    I ordered take out of their soy sauce chicken ($30) and BBQ pork ($21). The chicken was moist and flavorful- just the right balance of sweetness and saltiness. On the other hand, the bbq pork was wayyyy too fat. There was hardly any meat, I basically tossed the whole thing away. A good BBQ pork should have the right mix of meat to fat ratio.

    BBQ Pork is tender and flavorful, will order again. A little bit disappointed about the most popular soy sauce chicken, the white meat is chewy, didnt have a chance to try the dark meat, I think some people like this texture, but I like a bit more tender. I still like to give 4 stars because I know this is the texture of free range chicken.

    Finished eating at the San Leandro location around noon time today and ordered 2 double milk custard to go. By the time I got home, discovered that lid was not on tight and spilled for 1 item. Called store, requested refund via credit to my credit card which was used to settle the bill. Restaurant declined insisting that I come back to restaurant. I did not wish to do that on account of travel and gas. By the time I took the second one out of the bag, the bottom was brittle and fell off. Customer service, to say the least, needs a lot of improvement.

    I decided to take start off the New Year by being grateful, taking my friend to lunch, a wonderful lunch at that! Service was ok, they give you a pad to order from, comes in English or Chinese. We ordered their specialty fish and pickled veggies, spicy and numbing but we all liked it, we opted for noodles to pair with it. Then we ordered sweet and sour spareribs, I've always had a tangy tastebud, then the ultimate Bbq pork which a special that I've yet to have anywhere else, it was the best tasting bbq pork. We ordered a dessert of sticky rice sticks that was intended to be crunchy but it wasn't so I'd skip that, not really worth it.

    I had another great meal at Jin Gege last month. The food tasted great, I was thrilled to find someplace open late, and my Cantonese craving was definitely satisfied. It was 8:15 at night when we arrived. If you come late, you'll actually sign in on the kiosk at the adjacent Yao Yao restaurant. We were 7th in the queue and were seated in 5 minutes, woo hoo! After scrolling through the available items on the tablet, I finalized the order and sent it to the kitchen in three minutes. The food started coming out really fast. The vegetables took the longest, and they were served in 15 minutes. Super fast service! That night's late dinner included salt & pepper wings--I was dripping in sweat--like hand me a towel so I could dry off sweaty. We also got sauteed pea leaves, and since I didn't see beef stew won ton mein on the menu, we got an order of beef stew and a separate order of won ton. I MacGyvered myself the soup I wanted. ha ha! Thank you to Jin Gege for coming through again while I was in town.

    Picking up roast duck rice plate for mom

    Review is for Jin Gege rice plates and Chinese BBQ: roast chicken, soy sauce chicken, BBQ pork and roast pork, duck along with various congee and noodle dishes. This is Hong Kong-style food and not Americanized Chinese Food ala the Panda. I usually visit to get my mom the roast duck rice plate or combo meat which she enjoys. Usually, she thinks places make their roast duck too salty but Jin Gege does a good one in her opinion! Place your order via their website to minimize any wait time. Usually ready as promised. Rice plates average $18. Located in the Greenhouse Marketplace with plenty of shared parking.

    Jin Gege was a brightly lit, clean place. We were offered seating immediately and a tablet to place our order. We had a little trouble with the tablet but were assisted promptly. We tried the green beans, several dim sum dishes and the Malaysian cake bread. All was very good

    Came here with the family for a Sunday night dinner. The takeout line was extremely long, so I assumed the food must be popular. Surprisingly, the dine-in area was pretty empty. We ordered through a tablet, which was convenient, but the food itself was a mixed experience. Most of the dishes were extremely oily, which made it hard to enjoy them. The cha siu was especially disappointing. It was mostly just chunks of fat rather than lean, flavorful BBQ pork. I was also really looking forward to the clay pot rice, but it was a letdown since it didn't have that signature burnt, crispy layer at the bottom. Overall, it was just okay. Not terrible, but not somewhere I'd rush back to unless the quality of the dishes improves.

    Gai lan is decent (4 stars)

    5 stars for the bbq but other dishes were just a bit too oily especially the egg plant. Here my quick take for you foodies: Pro tip: - You can order non bbq foods such as pickled soups from next door for a more diverse Chinese meal straight from the tablet by clicking on the sorta hidden button (last item on the right menu) Food (4.5 stars) + Excellent bbq meats especially the roast pork with its balanced of fat and meat ratio, perfectly crispy skin and generous portion for a full order + 3 item bbq combo is good because you get a taste of everything. The soy sauce chicken is really good as advertised and I'm not a chicken person when it comes to Chinese bbq. Duck is very lean but juicy so it's also very good. We also got the cha su bbq pork. Its reddish colored and bbq char taste is unique compared to others because it's more fatty than others. I actually like it but I can see traditionalists maybe not so. + Gai lan also has a soy based sauce that can be too much after eating all of the savory bbq ~ Eggplant clay pot is very good but just way too oily. Service (3-4 stars) + Seated quickly with hot tear at the ready and food came out fast. Even our clay pot was out within minutes upon ordering on their intuitive tablet. - My ice water was not refilled as usual with many Chinese places Ambiance (5 stars) + Graded on a scale here because there are lots of good Chinese hole in the walls. This place is nice for a Chinese bbq. + Efficient ordering system and I like the ability to order from its sister restaurant next door

    We got seated properly upon entering. After placing order on tablet, the food service was slow. First, I noticed they MICROWAVE their bbq dishes before serving, which is out of my expectation. The bbq 3-item assortment we got portion are 50% bone. It costs $31 and half is inedible. Shrimp fried rice was a disappointment. The big chunks of overcooked scrambled egg and rice were not cooking incorporated. Heavily poured cooking oil on the Chinese broccoli that made the whole thing unpleasantly oily. The hot milk was probably the only good out of all the dishes.

    2 item rice plate Roast pork and bbq pork rice plate ! Day 1

    Comfort food at its finest when it comes to Chinese food. Congee is home cooking style and our favorites! All the roast offerings are excellent. Roast pork crunchy skin with thin fatty goodness and ask for the sauce and you will get hooked. They have combo plates and huge soup bowls and you really have to drop by and pick the favorites. Roast pork, roast chicken, baked chicken, duck and bbq pork and many many more. Everybody will be happy on both sides of this place, yaoyao side or jon gege side all delicious traditional recipes. :)

    Chicken was velvety and moist. Didn't give any extra sauce tho which is standard to come with. Service for take out was about 15 min wait. Pretty inside booths for dining in. Not bad if you're in the area

    Came here with my mom on her suggestion - it replaced the old Fusion Pot that used to be here, but it seems to be similar owners from what I can tell? (the same restaurant empire that does T4, Fusion delight, etc). We got the har gow ($8), the roast duck plate with rice ($17), and my mom got an extra pork dish ($17). Pros: - Easy parking lot, and easy ordering system with an tablet - Pretty cute aesthetic interior, with booths, nice tea mugs, and a vibe that doesn't quite match the casual Chinese food, but I don't mind. - Efficient service, most of the servers can speak English, Canto, or Mandarin. - pretty diverse menu that includes dim sum (kinda random but I like it), rice dishes that you can eat on your own, and jook. - my favorite was the roast duck - it was super tender and well priced in my opinion, for $17. I feel like this is a hard dish to make at home and it isn't readily available unless you're eating at a Chinese banquet, so this was a nice surprise to see on the menu. - Nice hot tea included. - They let us stay for a long time to chat Cons: - Surprisingly I can't really think of any, which is surprising because this isn't really my favorite food. Wouldn't mind coming back

All 5 of us walked out full. The banchan is refillable. We loved their japchae, juicy cucumbers, and potatoes. The medium beef combination came with 3 bowls of rice, lettuce, and a salad. All refillable. The quality of the meat is good. The meat on the bone was unique but really good. I haven't seen it at any other spot before. I think it was oxtail. The staff member cooking our meat did a great job. The spicy cold buckwheat noodles come with vinegar and mustard on the side. You can add as much or as little as you like.

Everything was definitely made to order and I really appreciated how piping hot everything came out! It was definitely a good reminder for me to be patient, because wow I definitely burned my mouth a few times BUT it was totally worth it. It's been quite awhile since I've had a solid home cooked Korean meal that was somewhere other than my typical go to spot or just me making it at home. The portions were generous, the flavors were well balanced, and the hospitality was fantastic. The decor felt traditional, which I haven't seen in awhile so it was very refreshing to me.

    a chicken katsu that measures out to two meals, great deal alert!…read more so I have been here many times, tried the chicken katsu, hawaiian bbq chicken, aloha bbq chicken, and white island fish, which is about half the menu, and always great and always filling so a chicken katsu comes with two scoops of rice, one scoop of mac salad, a small bed of cabbage, some steamed brocolli, and three crispy and juicy pieces of chicken. There are two dipping sauces, a plum based katsu sauce, and a soy sauce hybrid. The katsu sauce has a little bit of heat, but mild enough that my SO whom normally does not eat any spicy, can handle it. Which ever combo or item you pick, it's outstanding. Because the items have a lot of food, I usually skip the appetizers. So for either lunch or dinner, you have two meals out of any items. Service is great, I usually order on the phone and pick it up, but ordering in person or online is fast, staff is great and friendly. the decor is simple and the place is very clean. There are about seven tables and parking can be limited when the place is busy.

Also had the hamburger steak lots of rice underneath the patties and not enough gravy. The beef patties were large but it no beef flavor; more breadcrumbs. Service was very nice the girl at the counter was cordial. The ambience was that of a cafeteria; a few tables white paint. I was hoping the food would make up for sparseness; I will try it again maybe different choices and maybe a better review.

I got the Tom Yum broth, and asked for a side of white rice which is free. The broth was super tart and flavorful, like mama noodles which I love. There were ingredients that you'd typically see at hot pot spots like beef, lamb, spam, tofu for proteins, and spinach, cabbage, corn, etc. for veggies. Lots of noodle options, and the sauce bar, although small, I really enjoyed the sesame sauce, house chili, and the spicy garlic sauce. They even have perfectly medium-cooked fried eggs that I felt went well with the tom yum broth. We were conservative with our ingredients because we didn't want to accidentally have a $40 bowl of soup, but we were under the minimum so we had to add a few more to get it to 0.80 ounces. At that minimum, our bowls were a very reasonable $13. The only con is that it's a bit small inside so I can see it getting annoying on busy weekends especially as people crowd around to choose ingredients. Luckily on a weekday late lunch it was pretty dead. Other small con is water is served in small paper cups so we had to ask for refills often. Small gripe but with spicy soup, water is needed and in large quantities to offset some of the spiciness. Service was amazing, prompt and friendly. Overall, solid spot and glad we got to try it!

    I've been curious about Malatang for a while since these spots have been popping up all over the…read moreplace. Basically, you walk in, grab a bowl, and pick out whatever meats, veggies, noodles, etc. you want. Then you bring it to the counter, they weigh it, and that's how they charge you. I've always been kind of hesitant to try one because I was scared I'd end up with a $20+ bowl by accident. I was excited to see that Master Gua Malatang & BBQ opened up near me, so I finally gave it a shot. They charge $14.99 per pound with a minimum of 0.80 lbs, which honestly isn't bad. I tried to be smart and picked mostly light stuff like spinach, sprouts, and tofu. I avoided heavier stuff like corn on the cob or beef balls. When I went to weigh it, my bowl came out to 0.65 lbs, so I went back and added a little more meat and veggies to hit 0.85. My total came out under $13, which is a great deal for how filling it was. I got the satay broth, which is beef, shrimp, and fish-based with a peanutty flavor. It wasn't fishy at all, which I appreciated. My partner got the tom yum broth and I thought it tasted just like Mama brand instant noodles, in a good way. You also get a side of white rice with your soup, but you have to ask for it. Meat options were beef, lamb, and pork belly. Only downside is that all the meats are kind of fatty. Also, they give you tiny paper water cups. If they're gonna do that, they really need to have a self-serve water station or just give people bigger cups so you don't have to keep asking for refills. The service was great though. The lady working was super friendly and helpful. If you're worried about the price, I recommend just filling your bowl with what you think you'll eat, weighing it, and then adding more if you need to meet the minimum. They also have a sauce bar so you can make your own dipping sauce, but it would be cool if they put out some suggested combos for people who don't know what to mix. Overall, I'll definitely be back. This place is perfect for a quick, comforting meal especially if you're nursing a hangover.
