Cafe Dazzling

Okay so the soup is really good, and the mocha is quickly one of my favorite things to order here, but don't discount the fries and popcorn chicken. Yum! Yesterday I ate here for the second time and I had this server named Amar how has the nicest disposition. Super attentive, super helpful. We never ran out of water and they even packed up my food for me! I brought my cousin to eat here, and we really enjoyed it!! Thank you, Amar for having such great customer service!!!

My wife and I were greeted by our server, Milleni, who was graciously engaging making us feel welcomed and valued. That in and of itself was enough to bring us back. The atmosphere and ambiance is simple but quiet with attentive service. The menu, was one of the best we have seen, beautifully presented both in appearance and category with descriptions of a variety of food, drink and desserts. Food was very good with the only disappointment being the quality of the Ramen noodles. We had the Malaysia Curry Hotpot and Shoyu Ramen and Garlic Fries with Super Large Oolong Boba Milk Tea. Thank you Milleni for making our first visit very welcoming and memorable. We appreciate the wonderful service experience and your incredible hospitality as our server. Great job!!

Had the kimchee hot pot and was not disappointed m. Really tasty and had a lot of ingredient variety. Generous portions and good service. Will definitely be returning. Mango smoothie was good too.

This place is really something! The hot soups come on little burners and is delicious. The bubble tea to go with the meal is awesome. A LOT of food for the money. I Highly recommend it. I wish the restaurant was a bit more cozy. Feels a little like a cafeteria.

First time here and won't be the last. Great atmosphere and service matched with amazing food. First hot pot experience, and they had great variety. Family loved it here and I couldn't have asked for more. We'll be back.

Those hot pot are so GOOD!!! And customer service is very nice too! Love this place!

The restaurant has a store front in a strip mall. FOOD - The "Malaysian Curry Hot Soup" tasted great! It was literally smoking. Medium spice (the other choice was 'hot') was just the right amount of flavorful heat for my taste buds. The broth contained plenty of proteins and some vegetables, although I do not recall eating corn. Corn is on the list of ingredients. It was kind of light on mushrooms, too. Not much ATMOSPHERE. Internal layout is more efficient than emotional. The place gives off no vibes. No 'dazzle, aside from the food. Two ladies and an infant (looked like 3 generations of family) occupied a table. There were no other patrons when I arrived. A couple of people stopped by to pick up Boba tea with little to no food. By the time I left, server Iesly had seated a couple and a family of four, respectively. SERVICE - Iesly was attentive without being too pushy. I kept the menu and made a comment about the "macarons" pictured on the dessert page. But Iesly brought the check without asking if I wanted dessert. Upselling in the service industry should be second nature. "You want fries with that..?" What can I get you for dessert? Earlier, you mentioned macrons. How many would you like?" Iesly bagged up my leftovers. I ate a small bowl of soup for dinner and took the rest to work the next day. I call this food: Asian-Inspired-French-Occupied-Americana! Mmmm... so good! I will be back.

Our Kabocha Milk Hot Soup was very good, lightly seasoned, not too salty, creamy, and would be perfect on a chilly day. Ramen was also very good with the same light seasoned broth. Takayaki was good. Our 13 yr old son gave it 7 out of 10. Service is 10 out of 10. The young ladies were very attentive. You just have to look over and they were quick to come over. Overall we had a wonderful experience at Cafe Dazzling!

My daughter and I were looking for a place to eat dinner at in Tracy on our way back from the East Bay. We were afraid there wouldn't be too many options as it was almost 9 pm. I wanted ramen, and I used Yelp to find a spot close to our location as we approached Tracy. Cafe Dazzling popped up, and the reviews looked positive. We were surprised by how many people were dining inside. That was our first good sign. They had a varied selection of teas, boba, appetizers, and different soups; including hot soups and ramen. My daughter ordered an iced fruit tea, which was very sweet, refreshing, and filled with fresh fruits dancing around the cup. We ordered the popcorn chicken as an appetizer because it seemed to be a popular item. We also both ordered ramen. I ordered the spicy miso and added extra spice. My daughter went with the original miso and asked for a few items to be omitted, which they happily obliged. The popcorn chicken came out piping hot, and I made the mistake of popping a whole piece in my mouth, OUCH! I guess I never learn 😅 they offered ranch, ketchup, or sweet chili sauce for dipping. The sweet chili sauce went really well with the chicken! My ramen was super flavorful and packed with pork chasu, but not overpowered with cabbage or bamboo shoots like a lot of places tend to do. The spice level was perfect! I was able to eat most of my bowl and finish off most of the broth without getting that chalky consistency at the bottom of the bowl! It is quite loud inside, due to them constantly blending drinks, but that gets drowned out by the sound of families enjoying their meals and their company. Cafe Dazzling is open late, which is great because they were busy the whole time we were there. The servers were super nice and attentive while keeping busy bussing the tables as guests left and checking on the customers that were still dining! I will definitely be back to try one of their hot pot style soups, probably at night 😁

I loved their hot pots there. Our first time there and we will definitely return for more! Their price is also very reasonable for the amount of meat you get for each pot. Highly recommend this place. The only cons, their tables are small which makes it quite a clutter if you're ordering more than 2 hotpot for a 4 seater. Other than that, everything was delicious!

Food taste very good. Tea Drinks taste excellent. The flavor of the tea drinks will leave a mark on your brain. Customer service is good. My tummy feels very good.

Been going to this place for more than a years now and was never disappointed. The food, and service is always great. My all time fave hotpot is the kabocha milk. Whenever I’m in a crave for ramen this is my place to go. I love and highly recommend this place.

Ordered Mango Milk Tea with Mango Jelly. It was amazing! It was light, refreshing and very tasty in hot summer weather. The mango jellies in the drink were cherry on the top, loved it. I went there 3 days in a row as i got obsessed with it. One can choose the amount of ice they want in the drink and drink can be customised. There was parking available right in front of the cafe to pick up our drink. Drink 10/10 ⭐️ Highly recommend the drink.

We had a tasty meal at Cafe Dazzling. The hot pot is the thing to get. They also have boba drinks.

The hot pots and teas here are amazing. The teas are made with real tea, not just blended up powdered stuff, so they're very refreshing. We drive from a few towns over just to have it. It's our favorite spot to eat currently, and the Thai hot pot is the best in my opinion. It's perfectly seasoned, a little spicy, and has a lot of toppings like pork, shrimp, fish ball, clams, mussels, lots of cabbage and mushrooms, noodles, tofu, and fish cake. They have really good desserts like creme brulee, and last summer they also had an amazing coconut pudding. Hot pot pictured is the Taiwanese spicy hot pot.

We ordered the veggie hot soup and a make your own Ramen and mango crepe. Everything was very tasty.. The mangoes on the crepe weren't fully ripe as it is not in season. Will definitely be visiting again.

This is our go to for HOT & Delicious Ramen. Good & fast service thanks to Leslie & Lydia. Also try their smoothies & their desserts. The price is very reasonable. BON APPETIT

I've been here a couple of times, and the soups are amazing! I'm not even a soup person. They have an assortments of soups to choose from for the hot pots, or you can build your own ramen bowl. I get mine with the black garlic oil base. It's really flavorful, especially when I add more garlic paste/sauce to it, which is available at the table. If you order a hot pot, you get a glass of tea for free. And it's a very sweet tea. I ordered a mixed fruit tea boba, and it came with different tropical fruits. It was like drinking a sangria, minus the wine. The one thing I don't recommend is the desserts. The cheesecake bites are good, and the macarons. We've ordered a tiramisu, a slice of cheesecake, and a crepe on different occasions and they were slightly frozen. The decor inside is new and clean. And service is outstanding. Plus, they have two tvs, so it's a good place to watch a game (local teams only). I highly recommend this place if you have soup craving.

I got ramen with extra chashu and taro milk tea from doordash. The milk tea is awesome, and the flavor of the ramen is good too. I just wish the noodles were not as thick.

I love eating here, it’s a good place for the area for snacking and drinks combined. I recently moved from the Bay Area and I miss cafes like this, so I’m glad this is here. MY ORDER: - popcorn chicken - French fries - strawberry crepe - basic ramen - tom yum hot pot - passion fruit green tea PROS: - A+ customer service, everyone here is pretty friendly! - I love the boba murals / drawings- a cute idea is that this changes during the seasons maybe to match the holidays? - the food is pretty decent, and they offer large portions. - the to-go packaging is good quality. CONS: - My only concern is that I think they switched the French fry brand, and I absolutely loved the beer battered French fries from before. They were so crunchy and covered with this toasted coating- it was delicious. - The popcorn chicken is crunchy , but unfortunately has no seasoning- I’m glad I got take out because once I got home I added my own. Maybe it’s to leave room for preference , but I wish they offered options or sides of seasoning like white pepper or cayenne. TIPS: If you want food of any kind, be prepared to wait 15-20 min. To have a quicker experience, try ordering by calling ahead.

The hot pot was delicious but the milk teas was a little water down.

Love this place for its sizzling hotpot soups and the wide variety of add-ons! Their popcorn chicken is a favorite too. Great food, nice ambience, and reasonable prices—definitely one of my go-to spots!

I finally went back to Cafe Dazzling after a third time in my hiatus after half a year of going there — when we had to confront the boss multiple times near closing time if we were able to dine-in close to 9:30 or 10. They said their kitchen was closed at the time, back in September, so it left us with a really bad impression that we would never go back again (the picture screenshotted is taken from another fellow Google Reviewer so credits to him! But that’s the boss who sits there and does nothing pretty much — ) HOWEVER, this time we went back and I was astonished by how quickly they seated us. Last time it nearly took us 10-15 minutes to get seated, and when we had called them beforehand, they said their kitchen was closed early — only doing takeout orders. This time we called and they said they closed at 10:30. Me and my partner were coming from late from Lathrop, we are craving Asian food really really bad, so we decided to give it another try. Look at all those fries for $4! Enough to feed appetizers for both two people! I also got the Taiwanese Hot Soup base — and I asked them specifically to take out cilantro and all sorts of mushrooms because of preference. It came out in a big wok bigger than expected — which I wasn’t expecting for the price, but HEY, that’s what happens when you get the good service too! Only thing about atmosphere was that it was a little too tight — and cleanliness of the hallways. Our waitress was really chill and friendly and constantly checked up on us despite a busy crowd at night. Still a little not sure if we’ll come back again (yet?), but enough to leave us another good impression — so we’ll be sure to check it out sometime soon!

For some reason I had never noticed this place before even though I have been in this shopping center so many times. The food was good. They bring it to your table on a burner to keep it nice and hot. I had to tell them to douse my flame because it was so hot. I got the curry hot pot and the food was good. It was a lot of food. I’d define it go back and try again. They have alacarte choices and ramen as well.

Hate to give this place 4 stars because they’re the best ramen in town in my opinion. They CONSTANTLY screw up mine and my friends orders. Me personally, I’ve had my order missing items 4 different times. Lucky for them they have good food. If you want order accuracy you’ll have to dine in.

There is a great variety of different types of food and drink such as Chinese hot pot, Japanese ramen, rice plates, milk tea with boba, smoothies, desserts (e.g., Tiramisu, Cheese Cake, Crepe, Macaroons, etc.) and appetizers (fries, garlic fries, popcorn chicken, fried calamari, etc.). The taste is okay! The environment is okay! The service is so-so! (They didn’t provide any napkins to us!) Not sure I would come back again as there aren’t many options in Tracy for the types of Asian food they offer!

Come for the tea, leave for food. Sno-Crave has always been mid food, but this re-brand to "cafe dazzling" is only dazzling if you consider surprisingly low quality to be dazzling.

I really enjoy their food and desserts! One of the places I use to enjoy coming to. The staff is friendly and food is good! I live in Modesto and work here in Tracy. I work in the same plaza, and would go on my lunch and order take out, usually the smaller meals. The staff has always been friendly, especially Mimi, whenever I would go, the owner lately, has made me feel unwelcome, annoyed and impatient with me when I would go in and order take out. I started to anxious whenever deciding to go, so I decided to stop altogether. Pho Town is right next door and has always made me feel welcome even after always ordering take out.

As a customer I would have given then 4 stars. Their crepes are no good but their soups were pretty good. I had lunch there three days in a row because I enjoyed the food and service. But as a Dasher, they tend to ignore me and today downright refused to let me use the restroom! I'm there representing their customer! Heck, I WAS a customer! But thanks to their rudeness and inhumane policy, they will never have my business again. Shame. Will have to find a new spot to have lunch now. Food was okay, but I won't give my business to people who treat their Dasher/Delivery drivers like that.

My first time coming and the boss here was very rude he ignored us multiple times the food was good our waiter was very nice. Although we had an issue with the drinks they were too sweet and we asked them to remake them and they gave us a hard time. I will not be returning I do recommend this place.

This place is so horrible 🤮. The soup had no flavor and the noodles were too chewy and flavorless. The eggs were undercooked, and the seaweed had left a horrible smell. I do not reccomend this place. Please do not eat here…

Serious question for the management: why are your servers always so eager to offer the bill the moment I stop chewing? This has happened consistently. During my last visit, I was approached five times while eating. The first three were to ask if I wanted my hotpot turned off, despite me telling the server that my meat still needed to cook. Then, after just 10 minutes, the server came back and tried to give me the bill as soon as I checked my phone. This practice is frustrating. If I need something, I’ll raise my hand and call for assistance. The restaurant is small, so there’s no issue with getting attention when needed. Please reconsider this approach—it's affecting the overall experience

Never coming here again. Last time I came here I order the Ramen and the bamboo sticks were super salty. I told one of the server and she said she was so sorry and told me she would tell her manager. I went today to maybe give them another chance because they were busy the previous time. It was not busy today at all and it was still very salty and when I ask for small amount of Boba , my whole large drink was HALF Boba. I'm very disappointed because I don't think am asking for alot when I just want my order correct and not for my food to be salty. I would not recommended anyone coming here. I don't know what happen but the quality of the place is not what it use to be. Very disappointing 😞.

CAUTION WHEN EATING HERE!! Please check your food when eating here! I regularly dine in and always get the same ramen dish, my recent visit left me never wanting to return. While dining in and nearing the end of my meal I found multiple small worms in my ramen!! I was in utter disbelief and disgust!! I later presented with the typical vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea for days! Never would I return nor recommend eating here ever again!

I'll begin by saying our waiter was great, however... We decided to try this place after finding our ramen spot of choice closed till 5pm and we simply couldn't wait 2 hrs. My rating is strictly on food quality, we ordered 2 ramen and the calamari appetizer, the calamari was definitely old because it was extremely tough to chew and had no flavor aside from mild freezer burn. When we aaked for an additional lime wedge to try and make that more palatable, I was told they charge extra for that... ummm ok. Needless to say it didn't help and we just took that loss and left it aside. Ramen was ok, minus the soggy cabbage used to fill the bowl. Last but not least, they charge an additional 4% to pay electronically.

I had a terrible experience here. The drink I got was awful, and when I asked for a refund, the owner flat-out refused and was extremely rude about it. On top of that, the owner just sits at a table doing nothing while the service and overall experience suffer. Absolutely disappointing—I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. DONT COME HERE!

I was so excited to try the food and check this shop out and I was so disappointed. We had gotten back from a long day out of town and when we came in it was bad. The young lady who seated us left us waiting for a good 20 mins before coming to ask us if we wanted any drinks. She was rude and seemed like she didn’t want to be there. Our food also took forever to come out. When our food came (I ordered a hotpot ) I had asked for napkins and utensils and she acknowledged my request and said okay but never brought them.( had to ask another waiters , who was sweet and helped us) Also, she didn’t turn the flame off my hotpot almost until we were done even tho I had asked her twice throughout our meal and it was so soggy I didn’t even finish it and most of my table didn’t finish their food either. She probably hated us because we all ended up just talking our food to go. Even tho we had horrible service I still left a $6 dollar tip that she really didn’t even deserve.

We were regulars and it is sad to have to leave a bad review and never going back to this restaurant. Properly train your new employee so they are not rude to customers would go a long way. We sat ourselves after waiting for a long time because the restaurant is busy. We were being as nice as possible with the intention to save them time and energy to sit us. We have already sat down for a few minutes and the waitress came up to us and say, "wait at the entrance nice time". Is it really that big of a deal to make a comment? Would you want someone to say that to you before you get ready to enjoy a meal? I looked at the owner and he continues to sit there without any intervention. So we left and would never go back.
