Beijing Bowl - Chinese Near Me - San Leandro, California

See all

We have come here a couple of times now and each time there is a steady stream of people. It's because of how generous they are with their portions, with good food as well. We have ordered the chicken curry, the egg foo Yong (it was not what we were used to), the garlic chicken, and the kung pao chicken. The chow mein has more flavor than the fried rice, but both are standard. The curry was a little strong and not my favorite. My partner wasn't a fan of the egg foo Yong. But we both liked the kung pao chicken and the garlic chicken since both had good flavors. The food is super generous, just over $13 for a two-entree plate that has more than enough food for two people. The only complaint I have is that this place can get so busy that the tables aren't cleaned as often as they should be. In fact, the inside can be a bit dingy. But the staff are nice and at least there is seating when we are looking for some. read more

Beijing Bowl - Two-item plate with half fried rice half chow mein, Kung Pao Chicken, and garlic chicken - Chinese Near Me - San Leandro, California

Good food, great price, great customer service! This is a very good place to get great food especially on those days when I don't want to cook. I do not have any pics but there is a good assortment of buffet items and ordered items come out pretty quickly. You can dine in or take out - I generally take out. read more

This local spot has become our go-to Chinese to-go, whether it's a busy weekend evening or a rainy night. It's no frills but the women at the counter are attentive and quick. The food is varied and solid: my faves are the eggplant and tofu and spicy chicken with fried rice. When time permits, their chicken chow fun is a treat. The portions are large and the prices unbeatable, especially these days. read more

Always a quick bite to eat but the food is good and they are friendly as all hell. I'm here all the time it's a small shop on the corner but plenty of seating to chill out and eat with a good variety of food to choose from including a list that has to be made on order because of what it is. Place is always clean and they will make sure your food before you leave! read more

If you're in the mood or searching for Chinese fast food, you've come to the right place. Conveniently located on the corner of Washington Ave. and Halcyon Dr. before the train tracks, you'll find this gem. There's ample parking that is shared with the other retail stores in the plaza along with disabled parking. Almost any time of day, you'll find there is someone eating at the restaurant or picking up a to-go order. I often see families and people on their lunch breaks here. Now, the place isn't very clean and it's a bit run down inside, but there is booth/table seating available. Once inside, you'll be greeted by a friendly smile and cheery voice. Each time I've visited, there have been 2 young women who worked the counter, both very polite and welcoming. They were able to answer any of the questions I had about the food and offered samples to help me with my food choices. What made this establishment stand out is the generous portion sizes they give you - no wonder patrons keep coming back! You are getting what you are paying for and some :D. Keep in mind, any of the food made with soy sauce will contain MSG (if that's a concern for you), but it just makes the food taste even more delicious. I would compare their food quality to Panda Express but more authentic. I liked their mushroom chicken, orange chicken, and chow mein. If you're looking for catering options, they have that here too! I recently purchased a large and small tray of salt and pepper chicken wings (~108 wings in total) and they were a huge hit at my party - there was none left! Stop by to pick up their catering menus for pricing. I will be back to try some of their other food options as I am a huge fan of their service and supporting local businesses. read more

Our favorite fast-food Chinese in San Leandro! I've tried most of the fast-food places in San Leandro, and this is the best one. Not only is the food good, but the customer service is excellent, which is hard to find at Chinese places. Parking is easy to find since they have a private lot. I can see why everyone loves their BBQ chicken. It's a must-order if you haven't tried it. The BBQ chicken is extra charred, like it came off the BBQ grill. It's flavorful without being too sweet. I love salt pepper pork chops, and theirs is pretty good. Their salt and pepper pork chops are bone-in, which is how I like them. They have more flavor and meat than the boneless ones. I also ordered beef fried rice, which I preferred over the premade fried rice under the warming lamp. It is more flavorful. Their sweet and sour chicken is not what most people use in the reddish color. It comes out more like an orange/yellow, similar to lemon chicken. It still tasted good, but could use more tart. read more

This is good Chinese food, for fast food. It was a little bit dirty inside, the customer service is nice I got there at the end of the night there was somewhat limited selection but overall very good for the price and serving size. read more

Beijing Bowl - Orange chicken, green beans that I had to wait for a little bit and Chow Mei - Chinese Near Me - San Leandro, California

I'm from Sacramento and this is hands down my go to spot when I am in the Bay Area. Their salt and pepper chicken is AMAZING!!! It's so crunchy and perfectly hot every single time. Their customer service is outstanding. I called and they weren't able to answer right away and within two minutes they called me back. 10/10 spot read more

like everyone else said, what great people work here, very patient and helpful and the food tastes good. i would come back when i need help making dinner and can supplement with my own additional veggies. appreciate their generosity. they deserve continued good business read more

I used to come here when I was in high school and the portion size for the price was what got me. Today I got a bowl, chew mean with garlic chicken and 2 vegetable egg rolls. I'm sad to say the price is ok, the food is not. The chow mein has this doughy flavor that made me stop after the first bite. The garlic chicken has a ton of flavor and a little kick. Not bad. Then the vegetable egg rolls....they are crunchy on the outside and much to soft in the center and the sweet and sour sauce its accompanied with has almost no flavor. I'm very much disappointed with this meal and especially that I paid $12 for it. I don't know what they used to do in the early 2000s but I wish they would bring it back to that. I'm down for the price as long as the food is worth it. read more

The food tastes good, especially the chow main and orange chicken. They give you huge servings which is awesome because you can save the rest for the next day. Try "Beijing Bowl" in San Leandro, you'll be glad that you did. read more

Great food. Fast service. Even greater prices! Some of the best Chinese takeout I've had. Definitely recommend the spicy chicken.

Food 4/5 This place I've actually patronized some they first opened. When I lived closer I was more of a regular. Lee knew me and my son who was a toddler at the time. I miss her but she's older now and home enjoying the grand kids and resting. My friend's mom turned me on to Beijing Bowl for the teriyaki chicken. Nice and tender with that perfect grill taste. Before my food allergies I enjoyed many items on the menu like the chow mein, fried rice, pot stickers, Crab Rangoon, egg rolls, hot n sour soup, spicy chicken (a real fan fav). These days I tend to get the chicken Thai salad that's lite, healthy and does not trigger any of my food allergies. Service 4/5 The young ladies who work there are great but I want Lee back. I love establishing rapports and building relationships at my regular places. Lee definitely knew my son and I. Ambiance 3/5 Nothing fancy. Buffet style, Chinese fast food to go. They offer catering too. read more

Beijing Bowl - Chinese Thai salad without peanuts. - Chinese Near Me - San Leandro, California

Long time customer. BBQ Chicken and green beans are great. Customer service awesome. I have one problem and it could be the deal breaker. The place is a mess. Dirty glass when looking at the food. Floors look like they haven't been mopped. Supplies stored in plane view as you walk in. Counter top filled with idk just a mess. Tables had food scraps left for customer, not cleaned. I hate to see this place go down they make really good food. The two sisters are great. read more

"BeiJing Bowl" is a Chinese fast food restaurant in San Leandro, CA. What's Chinese fast food? It's a chinese restaurant that has already prepared foods in steamers or heated trays that are ready to serve. You tell them what you want, and they serve it to you. Beijing Bowl also has "cook to order" entrees as specials. The sign says it'll take 10-15 mins to cook. Most likely they use hot woks, and can cook foods very quickly. Last Thursday I got done with my job in San Leandro, and Beijing Bowl was still open at 8pm. There was a steady flow of customers, which is a good sign. A chinese fast food place with steady business usually means the food is replenished or rotated often. So I went in, looked over the trays, and asked for: Fried Rice with Curry Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken. I also got a side of BBQ Chicken. For rice with 2 items, it's alot of food. You could probably feed 2 people. The fried rice was moist, not sticky, and fairly fresh. I picked rice because it can soak up the gravy and flavors of the curry chicken and kung pao. I liked the Curry Chicken. It was tender boneless chicken, potatoes, onions, and some other vegetables. Nice flavor, brought back some memories. I didn't like their Kung Pao Chicken recipe. It was chicken, onions, and undercooked carrots. Maybe red specks of chili peppers? Peanuts optional. I don't like crunchy carrots in cooked foods. I guess bell peppers are too expensive? Kung Pao Chicken should have chopped bell peppers, scallions, and a dose of red chili peppers. Americanized Kung Pao is usually sweet, savory, and with a little spicy heat. Peanuts give it a nutty flavor. The side of BBQ Chicken was a little dry and tough, I kind of expected that. But it looked good. Overall, a fairly good experience. You get alot of food for the price. I guess smart selections come with experience. I was there one hour before closing, and there was a limited selection. BeiJing Bowl is on the corner of Washington Ave & Halcyon Dr, in San Leandro. Free Parking in adjacent strip mall. read more

I'm going to miss Beijing bowl as my go to fast Chinese food restaurant when I move outta San Leandro! The ladies at the counter are the sweetest and the food is cheap but with quality taste. Super affordable and you get huge portions. You can't go wrong with anything here and here's a tip: if you don't want just chow mein or rice, ask for half and half with your plate! I love the egg drop soup here and wonton chips Literally drooling thinking about this place lol read more

Beijing Bowl - Mongolian Beef, Hot and Spicy Chicken, Egg Flower Soup - Chinese Near Me - San Leandro, California

I probably passed by Beijing Bowl a hundred times and never though about stopping by here. But today I just really felt the urge for some authentic Chinese fast food. Took the leap of faith and tried out Beijing Bowl. To my surprise, Beijing bowl and is very welcoming! It truly has that mom and pop feel because it really is family owned and ran. The 2 young ladies working the counter were very nice, welcoming, polite, and gave GENEROUS portions. They packed it beyond capacity, I'm not complaining LOL. They also gave great care with the food too! I ordered mushroom chicken, and the lady carefully drained the excess liquid before putting it into the to-go box. And our broccoli beef box was starting to leak a little from the sauce, she quickly placed it into its own bag. What service! The food was decent. I wouldn't say it's the best Chinese fast food I ever had, but it surpassingly wasn't as greasy as I was expecting. The highlights were their chow mein, mushroom chicken, and orange chicken. The yang chow fried rice, sweet n sour pork, mapo tofu were not up to the same caliber. But honestly, I love the home feel and the fantastic service! It feels good to support local. Will be back to try out their other dishes! read more

Super affordable, generous portions and the customer service is great! Lily is always sweet and kind

This is our go to in the neighborhood when we are craving some quick Chinese food. The staff is ALWAYS super friendly and helpful. We also ordered large party trays for all of our family events. It's delicious and affordable for such a good amount of food. What I appreciate is that when they're running low on an item you want, they have the kitchen whip up more and make sure your food is always fresh. OH! And the portion sizes are pretty big as well! read more

This place is decent for the price, but not going to blow your socks off. Beijing Bowl serves Chinese FAST FOOD, so its important to have your expectations in check when your considering the quality. We usually get the Curry Chicken with a side of fried rice. The Curry Chicken is good because it has nice chunks of boneless chicken with some veggies such as potatoes and onions. I love to use the rice to soak up the surplus sauce. The service is good. The women who are typically at the counter are always eager to please and friendly. PRO-TIP: If you prefer your Chinese food "cooked to order", then just ask - they have some specials where they are happy to do this for you. read more

I've been going to this place for over ten years and it's never disappointed! This is my favorite place in the city

Beijing Bowl is the reason I wake up in the morning. If I'm smiling, it's because i've thought about Beijing Bowl. If Beijing Bowl has one fan, I am that fan. The food here is so good. They have a very unique vegetarian menu, which I greatly appreciate. The orange tofu is to die for!! The portions are huge. If I ate meat I'd be here every day, you can get a combo with three entrees & one side for less than $11 (veg options are a la carte)! My takeout always lasts me 2-3 days because the portions are so generous. The service is very nice. I appreciate how kind the employees are & how they take the time to get to know you. It has that home feeling a lot of establishments lack now. The ambiance is familiar and kind. It feels like there is a community within here. It's an older building but has a lot of character. Wait can be a little long so call in & order if you're in a rush. Definitely worth it to support such a nice small business though! read more

Pretty impressive steam table and the amount of food packed on my to go plate. I got half half steamed rice & chow mein with 3 entrees, egg plant tofu, shrimp & broccoli and spicy fried chicken that was placed in a separate small container since my plate was overflowing. Well worth the price and quite tasty too! I'll be back again! read more

Service was slow. Food needed to be prepared and it took awhile. But the service was good and the food was delicious and serving size was large. So well worth the wait read more

Great Location , ample parking , surprisingly great value . First time customer , extremely satisfied . Egg Rolls enough for a visit . Steam table Chinese but the freshness and high volume of business ( bringing out fresh dishes to fill the table ) . I had the grilled chicken and a beef and broccoli . Both very fresh and the chicken especially . Women running the business are very nice . Will be back . They also have daily specials which are simply ordered as if in a regular resto . 10 - 15 min wait for those . Big Portions on the 2 item and fried rice . read more

First time. came here. And the food is really good and the workers are friendly. There bbq pork is delicious

Love the food and service, you are getting more than enough of food, I love the salt and pepper chicken

I was in the mood for chinese food and stopped here due to the steady number of people I saw going in. I walked in and ordered the combo chow fun entree special and egg roll. The chow fun was pretty tasty and enough for two portions, but I do think it could've had more meat and shrimp. I will come back and try other dishes. read more

I love variety and this place has it. The atmosphere reminds me of places unused to go growing up in the early to mid 2000s. It it simple and gets the job done. There's two individuals helping you out in the front as best as they can and they are always working really efficient as well as the people in the kitchen. They know is by family name and expect kind of what we want even though we change it up a bit. The food is good, a bit on the greasy side but it's rare for me to have similar foods. The flavour is there and even compliments the other food to pair it and mix it. I'm always looking forward to this place once in w blue moon. The only negative is that it's far from me and sometimes the hot and sour soup is a bit too salty. I always come back here for some Chinese-American fast food. read more

Always good food and extremely awesome service from the staff ! I will make the drive here anytime I want Chinese food. Prices are the best and seriously, full plates , almost shareable depending on your hunger level If you haven't already-- check it out! You will not be disappointed! read more

Beijing bowl has great service and affordable delicious food! The two young ladies are always so friendly and they pile on the food onto the plates lol. For two plates I pay about $25 and there's always leftovers. There is also plenty of parking. read more

Wait into this facility to have dinner? I started to pay for the bill as I paid for the bill. They asked me if I had a penny. I said no I don't. They said well. I need a penny and wanted to argue about one penny. That was embarrassing and unbelievable. Even though I gave him the next to dollar. They wouldn't give me the chance they just wanted the penny. I don't understand these people, but anyway the food was lousy. The service was lousy. Everything was lousy and it ended very pitiful. I did not recommend this facility. It's hard to park. They don't know what the h*** they're doing. I can keep going but I won't I do not recommend this facility read more

My go to Chinese food .Friendly and attentive staffs. Good food for reasonable prices.

It is lunchtime again I came searching for some Chinese American food so I found this place called Beijing bowl. This was a small place around the corner I always drive by and never there to go in because I never see anybody in there. Today I took ace leap of faith to go in for lunch and sure I was so surprise. All the items on the list were fresh and not over greasy like most Asian Scoopy food place. Being a vegetarian it is quite difficult to find places that has a huge vegetarian option luckily the food gods shine the light on me today. This place had a great menu for vegetarian food and they would make it fresh so it was not sitting around for hours on end. I got an order of the braised tofu with steamed rice and a order of eggplant with tofu with the chow mein. Both of these dishes came out fantastic and they also have a really good deal on eggrolls for $1.50 you get two vegetarian eggrolls in the air and I came away with a delicious lunch to take home which lasted me for both lunch and dinner and will definitely come back to this place again. The service was a place with two really great ladies in the front helping me through it all. This definitely is one of the best Chinese food Scooby places around move over panda and Asian delight you got a new competition in town. One thing to note that I noticed there is no pork dishes so I believe this place Carries only beef chicken and tofu as choice or protein. If you're looking for something different definitely give this place a try I guarantee you will not be disappointed. read more

Beijing Bowl - Chinese Near Me - San Leandro, California

This place is the go to for me when coming home late from work, and have no energy to cook. Hot sour soup and an item from the special orders board or their vegetarian tofu dishes. Or if I need a quick dish on the go from their steam table... Spicey chicken. BBQ chicken or their orange chicken and veggies. The family that runs this place is very hardworking, and generous with their portions. The 2 girls are so sweet and remember all their customers. They would often let me know when I have been missing. Not a fan of their egg rolls. And not a big fan of their potstickers. But huge fan of their service and consistency. read more

This place is great! Heaping portions of chinese American food at a great price. If you don't eat a lot, a two item combo is more than enough for two meals. The lovely young ladies that run the counter do a fantastic job as well. The service they provide is always friendly and fast. If something is running low just ask and they will have the talented cooks in the back make more in a very short amount of time. Probably the best Chinese take out in San Leandro. read more

I first came here over a decade ago. It was fast, cheap, but delicious and they gave you so much food! Well, I recently started coming here again, even though I live out of the area. It's worth my 30min drive to get there and I go several times a month. When you first come here you think this place is like a best kept secret, except the secret is out! Seems like everyone, locally, knows what's up! There are lines a lot of times BUT they move quickly and having a line is a great sign that tons of people love the place. To be clear, the wait is never more than like 10 mins and you just can't beat their pricing!! I can make two meals out of $10, easy.! Now let's talk about the food... it's seriously delicious, it's fresh, always hot, and never greasy or oily like other Chinese food I've had. We're talkin packed with flavor here! Also, what you don't see in the hot bar, is that they have a great menu of other dishes, too! The BEST honey walnut prawns I've ever had. I used to always get orange chicken everywhere else but to me, the Garlic Chicken from Beijing Bowl is wayyyy better than any orange chicken I've had! The shrimp with veggies are hard to pass up because the veggies and shrimp are always cooked to perfection! This place will satisfy your cravings, for sure. Lastly, I can't end this without talking about how wonderful the staff are. The two younger ladies and the older man are always so friendly, helpful and quick! They can't be beat! read more
