Beijing Bowl

Our favorite fast-food Chinese in San Leandro! I've tried most of the fast-food places in San Leandro, and this is the best one. Not only is the food good, but the customer service is excellent, which is hard to find at Chinese places. Parking is easy to find since they have a private lot. I can see why everyone loves their BBQ chicken. It's a must-order if you haven't tried it. The BBQ chicken is extra charred, like it came off the BBQ grill. It's flavorful without being too sweet. I love salt pepper pork chops, and theirs is pretty good. Their salt and pepper pork chops are bone-in, which is how I like them. They have more flavor and meat than the boneless ones. I also ordered beef fried rice, which I preferred over the premade fried rice under the warming lamp. It is more flavorful. Their sweet and sour chicken is not what most people use in the reddish color. It comes out more like an orange/yellow, similar to lemon chicken. It still tasted good, but could use more tart.

Food 4/5This place I've actually patronized some they first opened. When I lived closer I was more of a regular. Lee knew me and my son who was a toddler at the time. I miss her but she's older now and home enjoying the grand kids and resting. My friend's mom turned me on to Beijing Bowl for the teriyaki chicken. Nice and tender with that perfect grill taste. Before my food allergies I enjoyed many items on the menu like the chow mein, fried rice, pot stickers, Crab Rangoon, egg rolls, hot n sour soup, spicy chicken (a real fan fav). These days I tend to get the chicken Thai salad that's lite, healthy and does not trigger any of my food allergies. Service 4/5The young ladies who work there are great but I want Lee back. I love establishing rapports and building relationships at my regular places. Lee definitely knew my son and I. Ambiance 3/5Nothing fancy. Buffet style, Chinese fast food to go. They offer catering too.

I've been going to this place for over ten years and it's never disappointed! This is my favorite place in the city

Great Location , ample parking , surprisingly great value . First time customer , extremely satisfied . Egg Rolls enough for a visit . Steam table Chinese but the freshness and high volume of business ( bringing out fresh dishes to fill the table ) . I had the grilled chicken and a beef and broccoli . Both very fresh and the chicken especially . Women running the business are very nice . Will be back . They also have daily specials which are simply ordered as if in a regular resto . 10 - 15 min wait for those . Big Portions on the 2 item and fried rice .

This place is decent for the price, but not going to blow your socks off. Beijing Bowl serves Chinese FAST FOOD, so its important to have your expectations in check when your considering the quality. We usually get the Curry Chicken with a side of fried rice. The Curry Chicken is good because it has nice chunks of boneless chicken with some veggies such as potatoes and onions. I love to use the rice to soak up the surplus sauce.The service is good. The women who are typically at the counter are always eager to please and friendly. PRO-TIP: If you prefer your Chinese food "cooked to order", then just ask - they have some specials where they are happy to do this for you.

"BeiJing Bowl" is a Chinese fast food restaurant in San Leandro, CA. What's Chinese fast food? It's a chinese restaurant that has already prepared foods in steamers or heated trays that are ready to serve. You tell them what you want, and they serve it to you. Beijing Bowl also has "cook to order" entrees as specials. The sign says it'll take 10-15 mins to cook. Most likely they use hot woks, and can cook foods very quickly. Last Thursday I got done with my job in San Leandro, and Beijing Bowl was still open at 8pm. There was a steady flow of customers, which is a good sign. A chinese fast food place with steady business usually means the food is replenished or rotated often. So I went in, looked over the trays, and asked for:Fried Rice with Curry Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken. I also got a side of BBQ Chicken. For rice with 2 items, it's alot of food. You could probably feed 2 people.The fried rice was moist, not sticky, and fairly fresh. I picked rice because it can soak up the gravy and flavors of the curry chicken and kung pao. I liked the Curry Chicken. It was tender boneless chicken, potatoes, onions, and some other vegetables. Nice flavor, brought back some memories. I didn't like their Kung Pao Chicken recipe. It was chicken, onions, and undercooked carrots. Maybe red specks of chili peppers? Peanuts optional. I don't like crunchy carrots in cooked foods. I guess bell peppers are too expensive? Kung Pao Chicken should have chopped bell peppers, scallions, and a dose of red chili peppers. Americanized Kung Pao is usually sweet, savory, and with a little spicy heat. Peanuts give it a nutty flavor. The side of BBQ Chicken was a little dry and tough, I kind of expected that. But it looked good. Overall, a fairly good experience. You get alot of food for the price. I guess smart selections come with experience. I was there one hour before closing, and there was a limited selection. BeiJing Bowl is on the corner of Washington Ave & Halcyon Dr, in San Leandro. Free Parking in adjacent strip mall.

I'm going to miss Beijing bowl as my go to fast Chinese food restaurant when I move outta San Leandro! The ladies at the counter are the sweetest and the food is cheap but with quality taste. Super affordable and you get huge portions. You can't go wrong with anything here and here's a tip: if you don't want just chow mein or rice, ask for half and half with your plate! I love the egg drop soup here and wonton chipsLiterally drooling thinking about this place lol

Beijing Bowl is the reason I wake up in the morning. If I'm smiling, it's because i've thought about Beijing Bowl. If Beijing Bowl has one fan, I am that fan. The food here is so good. They have a very unique vegetarian menu, which I greatly appreciate. The orange tofu is to die for!! The portions are huge. If I ate meat I'd be here every day, you can get a combo with three entrees & one side for less than $11 (veg options are a la carte)! My takeout always lasts me 2-3 days because the portions are so generous.The service is very nice. I appreciate how kind the employees are & how they take the time to get to know you. It has that home feeling a lot of establishments lack now.The ambiance is familiar and kind. It feels like there is a community within here. It's an older building but has a lot of character.Wait can be a little long so call in & order if you're in a rush. Definitely worth it to support such a nice small business though!

I probably passed by Beijing Bowl a hundred times and never though about stopping by here. But today I just really felt the urge for some authentic Chinese fast food. Took the leap of faith and tried out Beijing Bowl.To my surprise, Beijing bowl and is very welcoming! It truly has that mom and pop feel because it really is family owned and ran. The 2 young ladies working the counter were very nice, welcoming, polite, and gave GENEROUS portions. They packed it beyond capacity, I'm not complaining LOL. They also gave great care with the food too! I ordered mushroom chicken, and the lady carefully drained the excess liquid before putting it into the to-go box. And our broccoli beef box was starting to leak a little from the sauce, she quickly placed it into its own bag. What service! The food was decent. I wouldn't say it's the best Chinese fast food I ever had, but it surpassingly wasn't as greasy as I was expecting. The highlights were their chow mein, mushroom chicken, and orange chicken. The yang chow fried rice, sweet n sour pork, mapo tofu were not up to the same caliber. But honestly, I love the home feel and the fantastic service! It feels good to support local. Will be back to try out their other dishes!

First time. came here. And the food is really good and the workers are friendly. There bbq pork is delicious
