Chinese Super 5 Kitchen
555 Lewelling Blvd, San Leandro, CA 94579, United States
While I dont consider myself a expert with Chinese food, I do have a lifetime of eating it.The offerings here are authentic Chinese, mainly Southern Cantonese style. So not your super spicy Hunan or Northern China kind of flavors.The ingredients are fresh and cooked perfectly. The only thing missing is the amount of spice in my curry noodle dish.The owners run this business and really care about their customers.The restaurant is easy to overlook because it is part of the motel in back. But its gems like this that make it worth seeking out, a genuine hole in the wall.The seating is simple so no frills here. Its a place to eat the ample portions. Cost is about average but slightly above a similar place in say Oakland Chinatown.I recommend choosing any of the lunch specials even for dinner, as those are the best value.Overall, I recommend this place if you want to fill up and have a great menu to choose from.
Sl Kitchen
1057 MacArthur Blvd, San Leandro, CA 94577, United States
Spotted this place on our way to Yosemite. We thought of packing lunch to save some time. This restaurant didnt disappoint us. Very fast service and the food tasted authentic Thai. We packed the following.1. Chicken Pad Thai- Very nicely prepared and had tofu in it.2. Crispy Chicken over fried rice- This was unique. Cooked with fish oil and very delicious and crispy chicken.Clean and well maintained bathrooms. Very courteous staff. Will visit again on our way back.
The Cooler
1517 E 14th St, San Leandro, CA 94577, United States
Nothing really impressive here. Beer was par for a craft taphouse, maybe just a touch too warm. The downfall here was that it had no real personality. Nothing set it apart. There was no theme, no desirable mood, and the bartenders just seemed overall uninterested. I even tried to engage them in several different conversation topics ranging from 3 different sports, their favorite beers from the menu, and even about an assortment of card/board games they had on display. Their response to all attempts was lukewarm at best. They were very knowledgeable when asked direct questions, the selection was broad, and service was prompt. However this tap house had no personality or energy whatsoever. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a quiet beer after leaving the office, maybe you have a few more reports to send and just need a beer to get through them. This is your spot. However if you need a little energy to end your Friday and fire up your weekend, youll find this place about as lifeless than a morgue.
Bluebird Pizzeria
496 E 14th St, San Leandro, CA 94577, United States
I think the location is ideal. They were certainly busy! In-door dining had just reopened and although they technically had only 2 booths open for seating, there were way too many people inside waiting for orders and standing too close to us. Plus, someone came in for a pickup and rather than wait outside, she and her child sat in the next booth that was supposed to be closed. Overall, not a comfy situation. Apparently someone didnt show up for work and/or they were slammed, because the person making the pizzas was really mad at some of the kids working there. She was hurling obscenities left and right at the top of her lungs. Hummm... not a good first impression. As for the pizza, I thought is was good, not great. Swimming in grease. Some people like that but not my favorite. (Full Pepperoni, with half mushroom and jalapeno). You could tell the pizza maker was mad...it showed up on her unhappy food. Maybe well give it another try.
Saigon House Restaurant
15001 Farnsworth St, San Leandro, CA 94579, United States
I feel lucky this restaurant is very near my bank otherwise I may have missed it. Garlic noodles and Korean BBQ is delicious and the stir fry tofu with vermicelli (#72) is what I plan to eat next time as I appreciate vegetarian options the Saigon House offers. Not to mention the the place feels like home to me and I dont want to take anything to go, although you can order online etc., so I can eat it hot and in a friendly social setting. I plan to enjoy the soups as well as the rice and vermicelli dishes. My kitchen will be going through a make-over this month so I have been looking for a place where I can go regularly and enjoy a wide range of food in the comfort of a second home. Yes, it was THAT good.

Great serving amount and food is not bad at all. One of the better take out chinese restaurants in San Leandro. Try the rice noodles! And eggplant tofu!
Top Hatters Kitchen and Bar
855 MacArthur Blvd, San Leandro, CA 94577, United States
We are a family of three including a 13-yr-old. We popped in having only heard of Top Hatters and driven by it so many times. No reservation, just a walk in and we were sat in minutes, even had a choice between inside and out. Got lucky. We sat outside.Its a concept menu thats not very kid friendly--but we managed. I dont mind QR ordering, though Ive only seen this ordering method at comedy clubs.The menu is very imaginative, and descriptive, though its tough to know if it will be enough food to satiate. The raw oysters were medium sized with an overwhelming taste of citrus--not extraordinary. Our small plate was tender meat bites wrapped in Viet herbs with a dipping sauce (see photo). These were a great way to get the palate jump started. The Kohlrabi Salad offers fresh flavor and crunch as well.Our main dish was a medium-sized Rockfish (see photo). The presentation is impressive, and the flavor pulls through from skin to bone. We were impressed how meaty and hardy the fish was, made for great fish wraps using the herbs and lettuce. Of all the sauces, the tamarind paired best with everything.Our 13-yr-old loved the short rib, especially the ramen that it comes with. We got lucky, but the short rib is likely the only thing Id say is kid-friendly.The front of the menu explains in great detail why they choose to use a QR code for ordering. One of the reasons stated it makes for fewer ordering mistakes. However, we were given the wrong side to our fish and I was left scrambling to my phone to double check. They fixed it, but it was strange I was the one who had to check the order.Service was very friendly and we were checked on by multiple people. The food and drink were well made, flavorful, and satisfying. However, as others have mentioned, it is tough to justify the price point when there are other options nearby that offer more variety.
Hanami
United States, California, San Leandro, Bancroft Ave, 邮政编码: 94577
This is kind of an out of the way spot which is taking over an old pho restaurant.I flew in late to Oakland airport, I need something warm and homey. Frankly, I was itching for a good ramen. Having lived in the Bay Area many years, I knew I could find something like that.This place wasnt too far off of my path, and it was late and they were still open.Walking in the place is fairly unassuming, yet there is still some customers there. Almost that closing. I asked quickly if it was too late to grab a ramen, the kind gal could be said please have a seat.Looking around, I saw several tables that were covered with dirty dishes and uneaten food. Well that wasnt necessarily a great first impression, at least they had a good rush.Sitting down I received a menu, and a glass of cold water.Looking at the menu there was a variety of ramens to choose from, and so I went to my go-to Tonkotsu. Almost nothing better than a Tonkotsu with Chashu late at night. Done that many times after hours in Tokyo.Anyway I had to add Gyoza as a side to complete it.First come out the gyoza, and their fried on all sides. That is not my first choice, and this is very common when prepared by non-Japanese. I bit in, and while decent, they were not great. But the Ramen came out, and I was very excited. It smelled right, the broth was piping hot, and there was several good pieces of Chashu.First, I sip the broth. It was good and hot. Second, I slurped the noodles, they are firm, warm, and perfect flavor. I grab a little sneak bite of a Chashu, Its warm, nice savory flavor, and a good thick piece. Im pleased. I dive in. Before I knew it the ramen was gone, Gyoza, pretty much gone, and I was very full. The broth was nice and hardy, with a savory thick flavor, and simply it was a calming experience before hitting the hotel.For me my final question is always would I go back? The answer is a definite yes. Though I probably would not get the gyoza. But if youre looking for a good ramen, I recommend.
Kigawa Bistro
2108 Marina Blvd, San Leandro, CA 94577, United States
We arrived for dinner on a Monday evening and had to wait a few minutes for dirty tables to be cleaned up before being seated by a lady. We were placed on the other side of the counter, and promptly ignored for another 15-20min. :( Ultimately, another couple who arrived after we did had their order taken first, which was a bummer.Another employee (a man) eventually took pity on us and grabbed our orders, but apparently didnt seem too familiar with the market pricing (MP) of some of the fish (specifically, neither uni nor toro have their prices listed on the menu) and informed us that the uni would be $22/$24 for 2 sashimi depending on whether San Babara (per the sign, but Im assuming from Santa Barbara) or Japanese in origin, and that the toro was $15. With this information, we ordered a Chirashi Don ($23), a Hamachi Don ($23.50), and a toro sashimi.For the most part, we loved our fish! It came served atop a bed of ice to keep it nice and hydrated. The hamachi was a winner, as well as the tuna in my chirashi. The salmon was decent, but the amberjack and other white fish in my chirashi were a little more chewy and just OK.We still felt a little hungry after our bowls, so we added on an additional Dragon Roll ($14.50) to fill up with. Texture was good and the flavor wasnt anything to write home about, but decent and filling overall.We love fish and enjoyed our meal, but were disappointed to find at the end that we were charged $16 and change for our toro sashimi, with the staff adamant on not honoring what they told us before. Ultimately, this price difference wasnt killer, but it was still a bit of a disappointment in our experience of this joint.At least the lady came by often to fill up our tea after wed gotten our orders, I guess. Im not sure if service is hit-or-miss on different occasions, and whether our one server was just one-off uninformed, but Id probably give them at least one more chance for their tasty fish...
