Reviews for Vinum Japanese Fusion & Bar in Newark, CA
Good food and quality service. This place was not very busy, perfect for quiet conversations. We ordered several... tapas/sushi Volcano: 5/5 This was good. There was a great balance between tenderness and crunchiness. The seaweed tempura wentreally well with Sashimi poke. Beef tongue: 5/5 Very tender and flavorful. I guess they also gave it a bit of torching, whichadds to the richness of the flavor. Nigiri Omakase: 4/5 It was beautifully presented. The nigiris are good but aren’timpressive. Hamachi Carpaccio: 3.5/5 I do not enjoy Hamachi with Mayo personally. The mayo seemed to be too overwhelming. Butthe fish was fresh and I can imagine there will be people who actually enjoy it. But it is just not for me. Read more
Came in for wine tasting. Wines are good. The oysters are definitely not fresh and the waiters kept on pushing us for orders and... bill starting from 9pm. Overall not recommended. Read more

Delicious yaki udon (pesto seafood udon) and scallop handrails! The interesting red blend flight was also great
Very nice location. Relaxed atmosphere. Outstanding service!!! Menu needs to be updated. Good wine selection but needs more... beers. Cheese plate was excellent as was the lamb meatball. Read more
Interesting layout - one side inside the mall, one side is facing to the parking lot with see-thru window over the corner. Live... band shows in certain time tables. Menu has a massive selection of tasting, good selections. Food is mediterranean cuisine,light and tasty. Good place for team events or gathering dining/dating. Read more
Came here for a date night dinner. It was a Sunday and we were having a hard time finding places that were open. We decided to... eat outside and the server was great and served us on the shared patio! The atmosphere on the patio is a little odd since you'relooking into a shopping mall, but I know the restaurant can't control that. My fiance had a glass of wine and I had the redsangria. The wine menu is small but it makes it easier to choose. The wine was good, but my sangria wasn't great. They use creamsoda instead of lemon lime, and I wasn't a fan. We ordered some tapas - we weren't too excited about any of the entrees. We had3 montaditos - potato & chorizo, bell pepper & ricotta, and seared beef. The potato and chorizo came out cold. The other twowere good. The bell pepper was our favorite. We also ordered a few pintxos, which I didn't think were worth the price. Exceptthe curry chicken - that was good. The pork kabob was dry and the prawns were cold and didn't have much flavor. We also orderedthe fried asparagus, which I liked. There wasn't really anything else on the menu we wanted to try. Thankfully it was a nicenight and the server was very kind, but I don't think the food and drinks were worth the price Read more
Perfect place to unwind after a long day of work. Food, drink and customer service was excellent.
