    Past 9am on a Tuesday.  Perhaps they should update their posted opening hours??,
    CM P.

    Advertised times for opening says 9am. I was there from 9am to 9:50am. The place was still closed. I'm not sure if they have changed their opening times, but it would be nice to know so people don't waste their time going there. Hours posted on the door say 9am...posted times on Yelp also say 9am. I've had food there before and it was okay...so take it for what it's worth if you plan to go there...

    Honestly, unless I'm in Oakland, I feel like the options from the East Bay down to San Jose are very limited in options for Chinese BBQ and bbq plates along 880. So it becomes a huge struggle when I'm leaving the South Bay and I just want something to fill those cravings. Luckily, Newark has some hole in the wall gems and New Hwong Kok was that. I stopped by in the afternoon and there was still duck, bbq pork, and soy sauce chicken available. I wasn't looking for anything too fatty so I skipped the duck and got to bbq pork and soy sauce chicken combo rice plate. It's okay if you can't order in Chinese because they already have combo options for you to chose from or you can point! Prices are more than fair for the amount of protein you are getting and I was pretty pleased with the flavor. Hard to find rice plates at these prices outside of Oakland Chinatown (which I think might be more expensive). They also have options for dimsum and other goods. Quick stop and got what I needed. Also, ask for utensils if you'r trying to eat in the car!

    BBQ Pork (Cha Siu)
    Jia M.

    The cha siu was dry and the pieces were huge! I wish they would cut them into smaller pieces. The pork belly wasn't crispy anymore by the time I ate them for dinner, but I think it's still better than the cha siu. There was also a long line at around 1PM on a Saturday. It took us around 20 minutes to order. Keep in mind that they will charge you a service fee if you use credit card to pay.

    Pork bun
    Hope L.

    Came here and was really craving Chinese food. I got the char siu and the roast chicken plate over rice with two pork buns. The food was ready immediately and it was about $20 for all three items. The food was tasty but the portions were a bit small as we got a lot of rice but not that much meat. The roast chicken had a couple of bones in it and had a bit of a rubbery texture but the char siu tasted pretty flavorful. The pork buns were good and curbed my cravings but didn't have enough char siu filling in it. The seating area here wasn't very clean and the tables looked like they weren't cleaned in a while. I think most people take the food to go though so that would make sense. Overall, the food was about a 3.5/5 and the atmosphere of the restaurant was about 2/5.

    Roasted Duck Rice Plate
    Ivan B.

    This is one of those places to get your lunch. However, you're better off doing a take out rather than dining in because of how bland the atmosphere is. Still boxes at the front. I remember dining here when I was a lot younger. Wasn't really looking bad there at that time. The food was slimy and oily. I consider it below average tbh. It's cheap at the bright side. I highly recommend going to other restaurants if you want to get better quality of duck and chicken.

    Hopefully they will return soon
    Kai D.

    Love this place, hopefully they will return soon. Love their BBQ ribs, only place sell it.

    Wow I bit into their show my is so delicious you got to try it

    I highly recommend this establishment you could eat there or you could have it to go just like me I had it to go my gosh they're barbecue gross pork was so delicious I can't stop eating it and their pork buns the sesame seed roll and their show my I highly recommend it to everybody to order their food cuz there's is so delicious yes it's a small establishment but it's worth going into their establishment because their food is so delicious I want I've been wanting to taste the dim sum and I finally did this morning and it's absolutely rated 10 not 5 but 10 because of the way they put their tender loving care into their food the way they make it I highly recommend everybody to go and have their dim sum and their food whether it's to go or you could eat there go and try it cuz I I still have some more that I'm going to keep on and on and on eating and not only that I'm coming back for more

    Roast duck

    Located inside Lion Supermarket in Newark. Came on a Sunday around 1pm and there was a long line. It took me 15 minutes to order and I ordered the roast duck and the bbq pork steamed buns (siopao). The roast duck smelled so good , I bought the roast duck for my family and they said it was very delicious. The pork bun was big and tasty. The pork bun is actually cheaper than when I buy from Filipino bakeries and the bread bun is softer. Paid around $34 for the whole roast duck and 3 pork buns and I paid with a credit card. It is a hole in the wall so don't expect fancy tables. Also, it is better to pay cash because they charge 3% processing fee for credit cards.

    Shui mai was hard and the meat was not fresh. No wonder they had buy 3 get 1 free. Credit card add 3% fee.

    #6: BBQ pork + Soy sauce chicken
    Krystal G.

    I agree with a review before me that said "haters gonna hate," but this spot is undefeatable. You think the aunties yelling "next" and the uncle chopping the duck care about what we say on Yelp? Lol. With that said, this spot is a no frills Chinese bbq and dim sum spot. You go in, get what you want, and leave. They've been in this plaza for as long as I can remember. They take card payments but charge extra 3%.

Pearl Bay has high ceilings and a gigantic screen, and it seems like a lot of wedding banquets take place here. They have a hot deal weekday special that's $488 for a table of 10-12, and it was a lot of food. I think they limit it to a few tables a night. Service was not bad - they refilled ice water multiple times, which was surprising for a Chinese restaurant. That said, it would have been nice if they had actually announced what dishes we were getting. The menu included: - Chicken soup - Stir fried beef with vegetables - Cold marinated chicken and geoduck - Fish maw with pea sprouts and shiitakes - Fried egg tofu - Steamed fish - Twin lobsters with vermicelli - Suckling pig with steamed buns - Fried rice The highlight was the fish roe fried rice: great texture and flavor. Other things were variable in flavor. For example, the lobster was good, but the vermicelli texture and flavor were lacking. The banquet menu we got was good value and was more than enough food. I am definitely interested in trying their weekend dim sum.

Everything is more expensive everywhere these days. The thing is, this place is solid. I've always had a good meal here. Everyone I've ever shared a meal with here has always enjoyed it. So, maybe the lower rating will scare others off. Personally, I'll enjoy eating here over and over again. BTW, their baked pork bun, chowfun, and tofu wrapped pork/mushroom dishes are delicious.

They only had two people working and there were about 5 tables of diners. These two servers were running around non-stop and you had to flag them down every time. They didn't have time to refill our tea pot so they just left a big jug of hot water at our table to refill it ourselves. The restaurant is large, but feels very old and dated. Some chairs were taller than others, carpet needs to be replaced, its in desperate need of a deep cleaning, refresh and remodel. The food was just OK. Some stuff was overcooked and our fish dish and some of the crab was a little under cooked, while some dishes were swimming in oil. Between 8 adults and 2 kids, we had about 9-10 dishes with lots of leftovers (noodles) to take home. Since my mom picked one of the preset menu options, our bill was over $500 for mediocre Chinese food!!! Let's just say, I have no intention of ever coming back.

The dining room is on the smaller side, but it's not cramped--it's clean, comfortable, and well organized. Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The House Special Pan Fried Chow Mein had perfectly crisp noodles topped with a generous mix of seafood, chicken, and vegetables in a savory sauce. The Beef Brisket with Daikon Clay Pot was incredibly tender, with melt-in-your-mouth brisket and daikon that soaked up the rich, comforting braising sauce. The Seafood & Pork Dumplings with Truffle were plump, juicy, and elevated by just the right amount of truffle without overpowering the filling. The Shrimp & Chive Dumplings had a delicate, chewy wrapper with fresh, juicy shrimp inside. The Bean Curd Steamed Dumplings were another standout--silky bean curd wrapped around a savory filling and served in a rich sauce that made them incredibly comforting. We also loved the Salt & Pepper Fish Fillet--lightly battered, perfectly crispy, and seasoned with garlic, scallions, and just the right amount of pepper. Beyond the food, the service was friendly, efficient, and attentive. Everything arrived hot and quickly, even with a busy dining room. It's always a great sign when every dish at the table is a winner, and that was definitely the case here. We genuinely loved every single dish we ordered and would happily order them all again.
