Ended up going to Chong Qing noodle house and it was a smart decision. We walked over and immediately greeted by the very nice lady. We said to go so we grabbed a menu and sat down. The lady approached us and asked if we needed reccomendation. I said I wanted dried noodles so she recommended the Zha Jiang noodles. 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!!!! It was so flavorful, bouncy noodles, tender meat and together it was perfect. I did wish it comes w fried eggs.

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.

For a group of 8, I waited about 30 minutes which isn't terrible. For food, we got a variety of dimsums, noodle, and soup. Some standouts: soup dumplings have a thick wrapper and lots and lots of soup = yum. Mala chicken feet is a fun alternative to the classic steamed chicken feet. I liked the refreshing spicy flavor and the snappier skin. Pork ribs were really good and tender, meat always slips off the bone. We got a coconut pumpkin soup which was delicious too. I also love the soft tofu dessert cart! The ginger syrup is not too sweet, but the tofu itself is a bit gritty. Not the best, but not a lot of places still serve this. Not so greats: the bbq pork puff pastry was mostly pastry and not a lot of bbq pork. The sweet and sour pork had good flavor, but there was too much batter on some of the pork pieces which threw off the texture for me. Overall, classic spot with a lot of selection. Definitely wasn't my first time here, and definitely won't be my last.

I knew I wanted good Chinese food in a clean, safe area--not in Oakland, but with food just as good. We found Hong Kong City Cafe in Alameda, and the reviews looked promising. We walked in around 8:20 p.m., and the gentleman at the front let us know they closed at 9 p.m. I appreciated him making sure we knew before we sat down. We ordered some of our usual dishes so we could compare them to our favorite Chinese spot. The pork fried rice was good, but it had a little too much shredded lettuce for our liking. Thankfully, the pork was super tender and flavorful, so I would still give it an 8/10. I ordered the Wor Wonton Soup, and it probably had the best broth I've ever had. I can't explain the flavor--it was just DELICIOUS. It came loaded with pork, beef, shrimp, chicken, and shrimp-filled wontons. My husband ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken, and we both agreed it was the best we've ever had. I think the char on the vegetables really makes a difference. We also tried the Walnut Shrimp. It tasted more natural than other walnut shrimp we've had. We wished the shrimp had a little more crunch, but it was still really good. Overall, this was a 4/5-star experience. We wish we could have stayed longer, but they were closing, so we didn't want to hold them up. There was also a table of about 10 people drinking that made the restaurant really loud. Obviously, that's not the restaurant's fault, but it did affect our experience.

The broth was salty (but I love that) so I enjoyed. For the lunch plate, the friend rice was literally just rice fried with a scrambled egg. If you're into the healthier/plane fried rice, this is for you. If you want the salty, combination fried rice, don't do this add on. The chicken itself was VERY breaded and VERY sauce heavy, so if you're into that, this is for you. Personally, I like to taste the protein so I will probably opt for a different dish.

However we did request 3 highchairs, and they only apparently have 1 available. Seating is available both inside, as well as outside in a covered area next to their parking lot. We definitely way over-ordered despite the larger headcount. However, the food pacing was really off. We only had a few dishes come out initially, which everyone just picked at while chatting away. And it wasn't until quite a bit into the meal when the dishes started coming fast and hard. And next thing we knew, the table was piled high with food that all seemingly arrived at once. The portions were pretty sizable, and the food quality overall good to acceptable. They have a pretty large menu, so there is no shortage of options to choose from. Parking is available in their private lot, which is a huge plus.

It is a circular building located at the marina with nice panoramic view of the harbor and the yacht club. We were in a party room with good privacy. I took a peek at the main dining hall and it is quite nicely decorated with high ceilings and chandeliers and large windows with good view. The banquet food was okay, especially considering the location. It cannot really be compared to the best Bay Area Cantonese restaurants. We had Combination BBQ Platter, Deep Fried Shrimp Balls, Teriyaki Sauce Beef with Mixed Mushrooms, Sautéed Cuttlefish and Chicken, Sun Dried Scallop Soup, House Special Tea Smoked Chicken, Lobster in Garlic Butter Sauce, Smoked Sea Bass, and Yangzhou Fried Rice. The ones I liked were the House Special Tea Smoked Chicken and the Lobster in Garlic Butter Sauce. Portion sizes were rather generous. Service was decent, food came out at a good pace. Overall it was a decent party.

I found it very relaxing to eat while watching the rippling water. Recently, I was here on a weekend. I ordered Hot & Sour soup (sm) and Tomato Beef Chow Mein-Hong Kong Style. It's really nice that they offer a smaller bowl of soup for dinner. The taste of the soup was perfect. Years ago I was told hot & sour soup is good for your circulation. The Tomato Beef Chow Mein was good, but I thought the portion size was a bit small. Was this chow mein for one or two people? I was expecting a large platter. Instead it was enough for 1 person. Maybe you're supposed to share it and order other dishes. Hong Kong Style chow mein costs more, but it's good if you like crispy noodles. Of course I will return and try other dishes!

( This had been on my radar to DoorDash) Suprisingly I was seated quickly as it was 12:30 on a Sunday. The menu is quite extensive. I'd been craving chili sauce dumpling and I saw those on the menu and ordered spicy combination noodles. At the waitress suggestion and reading previous reviews I opted for the hand pulled (warning they are a $1 more). Service was quick and I was also served a pot of nice oolong tea. Now the dumplings were spot on thought I had to add more chili sauce. The hand pulled noodles were ok. Maybe because I'm not a big chowmein person and prefer the chowfun noodles, I found them too chewy for me. Also I had to add the chili sauce too. I also ordered to go greens and Black eared mushrooms. There is plenty of food and I have food for two days as I have rice a home to go with the greens. I think I'll stick with New Gold Medal though.
