27320 Hesperian Blvd, Hayward, CA 94545 China Cook serves up a quick meal at reasonable prices. Located near Hesperian Blvd & West Tennyson Rd, it has been in business since 1998. It's in the FoodMaxx shopping center. When you see the Dairy Belle Freeze, China Cook is in the plaza behind it. China Cook serves Americanized-Chinese food. They offer different combo sizes and a menu for "cook to order" dishes. The front counter is a steam table with prepared foods. The interior looks a bit old, with cushioned booths and tables. I was there on a Thursday evening after 7pm. I got a Combo B, 2 items + rice/chow mein. I asked for fried rice w/ gourmet ribs and BBQ pork. As expected it was a little dry. But the BBQ pork was fresh and moist. Also, it's a generous amount of food as compared to the skimpy servings at some Panda Express locations. Price: $11+ Free parking Dessert?

My family has been going to China Cook probably for my whole life! I used to walk here after school with my friends in High School and get their bowls. When I was a kid, my favorite was their orange chicken and then it became their teriyaki chicken. Both of those items still hit the spot every time to this day! The teriyaki chicken has such a perfect grilled taste and has the most addicting teriyaki sauce that I could just pour on everything! It's literally my favorite place to go for teriyaki chicken! Other items I love from them is their chow mein and their soups. I looove me a good egg-drop soup. The ladies there are always nice. The prices are a little bit more and portions are a little smaller compared to other chinese foods in the area. read more

If you're hungry and low on funds, you can get a decent sized meal here for about $10. That gets you either Chow Mein or Fried Rice plus two items from their extensive steam table. We've been to low budget all-you-can-eat restaurants with less selection. Don't be confused. You're not paying for award winning gourmet dishes, but it will cure those hunger pains. You will end up with a full belly but don't expect a ton of flavor. I asked for 1/2 & 1/2 Chow Mein and Fried Rice. For my sides, I got Deep Fried Fish and Curry Chicken. The Chicken was chopped pretty fine. The Curry was weak on flavor and heat. The Fish was pretty good. She got Chow Mein, the same Curry Chicken and Pork Spare Ribs in Black Bean Sauce. She said that the ribs were pretty tender and not super fatty. I also ordered a pair of Egg Rolls for $1.80. read more

In my opinion this is a restaurant Hayward needed. Their food is overall great, especially their fried fish, fried rice, and grilled chicken. Most of the time you will receive a good portion of food. Their prices are also not that bad. I do wish they would upgrade their interior with some lights however. The employees are nice and focused on serving you well. read more

There are probably some good things in the buffet of pre cooked items. But my Thai salad was not worth it. No flavor under the tasty chicken. Soda can is 1.50 and the non working soda fountain is 1.25. Whatever the miniscule amount is that is the difference in size of a fountain drink and a can, it's a racket. The egg rolls look crispier than they are. So don't bother. Ask for double dressing is my tip. read more

China Cook is a good place to go for Chinese fast food. They have reasonable prices and the food taste good given the competition in the area. We usually order the sesame chicken, orange chicken, bbq pork, fried fish and fortune cookies. They are good sized portions and are great for a quick meal to go with home cooked rice. Their other food is mediocre and a bit greasy, so we usually stick to the same choices. The staff is friendly as well. read more

I've been in the bay area for the last nine months and this is the first time that I have really good Chinese food. The portions are generous, the quality is delicious, the food is fresh, the service is fast and friendly, and the prices are very affordable. I get a rice/noodle combo with two items for $6.90. The BBQ pork is so good and the orange chicken is not all breading like at most other places. For another $1.20 I get 2 crab Rangoon (the best I've had in years) or 2 egg rolls. Where else can you get lunch/dinner with enough food for leftovers for around $8? I've already been here twice this week. China Cook is definitely my new favorite Chinese restaurant in the Bay! read more

Was pretty hungry and a bit strapped on cash so i figured it was either McDs or i try China Cook. Honestly China Cook was a very Good Option. I ordered Combo A with Fried Rice and Orange Chicken, Small Egg Drop Soup and a Medium Soda for less than 10 bucks. The Entree portion of the combo was slightly lacking but the soup made up for it. My chicken wasnt hard and the rice had a decent flavor, soup could use a bit more salt but good otherwise. I will definitely be coming back for lunch next time. read more

I happened to be nearby and though I'd usually opt for Hawaiian or boba at Quickly's, but I thought I'd give it a try because why not.‍ And wow. What a mess. The portions are unreasonably priced for their quality and the crab rangoon is so greasy it hurt my teeth. But what really got me was the abomination they called a chicken egg roll. Not a single piece of chicken in sight. Just a bunch of unseasoned, steamed vegetables.I ask the server if it was supposed to be a chicken egg roll. She shrugs me off, "There's a LITTLE chicken in there" The attitude was uncalled for and disrespectful, never mind the false advertising. I won't bother trying anything else from here. You'd have to pay me, seriously. read more

I will be reviewing this spot as my expectations of a fastfood chinese spot. Cuz i will never come here for a proper chinese family meal. This places acts more of a togo. Ambience - pretty nice for a takeout chinese spot. Neutral. No comment and the line moves quick for lunch. Quality - I still can tell MSG in it but pretty good spot when i need a quick filling lunch. Why not?!? As long as i dun get dizzy afterwards. I dun like their chow mein or fried rice so i usually get white rice instead. Special bowl is filling me enough. Price - 5$-9$ i believe. Not bad. Depending on what you get. I usually spend less than 6$ here and I am super full afterwards (asian girl tummy size i guess :P) -1 star because I am not hooked to this place. I rarely rate 5 unless I am addicted there lolz. read more

Recently, I ate in person and the food came out piping hot. Service was great but also, I noticed the staff cleaning each table and the bathroom was also fairly clean. There was also a staff going around making sure everyone's orders were good. I thought that was great to see and enjoyed the spotless environment. Of course the main star is the food and it definitely lives up to the hype IMO. It's just classic chicken tenders and crinkle cut fries but when it's piping hot, it's super delicious and can't beat the good service too.

If you're walking in, the entrance is almost hard to find. There's 2 separate entrances but the doors are single doors in black with no particular effort on the store's part to make the entrance look welcoming. Once you do make it inside though, it is a fun vibe with large disco balls overhead. Their chicken fingers is what's famous. I do think their breading is nice and manages to stay crispy even after bringing it back home to eat 15 minutes later. Flavor isn't particular special. Definitely needs Cane sauce. Fun fact, if you like their sauce, I heard you can order a whole cup's worth. The Texas toast is amazing though. It's a bit sweet, a bit salty from the butter, and it's toasted for a light crisp. Absolutely delicious. Recommend getting the toast with every purchase! The tea was surprisingly not as sweet as I expected. I usually have to mix my McD's sweet tea down with half unsweetened tea so I did that with my tea at Cane's and found it much less sweeter than I thought. Gonna go for full sweet tea next time.

I grew up in Asia and used to eat really spicy food but this is on another level! That being said, I am totally satisfied with the experience. Finishing the whole wing in one go is not possible so I plan to consume it slowly day by day mixing with other food. Their Sando meal with fries is my day to day favorite. I normally order the medium(very spicy) level, it's in my comfort zone. But if you just like a hint of spicy, just order mild or mild+(spicy) level should be good. I always do food delivery and their packaging is always very eco-friendly and nice. This location is a food truck so not many comments on the ambience.

I had a simple cheeseburger and nuggets. The food was ok. But then I decided to visit the bathroom. Instead of giving me the key, the kid took me and he knocked, before opening the door for me. Turns out someone was there. So I said what about the other bathroom. And the kid says, that's for staff even though it doesn't say so. So the kid goes away while I wait. And I wait. And I continue waiting. This person is not coming out. Instead of complaining, I just left. I'd rather put my complaint here, because the more people know, they will and should improve how they handle the bathroom situation. What was wrong with me using the staff bathroom!

I finally tried Los Carnalitos yesterday! I remember seeing this place from FeedMeiMei's video (I…read morethink if I remember correctly). I've had this place bookmarked for a year now, and I went there yesterday at 10am to get some food to go. I was greeted by a lady there. She was friendly and complimented my dress. I got a Carne Asada Taco, Al Pastor Taco, and a Gringa. I asked if they had chips and salsa, but she said they do have salsa but no chips. That's different. I've never been to a Mexican spot that didn't have chips. The place looked clean and vibrant. There were plenty of parking in the plaza. There were plenty of seating as well. Maybe it was still early so no customers were there when I was there. After waiting for about 5 mins, she brought me my bag of food. She complimented my look and bid a good day. So sweet & nice! I enjoyed the food when I got home. Everything was very yummy! The meats along with the veggies were all super tasty. The green salsa had a nice kick to it. The cucumber (?) slices were refreshing. I think I found a new fave Mexican spot! Just need to get some chips from a store! Lol :)

Vietnamese Peruvian fusion that absolutely delivers on delicious flavors!…read more I came across this restaurant and had to try because I was so intrigued by the concept. Parking Not too difficult when we went on Saturday early dinner. There's nearby parking, no lot so it can be challenging depending on time. Space The restaurant has several tables and nearby outdoor tables. They do room to accommodate a larger group but most tables are for 2-4 people. Food Everything I got was so good! I tried their hanoi pho, lomo saltaldo, and their beef toungue taro salad. By far my favorite bite of the three was the beef toungue taro salad. If I can recommend one thing, it would be this dish. It's savory, sweet, crunchy, light, and addicting. Perfect balance of textures and flavors and the beef toungue was tender. The Lomo Saltado was tasty, the beef was cooked perfectly and I love that they used crispy fries that stayed relatively crispy despite it being soaked in sauce. The pho broth was so delicious. It had such a depth flavor that made it so addicting. I didn't particularly love the beef because it felt too coated in baking soda (or something similar), it was too velvety. But other than that, enjoyable dish! And they use fresh noodles. Service and Staff Both great! They serve you a tea which I really enjoyed and they staff were friendly! Overall I will definitely come back to try the rest of their menu and for that salad

The broth of the pho was flavorful and there was a good amount of meat in the bowl. I would have liked the meat in general to be more tender. It is interesting that they give you hot sauce and pickled garlic in small containers instead of a communal one on the table but I guess it is more sanitary. I like that they give you iced tea. The Viet coffee was not very strong as it usually should be but overall it was okay. Staff was friendly but didn't check in during our meal.
