They have Great takeout! The Dumplings & wonton were awesome! No dine-in here though.

Elite Dumpling is as elite as it can get - especially during the entirety of the pandemic! 5/5 for delivery and to go orders and consistency for it's medium greatness. There are obviously better dumpling places, but for the sheer fact of their business operations, they deserve a 5 in my book. I've been ordering consistently since the pandemic and for every pay-per-view UFC fight and 49ers game. By far, this has been the most consistent place for delivery and to-go orders during COVID and even now, during the endemic as they call it. Elite is always opened and never takes longer than an hour for your order to go in, be prepared, and picked up/delivered. This is a strictly to go only place and they use all third party online ordering service, so pick your poison! Located in an old strip mall by Harbor Freight and a laundry mat, it's not the most difficult to find parking but it can get a little chaotic depending on the time you go. So if you're opting for delivery, it's worth it. Huge selection in their menu for dumplings (cooked and frozen), on top of other Chinese entrees and sides, plus a little dimsum. I mean you can basically get all your Chinese food cravings from here without having to leave your house. My top go to orders are always (order through DoorDash): Dry Sauteed Garlic String Beans (11.95) - Must order. Eat your veggies and you can never go wrong with green beans and garlic. It's a little oily but the wok hay you get is the umami that brings out the garlic and beans together. It's topped with some pickled veggies and soy sauce. Pork & Shrimp Dumplings with Green Chives (11.45) - Comes with the standard 12 pieces and steamed. They are juicy and dense dumplings with a thick wrapper so it doesn't fall apart. Pork and shrimp are a fantastic combo with green chives and you'll get the burps for sure. Pork Dumpling with Corn (11.45) - Something about corn and pork together in a boiled dumpling is just chef's kiss. The corn is sweet and the pork is juicy and they really come together. Simple but delicious. 12 pieces of dumplings, enjoy to share or all for yourself. Shanghai Soup Dumpling (7.95) - The coveted XLB dumplings that come with 6 pieces and for the price, you honestly can't beat that. I have had worse for more and I have had better for more. But these are standard in my book and you get a decent soupy inside. The dough is thin enough but the top where it's pinched is usually the thickest part. I try to just eat the bottom and around the top so I don't get full easily haha. Combination Chow Fun (13.95) - This is easily one of my favorite things to get from them because you just can't get the same flavors from your wok at home! It is on the greasy side, but they don't skimp on the proteins. You get beef, chicken, and shrimp in this and the noodles are stretchy and got a nice chew on them. Spicy Wontons (10.95) - 12 pieces of spicy and juicy wontons for your table! Dare I say that this is better than Din Tai Fung? They use a super thin wonton wrapper, but the filling is dense and they smothered the dumplings in a spicy chili oil and topped with sesame seeds. Always a great appetizer especially if you like spicy. Pork Potstickers (8.95) - For the price, you get a juicy meat packed 6 pieces of perfectly crispy bottoms and the delicious dumpling dipping sauce to go with it. I am always a fan! If you noticed, I have used the word juicy a lot to describe my favorite items and they really are. There is usually soup busting out of the insides when you take your first bite. Always eat it hot or whenever you get it. It is not the same with you reheat, but it's still not bad. For the price, you are getting your bang for your buck, especially in this economy and for the portions. Elite Dumpling is the elitest and they really figured something out here. It will continue to be my to go ordering for dumpling cravings. read more

TO-GO-ORDERS-ONLY Let me begin by saying I've been to China and Hong Kong. Not all over China but enough that I have an educated opinion. These are really good dumplings! No pictures, I already ate everything. I'm coming back to Elite Dumplings as soon as possible to eat my way through the menu. I'll update reviews as we go along. I can't wait to try some of the wok-fried dishes. The bowl of soupy won tons looks great too. We brought home 24 dumplings and they were gone instantly. I should have bought more. Whatever magic orange spicy sauce comes with the dumplings is very tasty and very spicy. I'm going to guess it is made out of Scotch Bonnets so hang on to hand holds and fasten your seatbelts! I mix it with vinegar and soy to use as a dipping sauce. Delicious! The dough is obviously made in house. I see that many people have commented on the thickness of the dough. It seemed just right to me. It is substantial enough to stand up to cooking while holding its valuable cargo but the dough is not overly thick. It tastes great. Lamb Dumplings: I recommend you try these. Tender and delicate. Really delicious. Many people won't try lamb because they had an experience where the lamb tasted gamey. You can try these with confidence. Sesame Seed Balls (desert): These are great! Nutty but just right, not overwhelming at all. Warm them up in your toaster oven and serve them with a side of vanilla ice cream. I'm sitting by my computer waiting for all the, "Thank you", responses now... read more

I consistently come here for great Chinese take out. Call ahead and put in your order for pickup. Good food, fast service and although they have increased their prices through the years it's still relatively affordable for the quality and speed. Frozen dumplings are good too so I usually stock up on my favorites when I'm running low. If you buy frozen dumplings from Costco, the choices here are a much more traditional alternative. read more

This review for House Cafe has been sitting in my drafts for abt a year now...place used to be Incline Chinese....then House Cafe and now Elite Dumpling... don't think it's the same owners as the female owner was super friendly, smiley and welcoming....not so much today. Straightforward and no nonsense. Place has similar entree items like noodles, pork, chicken, beef and a seafood items with the addition of fresh dumplings (siu mai, chive and meat dumplings, potstickers) and frozen ones to cook at home. This visit ordered the following: * Beef Pancake - savory scallion pancake with thin slices of beef and cucumber - good 4/5. Pancake was a little thick but okay as it was crispy on the outside and slightly chewy * Shanghai Soup Dumpling - not much soup, thicker skin...not bad but just a preference for a thinner wrap - 3/5 * Siu Mai - pork dumpling with shrimp. Other than a darker colored wrap it was delicious. Pork is a little fattier which is fine by me. Great flavor 4/5 * Chicken Chow fun - wide rice noodle, bean sprouts, green onions and plenty chunks of chicken - that's a big plus in my book as most places really chop it to pieces that it's doesn't even taste like chicken!... noodles had a slight "woks breath" (smoke) which I like 4.5/5) Nothing fancy about this place as it's only been open (well, new business name) for about a few weeks and still working out the kinks. Example: when you order online it has a special requests section...well they don't read them...for the chow fun, I noted to add Chinese black beans which was not added...not a deal breaker but probably best to call that special request. Overall, 3.5 - 4 stars and will return as they have a wide variety of dishes! Safety protocols followed with sanitizer at the table and masks required. Plenty of lot parking read more

This is my go to dumpling spot! The food is so good. The dumplings, soup dumplings, salt and pepper fish, and pork buns are all so good. They do not have seating, but everyone takes it to go. read more

Super solid spot tucked away in the corner of a small plaza by Harbor Freight. I ordered several items for take out for dinner. Pork Dumpling with chives - This is my top 5 favorite dumpling combo and this place did not disappoint! The pork was juicy and succulent, and the chives gave the dumpling a level up in texture. If I honestly should have bought a bag of their frozen dumplings to take home and store when I have that dumpling craving. Singapore rice noodle - Honestly, you can never miss with Singapore rice noodles, the super flavorful curry with the pork bits and soy bean sprouts added for texture just makes this dish absolutely delicious! It's fresh, fragrant, and oh so delectable. Thai chicken wings - These wings were okay. They're saucy, sweet, savory, and had hints of spiciness to it. Overall, very solid dish. Very very solid spot for a quick to go dinner! read more

THE FOOD IS DIVINE!!! We literally order once or twice a week!! Recommend the chicken fried rice, beef chow fun (dry), chicken chow mein, chili oil in wontons, soup dumplings and the sesame chicken. They even have frozen dumplings to make at home!! Your dinner dreams are solved, look no further and order!! It is all soooooo good!! It's takeout only so my suggestion is to order off Uber eats or DoorDash bc they have BOGO specials and those delivery services also give promotion % discounts, often 40% which then basically covers the delivery cost/ fees. read more

Elite Dumpling is located in Hayward. I learned about this place in an awkward way. Someone had liked my review of House Cafe, but it was listed under Elite Dumpling. I didn't recognize it, so I had to check it out. Indeed, House Cafe had been renamed Elite Dumpling. Gone are the Teas / Drinks, and added to the menu are Dumplings / Dim Sum. I learned from the staff that they reopened on September 1st. I decided to try the Dim Sum (Shao-Mai and Shrimp Dumpling), Custard Bun, and the Black Pepper Beef Lunch Special. The staff were friendly and engaging. There was a wait as they had to steam the Dim Sum. Soon my food was ready. They also gave me a complimentary dish to sample -- Mixed Vegetable Fish Fillet. The food was good, and I was full from sampling all of it. I need to make a return visit to try out more of their menu. read more

So. Good. The variety of chicken and vegetable dumplings they make are wonderful for someone like me who doesn't eat beef or pork. The chicken and Napa cabbage, chicken and corn, and chicken and green onion dumplings are delicious fresh, and their bulk frozen dumplings reheat beautifully at home in a skillet with a little coconut oil. They're so tasty that they don't need the sauce they come with, though it does add flavor. This is my go to takeout when I'm traveling through Hayward and/or need to run to Harbor Freight a few doors down for some disposable tools. I always try to have some frozen dumplings on hand for those nights when I don't want to cook. They have made dinner a success on more than a few occasions. This isn't an eat-in or sit down place. It's simple takeout in a no frills storefront in a regular old strip mall. Don't miss this hidden gem. read more

My bf and I stumbled upon this gem when we stopped by to get tools from the hardware store next door. When we parked, I saw their big sign and their menu was so appealing so I had to order a snack. I wanted to try their noodles and green onion pancakes with egg but the kitchen was already closed for lunch. The lady was so sweet, she said she can do dumplings only. We ended up getting the XLB and spicy wontons. Omgsh, the spicy wontons are a must!!! The chili oil that came with it was amazing and they topped it with cilantro. It was so yummy. The XLBs were also really good! Very juicy with broth inside. I am definitely gonna come back to try their other menu items. They also sell their frozen dumplings to go! read more

Normally we go to Union City to get any form of dumpling/wonton/xlb, but this was closer so we decided to Doordash from this place. The food was good (not mind blowing but up to par) . We noticed that the portion sizes are a lot bigger than we expected. We ordered: Pork & Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup (very lightly seasoned - which I'm okay with) Spicy Wonton (not the best in the area but it was still good!) Steamed BBQ Pork Bun (very typical - wished there was more filling) BBQ Pork Fried Rice (HUGE portion) Beef Roll Pancake (not bad, it would be even better if there was a strip of green onion inside!) We would definitely order take out here in the future! I want to try their dumplings next time. read more

Great food! Seriously tasty and full of flavor. Every dish we have tried is a certified banger

Great dumplings and other Chinese food. I love that they have a ton of frozen options that are easy to cook in boiling water or with oil and steam to make them gyoza style. They have a ton of different combinations, I got the pork and Napa cabbage this time. My friend and his kids were visiting and we got takeout lunch, the dumplings were really good and they have non pork offerings like beef and chicken. They also have a ton of variations for what vegetable is with the meat. Shumai was also very good and not too oversized. Beef chow fun was ok, a little bland and not too much beef on it but at least the noodles were good and not too soft. read more

Great dumplings! Location is hidden and may throw you off but dumplings are top tier. I have also tried the fried rice which wasn't bad but was just average fried rice read more

This place is literally a hidden gem! If your not from the area you may get a bit turned around as it is tucked in the corner of a minimart just off the main street. Once you find it, it is like being teleported into the BEST dumpling factory. People are literally rolling fresh handmade dumplings when you walk in! The restaurant itself could use a bit of a facelift, it very much so comes across as a hole in the wall. It seems the focus is the food and I don't blame them, why fix what isn't broken? We ordered using a Groupon--WELL WORTH IT! We tried so many dumplings all better than the other and combo chow mein with skinny noodles, EVERYTHING was FRESH and exquisite! The service was exceptional and efficient. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area (or not, worth the drive). read more

When Elite Dumpling is having a great day, the food is on point. But when they're having an off day, the food is not so good and I've had both experiences unfortunately. On a good day, the Pan-Fried Noodles and Chow Fun reminded me of my childhood and the takeout my parents would order on special occasions or when they decided not to cook. The Beef Pan-Fried Noodles were crispy and seasoned perfectly with a good amount of beef, veggies, and gravy. We've ordered this on a few occasions and sometimes the gravy, meat, and veggies came in a separate container and sometimes not. I def recommend requesting this on the side, so the noodles stay crispy. Their Chicken Chow Fun was seasoned perfectly and had the smoky wok flavor. The meat was cooked well and there was a good ratio of it vs. noodles. We have also tried this with BBQ pork (not a fan), but prefer their chicken or beef. But what stood out the most were, of course, their dumplings as one would hope from their name. They're always piping hot and the wrapper has been cooked perfectly al dente. A few times, however, the pork or chicken filling has tasted odd like they've been sitting in the freezer for too long. Anyway, their menu is large with a lot of options. My family and I enjoyed their noodles, dumplings, and vegetable dishes like eggplant, string beans, and pea shoots. Their fried dishes got really soggy in the containers, so you'd want to eat these on-site (if/when possible). read more

Very greasy dumplings, won't come back and waste of money，their price is a little higher than market

Small joint that offers traditional hand made dumplings. They also offer chive, egg and shrimp dumplings, which are hard-to-find! They are THE option for someone who don't eat pork! Love them! read more

Found this dumpling place when I searched yelp and decided to give this place a try to support local small businesses. No dine in, only for Togo. I order XBL, spicy wonton, spicy beef tendon, pork dumpling and Beijing style bean paste noodles with pork. Everything was spot on. It was my first time try Beijing bean paste noodles. It was great and full of flavor. Although, the beef tendon was mushy. I couldn't eat at all. I had many spicy beef tendon from many different restaurants, but the spicy beef tendon dish here was not edible. It was totally a missed. I'd not recommend this dish to anyone. Will come back and try other dishes on the menu. read more

Surprisingly solid! We ordered: - Shanghai Soup Dumplings (7/10): More soup would've been nice, but the flavor and meat-to-wrapper ratio were good. - Dry Sautéed Garlic String Beans (8/10): No flavor notes - really good! Could've been more crisp. - Pork & Shrimp Dumpling with Green Chives (8/10): So juicy! Tasted like the meat was maybe a tad undercooked but couldn't tell for sure? Flavor was great, though. - Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings (6/10): Wings were really small and very heavy on the salt, but otherwise prepared well and tasty. I'd reorder all of these items again and will definitely be back. read more

Please keep in mind that this restaurant only does take out orders and there's no in person dining service. So far, i only ordered the dumpling and they were juicy and tender. I would definitely come back to this place again when i am in the area. I would also recommend not leaving anything valuable inside your car because the surrounding seems sketchy. read more

Maybe my first mistake was not ordering a real item . I ordered via DoorDash.. they had a promo of buy one get one free only on certain items . The two items were salt and pepper tofu and hot and sour soup . Both of those I typically love, especially hot and sour soup so I ordered both... horrible . The tofu is soggy and oily . I put it in the air fryer and still didn't workout . They don't use firm tofu they use the softest one to cook it. The hot and sour soup tastes like they put liquid smoke in it. Tastes weird read more

Lots of varieties of dumplings and Chinese food. We tried mostly the dumplings which were all tasty. They have freebies and discounts when ordering above a certain dollar amount. It's take out only. Easy to order and food was ready when they said it would be. Packed well with plenty of sauce. I want to go back and try some of their non dumpling dishes too. read more

A solid 3 star. Glad I gave this a try since it was recommended. I placed my order with Elite Dumpling through Yelp right before noon and the ETA for pick up was 12:30-12:45ish. I was notified that our food was ready for pick up right around 12:30 PM, which was great. I was expecting a bit of wait because we placed our order around lunch hour and it was a Saturday, but nope, didn't have to wait. Note: Elite Dumpling is pretty secluded. It's situated in the same plaza as Harbor Freight Tools, but at the very end of the parking lot, so make sure you turn into the same plaza! Plenty of parking spots in this plaza. I think they're only currently doing pickups or deliveries. It's a small space inside. There were a couple tables out for customers to pick up their orders. Each order has the receipt and customer name attached so no worries about getting your orders mixed up. Their whole counter is pretty much blocked off with plexiglass, so good on them for keeping this contactless! Hand sanitizers were available on the tables for customers to use as well. It was a quick trip in and out the restaurant. For my family, I ordered: 1) Scallion Pancake with Egg, 2) Fresh Cilantro Bean Noodle (Spicy), 3) Garlic Black Fungus Salad with Cucumber, 4) Shanghai Soup Dumpling (6 pieces), 5) Pork Dumplings with Green Chives (12 pieces), 6) Lamb Dumplings with Chinese Vegetable (12 pieces), 7) Beijing Style Bean Paste Noodle with Pork. Review of each item: - Scallion Pancake with Egg: Taste was unexpected. I was expecting this to be savory, but it turned out to be mildly sweet. The pancake was a bit doughy. I was thinking it would have more of a crispy outer layer, but it might have softened because it was takeout after all. - Fresh Cilantro Bean Noodle (Spicy): I recommend this appetizer. The bean noodles are firm, but has a chew to it. Spice level was mild and adds just a tad of a kick to it. - Garlic Black Fungus Salad with Cucumber: If you don't want the Cilantro Bean Noodle as an appetizer, then this would be my second recommendation. They give plenty of Black Fungus and if you've never had Black Fungus before, they're crunchy. The cucumbers add a hint of a refreshing taste to this dish. - Shanghai Soup Dumplings: Unfortunately, I thought this was underwhelming. For the price point, I guess it's decent, but the skin is thick. Not much soup, and the flavor was a bit lacking. - Pork Dumplings with Green Chives & Lamb Dumplings with Chinese Vegetables: Between these two types of dumplings, I recommend the Pork Dumplings with Green Chives more. The fragrance of the chives comes through. For both type of dumplings, the skin to filling ratio is good. I would say that if you generally don't favor lamb, the gaminess might not be pleasant to you. For myself, I like lamb, so it doesn't bother me. - Beijing Style Bean Paste Noodle with Pork: The noodles got stuck together, but it's probably because this is a takeout order. They're pretty generous on the sauce for this one. The tub of sauce is mixed with plenty of ingredients too. I saw some onions, lots of meat, and some green beans. We had enough sauce to mix our noodles with and some leftover as well. All in all, I'm glad I gave this a try. It's a decent dumpling place close to home. read more

We ordered from here often. The chicken and Napa cabbage dumplings and cucumber with garlic are a couple of our favorites. We ordered tonight and they accidentally forgot the cucumbers. The restaurant called us and we were too tired to go back to get it. I called and asked for a refund of that item, instead, she offered to drop off the cucumbers along with complimentary drinks at our house! They go above and beyond with their customer service and the food is always delicious. I highly recommend ordering takeout from this neighborhood, family owned restaurant. read more

Elite Dumpling - a variety of dumplings in plastic containers - Seafood Near Me - Hayward, California

Not very authentic. But if you don't want to drive too far from San Ramon for some Chinese dumplings, this could do.

Reliable spot for ordering decent food to satisfy dumpling and noodle cravings. I've definitely had better, but it does help hit the spot when I want steamed dumplings delivered at a reasonable price. My go-tos are the spicy won tons and steamed pork, shrimp and chive dumplings. When I'm in the mood for noodles, any of the beef chow mein, chow fun, or knife cut noodles will hit the spot. They're kind of greasy and can have better flavor but are never overcooked. The one thing I wouldn't order again is the sweet custard buns... The custard inside has the consistency of what reminds me of the stuff that oozes out of lava cake, which is much more runny than I think it's supposed to be. The filling also has weird oily separation, which isn't exactly aesthetically pleasing. But overall, I'd order from here again if I'm craving some Chinese flavors. I'm looking forward to trying the Singapore noodles and ordering some of the frozen dumplings to stash in my freezer for nomz emergencies. read more

I have driven all over the Bay Area for pork black bean noodles and Elite's are some of the best I've had! Packed with flavor.

They were okay, but my favorites are definitely the pork black bean noodles and the beef rolled scallion pancakes. Highly recommend! read more

COVID-19-REVIEW This looks like it used to be House Cafe, which was a local favorite for me! I ordered via the Yelp app, as we were coming home from Tahoe on Christmas Day and figured Chinese spots are the only ones open. We found parking right outside, but when I stepped in it seemed BUSY. Lots of bustling in the back kitchen with lots of wok-frying and sizzling sounds.. mmm music to my ears. On the right is a table labeled with Uber Eats, Doordash, and Postmates, for easy pickup for the delivery drivers. It's a super hole-in-the-wall spot but solid Chinese food. They sell dumplings by the bulk so you can make them at home. Everything was delicious. We got some fried rice, chicken corn soup, and a handful of different dumplings. All just soooooo delicious. They seemed kind of backed up when I arrived and I think a customer in front of me was giving them a hard time, because they gave me a free tea on the house for my patience! Which, I guess really is a virtue. Staff is also friendly. So happy that the food is still so good even under new ownership (?). read more

This little gem is located super close to our home and in an assuming plaza next to Harbor Freight. It used to be under a different name before but we never tried the foods at the prior location. On a Sunday lunch, we needed a quick meal to feed a couple friends that is easy for takeout. If you're looking for tasty and affordable Chinese takeout without the overwhelming unhealthy oil that usually come in most Chinese foods, this place is definitely it. We unfortunately didn't try the dumplings but will be back to try! We ordered the beef chow fun noodles, general chicken and salt and pepper fish fillet. The prices were reasonable given the portions, at roughly $10 per dish. There were enough foods to feed all 4 of us for just 3 items + I made about 20 siu mais at home. The foods were pretty tasty! They weren't too oily and salty, had good portions of meat and veggies and had a good balance of flavors. The general chicken wasn't spicy at all as stated, and wasn't too sweet either. The beef chow fun noodles didn't stick together and was well seasoned with sauces. Parking is always plentiful in this plaza, its just not visible from the street until you turn into the plaza. Hope this place stays for many years to come given how affordable and delicious the foods are! Plus its so close to home, its a great option for us when we don't feel like cooking. read more

We've seen Elite Dumpling a few times and finally decided to give it a try after I saw one of my favs - cilantro bean noodles. FOOD: Portion size was okay. All this costed us $59: *Fresh cilantro bean noodles: Good and flavorful. This is one of my favorites but not common so I would come back for this. The bean noodles were chewy. The menu says spicy and it certainly the bean noodles were soaked in chili oil but I didn't find it spicy. *Dumplings (12 to an order): We went with the pork and chive dumplings and shrimp and chive dumplings - average at best. There was definitely not a lot of filling and the shrimp dumplings had one measly piece of shrimp. Pro-tip: if you are going to order the dumplings, be sure to ask for extra sauce. Their hot sauce is bomb! *Salt & pepper pork chops: Meh. Dry and not a lot of flavor. It came with stir fried jalapenos and onions which seemed to fluff up the dish making it look like more than what there was. *Honey walnut prawns: The prawns were good and decent size. I would order this dish again. SERVICE: I didn't expect stellar service but it wasn't even friendly service. I asked if there were peanuts in the cilantro bean salad and he was like "uh...yes, no, yes". Ok, fine, no peanuts, please. It took about 20 minutes for our food to be done. I double checked to make sure there weren't any peanuts and the guy said "no peanuts, no cilantro". No idea where he got no cilantro but I told him that I wanted cilantro and his response was "ok?" and continued to stare. I brought out the container and asked him to put cilantro and he kind of reluctantly walked back, put the cilantro in a togo container and no apology from him. I said thanks and still no response. WHAT TO KNOW: *Credit cards are accepted *Located in a plaza with plenty of parking *To-go or delivery only - their dine in area is blocked off *According to the stickers on the window, it looks like they work with all the delivery apps read more

It was a Thursday evening and cooking was just not in the cards. I'm already ordering...might as well order enough to last another couple of meals. Amirite? On the menu for dinner (and beyond) were the spicy wontons (12), scallion pancake with egg, and spicy garlic eggplant. (I also ordered some frozen pork dumplings for future meals. They come in a sealed bag of 20). Absolutely every dish was so masterfully executed. The crepe (or jian bing) was reminiscent of my first from a food cart in Portland. It took me 3 years to find one locally that was comparable. The crepe was hearty and thick with a nice crispy texture. YUMMERS. The spicy wontons were DELICIOUS! It wasn't very spicy so don't let the "spicy" label deter you. I wished they weren't so darn small! BUT the entree size was good for portion control but there's never enough of a good thing IMO. The spicy garlic eggplant also wasn't very spicy but it had a bold garlic flavor. It might be a tad on the salty side. Excited to have discovered a new local favorite. read more

Went here for the first time and didn't know what to expect. I was at Harbor Freight's next door and thought I'd get something for lunch. I didn't look up their hours so I think I got there when they just opened. They still have it set up for covid with the tables blocking the cash register and back area. I ordered the House Combination Pan Fried Noodles with gravy. At first I ordered it by its number and the cashier didn't know the what the dish was associated with the number. Fair enough, I wouldn't assume the workers would know that, given they have 175 items. When it came time to pay...I guess the cashier wasn't used to a debit gift card. He kept trying to use the "chip" reader but debit gift cards doesn't have one and he didn't even bother to look at the cards, just said the card doesn't work. I told him it's a gift card...you have to swipe it. He didn't even consider that a card could be swiped. Made for an interesting experience. The food was decent. I would go back to try other dishes. read more

So glad I discovered this spot, it's less than 10 minutes from my home. No need to go down to Newark or Fremont for dumplings and beef noodle soup anymore! The beef noodle soup is very flavorful and you can tell they use real spices in their broth (i often find some star anise or other spice bits at the bottom). They give a hefty amount of noodles as well. Sometimes I just share one order with my partner. Usually we order some dumplings too, though. They also sell them frozen (very easy to boil at home). Definitely a new local favorite, but a bit hidden as it's in deep inside a plaza that's not facing the street. read more
