My fave dim sum place!! Best to get there before or at opening to not wait for a table. We strolled…read morein at 10AM on Memorial Day weekend and were seated immediately for our table of 15. Some tables get iPads to order, others paper menus to mark off and submit--not sure if there's a method to which table gets what. iPad ordering makes things really easy, especially if you decide to order more food. Food rolls out SUPER quickly if you get here around opening. I love this place for their flavorful, consistently delicious food. Must-get dishes include the baked custard buns, shrimp rice rolls, siu mai, and salted egg fried pumpkin.

No water. No English. Brought out a beer and didn't know that it needed a cold glass. It was a huge place, packed on a Thursday night, with less than a handful of wait staff. One of the dishes we ordered was the marinated cucumber dish, which didn't have any chili oil in the picture but arrived drenched in it.

Omg the beef stew was sooo good, probably best I've had! I love the concept of the dry noodle where you dip your noodles as you eat so the beef stew stays flavorful it was so tasty and tender and good balance of meat and tendon (actually lots of meat!) I ate the leftovers today and cleaned my plate % Service was very attentive and of course the ambiance is beautiful with the indoor trees

Wanted to try something new in the area for breakfast instead of Garden cafe in Castro Valley. It…read morewas okay, a little bland in my opinion for both bowls. The macaroni noodles were different- more chewy like a rice cake ? And the shredded pork bowl was more sour from the pickled vegetables. I liked the milk tea the most, definitely feels more authentic compared to other shops. The toast was good, wish it was a little crispier. We went around 10, we were the only ones there , the plane is very cute and aesthetically pleasing. Service was great and fast since we were the only ones. Loved that they played old throwback cpop songs. I'll probably only come back for lunch or dinner !

Their menu inside and their receipts spell their name as one word...Jingege. Why different on this…read morelisting? There's usually a pretty good line right by the register, so this place is pretty well known by the Asian locals. Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup ($16/2*) First outing here I sat for lunch and tried this. Surprisingly disappointing seeing how busy and popular this place is. The wontons were okay, decent flavor with a strong sesame oil presence. But they weren't that plump and luxurious, just seemed like homemade/amateur versions. Which is fine, except given the nicer restaurant feel, I just expected something more elevated. The noodles were fine, super thin egg noodles that had a nice QQ. BUT their broth was so bland and unremarkable that it kinda ruined the whole experience. I couldn't even taste/detect the protein that made up the stock, just tasted like murky liquid to me. And zero condiments on the table, so I just ate the wontons and the plain tasting noodles cuz the broth couldn't offer anything to the noodles. Womp womp. And their bowl of choice is very weird to eat from. Super tall bowl that if you leave a spoon in there it will sink and be submerged for you to fish out...in piping hot liquid. If I would have reviewed this place just on this one visit, then it surely would have been a sub 3* rating. But I knew I couldn't leave my impression with that one lone visit. Roast Duck - Half ($20/4*) Came back for some take-out deli items and I was handsomely rewarded. Total 180 experience from the soup outing. Their ducks here are slightly more expensive than most others for the area. But it is still worth it imo. They cut it with good skill and even for a take-out box they present it nicely, with the shape of duck still somewhat intact. The skin is not crisp at all but it is very well rendered. Some pieces were not that salty at all but some other pieces are well seasoned, which I thought was strange. But overall a very solid roast duck is to be found here. There's also a big scoop of these tiny beans that are slightly sweet almost like baked beans just not as gloopy. But the bean texture is very al dente, almost crunchy, which I found very strange. Macao Roast Pork w/ Rice ($19/4.5*) This is crazy good...I'll even say special. Super seasoned pork belly is roasted til the skin gets crisp...like chicharon status, except it is just a very thin layer of crispness. So the balance between the sturdy crunch and juicy flavorful meat was practically perfect. It is definitely on the salty side, almost the same intenseness as eating Spam with white rice, but white rice offsets those salty components beautifully. And they garnish this massive plate with perfectly blanched gai lan (Chinese Broccoli) and some other pickled greens that add a nice sweet and tangy component. So between the decadent pork, white rice and diverse greens offerings just made this a complete one stop shop that could make a regular out of me. There's also a Share Tea next door so I've got a harmonious tandem going on here. Lucky Ducky Me yassss!

You will love this authentic Chinese place. The food presentation is on par with how it tastes. The…read moredishes are just wonderful and reminded me how they should taste, unlike the other Chinese café nearby. The service is what you'd expect--typical Chinese efficiency, which is no-nonsense, LOL. No chitchat, just serve. Don't expect your food to come faster than the to-go line, FYI. They don't treat in-house customers as a priority. I'll go back to this place whenever I have a chance. Order ahead if you're in a rush--this is not a fast place. But you can always count on their quality.

Pearl Bay has always been a solid local spot, but their recent remodel and revamped menu have…read morecompletely elevated the entire dining experience. My group and I stopped by recently for morning dim sum, and we were incredibly impressed by the changes. The Atmosphere & Vibes The modern, newly remodeled interior looks fantastic. The space feels much brighter, cleaner, and more upscale than before, making it a wonderful environment for everything from a casual family breakfast to a larger celebratory gathering. They've managed to create a contemporary look while keeping the welcoming energy alive. The Food: A Noticeable Step Up While the new decor is great, the real star of the show is the improved flavor and quality of the dim sum. You can tell they've refined their recipes and perhaps brought in some fresh culinary talent. Here were the standouts from our meal: Baked BBQ Pork Buns (Cha Siu Bao): Absolute perfection. The tops had that ideal, sweet, crumbly crust, and the pork filling was savory, rich, and not overly gelatinous. Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow): A true test of any dim sum kitchen. The skins were perfectly translucent and delicate without tearing, packed with plump, snappy shrimp that tasted incredibly fresh. Siu Mai: Flavorful, juicy, and well-seasoned. The texture was spot-on--not dense or heavy. Egg Tarts (Dan Tat): The puff pastry was beautifully laminated and flaky, holding a perfectly smooth, warm, and subtly sweet egg custard. Service & Value Despite the upgraded ambiance and food quality, the service remains efficient and attentive. Teas were kept hot and refilled promptly, and the dishes arrived fresh and steaming from the kitchen.

So what happened when my friend spoke one to the host? She laughed in her face. We got our food fast, but it was only decent. They also missed a couple items we marked on the menu. And the waiter who was wearing something different from the rest was VERY dismissive when they ran out of a certain item and when we tried to ask some questions. Overall it was a really bad experience for me and my friends which is crazy because they weren't always so bad!

The food was amazing!!…read more The khao soi (curry noodle dish) had great, deep flavor! The curry was not too watery! The pad see ew had a nice, smoky flavor from the wok hei, and was savory! My personal favorite dish was the beef satay with the peanut sauce. The meat was extremely tender, savory, and aromatic. The thai tea was also not too sweet, which is a great thing when you're in your 30s like me . The service was great!! Food came out on time, and waters were refilled quickly.

Most gredients in the dish are pine apple chops, onion, and carrots (one carrot piece seemed to be rotten). The peanuts coming w/ the Thai noodles were rancid. We had to pick them out of our kid's plate. We two adults plus a young kid ordered three dishes and I walked out still hungry. Will not revisit.

Beef Visceral Ho Fun (Flat Rice Noodles) Soup was good, the Beef Visceral was tender and flavorful. It also came with 2 pieces of choy sum. The broth is good, needs maybe needs a little more flavor. Overall good, I would get this again. Wonton Soup was good, the wontons were average size with shrimp and pork. Same broth they used for the noodles. Also came with 2 pieces of choy sum. Overall good, I would get this again. The portions were pretty big so I was able to turn it into 2 meals!!! I came back again already and ordered the same thing a week later!!!

The menu…read moreis pretty large, with more lunch and tea-time items than breakfast options, plus some dessert items mixed in. It's a bit overwhelming at first, but manageable. The place is nice and clean, and service is standard Chinese. Nothing really stood out for me, and I'm not sure I'd come back, but it does the job if you need something late. Service: Standard and efficient Food/Drinks: Large menu with decent options, nothing particularly memorable Ambiance: Clean and simple, typical Cantonese cafe feel 5/10 Convenient late-night option, but not especially memorable

My new favorite Chinese restaurant They called it "New Hong Kong " because of its regional cooking…read morestyle. Better than the mainland China style of cooking. Better ingredients, better cooking ways. That all said: Compared to the rest of the Chinese food competition in the area, the meat portions are generous, meatier, bigger than others, some put too many vegetables to compensate for the lack of meat or small meat portions, the new Hong Kong gives you meatier, generous portions with just enough vegetables to enjoy the food. They used to have or do deep fried whole fish but they discontinued that one. The dining room area seemed small but spacious and clean. You scan the menu via your phone and order from there. If you call to order and no one answers and a Vmail comes in, just hang up and try again later, they are sometimes busy in the kitchen. Staff are accommodating. Will patronize and come back!

Open on Christmas Day. One of the few places open that takes reservations for large parties. We had…read morea party of 17 and wasn't sure where we were going to eat. It was so nice to eat locally and have a good meal with great parking. They are in the Safeway shopping center and share a lot with them. The place is clean and bright, very inviting. Most of the party arrived before us so we were able to easily find our table. We were set next to the fish take, by the kitchen. It was a good arrangement. We had 2 tables with identical entrees. We ordered: Green Beans, Salt and pepper chicken wings, shrimp fried rice (Everyone's least favorite dish), Chow Fun, duck, and probably some other dishes. The green beans were the best dish. The chicken wings were good, but not as flavorful as people hoped, they probably won't be ordered again. The fired rice was a big disappointed, it had shrimp in it, but it lacked flavor. We didn't get a soup. We also had a steamed fish which was really good, coming from a not big fish fan. It was seasoned with soy sauce and was a big hit with the table. Even my picky nephew ate some. We also had calamari, it wasn't a big hit, we didn't even take it home with the leftovers. We all got tea and we asked for ice water for everyone which was drank along with the tea. If you request it they will bring out forks, my brother in law made the request. I was impressed even the kids used chopsticks. I definitely reccomend this restaurant. Especially for large groups. It's set up for banquets. I can't comment on the bathroom, because we didn't use it.

I came here on the weekend around noon with some friends and this place was packed. Surprisingly,…read morethere was no one in line and we were seated right away. I guess this was when it started to get less busy. Within an hour, half the diners were already gone. Service was a little slow. They did not have enough servers working all the tables. Our server barely came back to check in on us. The only thing we needed were extra tea refills. The food on the other hand came out in a timely manner and were steaming hot when they got to our table. We ordered about a dozen dishes and they were all delicious. My favorite dish was the Golden Tofu Cube with Salted Egg. It was a little salty and the inside was soft while the outside was crispy. I also liked the Stir Fried XO Sauce Rice Rolls. It was flavorful, tender and I thought they used the right amount of sauce for my liking. The dining area was quite big. It looked like they had just hosted a party the night before since their speakers equipment were still out. This place did have a parking lot which might look big but it could easily fill up during their busy hours. I was lucky to find an open spot when I got here.

I used to go there years ago and it was really good. Not sure what's happened in the years since…read morebut it is really, really bad. The baked pork buns are good - slightly different in that there's no glaze on them but the outside was crispy and the inside tender and the filling was tasty - they are why I'm giving 2 stars. The honey walnut prawns were inedible - the sauce was hard lumpy globs sitting randomly on top of fried shrimps, truly disgusting. The scallion pancakes were not crispy or flaky - Trader Joe's are better. The tofu rolls were cold on one side, like refrigerator cold, while the other side was lukewarm. The jellyfish salad had no flavor whatsoever, just the very slightest hint of sesame. No salt, nothing. The seaweed salad was decent. The deep fried mochi puffs with meat filling were bad. The outer shell was too thick so the inside was uncooked and doughy. Inedible. And, the cold chicken feet were so tough they were in edible. I didn't know you could make chicken feet like that, so tough. Again not really any flavor, they were just tossed with a little bit of chili sauce and hardly any of that. And no vinegar chili sauce for dipping. I would not recommend.
