I always come here for my chow mein and ho fun noodles! Every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas it's my jam to make Garlic Soy Noodles for my family's potlucks! For Thanksgiving I got the 5lb bag of egg noodles and only did 3lbs (saved the rest in the freezer for those "what should I make for dinner" nights). Apparently, it wasn't enough! Some people didn't get my A-MAZINGLY DELICIOUS noodles ;*) !! Now it's Christmas potluck time and I'm going back for the usual 5lbs, how come it seems so little this time??!! The worker heard my dilemma and pointed the 10lb price ($15). And guess what I went home with??? I am not sure how I'm going to make the noodles! I am going to get some toned arms for Christmas! read more

Yuen Hop Co - TEN POUNDS for $15! - International Grocery Near Me - Oakland, California

You just can't beat the prices at Yuen Hop! 10lbs of egg noodles for 13 bucks. It's about $4-5/pound at any other oriental store like ranch 99. I always make garlic noodles for holidays, parties and just family get togethers in general - so this is my go-to place. The consistency, thickness and taste of the noodles is 10/10 - even my family says they notice the difference when I cook with these! I usually order in bulk (80ish + lbs) since it's a drive from where I live and parking isn't great. I call ahead and ask to talk to someone who speaks English and make sure they set this amount aside for when I arrive. They're always very thankful for business and even help load my car. It's in Chinatown (a very congested area) so it's best if you can have someone wait in the car while another person runs in to pay! Yuen Hop never disappoints :) read more

Yuen Hop Co - Egg Noodles - International Grocery Near Me - Oakland, California

So many fresh noodles, tofu. I came here to buy mirin and some veggies. Everything looks fresh and way less expensive than Ranch 99.

This is my favorite place for fresh noodles and dumpling skins of all types! I've tried many brands of potsticker skins and Yuen Hop's are so much better than everyone else's. They're so soft, flexible, and truly a joy to work with. Because they're so fresh, you barely even need water to seal the edges of your dumplings and the skins never crack. I've also tried their wonton wrappers and egg noodles which are also wonderful. read more

This place sells the best fresh Chinese noodles I've ever had. The sell them in 1lb up to 10lb bags. I usually get a lb of the plain chowmein noodles for $1.99 which is an unbeatable price for super fresh quality noodles. They also sell fresh produce and other staples. The prices are very competitive and the quality is great. Give them a try. read more

FRESH NOODLES! We come here to get Ee-Fu noodle for hot pot, thick noodles for the infamous garlic noodle, and fresh chow fun. It's cheaper the more poundage of noodle you purchase. We usually get the 5 cakes of Ee Fu noodle and the 10 pound bag of thick noodle ($13). Parking is tricky, so usually D drops me off and "double parks" while I run in. read more

Love that this place offers fresh tofu, noodles, and potsticker and wonton skins! They also have a nice variety of sauces and condiments- it's a good option to stop by if you need to grab something quick instead of making the trek to KP mart or Ranch 99 read more

This is my go to place for won ton skins which has been around for years. My Dad used to get the won skins from here. YHC has a wide assortment of freshly made won ton skin wrappers, dumpling wrappers, spices, sauces, other bottled and canned items, and an assortment of vegetables and fruits at prices much better than your basic supermarkets. I come here to purchase the thin won ton skins, green onions and water chestnuts for my Dad's won ton recipe (60 years and counting). The won tons I make are along the lines of the ones that King Wah Restaurant made. The original Owner of King Wah said his secret was oyster sauce which is what my Dad used too. If you're making won ton, dumplings or noodles this is the place to get fresh noodles and wrappers. Love, love their product, can't make good won to. With fresh good wrappers. read more

Yuen Hop Co - Shrimp and Pork Won Ton (wrappers from Hop Yuen Co.) - International Grocery Near Me - Oakland, California

Its a diamond in the rough, you know how aggressive those ladies can be with their pink bags looking for the best and freshest deal! My mom is included in that company and has been coming here for 40 years, rather thank piggybacking on her bounty I figured I should get my own since having kids. Their fresh noodles are BOMB especially in the 10 pound pack, its such a deal. We enjoy the thin ones which cook in 20 seconds or less, no one wants a soggy noodle, such heresy! PRO tip: they freeze very well, just bundle them into serving sizes for the family. read more

Went last Saturday. Picked up 3 pounds of noodles and 1 pound of wonton wrappers along with peas sprouts. Yum, just like how I remembered from the last time I was here. Yuen Hop makes the freshest noodles around! Give it a try as you will love them as our family has for many years :-) read more

Fresh noodle especially the egg noodle and the wonton skin very good ! Staffs are friendly.

Best Chinese fresh noodles!! Hands down!! Take them home and freeze them to have whenever you want! read more

Some cool things here you don't see at other Chinese groceries. Fresh tofu and frozen dumplings. Great selection overall.

Love this place for fresh won ton wraps (different thickness), potsticker, and dumpling wraps and fresh egg/rice noodles in various thickness! Just bought 6 of the medium won ton wraps (abt 35 to a pack) to make and freeze as needed for these cold days...also, will make some for a few lucky friends! Also, bought these items to add to the won ton: * fresh water chestnuts (beats the one in the can!) * fresh shitake or dried (i prefer dried as it gives more flavor) * green onions * sesame oil * light Kikkoman soy sauce * chicken stock * bok choy Note: ground pork can be bought next door, fresh BBQ pork or duck 2 doors down...and raw, peeled shrimp from another store in the area! YAY! read more

Date: 8/23/2015 Time: 2:15 PM 72° Sunny & warm Yuen Hop has been around for many, many years - even before I was born in 1951. They were established in 1931 - probably the oldest business in Oakland Chinatown. My parents had a Chinese grocery store on 8th Street, between Webster and Franklin Streets from September 1959 until the Summer of '72. At that time, our store was one of their clients. Almost everyday, my parents would sent my siblings and me to get their fresh noodles (at least 20 pounds), egg roll and won ton skins (3 to 5 pounds) to sell in our store and/or delivery to Chinese restaurants on the outskirts of Oakland Chinatown. I remember the fresh noodles, egg roll and won ton skins being made and the huge boxes of eggs (15 dozen box) sitting close by. Yesterday's memories of the layout of Yuen Hop are gone, such that when I entered the store, I did not recognize it anymore. I stopped in at Yuen Hop for a cold bottled water. I did not get any of their mochis...darn! Cost of a 23.7 ounce bottled water: 99¢! What a bargain! I doubt if I can get it any cheaper elsewhere. The only drawback of coming to Oakland Chinatown and businesses such as Yuen Hop is parking. It's difficult unless one parks at the Renaissance Plaza public garage. For me, it's best to use public transportation (AC Transit #51A or #20) from Alameda. I have been away from Yuen Hop far too long. There's nothing like chow mein and/or won ton soup made from fresh noodles and won ton skins. Even their produce are reasonably priced. Thus, there will be more visits to my old "stomping grounds" to browse, shop and reminisce of my past. read more

This is my go to spot for fresh noodles. They have so many different types of fresh noodles and dumpling wrappers. There are thin, thick, wheat, rice, etc. I love this place. I come to Oakland Chinatown just so I can come here and buy noodles. They also sell fresh produce, Asian sauces and dry goods, and frozen dumplings. The place is clean, the cashiers are efficient, and they accept credit cards. read more

They sell fresh tasting black sesame/peanut butter mochi that's pre-packaged up in the front by the register. It's 7 pieces in a pack for $2.50! Cheap. You gotta eat them within 1-2 days because they are made from rice flour. Don't refrigerate them or they get hard. They also sell noodles & stuff but I didn't buy anything else. Will be back for more mochi & to try the fresh rice noodles. read more

The main thing I go here for is that their freshly made noodles (of different types), tofu, wonton wrappers, and soy milk. Making Chow Mein with fresh noodles versus the dried/packaged stuff makes such a big difference. They also have comparable priced and quality fruits and veggies compared to other grocery stores in Chinatown. I've been going there for years. Prepare your own Chow Mein, people! read more

I moved to Oakland earlier this year and have slowly, but surely, tried to reorient myself grocery-wise. I am absolutely overjoyed that I no longer have to hop in the car and head to Ranch 99/Marina for noodles and other staple ingredients. Instead, I can walk a few blocks to Yuen Hop and get most of what I need to make garlic noodles and other Asian/Asian-inspired dishes (didn't spot parmesan cheese when I went today). From what I saw today, I'd say this is a good store for Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine in particular, with some ingredients for Thai and Japanese cuisine as well. read more

COVID hours are now M-Sat, 9-3 pm, closed on Sunday. $5 credit card minimum. Great place for noodles, flour, dried goods, small selection of veggies, large selection of sauces and oils, a lot different tofu; they have Japanese fried tofu pouches (same taste, texture, look as Oagesan Age) great for nabe at $.25 each sold separately. Overall, pretty clean and neat for a grocery market in a Chinatown. read more

mochi lovers should check this out! came across "mochi" (2ish) at their counter/cash registers. it looks like the vietnamese equivalent you find in any asian supermart but yuen hop's "mochi" is very tender and obviously hand made, not machine made. in canton, it's labeled "l'uer shao tong yuen" (translation). it's equivalent to sesame rice balls (ji ma tong yuen). the ingredients are glutinuous rice flour, sugar, water, black sesame, and peanut butter. (notice no starch fillers or perservatives). this is similar to the japanese "mochi" found in s.f.'s japantown. for marketing purposes, everyone calls this "mochi". who cares? Yuen hop's "mochi" is addictive and legal. not as good as s... though. read more

Yuen Hop is similar to other Chinese grocery stores in Chinatown with its assortment of vegetables, fruits, dried foods, condiments, other cooking ingredients and snacks. What they have in the left side of the store is why I come to Yuen Hop. They have pre-bagged fresh egg and rice noodles from thin to thick and won ton and potsticker skins. Price per pound varies on the type of noodle and whether it has more or less egg. Right above the noodles the also have a wide selection of brands and types of tofu. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yuen-hop-co-oakland?select=qjG_aYlEWwSAA8SnOAvsmA#qjG_aYlEWwSAA8SnOAvsmA) My go-to place in Oakland Chinatown for fresh noodles and pre-packed tofu as well. read more

This is a small convenience asian grocery mart. It's got your basic asian ingredients, veggies and noodles. I love their fresh rice flat noodles and egg noodles. Variety of cookies and herbs. Bags of rice towards the back. I always come here to get fresh noodles and pantry sauce items. Their frozen dumplings are big and thick. Not fond of thick wrapper. Too thick that it's not good to eat. Bland. I prefer thin wrappers. Although it's at a good price for a big bag. I like how they accept debit cards, as most places in Chinatown accepts cash only. read more

Amazing fresh noodles and the owner Anthony is very helpful. Don't look anywhere else if you want to buy fresh noodles of many kinds. Photos attached! read more

One of my go-to places for Chinese grocery shopping. They make a variety of noodles, won ton skins, pot sticker skins, all fresh which you can buy in bulk or in small sizes. Their produce is always really fresh too. They even make their own tofu products - fresh tofu squares, tofu skins, twisted tofu skins and I've seen fresh soy milk there too, so fresh that it is still warm! The same can be said for their tofu squares. You can find refrigerated bags of tofu squares and you can find individual blocks of fresh made tofu, so fresh that it too, was still warm when I picked it up! I really like shopping here. It is a good honest clean place with good customer service and honest products. No one here has ever been rude to me. All the clerks speak English and one in particular who is an ABC of course speaks English naturally and she is always so helpful to me. They used to sell really good combination bao here, but the person who makes them retired but this English speaking clerk told me of another place to get combo bao that are as good in quality as the ones they used to sell at Yuen Hop. She always has such good and helpful recommendations on where to get other things like cha siu and roast duck. Oh and they sell homemade duong (sticky rice wrapped in a ti leaf) on weekends too! read more

Oh Yuen hop, how I love you! Best noodles- different textures , types (egg noodles, etc) all in various baggies ranging from a few ounces to 10 lbs. yes, I have bought multiple 10 lb bags in past and divided them with family members to freeze. I get my tofu skin, wonton wrappers, egg roll wrappers, bean sprouts, tofu here too and don't differ to pick up rice noodles for pad see ew. I even noticed kewpie Mayo today! Not all the staff speak English but be patient and polite as they will find someone who can help you. I love this place and you should, too! read more

We have been coming here for so long, from the days when they made the tofu downstairs, and made the noodles right on the first floor. NOw they are more of a regular general market with just about everything (except fresh meats and fish) you need for cooking Asian. The best part is that its well organized, and many of the staff speak excellent English and can help you when you want to know more about particular ingredients. It's not the cheapest, but the extra few cents are worth it!!! read more

Yummy fresh noodles and wrappers. Best place in town for these items and they have other groceries as well. I even found out that they carry moon cakes. I make it a point to stop by weekly for their specialty items. read more

I love when Yelp helps me discover new places! I was going to be in the Oakland area so I thought I would Yelp "mochis" and I am so glad that I found this place. Their peanut and black sesame mochis are amazing! We bought two packs for $2.50 each which is a great deal. If I didn't live so far from Oakland, I would probably eat these several times a week. They also have fresh noodles. I bought a 5 pound bag of egg noodles for a little over $6 dollars. The noodles were very delicious and lasted me over a week. read more

This is my go to market. I think I was walking down the road and noticed that they call themselves a "noodle company" so I had to check it out. They do indeed stock a ton of fresh noodles, which look amazing, but I haven't had them yet - too big a bag for a single person to deal with. Their produce is pretty fresh and clean I always walk out with some gai-lan and choy sum, along with some fresh and fried tofu. That doesn't mean, however, that they always have all these items available. I haven't had a problem with tofu yet; I've been to other places that have questionable tofu... They have a decent selection of dry goods. I asked and they're open till 5:45 every day. Lurve it. Seeing all the reviews for mochi means I have to make that purchase next time. read more

Amazing shop for many Asian grocery items and, of course, a treasure trove when it comes to all variety of fresh noodles!

I usually make an extra trip to this place for fresh noodles among other things. However, for the past month or so I haven't been able to catch them when they're open. Once at 3:30pm on Saturday and again today at 1:59. From what I've gathered, they are not open past 3. And they're not open on Sundays. read more

for me.. it's about the noodles (fresh, fresh, fresh!!!!) and the mantou (steamed flour buns... see my Yong Kee review on Jackson, SF) cheap veg prices when cooking an Asian meal. Like the wide open market-front; really handy when other Chinese folk feel like pushing me about.. I just head for the path of least resistance, just like the rat (lunar year, folks, not character!!!) that I am. read more

Their egg noodles are fantastic. They make them fresh and they are the best for making your own chow mein at home or even just eating by itself with some slices of roast duck or char siu (roast pork). DEEEEEELISH!!!! The store itself sells a great selection of most anything you would need for a Chinese meal made at home. They also have freshly made soy milk (sweetened and unsweetened) that is often so fresh that it is still warm. read more

After a warm day in the sun walking around the busy parts of Oakland, I walked into Yuen Hop to look for ingredients needed for dinner. I had chicken and shrimp in the freezer, so all that was required were some greens and perhaps rice or noodles to complete the dish. Yuen Hop is a typical chinese grocery store. Dark, packed beyond belief shelves, and most of the foodstuff in odd disarray, where only the seasoned shopper could interpret without a map. Lots of dried goods (noodles, rice, dried fish, squid) in addition to their huge bags of fresh noodles (chow mein style), typical greens (bok choy, chinese broccoli) and snacks. I was fortunate to find a box of organic regular broccoli sitting to the side (3 bunches for 79cents!!!) and some chicken bouillon in a box for under $1.50. Noodles were purchased for $1.00, enough to make a pots worth. Packed shelves with other boxes lining the aisles. Make sure to truly look around and under for any items. Priced cheap and no sign of cockroaches, which is also a good indicator. I made my purchases and skipped out, with everything under $5. read more
