    Food spread

    Finally came back after about a year. Definitely should've came back sooner! They made a couple of changes, I believe the buffet is now only on the weekends. One thing that hasn't changed is the friendly staff. Things were a little slow in the beginning because there was only 1 server for the whole restaurant (maybe only 4-5 parties but 1 was a big party). However, midway through, the server had more help and things were picking up. I forgot to mention in my other review that the restaurant is quite small and holds up to 62. But the place is still so beautifully decorated and cute. They even had live music on Friday night. The food was overall delicious. I highly recommend the squid ink pansit if it's available! Very good flavors and the pansit is not too wet. Other highlights were the beef pares and tuna/grilled pork belly kilawin.

    LENT 2026: SIXTH FRIDAY - FRIED BANGUS CON ENSALADA On the last Friday of March I came here for lunch. Using my GPS I had difficulty finding this place. After parking I went around the building and entered a hallway. I was then able to find Timog. During this Lent season Timog was one of the places I wanted to eat on Fridays. The reason is the fried bangus with salad. One thing I noticed in Filipino cuisines fried fish are sometimes served with a salad, which consists chopped tomatoes and onions. The one ingredient that was unique with this salad includes cucumber. I asked my server if I should get the steamed rice or garlic rice with the fried bangus. My server recommended garlic rice. At Timog the meat of the bangus is moist. Most of the bangus I've eaten at Filipino eateries tend to be dry and jerky. Having the meat of the bangus moists is a good sign. Another exceptional quality of the bangus at Timog is the crispy skin. I love crispy skin on a fish whether the fish is grilled or deep-fried. Of course you can't have bangus without the fatty belly, which I was happy to eat. At Timgo there is one negative about the bangus it was bland. I didn't taste any salt or seasoning on the bangus. The garlic rice added flavor to the bangus. I did like the salad on top of the bangus. I'm glad I came to Timog during Lent Friday to eat the fried bangus with salad.

    Timog is a beautiful Filipino restaurant located inside Lion Market. The menu is easy to order from, and the food was authentic and delicious! Dishes were a good size so that we had leftovers to take home. Caleb, our solo server, took great care of us. I'd go again to try the buffet only on Sundays.

    Located in a predominantly Asian shopping plaza, catering to mostly Chinese and Vietnamese. Timog adds an element of diversity to the area. The ambiance is simple but inviting. The staff are friendly and attentive. The variety of dishes are flavorful and very comparable to authentic home-cooked styles The dessert menu is outstanding, offering a great variety of sweet treats to end your meal on a high note!

    Adobo (chicken & pork w egg)

    Filipino food with a modern twist! This spot is located inside the Lion Market Shopping Center, and growing up in the area, I never even knew! It was a nice hidden discovery, and the inside surprised me even more. I looooved the decor!  Food was delicious and very flavorful, reminding me of home cooking. I will be honest, my adobo was a little oilier than I was used to, but maybe I just have a weak stomach lol. I definitely want to come back to try their other dishes though, it was hard not to order everything on the menu during our visit haha.  They also have an AYCE Brunch Buffet on Sundays from 11am-3pm and Live Music on Friday/Saturday nights (think laid back, acoustic vibes) What we ordered: * Adobo (Pork & Chicken w/ Egg) * BBQ Pork * Pares ni Enteng * Garlic Rice * Tamarindo Tango

    Went on a Sunday night at 6 with my boyfriend and there was inly one other party. We were and seated served qucikly all by one server. The ambiance is very aesthetic and inviting. The lighting is not too bright. We ordered the lechon kawali and it was warm and skin was crunchy. It was served with a mix of meat and fat. The pork sisig was just average, nothing too special in my opinion. We want to go back to go back to try their Sunday lunch buffet.

    Food here was delicious. Customer service was fast and helpful when I had questions while ordering. Their halo halo is good for 2-3 people. Decor and ambiance is nice as well. I will definitely come back and try the palabok.

    Bangus sisig
    Cheryl E.

    Came in on a Friday night and there was live music. We were greeted and seated fairly quickly. I wish I could give this place more stars. Maybe I just had high hopes for their unique menu items. For 3 items and a side of rice our total was roughly $90. We got the karekare, palabok, and bangus sisig. The karekare was a large crispy patta pork hock that had the sauce poured over it when they brought it to the table. The flavor was bland, and I felt like it needed salt. I did however enjoy the crispiness of the pork. But the sauce just didn't cut it for me. The palabok also had the same aesthetic. They deep fried the noodles to make it crispy and pour the sauce over top and mix everything for you table side. Again the flavor there was also lacking, not sure if it needed more anatto or tinapa flavor, but it fell short for me as well. The dish that I did thoroughly enjoy was the bangus sisig. Perfect amount of salt, tang, and creaminess. It was missing jalapeños for me, but since the rest of the flavor was there, I over looked it. I'd definitely order this again.

    The restaurant is located inside an Asian grocery complex. We've always been curious about the hype, especially since we often see it featured on reels. As a Filipina who loves to eat and takes pride in Filipino cuisine, I have to be honest -- I found the experience a bit underwhelming. Of all the dishes we tried, the palabok stood out as our favorite and would be the only reason we'd consider coming back. Unfortunately, everything else we ordered felt subpar and lacked that "wow" factor, especially considering the price point. The quality just didn't match the cost. What really threw me off was the wait time. While a 30-40 minute wait would've been understandable, we ended up waiting nearly an hour after placing our order, which was definitely a letdown. Would I come back? Yes, but mostly for the palabok. Is it a place I'll crave or go out of my way to revisit? Honestly, probably not. Place is clean and nicely decorated for sure; bathrooms were spotless.

    Wow, another filipino restaurant here at the east bay/tri city area. Timog is located inside Lion supermarket In Cedar ave in Newark. It is kinda newish resto with a relaxing modern filipino ambience. Area size is okay and not so big. We did walked in today and ordered some Crispy Palabok,Lumpiang gulay and buko loco Neil our server is amazing with excellent customer service

    First time trying this spot. The ambiance is amazing. I love the decor and mural wall. The staff are very accommodating and friendly. We were fortunate to meet the owner they are very nice and even gave us suggestions on what foods to try. We tried the crispy tofu sisig and it was delicious! I love how the crispy palabok was so creamy. I can't wait to come back and try their buffet on Sundays.

    Amazing Filipino dishes-this was my first time eating here and it definitely delivered. The interior is clean, welcoming, and has a really dope vibe. I got the Bicol express and my girl got the pork Sisig both were great. Also ordered the Crispy Palabok on the side to share and it didn't disappoint. Everything is made fresh and not oily at all. Our server, Caleb, was on point-super knowledgeable, well-spoken, and friendly, and he represented the spot perfectly. If you're looking for clean, flavorful Pinoy food, don't sleep

    This place was featured on IG so we decided to try it. The place is decorated nice and clean. Their sign outside threw us off. It took is a little while to figure out where they are. They could post the sign in a more visible area. We were greeted by a nice waitress and seated us quickly! They have a good variety of filipino food selection. We ordered daing na bangus and crispy palabok which were both good! They also have a buffet on the weekends. The place was not busy but our food took a long time to come out. I will come back and see if service has improved!

    Do you offer catering services?

    Yes we can depending on the location.

    As of today 12/26/25, do they continue to offer weekend buffets? I don’t see the info on the website.

    Yes only on Sundays, 11am-3pm. Reservations are only from 11am-1130am then walk-ins only thereafter.

    Hi there, how do we make Reservations on line?

    Hi, I think you can just call them to make a reservation. I do not think they have a system set up for online reservations. I hope this helps.

    Is there buffet on weekdays? If so, how much?

    Buffet brunch is only on weekends, 11am - 3pm.

    Do u take reservations on the weekend?

    Yes we do. However during. Buffet hours we only take reservations between 11am to 1130am. It’s all walk in after that period.

    Hi. Is there msg in the food? Thank you.

    We do not put msg or magic sarap on any of our dishes.

    Is the buffet option still available today?

    Buffet is only served on the Saturdays and Sundays, 11am-3pm.

It had been about a year since I last visited, and I was glad to see that prices hadn't changed at all. The highlight here for me has always been their lumpia--or at least, it used to be. It was once fried to golden perfection, with just the right amount of loose wrapper that gave extra-crispy edges (if you know, you know). Looking back at older photos, the lumpia had a noticeably deeper golden-brown hue compared to the lighter version I received this time, as well as seemed a bit longer in size. This made me sad; but it was still good, just no longer exceptional. In addition, the broasted chicken has always been just decent; the skin is great but the meat on the inside is always a bit dry and definitely requires some gravy or sauce to dip it in. Despite the lumpia switch-up, prices are still unbeatable for the bay, so I'd come back. I did notice that they seemed to have a new cook in the back, so here's to hoping that next time, the lumpia reverts back to the way it was!

    Final Thoughts: 4.50/5…read more It's not often that I'm in the Fremont area, but I was today, so I decided to take advantage of that and go out for a dinner with my friend after work. After some filtering and choosing, we decided on Korean food. Truly always my go-to choice. The food here really did not disappoint and hit the spot after a long day. Overall, will be a 5 star from me. Food: Spicy Braised Beef Short Rib + Cheese and Rice Cakes: 4.5/5 This was their beef short rib with onion and potato. We always get it with the rice cake and cheese on top because those are truly a must for this dish. The braised beef short ribs are super tender and you could cut though it with a spoon. Their meats are nicely marinated into the sauce and super tender. The sauce is really the star of this dish and they seasoned it really well. There's some kick to it, sweet, salty, and umami. I would eat this sauce alone with rice or noodles if I had the choice. The rice cakes are a little too soft for me and I would have preferred for it to have more of a bite. Again, not really complaining because the sauce made up for it. For the cheese, it's mostly just piled on top of the dish. They're not like other places where they torch the cheese to melt it for us. We just mixed it into the sauce and it melted all the way through for that cheese pull. There's no smokiness, but not a big concern for me. It melted well into the sauce and made it taste amazing though. Fried Chicken (8 Pieces) - Soy Garlic + Hot and Sweet Sauce: 4.3/5 This was more of our side dish/appetizer dish. The sauce is a little too salty for my taste, but honestly, I wasn't really complaining. Something I do like is the consistency of it. It's like this sticky sauce that coats the crispy coating of the chicken well. This dipped into the spicy braised short rib sauce was such an amazing combination too. My preference was the soy garlic. The flavor is just so classic. Hot and sweet is good too. There is a good kick to it and a nice balance of flavors overall. When the chicken came out, it was piping hot. Very juicy and I could feel that when I tried to take a bite out of it. Crispy on the outside and nicely cooked all the way through. Banchan: Good variety They provide kelp noodle salad, kimchi, edamame, mashed tofu, Korean yellow pickled radish, and fish cakes. I actually liked all of these expect for the kimchi. I have a specific preference for kimchi, so definitely just a preference in taste kind of a thing. Lovely textures for all of them. The tofu confused us initially, but it's very good protein for me and I'm not complaining about my foods being mechanically altered. --------- Quality: Made to order Their meats seem to be of optimal quality. That or the cut is just really good and they've been braising it for hours now. Super tender and will just come off the bones. The meats are cut into pretty large pieces, so I would cut it into about four pieces. This was doable with a spoon, which says a lot. Of note, we could hear the fryer sound in the back. Crossing fingers that was to freshy fry our chicken. Items also came out piping hot, which is just how I like it. The short ribs was inside of a stone pot and it was just boiling and bubbling away. Always a plus to see. Price: Typical Bay Area Prices The price ranges will depend on what you get. For the two items that we got today, it was around $60. Seems fair for the portion sizes provided. We also had leftovers to bring home. Again, the prices will range from about $15 to $25. Typical Bay Area prices. Service: Fairly Fast My friend and I were actually the only two people there. Honestly, I'm not complaining for us. I'm actually not sure why they're not more popular because their food was made really well for us. Side note, but if I had it my way, I would probably inhale the remainder that we took home with us. Their food was made to order because we did hear the food being cooked. They did come out with the food fairly quickly. Service was alright and they were quite nice about everything. Ambiance: Late Night Eats Vibes This place really gives me the late night eat vibes. They do sell the items that I see in the Korean dramas where they would go out for a drink and some food. They do have nice options for dinner though. Of note, they do stay open quite late, which I am totally here for. Interior is spacious and their music choice is straight from my playlist, which I really like. Location/Parking: Long Plaza This place is a little farther for me, but I still like exploring around as some food places are worth driving a little farther for. This place is on Cedar Blvd and its quite a long plaza. There's like multiple connections in this plaza along with their entrances. They do have some other shops and restaurants here too. Parking didn't seem to be an issue for me at all. They seem to have enough spaces around for this scale of an area.

So glad you are part of the Fremont Community.

    Super cute and unique brunch spot! It's right next to the Amtrak train tracks and has a cute…read moreold-timey vibe. The owners are extremely friendly and welcoming. Indoor and outdoor seating both available. Came by for a Saturday lunch and they said the food will take ~45 mins. They were very grateful for our patience and even threw in a plate of sweet pork longanisa on the house for the wait! We shared the pork adobo island d-lite and the Hawaiian char siu chicken burrito. I really enjoyed the pork adobo, it had melt in mouth texture and great flavorful and went really well with the garlic rice. The Hawaiian char siu chicken burrito was good too but I liked the pork adobo plate more. The service was wonderful and they really make you feel at home. Very kind folks, definitely come support them!

The bangus is tasty too, though it can be a bit dry on some days. I've also tried the grilled squid, fried calamari, beef sinigang, pork BBQ skewers, and halo-halo, and everything's been solid. My go-to orders are the pork sisig, crispy pata, and garlic rice. Ambience and space are great, service is decent, and wait time is reasonable. Definitely coming back.

    Whenever we go to Trader Joe's, one of our lunch optins is Tai Pan BBQ Express Dim Sum. Why? Cause…read moreit's fast and filling. This time round we decided to get bbq pork and roasted pork over fried rice. It comes with garlic sauteed cabbage which it will kill be a little due to the chopped garlic but i'll sacrifice myself on occasions. The BBQ pork and roasted pork were delicious and moist. It can be hit or miss and today was a hit. The fried rice was ok but I think I prefer steamed rice with this combo just due to the oily/fatty content can be too much and steamed rice is a nice complement to it. Service is relatively quick when they're not packed with people. Inside is still just a to-go spot. No place to sit. It's really a grab and go place. We'll always treat ourselves with this place and their siu mai is super gigantic and juicy. Definitely one of our go-to spots in Fremont.

Most of the items were already sold out, and they were not planning to make more. I just wanted one order of bean curd, which is three pieces for $5.80. However, they only had two pieces left, so they told me I had to choose one piece of another item to make it a "full order." I picked a stuffed green pepper, which normally costs $7.40 for three pieces. They then charged me $2.75 for that single piece, saying I didn't order a full order. They also charged me $4.50 for the two pieces of bean curd, again because it wasn't a full order. Why is it my fault that they ran out of items? $7.40 ÷ 3 = $2.47 (but they charged me $2.75) $5.80 ÷ 3 = $1.93 (but they charged me $4.50 for two pieces) This feels very dishonest.

    LENT 2025: THIRD FRIDAY…read more The previous Friday I ate at a Filipino restaurant for lunch with mixed results. I ordered a crab fried rice, which didn't have crab at all. I was planning to go San Leandro for lunch this past Friday for bangsilog. When I was driving to San Leandro, Highway 880 was so busy due to traffic I decided to come to Adobolicious at the last minute. With the name of the restaurant you might not think this restaurant serves seafood or fish. I looked at photos and noticed seafood dishes like bangsilog. When I came Adobolicious at the last minute I wasn't setting great expectations. I was thinking about getting appetizers, but I decided just to order bangsilog. A deboned bangus in my opinion the only way to eat that fish because there are so many little bones that are inedible. However most of fried, deboned bangus I ate tend to be jerky. The fried bangus I ate at Adobolicious was better than I expected. The meat was moist. The reason was the bangus as stated on the menu is marinated. Even though the breading was light the breading was crispy. Most of all there wasn't a jerky texture from the bangus at Adobolicious as compared to other bangus I ate from other places. If I had to be nitpicky is there are scales on the bangus. I guess that is a traditional preference to make the skin crispy, but I believe the skin of the bangus could maintain its crispiness with the breading. One note about Adobolicious is credit card or debit card isn't accepted for payments. This restaurant accepts cash or Venmo. I know the bangus I ate at Adobolicious isn't the best I ever had however it is better than most bangus I ate at other restaurants.

Other than the plain rice being quite al dente, this place is quite good. Their lumpia Shanghai were really good. Their champorado was ok. The arrozcaldo was quite good. I had the tapsilog and the tapa was just amazing and the garlic fried rice was quite garlicky and lovely. We also had the tosilog and the tosino was really very good and not very sweet. The bistec and bicol express were just amazing. While we did not get to experience the service or ambience of the restaurant yet, this will be on our rotation and we will write more after that experience. Definitely great food.
