!! Good food and portions! I’m”

“Delicious Ice crean ! staff Very Friendly!”

“Wonderful service and food, I'll be back 😋”

“We come here about once a month. We enjoy mostly the combination dinners with entree (we get Salmon Teriyaki or mackerel), mixed tempura, California rolls, salad, and miso soup. I tried the deluxe combo with entree, sashimi, mixed tempura, and nigiri sushi selection. Everything was very good. Quite a lot of food as a good value for Japanese food.”

“Free parking , 2 hr early check in without paying extra fee. Rooms were clean , very comfortable beds. Union landing close by , many restaurants can find any type of foods, shopping center just in case .”

“I've eaten from Sheng Kee irregularly for the past decade. It's always pretty good, although whether it's worth going to over something like 85°C I don't know. Had many birthday cakes from here as well, always convenient and tasted like a solid cake. Great place.”

“Went here on a whim since I felt the craving for ice cream. It's been years since the last time I've got Coldstone, so I wasn't really sure what's so special about it. Then I quickly remembered that they basically do one those cold stone tablets to mix the ice cream with the toppings. There were too many choices, so I just (sorta) randomly picked the cookie dough and a few toppings. They also have this to-go containers which is pretty handy if you want to do takeaway (since that's pretty much the only option these days). The person making my ice cream even put the leftover in a small cup so I had a bit extra. Very nice and definitely not complaining.”

“I stop by Mountain Mike’s Pizza with a friend for lunch and we were both impressed by an outstanding pizza experience that was hard to beat.

From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel right at home. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and perfect for both a work lunch and casual outings with friends.

I am a pizza lover and have tried all different kinds pizzas around the world. The pizza at place was simply exceptional. We ordered a combo speciality pizza and a buffalo wings. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and delightfully chewy on the inside, providing the ideal base for their delicious toppings. The toppings came with generous portions of fresh, high-quality ingredients that ensures every bite was delightful. The wings were crispy outside, juicy and tender inside. They were well cooked. We also ordered the draft beer, it was so fresh.

In addition to the fantastic food, the service at restaurant was top-notch. The staff was attentive, courteous, and always ready to accommodate special requests. The overall dining experience was smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended!”

“yummy chicken difference here in jollibee USA the peach mangoe pie are bigger my hubby loves it its like we are in phillipines”

“Palabok is my fave….. so good.”

“Possibly the best pho I've had. My two friends said the same. We were in from out of town and got there sort of late due to travel congestion, but they were super friendly and the food was amazing. Would give more stars if I could.”

“I enjoy their drinks here. The only complaint is they take a long time to prepare the drinks. I guess it’s takes time to make excellent tasting drinks. But it does turn me off sometimes from stopping here. Other than that the crafty lemon drinks hit the spot.”

“One of the few bars I go to around here. Very friendly customers and employees..the owner and her husband are fantastic people, and the drinks are great. Definitely recommend for a local bar type experience.”

“Delicious food and friendly staff. Parking in this area is slightly challenging, but it is conveniently located near our church. It's always reassuring to be able to find a good lunch spot and is nearby. Baby Cafe is our go-to lunch spot after church. Good atmosphere and clean dining spaces.”

“Still the best ramen spot in the area. Place was updated so has more modern feel now, but for me i missed the counter where you can see where the broth is being cooked from where you are sitting, gives the authentic experience.”

“My favorite Thai spot. I've been coming here for years and never disappointed with the food. I love the chicken satay and Beef salad. Service is always good since I've never seen more than 3 customers dining in. Mostly take out and doordash orders.”

“Great pizza Establishment. Please forever keep the rustic look. Been going here for 15+ years, I have memories beyond count here. Best place in town to get some hot food for your buck, get a slice you can’t go wrong. I hope Bronco Billy’s Stays in business for years to come. An Important Community, cultural and historic symbol of the east bay.”

“good food and good service”

“I ordered the steak with Java rice. Got the calamari as an appetizer. Everything was delicious. Great service. We waited about 10 minutes to get seated. Parking was easy. We parked right up front. Food portions more than enough. Left very satisfied. Will be back again for sure!!!”

“First time trying this place out. Went for the margherita pizza and had something called Mantoo, which is a small ground beef dumpling with a lentil sauce. Really delicious.
Inside decor is pretty utilitarian, they sell sodas and other things. We will definitely return.”

“This is the UC OG spot for Pho.

The real ones know.

If u a hater miss this place!

Maybe some of ya’ll should treat the staff the way you want to be treated cause I see ya’ll come in sideways here all the time! Check yourself before you wreck yourself!”

“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”

“I am short on money I only tipped 6 to the waitress but she deserves 1000s she was so nice and helpful I feel so bad! Please come and eat here the food is delicious and the service is ”

“This place is actually underrated! The burrito bowl is delicious and I've seen other dishes that looked tasty. Also I think google need to recreate the star rating because if the food is delicious but I didn't like how the bathroom didn't have hand soup. The restaurant doesn't deserve 1 star for that. I'm reading reviews for 1 &2 stars and I'm going that's not 1 or 2 star worthy. That's petty”

“First time Here very Impressed with the Mango 🥖Baguette it was very good & we will definitely return for more Variety.”

“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!!!!!”

“Have been here a few times to grab takeout. They're very friendly and the place is cozy. The food tastes great and the portions are huge. It's like buying two meals worth of pasta.”

“The seniorita bread was FRESH out of the oven. I ate one immediately and burned my fingers but it was worth it. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and butter and so soft and pillowy. It's hard to only eat one. It's even better when dipping it in coffee so makes a great breakfast treat. They also have donuts but I only wanted seniorita bread at this time. I will be coming by more often.It's baffling that this place is rated less than 4.5 stars. I think most of the reviews are from people who have never even been here, or are just upset about being asked to wear a mask, which is ridiculous considering the store is very small and it is not a bad precaution to require.Either way, when I came here, I was not asked to wear a mask. Although they do ask only one customer or party inside at a time, again- not a bad precaution since the place is very small. I personally would not want to be rubbing elbows with people in such close distance, pandemic or not, it's more about personal space for me.I guess people are unlucky or sensitive when it comes to their service here, because I was helped by a woman who was extremely kind. She even asked if it was ok that the 12 piece senorita bread I got was in a bag opposed to a box. Im fine with a bag since I'm gonna inhale the bread within a few days. There's also a sign that mentions 12 piece or less is in a bag so I appreciated that she reiterated the fact.Support Filipino businesses!”

“Carmelita's is just lovely! Lovely staff, always greeting you with a smile and they never seem to busy to share some extra conversation with their customers. Lovely ambiance, the decor is cute and welcoming! Lovely food full of flavor and packing in that homemade feel-good flavors.”

“We love this place! We come every Thursday”

“Ample menu items, both savory and sweets, including, of course, beverages and teas. Friendly staff.

Unfortunately, this place requires ear protection to enter. While waiting, I registered 92 to 98 dB average. Impossible for them to hear your order due to the high noise levels. I feel sorry for the staff and I’m not sure why this hasn’t attracted an OSHA violation for the staff”
