Not a Michelin restaurant by any means, but my partner and I eat here almost weekly. The staff always seems busy, but it's always a pleasant experience. We have the same order every time, to the point where they know what we want before we even finish ordering. (A lesser human would be embarrassed by this, we are not.) I only took away a star because this restaurant is not super consistent. The spice level changes depending on who's in the kitchen and my dish often looks different from week to week. That being said, I have NEVER had bad food from this restaurant. (And the one time they got my order wrong, they had it remade by the time I got back to the restaurant and let us keep the original food.) read more

Food ,service , Not bad at all for a quick meal lunch or dinner!! Just know what to order and I love the Prices!! Was hard to find a decent Chinese food over here in San Leandro I'm used to getting my Chinese food from Oakland, and the Staff here is friendly ! Rise Garden is My go to spot for sure!! read more

I just moved from Alameda and sold my car. My options for the city and peninsula food I grew up to go to is now limited. When it was raining the other week, I was craving a hot bowl of soup and came to Rose Garden. The service was quick, the staff was efficient and the food felt like a hug. I almost finished the entire serving of the hot and sour soup but remembered I had other items coming. The chow fun was extremely filling and comforting. I will be back!

Ordered lunch trays. Sesame chicken was great! Their egg rolls are amazing! Overall great food, great service!

Ordered delivery which arrived very quickly. Food was ok but way too sweet for me. Even the West Lake Minced Beef Soup was sweet (and too thin)! Overall quality was ok but I likely won't return to this restaurant. Shrimps with scramble egg was my favorite and the only thing I might order again. Fried Crab Cheese Puffs (8) was ok. On the sweet side but expected, but there wre really large chuncks of undercooked onions. Broccoli beef was a little tough. And the General chicken tasted like sweet and sour chicken (not spicy at all). read more

This is supposed to be Mongolian shrimp , it tastes nothing near Mongolian taste; huge pieces of green onion, just a waste of money; never again Buyer's beware I wish i could get my money back to eat elsewhere smh read more

Rose Garden - Suppose to be Mongolian shrimp with fried rice - Chinese Near Me - San Leandro, California

We always come here, the owner is very friendly, smiling and very accommodating. I recently ordered a combo plate shrimp with vegetables, fried rice and fried crab cheese puff. I already started my plate before I took a picture, so that's a ton on my plate read more

Rose Garden - Mix Vegetable with shrimps, fried rice and a piece of Fried crab cheese puff - Chinese Near Me - San Leandro, California

One of the few Chinese restaurants that was open on New Year's Day but let me tell you the Beef Chow Mein was the best I've ever tasted. I have eaten from other places that served the same thing but my problem was that those places overdone on the vegetables when serving up their entrée. Not Rose Garden they modestly add the vegetables in there and give you more noodle and beef. For the portions you get you can feed 2 people or you can have lunch and dinner for yourself. Worth a try if you are bored of the other places to eat at. read more

When I worked in an office building near Bayfair Center, this was my go-to Chinese lunch place. I would get a lunch plate to-go and eat at my desk, but I could never finish all the food in one sitting, so it became either dinner that night or lunch the next day. And every time I came in, the same staff were there, working hard and offering a smile. I left that job almost 10 years ago, and have only been back a handful of times since. My most recent time was on the Lunar New Year. Instead of getting a lunch plate, I ordered dinner for my wife & I (which I had never done before). Due to COVID, all the chairs were piled up and the tables pushed to the side. I walked in and saw that all the staff were wearing masks. I ordered the Seafood Dinner for 2 with an additional order of Szechuan Beef. Since the total was more than $35.00, the staff person offered me a free appetizer or chow mein (I took some pot stickers). 20 minutes later, my food was ready. Our bags were filled with: Fried Prawn appetizer Pot Stickers (complimentary) Seafood with Tofu Soup Sweet and Sour Prawn Salt & Pepper Fish Szechuan Beef And 1 Snapple (didn't order, but they must have thrown in anyway). My favorite dish was the Szechuan Beef, which is battered and fried with a mildly spicy sauce (no vegetables needed here). My wife really enjoyed the Salt & Pepper Fish (also deep friend, but not sauced). But everything we had for dinner was delicious. And as expected, there was more than enough food for 2 people, which will last us the entire weekend. Despite all the problems that the pandemic has brought, it's nice to know that businesses like this are still around serving the community (and,yes, the same staff are here, still smiling). read more

Solid 4. Hole in wall pickup place delivers on house fried rice, Mongolian 3 combo and the eggplant w tofu. Large quantities at the pricing that's appropriate (compared to 18$ fried rice at another local place. We called and ready in the 10 min interval promised . Each of these places has its own taste--slightly on the salty side and some onions on the raw side and flavorful read more

The fried fish fillet and the chow fun beef were delicious. Would come again but not as often cause of distance.

Large portions. They do delivery. Cheaper to order directly through business than doordash. This place has been open for many years. I would recommend their honey walmut prawns, taste a bit like orange chicken, but so yummy. Their prices are affordable. Employed over the phone was very patient with my order and the man who delivered food was kind and patient too since I have a dog that barks like crazy. read more

the food quality is just not what i was expected i love supporting local business but this is just not the place for chinese food .

I order the shrimp omelette from here. I call to ask for the owner directly. Simon is an excellent business owner. He's always kind and willing to accommodate. It's always a plus when he delivers the food himself. read more

Their salt and pepper tofu is really delicious. I like their wonton soup and the orange chicken (my husband likes to ask for it spicy and it's so good). I usually order over the phone, they are quick and accurate. read more

Never again. They have a 4 star rating? food was nasty, soggy lemon chicken,greasy sweet and sour pork,full of gristle,potstickers tasted like trash.We threw out $130. of worthless food. I wouldn't feed it to a dog. read more

According to the pictures, this looked like it was going to be a nice place to sit and dine. When we got there, there wasn't any parking, only street parking if you're lucky so we had to turn around and wait for other people to leave. After finding parking, we walked into the restaurant, and it was like there was a heat wave inside. It was so hot, no air-conditioning or fan blowing we decided to sit down and order food, and we asked for ice water, but God only tapwater with no ice. food is OK. Food is salty and I'm sure there was MSG. Ice cream we decided to take the food home because it was too hot so we asked for the check and we asked for boxes. We paid the check with our credit card. After signing the receipt, the lady said; "what, no tip"??? We usually leave cash tips on the table, but how dare she ask for a tip like that? That wasnt cool. I wouldnt return to this place. I wouldnt recommend it either. Hope she enjoyed her $1 tip. Dont ask stupid questions like that. You probably wouldve gotten a $10 tip but we didnt like how you asked for the tip. read more

"Cheap Chinese" food that is good, is hard to find these days. And let's face it, it isn't cheap anymore! That said, I keep coming back to Rose Garden because their food is always good, they have fast delivery (and the food is always hot), and even though a meal for "two" is $40+ delivered, we always have leftovers for the following day. 2-3 meals actually makes it a bargain! We keep trying other Chinese restaurants, and regret it every time... Rose Garden is our go to! read more

The food is always fresh and delicious! They are fast and provide friendly service, thank you for delivering to Castro valley!

I ordered delivery directly with the restaurant. I've ordered through DoorDash- but learned we needn't pay inflated DoorDash prices- because local delivery is FREE with purchases over $25- PLUS you can get a FREE item with orders over $35. My delivery was fast and friendly. I've been eating at this restaurant for over 10 years. They're a fabulous family owned business. My order was exact and very delicious! Thank you Rose Garden! read more

I was dashing one evening and picked up an order for one of my customers here. I grabbed a menu and ended up ordering the next day for my family. It was absolutely amazing . I cherish restaurants like these. They keep me coming back for me read more

Wow. Talk about rude. The woman who took my take out order was really curt and rude. Maybe because I am Asian she treated me with disrespect. While waiting, she was very courteous with the other customers. I came only because my mother had a craving for their beef chow fun and chow mein. I know I am not coming back. read more

Service always fast and made to order I love this place I order few times a month Atleast

A small business but the food is the best!!! Uncle Wong was are go to for Chinese food but they closed their doors. Rose garden was 2 blocks from my home, drove by it often one day thought after trying other places never looked for another Chinese restaurant. So good read more

As soon as I got accustomed to the elevated service everything went topsy turvy here. During our last visit the food quality was mysterious and extremely unappealing. I cannot swear to it but I firmly believe we had someone's leftovers added to one dish. In total the food was so off putting we vowed never to return again. This is a personal disappointment because everything went crashing down at one of favorite reasonably priced establishments. I asked if the restaurant was sold/bought and I got a "no", yet I didn't recognize anyone. Good luck. read more

I love Rose Garden, not only is their food delicious and affordable but the people that work there and deliver the food are so nice. I work in San Leandro and it's a go to for my coworkers and I when we want to celebrate something or are just hungry for something other then the sandwich we brought. It's not fancy, but it is good. read more

The food was great, as well as the service. Furthermore, in late October 2023, the lovely woman who waited on my family was so honest and kind as to secure the I phone and sunglasses my son left on the table and return them to him when he accidentally left them on the table and we left and then came back for them. This place has great food and kind and honest people working there! read more

My husband and I have been ordering + eating at Rose Garden for about 6 yrs now. Last night we ordered the chicken chow mein for take out and when we got home, there was shrimp in it. We are allergic to shrimp so we were pretty upset about it. We called the restaurant and the owner was very apologetic and offered to remake our order and drop it off. We have always loved their food, chicken chow mein being our favorite, but after that encounter we love their business even more. The owner is wonderful and truly goes above and beyond for his guests. read more

My bf and I have struggled to find a good chinese restaurant and we're glad we finally found one. Definitely making this our new go-to. We ordered the orange chicken, pork fried rice, and fried chicken wings. No complaints and everything had flavor and good taste. I cannot stress enough how many times we've tried a Chinese restaurant only to be sourly disappointed and wishing to get some of that East coast chinese food. Craving some general Tso's so I'll have to try their general chicken Szechuan style to see if it is similar?? And/or can satiate the craving. read more

The place to order for catering. We had guess coming over and they were able to make all the food and deliver it to my house. Just a phone call away. The portion is huge compare to many other places. I used to love their salt and pepper fried chicken but they last two times I order it was sour. Other than that I love their beef chow fun, combination fried rice, chow mein and love their orange chicken. Love this place read more

Called in my order and it was ready in 15 minutes! Super fast! Ordered chicken chowmien, shrimp fried rice, walnut prawns, sweet and sour chicken and beef broccoli. They give small portions so you may want to double up if you're feeding a lot of people. They gave me a free order of pot stickers which I thought was nice. Everything was good except I didn't really get any chicken in my order of sweet and sour chicken. read more

The BBQ PORK FRIED RICE!! Is the best & only thing I come here for. SO good every single time. So much flavor- which seems to be a difficult thing for most other spots. I have tried other dishes here but they aren't my fave so this is the only thing I really recommend, oh plus the crab cream cheese rangoon those are pretty good. Busy most of the time I pop in there so the staff is moving very fast and may not come off as the most friendly but they really are. read more

RAW CHICKEN!!! I ordered a 10 pc salt n pepper chicken wing and the outside crust of the chicken was fried, but the inside was white and RAW. the skin still has bumps on it from not being cooked all the way, and eating it made me sick. Not to mention, the lady who answered the phone had horrible customer service. Rushing me off the phone, She had a very rude harsh tone and was basically yelling at me. I'm surprised I even continued to place my order. Would not recommend! Raw food is just horrible. read more

Delivery was prompt. Food was hot. Price was decent. Mongolian beef - chow mein and Szechuan leaves were good. Prawns could use less batter. I will order again read more

I always drive by this place because I live in the area and every day no matter what time of the day, there's always people coming in and out. I tried this place last week for the first time and come to find out my grandmother frequents the establishment. I only had the potstickers and the sizzling shrimp soup last time. Both were very good. Extremely fresh. Quick service and clean establishment. This week I tried the Kung pao three combo and the sweet & sour chicken. This is my new favorite Chinese spot hands down. Once again the service was quick. The lady taking orders is always sweet, patient, and pleasant and she works very well with the cook in the kitchen. The prices are extremely reasonable and 1 lunch serving can feed 2-3 hungry ppl. I will definitely be back. If you call in your order expect it to be done in 10 min so plan accordingly. They are very honest with their timing. read more

Love food & service! If you call for delivery the lady who takes your order can seem rude. But she is not. She's trying to get your address and order correct. Please be patient.

Ordered the general chicken and chow mein. It was really good and they gave me a lot! The cashier and cook were super nice as well.

Food is hot, fresh crispy ready to go. They cook it right in front of you. You can still dine in prices are reasonable and food is great.

Ordered hunan chicken extra spicy and got more vegetables than chicken and wasn't spicy at all wonton soup was bland no flavor and to much vegetables. chicken fried rice needed more chicken and rice was crunchy. Chinese restaurants are cheap on their chicken and meats and don't follow instructions at all. Ask them a question all you get is yes yes yes and nothing tasted good. Wish I ordered from somewhere else and saved my $50. Taco Bell tasted better. read more
