The last time I ordered Potstickers and dim sum from Yue Club, they were from frozen. Very disappointing to see the quality and size. Last night I stopped to get a bowl of noodles. I asked the young lady if the dim sum is from frozen, and she said yes. Oh well, don't order it. It's nothing like it used to me. read more

When I first walked in, I thought the interior was pretty cute. We sat down at the bar and ordered via QR code, where you could order from any 1 of the 4 categories (or "sub-restaurants"?) that serve food here. I also had to pay at the time of ordering. I chose Yue Club (of the 4 different categories) because I had a hankering for dim sum. Since this was just for myself, I got just one Hong Kong Har Gow and one Siu Mai. The portions were large, but I just didn't enjoy eating it. I think it just lacked flavor and having so much of it kind of made it worse. Also, the Siu Mai came with shrimp on top, which is interesting, but also redundant in my situation since I already got the Har Gow. The mediocre dim sum, combined with the above average use of single-use plastic, leaves me less likely to come back in the future. Hope it gets better in the future! ECO NOTES (Dine-In) Dine-In Dishware: Reusable plate Napkins: Single-use disposable paper napkins (in a plastic packet)* Utensils: Single-use plastic (in the aforementioned packet)* Water cups: Single-use plastic *The upside is that this was self-serve, so if you bring your own utensils, it's easy to use those instead. read more

I was craving dim sum so badly so I decided to try the dim sum set from here! I'm so indecisive so getting the set meal was the perfect option for me. It came with: Shrimp Dumplings (4pcs), Black Truffle Siu Mai (4pcs), Salted Egg Yolk Buns (3pcs), Shanghai Pan Fried Buns (4pcs), House XLB 6 pcs, Deep Fried Shrimp Balls 3pcs. You can order online and it's super easy! Pick up was also quick, the interior was super cute and inside had other food choices such as sushi! I will come back to try other food options. Lots of parking in the front. The dim sum set was really good! -1 star for the packaging because everything was pretty cramped together and it didn't look like other yelp reviews or the menu photos :( The shrimp dumplings were juicy and packed full of shrimp! The siu mai were flavorful and very delicious. The salted egg yolk bun texture was really good and soft, I love the interior salty egg yolk. The fried buns were yummy, I could taste the ginger and meat harmony. The deep fried shrimp balls were good but looked different from the photos lol. Finally the XLB was my least favorite because it was dry and the skin texture was pretty hard. However the rest of the dim sum was really good! Definitely give this place a try! read more

Ordered delivery from Yue Club last night, as they, along with the rest of the SAGA Kitchen restaurants are some of my family's favorites. What we got was old reheated food - gummy barely edible shumai, buns with filling that separated into oil and paste, reheated rice. I will not be spending any more of my money here to my disappointment. read more

Duplicate Yelp, one for each concept/business??? Sorry, but I am so confused... Was I in the city (SF)? Or LA? Way too trendy for Alameda. SAGA - "Locally-owned virtual food hall" Slurp shop - Ramen Yue club - "Authentic Cantonese Dim Sum Cuisine" Koharu - Japanese Cafe Quality/Quantity - Food was 5 stars! We ordered one dish from each business concept: Kohara - Chicken Karaage, hit of the meal. Deep fried, so slightly biased... If you are following, you know I love deep fried food. Good flavor, and the sauce was the bomb. Slight hint of heat, but NOT overwhelmingly spicy. SAGA - White Tiger, smaller than expected, but the flavor was on point, better than expected. Slurp Shop - Meyer Lemon Shio, flavors were good, including the broth. Expected serving size for the quality and price, but more than enough for a single meal. Yue Club - Beef Ball Dumpling, plating could have been better, but again the flavor was spot on. Additionally, the quantity was expected for the quality. Atmosphere - Food hall concept??? Virtual food hall concept??? First time here, but the lady that greeted us did not seem to care. Was told to NOT move chairs around and order through the app on the table. Normally it is pretty easy, but since there are 4 concepts/businesses here, it was not as user friendly as one would expect. Small local business or businesses, not sure how many businesses are here. Cool decor. Robot to deliver our food, which was NOT necessary??? So other than the entertainment value, no additional service. We also watched a couple other customers NOT know how to "finish" their service with the robot, etc. Plus one customer ordered ramen and it spilled on the robot. Street parking, no problem as we came late at night. Numerous to-go orders, very consistent, congrats. Kitchen staff working hard, and plenty of kitchen staff. I saw at least 5 team members. Not sure if that is due to the 4 concepts/businesses. Open 5 days a week from 11:30am to 8:30pm, closed Mon & Tue. Service - N/A, self service. Had to get our own sauces, utensils, and napkins from a self-service station. The phone website where we placed and paid for our order predicted our food to arrive 29 minutes after ordering. After 30 minutes, our food started to slowly arrive. We got our last dish almost an hour later. And it did not come in the order of appetizer and then entree. It came as it was made. Price - $54 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2020. We will be back for the food. Can I suggest adding some human customer service? At least say hello and smile as customers walk through the door. read more

Yue Club is part of the cool Saga Kitchen offerings, serving up dim sum in a no frills, no vibe, no "experience" environment. Still, we ate in the common dining area, very clean and lovely. I really liked the staff -- very friendly and helpful. The gf, pooch, and I ordered a smattering of items: ========================================== * Deep Fried Shrimp Ball [$7.45, 5.0 stars] -- Best of show. So bad, but so good. * Shanghai Pan Fried Bun [$7.45, 4.5 stars] -- Loved the 3 buns. * Fried Rice with Shrimp [$7.45, 4.5 stars] -- beautiful HUGE portion, delicious. * XLB [$9.95, 4.0 stars] -- good, not great...and not a lot of soup. I liked that 2 of them had an injectable "liquid". Pricey for 6 pieces. * Spare Rib in Black Bean Sauce [$7.95, 1.5 stars] -- inedible. So fatty, and mostly bone. * Hong Kong Har Gow [$6.95, n/a] -- didn't try, but the gf was silent. In conclusion: ============ Probably best "to go", but then again, I don't like lukewarm/cold dumplings. But, I didn't know prior to coming in. read more

3 stars for the food. 4 stars for the delivery convenience and the packaging! Saw the 4 stars for the Yue Club and had to try it. The har gow was a good size and tasty. Truffle Siu mei meat seemed kinda airy to me -- not like real pork and I didn't taste any truffle flavor? Loved the black bean sauce spare ribs. The fried tofu shrimp wrap was a surprise to me as I was expecting it to be pork with shrimp but was purely shrimp with a drier tofu skin wrapper. The Shanghai dumplings were good. The potstickers were good as well. Nice to find a new place to order dim sum In Alameda but I thought it was ok. The packaging was adorable though and delivery was quick. read more

Yue Club is one of the restaurants located within SAGA Kitchen which operates Koharu, Sachi Sushi, Wok Chi, and Yue Club. It may be confusing at first but you can order from any restaurant menu when you're there, they also serve coffees. The restaurant is decked out with Supreme which gives off a pretty hipster vibe. Parking isn't hard and there is plenty of street parking on both sides of Lincoln. I came here for a Yelp Elite event and I ordered from another one of the restaurants but I've been on search for the best place to get XLBs in the bay so I had to try these out. It was almost $10 for 6 pieces and it came out pretty quickly. They also take Apple Pay which is always convenient. The XLB came with a small side of red vinegar sauce and I accidentally poured it all on my XLB. It was still pretty soupy But didn't burn my tongue because it was cold out and not piping hot. I'd definitely want to try more of their dim sum in the future! read more

Yue Club - Suimai and Steamed Beef Ball Dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - Alameda, California

I had a craving for dim sum and Yue Club popped up as a suggestion nearby for takeout. They are operating out of saga kitchen and have a limited menu. However, you can get the really basic staples like har gao and siu Mai. I ordered: dim sum set meal (shrimp dumplings, black truffle siu Mai, salted egg yolk buns, Shanghai pan fried buns, and beef chow fun) Fried tofu skin with shrimp Lotus leaf rice I am left craving good dim sum from elsewhere. I came home and realized my order of salted egg yolk buns was missing in my dim sum set! I took it as a loss since I didn't want to drive back. What's also unfortunate was my sui mai being raw in the middle. Also, if you look at the picture of the siu Mai, there was barely any black truffle in sight and I didn't taste the truffles. Lastly, what was deceiving was their lotus leaf rice, which had a picture of sticky rice lotus leaf wrap (lor mai gai) and I thought I was ordering that but didn't get that. I pretty much got fried rice. If you do end up ordering here, double check your order before leaving the premises and make sure your food is cooked through! read more

Yue club is part of a food collective called Saga Kitchen that includes a handful of different asian cuisines. Yue's focus is on dim sum. Went here for their dim sum set meal $40 and we were served by a robot waiter. It seems like a cashless venue, as you order and pay by clicking on a QR code located at each table. There are about a handful of tables outside on the sidewalk and they have 4 hooks on the wall outside for pet leashes above a synthetic grass carpet - so you can enjoy a meal outside with your pets beside you. Dim sum was good with quality ingredients for all the dumplings. The Dim Sum set came with 6 soup dumplings that had 2 red vinegar vials that you can inject into your dumplings. Also pictured: 3 black steamed buns with lava salted egg yolk, 4 shrimp ha cao and 4 pork/shrimp xiu mai in the steamer basket. The black ceramic platter contained 4 pan fried meat bao buns (really perfect sear and crispy bottom combined with fluffy steamed bao bun wrapper) and a crispy tofu wrapped roll (cut into 4 pieces) that contained shrimp inside. This is plenty for 2 people, good for 3 to share, and enough for 4 to taste and nibble or snack on. It was nice to sit outside too. Inside has about 7 to 8 tables for dining. Note: utensils, napkins, soy sauce, clear chili oil are inside and do not come out with your food in the Robot waiter - so be sure to pick those up beforehand. The only thing I wish they improve on is the type and amount of dim sum dipping sauces available. There was only soy sauce and red chili oil (vinegar only comes with soup dumpling orders). No mustard or chili sate/pepper flakes. It is overall a decent deal for all the dim sum you get though! read more

Yue Club - Dim Sum Near Me - Alameda, California

I preordered from here in addition to the Yelp Elite perk from last week. Preordering felt like a nightmare. The website leads you to UberEats which only provides delivery, no pickup, but an option to order the salted egg yolk bun. Tried calling the number listed 3 times during hours and no answer. I ended up ordering via Yelps GrubHub but there was no option for the egg yolk bun. I arrived for the event and only had to wait a few minutes for this order. Everything tasted amazing and my 9 yo son loved it as well. A couple things were missing though and I should've checked my bag before I had left. The black truffle siu mai had no black truffle... I noticed that some people had the black truffle topping and many others didn't. I thought maybe the filling was infused but none of us noticed any truffle flavoring. We also had no sauces included in our order... no soy sauce, chili, or the vinegar sauce that typically comes with the XLB. Such a bummer because this just enhances the flavors of the dumplings. read more

10 points for presentation! The salted egg yolk buns are delicious and so strikingly beautiful. The yolk custard inside is so sweet and gooey. I would order a box of just those! My partner and I ordered the dim sum meal to try a variety and it was yummy. I think there could be a bit more variety of textures and flavors, but overall a good experience. read more

When the best thing you can say about a restaurant is the food didn't make you physically ill... Houston, we have a problem. We ordered from here after seeing that a new spot had opened in what USED to be Alameda's best Chinese - Alice Bistro. Hoping against hope that it was the same folks/cooks, we gave them a shot one night when we were craving a bit and had no energy to cook AND Xing Yuan was closed. Long story short? With the limited menu, we were expecting the dishes to all hit, especially at launch. I don't care if the food arrives a bit cold or anything like that, but if I'm paying more than $10 for an order of fried rice... It can't be this creepy monstrosity as pictured. The chicken looked for the life of me like fried tofu chunks, so at first i thought the order was simply mistaken. But when i bit down, and that salty hammy "cheaaaaaaaaaap chicken bits" taste hit, ugh. Also, somehow despite ALL these factors, the dish was completely bland - WHAT IS TURNING THE RICE BROWN?!? Not joking when i say i would strongly recommend picking up whatever passes for fried rice from the frozen section of Safeway before ordering from these guys again. The other shoe to drop? The fried rice was the BEST dish. They got progressively worse from there. The orange chicken was... Well, I've never had chicken shaped like mini pizza slices, that tasted like really meaty taffy before. Anyway, one star for being open in covid times, not messing up the order, and delivering on time; one for not making my family violently ill... And that's it. No more stars for you. The pricing is just flatout CRAZY given the competition and the quality of the food here. To be clear, if every item on the menu were $3-4 cheaper, this would probably be a solid 3 star restaurant. But yeah, if it's gonna be this bad, it's GOT to be cheap. I'm now doubly sad Alice Bistro is gone, and replaced with this travesty. As always, i hope they turn it around and stick it out... But without my help, for sure, for at least six months. read more

Yue Club - Chicken (?!?) Fried Rice - Dim Sum Near Me - Alameda, California

Deep fried shrimp balls are my absolute favorite, so good. And the wonton in hot snd spicy sauce are very good.

Late post... Sorry i had ordered this back in January, as well as Sachi Sushi but had reviewed them and not Yue Club. Ordered from here as I was also attending the Yelp elite event, we got the dim sum set meal. It looks like some of the selection changes as to what their availability is. Our description for the set meal was shrimp dumplings, house XLB buns, siu mai, egg yolk lava buns, and beef chow fun. What we received was the pan fried buns, xlb dumplings, siu mai, shrimp dumplings and the chow fun. The dim sum set meal doesn't not include the chow fun now. There was a bit of hiccup with the order but they were able to rectify it very quickly. The dim sum was hot and tasty. It came it a cute packaging and presented nicely. Everything was tasty and I'm not a huge fan of siu mai but I think the truffle change my mind about it. The pan fried buns were devoured by the kids and they really enjoyed it, I was looking forward to trying the egg yolk lava buns, oh well..... there's always a next time. read more

Boyfriend wanted some Dim Sum for lunch so we tried this spot out and ordered like 3 different things. SOOOOOOOO good we came back for dinner and ordered a few more things. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to read more

Great concept for being a part of a collaborative restaurant that houses several different take out options. Knowing that each menu (restaurant) is prepared by a different chef, I'd come back to try the other spots even if the dim sum was not good but thank goodness we'll be back for dim sum too! Firstly we loved finding a place to get dim sum at 3:00 on a Saturday afternoon! If you grew up eating dim sum you know that if you want fresh dim sum on a weekend you gotta get there early and it's a lunch/brunch meal! We'll be coming here for dim sum for dinner some day! The Really Good: Black and Gold Salty Egg Yolk Buns: Bread was moist and light while the filling was sweet and salty and oozes to make you smile! Fried Tofu Skin with Shrimp: Skin was light and crisp... a little bit oily but not overly oily. The shrimp fillings had a good amount of shrimp and was seasoned well. Wonton in Hot and Spicy Sauce: If you're expecting a similar dish popularized by Din Tai Fung, it's similar in taste but don't expect it to be sitting in a puddle of the sauce that you can drink. This version had meaty wonton drizzled with a really flavorful spicy sauce. Perhaps a little bit more sauce could have been added (or given on the side) but it was still really good! Good with Potential: Pan Fried Shanghai Buns: The bread was steamed perfectly.... moist and light... and the filling was seasoned well and was a decent proportion to the bread. It looked pan fried but could have been more crispy on the bottom. The texture was barely crispy. OK but Pass Next Time: Shanghai Dumplings (XLB): Nothing wrong with these dumplings but I've had better... the flavor was good but the skin was a bit thick and there was no soup squirting out when you eat the dumplings. With other things other things on the menu that look good I'd probably pass on this and try something else. Then again... XLB may not be the best when taken out and it eaten right away! Overall very good food and the convenience of getting dim sum anytime will have us coming back. read more

Yummy! I've literally been craving dim sum for weeks and Yue hit the spot. I ordered the shrimp balls, Hong Kong Har Gow, and potstickers. Everything was cooked to perfection and despite the fact that I was about 45 min late to pick up my order, everything was still piping hot. I wanted to make sure my order was sustainable, and ordered through the Dispatch Goods website, that way my take out order was served in reusable containers. The whole process was seamless! read more

I've been looking for some options for dim sum during SIP. There was lots of good Yelp reviews on Yue Club and the fact that we get to have dim sum for dinner, that was incentive to try. The presentation of the takeout boxes is very fancy and beautiful. They are so nicely packaged, and makes it so special even though it's take out. The food is a bit pricey, but they make sure the presentation is well worth it. Their prices are definitely higher. It would be a treat. The food though, is good. I pre-ordered it at 5:30 for the food to arrive at 6:30. It arrived at 6:15, but maybe the food was made early and have sat there for a bit. We live just down the street on Lincoln but the food was unfortunately a bit cold. The bun of the B/W salted egg yolk bun was really light and fluffy. I just wish it was hotter. All in all, I would order again and recommend it. I'd just try to order when I'm ready for the food. read more

First off I didn't know this restaurant at 2 other restaurants in one whole spot. 2nd, I didn't realize that a robot delivers your food. So right off the bat not your typical dim sum place at a Chinese restaurant with the ladies pushing the cart. The first thing I ate was the beef katsu sando which was good. The next thing I had was the fried tofu skin with shrimp.. this is where things turn bad. I took a bite of it and something tasted weird. Didn't taste like what I normally order at a dim sum places. I took another bite and realized the shrimp was still raw and uncooked. It was liquidy... I looked at the siu Mai and noticed the shrimp wasn't fully cooked as well. In the picture you can see a couple pieces looking gray still and not fully cooked. By then I started questioning if everything was uncooked even though the outside seemed cooked. I couldn't eat the food anymore if I kept guessing if it could be uncooked or cooked. I shouldn't be able to guess myself. A gift card or food on the house was never offered, but a full refund was. Even if a gift card or food on the house was offered, I wouldn't take it. I wouldn't come back again. read more

Our favorite dim sum takeaway in Alameda. Food quality is good because you can distinguish the minced meat within the beef ball meaning they uses lessor flours as compare to the one in other dim sum place. Same thing for Shiu Mai.. not sure if they put msg but I cannot taste that which is good...they cook it when u order therefore all the items are still moist and hot...even though the wait time is 30 mins it definitely worths. If you can fix the online ordering system that will be great..can we order as a guest without creating an account? And or accept Apple Pay making the ordering process more seamlessly? read more

They're brand spankin' new, so I'm gonna cut them some slack. I'm so excited that a spot like this has opened up right by my house! Yue Club serves dim sum in the cutest dang to-go boxes I've ever seen. I was so excited to open them up and dive into what was inside. I ordered the pork/black truffle siu mai and the Shanghai pan fried bun. Siu Mai (1.5/5): I was so disappointed. For one, it's expensive, so I had high hopes. I was missing my spot in SF, so figured I'd get my fix. The siu mai was so soggy that the wrapper completely fell apart and was sitting in a mini pool of grease. The meat was so hard and chewy and SALTY. It may have been refrigerated and reheated or something, because that texture was w e i r d. I got through one and decided that was enough for me. Thank god I had a coupon and didn't have to pay full price. Shanghai Pan Fried Bun (3/5): I figured this was pork, but the site didn't list any ingredients, so I took a chance and went for it. It was good! But so, so soggy -- like it was dipped in grease and put into the box. I'll prob give the restaurant a few weeks to perfect everything and order again. It definitely was tasty but so, so greasy and unlike any bun I've had before. I'd say that it's because it was delivered, but I can literally see the restaurant from my house, so they shouldn't have been sitting for long. Speaking of Delivery: There is no option for pickup. I live across the street and still had to pay a delivery fee lol Ordering: The ordering function doesn't work properly on Saga Kitchen's website, and all the menu links are broken. I wasn't even sure if Yue Club was open, but I saw them on Grubhub, so I went ahead and ordered. There's also no listing for ingredients when you're ordering, which is challenging for folks who have allergies. Ultimately, I think Yue Club and Saga still have some kinks to work out. The ordering process is confusing and it's unclear if all restaurants are open or just some, since it's a collaborative kitchen kind of thing. I'm a little hesitant to try the other spots, but will give it some time and come back once the kinks are all worked out. Now excuse me while I down a pitcher of water and find something else to eat for lunch read more

This restaurant is part of a ghost kitchen collaborating with 3 other restos, called Saga Kitchen. I ordered their dim sum set meal, which was not bad for the price($39.99). I would have given them 5 stars but they were out of the black bun with salted egg yolk that I was sooo looking forward to...what a letdown as they didn't advise they were sold out when I picked up my order. They substituted it with mini pork steam buns!! So bummed! Anyways, the rest of my order was good and there was a lot of food! read more

I ordered something yesterday and was disappointed with the food I got. The filling inside the Har Gows were not fresh-tasting. The box that the Har Gows were packed in was full of large water droplets. The Shanghai Pan Fried Buns looked and tasted legit except the filling consisted mostly of cabbage. It was mostly dough and only small amount of filling, unlike the photo shown on Yelp. The Fried Sesame Balls were mini in size. They were sparingly coated with sesame seeds instead of being fully coated. The black sesame paste filling was tasty though. I don't think I will come back again. read more
