Was not happy with them charging 18 % for tip. It should be left up to the customers. They get at least 20.00 per table wither the service is good or not. My bill was 71.00 with tip it was 117.00. Won't be going back to soon.

A Delightful Experience.The staff members were incredibly friendly and attentive. Their warm smiles and genuine hospitality set the tone for a delightful dining experience. As a fan of Chinese food, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the dishes. The flavors were authentic, and the ingredients were fresh. It’s safe to say that this place goes beyond the usual fare you’d find at your average Chinese restaurant. The ambiance is conducive to both casual conversations...

Chef’s in Hayward never misses — always a great place to grab a quick freshly cooked bite for a fair price. although I might mention that both the food and the kitchen may become a bit over-whelmed on Sunday Afternoons when the bar seating is full and many groups are dining at once (because they show the games on TV, and because of after-church groups)
