    Montage of images from Tsing Tao Restaurant
    Ed U.

    Remember in the golden days before GrubHub and DoorDash when you had a kitchen drawer devoted to your food delivery menus? The Chinese menu was usually the folded pink one with the grease stains. That's where the Tsing Tao menu is in my mind because you can get the classics delivered from here, and Jamie W. and I were in such a mood one recent rainy evening. We started off with the $10.95 Large Hot & Sour Soup which we think they prepare pretty darn well with just the right amount of spice and bamboo shoots to satisfy (photo: https://bit.ly/43u75xW). We thought the $8.50 Chicken Salad was the right complement as it was simply made, a hefty pile of deep-fried chicken bites over iceberg lettuce accompanied by what tasted like 1,000-island dressing (photo: https://bit.ly/41rp1Yd). Our main dish was the $13.95 carb-heavy Chicken Chow Fun, a throwback comfort dish from the days when calories didn't seem to matter. Good though a bit heavy on the brown sauce (photo: https://bit.ly/3GEaUXz). The highlight turned out to be the $11.95 Dry Braised String Beans which had enough snap and chili spice to make it a filling entree on its own (photo: https://bit.ly/405lQUG). A retro vintage dinner for two. FOOD - 4 stars...old school Chinese takeout that works AMBIANCE - n/a...it was a delivery but I've passed by it on San Pablo near the freeway entrance SERVICE - 3.5 stars...decently packed TOTAL - 4 stars...where's that pink menu?

    Oh my God yes I don't know why it took so long I finally found a Chinese restaurant with good food, cheap prices, and big portions lunch special! ! ! Just last week, I was telling ma BAE, "OMGGGG I misssss the places me and my coworkers used to eat lunch at in Monterey. It was all greasy, and they gave us a big ol' plate of food with like a entree and a side, and it came with soup, and it was tons of food for lunch and I always took leftovers for dinner and it was like super cheap tooooo... " And she was like, "Wha-?" Then I was driving by and we were stopped at the red light and I looked over and I saw the sign: Deli 510-215-1283 / Very Lunch Special $7.95 w rice & soup !!!!!!! So today I looked online and saw they have my favorite Sweet & Sour Pork. So I called and I ordered the Sweet & Sour Porkkkkkk. And they said 10 MINUTES! haha That's super fast! So I went down there and I paid super cheap so I added a tip even though it was for pick-up. And I brought it home and I looked in the bag and I laughed, and I brought it to ma BAE laughing the whole way to show her how big the portions are--and it even came with soup!!! And I ate it to my heart's content and I even had leftovers for dinner, or for lunch again tomorrow! Thank You, Chinese Food Jesus. If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful!

    For someone who doesn't like Chinese food. I would go here again. The food wasn't gross, but it wasn't amazing. The food wasn't greasey. It tasted good. The owner was nice she stayed open for us. The was nice and friendly. She also got everyone's order right. There were 5 different orders, and they were all different food. Some people ordered more than others. The ambiance was good they had a large dining room with a large TV.

    L1. Chicken with Mixed Vegetables Lunch Special
    Anthony P.

    The food is absolutely inedible. Salty and tasted old maybe even rancid. The service was great which lead me to think the food would be OKAY at worst. I wouldn't go back if they payed me.

    Chicken wonton soup
    Teresa O.

    Look this place has 3 1/2 stars and maybe it's because you can go to a place across from San Pablo casino and get a big plate for cheap Or panda express or a newer looking building with Chinese food, But this place for sure deserves more than three stars. You know everyone has different taste buds and I've tried different Chinese places here in Richmond and surrounding cities and so far this one is the, "only one," I have returned too. They are very good and flavorful. I have not dined in so I can't read the service but I do know over the phone. They understand me, I understand them and they get the order right every time so that reason service is good. Also, you get free chow mein or free fried rice or spring rolls if your order is over 50. So we got the chow mein. I can't describe the ambience because I've never eaten inside but outside it looks like a hole in the wall and very old building so maybe people judge it. But I would say if you ever passing by the, "RICH," go right there if you're looking for some good Chinese food. tummy fully loaded!

    Mongolian Beef and orange chicken (more like brown chicken)
    Tmoney N.

    Very salty Mongolian beef. Very little beef and a lot of onion. First time ordering this dish and will also be the last! The other dish was orange chicken. As you can see, this looks more like overcooked brown chicken than orange chicken. The presentation is bad but worse is the taste and food quality. The chicken is heavily covered with powder and very little chicken is on the inside. Will have to pass on this dish too! It's unfortunate that Panda Express has better quality food!

    Vegetable and fried bean curd lunch special
    Goku U.

    If you're craving a lot of food for low price, then Tsing Tao is the place for you. For example, the lunch special can be easily made into 2 or even 3 meals depending on how big your appetite is. I had order the garlic broccoli, vegetable chow mein, and fried bean curd with vegetables (lunch special). All dishes tasted ok, nothing too special. The vegetables were not overcooked and still had a good crunch. The restaurant is right off the freeway and has plenty of street parking out front.

    Pics of 2 of their crap puff, no crab to be found and for the price can't help but feel ripped off

    I haven't been able to get through to them for several days.Does anyone know why?Are they on vacation or is something wrong?No answer and their mailbox is full

    They always answer the phone. Have you checked the number that you have? I always order pick-up.

    Do they have lunch on weekends also? Do they deliver all day if you order $15 or more and pay the $2? Or just at night?

    Since the corona virus and the shelter in place order,is Tsing Tao still open for take out and delivery?

    Yes. Takeout. Not sure about delivery. Just call and ask

    Hidden gem in El Sobrante that serves up some of the best Laotian and Thai food in the Bay Area…read more Every time we visit, must-orders are the Nam Khao (crispy rice ball salad with fermented pork sausage and fresh herbs) and Ka Soy (Laotian noodle soup). If you see Nam Khao on the menu of a Laotian/Thai restaurant, that means they know what they are doing just because it's so labor-intensive to make a salad(!) and the fermented pork has to be damn-near perfect for this salad to really shine and round out the fresh herbs and seasonings which includes lime juice, vinegar, and fish sauce. Ka Soy (the noodle soup) is a comfort food enjoyed in Southeast Asia. It's not the Thai-style where it's a curry broth and the noodles are fried, so let's not get it mixed up. Instead, it's bone broth that been simmered for hours and it's somewhat a lighter broth. The noodles are wide rice noodles in a big bowl of hot broth served with a mixture of ground pork cooked down with tomatoes along with fresh bean sprouts, scallions, and cilantro - simply a divine noodle soup that a must-try. It's not overly complex in terms of flavor, but it's a bowl of good ol' noodle soup that is comforting and great-tasting. If you haven't tried Laotian food, give Sue's Kitchen a try. try some new flavors and you may just become a regular (if you aren't already). The owners are friendly too! It's a husband-and-wife team!

My parents came here last year and said the food was good BUT the crab fried rice was fishy so... I decided to just get regular fried rice and chicken wings. I was really looking forward to it since they have such high ratings but boy was I WRONG. My dad even called it, "I don't trust ordering from restaurants within 45minutes of them closing because they like to rush it." Also, "15 minutes seems too quick for them to cook the food" Well yeah my dad was 100000% right! The chicken tasted as if it was cooked then REFRIED. The meat was dry as he**. The skin was too hard and just unpleasant. The fried rice was disgusting. It didn't even taste like fried rice. If anything it had a weird taste and a dash of pepper. My mom said it literally tasted like BENS RICE OUT OF A BOILED BAG! No eggs even were in it! I'm just so pissed because this was supposed to be our dinner after an 8+ hour drive. I will be calling to request a refund since they closed after we received our food back at the hotel. I had to just throw the whole thing away! Yeeeeeucccckkkk

There's definitely room for improvement in that arena. Food is delicious here, and I particularly love the sweet and sour pork! House fried rice and beef broccoli here is also amazing. Although I've had better honey walnut prawns, the ones here are still good (just pricey considering I prefer other places over it). Portion sizes are huge, even for sharing among 3-4 people.

When we walked in, no staff was out front, so we stood around a bit before we were seated. The staff quickly disappeared again, and throughout our meal, they were usually disappeared somewhere in the back. If you want something quick like extra utensils or napkins, you may need to wait a bit before someone appears. When ordering, we wanted to try both the Beef Buzz ($14.99) and the Fried Beef Buzz ($15.99). The lady who took our order said they were the same thing, and offered to just give us one half/half order instead of ordering two of essentially the same dish. We agreed to that offer, but she didn't mention anything about how that'll be charged. Of course, we ended up being charged the higher price of $15.99. Not a huge deal, but some better communication there would've been appreciated. We also ordered the Beef Huushuur ($14.99). The Beef Huuchuur arrived first, and it didn't look anything like we expected. The photos from online reviews all looked it'd come in an empanada shape, but it actually came in a large, flat, circular shape. They were all laying against one another in a slanted position, and it made all the oil pool in the bottom of the dish, and the pieces that were covered became very oily and soggy underneath. The parts of the dough that weren't soggy were wonderfully crispy and delicious though. It'd make a significantly better difference if the Huuchuur were placed spread out from each other instead of lying on top of each other to maintain the crispiness on all surfaces. The beef filling was nicely seasoned and well flavored. The Beef Buzz had essentially the same filling as the Huuchuur, but different exterior. Unfortunately, I still have the same opinions of it being way too oily overall. The non-fried pieces sometimes broke apart at the bottom due to the sogginess. The fried version did not have a crispy texture at the bottom either, I'm guessing due to the excess amount of oil on the dish. Again, the flavors were great, but execution and presentation definitely has room for improvement. In summary, this was a great introduction to Mongolian dumplings for me. Very delicious flavors, and I'd love to try Huuchuurs again in the future because I love crispy fried foods with a good texture. However, I'd probably look for a place that goes way more easy on the oil.

    I think the "3-star" Yelp average is correct for this place…read more On a Saturday evening, I drove up to Pinole just to try the Hung Tao Yee Won Ton Soup at China House. It was near 5pm, and the dining room was empty. They said most of the orders were for takeout and delivery. So I was seated right away, and they offered me hot tea. So I ordered the Hung Tao Yee Won Ton Soup, and also "Salt 'n Pepper Prawns" as listed under House Specialties on their menu. For $15.95, it's a huge bowl of soup. It could be enough for 2-3 people. Hung Tao Yee Won Ton Soup is fried won ton in thicken egg drop soup. I added pepper and a splash of soy sauce, and it was perfect. Grade (4/5). However, the Salt 'n Pepper Prawns were not perfect. They were served deep fried, with jalapeño pepper slices. I asked for "in-shell." So they were deep fried with the shell still on. That usually means they'll have more flavor. These prawns were mushy and had a slightly fishy aftertaste. This suggests that they were frozen and not fresh. China House didn't season them enough to mask the off-taste. Other restaurants add a coarse salt and maybe a dipping sauce. The batter coating tasted fine, but the prawn itself wasn't good. Grade (2/5). Service was prompt and attentive.
