Top Southeast Asian Restaurant in Newark
Tramys Restaurant
5729 Jarvis Ave, Newark, CA 94560, United States
The large lotus root salad appetizer was a standout with its freshness and unique flavor profile. The crunchy lotus root was delightful, providing an interesting texture and flavor that set the tone for the meal. Although the generous portion of celery slightly overpowered the subtle lotus taste, it still made for an enjoyable start to our meal.The restaurants attention to customer satisfaction was particularly impressive. Upon expressing my thoughts about the celery to our attentive server, they graciously prepared a take-away version of the lotus root salad, minus the celery. This gesture allowed me to truly appreciate the essence of the lotus root and its unique flavor - a touch I found to be both considerate and responsive.The filet mignon shaking beef was another highlight. While it diverged a bit from traditional preparations due to the inclusion of gravy, this twist only added to its appeal. The tender, flavorful beef paired wonderfully with the tomato rice, offering a comforting and hearty main course that left us fully satisfied.Overall, our visit to Tramys was an unforgettable experience that balanced traditional cuisine with innovative twists. I look forward to my next meal at this delightful restaurant and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a fresh and satisfying culinary experience.Rating: 4/5

Mingala Restaurant

I found Mingala Restaurant on Yelp when searching for a new Malaysian restaurant in San Jose. Mingala seemed to carry both Burmese and Malaysian food which made me a little hesitant to try it as both these cuisines are very different. However, as it had a solid 4-star rating, I decided to give it a try. I generally get Nasi Lemak at any new Malaysian restaurant that I try. This is a dish that consists of coconut rice, sambal, egg, peanuts, cucumber, onions and a curry which could be either Chicken or Beef, so it gives you a pretty good idea about the overall food at the restaurant. I used the on-line ordering tool on Yelp and got with Nasi Lemak ($10.99) and went with the chick curry (beef curry is $2 more) and landed up there after about 20 minutes.Mingala is in a small strip mall with hardly any parking. I had to hover a while before I got a spot so by the time I got in, it was well over 40 minutes, yet the order was not ready, and I was made to wait another 10 minutes or so before I got my order. This was around 9 pm on a Friday night and the place was about 60% full. I got 2 containers, one with the rice, eggs and salad and another with the chicken curry. The food made up for the long wait. The rice had a rich coconut flavor and even though the portion size of the chicken curry was small it was very tasty. Overall this dish came together very well.As I liked what I got the first time around, I decided to try Mingala again, this time for the Burmese cuisine. Again, as usual I got the Mohinga ($10.99) which is like the national dish of Burma and it consists of a fish-based soup with vermicelli noodles. This time I landed up after 30 minutes to pickup the order, fought for parking and picked it up without any wait. The Mohinga soup was a little runny and lacked the deep fish taste that you expect. The vermicelli noodles looked like they had all clumped up together, but they opened up, when dunked in the soup. Overall this was good not great. I definitely liked the Nasi Lemak more than the Mohinga soup.Price-wise it is pretty cheap with both the dishes being slightly over the $10 mark. Looking at the overall package of cost, quality and service Mingala, definitely gets a thumbs up from me which means I will be back to try more stuff off their menu in due course.

Honestly they are one of the worst place to buy goat meat in these days. They used to be one of the best and now they turned out to be typical southeast asian greed fellas. If you want to buy leg only they leave a huge bone with it and folded in a way with the leg so customer wouldnt notice it. Once they weigh it, the extra bone will add to the weight and they go and cut/chop it out and customer wouldnt aware of it. Very snealy way ot cheating customers. Also, nowadays they leave bunch of fat with the leg and and it will add to the total weight then they remove the fat off. Very conniving way making business. I was very upset as well as my 7-8 friends notticed these and we no longer go there. My Recommedation is Herat market not bad at all
Safeway

TAKE PICS OF THE PRICES and make sure you get your $5 gift card or free item! I have had a wrong price scan every time I have come here.Stopped coming here a month ago for that reason but my bf wanted the real Pepsi, which is not available at the store I usually go to. When the acting manager, Ed (turns out he was NOT a manager at all but was posing as one, which was confirmed by the GM when she called me back after calling the number about price discrepencies), went to help me, he was very condescending; I had to ask him 3 times to stop doing so. He did not believe the pictures I took, was trying to look through the paper to find the price of the exact item I took a pic of with matching UPC, and then he DID NOT HONOR THE DISCOUNT POLICY (see attached pics 1 and 2).Ed claimed that the $5 gift card only counts if the transaction is complete. It says that nowhere on the sign, and the policy is actually a CA state consumer law that I am aware of from previous retail experience in this very state. Confirmed he was wrong by calling the number on the sign about the policy; he knew the policy but just did not want to honor it for me. Also refused to give me his name when I asked for it, and did not ring up all items in the basket so he accused me of stealing when I put all of the groceries, including the items he neglected to ring up, in the bag. Not my fault he did not want to scroll through the screen to make sure all items were on there and correct, despite asking him to do so.Sure this store does not really care about losing a customer but thought I would make others aware that WHEN the wrong price scans, the policy does NOT wait until after the transaction is complete to get the free item or gift card (depending on price).UPDATE: After the GM, Crystal (sp?), called me back at 6:45am the next day, in response to her DM passing my info after the price discrepency customer service call center confirmed that Ed was wrong, she left a $10 giftcard at the counter. I will be passing it on to my boyfriend instead as I have no desire to deal with anymore of this particular store. It was appreciated receiving a call that clarified that Ed was NOT a manager AND that when I asked to speak to one, as I was baffled by his actions, he said that he was the only manager there and I could speak to someone lower than him. She was not happy to hear of him claiming she was not there when she actually was. The GM said, on her own accord, that she will be sure to train the employees on the price discrepency policy as it is CA state law (has been for decades). Hope it works out for the sake of customers possibly dealing with a power-trippin imposter manager at this Safeway!
Lion Market Shopping Center
39055 Cedar Blvd #168, Newark, CA 94560, United States
Argh - the music here drives me crazy!!! It is loud and cacophonous (first time I used that word in a review)! And yes, like other reviewers have stated, I have smelled better supermarkets as well. The customers seem to be a bit more aggro than other supermarkets Ive been to - something about not having a concept of personal space.Located at the end of an indoor mall of sorts, Lion Supermarket has everything from seafood to rice cookers to produce. I scored some fresh green coconuts here for a little over a buck each. I bought about nine that lasted a couple of weeks.Price-wise, I find that Ranch 99 has better deals and seems more organized. I find, however, that the restaurants in this area tend to be better than the Ranch 99 in Newark. Other than that, I dont think Id go out of my way to come back.
