The Most Flavorful Fast Food in Newark

Taco Bravo

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (818) • $

"This place can't be beat. Parking is ok, they're open late, their combo burritos are tasty, they pack with flavor plus the salsa is flavorful. way better than Taco Bell. Plus they're really fast. After I ordered I didn't even get a chance to sit down and they had my food ready. They use actual real beef and other real ingredients. Pricing is affordable one of the last remaining actual low prices fast food joints."

Boulevard Burger

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (648) • $$

"Came here on a Saturday for lunch and service is lacking. The menu is on a chalkboard and I had to ask for a paper menu to see everything. I have been here a long time ago but wanted to give it another try. The prices are kind of steep for just a burger and you still have to add on the sides. There is also a 3% automatic fee for using a credit card which is also relatively high in my opinion. We had a table of 9 and the cups and silverware just looked like it needed some extra cleaning. The burger itself was good. I had a mushroom burger, onion rings and curly fries. Everything came out tasty. However I don't know if it was worth the price."

Ahn's Quarter Pound Burger

★★★★☆ 3.9 (456) • $$

"Simple place, take out only, but they have turkey burgers!! Milk Shakes are fresh made and love the crinkle fries! The kind that Foster's Freeze USED to do. Very generous portions on the fries too! Love this place."

Dairy Belle Freeze

★★★★☆ 4.1 (317) • $$

"We drove past dairy belle freeze many times but never stopped to try until now! So glad we did because now we found a new burger/fast food joint to revisit. We ordered 2 combo meals, 1/4 beef hamburger and the fish sandwich. Everything came out piping hot and fresh, which we love! Both were excellent but my preference would be the fish sandwich. The portion was also generous for what you get. there were people coming in and out, so business is busy, which is always a good sign. only reason why I'm giving it a 4 star instead of 5 is because of the price. It's pretty pricey for what it is but once in a while, I won't mind coming here for a good burger."

Tapsilog Express

★★★★☆ 4 (297) • $$

"Drove 30 min just for their tapsilog! Definitely one of the best I've had around. Also tried their sisig, however is different from what I'm used to. Halo halo is a must but my bf thought it was okay but since it was a hot day it satisfied me.There's a few tables inside, water is free, and pretty clean."

Asia Delight Express

★★★★☆ 3.6 (335) • $

"I love Asia Delight Express. The food was great, and the prices were very affordable. The staff were also warm and friendly. I hadn't been here for quite some time, and they were patient with me, especially when I had questions about the menu and trying to figure out what to get.I ordered the family dinner. It had egg rolls, three large entrees, skinny noodles, and wonton soup. The portion sizes were generous. The containers were full of yummy food. The food was tasty and very filling. I couldn't stop myself from eating.I recommend this place to people who want reasonably priced and fast Chinese food. The inside was small, and only a few tables were available since most customers got their food to go. I will definitely come back again."

Katsuo Sushi & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (274) • $$

"Katsuo Sushi is located in the Eden Shores plaza next to Costco. Usually plenty of parking here as well. I came here a couple times recently, both for to go and I ordered ahead of time. They have been pretty quick here, I usually get my food within 10 - 12 minutes after calling. I usually get a couple orders of the Salmon Roll and the rolls are pretty decently sized for the price. The freshness of the salmon is good compared to other local sushi spots nearby. I would not say it is my favorite sushi spot, but it is overall a decent spot to get quick and affordable sushi in the area."

Caesar's Chicken

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (356) • $$

"I grew up on Caesar's chicken living in San Lorenzo. I still crave and order it on occasion via Door Dash. I have to order on a night I'm just on my own for dinner as due to allergies my wife and kids can't partake.I usually get a 4 piece dinner with Spaghetti, fries, garlic bread,fries, and salad. It's all so good. I love the flavor of their chicken. This is a classic spot that I hope never closes.If you want to guarantee your order is correct I'd order directly through them as opposed to Door Dash. I've had a few instances when my order has been wrong. I definitely will continue to return to Caesar's. Great food at a decent price."

Tram Cream Coffee 1

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (346) • $

"The coconut cream coffee is always amazing here. It has little coconut shavings on top of real coconut. The cream is always really good and the coffee part is so strong. It's great for when you need a pick me up coffee. It's also not too sweet. There's a nice balance. The only reason for 4 stars is because it's really expensive. I feel like it's slightly overpriced compared to other Vietnamese coffee shops."

Pizza Express

★★★★☆ 3.9 (249) • $

"Ordered large Chicken Tikka Masala and cheese breadsticks for delivery. The food was delicious extremely fresh pizza and breadsticks. Hot on arrival not like other pizza places where it's warm by the time it gets to my home. The service was phenomenal the driver had amazing energy and vibe. Extremely pleasant customer service experience. Very nice man. I love that this place is family owned and has been around for years. I will be continue to order great pizza from this place. I strongly support this business and their amazing pizza. I strongly recommend! :)"

Pho Queen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (132) • $$

"Currently my go-to pho spot in Dublin/Pleasanton. I like that the broth is rich and savory, without being too salty. And they give generous amounts of meat, along with your typical fresh ingredients (basil leaves, bean sprouts, lime, jalapenos). Their vermicelli plates are flavorful and filling too! The space is clean and open, and the staff is always friendly. Great value!"

Macho Burger

★★★★☆ 4 (152) • $$

"What a hidden gem! This is like an Asian/Chinese style Popeyes LOL except the chicken here is way crunchier.Never heard of this place at all, I came across it when I was going to Tong Sui! Glad I didn't skip out on it.I tried their Spicy Chicken Sandwich and their Fries, both so delicious! The chicken was tender, crispy, and juicy while the fries really tasted like Jolibee's fries to me.I really wanted to try their Shrimp burger but it wasn't on the kiosk when I arrived. ): Guess that'll have to be a trip for another time!"

Teriyaki City Grill - Pleasanton

★★★★☆ 4.1 (142) • $$

"This place continues to have great service great food and great prices. Even my sister and her family who sometimes can be picky. Love this place! Great for a little quick bite like the gyoza and sushi or a full meal like one of their bowls. The salmon bowl is by far my favorite!"

Tram Cream Coffee 2

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (242) • $

"This place was great! The wait time was around 5ish minutes for our drinks, and the workers were kind.The Tiramisu cream Latte was a great mix of sweet yet bitter. It was not overwhelmingly sweet, and the cream taste amazing. For the amount of ice in the cup, I'd say it was a good amount since the coffee is strong.The Matchahaya was basically a Matcha flavored smoothie. It's a blended matcha drink and the matcha flavor was definitely there. Bonus points because there was an ice cream scoop on top as well. Definitely on the sweeter side however, so it a great drink for kids!All around a great place! Would come again!"

Ciudad Azteca Taqueria

★★★★☆ 3.8 (158) • $

"If you're looking for an authentic Mexican quick to-go, check out this gem.As for the burritos, they are generously stuffed with a variety of ingredients, creating a hearty and satisfying meal. Meat choices are classic carne asada, pollo, carnitas, or pastor, which are perfectly seasoned."

King Eggroll Express

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (155) • $$

"Solid Chinese food, not to mention fast and convenient. Egg rolls and fried chicken are a must and everything is seasoned well from the fried rice to the chow mein and all of the side are tasty as well ."

Krispy Krunchy Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.2 (99)

"Fresh made hand breaded chicken, and friendly service. It was seasoned very well and very tender and juicy. I wouldn't get the shrimp again, as I saw it was pre breaded and frozen, and I just wouldn't pay for that. I ordered some corn bread which I loved. Nice guys working there and very accommodating. Good price point as well."

Primo’s Deli

★★★★★ 4.7 (77) • $$

"COME ON !!!! Everyone this little hole in the wall deli is the bomb. My Ruben was delicious juicy and top quality. Nice tables inside and out side too. I pulled in at 12.30 on a Wednesday and I was the only one. You gotta come try this hidden gem I definitely recommend it. You have to "Support Apoyo these familia business""

Tea Era

★★★★★ 4.6 (79) • $$

"Great service! It's been awhile since I had boba and this definitely hit the spot. They have a wide variety of drink options and food options as well, although I came here just for the boba. I'll be sure to come back to try the food."

Hummus Republic - Alameda

★★★★☆ 4.4 (70) • $$

"Date: 4/18/2024 Time: 4:00 PM 63° SunnyAfter visiting the Kaiser lab for blood work being done, I stopped in at Hummus Republic, which is a few doors away. I have seen their ad on the FB website. The food looked yummy. It's check in and check it out. My first time here. It took me a while to peruse the menu and decide what I want in the bowl. The choices are great from what I see on display.The male employee guided me along with my selection. The bowl starts with a base, three scoops of hummus, protein, unlimited sides of veggies and finally the dressing. My bowl was filled with Mediterranean couscous, spinach, three hummus, four falafel, veggies and traditional tahini dressing. I also added two dolmaes (additional $1.00) Make it to go, please. Cost with tax and tip included was $18.Menu is posted on the window before going in to the business. Laminated menus are available at the counter to review. There is also a menu board on the wall.I was excited to get the bowl with falafel that I forgot to ask for beets. Okay a return trip is necessary to get their strawberry lychee beverage and another bowl. What I ate was so delicious that I almost forgot to take a photo. (Senior moment. LOL, meaning Little Old Lady Laughing Out Loud)."

Chowking

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (189) • $

"Amazing Service at Chowking Milpitas with Room for ImprovementI recently visited Chowking in Milpitas and had a delightful experience, largely thanks to the exceptional service provided by Isabel. She was incredibly attentive and efficient throughout my visit. When I asked for extra ice for my Thai iced tea, she promptly fulfilled my request with a smile, showcasing her excellent multitasking skills by seamlessly taking orders and answering the phone simultaneously.Towards the end of my meal, as I was contemplating ordering something to go, Isabel proactively approached me near the counter and offered assistance in selecting additional items from the menu. Her proactive and friendly approach truly enhanced my dining experience at Chowking.While the service was outstanding, there is room for improvement in the serving quantity of certain dishes. For instance, I ordered the beef wanton noodle soup and was slightly disappointed to find only one small wanton included in the dish. Enhancing the portion sizes to match customer expectations would further elevate the overall dining experience.In terms of location, Chowking's proximity to Seafood City is convenient, allowing patrons to enjoy a quick snack after shopping for groceries. The accessibility and convenience of the location make it a desirable spot for a post-shopping meal or snack, the atmosphere is decent. Overall, my experience at Chowking Milpitas was primarily positive, thanks to Isabel's exceptional service. With a focus on enhancing serving quantities to align with customer expectations, Chowking has the potential to further excel in providing a memorable dining experience."

Quick Bite

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (108) • $

"I just ordered delivery from this location, through GrubHub, and I'm really disappointed. I ordered their chicken sandwich with fries as well as their 3 wing/3 fried fish combo w/ mashed potatoes. They did not have mashed potatoes, and instead of substituting it for something else, they just didn't even give me a side. It wasn't until my dasher went to pick up my order, realized they were missing a box, and called me to explain the situation. I asked them to replace my mashed potato side with fries. In my orders, the side order of fries was very minimal -- almost as if someone took 1 side order and split it in half. Additionally, I was missing 1 fish in my 3/3 combo meal. The chicken sandwich was really sad and the lettuce wasn't fresh. One thing I can say is that everything came hot when it was delivered, but that was honestly the only good thing. Everything was on the saltier side and the fish/wings weren't very meaty. Disappointed order for ~18 before tax/tip/delivery! My total was ~24 after everything (I have Dashpass to reduce the delivery cost)"

Krispy Krunchy Chicken & Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (98) • $$

"Great and tasty chicken. It was fresh and hot when I got it. Plus it is Halal. A must have for any gathering."

Pav Bhaji and More

★★★★☆ 4.4 (50)

"First timer having Mumbai street food. We ordered the masala vada pav and a chai. The vada pav was full of flavor and had perfect a perfect spice level. Really enjoyed this as a late night snack, will be going back to try other items on the menu."

China Cook

★★★☆☆ 3 (104) • $

"One of the best places to go! Food always tastes great and comes in big portions and the price is reasonable!"

Shake Shack Westfield Oakridge

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (104) • $$

"Found myself at Oakridge Mall for the first time in years with time to kill. I was craving a hot dog, so checked out the food court and saw that Shake Shack had them. I'd heard good things about Shake Shack, so decided to give them a try. You have to order from a screen on the counter, and then they text you when your order is ready. I ordered two hot dogs and a Coke, and they texted me a few minutes later. The hot dogs were split down the middle and nicely caramelized. The bun was nice and soft. I removed a star because there didn't seem to be a way to add toppings, except for the ketchup bottle on the counter. I would have like mustard and chopped onions, but it tasted pretty good plain."

YoYo Treats

★★★★★ 4.9 (34) • $

"So grateful to be sharing this review...I absolutely love making time to stop by Yo-Yo's. It is located inside of a small food hall off E14th & 164th. The booth is full of vibrant colors and a lovely owner. The mango passion Agua Fresca is delightful! Her chamoy is my favorite. So amazing I don't want to order any other drink. The cup of corn w/ sub crema instead of mayonnaise is a yummy snack. And her homemade sesame salsa is deliciously unique. One of my favorite summer spots!"

King Eggroll Express

★★★★☆ 3.5 (50) • $$

"King Eggroll Express opened where New King Roll Express was. Same infrastructure, same kind of food, new owners. No decor.Offerings: drinks, smoothies, bahn mi, dim sum, soups, salads, appetizers, chinese food scoop & go. Ordered at register. Food either scoop ready to go or made to order. Eats: grilled port bahn mi (7.50) ready in 8 minutes-Yuge baguette toasted filled with cilantro, cucumbers, daikon, carrot schreds, jalepeno slices, freshly grilled pork piecea.Yummy comfort food. Didn't taste pate. Spread too thin? Slightly buttery. Doubt it would travel well. Ate it all pronto. 4ish stars. Prepped food behind glass looked fresh..*service was quick, prompt, courteous. Not busy when i went.."

"Crispy tacosStreet tacosChicken, rice, steamed broccoli (steamed to perfection)Tortillas made fresh! Chips, Guacamole, hella sauces Total: $46As a new fast food restaurant, the food was exceptional. The meat was a little bare boned, which was my only complaint. As long as the food is good, I will come back."

Pollo Campero - Digital Kitchen San Jose

★★★★☆ 3.8 (29)

"First time ordering food here and we ordered a 25 pieces combo meal. We chose corn salad, coleslaw, 2 french fries and plantains. We picked up the food at a digital kitchen on ruff drive. The chicken smelled and looked good, but it was not crispy. It had good flavor tough but it just wasn't crispy. The corn salad was good, and it came with diced peppers and feta cheese. The coleslaw was okay, it tasted like regular coleslaw with no special flavors or ingredients. The french fries had good flavor but it also was not crispy and soggy. The plantains were decent, but it was not fried and a little greasy. Overall, the food was decent and I would give it another try since I've heard good reviews."

Grill City

★★☆☆☆ 2 (82)

"After our hike, a member of our group suggested that we have lunch at the Grill City. I didn't know about Filipino stores located on the Hesperian side of Southland Mall. In this building, there's Jollibee and Red Ribbon in front and Seafood City as the main business inside and Grill City is one the restaurants inside.Grill City is famous for its Filipino-style pork and chicken barbecue skewers and other grilled choices such as grilled pork belly, stuffed squid and tilapia, pompano and bangus, adobo, kare-kare, sinigang, nilaga, bopiz, kaldereta and menudo.Grill City is turo-turo or cafeteria style and the line went relatively quick. They were running a 4 for $16 special on the bbq pork and chicken skewers. Since I love the skewers, I decided to get 8 pork ones to eat at the dining area and bring home. The pork was nicely grilled and they were moist and tasty. I will be again for the skewers and try other items they offer. For sure, I want to try to foot long turon."
