Restaurants in Union City

“Mala Town is hands down one of the best spots for Sichuan dry pot in Union City! You get to pick your own ingredients and spice level, and they stir-fry everything to perfection with that addictive numbing-spicy mala flavor. Portions are generous, perfect for sharing, and prices are fair for the quality.

The medium spice has a nice kick, but if you love heat, go for the higher levels—it’s legit spicy! Service is quick and friendly, and the restaurant has a clean, modern vibe. Definitely a go-to place if you’re craving bold flavors and want a fun, shareable meal.”

“Fresh food, made to order, great service, good price for quality food”

“very good food and friendly staff!!! the food is pricy but very good”

“I have tried the most of Korean restaurants in Hayward, Dublin, Union city, Fremont and Milpitas. This place the most authentic and not Americanized, meaning the dishes are NOT sweet.”

“Will be back! Great food 😋😋😋”

“Pretty nice restaurant in the UC area, they were able to accommodate my group of 12 though the restaurant is a bit smaller. The service was good, unlike the other reviews servers came to take our order, and food was good as well.

Started off with lamb seekh kabobs which were really good, and chicken malai was ok as well. Got the chilli chicken, I think it def could have been spicier, and had more veggies than meat, but meat was good. Mango Lassi was actually nice and thick! For entrees, we got the kadai chicken, chicken curry, and goat curry, all pretty good. And I absolutely LOVED the gulab jamun with ice cream at the end.”

“Our favorite place for a date night in Union City! Fantastic menu choices and delicious food every time.”

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

“kantutan to the max😆😆 see photo”

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

“Tuesdays 40% off on any Large pizza , i came here with my family about 10 of us and the service was great and so was the food quality . Great super sufficient staff and they know their menu items very well that they will help you choose what you could try for your dietary options. OH! Dont forget they Finally have stuffed crust option too!!!”

“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 👍”

“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”

“Sunright is one of the better Boba spots in the Bay Area and it's definitely a must visit.

The quality seems to be consistent with their different locations.

I've had the opportunity to try most things on the menu but my favorite is the grape frosty, which unfortunately seems to be a seasonal item.

The menu is extensive enough to where there should be something for everyone as there are your more traditional choices, as well as, some fusion (East meets West), creative new drinks.

Sunright uses high quality ingredients, many of which are locally sourced in California. And yes, you can absolutely tell the difference! This is also because they don't cut corners and costs during the prep.

The staff is always on top of things and even when there are long lines, they always work diligently and quickly while maintaining the high quality standard.

The location itself is small, narrow, and it's pretty much a grab and go at the moment but the decor matches the theme.

If you haven't heard of Sunright, definitely give it a go and you'll be pleasantly surprised.”

“This restaurant serves authentic Southern China Claypot rice items. It also offers good soup and side dishes. It is an austere well organized family restaurant. Staff is courteous and efficient. Claypool is great for cold rainy days.”

“Had a great experience! As a vegetarian, I’m always a bit cautious when trying Korean restaurants, but this place pleasantly surprised me with several delicious options.

The vegetarian-friendly Bibimbap was flavorful and satisfying, packed with fresh vegetables and perfectly seasoned. I also tried the Japchae, and the sweet potato glass noodles were cooked just right — slightly chewy, lightly sweet, and full of vegetable flavor. I also enjoyed the crispy fried seaweed rolls, which made for a perfect appetizer.

What I really appreciated was how accommodating the staff was when I asked about the ingredients and vegetarian modifications.

Overall, it’s a wonderful spot for vegetarians who want to enjoy authentic Korean flavors without feeling limited in choices. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Happy hour feels next level when you've got raw oysters, garlic fries, calamari, crispy chicken, and a cozy curry hot pot with noodles on the table. It's the perfect spot to chill with friends after a long day while catching a game! Those creamy oysters with the Thai chili garlic ponzu sauce? Total match made in heaven. Plus, the service is awesome!”

“Menya Shono is a good quality ramen restaurant in the East Bay and I'm happy to have tried their original Ginjo ramen. Some standouts: atmosphere is modern and clean, pork chashu is slightly smoky in flavor, and broth is rich/thick. My party had no wait on a weekend lunch. Parking is easy in the public lot.”

“People skills friendly and cleanliness”

“Good food, prompt take out service, friendly staff on phone.”

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”

“We went here for dinner tonight the service was good the food yummy so fresh we couldn’t eat it all so I know what’s for lunch tomorrow and we are going back next Thursday”

“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!!!!!”

“The Hangover Burger was great”

“The food was full of authentic
Peshawari flavor. Service is always great and people are very nice .The food is very high quality fresh and best. Always have great experience here. Everytime I go with my family I sit at the decorated lounge which is very beautiful. Highly recommend”

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

“Food is very good. However, I rather they told me the truth instead of steering me into something else. It appeared that they don't have 2 lbs or more lobsters. So, they BS about 2 one lb lobsters would provide better meat quantity and that the meat in a 2 lb lobsters would be tougher. You will get more shell and more elbow joints that are difficult to handle. Instead, just order something else. Anyhow, the lobsters over noodles were nicely cooked and were extremely tasty. So were the surf clams over cellophane noodles. The rest of the dishes were also good except for the salt and pepper pork chops. They were tasty but the chops used were too thick. Desserts were not warm/hot enough.

Service was generally good. Near the end, the waiters were, as if by concerted efforts, ignoring our wavings to get our teapots filled.

The tables were not too jam-packed as other Chinese restaurants.”

“The best pizza ever my wife and I and my son we love the combination pizza!!!!”

“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!”

“I've been seeing this restaurant mostly in Northern CA, in the bay area but never tried it. First time here and it was really good. I love Greek food. Would definitely come back here.”

“Finally made the 90-minute trek to Dave’s Hot Chicken with the fam! 🍗 The vibe was great—super friendly staff and a very clean spot despite the crowd. The chicken was fresh, hot, and delicious. Only downside was no cheese sticks today, but that just gives us an excuse to come back soon!”

“Sweet Mex makes the BEST Mangonada around! They're unmatched. They also make delicious food. The Carne asada tacos are delicious, the street corn is tastey, & the tostiloco's satisfies every bit of my savory craving for the day. Basically, they have a little something for everyone! Salty, Sweet, refreshing...you name it, they GOT IT! 🤩”

“Crumbl had a collaboration with Martha Stewart this week, they also gave out a free chocolate chip cookie. Obviously lines were long and no one paid attention to the signs the staff had out. They only staffed TWO employees during this entire situation and one was almost finished with his shift. Major shout out to Lara and Jacob who were working on 11/6, they held it down and weren't rude or impatient or anything! Thank you so much.”

“Ordered pizza as I am in a Hotel and wanted to watch the game.
Very tasty pizza, easy to order for pick up and very nice cesar salad with excellent dressing.”

“People are so warm and friendly!!! Our new favorite place ❤️”

“If you are into Ube then this is the place.”

“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!”

“It’s a Beautiful place the guys very Friendly and Nice costumer Service the Best Boba In the Bay Area. We loved and recommend ;they have a lot of flavors every fruit it’s Natural and the tapiocas so good 😊”

“Pleasant & courteous greeting, Neat & clean tables, Quick table service & ordering, Good food, served hot”

“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!”

“I Took a chance to call from parking lot to order lol However, Jason was glad to place my order with pleasant and eager customer service. The Lady with pretty nails rang me up and was wonderful as well! I ordered Creamy Already Fettuccine with Chicken and Sun Dried Tomatoes. It was amazingly delicious at the first bit and came with slice of garlic bread. If You're a Pasta Lover, I highly recommend!”

“The Best Burger Ever ❤️ Love It 😍”

“House of Dumplings is an absolute treasure! Their dumplings are incredibly fresh, flavorful, and clearly handmade with care. Every bite is a delight, whether steamed or pan-fried. Beyond the dumplings, their other Chinese dishes are also excellent. This place is a must-visit for authentic and delicious food. Highly, highly recommend!”

“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.”

“The first time I tried the lemongrass tofu sandwich at Huong’s Sandwiches, it honestly reset my standards for what a sandwich can be. I haven’t even been there that many times, but that one bite was enough to stick with me. The tofu is perfectly infused with lemongrass—bright, fragrant, and comforting all at once—balanced in a way that feels thoughtful, not overpowering. It’s the kind of flavor that doesn’t shout, but gently reminds you how good simple food can be when it’s made with care. As a vegetarian option, it doesn’t feel like an afterthought at all; it feels intentional, complete, and genuinely heavenly.

What makes Huong’s even better is how easy and welcoming it is. There’s basically zero wait, which somehow makes the experience feel calmer, like the universe is briefly on your side. For around ten dollars, you get something that tastes far more special than its price tag suggests. It’s the kind of place you can just drop by—no planning, no stress—and walk out with a sandwich that feels like a small win for your day. In a world where good food often comes with long lines or high prices, Huong’s feels refreshingly kind.

Eating that lemongrass tofu sandwich makes me feel ready for whatever comes next. It’s grounding and energizing at the same time, like a quiet moment of joy before the day unfolds. There’s something hopeful about knowing a place like this exists—somewhere that delivers warmth, flavor, and comfort so effortlessly. Huong’s Sandwiches isn’t just the best lemongrass tofu I’ve ever had; it’s a reminder that little routines, good food, and simple pleasures can carry us forward, one really good sandwich at a time.”

“X-tra Hot! Not above my tolerance, enough for that lip burning sensation, but does not linger afterwards nor makes breathing difficult, if you know what I mean (that's Holy Chic+ levels). I can feel that heat moving through my belly for a day after! 🔥 (pretty much the same as Dave's though)”

“I had The Combo Pho and took a Combo Bahn Mi to go.. Both very good and the bread for the bahn Mi was fresh. Also had a Thai Tea very good!”

“Best and most underrated ramen in the Bay! The broth is so flavorful, the texture of the noodles is perfect, and the pork belly is so crispy. Good portions for the price and the owners/service are great. My personal fav is the TanTan! Can be a little salty so request less salt :)”

“The food here was phenomenal!! Our order was taken by the restaurant grandpa, and he was the sweetest. He literally walks away, and two minutes later, our food is at our table. The broth was delicious. Some of the best we have had around this area. And then best part is, it was affordable.”

“Excelente customer service. Super friendly, smiley and fast service. Superb vibes and tranquility in the place. Super happy and satisfied with the pizza quality. I normally have the combinación personal size and it’s super delicious. I will rated the best place in town.”

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

“Dry pot beef brisket and chicken was excellent.
Tried beef with scallion and cumin lamb before, also good
Have the option to make food very spicy if asked”

“A unique, local place to hang out with family and friends, relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and generally a great space to just chill. Grab a bite to eat from Da Good Vibes or whenever they have pop up events featuring local food vendors.”

“Excellent!! The ube is wonderful!”

“The pho ga is flavorful. The steam chicken is tender and delicious. I warmed up the chicken since I prefer it that way. The chicken wings are bigger than normal, but they taste good.
A big shout out for an excellent service. 👍👍”

“Food was decent overall. I ordered the tom yum expecting a classic, flavorful soup, but it didn’t quite meet expectations in terms of taste. I ended up switching to the tom kha, which was better and more enjoyable.

Portions were reasonable and the overall experience was fine. Not outstanding, but a decent place if you’re in the area.”

“My favorite Filipino food spot in the Bay Area! The food here tastes like home. The food is always good whatever you order, and the prices are a great value. I always try to come here regularly.

Just know that the inside seating is very limited and there are not that many tables. So, it's sometimes hard to get seating during busy hours. However, the food is prepared fairly quickly and table turn over is fast.”

“Best sandwiches! The garlic sauce makes the sandwich. The avocado is so fresh!”

“Quick walking distance from Union city bart! I was greeted by both workers as soon as I walked in! I ordered the iced caramel macchiato and an everything bagel. Great coffee and food for great prices. I am super impressed by the customer service. The seating is also spacious. Sometimes I dont like taking zoom meetings from cafes but this is a good space to do that. You can be spread out from people if you please. Super amazing small business! Go support!”

“This pizza tastes like the very first pizza I ever had that made me love pizza. They sell by the slice but their version of a slice is like a small pizza. Good deal.”

“Red Ribbon is my go to for cakes! The mango supreme is absolutely amazing always fresh and not overly sweet! Also Clarence help me with the choices! Great service and quality every time”

“Great value and good flavor overall. The stewed meats like lengua were super tender and rich—definitely the highlight. The grilled options (tripa, asada, al pastor) were just okay; tripa could’ve been crispier, and the others lacked that seared depth.

The restaurant is clean, and service is solid, though it’s mostly self-serve—order at the counter and grab your own salsas and drinks. Easy, no-fuss setup that works. I’d come back and stick with the braised meats.”

“Have been here a few times already and everything is consistently delicious. Thought it was about time for a review! Most recently, I ordered the pho ga (chicken pho) just as it is and it was flavorful, full of good size chicken pieces, ample noodles, and the broth was perfect. Toppings on the side were plentiful (basil, lemon, sprouts, etc.). I also ordered a soda chanh (lemon soda) and some spring rolls. Again, never an issue with the freshness or quantity provided. Just loved it and highly recommended you pay this restaurant a visit if you're in Union City and are seeking a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant. While I haven't tried the other meat/rice dishes they offer (since I typically only ordered pho), my other family members have and will attest that they are made well and are of sizeable portion. Also, the family that runs this place is always kind and efficient. Thank you so much!”

“Hawaiian Cream Bread is the shiiiiiiiiiit!”

“We usually had our go-to sandwich spots, but we wanted to try something new. We ordered from DoorDash, and it was made quickly. The staff was friendly, the location was clean and organized, and the food was delivered to go. The sandwiches were a good size, the bread was fresh, and the overall taste was good. We plan on going more often since we did a DoorDash pickup. I know we payed more, but I’ll review the menu prices next time and order in person.”

“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.”

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

“This place was great. No frills counter service but what matters is the sandwich and this was very good. Banh mis in general have hit another level in pricing in the bay but if ur paying that u want a meaty sandwich and this was that. Well balanced and the all important bread was spot on. This place deserves a lot more business.”

“Great place for a few drinks, friendly people and billards but watch out for the table sharks! Hahaa this place is LIVE on friday and saturdays for kareoke nights! Thank you!”

“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”

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

“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.”

“If you crave a Hong Kong style restaurant, then come here. Food is great. Have the Hainese chicken, green beans with eggplant, and Japanese tofu dish. They are delicious. Wash diwn with their ying yang coffee tea and for dessert, the mango tapioca with purple rice. Service is fast and friendly. A great place to enjoy a good meal.”

“always a great time. cool bartenders. security provided.”

“Da Good Vibes offers a delicious fusion of Filipino, American, and Hawaiian dishes. When they replaced the old restaurant, I honestly thought I was going to miss the previous menu, especially the mochiko chicken, which was the old spot’s specialty. I remember hoping the new restaurant would have great food too, but oh my gosh, they exceeded my expectations from day one.

I’ve been a loyal fan ever since. I’ve tried most of their menu, and their roasted beef is my absolute favorite. It’s incredibly delicious, although it’s only offered for a limited time. The chicken adobo and guava-glazed pork are close runners-up, and the chili rice is just as flavorful. The staff is so warm and welcoming that I already feel like family whenever I visit. Kudos to the chef!”

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

“Perfection! I will not go anywhere else for pizza 🍕 bolani kabob and qabuli so good 😊”

“With family and friends enjoying ice-cream”

“Was originally hesitant trying the popular poke bowl, but immediately the staff was helpful and welcoming! I created my own bowl and had so much fun choosing from the variety of fresh ingredients. Definitely was packed with love. 11/10 so fulfilling in all the right ways!”

“These people know what they're doing when it comes to food, the burrito, quesadilla, and tacos are delicious, you should really give them a try if you're in the area”

“Delicious Ice crean ! staff Very Friendly!”

“I love that Gong Cha is expanding their stores into my locality. Getting my favorite pearl milk tea had never been easier!”

“The cream brûlée milk tea is delicious! However, I wanted to try something new so I tried the coconut matcha drink, at first, I was nervous, but after taking a sip I was pleasantly surprised! The staff was also very friendly. 10/10 recommend.”

“The kare kare and pork barbecue is good but the Leche flan are not tasty”

“Stumbled upon this bakery when waiting for Boba tea. This place has affordable, delicious sweet and savory pastries. The pastries and rolls are fresh and the team keeps restocking throughout the day. The sponge cake is a must try. It’s light, fluffy, minimally sweet and melt in the mouth texture. In love with the orange and vanilla flavored cakes.
The brioche cream bun, and the matcha red bean rolls are also on point.
Great snacking options. Must try place in town”

“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”

“The Best Sandwiches!”

“We enjoy their milk tea and snacks a lot. Our favorites are the original milk tea with Boba or lychee jelly and our favorite snacks are the fried mushroom and fried squid head spice number one for both.”

“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.”

“I have bought a few sweet treats from them now and then. I find them to be very reasonably priced for the Bay area. The items are not too sweet which I appreciate”

“muy Malo la atencion y la comida la gallina asada estaba extramadamente llena d moztaza y El fresco de ensalada muy acido en mi Tamal d pollo me said sin papa's sin emotes y con un pedazo de piel de pollo nada de elegance sucios los platos”

“Great boba and croquettes. Strawberry+banana smoothie was perfect. Really pleasant and fine ice texture. The brown sugar boba was tasty and perfect texture. Also some of the pearls were cold enough to firm up perfectly, reminiscent of a frozen strawberry or other fruit. The croquette was cooked crispy and included katsu sauce, I think.”

“i love Habit Burger Grill so glad that we have one in Union City, everytime i go fishing always stop by in serramonte to eat.”

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

“Been coming here for years. Really nice waitress who’s helped us for years. Food is good quality for the price. Not too much at atmosphere It’s a small sushi place but definitely a good one.”

“This drive through location is kicking butt. Very long line out to the street and into the street but it’s worth it. Everyone at the window has a smile and is very professional and polite at the speaker box. ❤️”

“Jasmine has excellent customer service, serves with a smile, courteous and so helpful. Understandfing the condition oif my special needs daughter. Five start rating to Jasmine , the hostess at Kabila , Union City.”

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

“Starbucks Coffee — Union City, California ☕🌴

☕🌉🚗
Starbucks Coffee feels like a classic Bay Area stop — practical, steady, and perfectly placed for people constantly in motion.

📍🌤️💼
Located in Union City, this kind of Starbucks serves commuters, shoppers, workers, and travelers moving through the East Bay corridor. A quick coffee here often means the day is still rolling.

🥤🧭✨
Some locations are about atmosphere, others are about usefulness. This one feels like both: familiar menu, reliable service, a place to pause for ten minutes or refuel before the next destination.

🚙☕📱
For road people, Starbucks becomes more than coffee — restroom break, charger outlet, Wi-Fi, cold drink, warm drink, short reset. Small comforts matter when you spend enough time moving.

🌴🌇🌉
Northern California stores often carry a certain rhythm: busy but not chaotic, efficient but still relaxed. That balance is why stops like this stay valuable.

☕🇺🇸📍
A dependable Union City Starbucks that does exactly what it should — keep people going, one cup at a time.”
