    The food is so good. Always huge portions. The fries and fried chicken are my favorite hehe The bittermelon is not that bitter and was good! The eggplant tofu was sooooo good!!! The veggies are delicious. Food is definitely on the oily end but hey that's the best part of eating out They give you cookies and oranges as dessert for free.. my favorite. The cookies are SOOOOO GOOD. Staff is always so nice.

    This is one of my favorite places in alameda. Good price, big portions and the staff is super friendly. Always love coming back to this place :)

    Won Ton Soup with Zucchini

    I went back to try the rice plates, and I was impressed with the portions. I ordered Mongolian Beef and Fried Rice. The food was fresh, hot, and tasty. What's lacking is a complete menu for lunch plates. Usually lunch plates include a small soup or egg rolls. I tried to add a small soup, and I had very limited choices. I had to settle for won ton soup.

    Hole in the wall but serves up huge portions of food at a reasonable price. Ordered lunch specials with beef with broccoli with fried rice and sesame chicken with chow mein. Loved they give you the option of choosing thin noodles or the thicker noodles. Food came out pretty fast, well seasoned and not too salty. Beef and broccoli was cooked to my liking. The sesame chicken was cooked in a thin batter which I appreciate as many places will use a lot of flour and not much chicken. I did not get that here, which is great. Again huge portions, we had 2 take out boxes full of leftovers. We then ordered beef chow fun and salted fish and chicken fried rice to go. Those boxes were also packed to the brim! Beef chow fun was pretty good but the salted fish and fried chicken needed more salted fish. Will be back to try other items on the menu. Server May super friendly and welcoming!

    Walnut Shrimp Lunch Special - Pass on this

    Limited range of Cantonese food from noodles to rice dishes. The things they do make, they do make well. Went as a group for lunch, no more buffet - that's in the past, but now they have gigantic portions of Salt & Pepper Pork Chop, Peking Pork Chops, and especially gigantic Seafood Pan Fried Noodles. Appeared to be a whole bag of noodles. They also do a Chicken and Veggie Pan Fried Noodles which is also big. We tried requesting a Tomato Beef Pan Fried Noodles or a Chinese Beef Stew Pan Fried Noodles but they couldn't do it. Said no Tomatoes....and no Beef Stew. Pass on the Walnut Shrimp.....They're also well known in Alameda for their Almond Cookies...3 for a dollar. Parking can be a challenge on busy Park Street.

    I grew up eating at Genghis Khan and I miss when they were a buffet before the pandemic. Even after my family still comes here for large family parties. The food may not be top tier Chinese food but it does taste pretty good and you get your moneys worth for the amount they give. The service is usually pretty quick, friendly and accommodating even when I pop in for a lunch plate or for pick up. I know its wishful thinking that they would become a buffet again but im still a loyal customer even with all the other Chinese options on this side of Alameda.

    Our 7 dishes for dinner!

    This is now my favorite Chinese restaurant in Alameda. Huge portions, extremely tasty food! May, the server is the best. She told us that 90% of the orders are takeout. Note that the restaurant is no longer buffet nor Mongolian BBQ. -- just sit down or takeout Chinese since the pandemic. Do you like leftovers? Cantonese Chinese food? This is the place for you. A no frills restaurant but the food more than makes up for it. My neighbors brought this food over a year ago and I finally returned twice this week-- once for dinner (7 dishes for $95) and lunch (3 lunch specials and one chow mein for $50). I picked up their party menu for a future event I'm hosting and the prices really continue to look reasonable. Our favs: salt and pepper chicken wings, bitter melon chicken, eggplant tofu, string beans beef, special order of salted fish/chicken fried rice for dinner. The lunch specials include a huge amount of rice or chow mein and your main dish -- we loved the shrimp and mixed veggies, basil fish and string beans and the chicken and tofu (looked like a whole container of tofu on the plate!). You may have to wait a bit for your food if dining in because it seems they are short handed. But be patient because your taste buds will be dancing when you finally taste everything!

She also recommended the wonton and some cucumbers but we ended up just getting the wonton in addition to the noodles. They prepared our foood quickly and we had it to go We took our food to the alameda brewery and as soon as open the noodles - it already smelled so good. Those noodles were amazing!!!!

About 15 seconds after we got our menus, that one of the servers was hovering over us. We were trying to make our decision but she would just not leave us alone, and kept pointing out options. It felt more like pressure than anything. Once we ordered the food came fairly quickly. The wings were incredibly flavorful, I'd order again in a heartbeat. The dumplings were delicious. My biggest complaint was how pushy the server was. I wanted to leave but I thought my niece wanted to stay so I didn't say anything. While we were leaving my niece said she was very uncomfortable there, but didn't want to say anything. The food was delicious, but we both agreed we'd probably order delivery next time. Our in person experience was just too unpleasant.

It's getting harder to find places in the Bay Area that still do it this way, mostly because restaurants just don't have the space anymore for carts to weave between tightly packed tables. That alone makes this place feel a little special. The food itself tastes fresh, and yes, the hot sauce passes the test. I've had a few unfortunate (and slightly traumatizing) encounters with off-tasting sauces during the pandemic, so now I always do a cautious smell-and-taste check first. They also serve "tofu fa" (tofu pudding) with a sweet ginger syrup, which was a pleasant surprise. It's one of my favorite desserts and not something you see often at dim sum spots these days since it's not in high demand. Definitely brought back some nostalgic, childhood vibes. Just a heads up, this place gets busy quickly. If you can, try to arrive within the first hour after opening. Otherwise, be prepared to wait a bit, it's popular for a reason.

It was definitely appreciated later that evening for dinner: Sesame Paste Noodles w/ beef - Ok, so lets get this out of the way, these were the clear winner. Hands down! Delicious and creamy noodles in the best sauce ever! Future me will be sitting in this restaurant, fat as heck, slurping up these noddles, with a big bottle os Tsingtao. Spicy Won Tons - These were the 2nd favorite, Yummy wontons dancing in chili oil. A classic. So good! Sizzling Shrimp w/ Rice - This was definitely the coolest dish out of the bunch. Shrimp and veg in a tasty sauce over a bed of rice crispies -esque rice. The best part was the snap, crackle, and pop of the rice when the shrimp was poured over. I loved how the veggies were sauteed but remained a little crunchy. I love when my veggies aren't completely cooked to death. Scallion Lamb - Like the name suggests, tons of thinly sliced lamb, cooked up with every scallion ever! This was really yummy when we first had it, but this was excellent after a few hours when the flavors married together. We had all of this and some beers! Such a perfect meal for a perfect rainy day.
