I’ve been here 2 times for dine in and 4 times for takeout. All times my experience was neither bad or good. Just regular customer service. Today I placed in order over the phone. I walked in to pay for my order once I got to the cash register I stated what I was picking up and she replied. Do you have cash? I said no, and she directly said afterwards, next time, bring cash. She stated usually if a bill is less than 15$ they won’t do it. This was never told to me and I think deliver upon that request could’ve been nicer. Me and my friends usually walk to this location because it’s very close to where we live, but will now go out of our way to find a place with better customer service. On a good note, food is usually good, but this spoiled my experience.

They are one of the best sushi restaurants I have ever been to!! We dined inside and the vibe was really cozy and peaceful. They have plenty of outdoor dining space and there’s a huge parking lot in the back. We ordered hibachi steak, chicken ramen, 100A roll, and Adelphi roll. Hibachi steak and ramen were alright, not too bad and nothing extraordinary. Ramen just felt like regular noodles to me. Sushi on the other hand was the best!! Totally loved it! I would definitely love to try the other rolls on their menu. Staff was super friendly and the service was quick. Their prices are also reasonable according to the portions. I’ll definitely recommend this place for sushi.

This could've been a 5 stars but the service was a bit interesting. I'll start with the positives though. Phenomenal food!! The Chickpea Curry, the Mapo tofu and the Kaya Toast were all very delicious. Everything was bursting with flavor, was spiced correctly and just felt so homey. Honestly, everyone should eat here because the food is that good. Where things were lacking though was the service. It seemed like we were being rushed and there was so much space still available. I do have to say, it wasn't as pricy as we thought it was going to be either which was a nice plus.

Cassia is such a solid spot—I’ve been maybe 5 times over the past 5 years, and the food is always on point. The flavors are bold, the dishes feel creative but not over-the-top, and everything’s just consistently tasty. Last night, they surprised us with some complimentary desserts at the end of the meal, which was such a sweet touch. The only thing I’d say is that it’s a little pricey, so maybe not an every-week kind of place, but totally worth it for a nice date night or celebration. Definitely one of my go-to spots in Santa Monica when I’m looking for something reliable and delicious.”

I've passed by this spot many times during my lunch walks and finally got a chance to try it! I usually get Guilin rice noodles from other places in the area, so I was excited to see another option. I ordered the A1 House Special Pot-Roasted Guilin Rice Noodles with marinated beef, beef tripe, and crispy pork. I really enjoyed it, the flavors were great, the portion size was generous (I could probably split it into two meals), and the price was very affordable. The only downside is that the dish was a bit greasy, but I appreciated the bowl of clear broth they provided to balance it out.

Edited Jan 2025: I started coming here soon after it opened and my year end credit card summary shows this was in my top 10 merchants where I made the most transactions in 2024 haha. Can't recommend enough! I usually get the A4 dry noodle, once I got the soup noodle and it was also very good. I always add the dried chili sauce to the dry noodle, which makes it even better.

This place is definitely going to be one of my go to spots! This place is not too far from my work and I cannot believe this is the first time I’m coining here. If you love Asian food, you need to come eat here. I mean it’s nothing fancy but the food is good and hits the spot! Came here with my co-workers and funny enough we ordered all the same things. The crispy pork chops with steamed rice or fried rice is bussin (very good)! I give that dish 5 stars! I’m pretty sure all the other dishes are great too. So the way it works is you can order at the counter or at your table. They serve you and then pay at the counter on your way out. The service is great, not a very long wait to get your food. The restaurant looks like a mini cafe but it can probably seat about 40 plus or minus. It’s clean but it can get crowded a bit loud. So there’s plenty to choose from in the menu. You better believe I’m coming back!

Had a tasty braised tofu combo hotpot which was really exceptional Good wok hei flavor, excellent ingredients. I gobbled it up so quickly that the rice in the bottom of the pot didnt get to form that crispy crust that can be such a treat. This is a basic, hole in the wall place and if this is the standard of food at a modest price, it is a gem not to be missed

Great choice folks. Believe me I wouldn't say it unless I had a good experience there. My first time I wad on a limited budget and got enough for my money. Excellent delivery when they said it would arrive. Good phone order service no worries 👍🏽

The guy running the register was too busy yapping with a customer ahead of me and left part of my order out of the bag. I didn’t realize until I was home. I had to drive back in the snow storm to pick it up and I had ended up adding an appetizer as well. Nothing was comped. They couldn’t even deliver the missing part of my order. Been a customer for years but will now be going to Mandarin House instead. Their food is better anyway.

Finally tried this place after passing by it dozens of time when going to New Tin's Market. Was pretty good. Had your usual large menu for this type of Hong Kong style cafe, while all the items were decently priced compare to the other restaurants of this type nearby. A nice plus for this place was that most cafe style entree menus include a drink which is usually extra at other places. The taste was good and the portion as decent. Only bad thing to say was that it took a while for all my food to arrive, I was with a friend and I ordered a baked dish while my friend just order the curry chicken with rice. My baked dish came out pretty fast for a baked dish, but my friends curry didn't come out until I was almost done eating mine. So there's a question on how good the service is.

Cheap eats in the edge of Oakland China Town. I've walked by this place many times but it was my co worker who brought me here. They're won ton soup is a big win. Lots of noodles, you have the option of egg your rice noodles, and meaty won ton. Add a cold or hot milk read for an extra dollar.

This is a bare bones, basic Chinese food place. My husband loves it. He always says that the portions are more than generous. He also doesn't get indigestion after eating their food which is a good thing. They no longer allow you to eat inside so it is only for delivery or carry out. The people who work there are super friendly and the prices are reasonable.

I haven't even pulled off from in front of the location because I wanted to make sure that I left my review so I didn't forget and while it was fresh on my mind I didn't even make it home before trying some of my food because it smells so delicious. So it was a little bit disappointed because outside the place doesn't look that great so I was nervous about whether the food was going to be good or not because outside but this is why they say do not judge a book by its cover. They do not have steam tray anymore but they have rice plates which you can either get steamed rice (white rice,) fried rice, chow mein for an extra dollar you can add meat. They have a variety of different items you can choose from for Rice plate. I asked what she recommended she told me orange chicken and Mongolian beef so I opted into the orange chicken because I was already looking at it and let me tell you I was not disappointed total came up to 10 bucks I did not have to wait more than 10 minutes the food was hot fresh flavorful and quick. If you are in the area or even if you're not in the area and you want some cheap but good tasting nice quality food come here the orange chicken was not too overwhelming with the orange flavor but you can tell that it was a fresh orange sauce it was supposed to be spicy but it wasn't super spicy to me the batter is super crispy and crunchy is lightly coated with just the right amount of sauce and it's enough meat in there to where you're not getting overwhelmed with the batter the chow mein had Fresh Veggies like bean sprouts green onion white onions and cabbage and was not overcooked and was flavorful. Easily 8.5 out of 10 will definitely be back. I'm in the car right now debating if I want to go back and order the Mongolian beef or not. Definitely one of the better places in Oakland I will say the regular menu is kind of expensive though but if you can afford it get it and a plus is a ginger ale for a $1.50
