This one needed a little bit more salt, but definitely needed to pay attention to not being overcooked. I'm sad.

Nested in the brewery, it's a convenient spot to catch up with folks, grab a drink, and grub. Parking can suck however, since this is Fremont and you'll need to find street parking. I don't like the idea of hot soup in plastic but it's street food style and the disposable bowls are consistent in theme. Zangi - Hokkaido style chicken karaage! Delicious, juicy, and flavorful with some hints of garlic. Larger pieces than typical karaage, these were a hit for me. Highly recommend and the spicy mayo on the side was tasty. Hakodate Shio Ramen - shio sea salt was my choice for their simple, chicken and kelp foundation. Basic is good, comforting, and hearty, but hard to be special compared to others. Lots of additional toppings are included but what surprised me was the takoyaki inside. They got soggy which is a stark contrast to my expectations for takoyaki. Little small, but can be filling because of the quantity of items inside.

We went around 6pm and were able to find parking and no line for ordering. We ordered fried momo, steamed momo, chili momo, and butter momo. Took about 15 minutes. Young man at the counter was incredibly friendly and helpful with our questions. The chef is from Nepal I believe and he's kind and a wonderful cook! Chill momo was the of the show. Bursting with the flavors and spices. Each momo is coated. You'll get onions and bell peppers as well. This was my favorite of all the momo. It is spicy-ish, but everyone's spice level is different. I love spice so this I'd recommend to anyone who also enjoys spicy foods. Butter momo would be the closest to first place for me. I'd suggest this one for someone who doesn't want spicy. Similar sauce to the curry that comes with butter chicken. Sweet and creamy. They give you plenty of sauce and it's delicious. Fried & steamed chicken momo were wonderful and classic. Our friend who dined with us is from Nepal and said she believes this might be the most authentic place for momo. our/her other momo spot is Indian-Nepali kitchen. This place also had fried rice and chow mein and a couple of other options that we will certainly be back for to try. You won't regret coming here, there's no bad option on their menu and you'll leave feeling happy and full.

At around 12:30 there was a decent sized crowd, mostly at the ramen station, so we went straight for the Korean rice bowl area where there were only two people in line. We were quickly helped, and I ordered a chicken bowl with everything. The workers were efficient and generous with building the bowl and I was excited to try. At the time there were not a ton of people eating in person, and the seating area appeared quite cozy and comfortable, but we opted to take it to go. When finally eating, I started with the potato/raisin dish which was great. Everything else was equally good. One caveat being, despite getting the sauce that claimed to be very spicy, the spice level was basically non existent (only coming from the jalapeños). But that did not detract from my overall enjoyment of the food! And it was enough for two meals for me. I'll definitely be back, especially to try their fried chicken!

It's a little bit expensive for what you end up getting, but it's super convenient and the service is great. The women that run it are friendly and always in a good mood. I'm usually in a rush when getting lunch here and they're always reliable. I feel really lucky that such a deli is in my building. I usually get their chicken teriyaki bowl, which costs about $7. Their BLT, chicken Caesar salad and bagels are also good. I see a lot of people order their signature sandwiches, but I don't feel you get much for what you pay for. Their drink selection is coke products, vitamin waters and other quick drinks. Don't expect to be blown away by their selection -- you get the basics. If you're in need of a candy bar or pack of gum they've also got you covered. Go Beba's!

I got here with friends on the Saturday of Sakura Con and wanted a quick but filling meal to last a concert and the rest of the night essentially. Yikes.

I got their lamb shawrma plate, which has a bunch of marinated grilled lamb strips all over rice, along with some veggies and tahini sauce both on the side. I also got some pitas as my bread for this meal. The pita and rice were not of the best quality for me, though the lamb was the best part of the meal. It doesn't have the gamey taste that lamb usually has, and tastes like there's a ton of spices that have seeped deep into the meat. It's tender, rich in flavor and not too salty, so it paired really well with the rice. Like the other eateries in the same area, I'd only really be back if I'm around the area and need to get a quick bite before an event or hangout.

Since i had time i went ahead and enjoyed my food at their bar. The fries themselves reminded me of burger King fries. To speak on my service, it was pretty basic. The helper couldn't speak much English but I didn't need her to. The flavor was actually kind of good, but My fries tasted barely cooked enough. Luckily they were on the right side of the line so they get a pass. A few people walking by had tried this place already and for sure wanted to discuss the differences in experiencs. Which made someone else walking by chime in and say "WHAT, HOW CAN ANYONE MESS UP MAKING FRIES". This started a whole new debate. somehow they managed to live up tot he "bar" portion of their name. Idk if I would recommend this place based on the convo I had with others. From my own experience, I'd say yes if u just want something quick and cheap.
