Two-item plate with half fried rice half chow mein, Kung Pao Chicken, and garlic chicken
Molly L.

We have come here a couple of times now and each time there is a steady stream of people. It's because of how generous they are with their portions, with good food as well. We have ordered the chicken curry, the egg foo Yong (it was not what we were used to), the garlic chicken, and the kung pao chicken. The chow mein has more flavor than the fried rice, but both are standard. The curry was a little strong and not my favorite. My partner wasn't a fan of the egg foo Yong. But we both liked the kung pao chicken and the garlic chicken since both had good flavors. The food is super generous, just over $13 for a two-entree plate that has more than enough food for two people. The only complaint I have is that this place can get so busy that the tables aren't cleaned as often as they should be. In fact, the inside can be a bit dingy. But the staff are nice and at least there is seating when we are looking for some.

Our favorite fast-food Chinese in San Leandro! I've tried most of the fast-food places in San Leandro, and this is the best one. Not only is the food good, but the customer service is excellent, which is hard to find at Chinese places. Parking is easy to find since they have a private lot. I can see why everyone loves their BBQ chicken. It's a must-order if you haven't tried it. The BBQ chicken is extra charred, like it came off the BBQ grill. It's flavorful without being too sweet. I love salt pepper pork chops, and theirs is pretty good. Their salt and pepper pork chops are bone-in, which is how I like them. They have more flavor and meat than the boneless ones. I also ordered beef fried rice, which I preferred over the premade fried rice under the warming lamp. It is more flavorful. Their sweet and sour chicken is not what most people use in the reddish color. It comes out more like an orange/yellow, similar to lemon chicken. It still tasted good, but could use more tart.

This is good Chinese food, for fast food. It was a little bit dirty inside, the customer service is nice I got there at the end of the night there was somewhat limited selection but overall very good for the price and serving size.

Food 4/5 This place I've actually patronized some they first opened. When I lived closer I was more of a regular. Lee knew me and my son who was a toddler at the time. I miss her but she's older now and home enjoying the grand kids and resting. My friend's mom turned me on to Beijing Bowl for the teriyaki chicken. Nice and tender with that perfect grill taste. Before my food allergies I enjoyed many items on the menu like the chow mein, fried rice, pot stickers, Crab Rangoon, egg rolls, hot n sour soup, spicy chicken (a real fan fav). These days I tend to get the chicken Thai salad that's lite, healthy and does not trigger any of my food allergies. Service 4/5 The young ladies who work there are great but I want Lee back. I love establishing rapports and building relationships at my regular places. Lee definitely knew my son and I. Ambiance 3/5 Nothing fancy. Buffet style, Chinese fast food to go. They offer catering too.

"BeiJing Bowl" is a Chinese fast food restaurant in San Leandro, CA. What's Chinese fast food? It's a chinese restaurant that has already prepared foods in steamers or heated trays that are ready to serve. You tell them what you want, and they serve it to you. Beijing Bowl also has "cook to order" entrees as specials. The sign says it'll take 10-15 mins to cook. Most likely they use hot woks, and can cook foods very quickly. Last Thursday I got done with my job in San Leandro, and Beijing Bowl was still open at 8pm. There was a steady flow of customers, which is a good sign. A chinese fast food place with steady business usually means the food is replenished or rotated often. So I went in, looked over the trays, and asked for: Fried Rice with Curry Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken. I also got a side of BBQ Chicken. For rice with 2 items, it's alot of food. You could probably feed 2 people. The fried rice was moist, not sticky, and fairly fresh. I picked rice because it can soak up the gravy and flavors of the curry chicken and kung pao. I liked the Curry Chicken. It was tender boneless chicken, potatoes, onions, and some other vegetables. Nice flavor, brought back some memories. I didn't like their Kung Pao Chicken recipe. It was chicken, onions, and undercooked carrots. Maybe red specks of chili peppers? Peanuts optional. I don't like crunchy carrots in cooked foods. I guess bell peppers are too expensive? Kung Pao Chicken should have chopped bell peppers, scallions, and a dose of red chili peppers. Americanized Kung Pao is usually sweet, savory, and with a little spicy heat. Peanuts give it a nutty flavor. The side of BBQ Chicken was a little dry and tough, I kind of expected that. But it looked good. Overall, a fairly good experience. You get alot of food for the price. I guess smart selections come with experience. I was there one hour before closing, and there was a limited selection. BeiJing Bowl is on the corner of Washington Ave & Halcyon Dr, in San Leandro. Free Parking in adjacent strip mall.

I'm going to miss Beijing bowl as my go to fast Chinese food restaurant when I move outta San Leandro! The ladies at the counter are the sweetest and the food is cheap but with quality taste. Super affordable and you get huge portions. You can't go wrong with anything here and here's a tip: if you don't want just chow mein or rice, ask for half and half with your plate! I love the egg drop soup here and wonton chips Literally drooling thinking about this place lol

Orange Chicken, good!

I have never did this about any Chinese food before but everything lacked salt. There were a few pieces of garlic and a few pieces of ginger in two of our dishes. We had a tiny bit of soy sauce left in the house that my husband got to before my daughter and I ate. He lucked out. The food was fresh. The veggies were perfectly cooked. But there was zero flavor. No sauce with two of the dishes that claimed to have some. Just boring. Tonight , the day after I chopped up most of the leftovers and made a soup. So it it is not going int the trash. However if I was not someone who knows how to cook it would have been in the bin. I hope that HKC can take this review and do better.

The restaurant is really big and we sat at a table for 14 pretty comfortably. We were also here on a Saturday night and the restaurant was full. The service is your typical Chinese restaurant vibe where you leave a little bit emotionally abused after paying for overly priced menu items. We did the à la cart and easily spent up to $1500. Better off with the family plan meal but nothing was of interest to us except one or two dishes. It took forever to come out and I mean FOREVER to a point where we almost cancelled a few dishes and called it a night, but they kept saying it's being made. With as many people and as massive as the restaurant was, and the price tags, I was expecting a more efficient service. A couple of times we saw our dish being brought to the wrong table and the people going "oh we didn't order this." With all of that out of the way, I am giving them an average score of 3 starts because the food did bring them back up. It was actually really good. My favorite of all things we ordered was their sea bass with string beans. The sea bass was fried crispy, garnished salty and still soft inside. It paired really well with the string beans. We ordered a bunch of other things that I couldn't tell you what the name was in English and they were above average taste wise. Their complimentary dessert however, was mass produced and tasted like they added too much water to it. This was the only one I was disappointed in. I still say this place is extremely overpriced but for a family meal experience and if you ever want to impress a date, why not.

One standout was the Hai Nan Chicken, a super juicy whole chicken cut into pieces and served cold with ginger-scallion oil and peanuts on the side. A classic Hong Kong dish was the Baked Pork Chop, served in a casserole dish with a sweet tomato/onion sauce and melted cheese over spaghetti and topped with a fried egg. The BBQ Eel Stone Rice was their version of a Korean bibimbap, made with rice topped with assorted vegetables including carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts, shiitake, and pickled radish, along with sweet and spicy gochujang and a fried egg on top. The best part was of course the crispy rice that formed on bottom of the stone pot. Finally, we got a side dish of Chinese Broccoli, stir-fried with Chinese sausage and preserved meat, which added a salty and umami flavor. Overall, the food here was simple but delicious and made with quality ingredients. Everything came at reasonable prices along with fast, friendly service in a nice atmosphere too!

Staffing on the Yao Yao was only 1 waitress & a waiter bot. Orders: Sour Shredded Potato $16.95- crunchy potato sticks w/oil, chili peppers & seasoning. A different menu than other places & it was good, just a little oily. Garlic Pea Sprout $19.95-tender pea sprouts w/garlic bulbs cooked together makes this my favorite vegetable dish. Combo BBQ platter $29-BBQ pork, chicken & soy sauce chicken gives you a variety but my favorite was the pork. I am not used to the bony chicken pieces & having to de-bone them myself so I wouldn't order this again. Shrimp & BBQ pork Fried Rice $17-nice wok heat w/fresh pierces of shrimp made this a satisfying dish. It was a little bland but ok. Golden Soup Pickled Fish (S)$22.95-for the price this was the best bargain. The fish fillets are tender & the perfect size. The broth was a bit oily but still excellent & the star of the show. The slight tangy broth bc of the pickled vegetables gives this dish its unique flavor profile & my favorite. In addition to this, I was surprised w/a few pieces of potato noodle hidden inside this gem that gave it a chewy texture.

The manager demanded that I provide identification or certification for my service dog. I explained that under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses are not legally permitted to require service dog documentation as a condition of entry. Despite this explanation, the waiter repeatedly refused to serve us. When I talked to the manager to discuss the situation, she showed no willingness to address my concerns. Instead, she continued to deny any wrongdoing and repeatedly insisted that they would not serve us. What happened next was even more shocking. A restaurant employee repeatedly verbally confronted and threatened us. He even became increasingly aggressive and attempted to approach us in a physically threatening manner when we said we would report him and the restaurant to ADA and relative department. Two other individuals had to intervene repeatedly to stop him from coming toward us. I have never experienced such hostility and intimidation from restaurant staff simply for attempting to exercise my legal rights. I am extremely disappointed by the manager's handling of this situation and deeply concerned about the threatening behavior displayed by the employee. No customer should have to experience intimidation, threats, or potential discrimination simply for bringing a service dog into a restaurant. I am sharing this experience so that other customers, especially people with disabilities and service dog handlers, can make informed decisions about visiting this restaurant. This was not merely poor customer service. It was a deeply troubling experience involving potential disability discrimination and serious concerns about customer safety.
