Cousin Cafe

First of all, I am vegetarian, and also no eggs. There weren't many options for vegetarians, although the only three were curry, stirfry, and rice. The food was very bland and overpriced. Maybe this is a good place for meat eaters, but avoid if you're vegetarian.

I've been here a lot as a kid, and just recently came back. I ordered my usual fish soup noodles, which I can't really find elsewhere, and it was delicious. They serve this delicious spicy pepper on the side, and it complements the noodle soup really well. The noodles have fish (obviously), fish cake, mushrooms. Really tasty! Food quality is quite good and price is fair for quantity at around $12 post-tax.

Accepts credit card but only with $20 minimum purchase against merchant agreement. Goto local Hong Kong cafe style food. Open till 11 with dessert drinks and happy hour special menus. One star off for credit card minimum. Will revisit rating if this changes.

Update: 1/1/2017 - Used to come here several times a week. A happy hour noodle soup or porridge was around $3. Now the prices on the happy hour menu are nearly double. Drinks are also now a rip off... $4+ per drink for milk tea, red bean, etc. Go next door or to any of the other 5+ places in the same plaza/shopping center to save money. Drinks used to be on the expensive side, but were buy one get one free. Credit card claimed to be not working as well. Yeah right. Service is with a smile if you accept a strained smirk as a smile.

Be lucky to come back here again and am going to recommend friends to no longer come here.

There's a long list of places in Fremont, Union City, Newark area that are open late or later, are a better value and have equal if not better food.

Still has credit card minimum purchase.

Update 2/2019. Tried recently and as expected prices have gone up across the board including during happy hour times. However buy one get one free drinks is back during certain times. Food is pretty good for Hong Kong style Cafe food. Raising from 1 to 3 stars.

Great! Food is really good and portions are Huge. Definitely will come back. Not the cheapest, but cheap enough. On average, about $11/entree

Fried rice is good. Spaghetti with hot dog frank is OK too but not enough meat sauce. Lemon ice tea not bad but costs 3+ dollars with no refills. Should stay with free refillable regular hot tea or just water.
