    Fish and chicken
    Joe P.

    It was my first time here and I've been trying to get her for e long time. Finally today I had the chance to stop by and grab me some chicken and fish sandwiches. Both were freshly made and I like them. I was surprised how good they are. I will be back for more..

    This is your regular Chinese bakery, but with the viral fish filet sandwiches for $3.50 each. It's a Chinese bread as a bun, so it's a little sweet and inside is a crispy fish filet with mayonnaise. The fish and the sandwich is overall pretty tasty, especially for that price. I also tried the chicken one, but it was not as good as the fish filet. If you had to get one thing here, I'd definitely recommend the fish filet. Lines can get long depending on day of week. It's pretty tiny inside and lots of supplies throughout the space. There's one long table inside if you choose to sit inside, but it's more of a to go type of place. You wouldn't want to sit inside that chaos anyways.

    Parking 3/5 is somewhat difficult due to the popular businesses at the plaza. -Long line therefore patient is a must or eat something before showing up. Customer Service is 3/5. Not super organize for a busy place. I didn't like that the cashier will serve customers with dirty hands after handling money. I feel the person in charge of checking out customers should focus on just that. Food 4/5 fish sandwich 5/5 Bbq bun 5/5 Custard tart 3/5 Pineapple bun 4/5 Coconut bun 5/5 (no picture. Hungry and ate it) Coffee 0/5 Ambiance is chaotic and super busy Besides the little things I shared as concerned I will definitely go back again for their many goodies. I will not allow the cashier to take my order and check me out. (Someone else took my order, but she served someone and checked her out while I was in line waiting both be checked out).

    Yup, here for the first filet sandwiches. Stood in line at the front of the door and that took about 10-15 minutes to order and get my food. Fish filet buns looked like they got refilled for service like twice in that time. Everybody was also ordering at least 4-6+ from what I was overhearing and there was no stop in the flow. They're probably equipped for the larger lines now. Fish bun at $3.5 could use a little more sauce (like mayo?) because it was very minimal but the fry on the fish is pretty good for the price. It's not super thing either. BBQ pork buns $2.25 were actually pretty good. I'm a sucker for one and I'm always ordering it. Sesame balls are 3 for $4.50 and they tasted pretty average. Just what you'd expect. I ended up making my own Japanese Tartar with the dish sandwiches at home. Really good combo. Service - 4 / Food - 4 / Price - 4

    We were visiting family and they mentioned this bakery close to their house. They mentioned how they went viral for their fish sandwiches, so I decided to give it try. I came late morning on a Sunday, and the parking lot was packed. There was a line out the door as expected. I think I was in line at least 30 minutes before I got to the front. Got to the front with my list of items ready. Definitely recommend having what you want ready to make everything go faster. Their online menu shows everything available. We got fish sandwiches, pork bun, cocktail bun, and pineapple bun. Everything was pretty cheaply priced at $2-$3. The fish bun was a big hit, and we can understand how it went viral. The fish is crispy and flakey. The bun is super soft and the bit of mayo makes it not dry. The cocktail bun was also delicious and had a good amount of filling. Would love to try out more stuff next time.

    I did it, everyone. I finally was in the San Leandro area over the weekend and joined the line for the viral $3 fish sandy. I had some time around 1:30p on a Saturday and the line actually wasn't too bad (it moves pretty fast). What a cool gem for grab & go deliciousness and roadtrip snacks. It was also really fun chatting with others learning if it was their first time/what they've ordered before/recommendations, and more. I didn't know they had frozen, to-go items and I would have grabbed some things to take with us, but we had a full day ahead. The service was super quick, turn-key, and everyone was so nice. There was even a member of the staff that was working the line, taking orders with a pad of paper to speed up the movement. I ordered the Pineapple Butter Bun, BBQ Pork Bun, Chicken Breast Bun, Fish Filet Bun (these are now $3.50), Hot Dog Bun, BBQ Pork Pastry, and Coconut Tart. The Chicken Breast and Fish Filet Buns had just come out of the oven and were SO fresh, still piping hot, and honestly just delicious. The chicken and the fish were hearty pieces, the bun was soft and pillowy, not dry at all with the dollop of kewpie mayo, and just perfection for the price. Would love to order next time the Ham & Egg and Ham & Corn buns if we were able to get over there earlier before sell-out, and try more of the dim sum menu. They accept card and also have plenty of parking outside. A truly enjoyable East Bay experience. Check hours before heading over ~ they open at 7am! I now see the hype!

    This review is fully for the food and service. We arrived 2 hours before closing, there was a bit of a line outside but it moved pretty fast. This id a small location. My fiancé wanted to try their chicken and fish sandwiches- the bread was freshly baked and warm, the sandwiches are fried and flavorful.

    Sooooo glad my partner and I were able to try this place today! We've tried these sandwiches before but this was our first time trying them fresh and it is a game changer. We ordered the chicken sandwich and fish sandwich -- both super delicious! The sandwich itself doesn't come with much, only mayo, BUT I think the simplicity of the sandwich is what makes it so good. The chicken tasted like chicken katsu and the fish reminded me of Mcdonald's Fish Filet. Both were super crispy! The bun is also a Chinese bun, super light and fluffy! Each sandwich was about $3.50/ea. Service was fairly quick! We arrived around 1:30pm and they closed at 3pm. The line was still fairly long and only continued to grow! We waited about 20 minutes and received our food quickly. Already planning my next trip here, can't wait to go back!

    The hype is real. The fish sandwich is the real deal. The chicken sandwich is good too. So affordable. I got there an hour before closing and they were still bringing out the sandwiches. I got lucky as there was 8 people ahead of me but when i left there was 15 people. It does get busy but glad they still were pumping sandwiches close to closing.

    Stumbled upon this place after landing at OAK and stopped by for fish sandwiches and buns! The fish sandwich is what McDonald's fish o filet should aspire to be - so good and freshly made. I also got a bbq bun and taro bun, and they hit the spot. Can't beat the price either. The line was wrapped around, but it moves relatively quickly since they have a few people at the front taking orders.

    Always a line outside this place

    The ever popular Fish Sandwich is what you come here for. Yes the line is long but it's not an extremely long wait. The delay is usually cause by certain customers that take up a lot of time when they are being helped out at the cashier and they are asking a billion-and-one questions and can't decide on what to buy. That holds up the line for the rest of the customers behind them. The servers are very efficient to take your order, take your payment and pack your order, if you know what you want to get. If you are into Fish Sandwich then you must stop by this store.

    All of this and 4 pc siu mai and 1 hong kong style milk tea was $52
    Tiffany T.

    Came on a Thursday at 9am, no line, fast, quick service. THE FISH SANDWICHES ARE WORTH THE HYPE!! AND GET THE HONG KONG STYLE MILK TEA They are serving dim sum again just FYI! The siu mai skin was a bit overcooked but the filling was evenly seasoned and had a good ratio of pork and shrimp. Would get again The fish in the fish sandwich is crispy, well seasoned and SO tender, paired with the bread and a dollop of the sweet kewpie mayo it's absolutely so worth the $3.50. The bun isn't as soft as everyone was saying but it was good, and that's coming from someone who doesn't care for bread. The chicken sandwiches are also good but they use tenders so some pieces are on the drier side, eating it fresh was good but saving these for later did not turn out well. If you're going to get this eat it right away The hong kong style milk tea is made fresh to order and has the perfect flavor of strong brewed tea and milk. It tasted like it was sweetened with honey in the best way, this was SO good and needs to be talked about more! The cocktail bun was good but too much bread to filling ratio, so I would pass on this. On the upside the filling had the right amount of sweetness to coconut ratio! Green onion bun was perfectly savory with an ample serving of scallion oil on top. I would get this again but only if I was craving! I wanted the pineapple bun with butter, but I said I'd like the pineapple bun, so if you want the stick of butter inside make sure you say WITH butter! This was surprisingly good too, the crumbly topping was just the right amount of sweet and the bun had a good texture. Unfortunately I don't like bread so I wouldn't get this just for me. The egg tarts here are VERY jello-y, not like a custard and heavy on the egg flavor. I wish the crust was flakier, but overall I enjoyed it. Boyfriend said he didn't like that it was so jello-y though. The bbq pork buns were a pass, it's a minced pork mush inside, and has more fat than meat. The flavor was standard but it was too mushy. Hot dog bun was standard, the dough on this was chewier than the buns which I appreciated! Still good warmed up, it's what you'd expect 1000% coming back.

    We use to come here for their baos but haven't been in a while. The viral sandos brought we back here! They were pretty good, but for the price, it was even better. Both the fish and chicken are fried in the same batter. If you order both, it's tricky to tell them apart. The fish was crispy and the flesh had good texture. The chicken had a bit more flavor than the fish. Both were good, get both. I came on Tuesday at 11:00am. There were about 5 ppl ahead of me but the line went pretty fast.

    Ask the Community - Chinese Bakery and Deli

    Will they have the fish sandwiches right when they open?

    They should. Bakery stores don't usually open and then they start baking the items they sell, especially these popular fish sandwiches.

    Do they run out of sandwiches by Noon, and does the line die down a bit from 9am-11am on a weekday?

    I went at 2 on a random weekday and was in and out in 20 minutes. Chicken and fish sandwiches were still available.

    Do they do large party orders, trays, etc.?

    They do party orders if you give advance notice

    Do they deliver to castro valley?

    No, they don't have delivery.

It's in a corner of a very cute gourmet food hall and had a good selection of goods left in mid-afternoon on a weekday. Service is also friendly and prompt. I had to get the kouign amann because I always get one wherever I can, and also picked up a plain croissant, currant scone, and panna cotta. The KA was decent; I would call this one a diet KA because they only put the sugar on one side so it was more like a brulee'd croissant. I also have to admit that, while this shaping is very attractive, the direction of the lamination makes eating this feel like shards in my mouth. However, flavor was excellent. The plain croissant is very plain. It's decent but I've had better. The scone and panna cotta, however, were delightful. Both had lovely soft textures and wonderful creamy flavors. The scone held up for two days and wasn't even a bit stale when I finally had it for breakfast. Highly recommend this tucked-away bakery in the Castro Valley!

Seven Hills Baking Co was my first stop as I haven't had sourdough since childhood. I got their classic sourdough loaf. Even though it wasn't warm anymore it was still amazing. It was quite hard to cut into with a serrated bread knife, which I'm not sure whether that's normal or abnormal for gluten sourdough. However, the inside was lovely and soft. Nice strong sour flavor, spongy dough that was almost moist (not at all dry). I want to note on the gluten free front that seven hills baking co offers a few items which they advertise to be gluten free. Though the ingredients may be gluten free, the items are baked in the same kitchen, the same oven, and then put side by side with the gluten in the display case. Furthermore I don't believe their ingredients are all certified gluten free. Therefore I do not recommend seven hills baking co for anybody with celiac disease. Do not buy your friend with a gluten allergy or celiac these items. There is most certainly cross contact.

It has the green tea flavor but it's very subtle. The red bean is few and far between. The choco bun was chocolatey, with a pudding consistency of filling. The bun had a cocoa flavor. Strong flavor of chocolate throughout. The Hokkaido bun was filled with whipped cream which was unexpected. Underneath the cream is some sort of white bean paste The cream filling is like a really good hostess filling. It's self serve. A lot of similar places have you grab the pastries with tongs, but here they put them in plastic which is a relief in terms of germ spreading potential. Line went quickly. Tons of options. Tons of savories too and lots of drinks. They were constantly replacing and bringing out fresh pastries. They did so 3-4 times in the 10 mins we were there so you know when you go the pastries won't be stale or old.
