Absolutely amazing chinese food!As someone who travels a lot for work, it’s really difficult to find tasteful Chinese food. I had the sesame chicken with white rice and pork dumplings delivered through Uber Eats. The food arrived hot and smelled amazing.The sesame chicken was perfectly glazed with the right amount of sesame seeds on top of it.The white rice was fluffy, soft, and paired brilliantly.Finally, the pan fried pork dumplings were the best I’ve ever had! They had the an amazing crust on the outside with a mouthwatering filling.If I’m ever back in Hayward I will be sure to get this place again!

TAKE OUT ONLY. There is no seating available here, so plan accordingly. I ordered on the phone, food was ready on time and was hot and fresh. The first time I had the bbq fried rice it was so good I had to try again. This time it wasn’t as good. It had a different taste. The sweet and sour chicken was alright as well, although a little on the soggy side. Had a weird taste after a while. The pork dumplings with cilantro was delicious and fresh. Service was good and quick.

I ordered just a simple dish, nothing too complicated; and what I received was disappointing. Shrimp Chow mien, something I was craving all day. I assumed everything would be ok… but when I brought it home… there were only two pieces of shrimp in my dish.

Home sick, had won ton soup delivered. Tasted like old dish water. Threw it out, including the won tons, which came separately. Cannot recommend

First of all, I’d like to say the food is wonderful, except eggrolls when you order them everything is so mushy inside you feel like you’re eating rotten vegetables but everything else

The food was food, nothing special. I had 3 different items from the menu, not including 3 orders of wings,and, and everything was very,very,very bland. I was extremely disappointed in the chicken wings, dangerously under cooked. I had to throw away 3 orders of wings. The reviews would make a person believe this place is the best in town. I eat out a lot, and so far, this place is the worst in Hayward ?

Visiting from out of state for a family function. We purchased 4 “popular” entrees and literally threw everything away. Garlic fried rice had no flavor, beef pancake were not good, tried 2 different types of dumplings and very dissatisfied. Missing so much flavor. Nothing elite about this place. Dave your money!

Moody and the food tasted bad. Like sink water was just warmed with it. Not real Chinese at all. Bad on the photos had hoped it would be really good as I just moved here and are Chinese food once a week.
During my onsite job for a customer in Cali near Elite Dumpling, my coworker and I had the pleasure of dining at this establishment for both lunch and dinner over 4 to 5 days. I highly recommend this diner to anyone visiting Hayward, CA, as it truly is a hidden gem.One of my personal favorites from their menu is the salt and pepper fish, which was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. Additionally, the lamb dumplings with Chinese vegetables were an absolute delight. The flavors and spices used in their dishes really set them apart - they are simply on fire! The beef chow fun was large portion and good but average.I cannot praise this restaurant enough for its delicious food and welcoming ambiance. If you ever find yourself in the area, do not miss the opportunity to experience this culinary delight at Elite Dumpling.

Ordered vegetarian pot stickers, steamed rice, sweet & sour chicken and fresh noodle w. Tomato & egg soup. 7/10 for everything except for the noodle soup. The noodle soup was bland, literally tomato cut into 4 pieces and egg thrown into hot water. No seasoning or salt. First time having this dish so I’m not sure if it’s supposed to taste so bland.

If you ain’t ever ate here you definitely should….the canton style shao ma is sooooo delicious ? and the steamed egg yolk is so sweet and yummie definitely another must try. They are fast at getting them orders out too. I definitely would recommend this place.

Would not recommend or come back Beef Roll Pancake - tastes good but is tiny Dumplings - standard Chicken Knife Cut Noodles - salty chicken, flavor is too sweet, noodles are soggy/mushy Orange Chicken - standard. the rice plates seem to have better portions than the chow mein/fun dishes Order took 15-20 min

Reliable spot for ordering decent food to satisfy dumpling and noodle cravings. I've definitely had better, but it does help hit the spot when I want steamed dumplings delivered at a reasonable price. My go-tos are the spicy won tons and steamed pork, shrimp and chive dumplings. When I'm in the mood for noodles, any of the beef chow mein, chow fun, or knife cut noodles will hit the spot. They're kind of greasy and can have better flavor but are never overcooked. The one thing I wouldn't order again is the sweet custard buns... The custard inside has the consistency of what reminds me of the stuff that oozes out of lava cake, which is much more runny than I think it's supposed to be. The filling also has weird oily separation, which isn't exactly aesthetically pleasing. But overall, I'd order from here again if I'm craving some Chinese flavors. I'm looking forward to trying the Singapore noodles and ordering some of the frozen dumplings to stash in my freezer for nomz emergencies.
