Wang Jia Wei in Union City had really good food, but the wait time was a bit long. It took a while for our food to come out, and it seemed like other customers were experiencing the same delay as well. One thing I did like was that they have photos of the dishes with the names on the wall, which makes it easier to see what you're ordering. The food itself was great though--the honey walnut shrimp was especially delicious and definitely a highlight. I'll probably come back to give them another chance haha, especially since that honey walnut shrimp was so good.

Came in and order some appetizers to go. I ordered the Sliced beef and tendon with ripe in chili sauce, the spicy potato salad and the beef shank with cucumber salad. The spicy potato salad was ok was not spicy at all. The sliced beef tendon dish was good but a bit too spicy for my taste. The beef shank and cucumber salad was by far my favorite. It was tasty and refreshing. Definitely be back for this dish. Will need to be back to try other things on the menu.

This place is bursting with good Sichuan flavors. A real highlight here is the relied hot spicy soup. It has perfectly tender fish in broth that has a nice Sichuan numbing spice that isn't too strong. The dry fried green beans are on the crispy side, and I think that they are definitely my favorite dish. I also loved the savory, juicy, and fresh dumplings. They came out quickly with great service. Everything was at the perfect temperature. There is a multitude of menu options, they definitely have you covered for those Chinese comfort food cravings. I can't wait to come back and try even more food!

Bang for your buck and yummy food. Casual place. We walked in Tuesday around 7pm and it wasn't busy. We underestimated the portion size. It's a shareable portion. No wonder the staff moved us from a table of 2 to a table of 4. We ordered Pork fried rice, fish with pickled veggies, east bay soup, and basil clams. Everything was good, but the fish with veggies was salty. Everything else wasn't overly salty. Most of the dishes were priced at around $16. The staff even pack your leftovers for you. We ordered tea and it was $2.50 a pot. Will be back to try more dishes!

I placed a takeout order by phone and was quoted a 30-minute wait time. When I arrived after the 30 minutes had passed, I was told the order would be ready in about another 10 minutes. Unfortunately, it ended up taking an additional 30 minutes beyond that. The food itself was good, but the inaccurate time estimates made the pickup experience frustrating. If you're ordering takeout, be prepared for a longer wait than what's quoted, as their timing for phone orders doesn't seem very reliable.

Ordered my meal takeout and needed to compliment the great flavor! 5/5 - Honey Walnut Prawn. The star of the show here has a very smooth and non-overwhelming honey glaze that sticks and portions well onto each prawn. The batter also remained very crunchy over a perfectly cooked prawn. You won't be disappointed ordering this dish! 5/5 - Fish Fillet in Wine Sauce. Fish fillets cooked PERFECTLY in a savory wine broth sauce. If you like fish and soup, this is one of their best dishes. I can't recommend it enough. The portion is generous and you can definitely share with others. 4/5 - Sesame Chicken. The chicken was a bit drier than I expected but the dish was still quite decent with a well-proportioned sesame sauce and sesame seed seasoning.

The Caveat: Your wait time could be anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour. Why? The table set up allows them to accommodate larger parties 8+, but that also means less small group tables. Please come patient for this small business. They have a waitlist where you leave name, phone number and group size, but it's written. So first come, first serve. Otherwise, it is well worth the wait. And I mean we left with left over because we underestimated the amount of food given! Every single dish is prepared fresh, none of them were under temperature or uncooked. Because of the food variety, we were waiting in between some dishes. However, it allowed us to fully focus and enjoy the dish in front of us. There is another review that accurately depicts the wait staff, but we only saw 3 staff members working at night. They are all kind, so try to see where they are coming from. We got a bunch of different dishes, but my top 3 were the Braised Red Pork Belly, General Tso's chicken and the stir fried pea shoots. Also had to try the beef chow fun because... Crispy Fry from Emeryville Public Market is still the best. Take a look at my photos and see the other dishes we tried, but all in all... I'm coming back again to try different dishes because there is less Americanized dishes here I feel like it connects me to my Chinese culture.

Wang Jia Wei had delicious food, the Szechuan chicken was flavorful with the perfect amount of spice, and the noodles were cooked just right. The only downside was the long wait; our food took about 45 minutes to arrive. I would give them 3.5/5, everything tasted great and would easily make it a solid 4-star experience if not for the delay.

Wang Jia Wei, one of the newest restaurant within the plaza around so I had to come and check it out. The furniture inside were decorated with traditional Chinese wooded chairs and table. There were able 4-5 tables dining when I came and got a to go order. Here are the things I got: Dong Po Pork Joint - 4 / 5 The pork had an unique taste that combines a little bit of sweet and sour sauce in this dish. It is different then how the Cantonese styled of Dong po tasted which is heavier on the soy flavoring instead. It tasted unique but definitely something to get used to if you haven't had this styled of Dong Po pork beforehand. Salt & Pepper fish fillet - 5 / 5 It's tough to get this dish wrong. The salt and pepper mix is just right along with the portion. If you don't frequent Chinese restaurants, this one is a safe bet to get and most of the time you'll get a winner out of it. The portion the chef gave was handsome, I greatly appreciate it. Bitter melon with egg - 4 / 5 The green bitter melon is really not as bitter as other bitter melons that I have had in the past. They scrambled it well with eggs and the salt portion is just right. If you like a good bitter melon like myself here and there, give this dish a try. Chive with egg - 5 / 5 When was the last time that you have had any chives like anywhere? Yea, me either. They've mixed it well with the eggs and the chef did a good job accentuating the smell and taste of chives. I love it. There's only one downside to this restaurant and it is the service. They told me 20 minutes to come back so I strolled around outside. I came back just to see them prepare for everyone else but mine? Wait, wtf? Another 15 minutes I waited until the dishes were completed. Jeez man, do I need to micromanage these waiters and waitress to get my orders on time? I'm not hard to please when it comes to Chinese restaurants cause I come expecting crappy service but waiting like another 15 minutes AFTER you told me to come back in 20 minutes is like close to double the waiting time. For what? 5 tables of people with 3 waiters inside? Come on now.

We went on a Friday afternoon for lunch and this place was packed. They have an extensive menu. We ordered bunch of items to share. We ordered the Colorful Mung Bean Noodle Salad, Shredded Daikon Puff Pastry, Napa Cabbage With Pork Rice Cake, Pork Rib With Potato and String Beans, Lamb With Onion, Bean Curd With Shredded Pork Over Rice( Lunch Special), Shanghai Style Salted Pirk With Veggie Fried Rice, and Fried Flour Roll. All the food didn't come out all at once. Some dishes came out 15 to 20 minutes in between. The salad came out towards the end of of our meal. The Shredded Daikon Puff Pastry came out when we're almost done with our meal. The Colorful Mung Bean Noodle Salad looks better than the taste of the salad. They did put effort into cutting the veggies. The Shredded Daikon Puff Pastry were good. However, I found an eye lash underneath one off them. We got grossed out.. The Napa Cabbage With Pork Rice Cake was meh. We had better elsewhere. The Pork Rib With Potato and String Beans Soup was very salty. It was almost inedible. The Lamb With Onion was a disappointment. Lamb had tendons and bones in them. The Shanghainese Style Salted Pork with Veggie Fried Rice was very, very greasy. The Fried Flour Roll was also a big disappointment. We thought the order would come with four Fried flour rolls vs to two and it didn't come with a side of condensed milk as a dipping sauce. For the price that they charged $9.95, it was a total ripped off for two small flour rolls. We had to flag down the waiter for everything. We only got service only when we asked and we had to wait too. They definitely need to hire more people. Even though the prices are reasonable, we wouldn't be back. There are some many other restaurants around that have better food.

ok this restaurant is so highly rated on yelp. Saw that it gets crazy on the weekends so we came with 3 sets of older Chinese (aunts uncles and my parents) on a Monday night. There were people but no wait. We were greeted immediately and sat down. My parents enjoyed ordering off the pictures on the wall instead. Our waitress said based on our crowd we'll do a lower salt option than normal and some of the dishes less spicy. The dishes arrived, I need to come back to try it with regular spice minus the older folk but man if this is "LESS SALT" i can't imagine what full salt tastes like. It was def salty and we needed extra bowls of rice to eat with it. I wish I would've taken more pics but you know we were hungry. I would skip out on the fish next time it was a bit too sweet for my tastes. The "ants climbing the mountain" noodles were tasty but I need to figure out a better way to mix it by the time we were done with it there was a ton of meat on the bottom that we weren't able to scoop up when we were getting the noodles.

THIS IS NOT A SHANGHAINESE RESTAURANT!!! (I have let the yelp mods know.) As confirmed by immigrant Chinese parents, this restaurant is a mishmash of EVERYTHING (Chinese American, Korean, etc) but they advertise themselves as a sichuan hunan restaurant with a focus on northeastern Chinese dishes--yes, this is what makes them special. Lunch special runs Monday to Friday except for Wednesday since they are closed until 2:30pm. No soup selection. No rice selection. Green beans with beef lunch special: - ugh hot and sour soup was lukewarm and cold with flavorless vibes... salty and not very sour or flavorful but had the typical ingredients... totally and completely disappointed - vegetable eggroll was gummy and crispy but probably the HIGHLIGHT of the entire meal; no sauce provided - lightly boiled broccoli... counteracted the saltiness of the dish - the beef was tender but the artificial tenderness and texture spooks me (Is the meat naturally this way?) - green beans are old and not very fresh as they were not very crisp Pickled cabbage lamb noodle soup - noodles were soft and overcooked - oily - lamb was on par with no strange after tastes Traditional sweet and sour pork - very thinly sliced pork with some slices having lots of fat - very dry, dense - sauce was delicious but filled with so much MSG; also comprised of raw garlic, raw ginger, raw carrots, raw green onions, raw cilantro, cornstarch - table next to us did not even touch this dish but instead brought the entire thing home... - I asked the waitress how to reheat this and she gave me an attitude and eye roll with the over confident phrase of "our dishes are all delicious even cold but you can use the microwave" OVERALL, all the dishes are FILLED with MSG. I was dying of thirst so much so I had 3 full sized drinks afterwards. They do not make their own hot sauce. SERVICE: - immediately concerning from the gecko as we asked a server what has been the most ordered noodle dish or what noodle dish do they recommend... she could not even tell us anything and had vibes of not even knowing the menu... another server immediately comes over - as stated above, rude with an over confident and obnoxious attitude - automatically provides iced water with lemon in a dirty canister but has hot tea available in a portable kettle AMBIENCE: - I love how the wall is filled to the brim with photos of their dishes but I felt as if the wall was closing in since the photos are all black and dark (I'm claustrophobic) - they provide brand name toilet paper :) - clean bathroom LOCATION: - next to din din dumplings - tight parking spaces - convenient location due to multiple adjacent plazas, options, and services Will I be coming back? - I heard this place was delicious from multiple Yelp elites hence I really really really wanted to try this place. I am completely astonished in a bad way and disappointed. I would not come back solely due to the massive amounts of MSG used.

Another great Chinese spot opened up in the area! Really tasty and affordable dishes with decent portions. Dishes do run on the saltier side but tons of umami flavor. I especially liked the whole fish in spicy sauce which was a garlicky flavor explosion. Paired really nicely with the classic salted pork and veggie fried rice shanghainese style. The most unique dish of all was the candied sweet potatoes! They serve this with a bowl of water to dip in, which hardens the sticky sweet coating. It's like tanghulu but in sweet potato form! So fun to eat and nothing like i've ever had. Service was quick and food came out fast, even when the place was packed! Seats and tables are very close in proximity. Looks like they also have great lunch special deals. Definitely would be back!
