    Cantonese Rice Noodles, Hunan Fish, pork Asparagus Pork, Hunan Tofu, Chicken Fried Udon, Sweet and Sour Pork
    Griselda Z.

    Ordered takeout: [My review as a Chinese person who has eaten both authentic and non authentic Chinese food] I read the business was under new management so I decided to give it a try. The building looks sketchy and it still has its old sign and business name HK Yummy BBQ. Food quality and taste is 4.5 out of 5 stars. Menu is catered to American Chinese food. Their new menu says they are Hunan and Chinese Food. The Hunan fried fish is delicious and big fish portions. So was the Cantonese noodles (has nice curry flavor!). Get it! All the dishes we ordered were non-greasy, generous meat portions in meat dishes, the wok mastery is high quality, ingredients tasted fresh. Didn't feel thirsty after. Ordered six dishes for less than $90. Took 20 minutes for order to be done.

    Various take out - Fresh sliced Fish Porridge, West Lake Beef Soup, Chicken with String Beans, Vegetable Chow Mein

    My go to take out spot, no dine in or vibes. They changed ownership so the 3/$30 special is no longer valid, but the prices are still reasonable. Porridges average 12.95 and they give a decent amount of meat with your order! Definitely good bang for your buck. West lake soup was similarly priced also with a strong meat ratio. Consistently, when I ordered the chicken string bean, the container was 2/3 (or more) chicken. If you're trying to bulk up and get more protein, this is definitely the spot. All the containers are always packed to the brim. If you go early and watch them pack your food, you might see your soup or food spilling out as they close (like I did). Portion sizing is very good. Current owners are no longer Cantonese (mandarin speaking now) but understand some! Their English is good as well. There is a parking lot but it's often full due to a convenience store being next store (perfect if you want a specific drink with your meal. I've seen many people double park to go in and out. The sign above is for HK yummy BBQ and they just never replaced the sign. They spent all their money on Costco business boxes of chicken instead. Worth it.

    Nothing bad to say about this place. It has been my go to ever since I moved to the city three years ago and it continues to be my go to today. I go out of my way to come here. It is amazing. The food is outstanding. The service is stellar and the packaging is top-notch. Take out counter service only so leave Rover at home this time you'll be home soon. . Take out only. This is one of the last Chinese restaurant that make egg foo yung and it is ridiculously good!! Chinese restaurants don't even make it too much anymore. Considering quality of food, price and service. This is not a place that cannot be beat ! They're open till 3 AM on weekends and two on weekdays.

    Beef chow fun $14
    Allen Z.

    I was craving for chinese food at 1:30am on a monday night. China delights opened till 2am. Arrived at 1:40am, ordered beef chow fun. Order was finished in 5 mins. The beef chow fun was delicious. Had a lot of wok hay and the beef was well marinated. Cost 14$ for the beef chow fun, which is the average pricee at other dim sum restaurants. Even though there is no dining area inside, it's a good spot for late night to go chinese food.

    How expensive for this garbage

    Absolutely disgusting Chinese food.I live on the peninsula and The places I usually order from were closed. So I decide to give this a try.What a mistake.I ordered 3 different things of Fried Rice and chow mein.All of them were gross But especially the vegetable and chicken fried rice. Absolutely no flavor I could have made better fried rice than this and the chow mein was disgusting. Who ever says this is good Chinese food doesn't know good quality chinese food. Panda expresses better than this and I don't even like panda express. I'm so mad right now. The meal was $74, but with shipping and delivery, it ended up being $90.I'm beyond upset disgusting tasteless flavourless food.

    BBQ Peking Spare Ribs
    Timothy V.

    This has no right being this good..... but it is. It's a hole in the wall Chinese place, and I thought the reviews were overstating it.... Nope this stuff is the real deal. Honestly one of the best things I've had in the bay, and I'd say the pork spare ribs can hold their own when compared to San Tung's wings. The wings win, but not by much. The serving portions are extremely healthy, and great value. I'm a big guy with a huge appetite and I could stretch this into 4 meals (main container not pictured, this is about 40% of the entree on my plate) or 2 meals if I'm really hungry. The pork spare ribs were crispy and perfectly sweet and salty. The owners were nice and I might have just found my go to spot if I need food in a pinch.

    Trying it for the first time very good. Will definitely order again. My favorite is sweet and sour fish and the chicken fried rice was good. Soy sauce chow mein was ok a little dry but flavorful. Fried tofu with veggies was very good. I will for sure comeback next time especially how I liked the sweet sour fish big pieces.

    Takeaway: Fried Tofu with Mixed Vegetables and Fish Paste/Lettuce Porridge.
    Peter L.

    The fried tofu with veggies and Minced Beef porridge are recommended. Not norms are the fish paste & lettuce porridge and seafood tofu soup; both were not bad either. The food are pretty good so far and shall return. Apparently, a new eatery that's strictly for takeout and delivery apps usage, even after the pandemic ends, and more of a ghost kitchen. The inside of this business is basically a noodle house size kitchen. Located at a street bend/corner, look for a Chinese restaurant sign that doesn't even say "China Delight". The front looks like a closed business, but it's next door to a liquor store. Parking may be tough in this residential neighborhood but there's a mini parking lot.

    Although the sign which is never lit says something else, this IS actually China Delight

Our party of 4 ordered the fried hawt rabbit, spicy Singaporean crab with fried milk bread, Hong Kong black pepper steak, and beef chow fun noodles to share family style. Overall, we were super impressed with all the food. Everything other than the chow fun were super unique, but all the flavor combinations worked so well together. While the chow fun wasn't unique, I'd say it's still a very solid dish. Everyone in my party left full and satisfied. The food is a bit on the pricey side for it what it is, so I wouldn't come here regularly but I think that it's worth coming for a special occasion. Service here is super friendly and attentive--our waitress checked in on us frequently and brought us extra napkins and gloves for our food, which was super appreciated.

One note is that parking can be a bit challenging so get there a bit early. The inside is lively and filled me with so much nostalgia with the decor. The staff is really attentive and friendly. I also appreciate the free peanuts and cucumber salad that you get when you're seated. My boyfriend and I ordered a lot of food because we wanted to try so many things! The lamb skewer was super moist and had a nice flavor. The XO escargot with milkbread had a nice buttery, garlic taste. The milk bread was fluffy and when dipped in the sauce it tasted very rich. We also got the clay pot rice and it reminded me of when I had it in China. The rice was crispy at the bottom and well seasoned. My favorite dish of the night was the squab. It was cooked excellently and the skin was really crispy. The five spice powder on the side really brought out the flavor of the meat. The eggplant was cooked well and portion was good but it didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. Overall, I would visit this place again. It definitely lives up to the hype. The squab and and clay pot rice were the stand outs to me but all the other food was really tasty as well.

So far only one has come close! This is all I remember from that place and how delish it was. Fast forward to yesterday. They were really nice and welcoming as soon as I went in. We didn't want to order too much, so we only got the beef hor fun and green onion pancakes. The pancakes were so good! Nice and chewy on the inside and crunch on the outside. The chow fun I had really high hopes for. My memories as a child having had chow fun all the time, had this distinct taste to it and made a certain way. Their chow fun was good, but I think it was lacking a little flavor? I also wish they used the wider noodles instead of these thinner ones. :( It wasn't bad at all, I just had a certain expectation. So far, there's only one place that is reminiscent of what I remember and it's in Sacramento. That being said, we will still come back because I would love to try the Simon's garlic chicken and more of the pancakes!
