Cantonese Restaurants near Alameda, CA

“First time to eat at Alameda Kitchen! All the food that we ordered were all delicious and server was friendly!“

“The food was great, the service was excellent, I was very satisfied“

“My personal favorite dish is their House special pan fried noodles. The portion of this was insane, this itself can feed 4 people. Love the vegetables, squid, shrimp,…. on top of the noodles. The toppings are cooked with this slightly thick sauce which drenches the fried noodle making it some parts of it crunchy and some of it soft/soggy. I grew up eating this dish and so I’m almost always ordering this dish.

My second favorite dish is their honey walnut shrimp. This is always a hit at every family dinner I have and so I just had to order it. Their shrimp had a bite to it and a bouncy texture. It was cooked perfectly.

Everything we ordered:
- $20.95 Honey Walnut Shrimps
- $25.95 Beef cubes and scallop with teriyaki sauce
- $24.95 Pickled dried vegetables/Braised pork belly with sweet potato leaves
- $20.95 House special pan fried noodles
- $19.95 Salt and pepper pork chops
- $9.95 Marinated tofu“

“This is one of my two favorite Chinese places in the Bay Area. I've been going there for like 15 years, miss them a lot when I'm in DC working. It's a very affordable place, the lunch deluxe deal is unbeatable. They can also do dishes that are not in the menu for the connoisseurs like pak chit kai, the traditional steamed half hen with a tangy and tasty ginger garlic scallion condiment. It's no frills, but we are not here for a Michelin experience but to eat really delish Chinese Cantonese plates. And the owners are always really nice and they speak Spanish (at least some, and they are funny)“

“It is so great to find that hayward finally has some good Chinese bbq! I no longer have to drive far when I crave for some roasted duck! And that was exactly what I ordered today. It is fresh with good flavor. You know it’s a legit Chinese roasted duck when you can taste the star anise! I will definitely return to try the other items! Pro tip - parking can be terrible, so just go further down the lot towards auto zone. There’s always plenty of parking there.“

“The Dumplings are amazing!“

“This is the newer location of Yin Ji Chang Fen. Chang fen or cheong fun is a steamed flat rice noodle which can have different kinds of filling. It’s simple and homey kind of food that’s often sold by street vendors all over Asia. The store also carries a small selection of dim-sum dishes.“

“very good fried noodles and claypot dishes“

“This is a must try no frills Cantonese dining spot in Chinatown.

The Peking duck was solid, if anything a little cold but the flavor was yummy. My favorite dish was the Char Siu, definitely not like the Char Siu we have back with our Canto folks in Tijuana, but it was nice to try the authentic one here!! The Chow Mein and Chinese Sausage Fried Rice were also shockingly amazing, they were perfectly balanced and paired really well with the chili oil they provide.

The servers were also extremely attentive and diligent; they welcomed us with warm cups of tea and didn’t have us waiting long at all. And as the cherry on top, as a group of 3 we ate well and took some leftovers all for only 60 bucks 🤣🤣. I absolutely loved everything about this place; the food, the vibes, the people, the price, but most importantly the quality of the experience.

10/10 from us, and even though this isn’t San Diego this place is 100% DAYGOEATS CERTIFIED✅📋“

“Very good service and delicious food!👏“

“My loves. Scrambled egg shrimp. Assorted meats over fried rice. Salt pepper wings. Swiss wings“

“An Awesome Casual dining place for an affordable heart full of great food especially its noodles and wanton soup..! Don’t miss this when here.. frankly abit underated to me it’s the best in the Bay Area.!✌️“

“This place is hopping, even on weekdays! I’m so glad to see a business doing well in this spot by the San Lorenzo post office. Of course, I had to try chang fen! I opted for the BBQ pork and dried shrimp combo for the filling, and I added scallions for a small upcharge. Most of the dishes offer several modification options. I was slightly worried that the dried shrimp flavor would be overwhelming, but it dissolved well into the soy-based sauce. The barbecue flavor was sweet but slightly smoky. I appreciated the vegetal zing the scallions brought to the dish. Do add some of the mild, yet lively, vinegar sauce on the table. The chile sauce also deserves a shout-out.

Great steamed walnut buns, and I also enjoyed the Liwan congee, but I think the simpler chicken or beef is what I'll opt for next time.“

“We come here to celebrate birthdays, graduations, holidays with friends and family. Love the dim sum! Will be back again soon. Conveniently located in Pacific East Mall near Ranch 99 for shopping“

“My goto for late night (9am-11:45pm 7 days a week). Always good selection and too much food for me (doggy bags to go a must) in one setting. Also, holidays when everyone else is closed.

Vegetarian options: Always ask the waiter. They know best.

Dietary restrictions: L

Parking: Has a 17 or 18 stall Tesla Superchargers just off the I80 Central Street off-ramp in Richmond/Albany area. During the day, the parking lot gets very crowded, but mornings and evenings are fine.

Kid-friendliness: Ok, but children needs supervision.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ok. Wheelchair ramps outside with handicapped parking in-front. Several times, full with handicapped customers inside.“

“Old school dim sum. Good prices. First time here, but have eaten dim sum for a long time. Items ordered: Gai lan, BBQ pork buns baked, pan fried shrimp and chive dumplings, rice roll filled with BBQ pork, Shanghai dumplings. Tasty food. An option we chose was a tea service at the table (<$6), worth it. I saw some remarkable dishes that I will be returning to taste.

It was packed with people and even more in another dining room (mostly Asian people, although there were some Latin, Black and White people as well).

This place is family run and demonstrates that they want to be above your average hole in the wall dim sum house for the inside: fancy curtains, nice chairs, and stage for entertainment, the outside needs some TLC. Good alternative if you don’t want to deal with Chinatown congestion.“

“We've eaten here almost monthly for the last 4 years. I know it gets busy which is why I made this reservation for my family driving up from San Jose. We arrived at 11:45 for 12:00 res. When we checked in we were given a number as if we didn't have a reservation. The woman at the ‘reception desk' just snarled “very busy day” after we waited, and waited, and waited and were finally seated at 12:45. Why bother to use open table if you're not going to honor your side of the bargain? Once seated we chose 22 dishes from the menu they provided-not like we just showed up for a pot of tea and plate of potstickers stickers. We ordered Jasmine tea but got the regular stuff-meh. The food started arriving and it was very good. You can imagine how quickly it disappeared with 3 teenage boys as part of the group! While the food here is excellent, next time I'll book Peony downtown where the staff is friendly and accommodating to their guests and their food is also great. The restaurant business is part food part service and when one is so glaringly off, it's noticeable, and you wonder if they care if you live locally and might return, or tell your friends. They're not the only game in town.“
