    We had an early dinner so it was empty inside we were greeted by a nice lady I ordered the spicy braised beef noodle soup with knife, cut noodles for $14.95 In order of the garlic stirfry string beans for $12.95 This braised beef noodle soup had the most tender beef and tasty delicious broth!! this made my entire meal and so worth it for to come back, especially with the hand pulled noodles such a thick great chewy texture. I would come back for this nothing special about the green beans. It was just deep-fried with some spicy sauce little bit oily for me wasn't worth it, but it wasn't bad. Parking here is horrible small parking lot within different restaurants nearby in a plaza parking. The wall are thins and it shared by an unnamed business where you just see and hear a bunch of old young Asian guys yelling I'm not sure if they're gambling.

    Beef Wrap Rolls
    Mandy D.

    3.5 stars This place isn't bad. I didn't care for the beef wrap roll and for $11, I would pass on that. The pea shoots were too salty. Beef noodle soup was okay, comforting. The pan fried Shanghai buns were good. A bit expensive for the portion though at $12 for 4 buns. Hard to justify paying so much for the wrap and pan fried Shanghai buns.

    Scallion oil noodle

    Solid, flavored noodles but would be great if they add protein to vegetarian noodles! Potato tornadoes were fantastic.

    Menu

    Delicious green onion pancakes and dry noodles with garlic/red chili pepper and beef. Easy ordering via the QR code at the table but we missed it and thankfully a staff person came to take our order.

    I liked their noodles as they were freshly made and were al dente. Skipped the XLB and other dishes as they were on the bland side. The worst was their fungus mushroom appetizer. They didn't even bother soaking (marinating) the fungus in the sauce, just a pour over.

    Excellent Pea Shoots

    Week night visit & it was filled w/patrons. Parking is shared with Manor 88 grocery store & other restaurants. You order w/the QR code on the wall or the chopstick holder. Orders: Classic XLB-plump meat w/a thick wrapping. The quantity of meat was great but it didn't have that flavorful soupy juice I wanted. The wrapping was a bit thicker than I have had elsewhere, but ok. Garlic Stir Fry Pea Shoots-excellent dish that had the freshness & flavor that really hit the spot. Braised Beef Noodle Soup w/knife cut noodles-a well incorporated noodle dish that has the right amounts of beef to Bok Choy ratio. The soup had a wonderful bone broth taste that was soothing to my soul. A hearty dish that satisfies. Would come back again!

    Black Truffle & Shrimp Xiao Long Bao 15.95

    Visited 8/21/26 - Cucumber Salad 5.95 We loved it. Main three notes were nutty, vinegar-y, and spicy. One of the best cucumber salads I have had and the price was great! - Black truffle and Shrimp 15.95 The truffle flavor barely came through, definitely worth skipping. My boyfriend cools down XLBs in vinegar and definitely didn't taste it. I would eat the soup, then dip in your sauce! The skin was great, not too thick but thick enough to pick up the XLB with no leakage. - Beef Wrap Rolls 10.95 This was delicious even though there was barely any hoison sauce so not too sweet. This one was more about the wrap than the inside not too much beef or onions and cilantro. The chilli oil with vinegar to dip put this over the top. So good I would say one of the best chilli oils in the bay area. - Braised Beef Noodle Soup 14.95 The beef was tender, the noodles stole the show. We opted for knife cut but any option would have been a great pairing. It was the perfect amount of chewy-ness and not over cooked. Also comes with scissors to help make it a shareable. The broth was sweet due to the point of region the restaurant specializes in. The inside is super cute and you can find little hironos spread around. The flow is you walk in a server helps you to your table! The food comes out pretty quick. The parking lot is pretty small.

    This is a nice place for lunch. We ordered The Classic Pork Xiao Long Bao, Crab Meat Xiao Long Bao, and Shanghai Pan-Fried Soup Buns. The Crab Meat Xiao Long Bao stood out as the best of the three that we ordered. It was very flavorful. The Shanghai Pan-Fried Soup Buns were okay. I definitely would get the Crab ones over the Shanghai ones. The dough on them was the perfect thickness and just the right amount of chewiness. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with ample parking. The restaurant is decorated nicely, and there's a counter where you can eat and watch them make the food through a large window. Service is friendly and fast. There was no wait for a table on a weekday for an early lunch.

    Dubai chocolate dumplings
    Danessa L.

    Delicious noodles and Taiwanese food! Try the tofu, they're so crispy and well-flavored. They have a variety of sauces for your dim sum. The crunchy cucumbers taste so good too! The most fun we had was with their dessert, the Dubai chocolate dumplings filled with warm chocolate inside, a thicker skin, and a condensed sweet milky cream for dipping. Small parking lot, but you can park across the street.

    I like a Late Night Spot in San Leandro open to Midnight 7 days of the Week!!! Sign me up Homie!! I've been here a few times already!!! I've had the Tiger Shrimp Prawn Rolls!!! Salmon Crab Roe Fried Rice Beef Rib Noodles soup And they have all been good!!!

    Soup dumplings
    Tiffany C.

    Came in during dinner time in a weeknight and it was a packed house of families having dinner here. We sat at the counter near the area where staff making fresh soup dumplings. Ordered pork soup dumplings, braised beef noodles soup, and beef wrap roll. Braised beef noodles soup was flavorful but beef was not braised long enough. It was a bit on the tougher side. Noodles were freshly made. I enjoyed the chewy texture of the noodles. This is how you know it was freshly made. Pork soup dumplings were good. It was juicy and the skin was thin how we liked it. Beef wraps were also good. Definitely come back and try other items. Will skip the braised beef noodles soup. Over the noodles soup is good but not the braised beef.

    Truffle XLB
    Sharon C.

    Stopped by here for a late lunch and the restaurant was absolutely jam packed! It's a pretty intimate space, so when it gets busy, definitely expect a bit of a wait. The service here is fantastic. The staff were incredibly nice and highly efficient--constantly refilling our waters and clearing away empty plates to make room for all the dishes we ordered. We ordered a bunch of things to try, but the absolute stars of the show were the Sour and Spicy Beef Noodles and the Green Beans. The noodle soup had the perfect balance of sour and spicy flavors, and the noodles themselves were wonderfully bouncy. The green beans were also cooked to perfection with a great crunch. The only real letdown was the Truffle XLB (Xiao Long Bao). I'd honestly skip those next time; I could barely taste any truffle flavor, and they tasted just like regular pork soup dumplings. This place is such a hidden gem in San Leandro! The only major downside is the parking lot, it's really small, and the signs for it are super easy to miss. Other than that, this is definitely a spot you'll want to add to your bookmarks!

    5-star experience through and through! From the food, to the customer service, to the ambiance, this is a cozy intimate place you're gonna want to try! Everything was delicious, seating and service were super quick and efficient! I can't get over how much of a gem this restaurant is and such a welcomed addition to the neighborhood! Their handmade noodles and dumplings are truly spectacular! I used to have to drive a ways to get this kind of great quality noodles but now they're here in our backyard! I can't get over how yummy the dumplings were and how tender the brisket in our soup was! Knife cut noodles for the win! But lots of customizable noodle options when you order. My wife liked wide cut and regular cut I tried before were good as well. Everything was 10 stars! Highly recommend! THIS IS A MUST TRY! P.S. Extra kudos for their SUPER COOL to-go containers! They are built with an integrated shelf system that keeps the soup and noddles separated in an all-in-one package that is sealed for safety and cannot be tampered with! The plastic pull tab to open is integrated into the container itself, similar to a milk carton, so it is also leak (and tamper) proof! So if you're ordering delivery or pick up you're in very good hands!! We did this our first time visiting and it was also a very good experience!

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.

The staff told her we wouldn't be seated unless our entire party was present. About 4 people were late, but they still seated us. The restaurant kind of felt old and somewhat dirty. But hey, it was my dad's birthday. I wasn't paying for lunch. We occupied three tables and ordered from both the lunch and dim sum menus. I enjoyed dishes like shiu mai, pork buns, walnut shrimp, fried rice, fish, and fried noodles. The sesame balls were tasty, but the service was slow, and I had to follow up on our order. I didn't care for the bun with the hot dog or the other noodle dish. Later that day, my daughter mentioned she had found hair in a pork bun and that her cousin had eaten it. She also said every item he picked up had hair on it, which was disappointing. I didn't confirm this with my cousin, but it would have been helpful to have someone inform the staff. Fortunately, no one at our table found hair in their food, which was a relief. Overall, the food that I ate was fine, but I wouldn't make a special trip from San Jose to visit again...unless it's a fambam family treat.
