Sesame chicken and fried rice were amazing! Broccoli on the side was well cooked! 10.99 all day special didn’t hurt the bank either! Happy to have a great Chinese local spot in the east village! Family owned. Definitely worth the visit.

The food was simply delicious. Very sweet welcoming reception and a nice family restaurant atmosphere. Truly enjoyed myself and my stomach is very happy with this on the spot whim that brought me here😇

Came in at around noon after a long walk. I already had looked online and knew exactly what I was going to order. I ordered #13 off the Luncheon Menu: The crispy bone-in chicken. I've had what I believed to be the same dish at several restaurants, mostly Sichuan speciality places and they are almost universally excellent. After placing my order, the woman behind the counter confirmed number 13, and I said yes, number 13. After a very brief wait, they served me the soup of the day, some sort of wonton soup. It was okay. One wonton was slightly cool in the center, but it was a very large wonton, and the filling was clearly pre-cooked so it wasn't any concern. A very brief period after that, the first of three orders was presented to me. The woman behind the counter was doing double duty as the server, and sort of proudly declared lemon chicken. Confused, I told her that it was not what I ordered and she insisted it was. I insisted it was not and she asked what I did order. I told her again, that I had ordered the crispy bone in chicken, and she nodded, and stepped away with the chicken. After a slightly longer wait she set down a plate of sesame chicken and began walking away. This was absolutely not what I had ordered, but I did not want to cause any more trouble so began eating. To the credit of the restaurant, this was a pretty good sesame chicken. The coating was extraordinarily crisp, and the portions were very generous. The sauce was very simple, and quite sweet, but it was altogether very good. A bit into eating, a man (I assume to be the cook) came up to me and said sesame chicken, right? And I said that I was eating sesame chicken, though it was not what I ordered, but it was fine and that I did not mind. He asked what I did order and explained again, and he he checked the menu with me and began to take the food away. I protested mildly, but since he seemed set on replacing my meal, I relented. As he walked away , he told me to simply say the name of what I wanted rather than the number. Frustrated by the ordeal, I said nothing. After a decent wait, the food arrived. It was not what I expected, but the spicy sauce was intriguing enough that I tried it. The dish was bad. The chicken has a very metallic aftertaste, and is drier then I expected. The skin is very crisp but difficult to keep on the chicken, and carries it's own strange aftertaste. The sauce is okay, rich, sweet, and has just a tinge of spice. All in all, I will never return to Rose Garden, but if you properly communicate exactly what you want, in excruciatingly certain terms, you could probably fill yourself up with relatively cheap, and somewhat tasty americanized Chinese food. Do not order #13. It is perhaps the only Chinese food I've ever had that I would call terrible in every way

I've been here a few times and the cream cheese rangoons are my favorite. I also like the generous portions of their entrees. However, I had to stop going because one time I found a piece of glass in my food. Another time, some thin piece of metal (like a twist tie?). Very upsetting because the food is very good but I don't think it's worth potentially swallowing/chewing on glass for.

As a Cantonese American, I was very disappointed by the wonton noodle soup which tasted and look nothing like what the authentic dish would be...there was no shrimp in it and they used chow mein for the noodles instead of thin egg noodles. This place is really affordable but I would probably pay more to eat somewhere more authentic.

Great food and good portions for the price.

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

First time have been here, everything is soooo amazing, it is 200% if my expectations. The seafood are must try, and also Braised pigeon is a must try too, there so much thing I want to try next time👍👍👍👍

Dropped by here over the weekend. Been coming here for years, long before the pandemic. Been to other places that sell dumplings too. Some of those places sell premium dumplings too. The dumplings at this place are good. On par with the expensive places around the bay, even in LA. The service is okay. The atmosphere is casual. Definitely my go to pot for dumplings.

I ordered the braised eggplant with fish garlic sauce, and the pork noodle dish. While each dish was cooked with precision, the flavors failed to leave a lasting impression. Despite their culinary craftsmanship, the flavors lacked the depth and vibrancy I had hoped for, leaving me searching for ways to enhance the taste so I added soy sauce and chili sauce. The restaurant serves as a casual outing, However, for those in pursuit of culinary enchantment and gastronomic delight, it may be worth exploring other dishes for a more captivating experience. There were fresh dumplings being made, so if I come back, I will definitely order some of those. The restaurant was pretty, quiet, and a tip I would give to the owner is to play some music in the background.

This was the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I was in the area working so I decided to get me some salt and pepper prawns with fried rice and an order of dried fried ribs.

I was in the area working so I decided to get me some salt and pepper prawns with fried rice and a order of dried fried ribs. When I tell you the dried fried ribs were literally fried to a crisp. They fried them so hard there was no meat on them.the fried rice Was fine, except for the shrimp that they fry to a crisp as well. I decided to go back and give them another try and ask them to just remake the food, but it became such a hassle back-and-forth so I ended up just getting my money back. I would definitely never go here if I’m in the area of San Leandro again this would definitely not be the last result. Customer service is everything you do not need to be rude to people that are investing into your company.

Greetings, A lady was reviewing this spot on you tube. She called it legendary so I knew I had to try it. When I got there I could smell the food outside of the establishment which is usually a good sign. I ordered the General Chicken lunch special. I'm going to get right to the point. THE FOOD SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! Yawl call this crap legendary? Your out of your mind. The lunch special was terrible. The General chicken was spicy as HELL. I could barely eat it and i'm a spice head and the fried rice?, 🤣. That crap was a slap in the face to all good Chinese cooks. It taste like package rice. No onions and tge egg looked old. My fried rice at home is way better. If eye closed my eyes and ate that crap I wouldn't even know it was Chinese food. This was one of the worse Chinese specials I ever had and worse of all I have to carry this crap around in my body until it is digest. That's why I don't like to go off of reviews. This place has four and a half stars out of 5. 🤣🤣🤣. This place is a joke and I worn you to stay the HELL away. The absolute worse food I've had in a long time. I rarely eat out and this is why. These Chinese food places are cutting corners to make a profit and they are not authentic at all like there great grand parents in the 70's and 80's. That goes for Mexican food too. It all sucks and will have your ass in the hospital. I'm done!!!!!! These people are cheap and their ingredients are not authentic. What a waste of time and $.

I ordered in and crossed my fingers based on the reviews. WOW!! This is the best Chinese food I've had so far...seriously. The General TSO chicken - tender, juicy and excellent flavor! The spring roll was delicious. The fried rice was great and did not stick together at all!! For me, this is definitely a keeper!

Food was great. Flavors were phenomenal. Even listened when I asked for the entire order to be spicy. The boneless spare ribs might be fattier than you like but I prefer them this way so I really can’t complain. No seating so get your food and leave. FINAL VERDICT: will come again.

honestly, i’ve never been impressed with their food i always felt it was extremely bland but my fiancé likes ordering from them for some reason. i had him just get me a soup, simple enough except when i opened it there was a dark long hair floating in it. NEVER AGAIN.

Some solid Chinese food. The preperation was quick, the pork fried rice was good, general Tso chicken was good also. the chicken is more on the fried part side than the actual meat but not necessarily a bad thing. I got the lunch special and it came with your choice of soup or drink. not pictured but the Wonton Soup was good too. I wish the portion was a little bit bigger but for the price, this place is great. Quick and satisfied my Chinese takeout craving!👍👍👍 @foodmakesmenut on insta

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.
