We often visit Mel's Diner in Fremont when we're servicing our cars, and it's always a fun little…read morestep back in time. Given the recent storms hitting the Fremont area nonstop, we figured we'd support this local mom-and-pop spot for lunch this weekend. We walked in and were quickly seated at a booth near the kitchen window and the lunch counter stools. The greeting was prompt, and drink orders were taken--iced tea and Coke Zero. Yep, this little diner is proudly a Coke Zero establishment. Classic! I usually get the club sandwich, but this time I took a moment to consider if I should branch out. But, I ended up sticking with my original choice. I went for the club with tots, crispy of course. My husband opted for the Big Bopper Burger and crinkle fries. While we waited for our food, we chatted, checked our phones, and had a little people-watching session. One memorable moment was watching a toddler trying to feed boogers to a teenager. Classic diner experience! I couldn't help but overhear the servers gossiping at the lunch counter while rolling silverware, occasionally letting out a few choice words. I'm not one to judge, but it is a business, and I can't help but wonder if that might bother other customers. On top of that, I overheard them questioning whether a to-go order looked right before boxing it up. Makes you wonder... After what felt like an eternity, our food finally arrived. My tots were supposed to be crispy, but they were more like soggy, sad little bites of disappointment. I could tell they'd been fried crispy and sat around too long. The club sandwich was good, as always, though I wish the toast had been a little crispier. I get it, though; that happens when a sandwich sits in the window for a bit. My husband didn't have complaints about his burger, but there was one odd thing. The fries on his plate were barely there. He had just a scattering of a few cold ones. The server then mentioned they were making him a fresh order of fries, which left me wondering: did he get leftover fries from a previous order, or whatever was left in the fry basket? It seemed a bit off. He said the fries on his plate were cold, so I guess the mystery of leftover fries remains unsolved. Unfortunately, this was the most disappointing meal we've ever had at Mel's. I'm not sure I'll be in a hurry to return next time I'm in the area. It's still a cute spot with a lot of potential, but it fell short this time.

I don't understand the 4-5 star ratings. I ordered a cheeseburger, figured that a Diner…read morecheeseburger would either be thick and juicy or smashed (my favorite).. It was neither, it was a dried out, pale, tasteless, frozen patty. I only ate it because I was starving. Then the waitress "accidently" brought a Coke instead of water, asked if I wanted it anyway so she didn't have to throw it out, so I took it. She said I would not be charged, I WAS charged. We got there are 11:15 a.m., not many customers inside, still took more than 30 minutes to receive our food. Too bad my husband didn't read our bill before paying, never again will I visit this place.

I was sadly disappointed by both the sauce and the fries, as the sauce had changed and lost its delicious aioli flavor. The fries were extremely underwhelming. I ordered the French dip sandwich, which was alright but probably not something I would order again. I got a side of the tomato soup, and it was so salty I couldn't even eat it. Our server was alright, but not the most attentive. However, I could tell she had multiple tables, so I didn't mind. Very disappointing for nearly $30 spent.

We stopped in on a weeknight around 5pm and there were a few other groups dining. There are about 15 tables, but we have never waited for a table when we've visited. We got the shrimp in a blanket for an appetizer and it was warm and crunchy. Served with a sweet dipping sauce for that sweet and savory combo. For my entree I had Guae Thyeo Haing at spice level 4. The waitress explained it was more of a sweet and sour dish. I was apprehensive as I tend to enjoy more savory, but after she explained everything I was excited to try something new. I loved it! I've ordered three different entrees here and all of them have been incredible. I always sample my partner's food as well, and I'm starting to think you can't order wrong. Seriously, it's that good! The server is so sweet and they are a small family owned business! They offer an array of flavors and spice, so don't shy away from trying something new.

We got there at 9:50 and we left around 11:30. Just standing in line. They are carry out only. Having said that everything I got (and I "had" to order most of the vegan choices to justify standing in line for so long. Ha!) was/is amazing! We got the pizza roll (sooo good!), raspberry donuts, chai sugar cookies, chocolate chip espresso muffins, blueberry raspberry buns and mushroom soup. I have sampled most of everything so far and it is all delicious. Definitely worth the wait! Cool eclectic decorating and punk rock music. Friendly staff.

The staff was great, they sat us in a corner so not to bother anyone with our little guest joining us @ 4 mo old, they were helpful, warm courteous, and prompt. The dumplings came out rather quickly, and plates came roughly around the same time. The food was hot, very good, and authentic. Our soup dumplings were some of the best I've had in a long while, the sesame balls were scrumptious and I recommend both! The crab rangoon was incredibly fresh, the shells were still crunchy the next day after sitting in the fridge. While not normally a fan of them, these were delish, definite recommendation. The interior was bustling! Different types from all walks here for scrumptious dumplings. It was pretty busy for a Saturday night, most tables were filled. Very clean place. Reasonably priced, warm staff, amazing soup dumplings, and good location!
