We were a big-ish party but the service was very attentive and we did not feel rushed. I was also shocked to find out they give a freebie bag for birthdays, which included a cute capybara chef plush, snacks, and a drink! I'm not sure why it says permanently closed because we went a few weeks ago and saw no notice. I hope it's still open because I'd def come back!

Skewers for dinner. What's not to like? This place always has the best lamb skewers. In fact, their…read morepork, pineapple chicken, and enoki bacon are tasty as well. We always order the cucumber salad here and dip our skewer meat into the sauce. Absolutely delicious! Their decor is fun, too. There are large, ornate wooden tables with candle heated (sterno style) warming plates throughout the whole restaurant. The ceiling is completely covered with hanging pink flowers. And not sure if they still have entertainment on weekend nights, but a few times in the past they had a musician playing a Chinese zither. If you like skewers, this place is definitely worth a visit.

It's a huge woke of their fried chicken with ton of Sichuan chilli's. Honestly we didn't find it sooo tongue numbing spicy like most other places that we actually liked it like this. Also ordered the fried rice. It's good and tasty. Their complimentary roasted salted peanuts are so yummy. It reminded us of the bar snack we get in India that we actually ordered a beer to go with it. The beer was good too light and fresh. Forgot the name. Ambiance gets a special mention. It's so unique and loved the vibe.

The broth had plenty of flavor and could spice up a whole meal, but didn't turn out to be the ultra spicy soup that is so popular today, which is a common issue. Additionally, the beef was super tender and easy to pull apart. We also shared some dumplings, which had super crisp outsides, and were really juicy. Service was friendly and gave us our food faster that I expected. I definitely will be coming back when I want something warm and filling.

Hahaha If you don't like spicy food or oily dishes, then stay away from this place. You're not going to be able to handle the burning sensation in your mouth.......but I do suggest you request the dishes without spice seasoning if you prefer non spicy.......then you'll be ok. You can also request seasoning on the side so you can control the level of spiciness. Don't get me wrong! This place is good and dishes are reasonably priced. Those peppercorns give it that numbing feeling in your mouth in a good way. It's best to eat here during cooler months, in my opinion. I think it worth trying it.

It was a bit unorganized and people walking around but not sure where to seat us. We finally got seated and had to wait a while and waved down people a few times to get out orders in. It is okay, I am here for the good, not the service after all. Right? I was disappointed. The oyster pancake was extremely fishy. The rice cake (well not really a cake but inverted sticky rice cup) was cold and where is the pork floss? The chicken rolls were decent, the best dish. I didn't try the fried intestines but was told there were okay. The stinky tofu not really stinky. I think it is because we are in the US and many restaurants stopped selling this due to complaints. I can take that but the dipping sauce was lacking with no garlic flavor. The other items were nothing to write home about. We were waiting for our stir fried seafood noodles and finally waved down someone only to find out it is out, but no one told us. So we ordered pork chop bento as we saw the next table had one and the portion was amazing. Well, someone must have eaten our order in the kitchen as ours was half of the size as what we saw from the other table. The decor was very simple and as with most Asian restaurant it was noisy. But I was there for the food so no problem. But the food didn't deliver.

My family and I are loyal customers of Good Neighbor Seafood Restaurant. They serve a wide variety…read moreof southern Chinese fare in an unpretentious and friendly atmosphere. Most people, local and from afar, come here for their 3-dish menu. When we first started eating here more than a decade ago, it was $19.50. But with inflation surging once again, the price has gone up to $38.99, which is still reasonable compared to other Cantonese restaurants in the East Bay. Our most recent visit took place on 11/15/2025. After attending the Bolo Yeung "You Are Next!" Autograph Signing Event at the Great Mall, four of us came here for dinner. It was busy when we walked in at around 6:20pm. The place was 90% full, with many others waiting for their takeout orders. We scored the last round table. The friendly tall waitress came by to say hi and dropped out a couple menus. (For those of you who don't know who Bolo is, he's the original "Beast of the East" and was featured in movies such as "Enter the Dragon", "Bloodsport", and "Double Impact".) We ordered a total of seven dishes. The quality was good as usual. The standouts were the scrambled eggs with shrimp and yellow chives (soft and creamy inside), Peking pork chops (crispy, meaty pork chops perfectly coated in a tangy sauce/best in the East Bay), and the bean curd strips and pork stir-fry. The tall waitress provided excellent service. She talked to us like family and was very efficient. She's been with this restaurant for a long time and if I recall correctly, she is mainly doing this for kicks (and some spending money). If you want some good Chinese food that doesn't break the bank, this is the place to be. Still 4 stars.

The restaurant looked full, but we were seated immediately at a small table. The service was friendly, informative and quick with the food. We wanted to try a bunch of different things, but our waitress actually told us we wouldn't be able to finish the first four dishes we ordered. She was right; we appreciated her help and took boxes to go. The food was great and my friend flew back to Connecticut happy. In February, my wife threw a bridal shower and decided to use Good Neighbor to provide all the food. She went to order on her lunch break and met with the owners to choose the dishes. They were helpful and informative. The day of the shower, they helped me load all the boxes into the vehicle, using a cart for transport. The important thing to note was the cost was reasonable for feeding 20 people. The food was enjoyed by all the guests and we had leftovers for dinner! You just can't beat that today. There's a ton of parking and they treat all their customers well. Only thing to note is they are closed on Tuesdays.

The Newark location specifically, the Union City location was way disappointing compared to Newark. The food is delicious and fresh, the walnut prawns made to order is my favorite! Any time anyone is sick in my house our first stop is here for the hot and sour soup. The service is always great too, in person and through telephone. They've always been warm and inviting when we come in. I don't think they offer dine in after Covid but the neighboring room looks super cute with the umbrella ceiling. The pricing is great too, way more reasonably priced for good food and big portions compared to other places I've gone to that are way overpriced for mediocre food. We always get combos and do half chowmein and half fried rice. Hot and sour soup is a must, orange chicken and egg rolls are also part of our usual order.

Don't let the fair pricing fool you, it is a really nice restaurant!! The interior is incredibly clean & well maintained, it's a whole experience having dinner there. After dinner (if you have children, this is key) they give you a scoop of ice cream, which is included with your dinner / lunch. I took my little daughter there once, for lunch, during daddy-daughter day. She REALLY enjoyed it. They have great meat options & the noodles, vegetables, etc - you go grab yourself, buffet style. So you go load a plate with whatever you'd like to add to your cook pot, along with the meat. They have little soft boiled quail eggs that you can add to your pot - HIGHLY recommend!! They have, if I recall, 4 or 5 different soup bases to choose from. I've had three thus far & they have all been incredibly good. PLEASE NOTE - the spicy one is no joke, I am a spicy food connoisseur & I will admit, even on my "0-10" scale, that red spicy soup base was easily an 8. Interestingly enough albeit very spicy, the red soup base has excellent flavor; in other words it's not just pure pain & terror & capsaicin overdose... It's spicy AND very flavorful. Give these guys a try!! We will definitely be returning, although this has to be more of a quarterly thing. As eating hot pot with little kids is NOT easy for parents - constantly making sure they don't spill boiling soup on themselves. What we did was asked for a bowl / plate; so we could serve the children the various meats, noodles, vegetables after they were cooked... Also to prevent the children from sticking spoons into a vigorously boiling pot. (SAFETY NOTE - the cook pots are directly in the table, built-in cooktops. So be vigilant with small children. The wait staff will give you a tutorial on how to increase/decrease the heat on the burner and/or how to shut it off when you're done cooking. Aside from my concern of the children burning themselves, it is an EXCELLENT experience for kids nevertheless).
