    We couldn't decide we're to eat for lunch. We've drove past this place numerous times but decided to finally go in. Such a good hidden spot for lunch. We were greeted right away and service was wonderful. We got everything in such a timely manner. We order 4 items off the lunch menu and went home with so much leftovers. Everything was so great and lots of flavor. Our new favorite spot. Come for lunch time and leave full with leftovers. You won't be disappointed.

    House Fried Rice Mandarin Chicken

    I'm torn, I really am. I would like to give a higher rating to local businesses however most of my food just wasn't good. The service was great, however, it did not match the quality of the food. For my main entree, I got House fried rice & mandarin chicken, and I also got a Combination wonton soup on the side. The house fried rice was okay, nothing special, not bad, not great. The mandarin chicken was horrible. Each piece was 90% breading & 10% tough, hard chicken pieces. No crunch to the breading either, just a bouncy mush. The only saving grace was the soup. It was delicious, actually. Probably one of the best won ton soups I have had. It had BBQ pork which added a whole ton of flavor for the whole broth. I may be back, I might not; if I do, I hope their food is better.

    I placed a large take out order - great variety of food & ready in a timely manner. Plenty of parking available in the lot, friendly server I was greeted immediately!

    Not sure why this place has such a low rating because the food was actually really good!…read more We ordered takeout and everything held up nicely. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was definitely the star (5/5). Crispy, sweet, and super satisfying. The Chow Fun was also a favorite (5/5) with great texture and flavor. The Orange Chicken (4/5) and both the Veggie Fried Rice (4/5) and Pork Fried Rice (4/5) were solid. Flavorful and good portions. Since we ordered to go, I don't have much to say about the ambiance or service, but based on the food alone, I would definitely order from here again!

    Quick n' easy Chinese food. It's about average, nothing to rave about. The food is okay. Edible,…read morebut not extravagant. I've eaten take out here numerous times when I crave Chinese take-out. There's just not much to work with in Oakley, CA. I would say Uncle Wong is just about the same with the competitors. The food, without getting into specifics, can be inconsistent-- sometimes bland, sometimes, a little less bland. Just like any other Chinese take-out, the food can also be oily, which is expected. The serving size is about the same as others, as well as the price. The 3 stars stem from them at least being "okay", service and readiness being quick, and priced decently. The inside is small, ran down -- horrific bathroom, but at least I never dine in. Until Oakley has something better, it'll do.

    First and foremost, I'd like to give a huge thank you to Jeanette for being such a wonderful host…read moreand treating us like family. She is a key reason as to why we want to keep coming back; her attitude and enthusiasm is fantastic. Me and my family enjoyed our dinner and loved every dish we ordered. Their wonton soup is an excellent choice for a starter and can be shared up to at least 3 people. The wontons are fresh and tasty, the mushrooms are chunky and complement well with the bakchoy. There's even thinly sliced red pork which adds some taste and texture to the soup. We thoroughly enjoyed their spicy Mongolian chow fun. This had some sweetness to it but also some heat which was just right. The beef was super tender! It melts in your mouth. My wife ordered the Sun Kitchen sushi special which was delicious and had big pieces. The quality of sushi here is great! My son enjoyed his bento box which consisted of teriyaki grilled chicken, salad with creamy sesame dressing and then large pieces of vegetable tempura. This is an excellent deal with a good amount of choices to choose from. Jeanette and Tony frequently stopped by to check on us and made sure our meals were good and our drinks were refilled. They are so accommodating and inviting. The music they were playing in the background was on point! They were playing smooth R&B in which me and my wife were dancing. It's spacious inside the restaurant and can hold a good amount of guests. I will say, I wish the temperature was cooler inside; it was a bit warm but didn't really bother us. We can't wait to come back! We love this place!

Ordered a Beef teriyaki bento box but the meat looked like boiled meat. It was sad and gross looking. My daughter ordered the Salmon Teriyaki Bento box and she didn't touch the whole fish. Flavorless and No teriyaki sauce in sight! We brought the meat home to our dog, at least it didn't go to waist. We also ordered a Beef Chow Fun that was taken to another table and then the dish was sent back and guy walked over to place it on our table. I guess they don't care about cross contamination! I had to send it back. We ordered two beef Udon soups that never came. By then we just asked for our check. It took them a long time to bring us our check and also to ring us up. Sadly won't be returning. We should have just went with our original plan to dine at Misaka. Seems like this restaurant is ran by Chinese people and probably should just stick with Chinese food. Stop trying to serve two different food genres and then botch it!

    I'm very impressed with their authentic chinese bbq. I got the Roast Duck, Haianese Chicken, and…read moreCrispy Pork Belly. This is definitely on par with Oakland & SF Chinatown. Reasonably price. Honestly, the pork belly is the star and could be the best I've had in a long time considering I still live and grew up in Oakland. At other chinese bbq spots the skin to me is usually very crunchy and chewy. But Roast Eatery pork belly skin is so light and crispy, that after a few bites the tender meat and fat slowly melts in your mouth making it very enjoyable. The sweet sauce with the pork belly is new to me. it's interesting but i prefer eating it with the ginger scallion because it helps cut the richness from the pork belly. The Haianese Chicken is exceptional. Cooked perfectly to tendernism. Anyone new to chinese bbq and wondering why the chopped chicken bone is still red or pink, that's called myoglobin so don't worry it's already cooked and means that it's perfectly gently poached. Of course, always take caution, ask questions and do a little research. If you're afraid, just eat around it, but this will probably be the best and healthiest way to eat chicken if you're on a diet. Roast Duck was flavorful, tender and nicely roasted. Definitely your go to local spot if you're in the East County (Oakley, Brentwood, or Antioch). It's also on par with local favorite spots in Oakland Chinatown like Gold Medal. Service is very straight forward and quick to order. The staff are friendly. Got our order in less than 10 minutes. Overall, I will be coming here more frequently for my chinese bbq fix and quick healthy lunch. They also own the dim sum bakery next door and it's definitely a hit too!

    Had a rare craving for Chinese food and ordered a Hainan chicken rice plate…read more The rice plate for $14 is a quarter chicken with a healthy portion of white rice, and a mound of boiled cabbage. It's the priced the same as the $14 "half" chicken, so by far the half chicken is the better value. The chicken itself was moist. It's the traditional Chinese yellow chicken, so there was not a lot of meat on it. Love ginger scallion sauce and I asked for extra, which I got. The shredded, boiled cabbage on the side was a nice thought to round out the meal. Too bad I don't like cooked cabbage... The rice in the rice plate was plain white rice and didn't seem all that fresh as parts of it were hard and clumpy. I wish there was chicken rice that went with the Hainan chicken, but I guess the rice plate here is just that...basic white rice that goes with any protein.
