Cantonese Restaurants near San Leandro, CA

“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“

“Very good service and delicious food!👏“

“Delicious food and great dinner service! I want to try every dish on the menu. Everything is seasoned to perfection and the price is right. I loved the salted pepper ribs and honey walnut shrimp. Had a great time and looking forward to trying their dim sum!“

“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!“

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

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

“very good fried noodles and claypot dishes“

“It’s my first visit here. I loved the rice casserole and the fried pork ribs. The rice casserole was very authentic and delicious, just like the best ones I had in China.

The place was clean and the service was great. The manager answered my questions and when she saw there’s oil on my hands, she got me a paper napkin before I asked. I was very grateful!“

“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✅📋“

“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.!✌️“

“Cantonese breakfast but make it available all day? Yes please!

This is the latest location to open up in the bay area making it the least busy as well. We rolled in on a weekday afternoon and were seated pretty quickly.

There are a LOT of cheung fun (rice roll) options here as well as plenty of congee and other appetizers. The pricing here was really reasonable for 2025 as well, with most rolls around $7 and congee hovering around $8. They don't skimp on the portions either.

For myself that follows a plant-based diet, I ordered their Vegetarian Cheung Fun, their Yu Tiao Cheung Fun, and the Veggie Congee (hold the egg shreds). Again, the portions here are quite generous and even one bowl and one roll would be enough to satisfy two people.

Their cheung fun quality here is really impressive. The rice itself is very silky and moist and the dipping sauce provided isn't overly salty either. The congee here was also delicious and really hit the spot for someone that loves eating rice porridge.

My mom even said that the cheung fun mirrors the quality she eats while in Guangdong. Mama seal of approval is a great sign.

Great experience with their service and excellent food makes this place another go-to the next time I'm back in the East Bay.“

“I love Tin’s Tea Pot! You get this quality food for this price point. I’ve been here a few times and was heartened to see it busier than usual. They totally deserve it!

We ordered their vegetable dumplings, a veggie lo mein dish and their rice soup which when combined with the plant was AMAZING!“

“Very good food, esp. Dim Sum.“

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

“Food is very good. However, I rather they told me the truth instead of steering me into something else. It appeared that they don't have 2 lbs or more lobsters. So, they BS about 2 one lb lobsters would provide better meat quantity and that the meat in a 2 lb lobsters would be tougher. You will get more shell and more elbow joints that are difficult to handle. Instead, just order something else. Anyhow, the lobsters over noodles were nicely cooked and were extremely tasty. So were the surf clams over cellophane noodles. The rest of the dishes were also good except for the salt and pepper pork chops. They were tasty but the chops used were too thick. Desserts were not warm/hot enough.

Service was generally good. Near the end, the waiters were, as if by concerted efforts, ignoring our wavings to get our teapots filled.

The tables were not too jam-packed as other Chinese restaurants.“
