    Combo plate with feta cheese
    Pearl G.

    Food wonderfully tasting service it's outstanding size of portions always enough I recommend this place. It reminds me of a dish that I would get in another country.

    Delicious salad
    Silvia A.

    Nice place, good service, highly recommend. Had the chicken salad for a light dinner.

    Zahra ..

    Food is 10/10, as well as their customer service. The gentleman that works there in the morning regularly is always polite. I have been to many gyro places in the Fremont area and I prefer this one above all others. I have been coming here for 11+ years and now come with my mom at least once a month.

    Two Meat Combo Gyros

    The food was soooo good. You can tell everything was made fresh and in house. It's a pretty small hole in the wall but the vibes were so welcoming. Aziz (I hope I'm spelling that right) was so kind and so generous, he spoke it with us as we were waiting for the food. All in all such a great experience and will definitely come back.

    One of the best lamb sandwitch in the east bay, very friendly staff and amazing food!! Highly recommended!!!

    Chicken Garlic Wrap

    We drove from Half Moon Bay to eat here, by far the best Mediterranean food we have eaten. The flavors are authentic, the service is amazing and the staff is very friendly. Outdoor seating and dog friendly. Great ambience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU WANT THE OG FLAVORS!!

    Beef Steak Gyros Pistachio Baklava

    Food was ready so fast and full of flavor I absolutely loved the flavors a delicious touch of lettuce to keep it fresh and every bite had meat! Had to get another to go Baklava was perfect as well very tasty. Definitely coming back soon

    Chicken Wrap.
    Daniel M.

    Delicious food and good portions for decent prices. We received our food quickly as well. Small establishment with plenty of parking. Would definitely recommend if you're in the mood for Mediterranean cuisine.

    Kebab 2 meat combo
    Rebecca S.

    I ordered a kebab combo and this is what I got. To me-these are not kebab and I'm a bit disappointed. However the food tastes okay and great value for the price ($17.99).

    My favorite local gyro spot on Fremont! The steak gyro is amazing every time I've come here and give you a great portion of meet. The chef is a great guy and makes good conversation.

    Chicken Platter
    Sahar R.

    If you grew up in Fremont or are familiar with the area, then you definitely know Gaters. They are the definition of a hole in the wall with amazing staff and food. I love to go here when I don't have much time/energy to cook at home but I want something filling and nutritious. This regular sized plate is only 14.99 which is insane to me. Most kebab places/mediterranean spots are starting at $25+ these days so this is 10/10 in my books always. The staff is always very friendly, they're open late, and just about everything on the menu is delicious. One of my go to spots since I was in high school!

It's in a small plaza with two other buildings but there is plenty of space for parking. It wasn't too busy there when I went so parking and seating were very easygoing. The staff is extremely friendly and are pretty attentive when it comes to meat refills and checking in. The meat selections are limited to beef, chicken, and lamb. They do offer other meats such as some seafood and meatballs at the toppings bar though. I really liked the ingredient variety, some things I don't think you'd find at most hotpot places. Personally the thick cut potato noodles are a favorite for me!! They also have churned ice cream and refillable pineapple & peach juice. I believe they usually have milk tea as well, but it was Out of Order when I came in. Would love to try it out next time though hopefully! I think there were a few minor fixes for maintenance but overall pretty satisfied from the experience! I would love to revisit again in the future, very budget friendly AYCE hotpot in the bay area. You really can't find weekend lunch prices anywhere these days, most places charge dinner pricing all weekend. The pricing is very generous, the food variety is great, and the staff are all so friendly and inviting. Also LOVE having individual hot pots, makes your hotpot feel more personal and you don't have to worry about sharing :) Great place to come by with loved ones especially if you want to skip the wait most hotpot places come with and have a quick and easy meal.

For all you can eat it is honestly the best of all the options in my opinion. Cleanliness 11/10: The cleanliness of this place is unmatched by any AYCE restaurant I've eaten at. I had to include a picture of the sauce bar because it is really surprising how there is no splattering around the table. Every surface including the sauce bar and other bars were pristine. AYCE options 10/10: The meat choices are beef, lamb, and chicken. The cuts are a bit lean, but honestly I like that better for ayce since it is a bit cleaner tasting and leaves less oil in the broth. They serve the meats in neat labeled trays which I really like. Wide range of vegetable and other hotpot options that are all ayce, notably king oyster mushroom slices, wood ear mushroom, white fish, beancurd skins, large leaf spinach, bomchoy, a variety of noodles. They also have soft serve ice cream and other deserts and fruit. Sauce bar has a good variety. It has all the options you might find at a place like haidilao. The soy and vinegar are on a separate table in drink dispensers, you might miss it. I recommend for people who are not experienced with hot pot to do a 3:1 ratio of soy sauce and vinegar with a squeeze of lemon as well as some chili, cilantro, green onion, and garlic. The sesame dressing is great on its own with vegetables. Broth 9/10: I recommend spicy or mushroom broth. It is similar to what you would get at a place like haidilao but much less oily, it is still quite spicy and a good amount of oil.

    This review is long overdue, but I feel obligated to share our experience so other families know…read morewhat to expect from Kabob Fusion. My family and I, two adults and two young children, came here during Ramadan for iftaar. Before arriving, I specifically called ahead to ask whether we needed to come early because I understood restaurants can become very busy during iftaar time. I was told that arriving 10 to 15 minutes before iftaar would be perfectly fine and that our food would be ready around the time of breaking fast. Based on that reassurance, we came about 20 minutes before iftaar expecting a smooth experience. Instead, the moment we walked in, it felt like we were invisible. The restaurant was crowded but not chaotic. We sat down and waited while servers walked past us repeatedly without acknowledging us. Eventually, I had to flag someone down myself just to place an order. I even asked directly how long the food would take because we were fasting all day and had two small children with us. The server confidently assured us the food would arrive around iftaar time. That never happened. When iftaar finally arrived, all we received were dates and water. No appetizers, no main dishes, nothing. We continued waiting while table after table around us received their food. Meanwhile, our children became increasingly upset and hungry. Anyone with young kids knows that after a full day of fasting, asking them to wait another 20, 30, even 50 minutes is nearly impossible. Our kids were crying, exhausted, and confused as they watched other families eat while we sat there with empty plates. What made the situation worse was the complete lack of honesty and accountability. Every time we asked about our order, we were told, "It's coming soon." Then eventually the server disappeared entirely for nearly 20 minutes and avoided us altogether. A woman later approached us, but instead of apologizing or taking our concerns seriously, she became dismissive and defensive. By this point, nearly 50 minutes had passed since we ordered, and she still insisted we "shouldn't complain" (in Farsi) because the food would come "soon." That response was honestly more upsetting than the delay itself. A simple apology, honesty, or basic compassion toward a fasting family with small children would have gone a long way. We eventually left the restaurant feeling humiliated, disrespected, and deeply disappointed. What saddened me most is that this happened during Ramadan, a month centered around patience, generosity, hospitality, and good character. In Afghan culture and Islamic ethics, guests are supposed to be treated with dignity and care, especially during iftaar. Halal is not only about the food being permissible. Halal is also about honesty, fairness, respect, and how people are treated. Sadly, this restaurant failed in all of those areas. We will never return, and I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for respectful service or a welcoming family environment.

I've been wanting to try Chinese takeout places and I find this quite unique because they serve Chinese food in halal style. They also have a prayer room at the right side of the restaurant. While it's very quiet outside, the place looks very elegant and nice inside. I can see that they really have taken good care of it. Probably a place you can socialize with friends in a night outing. Meal portions are very massive, which can probably feed more than one person. Pretty much all the items are good. My only concern is the Orange Chicken because it looses its texture and gets very slimy. In other words, coating falls apart. This would have been one of the best Chinese restaurants I would go for takeouts but they only have 2-3 weeks left before they permanently close it. I recommend supporting this restaurant by visiting and even trying their foods before their closure. Food is really good here.

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is tranquil, clean, and modern. The staff were extremely friendly and since it's not a large restaurant, it felt like they were very attentive. I noticed this restaurant offers a small room for those who need to pray. It's also a halal restaurant so you'll notice this on the menu since they do not offer alcohol or pork items. One of my favorite discoveries of this restaurant is the chicken teriyaki roll. I feel like more restaurants need to offer this! I loved it! Their hibachi is flavorful and meat is tender. You get the same great flavor of a typical hibachi without having the awkwardness of a chef cooking in front of you or wreaking of food smell on your clothes when you go home. This environment is like a typical restaurant where the food comes from a kitchen in the back so it completely eliminates that. Large groups beware - This restaurant is small so and we witnessed a table of 8-10 get separated since they could not seat them together. I'm sure a reservation ahead of time would have helped this situation. Food is really great quality though and we will definitely be back!
