If you want an asian tapas spot - THIS IS IT! O R D E R E D - Korean beef bone soup - Curry Chicken Toast - Bbq beef ribs - Grilled Mussels - Samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly) V E R D I C T OMG i cannot get enough of the toast from the curry chicken toast, i think i can eat so many orders of the bread alone. it's so soft and fluffy, like eating cloud, if I ever ate that haha. Their portions are bigger than I expected, worth it! This is a fun spot to hangout with friends to grab a bite to eat and to watch a spots game or listen to and watch some Kpop MVs. The service is friendly and attentive, I came on a weekend lunch - dine in wasn't too busy, lucky me but I definitely noticed a lot of to go orders. Parking is easy because they're in a plaza, so no stress there. read more

My two friends kept raving about their $1 oyster deal on Tuesdays and Thursdays so we finally gave it a try because that is such a good deal in this economy! Parking is easy since it is inside of a plaza. The vibes are chill and the workers were quick and efficient. You order your food sort of like dim sum style where they give you a piece of paper to fill out how many of each item you want, etc. Besides their $1 oysters, we got their chow mein, karaage, chicken heart skewers, and their pork belly skewers. Everything was decently good, but we just enjoyed the overall ambience over some yum snacks and good drinks. They were also playing old kpop music which was a plus! We will definitely be back! read more

One of the best deal on oysters in the Bay Area! Tuesday and Thursday $1 oysters, it can't get better than that. We came here on a Thursday and the vibe was chill, the ambiance here is trying to be a sports bar with 6 different big screens you can watch on, but it's also kinda quiet with Kpop running in the background. There are plenty of food options, ranging from raw oysters, variety skewers, even Gom tang soup (beef ribs soup) . Some of the best skewers i had. Highly recommend the beef tongue, wagyu and lamb chop. Oysters was cleaned well and the presentation was excellent. Service was great. We spent over $250 and they gave us an order of the chicken skin for free! That was a nice surprise! read more

Even though the Warriors are done for the season, it was still a fun night watching the game with fellow fans at Bar Bay Grill. Their daily happy hour never disappoints -- the garlic fries came out hot and crispy, the curry hot pot was comforting and flavorful, and the chicken karaage and chicken wings were both super satisfying. Good vibes, good food, and a great spot to catch a game. Service was good, need remind to get water refill from time to time. read more

Bar Bay Grill is a good place for food and drinks. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, they have $1 oysters! We had to settle for a restaurant nearby since our original plan changed. Thankfully this place closes pretty late so we decided to stop by. We got a few appetizers, skewers, oysters, pork belly and a soup. All the food was pretty delicious but standouts were the garlic fries and the oysters. The fries were super crispy and double coated. The oysters were super refreshing. Loved the sauces paired with the oysters. They also provided Tabasco sauce for those that like it classic. The skewers were pretty great as well. The meat was tender and grilled nicely. Would come back! read more

Great Food, Chill Vibe, and Friendly Service! Bar Bay Grill in Union City is such a hidden gem! I come here at least 2 times a week for 10 years. It has that perfect balance of a cozy neighborhood spot with a modern, clean feel. I love coming here on Fridays because it's usually packed. The curry chicken is a must! It's actually addicting. Grilled garlic butter oysters are flavor- packed. Stir-fried vermicelli, delicious and huge portion. The freshest oysters I've ever had . Garlic fries are garlicky and flavorful. Chicken Karage, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Their homemade aioli is made for the heavens. The chicken skin is ok. It is a bit too crispy for me. Service was also on point. The servers are always attentive, friendly, and check- in just enough without hovering. I remember one of our servers was named Phoebe. She was super- sweet. Whether you're meeting friends for drinks or grabbing a casual bite, even for a date , this place is definitely worth a visit. My only complaint is they don't open earlier for lunch anymore. I still highly recommend this place! Also if you bring your receipt over to the dessert boba shop next door , Caffe.in , you get 10% off your order. read more

Always a good time even when it's crazy busy at this place. Came here with some folks and wasn't too long of a wait to be seated. The servers are always hospitable and friendly. The food is yummy as usual. We had ribs, pork belly, wagyu beef, eggplant, chicken skin, chicken hearts, squid, cheese corn, bacon wrapped quail eggs, curry chicken toast, oysters and more. Oh, and a few or eight bottles of soju. We left fulfilled and satisfied as we should. read more

We went out for the oyster deal (1$ per oyster all day on fresh oysters tues. and thurs.) It was totally worth! The oysters were really good and a great size. I was honestly impressed and would come back for that. We also ordered some yakitori / skewers. I would say the meat skewers we probably could've split one between two people especially with how many different things we were trying. We got the wagyu skewer and pork belly, as well as shishito, quail egg in bacon, and the mushroom. Out of all of them the mushroom was my favorite which was surprising! Maybe following that is the quail egg skewer which was also delicious and chewy. Service was good, and our waiter was kind. The ambiance was good as well, with clean tables and TVs with sports... although the music was a bit funky at points. But we were vibing. Overall would recommend this place and will return ! read more

Bar Bay Grill - Raw Oyster with Thai Chili and Ponzu Sauce - Bars Near Me - Union City, California

Food For me, the yakitori here is at best okay- but everything else here is amazing! (So don't go here for only yakitori) The first thing we got and tried was the takoyaki- which was actually really good! Probably one of the better ones in the area. The 2nd menu item was the curry chicken toast, which was apparently really popular. I liked the chicken curry toast. A bit hard to eat as the bread is literally the platter and inside there's chicken. The toast was crispy but soft and warm in the inside. The yakitori was okay, I wouldn't mind eating it, but I'd probably go to a different place, I don't think it's one of the better ones out there in Bay Area. The chicken karage is really good but it's definitely not the best. I would order next time but not my favorites among the things they offer in this restaurant. The final thing we ate was the chicken skin which I was originally not going to add because it isn't on the menu. Apparently is a new item and they were trying it out, they gave it to us on the house, which was nice. It was hot when we first got it but quickly cooled down so if you like it hot, eat it fast! Service Well first I gotta mention the chicken skin they gave us. Thanks! 2nd, the service itself was bad, just nothing to mention that's significant. Food came decently fast, took about 10ish minutes. Ambiance Cool place! Relatively empty but it's a Saturday and we were here pretty early for dinner. TVs are pretty loud, they were turned off briefly and the place was silent lol. Sound was like average. Apologies for bad pictures read more

I would probably come back for this! - seafood boil: It was slightly salty for my taste, but it went well with the beer that we ordered! -grilled mussels: super yummy! It was cooked nicely with the mayo! -scallop skewers: this was probably my favorite. Cooked perfectly and not overdone. - eggplant- super simple and paired nice with the other heavier dishes! service: (5/5) The service was good.

First time trying Bar Bay after seeing the pictures on our way in to Caffe In next door. We called the day before and ordered their Malaysian Kum Heong crab and I've got some bad news...for crabs! It was delicious, spiciness just right. It had a curry flavor to go with garlic and chili, so many flavors. The server suggested the house special vermicelli that had shrimp and chicken and that was also great. Don't order the garlic edamame unless you like that garlic smell overwhelming the table. We happen to love that. Very friendly and welcoming service. Regrets: we did not have enough appetite to try everything on the menu. read more

Definitely love this place. Came here for a friend birthday and honestly the service was beyond on point !! The fact that they are so friendly and making sure we were able to celebrate our friend's bday was amazing. Their drinks was so tasty! We got the strawberry lychee and it was soooo good !!! Super clean and such a fun place to bring friends to after work out or out over the weekend! read more

Service was great, host was super friendly and great banter. Food overall was like 4/5. THAT CURRY bread was fire tho. Sometimes the meat is super chewy for their wagyu skewers and other times it's nice and fatty. They got a happy hour 9 for discount drinks. And also $1 oysters on tuesdays and thursdays. It's a great late night place to share drinks and eat. You also get a 10% at the milk tea place next door. read more

The location of this spot was a bit offbeat with not many other places nearby or they've closed down, but that didn't bother us much because parking was plentiful and it was easy to find. One thing that stood out was the ample seating area. Our table could easily accommodate 8-10 people, which was fantastic. It's definitely geared towards socializing and larger groups, unlike other bars where tables can only fit 2-4 people. The menu had a good variety, making it a great spot to gather with friends or catch a sports game. The staff were really friendly and managed our group arriving at different times throughout the night with ease. The food was okay--typical bar skewers and grilled items, nothing extraordinary, but it served its purpose for a quick barbecue fix. Although I'm not much of a drinker, I tried one of their flavored drinks and found it light and pleasantly sweet! read more

Our group was greeted with a smile the moment we entered into this restaurant. This was our first time and our server Calvin explained the menu and the ordering process. We selected most popular entrees. Let me start with Curry chicken toast: Chicken was so delicious, flavorful and tender with side curry sauce 10/10. Toast was soft from inside with slight crunch from outside. Chicken and Shrimp vermicelli was well liked by everyone in the group. It was not meant for sharing but we just couldn't resist. The side sauce is very spicy so go easy on putting it on the vermicelli and enjoy the actual flavors first. 10/10 My son liked shrimp with melted cheese although it was slightly hard for him to eat shelled shrimp but he didn't mind at all. Curry Ramen was very tasty too. We were offered four small bowls to share which was very much appreciated, 10/10. Both drinks ( Purple rain and Mango sake) were equally good. Charcoal grilled Wagyu beef skewers were 10/10 but chicken hearts were slightly over cooked I think. Phoebe was one of the servers too who was engaging and very attentive. Overall this is a must try restaurant with nice ambience, good food and great customer service. We will be spreading the word and sure will be back! read more

Not a great experience. When I walked in, the server was busy talking to a friend. He just stared at me and continued the conversation while I stood there waiting -- no greeting, no acknowledgment, nothing. The food was mediocre,but the service was the real issue. I came in on a Wednesday afternoon and was the only customer in the restaurant. Despite that, the server spent most of the time behind the bar on his phone. When I asked for chopsticks, he walked away and muttered "heard..." under his breath. What's his problem? The attitude was rude and completely unnecessary. read more

I love this place. The food is unique, bomb, and reasonably priced. I learned about it from the KQED show "Check Please, Bay Area" and it has been one of my favorites since I moved close to Union City five years ago.

My friend and I came here on a Tuesday for dinner, and it was pretty empty and the lighting is very dim inside, but the tables began to fill up as we waited for our food. And we sure waited. The food took a long time to come out just for it to be too tough to even eat - I had to toss out the entire lamb chop because I couldn't even chew it. The beef tongue and the wagyu beef was also overcooked and the only thing my friend and I really liked was the fries and the pork belly skewer. We ended up spending nearly $90 just to be hungry after. read more

One of my favorite places to watch Golden State Warriors games with friends (it can get loud during the game) but also has one of the best oyster deals in the Bay Area. Discovered this gem when they had a location in West San Jose before that one closed during the pandemic, so now will visit en route back down to South Bay after Cal games in Berkeley. This is just one of 2 places in South Bay & East Bay where I found oyster specials for $1. (If you know of more places, please LMK!) $1 Oyster Special: Tue/Thu 11:30am-11pm Happy Hour Deals: Mon-Fri 2-5pm - food specials Sun-Thu 9-11pm - drink specials Lots of grilled food items, great beers on tap and fun/interesting Asian-inspired cocktails with real tropical fruits. I met the owner once a few years ago and am pretty sure he's Taiwanese American. read more

I came with a group of friends for the $1 oysters! They have $1 oysters on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'd recommend calling before since it seems they change their oyster deal days from Yelp previous review dates. The inside was dimly lit and very casual. No wait to be seated. There was one server during my visit; he checked in regularly. The entrees and appetizers I tried were Tonkotsu Ramen, Malaysian Style Vermicelli Noodles, Chicken Gizzard Skewer, Chicken Skin Skewer, and Takoyaki. Since this is a fusion spot, all of the items were good but none were great. The bill was pretty expensive for what we ordered. I'd come back for the $1 oysters! read more

The strawberry lychee cocktail was very tasty. I really liked the curry toast too, the flavors were good. I wish I had more curry toast dip the bread in. I went on a Tuesday, so we had to get some of their $1 oysters, minimum order is 6. They were good. Of the skewers, I liked the gizzards, heart and pork belly the most. The lamb chop was a bit chewy, the beef and chicken skin were okay too. There are definitely some great items and some okay items. The music wasn't too loud so it was a good place to hang out and catch up. read more

We visited this restaurant on the 2nd of January so this review has been sitting on my draft for a whole month now. My boyfriend and I went here because no other restaurant was open late. I haven't eaten here in a while. It has been years now, and now I remember why. I don't know what it was but me and my boyfriend got sick after eating here. We ordered the following: Malaysian Chow Mein- My boyfriend enjoyed this dish. I think it was okay. Chicken Breast Skewer- This was not cooked when it got to our table, and honestly, I think this was what messed our stomachs up. Beef Wagyu Skewer- My boyfriend did not like this either. It was very tough. Samgyeopsal- This was an okay dish as well. Very good portion. Chicken Karaage was hard to eat since the pieces were very large. I'm glad that they are open late, but since there was something we ate that just didn't sit well with us, I don't see us coming back here anytime soon. read more

I would highly recommend checking it out. read more

This place was pretty good, but I walked out feeling very full and very unhealthy. It's a great place to go if you're just eating apps but I wouldn't recommend it for a full dinner. Each dish is very heavy and it really adds up. Baked oysters with special sauce: I really liked the sauce but didn't love the oysters themselves. Maybe I'm just not a huge oyster fan. One was pretty good but more than that was too much. Vermicelli: It was very oily, maybe in part because the noodles were so thin. I liked that there was shrimp and chicken. Spring rolls: Really great crunch and flavor. Liked the sweet and sour type sauce with it. Skewers: Really tender and perfectly cooked. Sandwich: I didn't try it but it looked a bit dry. Heavy pour for the wine though! read more

I saw Bar Bay Grill on "Check Please" and put it on my to try list. We arrived in the afternoon and it was happy hour. The oysters were $1 each so we had 1/2 a dozen. The 2 sauces it comes with is a sweet & sour and a Thai vinaigrette. It was definitely different and interesting. I came for the curry chicken toast which was featured on the TV show. The toasted bread was excellent, the curry was flavorful but the chicken was mushy and way over cooked. The curry only had the chicken and would have been better with some veggies. Skewers Beef tongue 3 stars Lamb chop 4 stars Corn 3 stars Chicken skins 1 star very stiff and hard to eat. Garlic fries were double fried and were excellent 5 stars The interior is like a sports bar with 6 TV's . Service was cold and robotic. The only server there was more like a proctor giving out exams. Minus stars. read more

This place is such a vibe! Tucked away in a shopping plaza, right next door to Happy Lemon, the parking is plentiful. That's always a big factor for me when ever I go anywhere. If it's not easy to get to, I'm not going. Would not suggest this as a first or even second date situation, but it's def the spot to go with your home boys, home girls, or as a long time couple since it's basically a sports bar that's loud AF. TVs are everywhere, playing every single sport, and they seem to have a decent bar in the back (I'm not a drinker so don't quote me). The food menus are pieces of paper on the table and each table has a pencil for you to mark off what you'd like to order. List the quantity next to each item you want, and a waiter will come by to confirm your order. They'll tape a printout of your order on your table and as they drop off each item, they'll check it off. Mini Hot Pot: 4/5 We went with the tom yum flavor and this hit the spot for us. It's basically Mama instant noodle (IYKYK) but jazzed up. There was a good amount of proteins in this as well as hella napa cabbage. I love napa cabbage so this was great! Adds so much sweetness to the broth. The soup was very sour but could have been a lot spicier. I didn't taste any spiciness at all :( I did ask for pepper but all they had was a knock off sriracha. It was more sweet than spicy so didn't really do much. This is mini size but big enough to share. If you weren't ordering anything else, might not be enough for 2 people though. Cheese Corn: 3/5 Compared to everything else, this was just okay. I would get this if you just really love cheese as the cheese crust on top was so thick and toasty! However underneath the cheese, the corn is fairly loose, and not really as creamy as I'd like. This one has bacon which adds an additional level of saltiness to the dish without being overwhelming however the corn isn't sweet enough to balance it. This definitely needs a bit more sugar and mayo to be a winner. Eat this right away otherwise the cheese gets hard and chewy and then it's even more meh than when it came out. Skewers: 4/5 I love the charcoal grill flavor of the skewers. The pork belly one had a thing slightly sweet glaze that paired so well with the smokiness of the charcoal. Had the perfect ratio of fat/lean meat. The spicy scallop skewer was my fav but it was not spicy at all.. Each scallop is bacon wrapped and super tender and juicy. The saltiness of the bacon paired with the sweetness of the scallop was chef's kiss. I also got a fish tofu skewer just cause I love love love fish tofu but it's pretty basic. You know what to expect. I did try a piece of chicken heart and gizzard but it's just not for me... I don't do organs and such but wanted to give it a shot in case it changed my mind. It didn't.. but personal preference. Each skewer order comes with 1 skewer, but # of pieces on the skewer vary. Malaysian Stir Fried Vermicelli: 5/5 This one was my favorite of the night. The noodles were cooked so well, and not greasy at all. The wok hei essence was thoroughly infused into this dish, which makes it all the more legit. There's a ton of protein too, so this could really be a meal all on its own. Was not expecting all this from a bar but daaamn do they have a winner here. I only wish they offered a spicy option, or at least some ground up chili peppers to add in after. Would have been a 10/5 if it was spicy! Even though it's a bar, I didn't feel pressured to order drinks. We didn't really get checked on and it did take a bit of effort to even get the check. I really love how quick they were about everything else though, like taking our order and bringing each dish out. We didn't have to wait a long time for each item to come out. I can see how the noise levels could be off putting for some, so if you're looking for a place to catch up, IDK if this is really the place for you. But if you just want some yummy eats, I'll see you there ;) read more

Yum! My bf and I have been on a yakitori kick so we decided to give this place a try given that they weren't too busy. The first time we came, it was empty for a Saturday evening which we were content with given that most yakitori places have long waits. This place is huge with a open space and lots of TVs. We ordered a good amount for two people and my favorite was the pork belly. The fried oysters were also delicious. Their garlic toast is a must as well. They also serve Korean sul-lung-tang which is interesting! Their yakitori is decent for the price and location, but they don't specialize in it in my opinion which is why I'm giving four stars since it isn't authentic. However, it is still delicious. Overall, this place is solid given that the food is consistent for both times we've gone. Service is nice and good, plus I like that they tell us exactly what is what when it comes out. The food comes out fresh and quickly as well. I'd come back because they have much more items on the menu besides yakitori which gives this place a nice fusion hang out spot for groups that want different things. Price is a bit high for it not being authentic, but I still enjoyed it! read more

We usually order for pickup but the few times we've eaten there, expect loud music, multiple TVs with a variety of sports or K-pop videos playing. The owner is nice and the service is decent. No complaints there. The Cajun shrimp is always good and so is the Seollongtang! read more
