    Matsuzaka Meat with Garlic Sauce
    Henry H.

    We decided to come to Full House Dumpling for a dinner on a Friday night. The inside has a line with a divider that's similar one you would often see in Chipotle so our assumption is that it is a takeout like it. However, when we moved toward that direction, the waitress flagged us down and told us it is a sit down restaurant. Odd? Yes. The decor inside is fairly basic but clean, it's like a place you'll go to get your food but not remember the inside very much after you leave. There was no one when we came inside so we got our orders in pretty quick. We ordered: Food - (3 out of 5 stars) 1. Matsuzaka Meat with Garlic Sauce 2. Juicy Pork Dumplings (6 Pieces) 3. Green Onion Pancake with Egg (6 Pieces) 4. Sautéed Plain Asparagus 5. Salted Egg & Yolk with Tofu 6. Prawns Fried Rice 7. Mushu Pork with Egg top While most of the dishes tasted "fine", we could tell that the dishes weren't cooked by a professional chef from Taiwan. The taste are just a little, "off" and on the lighter side of things. While they didn't taste bad, they weren't great either. Service - (4 out of 5 stars) The waitresses were okay, there was no one that particular serves your table. They simply took turns and at times it took us a while to get someone. They were friendly, but it was a little chaotic. All in all, I felt my overall experience was just okay. I think I'll go elsewhere if I want something similar in the future unfortunately...

    House Special Taro Squid Rice Noodles in a clay pot.  One of my family's favorite, so good!!
    Janet T.

    Back at one of our favorite Taiwanese restaurant. Got our usual dishes. We came for a later lunch around 1:45pm, so we didn't have to wait. The kitchen closes by 2:20pm as lunch is closed by 2:30pm where you can only get take out. I always have to get the taro clay pot soup with vermicelli noodles, crab, octopus, fish ball, and mushrooms. We always have leftover of the soup and I love it because I can eat another meal out of it later. The soup has lots flavors and my stomach is quite satisfied. Perfect for the winter! The restaurant is also nice and clean and descent size. There is also a cute dumpling statue in the front that you can take a photo with your family if you are visiting from out of town.

    Three flavor spicy noodle soup since
    Kimm N.

    Came here to try out their three flavor spicy noodle soup since it's hard to find this dish at restaurants in recent years. Especially good quality that I used to get pre-pandemic days.. unfortunately most of the good ones didn't survive the pandemic and no longer existed. :( It was average in flavor and taste. Also the broth is a little on the thick side and could use more. That said my family loves their XLB and thought it was better than Din Tai Fung. Their beef noodle soup apparently was good too. Ambiance: lots of parking space, clean interior and expedient service.

    ***literally my mom's favorite restaurant*** OVERALL: No lunch specials. Taiwanese cuisine. Great prices. Edible food with more or less its expected flavor profile. Dishes are often dirty with spots. FOOD: ***you must always order the XLB as it's their specialty*** - their pickled Napa cabbage and soups seems to be rocking as well (their meatballs are homemade) - their sautéed items needs improvement (it's not very authentic or tasty, it's very MSG filled...for example, no cumin seeds in a cumin dish) - string beans aren't the fresh and crisp kind, but the kind of near past old stage SERVICE: Immediately speaks Mandarin. Very to the point. Very attentive. Would subconsciously rush you out when they see you are at your last bite or having a conversation, they will slip the bill on your table. Does not charge for bag or to go containers. AMBIANCE: Lunch does not seem very busy vs dinner and weekends likely due to no lunch specials. Mostly Mandarin speaking folks dining in. Casual. Great for large groups and parties. Located in the newer Newark / Stevenson plaza. Private parking lot. Would I come back? I wouldn't come here if I had a choice, but am frequently dragged here.

    Rock found in crab seafood pork claypot (washed and dried it)
    DH P.

    Overall, this cozy place is a good spot for authentic home-style Taiwanese food. I have to also preface that I found a rock in the food. -Garlic pea shoots 5/5, perfect sautéed greens -Pork & crab XLB 5/5, so tender and juicy without excessive grease. Just FYI it is not the typically "soupy" style, the broth is held delicately by the soft filling! -Crab, seafood, pork clay pot 3/5, although very delicious and exquisite delicate flavor, I unfortunately found a rock mid-chew. Thankfully I was eating mindfully and did not bite down hard. Disclaimer: You should always be careful when you eat - accidents happen, so things like hair, bugs, rocks, paper, plastic, or bits of metal just end up in your food sometimes. The service is fine. We did come on a busy Saturday afternoon. This type of restaurant is not one where you should linger and socialize for long, just come fill up and then be on your way lol. We were slowing down on our meal, but there was still like half of the food left, and the waitress still came over with the check when she noticed we weren't eating constantly anymore. Taking it as the trade off for the good prices!

    Another update. Our family came to visit during Christmas time and they requested to come back here. We actually hadn't planned on coming here when they initially came a couple years ago but we were thwarted at a busier spot so we decided why not bring them to our go-to spot. So it did give them a good impression that they asked to come here again specifically for their Dong po pork with mini buns. So we came again but this time it was packed but we didn't wait too long to get seated. Then it was just a matter of ordering everything and getting all the food. Unfortunately they did mess up one of our orders which has also happened in the past. It's okay. We'll eat anything but it was a bummer though. But the quality has still been pretty much the same. We're still always comparing other places to this spot for the XLBs. There is a bathroom, but there's only one. So if someone is in there for a while, you'll have to wait. It was a bit difficult to brush my teeth in there though. There's also a lot of seating inside of various sizes that can be combined or taken apart depending on your party size which is nice. They're fast with their food so you won't wait long to be fed. Overall, we're still coming back here often whenever we're craving xlbs or just comfort food.

    Crab Meat seafood combo tofu pot
    Jerry C.

    Went with the fam to eat some soup dumplings. Came on a Saturday night, was fairly busy but we were able to be seated quickly. It was pretty crowded but service was good. I definitely see it as a nice casual spot for a cozy meal! We ordered 3 soup dumplings (loofah and shrimp, pork, pork and crab meat), the thin green onion pancakes, shrimp fried rice, and the crab meat seafood combo tofu clay pot. The soup dumplings and green onion pancakes were the standouts--juicy, savory soup dumplings paired with the vinegar ginger sauce were good, and the green onion pancakes were easy to eat, not too thick and still having some crisp to them, with little bits of scallion flavor coming through. Prices were reasonable and portions were filling! Overall, good place for soup dumplings and other Taiwanese dim sum foods.

    Janet H.

    Super delicious cabbage and beef with 沙茶 (satay) sauce! Definitely recommend trying their xiao long bao -- that first bite when you sip the soup is so satisfying!

    Food here is so good, the soup dumplings, pork with bun, green onion pancake. The service was really quick. Good size restaurant for group too, great place for breakfast and lunch, that's why we kept coming back

    Stir fried A veggie with garlic
    Da Kat A.

    Been here for a few times. The soup dumplings are always good. We tried all three kinds - the pork, pork & crab, loofah squash & shrimp. Dumping wrapping is thin and each steamer has 6 dumplings. Service is fast. It's nice that there are no bones in the drunken chicken and the three-cup chicken dishes. The fish filet with sweet and sour sauce is a bit strange since they added tomato sauce in it which isn't what we expected. The weekend is pretty busy and expect to wait if you go there around lunch time. Note that you'll need to walk all the way inside towards their counter to put down your name on the waiting list.

    Dumplings w/loofah shrimp
    Wei Y.

    Came a long way just to check this place out--feels like I stepped on a landmine. Boneless Drunk Chicken - 3/5 Possibly to make the portion look bigger, the restaurant sliced the chicken thigh meat very thin. But this just made the texture unappealing, and it tasted overly salty. Prawns Fried Rice - 3/5 Overall, too salty and greasy. There's a strong soy sauce flavor that becomes overwhelming by the end. After finishing, my mouth felt oddly numb--really unpleasant. Corn Soup - 4/5 The soup was alright, but nothing particularly impressive. Juicy Dumplings with Loofah and Shrimp - 4/5 Unlike traditional soup dumplings, these didn't have much broth inside. Still, the unique combo of loofah and shrimp gave it a fresh and tasty flavor. The ambiance and service were decent, but the flavors weren't good enough to make me want to come back.

    Yi-lan green onion pancakes (thick 4 pcs)
    Kaman L.

    I have been very happy with the food here every time I came here. A star is taken out because the waitress placed a wrong order for me, but she didn't offered to replace it with the dish I ordered. Sakura shrimp fried rice is my favorite. It was not too salty and not dry as other restaurants that offered this dish. I also like the dried pickled radish omelet. It was juicy and tasty with rice. Sautéed a-Choy with garlic is good too. I was amazed with a wide range selection of vegetables here. 25 veggies dishes to choose from? I seldom see restaurants with that wide range of selection. Juicy pork dumplings (6 pieces) is not bad, but not the best that I ate before. Yi-lan green onion pancakes (thick 4 pcs) was the wrong order the waitress placed. Since it tasted not bad, I just let it go. :) Overall, I love love love the food here. Hope the server won't give me wrong order again next time.

    Xiao Long Bao
    Amy H.

    Pretty solid experience here, it gets pretty busy here during lunch but if you come early enough you'll likely be able to grab a table. Most of the food options are solid, I haven't seen a place with braised beef soup with glass noodles and it's such a delicious dish. If you like the classic noodles, they also have that as an option. They're known for their dumplings and the Xiao Long Bao is delicious, they make sure everyone has ginger, soy sauce and vinegar. It is a bit milder in taste and the skin on the dumplings are on the thicker side. The shumai here doesn't use fish eggs and really well balanced in pork + shrimp.

You can see in my pictures how cute the decorations were as well. Food I think is pretty typical Taiwanese, which you can actually really feel when you order the hot pot, because it has that relatively clear/relatively not oily flavor to it that I think is quite rare for hot pot outside of Taiwan. I also had a side of pork trotters, which also came out surprisingly not that oily. Would strongly recommend this place if you're a fan of traditional South Chinese foods, but not really a fan of oily, overly heavy meals! Service was overall very good, I actually had the sense that they were paying attention more or less the entire time to immediately refill water and other such service items. They also went out of their way to make sure the hot pot thing was constantly lit. Anyways, there's a lot of competition for this type of cuisine in Fremont, but if you're anywhere in the area or have some time to spend, I think spending it relaxing in this restaurant would be a great use of time!

The version here is atypical in that the dipping sauce was not the garlicky sweet soy sauce but lighter with no visible garlic. The dipping sauce was also poured on top of the tofu rather than on the side. It was enjoyable nevertheless. The tofu was perfectly fried on the outside and moist on the inside. With a generous heaping of chili sauce and outstanding pickled cabbage, this dish was a good reinterpretation of the Taiwanese classic. We tried various tasty bento boxes- fried pork chops, Taiwanese sausage, popcorn chicken. Each bento boxes came with side servings of steamed vegetables, stewed egg with bean curd sheet or mini spring rolls. We also had the pork knuckles over rice, which had very tender stewed pork knuckles over rice with meat sauce, bamboo shoots and a stewed egg. Beef noodle soup is an iconic dish in Taiwanese cuisine, and at Old Taro I gave it high marks. The broth was very aromatic and mildly spicy which was perfect for me. You can specify the noodles and I requested the thick flat noodles which really soaked up the broth. The bowl was a good size and filled with prodigious amounts of tender beef chunks, tripes and soft tissues. The meat was tender so it went down without getting between my teeth. Taiwanese desserts are a must, and here you can choose from a selection of shave ice, tofu puddings, regular as well as fried mochis. We had the cute little bathtub filled with taro shave ice, grass jelly, colorful sweet rice dumplings and a panda shaped mango sorbet. A second dessert was soft tofu puddings covered with the colorful sweet dumplings. This came with a side dish of two incredibly flavorful taro cookies. So many dishes we wanted to try.

Vibes were clean and casual but also had upscale decor elements. Wontons with Chili Oil Sauce: 5/5 No complaints! It hit the spot. Wontons had the perfect combo of shrimp and pork in each bit I took. Braised Beef Trio Noodle Soup with Handmade noodles: 4/5 Soup was okay, beef was tender, but the noodles were a bit al dente to my liking. I wish it had more sourness to the soup. Needs some pickled veggies. - Sauce for all the Braised items were a bit to salty. Braise Pork Intestine: 4/5 It was alright. Braise Beef Tripe: 3/5 This was veryyyy soft. Braised Egg: 3/5 The egg was overcooked. Braised Bean Curd: 2/5 Didn't realize this was taiwanese bean curd. I was thinking that this would be a thinner version.

My friends and I each got a beef noodle soup and a pork chop fried rice to share. We also split the century egg with tofu appetizer (15% off with entree order). Ironically enough, the fried rice was my favorite. It was seasoned really well, wasn't too oily, but had that wok aroma. The pork chop was also seasoned well and the meat was high quality. I got the beef shank noodle soup with flat noodles. I am a wider noodle type of gal, but I think I would go with the thin noodles next time. Those feel more inherently "correct" for a beef noodle soup dish. I got 3 decently sized pieces of meat. Meat was really tender. Overall a delicious experience. Definitely one of my favorite beef noodle soup spots in the bay. It was $18 for the beef shank noodle soup. A bit pricier but a decent amount of food.

Some of the items that we got to try is their sticky rice with a Chinese donut inside with some Park floss and it was so good because it's a little bit different it has a little extra pickle inside which is really great for the little salty crunchy bites texture and flavor. . Also they do have your eggs and Chive pancakes which is really made to order fresh and I love getting it with breakfast item or even a snack as well. . I really enjoyed their oyster noodle soup and I do love the oyster bits inside as well the noodles are a little bit on the longer side and I wish it was a little bit shorter and cut up but the flavor of it is really great and they do have your red vinegar on the table which you can spice it up a little bit. . I really do like the Ambiance here it is really casual to your quick fast Eatery pick up and they have a lot of food that is ready to be picked up as well. If you're looking for something homie and cozy and reminds you of home which is like Taiwanese eat it is a place to go visit in the Bay Area. Hope this helps and thanks for reading and have a yeptastic day.

    The Red Oil Wontons (chao shou) really packs flavor! The wontons are wonderfully savory and juicy…read moreinside. The dipping sauce punches your senses with chili oil, vinegar, and garlic. It is kind of spicy and clears your sinuses, so be ready with tissues or napkins! The peanuts and green onions on top provide good crunch and texture to the dish. Each wonton was decent sized, very filling overall. Side note - I like that they double wrapped the container, so it doesn't spill or leak. At the front counter, they have many boxes of apps and side dishes already made and ready to eat. This includes rice dumplings, radish cakes, meatballs (ba wan), rice rolls, poached chicken, pig ear, tofu skin, braised wheat gluten, steamed buns, cucumbers, and black fungus. So convenient to just quickly select some to eat immediately. You can also order fresh hot food from their large menu. They're always busy with long lines, however their service is fast so you don't have to wait long. Most people take their food to go, but there are a few tables inside for dine in too. Very casual environment, kind of a hole in the wall place. It is in the middle of a large shopping center next to Osaka Marketplace with many parking spots. I will be back to try their premade foods!

This dish was bursting with flavors from the spices and herbs and the combination of chicken, squid, and pork intestine. It's a good blend of flavors. The beef noodle soup had the al dente noodle, but I was not that impressed with the broth. It tasted a little plain for my liking. My son and hubby enjoyed it a lot and almost finished the huge bowl. This was our first time at this restaurant. It was great to see how efficient the whole restaurant operated. It was busy throughout our visit. Non-stop walk-ins for dine-in and takeout customers. We were fortunate to be there just before 12nn to beat the line-ups. They say that they open at 12nn but they start letting patrons in way earlier. Would love to go back to try their other dishes.

My friend order stewed pork knuckles over rice , it also has minced pork , gravy & vegetables . We ordered the pork knuckles with vermicelli noodle soup that cost $2.00 extra than the rice plate . I was disappointed that the soup was from the msg package from instant noodle . I could taste it . It should be the flavorful pork knuckle sauce . No vegetables inside the noodle soups . My friend ordered the pork knuckle over rice had a large portion of minced pork , and extra vegetables ,plus rice . Both order had the same amount of stewed pork knuckles and it was rich in flavor , tender and delicious! It was easy to find parking at the front . Good service . Clean and homely ambience.

I am no OG attendee but...I personally thought their dumplings were AMAZING! I was craving xiao long baos so bad. Their XLB was the best I've had in the bay--when I bit into the skin, it was a mouthful of delicious broth. Many other XLB spots could barely produce as much broth as Bing's. The skin was also perfectly QQ. We also ordered their classic pork and cabbage dumplings. Wow. So flavorful and clean. They don't skimp on the meat portions here, that's for sure. Lastly, we got their braised beef noodle soup. Noodles were consistent and QQ, though the broth was a little bland. Albeit, this is a dumpling spot after all! Service was great--food came out super fast and water was always refilled. Perhaps the establishment has taken in the feedback already bc tbh I am not seeing what the negative reviews were talking about hahaha! Perfect mom and pop vibes all around! I WILL BE COMING BACK

    It's been several years since I've been to Bing's Dumpling, so I was looking forward to coming…read moreback. I had heard there was new ownership and was hoping the XLB would be similar to what I remembered from before. Bing's is a fairly small restaurant, and I remember there usually being a good number of people waiting for a table during my previous visits. Unfortunately, that was certainly not an issue this time. We arrived right at 11am, when they opened, and were the first customers. The workers were still preparing to open, but we were seated. We waited about 5-7 minutes before we were given menus. Around 11:27am, two more parties arrived, and it remained quiet with just us three parties there during our visit. We ordered two orders of the regular pork soup dumplings (XLB). Our server was nice and poured us water, and all of the workers were friendly and kind throughout our visit. Unfortunately, the XLB were disappointing. There was little to no soup inside, the pork filling was dry, and the skin was noticeably too thick. The flavor was still slightly there, which gave me a bit of the taste I remembered, but the thick skin and dryness were too significant to ignore. Overall, this unfortunately did not feel like the same Bing's Dumpling I remember from years ago. I really wanted to like the XLB, but they fell short of what it used to be. The friendly and kind service was definitely a positive, but the XLB were the main reason for the visit, and they just weren't there this time.

    Usually Shihlin is my family's favorite popcorn chicken place, but our recent visit was quite…read moredisappointing. The cashier asked what we wanted and said they'd "make it" while we ordered on the kiosk, but brought it out as soon as we were done paying. We've never gotten our food THAT fast before, but didn't think much of it as and walked out. We should've been more suspicious because as soon as we ate a piece, it was clear that this was some previously-made order that was sitting around that they reheated. The flavor was there, but it was soggy and barely warm. We're used to getting our Shihlin hot & fresh, and this location used to do that, but it seems like you should be wary nowadays...

    Just a quick update…read more We had just finished climbing Mission Peak and we were in need of boba and sustenance. So EAT Up in 99 Ranch is always a great option. The only thing is parking is always quite challenging and even more so on a weekend and Wushiland doing a grand opening. Luckily we caught someone leaving as we pulled into one of the rows. Inside, Shihlin has a kiosk and you basically order there or online if you're heading over and don't want to wait. To be honest it didn't take super long to get our food. I had ordered the Treasure Rice Box this time round and well I clearly don't know how to read as I thought it said you can cut the chicken in half or keep it whole. It was actually cut in half or fully cut. *shakes head* So I would've gotten it fully cut for easier eating but the half cut wasn't bad an option as it did keep the meat more warm so I was able to save half for my other half. The mild spicy was a bit more like medium in my opinion and I did less seasoning and it felt like normal. So if you're sensitive to spiciness, I would not get any spiciness on it cause mild was kind of still pretty intense. The one thing they did up their game with is the bag! The bag is stinking cute. Too bad I spilled my boba in it. Ugh Otherwise I would've totally reused it. Anyways, I'm still happy this is here and a mainstay.
