It was fast service but the two types of chicken I tried were nasty... poor quality and or under cooked. They tasted fatty and soggy. Definitely no Panda Express... It will work in a clench but I wouldn't eat there again. Service was good. Price, standard. read more

Good food choices. Very generous portions of rice and chow mien. They consistently cook food in the back......hot and fresh! And the prices are excellent. Friendly service. read more

If you want mediocre Chinese food with rude service to boot this is your place. Portions are very large which would be great if the food was good. They only accept cash and the place can use some cleaning. read more

Hope this help! read more

1.5 star for food and 1 star for service. This is my first time to visit this store. I usually goes to Asia delight. I ordered 2 combo B and 2 hot and sour soup. Their foods are oily and fatty. And the hot and sour soup is too sour. For their Bbq chicken, it is too salty and over burned. The portion size is ok, I can't even finish half of the plate. Also thier service are good, and the accept cards. Those are plus for 1more star. Anyway, their quality of food is poor. I won't come back again. read more

Decent food, decent price, decent price. Come here often. Their food is well, I recommend the BBQ Chicken and Jalapeno Chicken. Their decoration is fine, they have TV's. A downside about this place is that their food is not fresh. They cook it in the morning and it lasts them the whole day. If you're looking for fresh food, this is not your place. If you are looking for quantity, this is your heaven. They give you a lot of food, no matter what you get. Even though their food isn't fresh, it still tastes good. Once I came early and it tasted well, if you want fresh food from China Cook come early. Or you might be lucky that they ran out of it and had to cook more. They also don't have much variety, which I look for at restaurants. read more

Most disgusting Chinese food I've ever had orange chicken tasted fishy and broccoli beef was very mushy worst experience I've had with Chinese food place looks very dirty and food looks old read more

ok I always come here for one thing and one thing only. The spicy thai chicken salad. I noticed the serving size has gotten smaller while the price has gone up??? Hmmm still prefer the one on washington ( beijing bowl now) there serving size is still good = ) read more

This place is really close to my work. I'm never really a fan of "steam table" food, but I would consider getting some pre-cooked food for a quick grab-n-go when I'm on a tight schedule. The food is really mediocre. Nothing fancy. The selection was only okay, the food was dry and had been sitting for a while. Perhaps, I didn't come at the right time. Price was cheaper than Panda Express. read more

You step up to a fast food Chinese restaurant and you cant expect it to be like a sit down Chinese restaurant. The portions are not consistent. One day you can get some broccoli and beef and it is loaded with beef. Other days you order the broccoli and beef and it is just that, you get BROCCOLI with beef, the beef is there, somewhere, hiding under all the broccoli. They are pretty quick in getting your food and there are quite an array of delicious items to choose from. The sesame chicken is the best, great flavor and goes well with their fried rice. If they had better customer service and the servings were consistent Id reconsider my thoughts. Until then, I still will stop in for a quick bite on occasion, gotta find some good lotto numbers somewhere, even if it's in the fortune cookies. read more

I don't really eat Chinese food. Never been a huge fan. This place is definitely better than Panda Express. You can never go wrong with the BBQ Chicken here everything else is a hit or miss since the food kinda sits there all day. Good if you want a lot of food that's quick and cheap! The service here is okay and it's usually fairly clean. read more

First of all this is a cash only establishment. Decided to give this place a try since for some reason my other Chinese food spots were closed for the day. What I immediately noticed is their prices. They are on the expensive side for regular Chinese take out. 2 entree items with rice and/or chow mein was over $5, closer to $6. That's not including drink or egg roll/pot stickers. The portions are small which added insult to injury. The food was okay, the chow mein was salty and the fried rice was so-so. I just can't give this spot any more then 2 stars. You are better off trying someone else if you're in the mood for Chinese fast food. read more

AWESOME place for fast Chinese food. Really good selection of mostly chicken dishes, a couple vegetarian, one or two beef. Good fried rice and the best chow mein I've tasted out here. At times, the egg foo young tends to be over cooked but in light of everything else, it's negligable. Their eggrolls are off the hook and their hot and sour soup is good too. Customer service...it's okay. Most times they seem annoyed to be working but they're never rude, just not too personable. I strongly recommend the sesame chicken and egg rolls. read more

I'm not a big fan of Chinese fast food. This place is overpriced in my book but the food is okay. The chicken curry (rice bowl) is probably their best dish. Don't buy their overpriced fountain soda for $1.50 w/ no refills (another $0.80 each) when taco bell is next door! read more

I've been coming to this place for well over 10years and I think it's a great spot. While over the years the prices went up, I think the food is good enough to justify it. My real only concern is their payment acceptance. I'd really love to see this place get with the times and accept cards instead of only accepting cash. I know for a fact id go in a more often, and I'm sure other people would. read more

Their soup pork ribs are to die for! They just introduced these, and I keep coming back for them! The chow mein, though, is sour and tastes rancid, like it's been sitting there for days, and I am far from a picky eater by any means. The fried rice is still good, though. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid always loved the noodles , orange and bbq chicken. Over the years the quality has gone down a bit but it still is the spot to go to when you got the munchies . read more

Best Chinese Fast Food place I've ever been too and they keep the restaurant very clean.

the food is so good i usually get orange chicken, chow main & teriyaki chicken ! I recommend if your around the area stop by and try the food. read more

I have to say this is the very best Chinese place I've ever been too! I used to live literally 5 mins away from it but I moved to the valley & I still would go often with my parents when we would be near because the food is definitely great! read more

Good food, good price, pleasant staff - all you could ask for. Best I've experienced in Hayward so far....

I was going to give this place 3 stars but not many Chinese restaurants i can actually eat their food besides panda express. But for this place its not to bad i dont mind going there if im too lazy for panda express, actually in my opinion their noodles are alot better then pandas as well as there general chicken. I would recommend this place to my friends if they want something fast to eat that isnt half bad. Their price is good as well!! read more

I have ate here any many many times and it's high time that I write a review about this place. First off, they DO have great tasting food and it's made fresh daily. The decor is OK and nothing to brag about and they also have a good selection of food which is also moderately priced and reasonably priced. They also have Grilled Chicken and some other days, they also have BBQ pork which they sell per item. I have never had a bad meal here nor any bad experiences about their staff because they're very friendly and accommodating....My main problem with this Chinese restaurant is that they do NOT ACCEPT Plastics (Debit/Credit cards) but only cash! It's now 2017 and a TON of other Chinese Restaurants more fancier than this dump DO ACCEPT Plastics and I don't understand for the life of me why the owners of this joint don't. To me? ANY restaurant that doesn't accept Credit/Debit cards only has one motive and that is the joint is involved with Money Laundering which is a Federal crime. It's also very inconvenient for potential customers whose very hungry intending too go here have a good meal but can't and started looking for a ATM machine which this joint doesn't even provide. I used to go here everytime I had the chance in the 90's thinking they would accept Credit/Debit cards but got tired of going because they don't want to change their proper payment ways to make it easier and convenient for customers like me so i just went somewhere else and completely forgotten this joint. As a paying customer, it's YOUR DUTY as a business owner to make it convenient for me to go and eat at your place because I'm doing you a favor by supporting your business so you BETTER LISTEN to my requests. But I guess they don't really care so i stopped supporting this joint. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE that would honor your payments and business for there are other better and cleaner Chinese restaurants out there and better tasting food as well. read more

Their hot and spicy soup is awesome, but they are very stingy with their food. I didnt get my money's worth, but its was overall good. Same ol' chinese food. read more

Who cares about the service when the food is just terrible. Two bites and I already feel my stomach turning. Just skip this place.

China Cooks food is good, but the prices of the combo meals jumped a few dollars throughout the years. Back in my high school days the to-go box's were way bigger and a combo c meal was 5 bucks, now its about 8 after tax. You cant go wrong with the bbq chicken, orange chicken and chow mein, but it aint gonna be cheap! read more

the food here tastes pretty good.. i always get the curry chicken/mushroom chicken/sesame chicken.. they give you small portions tho.. so kind of a let down.. but whatever.. i'd rather go to asia delight which is like 2 minutes away.. the price is like a dollar cheaper.. and they give you like twice the amount read more

This place is OK. I actually remember when this place first opened up (circa 1998) and I tried it during it's Grand Opening. That gives me a comfortable feeling, as far as cleanliness is concerned, because I witnessed the newly remodeled kitchen, flooring, dining area etc- everything was all brand new, clean and fresh :) and they still maintain that same cleanliness. This is especially important, because the area on Tennyson/Hesperian is pretty run down and shady. So 2 stars right off the bat. The food is freshly prepared and has good, spicy flavors. During lunch hours sometimes the line is out the door. The only draw back is (1) They tend to wind down as it gets closer to 5pm and may not always have a fresh dish out around that time. So picking some up to take home for "dinner" is a hit or miss. And (2) a few of the ladies are rather stingy on the portion side. Everyone knows that at a Chinese take-out place, the rice/chow mein are the cheapest dishes for them to prepare, which is why they usually pack it on pretty heavy. Not this place. They are extremely cheap. You should never run out of rice or chow mein before the entree!! So they only get one additional star for their frugalness. All and all, it's a decent place to grab a quick lunch. read more

Ok, I'm revising my review. The last and last time I went to this place, they gave me chow mein when I asked for only fried rice, and the orange chicken was really hard and old tasting. Then, I found another Chinese place a block away that was much better; like 5 to 10x better. I'm never coming back to this place again. read more

Went to China Cook today to try it out during my lunch hour. Many of my colleagues had recommended it to me yesterday and I decided to there. The food prices are really great considering the amount of food you get. I went at noon and it had a decent amount of people. Food was fresh and service was really great. If you're into curry and spicy foods, I definitely recommend the Curry Chicken or Orange Chicken. They have an ever popular BBQ Chicken and its grilled fresh. It get's alittle busy but the service is really fast and they get the job done. I definitely am going back soon. read more

I have been a regular costumer until yesterday. It was my stepson's first time to try it there. Since it is conveniently located around the stores we always go, so my stepson wanted to give it a try. We were waiting for the orange chicken, and we were chosing on what will be our other side aside from orange chicken. So we stand there and look at the food . There is no other customers beside us. We were the only one wating, when all of the sudden, the woman who is a service crew named May, ask us if we are going to order or ready to order and i said in a very nice way with all the smile "not yet, were still waiting for the orange chicken :D" and the response was " then sit down there! There! (Pointing in the chairs behind us) and i said what??? And she repeatbwhat she said " i said u sit down there! There! There! (Pointing again on the chairs behind us) so we sat down for a while, try to calm ourselves then left the store! Their foods are okay but the attitude of that service crew is just soooo rude!!!! She shouldnt be there dealing with the costumers! I wont go back there again! read more
