Cantonese Restaurants near Union City, CA

“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!“

“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.“

“I finally had a chance to drop in on this joints. Expections were low. Especially after reading a few reviews. To my shock I was pleasantly surprised. The veggie entrée that I ordered had the PERFECT TOFU for me. I'm not a fan of the spongy/ chewy tofu. Or the bland no flavor kind. This tofu was, how can I put it? SILKY, it was the star of the dish. Granted the veggies were perfectly cooked. They didnt use canned mushrooms, which is a plus. My waitress was ok. Not rude, not overly pleasant. Just like someone trying to get through the day. No shade I've been there before. I will come back to see if we can recreate magic with the tofu or if it was a fluke.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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!👏“

“3.5 stars rounded up

No wait on a Saturday when they opened at 11am.

Very friendly service. Large portion sizes so 4 dishes were more than enough for 5 of us.

Bamboo Shoot Shredded Pork - this was an unique item, I've never seen this anywhere before. The pork was tender and had good flavor. The bamboo shoots were soft and had good texture but not as much flavor as the pork.

Braised Tofu or whatever it is called on the menu- looks salty because of the dark color but it was“

“This place used to be called Asian Pearl and is changed to Pearl Bay.

Inside is big and bright, suitable for any Chinese events such as weddings.

Food is decent. The Turnip (Daikon) Cake (Lo Bak Go), Water Chestnut cake and the Taro cakes are all excellent. Not all the dim sum restaurants have the water chestnut cake and taro ones, this is one of the places that serve them and make them very well.

Their black sesame rolls are good too. It is hard to find at other Chinese restaurants too.

Their lettuce with garlic is great.

Their steamed dim sum (such as Har Gow or anything with the white skins outside) isn't as good. The outside skins are thick and they are supposed to be thin.

The Fung Jao (chicken feet) are also so-so, not tender enough. I have had better elsewhere.

The fried chicken wings are disappointing.

The bathroom is not that clean. Wish they keep it in much better shape considering the restaurant's dining area is so nice and elegant.“

“3.5 stars

We came here before 11am shortly after opening on a Sunday and there was no wait. We decided to try their entrees and skipped the dimsum.

The salted fish chicken eggplant claypot took a long time to come, it came at the end and the eggplants were burnt on the bottom and the skin was tough to chew. It was also submerged in a lot of oil but tastewise it was okay.

The satay beef chow fun was good, it was actually runny and not too salty. The pineapple was a nice touch, we just weren't a big fan of the red bellpeppers.

Japanese style beef cubes with fried silken tofu was really good, the sauce is slightly sweet and savory and not too salty. We really liked this one.

All 3 dishes were in the low $20s, and more than enough for 3 people. We had leftovers to go.

There is free dessert! Choice is mango pudding or grass jelly.“

“This chain originates in Guangdong Province and has been in existence since 1981.

Limited menu featuring traditional Cantonese healthy favorites: rice noodle rolls, porridge/congee, curative herbal soups, and steamed rice/meat.

Great place for a clean healthy meal.“

“At Golden Sand Harbor, everything just felt right. The tea came in cups with a clever grooved design — so hot we wrapped them in napkins, and the staff immediately brought extra without us even asking. Small touches like that set the tone.

The food was excellent: Singapore noodles light and flavorful, har gow and shumai perfectly done, and the beef tripe that the gentleman at the door suggested — exactly the authentic taste I remembered from Shanghai. He knew what I meant, and he was right.“

“Good food and very clean restaurant“

“The dim sum portions were all quite generous, and everything tasted great. It’s definitely worth trying a variety of dishes. The only downside was the BBQ pork bun—the dough was a bit tough and could use some improvement. But everything else was absolutely delicious!“

“This place is hopping, even on weekdays! I’m so glad to see a business doing well in this spot by the San Lorenzo post office. Of course, I had to try chang fen! I opted for the BBQ pork and dried shrimp combo for the filling, and I added scallions for a small upcharge. Most of the dishes offer several modification options. I was slightly worried that the dried shrimp flavor would be overwhelming, but it dissolved well into the soy-based sauce. The barbecue flavor was sweet but slightly smoky. I appreciated the vegetal zing the scallions brought to the dish. Do add some of the mild, yet lively, vinegar sauce on the table. The chile sauce also deserves a shout-out.

Great steamed walnut buns, and I also enjoyed the Liwan congee, but I think the simpler chicken or beef is what I'll opt for next time.“

“I recently went to the restaurant. I had pan fried chicken noodles and eggplant dish. The fried noodle dish was mouth watering! Crispy and full of flavors. I really enjoyed the flavors in the eggplant dish as well.

Walking into the restaurant really surprised me by their cleanliness! The whole place was spotless!! Hygienic clean. Not a dust in sight. Even the counter space was organized and clean with sanitizer. This really impressed me.

I really appreciated that the owner took time to prepare the meals. I had to wait some time as there was a large order before me but I noticed that she didn’t rush any orders even the small orders.“

“The food is always good here but the physical restaurant is slowly declining; the place is dirty and lacks upkeeping. When BK first opened, one can classify it as a slightly upscale “bistro”. Now it’s just another run down Chinese restaurant.“

“Rude front counter lady ✅
Authentic Dimsum ✅
Dining tables used as storage ✅

An authentic canto dimsun experience. Just missing some cussing and yelling at the cook in the back. Lunch combo fantastic.“

“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."“

“Very good food, esp. Dim Sum.“

“Authentic Hong Kong style Cafe open late night until 12:00 a.m. My late night favorites are XO noodles chow fun , pork chop w spaghetti and club sandwich. Specials come with a drink, lemon tea or milk tea. Bring your Hong Kong friend. They will feel nostalgic ! They only accept cash.“
