    Egg Roll Kitchen is right across from the notorious Chico's Liquor, smack dab in the heart of the hood. Walking in, you're immediately hit with signs laying down the law: no paying with all change, no sneaky business with orders, and you get one sauce per item unless you're ready to part with 25 cents per extra shrimp. Rules and regulations galore. The decor? yeah this isn't my usual spot, but my dad swears by their house chow mein, so I had to give it a shot. I ordered double meat, threw in an extra four bucks for it, and when I opened the box, it looked like the meat decided to take the day off. Seriously, check out the pics--barely a sliver of meat on top. But after a few forks down, there was some. Honestly, it was super greasy and salty. Not my type of thing, but I could see the appeal if I was drunk, car-less, and had to walk here from Eastmont Mall. From that perspective, this would be a glorious find. But if you have a car, just drive anywhere else. If you actually from this area, you've definitely seen the chef in his apron, smoking a cigarette out the side door before, tell me Im lying. Thanks for reading, and until next time, keep those taste buds adventurous!

    Beef chow Mein (9) not worthy!

    Egg Roll Kitchen has been here for literally decades. had the food here a while back (decade or 2 or 3). nostalgia brought me back. sadly, it may have been an off day or the head chef wasn't in or he was the guy sweeping the floors. offerings: fried items, chow mein, chop suey, egg rolls, burgers?, fried rice, appetizers, combos, etc. very limited menu eats: beef chow mein (9 tax included) -sad greasy, chewy noodles with a few pieces of sliced beef, celery, bean sprout, onions, etc. portion size the usual, slightly salty, no other flavors. -thts is the lst chinese take out for awhile, maybe this year. in house for lunch yes in contra costa? 3.5 stars good value but da food wasn't good today. take outs: -little legal parking in area. -panda express does chinese food better but i wouldn't recommend going there. (not a good value).

    This place looked hella suspect but my friend said it was the best Chinese food in the bay so why not. Parking was tough, and the area looked rough. I kept having to look over my shoulder but it's all good. There was a good amount of people coming in and out so that was a good sign. You order from the window, and they have these old school menus with the lettering you pin on a bulletin board, I have not seen this since elementary school. I ordered the dry fried ribs, fried prawns and fried rice. Hella bomb! Dry Fried Ribs were crispy, but super tender inside. The fried prawns were massive and paired perfectly with sweet and sour sauce. The fried rice was ok, it was just rice to me. I recommend coming here in the middle of the week during the day. I would come again

    This place is definitely an oldie but goodie! I had not been here in a really long time, but decided to go for lunch one day and got something really simple. I really appreciated being able to order everything over the phone and having it ready when I got there. Just walked right up gave them. My order number paid in cash was able to go. The food was just as tasty as I remembered. It's one of those spots that if you're not familiar with it, you might be a little skeptical to go in but trust me it's worth it. They still do a lot of things very "old-school" and I kind of like that. I've posted some recent photos of their menu options, but they still have listed on the wall. Definitely worth a try if you were in the area.

    Usually we go next door to Szechuan kitchen but they were closed due to being out of the country. My husband and I decided to give this place a try! The service was excellent, they were very friendly! The prices were cheap and affordable. We order the number 1 combination comes with pork fried rice and 6 fried ribs. The food was absolutely delicious! The only difference between Egg roll kitchen and Szechuan Kitchen is Szechuan gives you bigger portions but egg roll kitchen is slightly better with the flavor.

    Pork is not supposed to be brown, t It should be white inside, red outside,  they are being cheap&don't care about the customers they serve

I used to live in Los Angeles and they're known for their dumplings up in the Pasadena San Gabriel area and these ones reminded me of that.. Next stop, the shandong chicken a.k.a. crack chicken It's sweet and savory think orange chicken on steroids Braised green beans , eggrolls are next level. The homemade ham torn noodles cannot be beat in any of their configurations, especially the spicy. Just try it already!!!

    My friends and I decided to order delivery from Shan Dong, which is one of my favorite places in…read moreOakland Chinatown. This time, we ordered a few dishes to try - the classic sesame paste noodles, Shan Dong chicken, the fried rice with shrimp, and the hot spicy eggplant. Since we did order delivery on a busy Saturday night, it took a little over an hour for our food to arrive. The food was expertly packed and we were given plenty of utensils and napkins. The sesame paste noodles are one of my favorite dishes here, there's a balance of sweet and salty offered in the creamy sesame paste sauce that's so addicting. I've always been a big fan of the hand-pulled noodles which are thick, bouncy and chewy. The Shan Dong chicken is deep fried and coated in a delicious sauce. It is more of the sweeter side if you're looking for something that's spicy. I appreciate that we were given large pieces as well! The fried rice with shrimp is amazing - I love the crunch of the green onion, the softness of the fried egg, and the texture of the rice and veggies which weren't soggy and still held a nice bite. Last but not least, the hot spicy eggplant was a great choice because it's usually the trickier dish to cook as eggplant can turn really soft and mushy. I was delighted that with the way it was prepared, the large eggplant pieces still held a tender texture that did not fall apart. I also enjoyed the sauce that was paired with the eggplant, which is oyster-sauce based and added a pleasant sweetness as well. I'm always looking forward to my next visit and I love supporting Shan Dong!

    You know a dish is good when you tell yourself, "Oh, I'm just going to try a little bit of this."…read moreAnd then you can't stop eating it. This was my experience with pretty much every dish I ordered on a recent trip to Yu Yu Za Zang. I'll admit this is one of those places I've walked or driven past for years and have always meant to try but just never got around to it. But I finally had an opportunity to drag my cousin/regular dining buddy with me. We ordered Yang Jang Pi (also known as Double Skin in some places), regular jajang (spelled zazang here) myun, and tang sue yuk (beef - which is the traditional Korean meat for this dish). My cousin and I are huuuuuge fans of the Double Skin at Great China in Berkeley, so the Double Skin here had a pretty high bar to reach. We were pleasantly surprised to find it more than held its own. The portions of everything were very generous, and the mustard dressing was nice and spicy. Perhaps the veggies were not quite as crunchy as Great China's, so not as much of a variety of textures, but this Yang Jang Pi was still delicious, and I still think about it days after our visit. The jajang (zazang) myun was also very generously portioned and pretty tasty. I haven't had any in Oakland in a while, so hard to say how it compares, but I would definitely eat it again. The beef tang sue yuk was incredible. Again, large portion, perfectly crispy outside, tender beef inside, and one of the best sweet and sour sauces I've ever had with this dish. The vibe is simple and clean; nothing fancy, but I went for the food, so I was fine with that. The service was also friendly and fast. There were barely any people there on a Saturday evening, which made me sad, because the food really is good. I can't wait to try the rest of their menu. They also have soju and beer. Although Hanshin Pocha next door is popular, I could see Yu Yu Za Zang being a decent spot for delicious, very reasonably priced food that one can share with friends while having a couple of rounds of drinks. And in this economy, aren't we all looking for a good deal?
