The Most Delicious Asian Fusion in Newark

Seven Fish Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.4 (42)

"Soldi 4.5 stars, rounding up for good service and reasonable price. Doesn't hurt that it's also in an ideal location near a bunch of desserts for afterwards. Came here with a group of 6, and we luckily beat the dinner rush by coming a bit before 6pm. The inside is kind of cramped, so it's a better fit for smaller parties unless you come earlier and take a lot of their tables to fix together a big one. Service was great - the guy gave good recommendations and told us if we pay in cash we can also each get a free drink from the ridge. Woohoo! We ordered a lot of things:- two types of fish with different bases (one crunchy fish, one is fillet)- chili oil beef - vegetables- dry pot It is unlimited rice but I only needed 1 bowl.The portion was more generous compared to the other fish place (Wei's fish?) and the flavor was more flavorful. Even though my stomach suffered the next day because of the spice, but it was so worth it.I would come here again! So affordable and delicious."

I Heart Bento

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (124) • $

"This is one of those places I wish was better, but I regretfully have to give it a middling review.The concept is very good - simple bento box, prepared quickly, with a nice amount of food in each box. Also a local business run by mom&pop, something that is really dying out here in the bay.I got the salmon and chicken teriyaki bento plus a California roll side.Honestly, the California roll was surprisingly good - very freshly made and carefully wrapped. Superb for the price really.The bento on the other hand was just average. The salad was good, nice variety of vegetables and had edamame which I like. But the chicken was fairly dry and didn't have a lot of flavor. The salmon had a decent crunch, but I wish it was more seasoned, although the texture was a high point.Additionally, the price is quite high for the taste quality. ~$20 for a bento is not competitive and makes it hard for me to want to come back with so many options that have a larger impact on each bite.If I had to give a pointer/feedback, I'd say the best thing would be to reduce the amount of items on the menu. Focus on just a few different bentos and bring their taste up. Right now, the stock to upkeep the variety has probably too high overhead, driving cost up. So, I'd suggest doing what places like Hironori do. Less than 5 variations, but top notch quality."

Nomikai

★★★★☆ 3.9 (358) • $$

"Server was great but all the food was barely warmed. We order Brussels sprouts, adobo pizza, sausage pizza, fries and spam musubi. Everything was pretty much room temp and the drinks were pretty much no alcohol and all juice. For $17 per drink ... I'd definitely go somewhere else. Alter Ego, Still OG, or even paper planes is the place to be. Unfortunately for our girls night they were all unavailable last night."

Küsan Uyghur Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.4 (694) • $$

"Kusan Uyghur was featured on the show Check, please! and a friend recommended it, so I decided to check it out. While I was a little nervous that it might be too adventurous for my taste buds, I found lots of dishes that were delicious. The restaurant isn't huge, so it feels best to come with groups of 2-4 to avoid a long wait. The heat lamps outside were a nice touch since there isn't a lot of space to wait inside. Also, I enjoyed the complimentary ice cream cone at the end of the meal. Looking forward to my next visit!"

Roost & Roast

★★★★☆ 4 (169) • $$

"Tasty hat yai (fried chicken) meal! I went with the 2 piece combo with papaya salad and roti. Fresh and flavorful. Great crunch on the fried chicken. Nice assortment of dipping sauces. My partner ordered the hat yai box with curry sauce, roti, and rice so I got to dip my roti (curry sauce not included with the papaya salad combo). Quick serve environment: order on a tablet and pick up at the counter. Outside seating only. Perfect for takeout or a casual meal."

Red Pepper Express Food Truck

★★★★☆ 4.1 (274) • $$

"Ordered around five dishes- crispy baby corn, chicken lollipop, chicken chowmein, chilli chicken sauce and egg fried rice. I placed my order over a phone call and my order for egg fried rice was misinterpreted as szechwan fried rice. All the dishes tasted almost the same- sweet and sour with a very prominent taste of vinegar. Maybe if I got my correct order of egg fried rice it would have been better. The fried rice had strong overtones of old unwashed rice and was not very pleasant. The salt content in all the dishes was high as well but not enough to be called salty. Some pluses- they have more menu choices compared to other such trucks, meat was not overcooked. My experience this time was close to three stars but rating it at four as I had better experience earlier."

Koi Palace Express

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (272) • $$

"I recently dined at this restaurant during a visit to the Dublin area and had a positive experience overall. The food was excellent, with the duck being my absolute favorite. It was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The dumplings, while my least favorite, were still quite delicious.One of the standout dishes was the Baked Seafood over Rice. It was unique and packed with a variety of flavors that made it a memorable choice. We also tried Koi's BBQ Combo, and the BBQ pork was particularly flavorful and well-prepared.However, I do agree with prior reviews that this spot is on the expensive side. Additionally, there is a surcharge added to the end of the bill, so it's important to factor that in before ordering. Due to this surcharge, I had to reduce my overall rating."

Burma Bay Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (189) • $$

"I've been here twice now and both times were excellent. The service is friendly and fast, but the food quality is what stands out the most. It's been delicious and fresh both times.Tried the black pepper Berger and basil chile beef, both excellent.And their desserts...it's worth it. The fried bananas with ice cream were great."

Laughing Buddha Vegetarian Bistro

★★★★★ 4.9 (26)

"This place is a great. All the food was fresh and the flavors were on point. We got a few plant forward dishes. They were flavorful and pretty to look at. We walked out feeling satisfied and healthy."

Halal street

★★★★☆ 4.2 (132)

"This is probably the best Xinjiang food I've ever had.I recommend getting the regular menu and not the hotpot. My favorite dish was the stir-fried lamb tripe. It has a unique taste and is probably the tastiest thing I ordered here. The lamb rice is very good too. Skewers and the da pan ji is not bad too.This restaurant has high quality food, but don't expect the service to be quick. I like to judge more on food than service, therefore I'll give it five stars. Bonus of having kvass on their menu, a fermented Russian drink."

Himalayan Chef Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.5 (97) • $$

"Vegan Mushroom and Cauliflower Peas Curry & Vegan Momo Super flavorful!The warmth from the spices is what gets you full without being over-the-top full!"

Poki Run

★★★★★ 4.5 (691) • $$

"Poki Run has truly ruined it for myself when it comes to my poke cravings. No other place can compare, especially when it comes to taste and quality of that sushi rice. Let's be real- if your rice is trash, the meal itself couldn't possibly be any better when it comes to this type of dish. Poki Run is a bit of a drive compared to a couple of poke spots located a lot closer to home but I'd easily make the trip. 5/5 stars!! Seafood, protein, and ingredients are always fresh, tasty, and the pricing is 100% justified. Flavorings as a whole is always spot on and satisfies all my cravings completely. Having a few recent fails at other establishments have only solidified my love and high praises for PR."

Bar Bay Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (736) • $$

"i have been going to bar bay grill for the past two years as a regular and i absolutely adore this place. their $1 oysters on tuesday and thursdays are a steal and i love going during those times. i usually avoid bars since i do not drink but this place's atmosphere does not make it uninviting. you could definitely bring kids and the atmosphere would still be light and fun.honestly there had never been a bad bite from me here.my favorite things are the oysters, garlic bread, wings, garlic fries, samgyeopsal, chicken wings. i love this place to death and it definitely needs more people coming here!"

Meow Tea

★★★★☆ 4.1 (392) • $

"Excellent fruit teas. I got mango, lychee, and peach teas with passion fruit popping bobas and lowest sugar level (10-25%). They have a buy 2 get 1 free deal. I paid $4.50 per drink + 0.50 per topping. Really affordable, but more importantly, very delicious teas. Their fruity teas are perfect treats on a hot day. The lychee tea has bits of lychee fruit in the drink. I really like the snacks too: takoyaki are my favorite. Service is great: nice and friendly. This is my favorite boba tea in San Jose."

Kelly's Cajun Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (56) • $

"YumWe were doing some quick shopping and we got hungry so why not try out "Kelly's" Cajun Grill as a Kelly, haha! The employee who was working, an older gentlemen gave us samples and that helped us decide what we wanted. He was super sweet and the portions were great! For $10 after tax, this is not bad! Definitely a place to go to. Try stuff before you get it!"

Off The Record

★★★★☆ 4 (226) • $$

"Craving butter chicken and went to Rangoli's only to find out they are no longer in business. So Yelp to the rescue! I been seeing adds for Off the Record, but never bit. I actually didn't realize it was Indian fare. They were closing in 52min and would reopen at dinner time. I was not waiting. Very cute location with cool outdoor seating/patio area. Walked in and felt kinda nightclub-ish. Lights were warm and inviting, walk up bar, nice padded booths. The menu is pretty vast. I can comfortably bring my vegan kid and we would both have lots of options. Great smells wafting from the kitchen. Ended up with butter chicken, butter naan and rice. I'll be back to update on the food. Update: butter chicken was just that...nice and buttery and creamy. And boneless. I have a dislike for bones. Nice chat to the meat and very tender. Basmati long grain and butter mama to go with it. I like my naan a bit more flavorful so I will try the garlic next time. All in all good experience. Will be back for the outside dining"

Vn Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 • $$

"Okay, I remember liking this place, but I don't super remember why, and alarmingly, it's not because I was 34 beers deep :-OThis is indeed alarming - why would I be out and about and not 34 beers deep...?Let us get to the bottom of this! Now, I remember this being a weekday, because I was dressed appropriately enough for people to think that I was employed. It's not my fault that looking homeless also means living in comfort. My loss - all the more suits and ties for you bozos!Now, this doesn't disqualify the beers, because working WUI is really the only way to get through work. Man, remember the days when we were all working remotely and we weren't turning on our cameras?! Wooooowiiiieee!!Um, anway, I think the food was pretty good. Probably be back, cuz it's right across from my place and I am laaaazzzzyyyyyyy."

Kigawa Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.8 (442) • $$

"Love going to this place for a date or with family, they offer great sushi and fish for a nice fair price. The chefs plate in front of you and also they offer more than sushi and seafood, they have ramen which I always enjoy. The service is always kind and they are always so helpful."

Moms Biriyani

★★★★☆ 4.4 (204)

"Found this gem today. When I am in that area of Sunnyvale i will definitely return. I was greeted promptly and given time to peruse the menu. (I admit I used my phone to look up a few things I was unfamiliar with.)I ordered the Egg Dum Biryani and a slice of Roti. My order arrived quickly and was so large! I dug in and found it to be very tasty. I then tried the yogurt sauce on the rice - very goord. Then I tried the Salan (had to ask what it was) and wow! That blew me away. So delicious! Not too spicy and actually sort of sweet (I guess that would be the peanut portion of the sauce). After eating only about 1/3 of my meal I was full so was given 2 bowls to put the rest in along with extra Salan and Yogurt.As I was putting the rice in the bowls, I noticed this red piece of bark on top of the rice - turned out to be beet root - another treat! Thank you!!"

Yo's On Hartz

★★★★☆ 4.1 (376) • $$

"Adorable patio, feels like you're in the middle of a garden. Food was very good, so was service. Great spot for when you want a nice evening out with friends or a date."

Qi Dumpling Lounge

★★★★☆ 4 (339) • $$

"A true Oakland gem. Family run, amazing food and fair prices. My favorites are the fire cracker wonton, egg rolls (handmade in house, so fresh and crispy) and my daughter loves the wonton soup. The bao bun sliders are also awesome. Fresh, soulful food. Great service, comfortable and clean. And they serve Fat Tire Ale! If you haven't tried it you have to."

Tao's Fresh

★★★★☆ 4.4 (297) • $$

"Great place to go for hot plate sizzling food! We came on a weekday night and they were pretty crowded at around 6 pm. You order on QR code, and they bring the food out to you. I highly recommend you to not wear something that is hard to wash because the smell will permeate into your clothing. I ordered the curry rice with beef and added kimchi on top. We also ordered the calamari to share, the calamari took awhile to come out, about 15 min, they make it fresh! I really enjoyed my dish! It came with a good portion of meat and rice."

Yummy Yummy Hibachi

★★★★☆ 3.8 (57)

"Ordered through GrubHub for takeout, and was seriously impressed! The New York strip was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly,and the scallops were also done well--not overcooked, just the right texture. The garlic rice was amazing--packed with flavor, with a nice peppery kick that I loved. The vegetables paired really well with everything, making the meal feel balanced and satisfying. Plus, the portion sizes were huge, which made it well worth the price! Another plus? The food traveled well, sometimes takeout can lose its quality, but everything held up great. Overall, definitely be ordering again! Would highly recommend if you're looking for quality food with big portions and great flavor."

An Khang Mi Gia

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (127) • $$

"The asian foodie in me says long standing 3 to 3.5 star places are the gems of the asian restaurant industry - and this is one of them. The ambiance might be a little tight for some but that's what I appreciate about these seemingly old school spots. They're lean, provide quality, there isn't this need to service you in this fluffy way to your expectations.Do give their rotisserie yellow noodle chicken a go. They use fresh oil and bring it out shortly after you receive your bowl of yellow noodles so its piping hot and crispy. It's always my go to."

PhoEver

★★★★☆ 4.1 (455) • $$

"Phoever is hands-down one of the best pho spots in Sunnyvale! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. The menu is packed with delicious options, but the pho is the true star--deep, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and generous portions of tender meat.I ordered the Beef Pho (rare steak & brisket), and it was the beau idéal! The broth was rich and aromatic, with just the right balance of spices. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and they give you plenty of fresh basil, bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeños to customize it to your liking. Beyond the pho, their spring rolls were fresh and packed with flavor, and the Vietnamese iced coffee was strong and delicious--just the right amount of sweetness.What really makes Phoever special is the service. The staff is incredibly welcoming, making you feel like family. Even on busy nights, they're attentive and quick.If you're craving Vietnamese comfort food and stuck in Sunnyvale and don't feel like driving all the way over to the east side, Phoever is the place to go. I'll definitely be back again and again!"

Phnom Penh House Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (544) • $$

"The portions were good for sharing. One plate is enough for two people. The sweet basil rice was strong in basil flavor. There was a good mix of chicken and rice. The eggplant was soft under all the pork with only a few pieces of shrimp. The taste was a new taste for me!Always great to try new dishes. Our waiter was very nice!"

Jin Sho

★★★★☆ 3.5 (629) • $$$

"Every dish tasted incredibly fresh. I also discovered a new favorite alcohol, Kamoizumi "Umeshu," which added a delightful and unexpected highlight to the evening."

Bibimbowl

★★★★☆ 3.8 (519) • $$

"Went here for lunch. Got the Hot Stone - Chicken and Shrimp with Brown rice. As the name suggests, the bowl was super hot (almost sizzling) which enhanced the taste of the food. The chicken and shrimp were very tasty and the food was hot till the last bite. Loved the crispy brown rice that got stuck to the stone :DFor obvious reasons the hot stone is available when you dine is, so would recommend eating here to get a better experience."

Sushi Kashiwa

★★★★☆ 4.2 (143) • $$

"We were just vising Pacifica for the holidays and honestly came here entirely due to walking distance proximity. We liked it so much we actually ended up going twice in one week! I will say that we had great service the first night (week night) and less so the second time since it was a busy Friday night and it didn't seem like they had enough servers. Now on to the highlight, the food, organized with tastiest on top!Tempura (Green bean & Mushroom) - You'd think tempura is just tempura but both the green beans and the mushroom tempura was top notch. It was so addicting with the light breading and perfectly cooked veggies. Highly highly recommend ordering either tempura green beans or tempura mushrooms or BOTH!Fat boy roll - This roll is LOADED. The roll that sits on the bottom is fried and warm so its such a nice balance to the cold toppings on top. This is definitely a filling roll and the fish on top was very fresh and tender.Salmon sashimi sampler - We tend to gravitate towards salmon sashimi so we enjoyed this little sampler! Nothing crazy but still tasty.Grilled skewers (Scallops & Pork belly) - The bacon wrapped scallops were good and well cooked but the pork belly was a bit tough. I would probably skip these next time."

Sweet Maple

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$

"Came here for brunch with my friends and it reminded me of Berkeley Social Club! It has a wide variety of fusion foods and so many options. It was busy when we went so make sure you are in the list for the reservation when you arrive. We got the millionaires bacon - comes with 4 diff flavors. Personally I just wanted to try it because it seems like this is what they are known for. Good, but too sweet to my taste. I like my bacon more savory than carmelized, but good none the less. The omurice was good- very buttery and the mochi matcha waffle was amazing!The best thing though was the dirty ube latte. So good, you have to get!!I gave this place a 5 star because of our waitress! She was so nice to us and gave us a free drink because it was my birthday :) Thank you M!!"

Rin-Tei

★★★★★ 4.7 (500) • $$

"There is something unique and heartwarming about this restaurant. As soon as you walk in, it's very bright and modern yet simple and clean. The food was amazing. My friends and I ordered the chicken rice, Rin-Tei Hot Pot with Cod Creamy Soy Milk-Sesame Sauce, clay caramelized cod, calamari, and yuzu sorbet. It was all exceptional...along with the service! Our waiter was so kind and attentive. We came on a Sunday evening and made reservations for 5:30 but we could have probably walked in and waited for 5-10 min to get seated. There are a few street meter parking spots right in front. Restroom is extremely clean and beautiful. We loved everything about this restaurant. Please give it a try for your next date night or friend get together!"

Bun Me Up

★★★★★ 4.6 (97)

"We used Bun Me Up for one of our catering events at SJSU and they were a hit! The students were huge fans of rolled tofu and in fact, that was eaten more than the other tasty option, soy garlic chicken. From what we saw, both options were popular fillings and the fresh toppings really brought the entire bun together. They offer dairy free buns as well if you need to cater to lactose intolerance. Joshua was very good at communicating throughout the entire process and showed up right on time for delivery as well. Highly recommend!"

Marugame Udon

★★★★☆ 4 (749) • $$

"Always wanted to try this spot but it's always popular with a long line. Not busy at 8pm on a weeknight when indulging with friend Max L! I love noodles but udon is not at the top of my list...it's just too "worm-like" for me. Hey, we all have our preferences. Still, enjoyed my bowl of: :: TONKOTSU UDON - flavorful and rich broth, with a hard boiled egg, and thin slice of pork. Added green onions and it was perfect for this cold weather. :: SHRIMP TEMPURA and ZUCCHINI TEMPURA ($2 each)Good try and probably wouldn't get it again as it had lost its crispness sitting under the heat lamp.Staff friendly and helpful. Ordering is "cafeteria-style": pick your udon bowl (pick a size) or protein bowl with your choice of toppers (crisp panko and green onions) and option of tempura. Bus your own tables. Lot parking and structure parking at the City Center Bishop Ranch, San Ramon"

Banh Mi & Bowl

★★★★☆ 4.2 (126) • $$

"Got their OG pate bahn mi (item 1) and five spices pork bahn mi. Really liked the amount of pate they provided, some other places it can really disappear. The five spices pork bahn mi was flavorful too! Bread was pretty crackly for 2pm in the afternoon so I bet it's pretty good if you get there when they just open.Think the only thing they should maybe work on refining is the radish and carrot pickles- it was very mild and not pickle-y.Small but clean/sunny shop, staff was very nice too- I was a bit hidden from the ordering staff due to the line but they picked me out and I got to order quickly!"

Soo Ja Fusion Bistro

★★★★☆ 4 (409) • $$

"Consistency is critical. And Soo Ja has been a staple for Korean comfort food in my household for over 7 years now. I'm happy to say pre-pandemic, these guys made wonderful food, with great serving sizes and an ever friendly staff. Post pandemic, there's been zero drop off in any of these areas. Well done Soo Ja Fusion Bistro!Favorites over the years:Spicy buck wheat noodlesKimchi fried riceBibimbapSpam Budae JjigaeKimbap (all are pretty great, just tried the Jap chae mushroom one today...whoa that's a keeper)Corn cheese pancakesWishlist:Wang Mandoo!"
