25 Best Chinese Restaurants in San Leandro

“FYI: Not a Malatang spot anymore. Google gotta fix that.

Really really good food.

Orange chicken was nice and crispy, good cuts and well trimmed.

Cumin beef was tasty, well spiced, and had a good amount of fresh ingredients.

Chow Mein was really nice as well. I think it was chicken and minced pork belly. Pork belly was well spiced and the noodles werent too oily. Cabbage had some nice browning on it.

Steamed dumplings were good. I cant think of anything specific to say but definitely tasty and fresh.

Cute place. Definitely a family run place, nice and cozy. Will be my go to when I want Chinese. Highly recommend you give it a try.“

“First time visit. We thought we'd give it a try after driving by a billion times. Your basic Chinese steam table with the added menu if you want to dine in, They have a whole bunch of dining tables for that purpose, although the food will be served to you as takeout on a tray. Not a problem. Staff is very courteous and friendly, I think they are the main asset.
The food. Lemon chicken was really lemon chicken. My God what a concept. Usually it's some horrible syrupy thing but very much lemony tasty and the chicken was tender. No chicken jerky.
Really good. Vegetable fried rice, fluffy and tasty with veggies.
String bean tofu isa little problematic. It did taste good but a third of the container was sauce. Other than that it was a nice experience. Plus a soda and a $3 tip, the whole thing came to about 42 bucks. They have four different combo plates ranging from the $9 range to $12 range, they also have two egg rolls for $1.99 If you're looking for a quick bite to grab, I would say do it.
Steam table also had some nice veggie dishes that I didn't get to, broccoli, beef and a veggie and shrimp. That'll be for next time. All in all pretty decent and we will probably return now and then. We don't usually eat much Chinese up in the San Leandro area, we're usually at Porky's or somewhere else. But this was good. Nice surprise“

“They have good food here and they still open“

“If you are ever feeling under the weather and want to get something soupy/noodly- this is the spot to be. Ten Seconds will satisfy your soupy/noodly cravings. I love how their signature and simple R1: The Original Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles come in such a cute hot little pot along with little plates of side dishes that you can either opt in or out (also they have corn which is amazing). The pot is very hot so please proceed with caution* The pricing here is very affordable to their portion size and they have variety of choices for you to choose from. I have always enjoy the authentic chicken broth soup because it is very comforting and makes me feel like home. I recommend coming here if you are tired of eating pho because this place have good hot noods“

“Don't be fool by it's appearance. It used to be you can dine in before pandemic. However,they offer to go only. Food is very tasty ,and you get a good portion for a decent price. Lunch rice plate is around $9:00,is served until 3:00pm. Credit card accepted. Let's support this tiny place with good food ,good price by a good family always with a smile.??❤️

Parking: Parking ar rear with limited space,but you always can find street parking.“

“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“

“I have been coming here for years and have always had great service. When I call in my order the lady knows my voice and always asks if I want the mushroom chicken (my usual) or something different. Went today and hadn't been here for months, and she still recognized my voice“

“I've been going here for a number of years. Even before the pandemic. The food has been consistently good, with the exception of the height of the pandemic.

On other platforms, this place isn't rated high however this place for dim sum is always packed. This says wonders about the other sites.

Today's visit for dim sum was just like the other times. Place was packed and there was a wait of 20 mins. The service was okay and the food was good. Parking wasn't an issue as there were plenty.

This is a go-to spot for dim sum for sure.“

“Been going to this restaurant for years! Our favorite by the way. Friendly owners, service and home delivery.🥡🥢“

“Very authentic cantonese and other chinese food. There is only one woman working at the counter doing table service and making drinks, which was very impressive and she did excellent service. The yogurt drinks with purple rice were my favorite. We got the crispy noodle with chicken, which was great and not too oily. Everyone seemed to be getting the clay pot and the hand shredded chicken so we have to go back to try that. They also do a fun nine dessert sampler that let us try a lot of things. Great experience, will be back again!“

“Line was a little long, but definitely worth the wait. Fish sandwiches were great. Stopped by for hotdogs buns, but found out they went viral on the tik of toks. Stopped by around 1pm, they had a few pastries, but they make the fish and chicken sandwiches fresh.“

“The food is quite authentic. I've went there multiple times and the dishes are very consistent. Decent taste, not too much flavor. Just right. Price is relatively affordable too if you are eating with multiple people. I would recommend this place to others.“

“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!“

“I love coming here. The food is delicious and the staff

Vegetarian options: I did not buy a vegetarian option, but if you want vegetarian options then the staff will surely make it for you.

Kid-friendliness: I didn't bring a child, I just brought myself to pick up the food for my nursing staff's birthday party.“

“The sate beef noodle here…..let em tell ya….i could give 10+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if I can. It just so good that I got so addicted. lol everytime im down to San Leandro. Pho An Hoa is the spot for me. And the staffs here are supper nice, friendly and funnie as well. Highly recommended! Thank you so much!“

“Let’s be honest about JL Kitchen: you’re not coming here for gourmet food. You’re coming for some serious Chinese comfort food, at good value. What you get are amazing portion sizes of very tasty and basic American Chinese fares. Sometimes that’s exactly what the doc… I mean chef, ordered!“

“I have stomach aches from laughing. There is an old lady working there. She is really funny and cute and affectionate, her laugh is really funny, when she laughs you have to laugh too. Because she laughs so beautifully that she spreads a great positive energy around. I definitely want you to meet her, her food is delicious, bon appetit. Don't forget to say bye bye to her, you may have a laughing fit while she says this.????“

“I came first time during pandemic. This time I ordered just quarter hainamese chicken to go as I heard ftom my friend their hainamese chicken is really good. It is busy restaurant. Last Yemen I came for the noodle soup. The chicken was about $11 -$12 after tax. It comes with the ginger dipping sauce and peanut. I wish they give more ginger dipping sauce.The only differeng with whole meal is the rice. The chicken was good. It was tender. Next time will visit and eat in.“

“Great place to have a hot noodle soup. Their special rice noodle dishes are the bomb.
They have complementary hot water and hot tea that is self serving. Plenty of room for seating and also very clean. Mostly no waiting time. Plenty of parking“

“Food not as good as it was 20 years ago I will not go back“

“The best Phở in California!“

“Try the beef tongue“

“The time I went there was good timing since it wasn’t much people and I think they just open not too long ago since I went there around 11 something overall I have great experience the lady that serve us was nice and give me good portion and the food taste so good always enjoyed the food and they make good Chinese food it like the food I had in hong Kong and china“

“Today, I discovered a Taishan-style restaurant. I haven’t seen it for a long time. It’s the taste of my childhood. You can add your favorite salty soup balls and ingredients according to your own taste. Their steamed rice is also pretty good, nutritious and delicious. Nothing I ordered was too bad, the dishes were rich and colorful, and the service was very good. I will try their rice bowls and skewers next time. The ones ordered by the next table looked very good, and they also have several nourishing soups. I recommend everyone to try it!“
