    Refreshing oranges and almond cookies are complimentary
    Nora W.

    We decided to take a trip to Alameda and was this restaurant a hit! The beef chow fun was very traditional and portions were generous. The eggplant tofu with garlic sauce could be adjusted to your spice level preference. Tender eggplant and hot tender fried tofu were gorgeous. Finally, the salt-and-pepper juicy crunchy wings were humongous. Addicting. Hot, fresh, crispy, and juicy. The refreshing oranges with house-made almond cookies are amazing. Cool and sweet oranges cleanse the palate. Delicate crunchy cookies are light and barely sweet. What a meal! Large party trays were wheeled out to customers in-the-know for takeout. Reasonable prices and large portions. Owners are the wait staff and so welcoming!

    Saw they slightly raised prices but still great value for great food. Getting busier inside so slightly longer wait times but still very attentive staff. Cozy feel and great place for catching up with friends. Even saw a family having a birthday party here

    The food is so good. Always huge portions. The fries and fried chicken are my favorite hehe The bittermelon is not that bitter and was good! The eggplant tofu was sooooo good!!! The veggies are delicious. Food is definitely on the oily end but hey that's the best part of eating out They give you cookies and oranges as dessert for free.. my favorite. The cookies are SOOOOO GOOD. Staff is always so nice.

    I went back to try the rice plates, and I was impressed with the portions. I ordered Mongolian Beef and Fried Rice. The food was fresh, hot, and tasty. What's lacking is a complete menu for lunch plates. Usually lunch plates include a small soup or egg rolls. I tried to add a small soup, and I had very limited choices. I had to settle for won ton soup.

    This is one of my favorite places in alameda. Good price, big portions and the staff is super friendly. Always love coming back to this place :)

    Hole in the wall but serves up huge portions of food at a reasonable price. Ordered lunch specials with beef with broccoli with fried rice and sesame chicken with chow mein. Loved they give you the option of choosing thin noodles or the thicker noodles. Food came out pretty fast, well seasoned and not too salty. Beef and broccoli was cooked to my liking. The sesame chicken was cooked in a thin batter which I appreciate as many places will use a lot of flour and not much chicken. I did not get that here, which is great. Again huge portions, we had 2 take out boxes full of leftovers. We then ordered beef chow fun and salted fish and chicken fried rice to go. Those boxes were also packed to the brim! Beef chow fun was pretty good but the salted fish and fried chicken needed more salted fish. Will be back to try other items on the menu. Server May super friendly and welcoming!

    Walnut Shrimp Lunch Special - Pass on this

    Limited range of Cantonese food from noodles to rice dishes. The things they do make, they do make well. Went as a group for lunch, no more buffet - that's in the past, but now they have gigantic portions of Salt & Pepper Pork Chop, Peking Pork Chops, and especially gigantic Seafood Pan Fried Noodles. Appeared to be a whole bag of noodles. They also do a Chicken and Veggie Pan Fried Noodles which is also big. We tried requesting a Tomato Beef Pan Fried Noodles or a Chinese Beef Stew Pan Fried Noodles but they couldn't do it. Said no Tomatoes....and no Beef Stew. Pass on the Walnut Shrimp.....They're also well known in Alameda for their Almond Cookies...3 for a dollar. Parking can be a challenge on busy Park Street.

    I grew up eating at Genghis Khan and I miss when they were a buffet before the pandemic. Even after my family still comes here for large family parties. The food may not be top tier Chinese food but it does taste pretty good and you get your moneys worth for the amount they give. The service is usually pretty quick, friendly and accommodating even when I pop in for a lunch plate or for pick up. I know its wishful thinking that they would become a buffet again but im still a loyal customer even with all the other Chinese options on this side of Alameda.

    Our 7 dishes for dinner!

    This is now my favorite Chinese restaurant in Alameda. Huge portions, extremely tasty food! May, the server is the best. She told us that 90% of the orders are takeout. Note that the restaurant is no longer buffet nor Mongolian BBQ. -- just sit down or takeout Chinese since the pandemic. Do you like leftovers? Cantonese Chinese food? This is the place for you. A no frills restaurant but the food more than makes up for it. My neighbors brought this food over a year ago and I finally returned twice this week-- once for dinner (7 dishes for $95) and lunch (3 lunch specials and one chow mein for $50). I picked up their party menu for a future event I'm hosting and the prices really continue to look reasonable. Our favs: salt and pepper chicken wings, bitter melon chicken, eggplant tofu, string beans beef, special order of salted fish/chicken fried rice for dinner. The lunch specials include a huge amount of rice or chow mein and your main dish -- we loved the shrimp and mixed veggies, basil fish and string beans and the chicken and tofu (looked like a whole container of tofu on the plate!). You may have to wait a bit for your food if dining in because it seems they are short handed. But be patient because your taste buds will be dancing when you finally taste everything!

I've been here a few times and one time the owner or cook came up to our table to recommend some items and talk about the type of food he serves. They're very nice people and very generous, especially when I came by on a slow Wednesday for a solo dinner and I was pretty hungry so I ordered a few new dishes I haven't tried before. I ordered the spicy tingly beef noodle soup, the lamb in sauce dumplings, and the ruo jia mo stewed pork slider and I was also offered a bit of their liang pi cold noodle on the house which I commend on them for going beyond their service and hospitality. The noodle soup was presented so well and the dumplings sauce was so good that I poured some into my broth for extra flavor. The slider was so moist and fresh, juice was literally dripping off each bite and the cucumbers in it gave it a good crunchy texture. In the end I would come back anytime and order the same and perhaps try their malatang!

I was dining alone and ordered only shrimp dumplings and a glass of Chardonnay, yet the wait was excessive. The wine arrived in what looked like a tasting-sized pour, and at $16 a glass, it felt particularly disappointing--especially since it was the only white wine option available. The restaurant itself felt neglected. The tables were wobbly, the décor was dated, there was a noticeable cigarette smell, and I even had to replace my own chopsticks after noticing lipstick on the pair initially provided. After waiting so long for my food, I stood up to ask for my check and cancel the order. At that point, the dumplings suddenly appeared, along with an offer of a fried bun as compensation. I declined and suggested they at least comp the wine given the experience, but they did not. The final bill was nearly $30 for a mediocre glass of wine and shrimp dumplings that were undercooked and unappetizing enough that I threw them away after a few bites. If you're looking for a quick meal before a movie, I'd strongly recommend going elsewhere. This was a disappointing waste of both time and money.

This time, we ordered a few dishes to try - the classic sesame paste noodles, Shan Dong chicken, the fried rice with shrimp, and the hot spicy eggplant. Since we did order delivery on a busy Saturday night, it took a little over an hour for our food to arrive. The food was expertly packed and we were given plenty of utensils and napkins. The sesame paste noodles are one of my favorite dishes here, there's a balance of sweet and salty offered in the creamy sesame paste sauce that's so addicting. I've always been a big fan of the hand-pulled noodles which are thick, bouncy and chewy. The Shan Dong chicken is deep fried and coated in a delicious sauce. It is more of the sweeter side if you're looking for something that's spicy. I appreciate that we were given large pieces as well! The fried rice with shrimp is amazing - I love the crunch of the green onion, the softness of the fried egg, and the texture of the rice and veggies which weren't soggy and still held a nice bite. Last but not least, the hot spicy eggplant was a great choice because it's usually the trickier dish to cook as eggplant can turn really soft and mushy. I was delighted that with the way it was prepared, the large eggplant pieces still held a tender texture that did not fall apart. I also enjoyed the sauce that was paired with the eggplant, which is oyster-sauce based and added a pleasant sweetness as well.
