Top Asian Restaurant in Fremont
Best Asian Bistro
4161 Cushing Pkwy, Fremont, CA 94538, United States
Best Asian Bistro is a great restaurant to get your Cantonese food fix. The food is tasty, comes in generous portions, and is just really good Cantonese cuisine. My mom noted that the food here reminds her of Hong Kong because it was so authentic. Ive tried the restaurant both as take out and when dining in, and the food is consistently good. If you happen to dine in, its definitely a no frills Chinese restaurant experience, but I will note that the service is much friendlier and the restaurant is much cleaner than the holes-in-the-wall restaurants that serves insanely good food. I have yet to try the dim sum here, but will when the cravings kick in. Fremont lost a lot of really good Cantonese restaurants and it was such a joy to find a restaurant that serves good food at reasonable prices. This is our go-to restaurant when we want some good Cantonese food and one that is definitely worth trying out.
Shalimar Restaurant
3325 Walnut Ave, Fremont, CA 94538, United States
I am really sorry for the 1* review in-spite of having eaten a relatively good meal in Shalimar Restaurant.Shalimar Restaurant is a very basic restaurant where one orders at the counter and food is served at your table. it has pretty ordinary tables, basic plates and cutlery and very attractively priced dishes which spell value for money.They have some sliced onions next to the order counter which is basically on self-service. They also have Masala Tea with disposable cups next the counter on self-service.Our order for Kadhai Chicken along with Naans and Goat Biryani was served at our table within 10 minutes by eager to serve servers. The Kadhai Chicken was very well cooked and spiced to perfection (I agree with other reviewers that the curries are a bit too oily but then that is how Kadhai Chicken needs to be cooked).Though I have eaten better Naans elsewhere - the Naans served out here were not bad and had a character of their own.Starting off with the Goat Biryani - the first few bites and pieces of goat meat was quite delectable but then one big piece of completely dry and burnt meat came up which was simply not edible. Then my wife found a piece of Chicken meat from the confines of the Goat Biryani!Even at this point we were not disappointed with Shalimar Restaurant. Having finished our meal - I decided to wash my hands and started looking for the restroom which was hidden away in the back with its door opposite the kitchen door.As I awaited my turn outside the restroom the door to the kitchen opened giving me a sneak peek into the kitchen. The view is simply unforgettable. It was dirty, filthy, greasy and in a complete mess. Mayhem may be the most appropriate word to describe the kitchen at best.The restroom got vacant - I entered and walked right out!I am hard pressed in comprehending how Shalimar Restaurant has managed to get its operations approved by the City of Fremont?
Sala Thai Restaurant
3241 Walnut Ave, Fremont, CA 94538, United States
Overall: 4.4/5Came here for Sunday lunch right when they opened at noon so we got seated right away for a party of 7. They have QR codes on the table for you to order online if you want but also provided menus in case you want to order with the waitresses. The menu is pretty extensive but since we were a big group, we ordered all different items to share family style. The place started to get crowded by the time we put in our order online and there was a line by the time we left.Roti Canai ($6.95): The roti was flat, flakey, & tasted like a green onion pancake without the green onion. It came with a curry sauce that wasnt too strong since it had a more watery consistency than regular curry. It was good but not worth it. The portion is small too.Golden Tofu ($7.95): The tofu looks pretty normal but the way they fry it kept the tofu soft inside. But the best part of the dish was actually the peanut sauce. It was delicious so you just have to get the tofu coated in it.Crab Fried Rice ($18.95): This fried rice is so good in multiple ways. The first is by itself. The seasoning is light but theres enough taste from the ingredients like the crab and oil that it gives the fried rice just enough flavor. The second way we ate the rice was with the crispy fish and its sauce. The third way was with the duck curry. Both the 2nd and 3rd way give you a depth of umami that just complements the fried rice.Crispy Fish With Sweet Garlic Sauce ($17.95): This is their special dish and a must have! We got two orders for the table since they give huge pieces of fish but small quantity. The fish is really crispy - fried to perfection. The sauce is also amazing. You have to drizzle it on the fish and the fried rice *chefs kissDuck Curry ($16.95): Im really bummed that Thai restaurants dont give rice with curry dishes anymore. We ate this with the crab fried rice instead. The duck was very tender and the curry was packed full of flavors. I didnt think it was salty but my family thought it was a bit. I do think the prices for Thai curry is pretty steep for the small portion size though.Pad Thai With Chicken ($14.95): This is good if you eat it before the crispy fish and duck curry because those dishes are really umami so it will change your palette taste for the pad thai afterwards. The pad Thai is not a specialty here and we had better at other Thai restaurants so you can skip this item.Basil Chicken Entree ($14.95): My brother got this since hes on a strict diet but it was not good. The chicken was kinda bland at the beginning since it hasnt had time to soak up the sauce but after 20 minutes, the chicken was very salty. The bell pepper was a bit undercooked too. Hard pass.

Apologize in advance for a long review...I heard great things about this restaurant but never tried it. Recently a family member told me that the Sunnyvale location was really good. As I was looking up the location, there was this Fremont location that was closer to me. So I thought Id try that....big mistake. We got there around 7:15pm on a Friday night, it didnt look busy for dine in but I saw the take out que lined up on a table. We were a table of 5 including a toddler, we got seated right away. The place looked very nice and ambiant. Food was pricey here, but since this was a Indo-Chinese specialty, we didnt mind. We were given paper menu, but after we had ordered, they asked for it back right away... I thought they were single use? Our appetizers came right away, The masala butter Momos were really good, hot and sour soup was ok...more on the salty side. There was a good portion of paneer 65 but it had burnt aftertaste like the oil that it was cooked in was used many times. We tried the veg Hakka noodles and street food Noodles, we couldnt tell the difference. Wings are not their specialty at all, had better wings at a pizza place. Overall food was ok, Service was ok too, they gave us a cup of soup instead of a family bowl. For $16 noodles, there was no wow factor or anything special about it. During the end, the bill came quickly glanced at it and gave my card. As I got back the receipt to sign, I saw the suggested tip added that to the bill, picked up our left overs and left to my car. I then started to review the bill thinking wow this was really expensive place, and that where I made the mistake, I didnt know that they already charged 21% gratuity! I thought gratuity was over 6 ppl! I quickly went back to the restaurant to see if they can cancel my extra tip of 15% the lady at the front desk stated its too late now, I cant reverse the tip and its too long and complicated. I noticed she was using a POS system, so I knew she was lying. She stated that gratuity is over a party of 5 which I never heard of?? Maybe wrong... Either way she didnt want to help me, got 36% off of a $200 bill. My issue is that I gave extra tip on top of a already 21% gratuity added and they didnt care. This was my final tip to them. Never coming back...

We visited this establishment today 04/12/24 at approximately 2:30 pm. If I could give this place a zero I would without any remorse. They were extremely backed up on others with numerous people waiting in the dining area. I saw two employees enter to join the staff behind the counter and immediately a couple of F-bombs were dropped. I saw numerous cups dropped on the floor from the preparation side. One of the employees picked them up and looked at them. Another employee said just wash them and that is what occurred. A syrup top fell to the floor and it was picked up and placed on the container without being washed. After approximately 20 minutes we received our drinks. The fruit drinks barely had any fruit and my roasted oolong tea was horrible and wound up in the garbage. This establishment deserves a visit from the health department and I would not recommend this business.
Boiling Point

Good Asian Fusion restaurant for people exploring the hotpot scene. The broth is flavorful, the meat is almost done, so, by the time the flame dies the food is fully cooked. The server staff are helpful and courteous.
Little Madfish Fremont
43337 Christy St #3032, Fremont, CA 94538, United States
Let me tell you! I LOVE SUSHI ?! I always have, I remember going to a super expensive ritzy foo foo sushi restaurant in Santana Row for my friends 30th and spending $$$ on deep fried California rolls!!! ? those were the days, but outta the blue years later I developed an allergic reaction to Fish! Like not even subtle --- were talkin epi-pen status but that doesnt curve my cravings for sushi! So recently I decided to order through UberEats some fare. Little Mad Fish came up in my search as not only super reasonable but super close to work. But I didnt want to place my order before talking to someone about my allergies on the phone. So I call and Gina picks up ? & let me tell you --- She is the kindset soul there is! She let me substitute and switch out all of the fish based items with vegetarian options, not only was the sushi and bento box DELICIOUS ? but her warmth and charm and understanding made the experience all that much more wonderful! I will definitely be ordering my dinner through LMFs Gina! Shes a SUPER STAR ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ??
Chatpatta Corner
34751 Ardenwood Blvd #3654, Fremont, CA 94555, United States
If you love or want to experience truly authentic flavors of Delhi/North Indian chaat in the Bay Area, look no further than Chatpat chaat corner. Family owned by two sisters, they've held their consistency in flavors and recipes for over 25 years. Back in the day I remember lining up at Dana bazaar for an hour to get a turn only available on weekends. Then they opened up this place and it became more convenient to get a fix of chaat on any day as long as one drives to Ardenwood. The sweet chutney, pani poori, Dahi papdi, all are to die for if you are a true officianado.Last ate there on a lazy Friday afternoon in may 2023 and the flavor remains the same as 20 -23 years before that.Reading some other reviews, why anyone would go there for anything but chaat is a mystery to me. Equally I don't expect the experience or ambience any better then what I'm used to in the homeland. You grab a bestie, enjoy a few giggles as aunty serves you pani Poori faster then you can eat… then eat another chaat cuz you must … then have chai or Maza to put out the flames of the prior two ? and then you pay and scoot. That's what you are supposed to do at a chaat place!If you want to get yourself some sweet- spicy- hot-cold- soft- crispy combination of mouth Grenada, I promise you will not be disappointed. However If you want to hang with family / friends over a great Indian meal and wonderful ambiance, there are obviously many more options you may consider. If you are also the types to calculate best value and go for the cheapest options then I have not done that price survey either…. I'm simply a lover of chaat— the flavors the quality and I also don't like getting sick from it next day! And I can tell you for last 25 yrs this is the only place in Bay Area that comes even close to the original stuff in the homeland while being high quality.…( actually often better )
Panda Express

I would like to start off with saying that this place gets no stars, I ordered my food through Ubereats to be delivered around 8pm. They are open until 10:30pm so I didn't order right before closing. My Uber driver arrived at the location and was greeted by a very rude and unprofessional employee named Leo who proceeded to tell the Uber driver that they didn't have any food and then walked off . The driver confronted him as he was trying to get me my food which at this point was already an hour late. The employee Leo told the driver and myself to F off and cancel my order. I was on the phone with my driver trying to resolve the issue and was denied that by Leo. I was told to F off multiple times before a manager came and tried to calm the situation then proceeding to us that they only had brown rice and Teriyaki chicken available. How does a restaurant only have two items available two hours before they close and second why did they confirmed that they had my items in stock when I ordered in the first place. I personally went around the out of stock items on the app and picked things they claimed were available. As someone that is a manager in retail sales this is absolutely the worst customer service I have received as a consumer. If I had it my way Leo should lose his job as the behavior and language he used on a paying customer is very unacceptable. I recommend that no one goes to this location. You will only face verbal abuse and disappointment. I would recommend the Panda Express location off of Osgood rd in Fremont. That was the location I normally ordered from but lost the ability to when I moved. This was a very shocking situation.
Pho Saigon Pasteur Noodle House

I have to say I am pretty disappointed with my last visit. There was an accident on the freeway and all the lanes were closed so I decided to come here and have dinner while the freeway clears up. I have been here before in the past and my experience was pretty mediocre. This time it was less pleasant than the last. Before I enter the establishment, their door was open, which tells me either they were being cheap about the air condition or their air condition was broken. Keep in mind, the temperature was close to 100°F. I was hoping to sit and enjoy the air condition restaurant but instead, I was eating hot food in a hot room. I ordered their roast chicken and it was pretty mediocre. With their restaurant door open to the hot weather it made my dining very uncomfortable. I generally don't drink water provided by restaurant, but in this case I drank about three glasses, not because I was thirsty, but it was to cool myself off. Not surprising, the only employee that was working, was an old man sitting at the back table, watching videos on his phone. Though I do have to give him a little bit of credit for the customer service. I did have to fly them down to get a refill of water instead of him checking up on my table. For the price of the items on the menu, it was higher than I would pay at other Vietnamese restaurants. I would definitely have to think twice if this happens again about eating at this location.Price: $$Quality: BService: B
