    Garlic bread and salad
    Belinda T.

    I'm still not sure how I feel about this place. Loved the tea and corn soup bar. The soul was delicious. They had kids meals for 10.99 but my son only seemed interested in French fries so we ordered the regular popcorn chicken and fries for 13.99. The fries were.. crinkle cut and just ok. Mushy to me but my son ate them. We also got the pork blood cake. That was a little on the crispier side but was fine. We ordered the $34.99 special lobster steak special.. the lobster was great the steak however for a place called steaking could use some work. It was very pale and lacking flavor. The steak was less pink for medium than expected and not the fat cap wasn't rendered at all. Def needed more sauce.. or something for the steak. The noodles were good the garlic bread was okay. Nothing special to remember. We also got the lamb sizzling plate And husband seemed to enjoy that. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things. Or maybe I need to come for a weekday special.

    Cream Soup

    Steaking is located in a large plaza with many other eateries; therefore, that it is easy to find parking is no surprise. I visited with a few friends on the weekend, and the wait time was ~ 20 minutes. It's fairly small inside, so that's fair. Once sat, I made a dash for the complimentary cream soup, which is a childhood vice of mine. Unfortunately, I was left scraping the sides of the metal pot for remnants until they brought out the new pot. I was two bowls in, but I had only caved to hunger and an addiction to be snacking on something. The soup was a bit bland and sour, almost like airplane food. :/ There were also complimentary tea, but these were easy to pass on. For our meal, we had a pork steak and egg, which came with garlic toast and also a beef teppanyaki. The pork steak was way overcooked and tough, not the most fun dish to be chewing on. The beef itself was heavily marinated and way too sweet and salty to enjoy. Overall, eating here felt like a chore, and the best part was... finishing dinner since we didn't want to waste food.

    I ordered medium rare and got blue rare. It's a thin cut too on a skillet. I shouldn't have to send it back. Really?

    Please learn how to cook your steaks. I ordered a ribeye medium rare and it came blue rare. A medium rare is anywhere from 130-140 degrees Fahrenheit. My personal preference is 137 but I'd gladly take anything between 130-140. The ribeye was also a thin cut which is generally easier to cook to the temperature of your choice. So I'm not sure why they fumbled it so bad. Service was great, employees are very nice, place was clean, I like the self service tea and soup they had, but the steak was too damn rare to rate it anything above a 2. They also serve it on a sizzle platter and it was still hella rare by the time the sizzle platter ran outta heat. For a place that calls themselves Steak King, or "Steaking", I would've expected better end results and better consistency. If they fix this issue I'd say this place is a 3-4 star spot. I'd like to come back, but have a conversation with your back of house staff on steak temperatures, first.

    Saw Steaking while grabbing food next door and made a mental note to pick up take out later that day after shopping around the plazas. Ordering was quick and easy online right when they reopened at 5pm. Picked up 2 popcorn chicken bentos, fried tofu, and sesame balls with red bean filling (about $50 before tax and tip) and it was ready within 10 minutes. Service was nonexistent when I got there- no acknowledgment and the first girl behind the counter didn't even talk to me. The second girl next to her was eating something and came over to ask for my name before handing me my bag and then walking away. Unfortunately the food was very underwhelming and bland. The popcorn chicken was quite dry and the side dishes were lacking in flavor. The sesame balls were tiny and the red bean filling was minimal. The best item was the fried tofu but it wasn't anything special. Not a huge fan after this one and only experience.

    We came in on a Sunday afternoon, and got seated quickly. For three people we ordered the ribeye cooked to medium and the bone broth hot pot with vermicelli. Also added a side of popcorn chicken. They had a self serve of teas and corn soup. Soup was tasty, the star was the ribeye, a pretty good quality cut paired with the mixed sauce ( mushroom and black pepper). Spaghetti was perfectly al dente. Hot pot was standard and pretty good as well. Popcorn chicken was crispy and well seasoned, maybe could have gone just a smidge lighter on the seasoning. Staff were busy, don't expect check ins. A casual interior, it was on the warmer side and the doors were open, it didn't seem like there was any AC. Otherwise a pretty nice portioned place paired with quality and price, would recommend.

    Seated promptly, the qR app didn't work properly and server helped us to order immediately. The place overall is clean and well lit but felt kinda greasy I guess due to sizzling iron and oil bouncing around. Love the owner printed his storyline on the wall. Food: 10/10 Rib eye - the steak was placed on top of the spaghetti so it won't continue to cook. Pepper sauce is not too spicy, just right. 5/10 beef on sizzling plate mild but actually kinda spicy, braised pork over rice was mediocre. 10/10 popcorn chicken - crispy juicy and tasty. 8/10 bread and soup - you have to pay extra as add on. 7/10 - Korean kimchi pot - tasted fair but nothing special, ingredients on lower end side. Will come back just for steaks and popcorn chicken for sure, soup and bread depends on how hungry we will be.

    A couple of friends and I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a reservation. Steaking is located in the Pacific Commons Shopping Center, so definitely plan extra time for parking. The food was pretty tasty, but it's not quite as the iron steak we'd get in Taiwan. The flavor just tastes different, and so is the corn soup. The service was pretty decent though, as the food came relatively fast after we've placed the order.

    Ribeye and popcorn chicken
    Sunny W.

    Tried Steaking in Fremont recently and overall had a good experience. The ribeye (med rare) was a good size and cooked well; the mushroom + black pepper sauce combo worked nicely. I found the sauce to be pretty dam tasty, get it on the side and use it as a dip. The noodles on the side were pretty bland, nothing memorable. I did like how it came with a fried egg, corn, and broccoli. It also came with a salad which was like 2 bites and a piece of garlic bread. Priced around $27 for the meal which I found fair considering how much you're getting. Popcorn chicken was a standout and winner in my book. Crispy, juicy, and well seasoned. You can add additional salt/pepper and chili powder yourself, it's located next to the drinks. The beef hot pot unfortunately was a miss. It lacked flavor and there wasn't much in it for the price. A hot pot dipping sauce would have helped; I either missed it or they didn't have any. Stick to Tasty Pot/Boiling Point if you're craving hot pot and just order the sizzling hot plates here until they improve it. I did like that they offer free green and black tea and the self-serve setup is actually something I prefer. Service was decent, nothing amazing but no complaints either. Overall, a solid spot if you're in the area, but probably not somewhere I'd go out of my way for unless you're craving a sizzling plate with black pepper/mushroom sauce. I do appreciate the owner's effort to connect with the community and continuously improve the restaurant. I would come back and I wish them the best of luck!

    I've came to Steaking a few more times after my first review. I don't know what has changed, but the experiences after the first visit has just gone downhill. Service wasn't great, staff were not really friendly or welcoming. One of the times the steaks that were ordered to be medium were pretty much raw - like difficult to cut raw. One other time the cut of the boneless short rib has a big part of fat on it. Also, the upgraded soup with puff pastry had extra shrimp & imitation crab inside, which was nice, but somehow the soup tasted a bit sour. They posted on their Instagram 3 days ago that they're officially starting this special event when you check out - if you participate in tossing the crescent shape wooden blocks and get a "holy cap", you can get different items/discount. However, when we asked the staff, they said "oh we are not doing that". Okay. I want to support local businesses, especially a Taiwanese owned business, but for the price & service...I will unfortunately hesitate to return in the future.

    Puff pastry soup ($6)
    Sophie C.

    This place hits the spot when you're craving Taiwanese style steak. I've gotten the new york and the boneless short rib sizzling plate and enjoyed both; it really just comes down to your preferred cut. They were accurate with the cook times and it came out a true medium rare. The meat doesn't sit directly on the sizzling plate so it doesn't cook much more. I suggest getting the mushroom and black pepper sauces combo on the side for more sauce. As part of your meal, there is also unlimited tea, soup, and garlic bread. You can get extra noodles without any surcharge. I also got the puff pastry soup and this will likely be a one time order. While the pastry is nice, the soup is essentially the free corn soup with 2 pieces of shrimp and a piece of imitation crab added. They also have teppanyaki, hot pot, and bento options, but I've not tried.

    My husband has been on a pepper sauce hunt for a while and has been tying to the find the best ones in our area. This one popped up as a potential so decided to check it out. They do have a big selection of different steaks, chicken, pork, and seafood. That works out for those that don't eat meat or has to eat seafood because of lent. We opted to share a Ribeye Steak which is advertised for $27.49. That's ok considering it comes with: -a drink (either black sweetened tea, or green unsweetened tea) which you get yourself -salad (this was really really tiny) -garlic bread (this was a smidge of garlic butter on a toasted white bread) -soup of the day (THIS WAS MISSING, WE HAD NO SOUP) fail... The hot plate came out hot, sizzling ribeye on top of the spaghetti, with one egg, some broccoli and some baby corn. We poured the pepper sauce on top of the plate and watched it cook. The taste of the sauce went well with steak which was pretty tender. We also ordered the Taiwanese spicy hot pot (medium spicy) which was $22.99, so I can try it. But dammmmm it was so spicy! I couldn't eat it. My husband didn't like it either. He said there wasn't enough toppings for the price he paid and the spice was slight overkill. The prices seem higher than other places that serve these dishes. I suspect location and rent is higher so therefore prices of the dishes are also higher. Service was not good either. No one checked on us after they served us which is why they probably forgot our soup.

    Taiwanese Spicy Mini Pot ($21.99)

    We came here for the Wednesday BOGO free teppanyaki and tried a few extra items as it was our first time. The teppanyaki here is solid, my favorite one being the duck breast one. So juicy and the mushroom sauce was flavorful. I will say it was in the expensive side. Even the king oyster mushroom teppanyaki was flavorful. However, the taiwanese spicy pot I got was wayyy too salty. I almost couldn't finish because of how salty it was. Weekday lunch they also have all you can drink soup and tea. The service was very friendly and fast, especially considering they were packed! Place itself is casual and a bit tight, but nothing terrible.

    Ribeye Steak, Spicy Taiwanese Hot Pot
    Alisa B.

    The popcorn chicken here is really good, so I'm giving them an extra star just for that. Perfect texture and seasoned just right! Loved the crispy basil too. I'd come back just for the popcorn chicken haha Steaking is definitely known for their steak skillets with pasta, sauces, and veggies. I ordered the ribeye, which was HUGE! Pretty good quality in terms of marbling and fattiness. The mushroom sauce was an interesting addition, not so much umami - but definitely sweet with tomato vibes. The baby corn and broccoli was fine, but the pasta was reminding me of Jollibee at one point... but overall an amusing and unique approach to a ribeye steak! Casual and fun! We also tried out their hot pot options, and we went for the Taiwanese Spicy Soup. The broth was very flavorful and the portions were okay. Lamb was thinly sliced and fatty. Lots of veggies and tofu varieties. Overall... this was decent, but not a must try!

We'd been to Milk & Honey a few times for their prepared bento takeout, but this was our first time dining in. We ordered the salt & pepper mushrooms, stir-fried string beans, garlic eggplant, Sichuan chicken, minced pork over rice, a combo noodle dish, and of course, the fermented stinky tofu. Everything was delicious and when you can satisfy a craving...everything just hits different What really made the meal memorable though, was the hospitality. The owner was incredibly warm and attentive, checking in on every table throughout the evening. At one point, she noticed our minced pork rice looked a little light on the gravy (something we hadn't even noticed ourselves). Without us saying a word, she headed back to the kitchen and returned with an extra serving of the pork topping to make sure it was just right. As the dinner rush slowed, she spent time chatting with us about our recent trip to Taiwan, sharing stories about Taiwanese food and what makes the cuisine so special. By the end of the meal, it didn't feel like we were dining at a restaurant--it felt like we were having dinner at an auntie's house, enjoying great food and even better conversation. Great food is easy to appreciate. Genuine hospitality is much harder to find. Milk & Honey gave us both, and we'll definitely be back (and look forward to dine in more often)

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.

Most of the staff were in the kitchen and only one lady worked the front, taking care of the ones lined up for the steamed buns and table service.

    I love Taiwanese food, and this restaurant is pretty good. I always love Taiwanese ground pork rice…read moreso that was great. The tofu went pretty hard as well. I expected a dissent kind of Taiwanese sausage but that's on me for not knowing the menu. Service was good. There was plenty of space on a weekday night. The decor is nice, maybe a bit darker than I expected (dark feels like a fancy restaurant), but there were fun decorations. Were some boxes on a table but I didn't mind.

    Food is okay, but very rude service. There's nothing wrong…read moreabout the food, but no highlight either. I like the sauce more than pork feet itself. However, I experienced very rude service. A waiter told me they don't take credit cards when I was trying to pay. I was like, okay, maybe I should have done more research before I went there. So I tried to talk to him to see if there's any other options, like Zelle or Venmo, or maybe I can go to a nearby ATM and get some cash. He ignored me and did not respond, and left. I walked around, was finally able to get a waitress who was willing to talk to me. I explained that I didn't know they only took cash and I wonder if I can pay through other ways. She pointed at the wall and told me "it says on the wall", sounding like blaming me for not getting cash ready. Yes, maybe I should have read all the signs on the wall, but I really don't enjoy being blamed when I did nothing wrong. Assuming credit cards as one of the payment methods is not my fault, just how the society works. Anyway, I was able to pay them via Venmo, but I did not enjoy the experience at all.

    This is my first time at Bing's and it seems like from reviews, there's been a change in ownership…read moreand quality of food. 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

    I remember coming to Bing's Dumpling a long time ago when XLB and Pan Fried Buns, was just coming…read moreout to the Bay Area. It's good to revisit them again, though it sounds like they are under new management from when I first came here. New & modern tables and flooring. The restaurant is still surrounded by windows so on sunny days you can enjoy the natural light but they do have pull down shades to provide shade from it as well. Braised Beef Noodle Soup - tender medium-sized noodles to easily slurp up. The braised beef was stewed well and little bits of tendon and crunchy flank. Pork Shrimp Won Ton Soup - We ended up getting served WT Noodle Soup, which my wife did not want. After flagging down our server we explained that we marked down Won Ton Soup with no noodles. Luckily, they verified with the menu we had marked up. They quickly corrected the order. That shows great customer service. The service was friendly, courteous, and attentive. I'll be back.
