I have had probably some where 30 ham and cheese croissants, all are good and a good value. I have had dim sum a few times, also always good. Service is fast and competent. Mostly take out only 3 tables. One outside that almost every day is occupied by 6-8 men sharing breakfast. read more

I'm not coming back here because their donuts need proofing, and they fry them 1 day before. They stopped serving cruelles because the mix is expensive like $300 for $25# bag. I had excellent donuts from another shop, and near my workplace wherecthey make fresh donuts on a daily basis. Just rely this spot on dimsum, and Burmese food on the weekends. Not coming back here!!!! read more

Good hopia, the lady who works there has a poor attitude, which really takes away the overall experience.

Tiny place with plenty of options. $5 for a coffee & apple fritter is great deal. The owner even warmed it up for me on request. read more

Can someone please update me on what ahappened to my favorite Dim Sum place? I used to come here early in the morning before work -- it was part of my routine. When I stopped by this past Friday, I was so sad to see that it had closed. Another person walking by mentioned she came last Saturday and saw it the same way. Yelp still says they're open, but it doesn't look like it's been updated. The lady who worked there was always so kind, always telling me what new dishes they had that morning. I really hope she and the team are doing well. The food was always hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. read more

I loved the siomai here. And I loved the older lady. I've been going here for years! I had no issues, until I went there a few months ago. I only wanted 2 dozen of the siomai, however, the lady continued to grab more and more bakery items. She tried to sweet talk me into giving them to my mom and grandma. I said No, I didn't need 10 or 20 of the other items. Total came out = $250. I only wanted to pay $20. Immediately I said no, and she got offended. I said I only wanted the siomai. She started taking other food out, and even then I still paid $120. The whole reason I went there was to save money. But because I felt bad for her, and also she was so demanding, I just paid $120 and got my stuff. Did not come back after that. read more

Today I was reminded why I stopped going to this place. I came in since I was craving to go dim sum. You come in for one item and you will leave with 5. The lady tricks you, so be careful. She's like do you like this and that and I caught on after saying yes the first 3 times. She will say is this this for 4 people and then ask again and keeps adding more head count. She asked me multiple times I I wanted dessert and I said no. She's nice but very pushy. She say this is fresh and she just made this and she will add it- but of course in exchange for your money. She told me the total was $30 and when she grabbed my card and recounted and was like okay $40! I'm done with big back behaviors here. The food is also just mid. I got chicken and pork sui mai, shrimp roll and spare ribs. read more

Like any other customers who had a bad experience here. I wanted to buy Hopia only and stay in my budget but she's saying she's closing soon and would give me additional items. Kept adding her stuff which I didn't want since they don't look appetizing. I want to be more courteous and stop arguing with her but the woman had no respect to her customers. Keep shoving her stuff. Such a waste of money even the egg tart, they are dry. I could have turned around and leave everything because of her annoying attitude but I try to be civil. I don't recommend to go to this store. It's better to go to the honest owner. read more

We always order the siomai here when we're craving siomai cause it's cheaper - 12 pieces for $10. The siomai tastes good. The lady always ask me to buy more other goods but I just buy the siomai :-) read more

Donut Delight Express - Pork Siomai - Donuts Near Me - Union City, California

This is the greatest place EVER. I had no idea of the savory delicacies hidden within this "donut shop". As someone who regularly drives from union city to chinatown oakland, i'm so happy i don't have to go that far to get such good dim sum +. And their donuts are really good too! read more

This place has been around for years. It is an asian owned bakery, serving donuts, dimsum, etc.. It is a small place tucked in a strip mall. The woman who owns the place can get tricky when it comes to prices of her food so be careful. One day, she will charge you for taxes and some days she won't. Always ask for a receipt! And remember the price she gives you on your last visit because the next time you go she may change it so keep your receipt(s) I like her husband and I wish he would be the one serving but he is the cook. The food they serve is okay. I like their dim sum items. read more

I just came to buy siomai, which should've been around $10. The old lady at the counter kept talking and offering more stuff, then started packing a lot without really asking. When I went to pay, it suddenly came out to $60. I tried to say something but she turned around and went to the kitchen. The worst part is the food she packed looked and tasted old. I honestly just felt scammed. Be careful when ordering here. read more

The food here is pretty good, but the experience with the owner can be frustrating. She's very pushy and often tries to get you to buy more than what you came for. Instead of making polite suggestions, she'll just hand you extra items and say, "Here, this is for you," which makes it seem like a gift--only to charge you for it later. It feels misleading and puts customers in an awkward spot. I've started bringing the exact amount for my order just to avoid the upselling. I recommend reading the reviews beforehand, and if you do decide to visit, stand your ground when ordering--because she will try to push extra items on you. Other than that the siu mai is tasty, good. But I have noticed other food she has set up aren't fresh could be a reason why she tries to upsell. read more

Food is not fresh, neither the donuts nor the dim sum that we had was good. We ordered half a dozen donuts, 肠粉，烧卖，萝卜糕，包子。 Three boxes in total. It was the worst donuts and dim sum that I've had. Nobody got diarrhea so that's a plus. I ate a few bites of each and threw the rest away. If you are desperate for dim sum and can't drive ten more minutes to Newark (next to Lions super market)... well, I still wouldn't recommend this place. The lady had a unique personality. She gave us extra donut holes with our donuts, that was nice. However Concur with all the other reviewers she kept trying to hustle me to buy more. read more

When my friend wanted us to pick up lunch at a donut shop, I was unsure, however it was worth the drive to check out this super hole in the wall delicious Burmese-owned spot! Variety is amazing and I had so much fun selecting through all of their different offerings. Decisions do need to be made promptly and I could see why people aren't in love with their service, however you're not coming for the service - you're coming for the amazing and different food! My favorite were the noodles but I'd recommend grabbing your favorite plus a couple items that are out of your normal comfort zone, would definitely return! Of note, there's no real seating so basically a take-out only. read more

DIMSUM AT 6:45 AM. I'm an early riser and donut shops are often the only place open early in the morning. Always trying to find interesting savory items since I've had enough hotdog rolls, and bagel/croissant breakfast sandwiches to last a lifetime. They open much earlier than Taipan Express and I thought it would be cool to try dimsum and donuts for breakfast. Traditional Donut Offerings: Donut holes were OK, my wife is the household expert and ate all of them but said local places were better. Ham and cheese croissant for the kids had thick cut ham and cheddar which were great but the croissant part was a but dry and we had to force our kids to finish it. Dimsum: Steamed pork dumpling had a heavy amount of basil, not in a bad way, never had it before like this and it was quite good. Har gow was OK as well. Not so great was the cheung fun which my wife normally loves. Super thick rice paper and barely any shrimp in it. The macau pork bun was the first time I've ever had it and I'm sure it's supposed to be better than the one I had. The reason for the overall review is I swear the owner was trying to hustle me. She was adding up the order out loud and seemed to be making up prices on the spot. Our total should have been around $25 but she asked for $42, I looked at the receipt and she charged $14 for a dozen donut holes "accidentally". She also shoved fried fish cakes and vegetable eggrolls into the bag saying I had to try them, I thought they were a free samples for the kid but she charged for them and by then I just wanted to leave and didn't want her fishing the random stuff she threw in out of our order. read more

They don't just offer donuts they also have hot, steamed dumplings and a variety of other foods made fresh daily. For the best selection and the freshest taste, be sure to come early while everything is just cooked and before it sells out. read more

Donuts did not taste fresh and really had no taste was slightly hard. The pork bun was bad. The outer dough literally fell apart as I was eating and very little meat. This place went downhill. read more

This place is very bad I had came in earlier and got a coffee out the fridge and after I took a sip it tasted really weird and when I looked at the date it was very expired it was about 9 months expired it expired in march. There donuts were really cold like it had just came out of the freezer. They just come up with the prices as it go depending on how they feeling. Overall I would give it a 0/10. read more

A 3.5 star hole in the wall! Apparently this has been here for so many years and I never would have guessed if it wasn't for my mom! Hidden in the back corner of the donut shop, lies some delicious dim sum all at great prices! TIP: -when you go inside, make sure you already know what you want otherwise you may end up leaving with more food than you came for, lol. There are steamed items, stir fried and baked items. There are no set prices that I've seen and everything was pretty much given to us in bulk. For example, there was still HK noodles left in the pan and the worker gave us everything for $10. All the items we got were $10 each and I'm not sure if that's the regular pricing of everything. The worker was a bit assertive when taking our order. She always had suggestions and started to pack the food before we even decided. She also gave some food tips. She said the wonton soup is thick enough to be a sauce for the shu mai. And it indeed paired well! The food was indeed delicious and there were some misses, such as the HK noodles. I didn't care for it at all. The food was great and if you need your quick dim sum fix, I suggest! read more

My family always comes here when we are craving dim sum. Donut delight is a hole in the wall, family owned business. It's always crowded when I come, but they have very fast service and I'm never waiting for long. My family always orders their dim sum options, which are tasty and very affordable. If you want a quick pick up to take home and eat this is the place to go! Great service, food, and very affordable(: read more

I've passed by this donut and dim sum shop many times before and they have had lines that go out the door so I thought I would give it a try today since there was only one other customer in the shop and I've been craving some dim sum for a while. Reminder to go in the morning though. I ended up going to this shop around 3ish and they only had shumai left for dim sum and some Chinese pastries. That's my fault for not going earlier. I ended up purchasing $10 worth of shumai (I think it was 5 for $5 and she put in one or two extra). There was one lady working the counter and she didn't come off as super friendly but I could tell she was trying her best since she had just finished explain to another customer why they couldn't sit down to eat. Overall I'm happy with the dim sum I purchased. This is definitely a place where you can get a quick meal to go. I didn't try any of the donuts so I can't really speak about them but they looked nice. read more

Donut Delight Express - Shumai - Donuts Near Me - Union City, California

This place is good if you don't know what you want as the 'owner' imposes what she wants you to have. If you want something specific as I did, you won't get it and have to go back and buy it from on the 'workers' so the same thing doesn't happen again! Buyer beware. read more

This review is mainly for their mung bean hopia! If you're craving Filipino munggo hopia, go to donut delight express. Asian owned but you'll be surprised how close their mung bean hopia is to the old fashion Philippine delicacy! It's only $1/ pc and it doesn't disappoint! Aside from hopia , they also have dimsum and I've tried their shumai and it's pretty good too! read more

Review is for the Dim Sum the older lady ALWAYS try's to upsell you anything and everything I asked for 1dz Chicken Sui Mai and 1dz Pork I ended up w 4 containers 2 which I did not want she told me $50 I said I never asked for other 2 she got upset I almost said #%*£¥ it I don't plan on going back it's been downhill read more

Donuts & Dim sum? Yes please! I've passed by this place countless times but I've never tried it until recently. We came at 8am on Friday and it wasn't too busy. We ordered shrimp dumplings, shui mai, shrimp rice roll, spicy dumplings, bao, and a donut. It all came out to $27. I think what made it expensive were the rice rolls - not worth $10 for 2 servings. The shrimp dumplings were my favorite! It was smaller than usual but I love how there's no extra skin. The shui mai's were also good! My fiancé thought the dim sum's were good as well. Service was okay, the way she would ask us what we wanted felt like she was rushing us lol. She kept saying what about this try this lol read more

I thought I was walking in a nice breakfast spot talked to this lady. And started adding cart everything they have only wanted 5 DOLLAR OF DIMSAM AND THEN THE LADY CHARGE ME 15 DOLLARS FOR EVERYTHING she put a lot of random food in my plastic. I didn't enjoy the service here they knew what she was doing this really made my morning very upsetting. And the food seems to be recooked or just deep fried dumplings. I am very disappointed how this lady move fast to get your money. read more

Awesome Burmese food, weekends are the best time to enjoy, family owned. Every time I go here I always leave happy no matter what. Food is always fresh and delicious. Jen will sell you all the food you desire. You can say no, but its so hard to with all the great food. read more

One star for the customer service. The lady owner is known in the community as impatient and short-tempered. I knew what I signed up myself for. I had a 5 year old with me and i was told to come back in 2hours as they were closing to mop the floor. It was mind boggling as I wanted to order more food but she prioritized mopping the floor over making business transactions. She told me that she didn't want to pay her employee overtime. I braved through and got the food I wanted to purchase and leave the place without slipping and getting more yelled at. God bless her soul. read more

Almost every donut shop in the populated areas of Cali are Asian owned and operated. It is a good opportunity for immigrants to be able to start a small business. And even though I don't go out of my way to eat donuts anymore, I do and like to support these small businesses, especially the ones directly in my community. Sure donuts are in their name, and sure they sport most of the basics. I've tried a few and they're definitely not bad. But from the outside and to the uninitiated eye, there are a ton of other stuff here to get/explore. Walk past the donut case in the front to a tight corner towards the back and you'll see an enclosed steam case. If you go early AM, it will be stuffed with all kinds of Chinese brunch-y items. Lots of steamed dumplings, chicken feet in sauce, tiny pork rib bits in sauce and many things flaky and baked. Steamed Shrimp Rice Rolls ($10/6 rolls/4*) Pretty solid, shrimp actually still juicy and the wrapper wasn't overcooked. Sauce being nice and light soaks into the rolls quite nicely. Siu Mai ($10/dozen/4*) Nice sized and quite juicy. Nice pork texture and flavor with a sweetish edge. The wrapper was a little mushy, but still not bad. Har Gow ($10/dozen/2.5*) These I didn't care for. No shrimp chunks, just mostly that shrimp mousse texture. Spicy Wontons ($10/generous dozen/3*) This was kinda weird to me. First the wontons were really chive-y, that you could see the green interior through the wrapper. I'm not a fan of chive dumplings, if I would of known, I may have steered away from it. Then the hot oil that the dumplings were swimming in had a noticeable tanginess to it, which kinda threw me off. I guess I just prefer a red chili oil. The vinegar with the chives just kept throwing me off, just wanted something more simple. They also have a lot of Burmese items on another menu, but don't really know when those are available. I want to explore those for sure. It is amazing how many different things they can kick out in such a small space. Will brave many more explorations here, kinda like a treasure hunt in a hole in the wall dive. Adventure on! read more

Amazing and friendly customer service. Food was not WOW by any means, but will satisfy a dim sum craving if you have one. There is definitely good value here. My least favorite was the Har Gow. The filling was a ground shrimp whereas other places would have whole shrimp chunks inside. The filling was pretty pasty and probably had fillers. The dough had no chew and was mushy as well. The Siu Mai was good but nothing very uniformed in texture. Usually there will be different textures and chew bits. The chive cake was good, but what surprised me was the wontons in chili oil. Although some of the wrapper dried and got crunchy, the overall flavors were really nice. I'd get the wontons in chili oil again - hopefully execution is better next time! read more

I belong to a group on Facebook, which consist of Mom and Pop shops seeking business during the COVID-19 pandemic around the East Bay. Donut Delight Express was one of them. I have had their dim sum in the past that my cousin introduced me too, but it was my turn to take a trip myself. I had a huge craving for dim sum and by recommendation to arrive early due to sell outs. When I arrived on a Saturday morning, I was greeted by the friendly owners and staff. They had a wide variety of donuts and pastries. I went in an places orders of their chicken and shrimp shumai, shrimp rolls, har gow (shrimp dumpling), shrimp & cilantro dumpling, and lotus rice. The lady there is very friendly and offers a lot of suggestions for something new to try. For me, it's kind of compulsive buying. If I like it, I'll end up buying more than what I originally intended. You know that feeling when you go to the wholesale warehouse or those popular stores we go to at least twice or more a week. It may come off as rude to some, but hey when you're upselling, you do what you have to do to keep your business going. The items I bought for breakfast were very delicious and very budget friendly. I'll most definitely be back to try some donuts and Burmese food! read more

Actually I wasn't even going here. I parked and started to walk to my dad's favorite panaderia for a cookie. As I was passing this donut/dim sum place I remembered he loves bear claws... But when I went inside and couldn't communicate with the lady behind the counter. We tried pantomime (didn't work) we tried pointing (didn't work) A guy at the counter tried helping me... okay, now were getting somewhere... They have a very small selection and no bear claws! I get a few donuts and a couple of muffins, chocolate I could figure out...Not sure they understood my asking what flavor the other one was... Ending up getting a few donuts and like some other Yelpers mentioned they tossed in a few donut holes... The donuts were fine. The chocolate muffin was hard and dry... No teeth were broken thank goodness! went straight into the compost bin! Afterwards I read the YELP reviews. Then I seen they serve or served Shark fin soup!! Hopefully that was in the past. Either way I cannot support a business that would take part in that horrific atrocity!! read more

Would recommend this place to friends and family. They have plenty of varieties from donuts to dim sums. It's a really good place if your craving for some donuts to pair with your morning coffee or just some dim sums for snacks. I'll be coming back soon. read more

I went in for a donut because it was close to where I was at. I walked in and waited 5 minutes to even get someone to ask if I wanted anything. Then an older women asked what I wanted, I asked for whichever one donut I wanted they said it was $2. I proceeded to ask if they took card and she said "no it's a minimum of $10" which is okay I understand but then she proceeded to say "make it ten then and add to your order or there's a bank next door go there"... "go to the bank" and she walked away she didn't even let me answer if I wanted to just make it a box of donuts. I ended up just leaving because I was standing their waiting for them to ask if i even wanted the donuts still and they didn't. The older women was rude and gave lots of attitude. I'm disappointed because it was my first time going their and it's an area I'm frequently around. read more
