    First time here
    Joe P.

    It was my first time here, and I really enjoyed the food and the customer service. The ladies were pretty nice and the service was pretty fast. It was good experience. Really great great food. Come check them out. I will be back for more.

    Honey walnut prawn lunch plate
    Juicke C.

    Food was ordered through delivery service. It delivered slightly ahead of schedule and warm too. The honey walnut prawn had a thick coat of batter yet crispy and nicely sized prawn and the honey coat walnut was slightly sweet. The sweet and sour spare rib was nicely flavored. Both dishes were lunch portion and good value.

    Fish filet in hot chili oil

    So when ppl here say the portions are HUGE, they're really not joking. We ordered the chili fried chicken, fish in hot chili oil, and the eggplant with garlic sauce and took home a full ass meal after we'd finished (over) eating. All dishes came out as we hoped/expected with both the chicken and fish providing the nummy sensation that is unique to Szechuan cuisine. We threw in the eggplant order because we wanted some veggies and something that didn't overtly threaten to numb our palettes and were very happy with that as well. Chicken was fried well and not dry at all which was a lovely experience. Fish was also flavorful and enjoyable to eat, although perhaps the least memorable of the dishes. I wouldn't NOT get any of the dishes again and might elevate the chicken as a must get if you're there for the a Szechuan experience. Well probably come back the next time we get a craving for that nummy feeling.

    Little divey restaurant in downtown Hayward. This place has been around for everrrr. Not sure if all the same owner?? We came for dinner and got the Salt and pepper shrimp. Chicken chow mein, pork fried rice and green beans. Everything has great flavor and well seasoned. The food came out quick and hot: They always had tea going during the meal as well as water. My only suggestions would be more chicken in the chicken chow mein (it had little to none) and use a little less oil. The food was a bit on the oily side. Shrimp was fire as well as the pork fried rice and those green beans with garlic were delicious!! Pot stickers were good. Street parking. Small eat in area. Lota of to go orders. Reasonable prices.

    My friend and I got overcharged here. Boiling hot fish filets is listed as $22.95 Pork blood/beef/tripe in chili soup was listed as $21.95 We also ordered a noodle dish to share, but it never showed up. We let it go because the portions were huge. That should come out to $44.9, but our check came out to $49.73, and that's not including tip. I tipped 15% because that was the amount on the screen, but now I'm thinking I shouldn't have. I was expecting beef in my soup, but it looked and tasted like ham slices, so I was very confused. Never coming back here. There's a smorgasbord of better Chinese places everywhere else.

    Eggplant with garlic sauce
    Victor L.

    Good food and good value. This is a hole in the wall small restaurant with about a dozen tables on a busy street. However, the food is very good and authentic with large portion. Customer service is adequate due to its size. The waitress is very nice and gave us some good recommendations. We were about to order something and she told us it is not good. We order eggplant with garlic sauce and cilantro beef. Both are well seasoned, aromatic and delicious. Will definitely come back.

    Came in on a Wednesday late afternoon for lunch. It wasn't busy so they sat us right away. We had our toddler and baby with so they brought out 2 kid safe plates and cups without us having to ask. No frills type of place but food was solid. We ordered eggplant with green beans, mapo tofu, chengdu cold noodle, braised beef noodle soup, beef and tendon in chili sauce and the lunch honey walnut shrimp plate. I enjoyed everything except the mapo tofu. I would re order everything but the mapo tofu next time.

    Beef tofu
    Sherprina L.

    Tasty food, greeted immediately and told us to pick any table. After that, typical Chinese restaurant service. Clean, no frill dining room. Order via QR code. The egg plant came out first, very tasty, love the garlic glaze, super hot temperature inside (good thing). I don't know how they get the temp to stay so hot after being served and sat on the table for at least a few minutes before I took a bite. The sliced beef with tofu was good, but not as spicy as I thought, the beef too salty, so not sure if will order again. The salt and pepper chicken wings were very good, crispy on the outside, juice and hot on the inside. Will come to try other dishes

    We love this ppace so much ~ It is usually bery busy on weekday nights and all weekend. We came in on a weekday for lunch and it was reasonably busy. We ordered the cumin lamb and chicken with noodles and taro. The cumin lamb is very crispy and the chicken with noodles has so many spices in it. Overall, very delicious and one of my favorite sichuan places to eat at in east bay.

    43. Deep-Fried Pork Intestines
    Chris M.

    This place is pretty amazing for its Sichuan cuisine, as far as we have tried so far. The service is excellent and friendly. And while it has a bit of a small diner feel, it has very nice chopsticks, the plates are of really good quality, and even the yea comes in a fancy bronze or brass metal Asian carafe. If you want that hua jiao numbing spice, these folks have you covered with very flavorful mala dishes. We had fish in green pepper broth and pan fried pork intestines and they were both quite tasty. Be aware that they have a very extensive menu that is not reflected in the website. We will be back for sure!

    The food here is very average, the two waitresses at the front have a terrible attitude, and the place isn't very clean.

    I am in search of a local restaurant to order take out for party of 7, are your portion size dining in equal for take out? I have experienced take out with much smaller portions than dining in at some restaurants.

    I brought own containers for take-outs from them many, many times. The quantities were always same. Just order like dine-in, or place two orders if really like string beans or…

    Besides Dublin/Pleasanton, San Leandro is one of our favorite destinations for Chinese food. Yao…read moreYao is located in the same shopping plaza as Fusion Delight, and is a brightly lit casual restaurant with funky teal color and robot servers. The food is order by touchpad, and is a combination of Chinese BBQ meats, Sichuan-style entrees, and a limited selection of steamed dim sum. We ordered a little but if everything for lunch. Overall, excellent restaurant with only a few minor dings. 1. For BBQ meats, definitely prioritize the BBQ pork (Char Siu) - super soft and succulent and great balance of sweet and savory. The chicken however, is of the Yellow Feather Breed, famous for thick skin, extra subcutaneous fat, but really lean and thin meat. I prefer meatier chicken but not so much skin and fat. For that, the Peking Duck may be better (also on the menu!). 2. My son and bro-in-law enjoyed the stewed beef brisket over rice, also super soft and juicy. 3. From the Sichuan menu, the pickled fish in soup is excellent, and comes with lotus roots and rice noodles. Its a really interesting flavor profile, and I liked the semi-firm texture of the fish filets. Its great with the Chinese Gai Lan as a veggie side dish. 4. For Dim Sum, highly recommend the Malaysian Sponge Cake - warm, melt-in-your mouth, brown sugar goodness. Not too rubbery and really fun to eat since each piece is like a giant sponge. Service is a bit hectic and you'll need to ask extra for extra plates and utensil, or to order more stuff. Otherwise, it's an excellent restaurant and we look forward to coming back.

    Their menu inside and their receipts spell their name as one word...Jingege. Why different on this…read morelisting? There's usually a pretty good line right by the register, so this place is pretty well known by the Asian locals. Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup ($16/2*) First outing here I sat for lunch and tried this. Surprisingly disappointing seeing how busy and popular this place is. The wontons were okay, decent flavor with a strong sesame oil presence. But they weren't that plump and luxurious, just seemed like homemade/amateur versions. Which is fine, except given the nicer restaurant feel, I just expected something more elevated. The noodles were fine, super thin egg noodles that had a nice QQ. BUT their broth was so bland and unremarkable that it kinda ruined the whole experience. I couldn't even taste/detect the protein that made up the stock, just tasted like murky liquid to me. And zero condiments on the table, so I just ate the wontons and the plain tasting noodles cuz the broth couldn't offer anything to the noodles. Womp womp. And their bowl of choice is very weird to eat from. Super tall bowl that if you leave a spoon in there it will sink and be submerged for you to fish out...in piping hot liquid. If I would have reviewed this place just on this one visit, then it surely would have been a sub 3* rating. But I knew I couldn't leave my impression with that one lone visit. Roast Duck - Half ($20/4*) Came back for some take-out deli items and I was handsomely rewarded. Total 180 experience from the soup outing. Their ducks here are slightly more expensive than most others for the area. But it is still worth it imo. They cut it with good skill and even for a take-out box they present it nicely, with the shape of duck still somewhat intact. The skin is not crisp at all but it is very well rendered. Some pieces were not that salty at all but some other pieces are well seasoned, which I thought was strange. But overall a very solid roast duck is to be found here. There's also a big scoop of these tiny beans that are slightly sweet almost like baked beans just not as gloopy. But the bean texture is very al dente, almost crunchy, which I found very strange. Macao Roast Pork w/ Rice ($19/4.5*) This is crazy good...I'll even say special. Super seasoned pork belly is roasted til the skin gets crisp...like chicharon status, except it is just a very thin layer of crispness. So the balance between the sturdy crunch and juicy flavorful meat was practically perfect. It is definitely on the salty side, almost the same intenseness as eating Spam with white rice, but white rice offsets those salty components beautifully. And they garnish this massive plate with perfectly blanched gai lan (Chinese Broccoli) and some other pickled greens that add a nice sweet and tangy component. So between the decadent pork, white rice and diverse greens offerings just made this a complete one stop shop that could make a regular out of me. There's also a Share Tea next door so I've got a harmonious tandem going on here. Lucky Ducky Me yassss!

    I ordered take out of their soy sauce chicken ($30) and BBQ pork ($21). The chicken was moist and…read moreflavorful- just the right balance of sweetness and saltiness. On the other hand, the bbq pork was wayyyy too fat. There was hardly any meat, I basically tossed the whole thing away. A good BBQ pork should have the right mix of meat to fat ratio.
