Top Asian Fusion Restaurant in Castro Valley
The chicken on Fire
2836 Castro Valley Blvd, Castro Valley, CA 94546, United States
Chicken on Fire is a monthly go to. Was so saddened Covid-19 impacted its hours bc now I can only frequent establishment on Fridays while in the area. However, I have made the 40 mile one way trip on the weekends when the craving was at a 10.Chicken flavors are delish my favs being Soy Garlic, Sweet and Sour and Spicy. The chicken is cooked throughout with a slightly crunchy texture and sauces equally coating each wing ?. I believe they have fullsize and party wings although Ive only had party size. Order for one has approx 15 wings and for two 30 wings. I love having extra for the late nite binges. Leftovers at room temperature or tossed in the air fryer on reheat is a beautiful 12:32 a.m. ewww weee good eatin experience. The coleslaw is the absolute best. It is chilled and shredded with a slightly sweet dressing which the proprietor will not share the recipe even after 4 yrs of our asking ? I usually forgo the rice which comes with it and I double up on the slaw? oh and the chilled pickled radish or jicama (my colleague and I always ask which it is and forget as soon as we are told) is actually rather tasty and enhances the meal.
Genghix Asian Fusion
20855 Redwood Rd, Castro Valley, CA 94546, United States
I have a long and personal history wit this place.I remember going to this restaurant back when I was just a kid, having just immigrated to the United States. Back then it was a buffet with Chinese, Korean, Japanese and European dishes thrown together. It was delicious.Genghix underwent many renovations as it transitioned over the years to become the traditional service restaurant it is today. They have kept many of the Chinese dishes they served before, and have expanded their sushi menu dramatically. The end result is a restaurant, whos offerings have matured and refined from its days as a greasy spoon buffet, into a rich and charming Asian fusion restaurant that offers some of the best dining in Castro Valley. Do yourself a favor and take someone you love to check it out.

I live right around the corner and I couldnt ask for more!Theres mainly Asian Cuisine here and I cant complain.Right when you walk in, theres the Pokeatery to the left. As you may suspect, its the standard Poke Bowl concept. Its rather good and portions are hefty compared to some other places.Continuing down the left side, is Milk and Cookie Bar. Im sure youve seen the colorful ice cream creations all over Instagram. Milk and Cookie Bar definitely has some Insta-worthy treats and most definitely some mouthwatering flavors. Im a HUGE fan of their Ube. Ice Cream flavors rotate in and out so youll have to check in to see what flavors they have for the day!Shumi Ramen is the next staple in the food court. Not the best ramen place but not terrible either. It hits the spot on a cold day and when I dont feel like driving to Oakland just to get a solid bowl of ramen. Shumi Ramen offers a pretty extensive list of items so Im sure Ill be back to try more!T4 anchors the wall to the back of the Public Market. Youre standard boba place with a few other food offerings like egg puffs. I would prefer iTea over T4 but I cant complain too much about having a boba place around the corner from my house. :0)Last but very not least, Mama Chos sells some AMAZING Korean-Mexican fusion food. They sell meat and now, finally, PRODUCE! They have a great section of beverages that lines the back wall. Pricey but nothing too crazy. Ill sometimes come here to buy their Strawberry Milk and kimchi. If you love Senor Sisig or the Kogi Truck, Mama Chos has a similar concept.If youre ever in the area, perhaps having taken a nice stroll through Lake Chabot, you should definitely stop by for a bite or drink! Theres outside seating so you can sit out with your doggie! (I believe its service dogs only, inside)Yes, there are restrooms!
Nick The Greek Castro Valley
20628 Rustic Dr, Castro Valley, CA 94546, United States
After months of anticipation Nick the Greek CV is open yay!! We got there and line was almost going out the door. The service was excellent and super fast! We dont eat cheese and requested no feta on our dishes and this was respected. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious! Bathrooms super clean and sanitizer stands throughout the restaurant. Staff was so friendly and we left with full bellies smiles ? since Google wont let me add images captions we had the Prasini salad which depth of flavor cant be seen in photos, lemon, dill, scallion and crispy romaine, also the Falafel pita which was very flavor-filled, the Veggie pita was our favorite with meaty portabello mushrooms and perfectly grilled zucchini. And lastly the greek fries with no feta but added spicy yogurt sauce. All highly recommended!
Mama Chos BBQ
18911 Lake Chabot Rd, Castro Valley, CA 94546, United States
Pros:Cashier was friendly! They allow credit card/debit card usage. Plenty of seating. I liked the fish cake and seaweed salad was alright.cons:tried 3 kinds of korean-mexican tacos. $5/each including tax, so it wasnt a good deal. They werent much bigger than $2 tacos Ive had and certainly didnt taste better. I liked the marinated pork 1. The chicken taco was rather bland til I added salt to bring out the taste. Just tasted weird. Didnt like the taste of the taco. ( I didnt add too much salt in.) The taco in the middle tasted bad, but I finished it since I already paid for it.result:Id like to try the actual korean food, but Im not sure Ill come here again. Pretty pricey and the $ on yelp isnt accurate. Its more like $$. I dont like their +$1 policy for drinking beer at the restaurant/food court place.
