Fremont Food Hall — Restaurant in Fremont

Fremont Foodhall offers a good variety of bites, from coffee (both iced and hot) to rice dogs, wings, and a small range of mochi donuts for dessert. The venue itself is bright, clean, and has a fresh, new feel which creates a nice first impression.

I ordered a few items to get a well-rounded sense of the menu. The garlic wings and garlic fries were fine but a bit underwhelming. Both lacked the bold garlic flavor I was hoping for; the fries, although nicely sized, could have used a better shake to spread the seasoning more evenly. It felt like just a sprinkle of garlic on top rather than a consistent flavor throughout.

The rice dogs were a highlight, with generous sizes and tasty options. We tried the potato and mozzarella as well as the potato and beef—both satisfying and fun to eat. However, I was surprised to find that sauces came with an extra 25-cent charge; it would be nice if they included these for free with the dogs.

Overall, while I appreciated the ambiance, I found the flavors a bit lacking to make me want to come back. The food was decent, but I feel it could use a bit more seasoning...

Ordered through Grubhub, for some reason they sent the drinks in a basically open container and spilled on our food, the banana oat milk and strawberry coconut milk were not at all sweet, bulgogi is fatty and full of gristle, didn’t taste like any bulgogi I’ve ever had. Unagi bowl had the weirdest texture, I’ve also had a lot of unagi and that was unlike any I’ve had as well. Garlic wings had cheese on them which I was not notified of, I am very sensitive to dairy so that wasn’t a good surprise for me. Ordered wasabi fries, they had no wasabi sauce on or around them and they arrived cold and wet. The curry chicken was incredibly lackluster, cooked in old oil and was kind of like if you described curry katsu to an alien 👽 and they made it for you 🍛 . Very disappointing especially for the price point, wasn’t able to eat anything...

It's a bit more of a food 'closet' than a hall. Only 3 establishments, and no room to expand:

1. Mochi Donuts (Did not try)
2. Korean (Spicy but good)
3. Coffee (Tasty Latte)

Recommendations:

1. Kiosks by window had a bunch of glare from the sun around afternoon, making placing the order annoying.
2. Capture Coffee only put the number on the drink and not the name of the order. This COULD be okay, but if one opted for no receipt at the kiosk, then there's high potential for the customer to mis-remember the number amongst the multiple similar drinks out on the counter for pickup.
3. Mochi and Coffee feels like foods that could be combined into a single establishment offering. I'd integrate and reconfigure the 3rd space to a different food theme.

Cute mochi donut...
