Placed an order to go for a work lunch. Went to pick up and the man was so funny. A ton of options, and everything was pretty good. For $130, we fed a lot of people, and had leftovers. I forgot to take photos because everyone dug in right away. read more

I love the guy that takes order and at the same time cooks your fried rice BEAT THAT! Love the char siu fried rice....

The food is great here. We had a favorite spot for Chinese food in Oakland, but they sold it to a new owners and the food is not the same. This is place is our new favorite and the food is always fresh. The portions are generous! My fav is the general chicken I call in my order for pick up, so I can't speak on dining inside. You won't be disappointed with the food! read more

It's the Fruitvale District, but I didn't care. I was craving some low-key, homemade Chinese goodness. You know, those type of jewels that we find in the San Francisco area. But at Fruitvale? Yeah, I was kinda desperate. ....did a Yelp quality check of this place and I still took a chance. As soon as I drove by the place, school was out at 3:30 and kids swarmed the neighborhood. The main part of the building read, "Comida China". I thought it was pretty interesting considering there were several Latin citizens ordering from here. I kinda got hyped! I ordered Dry Fried Pork Ribs and a BBQ Pork Egg Fu Young (Lunch Special w/fried rice and egg roll). I did value the fact that my simple order took a good 15-20 minutes of cooking time. I would have grow suspect if my order arrived any sooner than 5 minutes. The food looked good at first glance, but I was disappointed at Jin Sing's execution. The Egg Fu Young was so heavily battered, that it tasted flavorless and starchy. My go-to dish lacked that silky egg goodness I was longing for. Additionally, the Egg Fu Young gravy was rather thick, dark and salty. It didn't do the egg dish any justice. The fried rice was served hot with little bits of pork dots. However, it lacked fluffy grains of seasoned rice. At least the egg roll was served hot and fresh. It was crisp and packed with cabbage and onions. It wasn't wasn't full of sodium. As for the ribs...disappointing. I was craving for sweet n' sour sauce just to mask the taste behind these dark and salty ribs. I feel like the ribs could have been dipped in a wet batter to deliver an epic crunch. At the ribs had some meat to it as opposed to cartilage and fat. On to the next one! read more

Great food, best Chinese food in Oakland. Call in your order and just pick it up. Great service too

First time eating from here and YES Sir!!!! I'm making this my spot to go to especially since it's only a eight minute walk Although it's in a hidden spot if you not looking! I'm sold hope it's all as good as it was this first time Sincerely Pat down the street!!! Lol read more

The Honey Walnut shrimp is really good. They have been open for years. and it's good to see that they're still open. :) read more

Small window made to order to go. They only take cash which is super sketch and way outdated. I only ordered the vegetable chowmein and it simply wasn't appetizing. The customer service is rushed. read more

This place is take-out ONLY. You cannot dine-in. Employee told me through bars on the window, "Oakland is too dangerous." Take-out only. Front door has locked iron gate. Parking is marked as "pick-up orders parking." read more

Came here and had the Chicken wings, Shrimp fried rice and veggie chow mein. Definitely added to my top 3 Chinese spots in Oakland!

I love trying new restaurants when I travel, and this one was a great choice. Located directly across from the school, the smell walking in, enticed me to the different spices and flavors prevalent in Chinese cuisine. NOTICE: This establishment is CASH only. There are plenty of options for lunch combination plates, sadly (and understandibly) not all entrees were included. With that in mind, I decided to order staple sides; chicken chow mein and chicken fried rice. Since the entrée option I wanted wasn't available as a combo, I ordered broccoli with black mushrooms. The food took approximately 15 minutes to arrive to my table. Taste wise, I was NOT disappointed. The fried rice was out first. Perfectly cooked, the rice was firm and not greasy. The taste was buttery and savory with no soy sauce needee. Salted perfectly to taste. The chow mein, out next, had perfectly sautéed noodles and a great ginger, sesame seed oil, and garlic taste. The plate was slightly greasy, but not overly powerful in the mouth. The noodles weren't cheap quality, as noticible by the firmness and non doughy taste others have. The woks must thoroughly be seasoned, because the whole plate had a nice char smell taste that compliments the vegetables. Lastly, the vegetable dish came out and I was NOT disappointed. The mushrooms were kinda chewy but the broccoli was perfect. It was flavored with an oyster and black bean sauce that brought out the wonderful taste of the mushrooms. Overall, 5 starts for this whole in the wall Chinese restaurant. Definitely will come back again when I am in town. read more

Still really love the chinese food served at this restaurant. We order for pick up and the owner is always polite and the food is ready when we arrive. Our order consists of BBQ pork fried rice, chicken chow mein, broccoli and beef, and mapo tofu. I appreciate the consistency and fresh ingredients. read more

This place is just okay. It's not the cleanest. I say down and was brought a dirty napkin with a fork. Ordered my food (Mongolian beef) and went to the restroom. I came back out and awaited my food, I was dining in and at no time was I offered a simple glass of water. I ate my entire meal without a beverage. To the food, the Mongolian beef was OKAY, at best. It was extremely oily, greasy, and the rice it was served with was okay. At the end of my meal I received the check, and a togo box which was both dirty on the inside and outside. Needless to say, I asked for another. I wanted to give this place at least 3 stars, but deducted a star for the lack of cleanliness and not being offered water while dining in. I actually drive 30 mins to get here, based on reviews, and sadly was not satisfied. read more

Jin Sing, I have been coming here for almost 40yrs, everything is cooked when ordered, i havent tried everything, but the Chow Mein, Dry Fried ribs and Shrimp Fried rice is everything to die for. Definitely have to recommend this spot read more

Comida China here is the best I've tried so far for a Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area. The owners are so down to earth. Been coming here for 20 years now and it's the same owners. Mandarin fish is a must get, so differently made then other places. Shrimp chow mein is so fresh and saucy. Giving it 3 stars because i want to bring awareness on healthy eating and eating more raw food. read more

Food is decent as American style Chinese food goes, and in my opinion most Chinese food establishments taste the same. So please don't be turned off by the looks from the outside. What I did like was the fact the doors were open to the kitchen where you could take a peek at the heart of this place. What I saw was a clean, organized kitchen area and that goes a lot further in my book then the quality of the food. See in my humble opinion food can be left to the desire of one's taste, but what is universally a must across the board is a clean kitchen where your food is prepared.....and on this day at least it was looked to be very clean! Now, my food was to go so I can not speak on how well the in house business is ran, but I met the owner and he was really cool. Oh BTW, cash only, homie needs to catch up to the 21st century! read more

I love this place, my childhood and hunger satisfies by eating from there. The food is so amazing ( most of it). It can be quite pricey nowadays but understandable because of the recent world events. The order that I usually get is, shrimp fried rice, broccoli beef, seafood seasaling(not sure how to spell it), and sometimes the free white rice that comes with the seafood. read more

Greasy and little flavor. I was very disappointed. I so rarely throw food out, but I did here, after some disappointing take-out.

I didn't like americanized Chinese food until I was old. I just never had any good Chinese food growing up. But now I know if you find a food enough place some of those staples like orange chicken or chow fun can be good. Unfortunately there aren't many good Chinese food offerings in East Oakland. First time trying this place was very successful. Very fresh, not overly greasy, and pleased everyone in the family. Honestly the one star knock off was for cash only and no fortune cookies. Oh and they were out of pot stickers. Totally would miss this place if you weren't looking for it. Will probably be out new go to when we are too lazy to go to Chinatown. read more

The only downside is CASH ONLY and there isn't much parking but the food speaks for itself. If you're accustomed to Panda Express and Elephant Bar then this isn't for you. read more

The food is really good. The owner himself serves up the food, he can speak his native language, English, and a fare amount of Spanish. I really recommend the lunch specials, it's a goo amount of food for your money, and great taste. Try it! & Enjoy! read more

The food is good and the prices are too. The people there are friendly and will joke around with some of patrons they know.

Good chinese food with great service less then a block from my house. The owners are super nice and theres some cool decorwtions inside and parking out front. I got a carry out order of honey prawns and egg rolls. The egg rolls came with 4 and were good albeit very greasy spring rolls which I actually prefer to egg rolls anyway. The shrimp tasted great. They were in a honey batter over a bed of coconut shavings and light crunchy homemade wonton strips and served with broccoli. It comes with rice which I mixed in as well. Just be sure to bring cash somebody needs to get these guys a square reader. read more

Mom & Pop authentic Chinese food! Everything we ordered was freshly made and very tasty

Great chinese food! Used to be cheap and cash only until about April '19 -- now they increased their prices by about $1 (still fair!) but in exchange they take debit/credit cards. It's a reasonable trade for convenience. The food is delicious and not overly greasy. It walks a fine line between comfort food and wholesome home cooking very well. The vegetables always shine in their preparations and taste fresh. Some of the sauces can end up a little thin for my usual preferences, but it makes it feel a little healthier. There are usually leftovers, and they never go to waste! read more

So sad how misleading yelp can be. 4 1/2 star rating avg? Are you kidding me? Food was mediocre at best. 'Szechuan' chicken was NOT spicy in any way shape or form (and asked for it xtra spicy). And no, I didn't expect it to be 'hot-spicy'. I know Szechuan. Dry-fried ribs were ok, but tiny pieces, not my fave. Note: 'fried wontons' are just crackers, no filling. And for god sake, cash only? In 2017? Thanks for nothing, yelp! read more

Best Chinese food in the town! Don't @ me! I know what I'm talking about. Ive been coming here ever since I was a kid. My mother used to take me and my siblings here for pick up or dine in. The food is always made fresh to-go and the place is very very clean. Small mom and pop but the food never lets me down. The shrimp fried rice, broccoli beef, spicy pork, orange chicken you name it. Its all good here!! read more

One of the best hidden gems in the Town Jin cook that food with love bruh. You ever in the town check him out

I have to start off by saying this isn't your average Chinese restaurant. If you're looking for Panda Express, you will not get that here. I have been coming here for as long as I can remember and am loyal to their chicken fried rice. I would say the Chinese food here has Mexican influence due to the demand, and their hot sauce is the best I've tried in any Chinese place I've been to... my family actually orders by the tub lol. Anyways onto to the actual review; this is a hole in the wall kind of place with limited parking. They currently only are taking to go orders due to COVID. This has not affected the quality of service though; the owner is super friendly and makes it a very efficient process. Every time I order for pick up, it is ready within a reasonable amount of time and the food is always fresh. I love their fried prawns, sweet and sour chicken, chicken fried rice and shrimp chow mein. They also have really great deals on lunch specials. I've been loyal to this place for as long as I can remember, if you're in the area it's definitely worth a try. read more

I've been going to this restaurant for over 25 years. One of my favorite Chinese food places ever. Same owner all this time and has always been friendly and remembers what I like. :) read more

Parking here SUCKS... I walk in to a cold atmosphere were the place is drafty. Greasy chairs,tables and plates and silverware. We have to make our own tea. Yes this man speaks spanish which fuckin creeped me out. Alot of Latinos in this joint no doubt. This is mine and my friends order -Won-Ton Soup -Shrimp Fried Rice -Shirmp Chow-mein -Shrimp Stir-fry Veggies w/side of steamed rice The won-ton soup got there first and it was good, veggies were to hard still tasted like veggies not enough spent in broth to absorb the flavor. Beef was generous, but I was disappointed 7 won-tons. Then came our rice, it was chicken.... I wasnt very please but I still ate anyways since this grease pitt is known for their fried rice since I used to attend Calvin Simmons 9 years ago. Chow-Mein smoothered in salty sauce and shrimp was generous about 10 pieces. I basically just ate it, even veggies were limted to contain nothing but green onion, bean sprouts, I would expect to be way more colorful. Veggies with Shrimp OMG i didnt expect to see my order like this. I seen brown sauce glazed most of the dish I seen various colors peeking out. Steamed rice is pretty much self explanitory. I'm a chinese food attic. I love color and smell and presentation You dont get it here. If you want a place to sit and wallow about loosing your job and you wanna have heartburn and gas COME HERE. read more

I would say this is the worse restaurant I have ever been to! Horrible customer service! Horrible food, my family and I left with an upset stomach. My family and I would've loved to enjoy our dinner but we did not. Service was horrible...also we had a staff argue with us about not leaving tip when we were not aware this restaurant only receives cash. We were barely able to pay our dinner, and did not have money for tip. But the lady wanted to argue with us. read more

We started with hot and spicy soup - delicious and nice and hot (temperature) by it was cold outside. The salt and pepper fried fish was so delicate and non-greasy. I couldn't stop eating it. Service was very polite and prompt. The owner came over to ask everything was. No complaints, only compliments. My friend got the kung pao seafood dish - plenty of tasty, fresh seafood in it. We also got the three mushrooms dish but was too full to tackle that. That dish came home with us. read more
