    Shrimp fried rice, chow mein, and 4 pieces of dry fried rib
    Bee D.

    This place has been here forever and always packed. Definitely one of the better Chinese food hood spots in Oakland. As far as my plate, them dry fried ribs could have been bigger than that. LOL! Man I was hot when I opened my plate.

    Egg Roll Kitchen is right across from the notorious Chico's Liquor, smack dab in the heart of the hood. Walking in, you're immediately hit with signs laying down the law: no paying with all change, no sneaky business with orders, and you get one sauce per item unless you're ready to part with 25 cents per extra shrimp. Rules and regulations galore. The decor? yeah this isn't my usual spot, but my dad swears by their house chow mein, so I had to give it a shot. I ordered double meat, threw in an extra four bucks for it, and when I opened the box, it looked like the meat decided to take the day off. Seriously, check out the pics--barely a sliver of meat on top. But after a few forks down, there was some. Honestly, it was super greasy and salty. Not my type of thing, but I could see the appeal if I was drunk, car-less, and had to walk here from Eastmont Mall. From that perspective, this would be a glorious find. But if you have a car, just drive anywhere else. If you actually from this area, you've definitely seen the chef in his apron, smoking a cigarette out the side door before, tell me Im lying. Thanks for reading, and until next time, keep those taste buds adventurous!

    Beef chow Mein (9) not worthy!

    Egg Roll Kitchen has been here for literally decades. had the food here a while back (decade or 2 or 3). nostalgia brought me back. sadly, it may have been an off day or the head chef wasn't in or he was the guy sweeping the floors. offerings: fried items, chow mein, chop suey, egg rolls, burgers?, fried rice, appetizers, combos, etc. very limited menu eats: beef chow mein (9 tax included) -sad greasy, chewy noodles with a few pieces of sliced beef, celery, bean sprout, onions, etc. portion size the usual, slightly salty, no other flavors. -thts is the lst chinese take out for awhile, maybe this year. in house for lunch yes in contra costa? 3.5 stars good value but da food wasn't good today. take outs: -little legal parking in area. -panda express does chinese food better but i wouldn't recommend going there. (not a good value).

    This place looked hella suspect but my friend said it was the best Chinese food in the bay so why not. Parking was tough, and the area looked rough. I kept having to look over my shoulder but it's all good. There was a good amount of people coming in and out so that was a good sign. You order from the window, and they have these old school menus with the lettering you pin on a bulletin board, I have not seen this since elementary school. I ordered the dry fried ribs, fried prawns and fried rice. Hella bomb! Dry Fried Ribs were crispy, but super tender inside. The fried prawns were massive and paired perfectly with sweet and sour sauce. The fried rice was ok, it was just rice to me. I recommend coming here in the middle of the week during the day. I would come again

    This place is definitely an oldie but goodie! I had not been here in a really long time, but decided to go for lunch one day and got something really simple. I really appreciated being able to order everything over the phone and having it ready when I got there. Just walked right up gave them. My order number paid in cash was able to go. The food was just as tasty as I remembered. It's one of those spots that if you're not familiar with it, you might be a little skeptical to go in but trust me it's worth it. They still do a lot of things very "old-school" and I kind of like that. I've posted some recent photos of their menu options, but they still have listed on the wall. Definitely worth a try if you were in the area.

    Classic hole in the wall joint in the hood that serves good Chinese food. Beware that they close early..Usually by 6 or 7 pm.

    I don't know what everybody's complaining about for this McDonald's location. Every time my order…read morehas been top quality for a McDonald's. Sure. I wish their dining room was open longer hours. But I realized why it's not open longer hours into the evening. With only the drive-thru remaining open. Quick 10 Chicken nuggets for a snack FTW! After Dining Room Hours Hack. Use the McD App and place a Pickup order for the Drive-Thru. Then walk up to the sidewalk after hours window for Uber Pickups and show them your order number. It's likely they'll give you your food there. If not, push the issue and walk through the drive-thru. You have already paid already. After all. They're not losing any money. And if they refuse you, they'll have to refund it. Employees working here have been nice to me every time.

    Sheer disappointment…read more I've come to this location maybe a few times. Never really had a great experience but didn't have a bad experience. I haven't been here enough to formulate an opinion for feedback. Yesterday however, i had an order that should've been ready to go as ordered on the app. I leave my car to go inside and there is a male worker, who was mopping the floor. Decided to lock the door from the inside infront of my face. I was shocked, I walk to the other side and he's speed walking to lock it i front of my face. I go back to the other side, the lobby isn't supposed to be closed till 6:00 PM, so why are we closing it before? When a customer let me in, he proceeded to try to kick me out. Never the less, i got the food but in no way or form should that lobby have been closed. Then asking me to go to the drive thru lane? Make it make sense. Anyways picture to show they they do indeed close whenever they feel like it

    Went to drive through. Ordered a small drink, it was priced higher than the menu. I say something,…read morethe guy says "oh really? I don't think so." I confirm it's listed for $.10 less than what they charged. He says ok we'll give you $.10 credit to even out charge. Also, the order started to be taken by a female who butchered my EXTREMELY simple order. Then the man comes on and says "oh ok you ordered the 2 mini churros?" I'm like no, not even close. Like wth. Drive up, they hand me a large drink. I say is this a small? They say oh we don't have small. I figure they just put it in a large cup, but no, they charged me for a large. I wanted a small. Like why? Why didn't you say that? Just did it because I called out being over charged? Just did it for no reason. Just lousy customer service for no damn reason. After years of visiting here on rare occasions after volunteering at the shelter, I will never come back. Just little scammer lazy employees.

    Not to say I don't like Jack in the Box. But when it comes to convenience, I prefer Jack in the Box…read morebecause it opens long hours. There is always food to eat. But this time, they ran out of onion rings. I ended up ordering just a Jumbo Jack. There were some people gathering around the drive-thru window. I kind of wish they weren't there. I was so afraid of running them over. I quickly order my burger and took my food back to my hotel room.
