I have visited this hot plate place over the years and always forget why I don't come here much = I do like the BBQ Pork and Duck - and that is all. each of their buckets of food is very bland and taste less - Covid Summer 2020 I had a two item dish dinner - Fried beef rice that was tasteless and hard like eating sand, Bean Chicken cold greasy and not a bit of flavor = The BBQ should have been the highlight but it is the worse - cold dry hard to chew bland pork - I asked for some sweet and sour pack and that added the flavor. Price for this cold plate of food - 9.00 - yes as you see in the pics the food glows with color and looks great . But trust me its cold and has no flavor. At 4pm they have a happy hours for 4.99 - this means you are welcome to some hot pans of Asian food that has been sitting out all day for a bit of a discount - Avoid this one -- try the Noodles next door or Hawaiian fast food next door --

The fried rice was dry, the veggies and fried fish had no flavor, and the orange chicken ... oh man the orange chicken. That ... thing ... tasted like it can make you very sick. It is inedible! It all went in the trash. If you are the owner of this establishment, please routinely check the quality of your food.

Yummy Chinese BBQ with very reasonable price! We go to this place for Chinese BBQ and rolled rice noodle even we live in Alameda!

Definitely lower rated restaurants, the food quality is pretty good and very tasteful, the staff is very friendly! I would definitely come back!

We have been loyal customers for many years, but this time was truly disappointing. We ordered the Spicy Chicken with Jellyfish, a dish I personally love and order almost every visit. However, this time, it was almost entirely jellyfish with barely any shredded chicken. It seemed like, since it was close to closing time, they didn’t want to prepare the chicken and just gave us extra jellyfish instead. We simply wanted an explanation. When we asked the server why there was no shredded chicken, they insisted that this was how the dish was supposed to be. I explained that I’ve had this dish many times before, and it has always had more chicken than jellyfish. Then, they called another server, who repeated the same response. At this point, it wasn’t just about adding more chicken—it felt like they were questioning my experience, as if I was making an issue out of nothing. Normally, this dish is served quickly since it’s a cold appetizer. But this time, it was the last dish to arrive, and we even had to follow up because we were almost done eating. The server then explained that it took longer because they had to shred the chicken—yet ironically, there were barely any pieces of chicken in the dish. It’s extremely disappointing to see the restaurant treating loyal customers this way, trying to cover up an issue instead of addressing it honestly.

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.

Everything was all good, except the fact, the honey walnut shrimp had a real bitter taste somewhat nasty, and the cashier began to count his drawer rather than ring up my food I assume because I was African-American, which delayed my momentum of a happy day. In addition, This location needs to take a course on discrimination and culture diffusion.

Great food and Aonia was great

Dropped by here this past weekend. We were here last when the restaurant was called King Kong dim sum. We went early so there wasn't a crowd, but as the hour went on the crowd started to form. Overall for dim sum it wasn't overly packed. The service was good. The waitress was friendly and professional. The food was good as well. The dim sum came out fast and hot. Overall a good place for dim sum that is affordable in the area. Next is to try this place for dinner.

The food is a hit or miss. The steamed char chiu boa was good but the sui mai was bloated and the chicken feet was “puffy”, maybe old leftovers reheated? The good is that there is never a wait on a weekend (hmm.. wonder why) and plenty of street. Sometimes less people makes for a nicer eating environment. The bad is that they automatically write in your tip for you. Other restaurants that do this have signage somewhere, on the menu or table, but zilch here. I was surprised and asked and their reply was that they do so “on Sundays”?? It doesn’t seem to be a consistent thing and also there it doesn’t seem to be a set amount that you choose on the machine and appears to be at the whim of whoever took the card. When I did the math, it came out to be 16.27 %. It’s standard and not a crazy amount but I’d prefer to have it be transparent and standardized.

In my opinion, great food ,LARGE portions (be careful because your orders might not fit the table). Tasty Chinese fusion, traditional and non traditional Asian cusine. They got fried rice/noodles , Porridge, soups , baked dishes with your choice of rice ,pasta, or macaroni. Each table has a QR code, you pick what you want, then they tally up the orders at the end. Very quick orders too.

Leisure Cafe is a Hong Kong style food. We ordered the beef ribs with rice and egg and the beef stew rice plate. The ribs and the beef ten tendons were chewy and not tender. We've eaten here in the past. When eating out, sometimes past experiences don't match up with recent ones. Last year, the beef stew was pretty good and tender.

A good local cafe with a yogurt bar in it. Authentic seasoning but not that decent. Good enough for a neighborhood cafe. I’ll recommend the Clay pot (Frog) and the turmeric Pork stomach with Chicken. Eel is just okay.

this place is a hidden gem for Cantonese! The taste is identical and similar to what I ate in Guangdong China growing up. Get 酸菜鱼 and 砂姜猪肚。 so good.

Have not been to this restaurant for years. Dimsum is good but the classic steamed dishes like Siu-mai, Hargaw, Chicken Feet, Ribs are a bit pricey. They also add 15% service fee on the bill.

I recently visited OTH and was blown away by their delicious dim sum. Every bite was a flavor explosion in my mouth! The menu was extensive, and I tried several dishes, but some of my favorites included the shrimp dumplings, pork buns, and egg tarts. The shrimp dumplings were perfectly steamed with a delicate wrapper that didn't overpower the juicy filling. The pork buns were fluffy and moist, with a generous amount of tender pork inside. The egg tarts were rich and creamy, with a buttery crust that crumbled in my mouth. The service was also excellent. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive, and they helped us navigate the menu to find the best dishes. The restaurant was clean and had a pleasant atmosphere, making for a lovely dining experience. It's clear that the chefs take pride in their craft and use only the freshest ingredients to create authentic and delicious dishes. I can't wait to go back and try more.

they didnt give me any of my teriyaki sauce, instead gave me 4 chilis and 2 soy sauce, i put in my online order at 12:05, according to the receipt, the order was "completed" at 12:14, yet here I am receiving it an hour later at 1:16. my large lemonade got replaced with a coca cola and and the chow mein has obviously been sitting for a while yet the teriyaki and string bean still feel warm. my question is why mark an order as complete when it's not? not the first panda ive ordered from that has done this, but it will be the last. ive ordered from 4 different stores and they have all done this. completely absurd. however this time i was slight more patient given how its lunch time, however i have ordered at different times for it to still take over 30 minutes for them to even complete my order to begin with. too bad 0 stars isnt possible.

I wish I could give this place zero stars, but sadly Google won’t let me. I’ve always had very bad experiences at this store, ranging from a crappy intercom, unfriendly demeanor of some employees, and frequent shortages in supplies. But what happened today was beyond belief. I ordered in the drive-through but didn’t mention the sauces because I took them as given, and I never ask for sauce until I went to the window to make a payment. After I paid, I asked for some sauce, and they said they only had soy sauce. I said I can deal with not getting the other types of sauces, but I really need the teriyaki sauce, and they said they don’t have it. I told the employee that I don’t want the food and asked for a refund, and she said, “Give me a second,” and went away. While I was expecting some type of excuse to deny me a refund, which I didn’t really think was possible, she came back and gave me a packet of the very teriyaki sauce she just said they were out of. I was very surprised. I exited the drive-through because there were people waiting in line after me, parked my car, and went inside to try to speak to someone about the situation, but I saw another employee telling a customer that they don’t have any sauce at all. Anyways, I talked to one lady, but she had trouble understanding English, so I decided to leave the store because it seemed fruitless. Come on, Panda, do better. Denying customers small packets of sauce that probably cost you a few cents is simply shameful. I will make sure to never visit this store again.

We went on. Friday around 5:00 before dinner rush. The main course food was great especially seafood . However, the whole salad section was only chunks of lettuce and cucumbers. No variety of desserts and they were out of two of them while we were there. The 6 tubs of ice cream were empty. When I told the receptionist, she didn’t seem to care or there wan’t much she could do about it.

Adequate buffet, good value for seafood lovers. When you enter, you'll be greeted and you'll pay $27 per person. The seating forms a U-shape around the food area. I decided to sit in a booth, but there were tables and chairs available too. They seemed reasonably clean and I spotted an employee wiping tables. There isn't a vast selection of food, but there is a variety. The fries were too salty and not crispy, the Jell-O was a bit chewy like there wasn't enough water used, the chow mein and fried rice were decent, the ice cream had to be scooped with the tiniest scoops I've ever seen and didn't have the flavors labeled, and the beef (?), lumpia, and fried chicken were really chewy. The pizza wasn't good, but was edible. The items I enjoyed were rice pudding, California roll, a green ice cream, and fried plantains. The ice cream didn't taste like any flavor, but it was good. Surprisingly, the California rolls tasted like they were made with real crab. Speaking of seafood, they have plenty of it. I don't like seafood, but I know it's sort of expensive, so I'd recommend coming here if you want to fill yourself up on it. I'd avoid the sashimi though. Other reviewers have said that the food is cold. During my visit, the cooked foods weren't piping hot, but I could feel through the plate that they were warm and they cooled down a bit after I had walked around the food area. The restroom didn't smell bad, but it had graffiti and some of the partitions were rusting. At least there was hot running water. Most of the customers seemed to be families. At $27/person, this restaurant is an affordable place for groups to fill up on foods that are barely a step up from the Burger King across the street. I don't expect much from buffet restaurants. This restaurant isn't great, but it's not horrible, which is why I'm rating it three stars. I don't plan on visiting this place again, but I wouldn't dread coming here.

I've been here to pick up lunch a couple times now. I usually get the 1 item combo and so far I've tried the sesame and general chicken! Both were good, flavorful and the rice and noodles are also delicious. Service is really great. They are very friendly!

It was mid, I've had better . I don't reccomend the orange chicken, didn't like it. Chow MEIN was nothing special either. It's too many other better places in Oakland, I'd say skip

This experience was typical for a Chinese restaurant in Oakland. However, the food was very good, cooked well and full of flavor. I placed my order ahead of time, and it was ready when I arrived. The woman inside was friendly, greeting me with a warm hello and a smile.

I don't have much time to eat and I was craving Chinese food, I looked in the browser and there were many photos of this place, I went and there wasn't much to choose from, even so I ordered meat and rice to take away, what a surprise, the food is in bad condition, now I won't eat and Besides, I spent my money, I don't recommend this place at all, you could contract a disease.
