Cantonese Restaurants near Union City, CA

“There's not many clay pot rice places around the area, but this is a pretty solid one. One of my favorite ones was The Chinese sausage one! It's got a good amount of meat and they did a good job not making the rice stick onto the pot too much which can be easily done if over cooked. There is also congee as well as yu choy for order as well if you're not interested in the main dishes. They also starred out with some pickled vegetables which was a nice touch. I recommend where you're eating a clay pot that You share with two people for the regular size as you might have leftovers if you're eating by yourself, Just ordering the bigger size will just add extra leftovers or if you have four or six people. The ambiance is also pretty nice too with a very large painting on one of the walls and decorative ceiling tiles! The furniture and tables don't look to have too much wear and they look pretty recent too. Waiters were mostly focused on cleaning up after a table, but they did refill water when stopped for and asked. Overall, it's just a solid place to get this type of dish with not too much fuss when ordering!

Parking: Parking might be a little bit difficult but keep searching, you might find one...“

“My parents used to order here all the time and I haven’t been back for a long time and the food is just as I remember. The salt and pepper prawns are a must try they give out some good spice and flavor. I also recommend the lemon chicken. They serve their sauce on the side so when you get it Togo the chicken is still nice and crispy and you can really taste the lemon in this sauce. Also you can’t go here without getting their rose garden fried rice, which comes with BBQ pork, chicken, and shrimp.“

“Portions of food are big, and it taste great. The gentleman at the register is polite and friendly…. Great customer service!

Servers did an extra mile too by giving what I asked for (a small portion of evaporated milk for my mango pudding). I didn’t want to sound demanding. Sorry.“

“The environment is beautiful and the service is average. I asked the waiter three times to get a tissue before I got it. The product is very average. The duck was not roasted on the same day, like African roast duck, which was very poor. The lobster smelled of gasoline. It may be a problem with the delivery merchant. But Yi noodles and fried rice are worth thumbs up?“

“Food is good and service is nice and warm. I will bring friends come again definitely!“

“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.“

“I was searching for a dim sum place and this restaurant’s name came up with decent reviews. I went there but found out that they no longer serve dim sum, only the regular Chinese food menu. We ended up ordered congee and lobster noodles and those were quite good.“

“Very good service and delicious food!👏“

“This is a very grand restaurant with fancy lighting and giant Tv in background. Great to use for hosting big dinner party.
Food tastes good. Very good authentic Chinese food. They serve dimsum at lunch which is very fresh. They offer very good deal set menu for 10 at dinner. One of the set menu for 10 is offered $488 in weekday which is best deal in town.
Waiter waitress are very attentive too so I would say this is a 5 star restaurant.“

“Everytime I come here it's like going home. Porridge fills you with warm feeling. Fen is filling and not too heavy. Soups nourish your body from deep down. Always a comfortable feeling after eating here for breakfast.

Vegetarian options: Egg roll rice noodle, plain rice noodle, turnip cake

Parking: Hundreds of parking in giant strip mall lot

Kid-friendliness: High chair, 4-person tables“

“Peking style porkchop is excellent, sweet and sour. Seafood tofu claypot, tofu is good but sauce is slightly salty. Pork with olive and green bean is very tasty. Free dessert is yam tapioca sweet soup. Waitress is friendly. The restaurant gets very noisy when packed.“

“Excellent Cantonese style dishes that are prepared quickly. The salt & pepper pork chops were especially good. Eggplant was a little too oily and seafood in XO sauce was rather mild (menu said "spicy"). If they could pay more attention to service, this place would be 5 stars.“

“I love going to this restaurant during my lifetime. Dim sum is really good and fresh. My sister and our relatives bought home food and usually they get eaten in a day or two. Goes to show how good the food is.

I should plan to go to that restaurant to dine in and review its atmosphere. It’s been years since having to dine there, but I want to see if there are any changes at the inside.“

“Growing up in San Francisco, Yong Kang is an excellent choice for a Cantonese family style restaurant. The food is tasty, there's an excellent variety of entrees at a reasonable price, and the portions are large. Everything you'd want in a family style restaurant. It's the best in Fremont.“

“Good food and very clean restaurant“

“I do not normally respond to reviews, however, XW(hanlu) decided post a photo of me, so here is my perspective. Also a few convenient details XWhanlu left out.

XWhanlu is accusing my dimsum food runner, a 50+ year old Asian woman, mask wearing, soft spoken and mother, of “insulting” her 4 year old daughter………(no words were exchanged between XWhanlu).

XWhanlu is standing up and shouting out loud, making a scene. Clearly out of control.

I introduced myself as the manager on duty, immediately apologize for the incident, said I will talk to my food runner later in PRIVATE.

XWhanlu did not like my response..she DEMANDED I tell my food runner to give a table side apology “I am sorry”. (To shame her)

I explained to XWhanlu that is not our policy, we talk to our employees in PRIVATE if there is a complaint, but XWhanlu disagreed, said the correct policy is to have our employee apologize “I am sorry” in person, in public….

XWhanlu said “she would make her 4 year old child apologize”. Again…my employee is a 50+ year old Asian mother, she is not a child, we talk to them in private. (XWhanlu is not understanding basic respect for employees privacy). I responded we are in America, not China, we do not do that here in America.

Here are a few details XWhanlu conveniently left out:
XWhanlu started recording me illegally, I did not provide my consent, I told her to stop, she continued. No respect for my privacy, a reoccurring theme.
Because XWhanlu continued her disruption of our business, I asked them to leave and the entire meal is comped. She refused to leave and responded by calling the police.
The police arrived, informed XWhanlu that nothing criminal has occurred, the business is at no fault, and that they need to leave or it is trespassing.
XWhanlu agreed to leave if she received an apology “I am sorry”. The police officer laughed and said, no, that is not happening.
XWhanlu called the police on me for being “rude”, the police asked if I wanted to press charges for making a false report. I said NO, just make them leave.“

“My Fav Chinese joint - Sheszwan prawns are my fav. Honey-walnut prawns are damn good too. Wife likes the Mongolian beef and the soups. It's your classic Chinese take-out place, great lunch specials/pricing. Dinner servings ample in size, a little pricy, but worth it in my opinion. Owner is a sweetie, courteous. Big thumbs-up from me.“

“Food is super authentic hong Kong cha chaang ten food. Got the traditional baked rice dishes, as well as common HK dishes like beef chow fun, congee, etc. service was ridiculously fast. Ordered three things and within five minutes of ordering, our dishes were on the table , piping hot.

Really appreciated the "happy hour" menu which goes from 2;30 pm to closing (midnight), which offers a really good deal on pricing, with drink included. The portions are smaller than if I didn't order from the happy hour menu but still pretty decent size for a serving. We had leftovers. Also the menu for happy hour is pretty extensive, has all the classic dishes which were the same ones I was going to order anyway.

They accept card but will be 3% extra charge. Otherwise cash is totally fine.

Saw lots of people eat in at all hours as well as many people ordering takeout.

Would def come again for both dine in and take out to feed my HK classic dish cravings!“

“Here's the review with the added information:
"Great take out place for roasted duck and pork. My fav is duck roasted plate which came with rice and steamed cabbage. Loved the duck flavor. It's in the lions supermarket complex, just outside the supermarket. Not recommended for dining-in. It's a quick grab the food and take away."“
