Ling Nam Starbread

A Bay Area staple and home of the legendary starbread (or senorita bread). They've changed around their restaurant from when I've last come, separating the much smaller bakery at front and the larger savory (restaurant) in the rear.If you're doing takeout, I'd highly recommend ordering from the restaurant first, then the bakery, as the bakery items are almost instantaneous while the restaurant takes about 20-30min to cook the food, especially if you're ordering lots of food. This means it can take as long as an hour wait if there's a long line. And since the restaurant's right across the street from Classic Bowl, parking can be a huge problem even with the size of the parking lot. Plan accordingly.I usually order lumpias and a pork plate from the restaurant, and starbread from the bakery. Starbread is buttery and sweet, and best eaten fresh when it's hot. However, it doesn't last very long and doesn't microwave well, so take care in how much you order although it's always treasured in bulk if you're going to a large gathering. Their lumpia is quite good too, and comes with sweet dipping sauce.If you're have cash, you can also save about 5% of your bill over credit. Everything's very affordable.

Basic restaurant, clean eating area and nominal service. Does not leave your clothes smelling like your meal, great!Food was very good if not a bit pricey. Not unreasonable but I guess everything is more expensive now. Only tried the smoked milkfish with garlic fried rice and egg, but it was very good. I'll be coming back for more. It's better than the other local Filipino restaurants.

This is the best star bread location ever!! I've been to the Concord, Vallejo, Fairfield, and Union City location and they all do not compare. Every time I come here the bread is always nice and warm. I love the freshness of the bread and how it's perfectly baked each time 5/5. The location is in a busy plaza and the store itself it very tiny. They have a lot of other things that they sell but overall it's always a good experience here.

I've been hearing about star bread for ages now and I finally had the chance to try it cause i was in the area after going to pacifica and it is so delicious. So pillowy soft and sweet and comes out piping hot. I think I inhaled half the box immediately. it is that good and service is fast and lots of parking !

You can come here to get any Filipino dish and dessert you are craving for. You have the sit down restaurant serving your silogs, favorites like lechon kawali, crispy pata, congee, chicken inasal, sisig, kare kare, pan it you name it they have it. You come in and are greeted with the warm Filipino hospitality. Eating here is just like home. Next door is Starbread Bakery where everyone comes for the senorita bread, these sweet, soft, buttery sweet pillows of goodness. They also sell leche flan, suman, empanadas, ice cream in Filipino flavors like Ube, langka amd avocado. I always come for one thing but leave with a bunch of treats to share with friends and coworkers! One stop shop for all things Filipino to satisfy your heart's desire! 4 stars!

Food was amazing. Crispy pasta and Mickey bihon are the best. Thank you for the recommendation.

Was nearby and decided to stop in to grab some star bread. We got 20 pieces for $12 and waited a little to get it. It came out fresh and was really hot. It tasted so delicious and buttery, slightly sweet. I decided to bring them to a party and they were a hit! Love these breads and how cheap they are. Highly recommend!

Came here for Starbread. Love that they are still around. Guy at the counter was really helpful. I'm so happy that they are open late into the evenings. I am from SF and to me, I thought that the senorita bread always tasted the same but my hubby and his family is from the east bay and he said it tasted different from the other starbread location that he used to go to. I don't know to me bread is bread and bread is life. These senorita bread were hot fresh and fluffy oozing with that sugary goodness. The leche flan is creamy and sweet as well hits the spot. Place is clean and well kept. Will be coming back in the future to try out all their treats and baked goods.

Omg! This starbread is like crack. So addictive, especially when hot and fresh. It's sweet and salty, soft, and I can't just eat one.

4.8 stars!This place is as nostalgic as you can get (although they relocated). The place still looks the same. Exactly what I expect of a "carinderia" in the Philippines. They have fair prices and a great selection of items. Definitely get their silogs. The sago't gulaman and halo halo were really good! Cant beat the crispy pata silog. The Tita that was serving us was very nice and took good care of us.The Starbread is right next door! Cant beat the best, buttery, yeasty, softest senorita bread! Definitely order yourself a box!
