“Alright.. I’ve gone to this place for 10 years. Now it’s reopened as An’s Canteen. I love Jian Bing and this was really the only place to get it near me. When I saw the new owner I was surprised - but once I saw him making the Jian Bing he was making it with such precision, it felt like Jiro Dreams of Jian Bing. The new cracker is better. It doesn’t get soggy.

A+, 10/10, even better than last version.“

It's great value for money and has a couple of vegan options - I usually get the chongqing street noodles for the mala numbing oomph. I love the sides too - highly recommend the potato, cucumber and mushroom fungus. Always a go to for me whenever I'm in Oakland!“

“Really enjoyed our visit!
Maybe family run? They seem to speak Cantonese and Mandarin.

The herbal soups were good! We tried #8 and #11 chicken with ginseng. Both tasted healthy but I think I preferred #8 a little more. The soups are in the little cylindrical ceramic containers and make a good appetizer/side dish. Fun to get as a part of one of their special combos.

The special dim sum of garlic clams was tasty and pretty fresh. Excellent value for $6.50!

Enjoyed the sticky rice too - well balanced flavors and not overly salty.

The beef tendon with noodles was tender and had a good texture. A smidge salty for my taste but flavorful and a good size.

Fast & friendly service - there was a bit of confusion about how many soups we ordered but got it sorted out.

The bathroom seems to be upstairs so might be a challenge if there are mobility limitations.

Look forward to trying other dishes next time!“

Small seating area and expect at least a short wait on the weekends. Great for groups of 2-6 people.

Not the most kid friendly place, but they aren't discouraged.

“This is one of my two favorite Chinese places in the Bay Area. I've been going there for like 15 years, miss them a lot when I'm in DC working. It's a very affordable place, the lunch deluxe deal is unbeatable. They can also do dishes that are not in the menu for the connoisseurs like pak chit kai, the traditional steamed half hen with a tangy and tasty ginger garlic scallion condiment. It's no frills, but we are not here for a Michelin experience but to eat really delish Chinese Cantonese plates. And the owners are always really nice and they speak Spanish (at least some, and they are funny)“

The majority of the seating is inside with one table outside.

“This is the best place for steamed bun in Oakland Chinatown! My family and I have been going here for many years and we have always enjoyed their pork buns, "big" buns (contains egg, chicken, seasoned pork, and Chinese sausage), cabbage & pork buns, and custard buns. For us, their steamed bread products are really what shine here, the bread is fluffy & soft without being too sweet or dry and the fillings are well-seasoned, fresh, and plentiful. Yummy Dim Sum was closed for a while for remodeling and our family had to try other places in Chinatown for steamed buns and all the others were not even close to the quality of this place. After remodeling, their prices were raised a bit (around $1 to $1.50 per item), but their prices are still very affordable and honestly, I don't think any small shops in the Bay Area can survive charging any less than they do at the moment. Furthermore, the shopkeepers are very nice and patient when we go there, which is always a nice plus for to-go shops such as this. Given they are one of the last good steamed bun places left in Oakland, my family & I are more than happy to support them when we can and would highly recommend you give them a try as well!“

I love this place and I recommend it to anyone their customer service is phenomenal and the food is just as good. They made me an egg foo young that was zero carb and made me salt and pepper pork that did not have any breading and was also zero carb. On top of that they were super friendly about it and had no problem making me something special. I have ordered this same thing now several times and I will keep coming back.“

“If you like the predecessor of 8th St Cafe, called D&A cafe at the corner of Webster st cross 7th st 20 years ago, you would love this Hay Yue restaurant.I came for dinner today. The dishes are $20-$25 each, not too bad considering minimum wage is $16 an hour. If you want to enter value mode, you can get $39.99 for 3 dishes in smaller portions.The bamboo lamb brisket in clay pot is as delicious as you would expect. The one in my photo is a small portion version. A lot of lamb, very generous.Scrambled egg with prawns is a Hong Kong classic dish and this restaurant cooked it very well. The eggs are creamy as it should be. You can compare it with scrambled egg with bitter melons, which is another style that cooked the eggs a bit more. I like the creamy one more. This restaurant cooked these two dishes in two different styles that they should be, very good job here.If you like spicy food, you can give sichuan stir-fried chicken a try. It is surprisingly spicy enough to taste good.They have some customizations for clay pot rice which are not shown in the menu. For example, we can order a larger size of chicken pot rice with added preserved meat. I am not fond of pot rice in general, but they are very popular in this restaurant. People started ordering them at around 10:30 am!You will not be disappointed with the milk tea with condensed milk as well.Hay Yue restaurant is definitely a strong character in chinatown that you should put it on top of your taste menu, especially now other good ones were folded or gone.“

“Really solid Chinese food. I've now gotten the won ton soup, chow mein, and Mongolian beef a few times. Bottom line is this is my new go-to Chinese spot.The service has been prompt and friendly (I've always got take away).The location is bare bones but clean.Chicken Chow Mein was a large portion, great flavor, and the chicken was cooked perfectly (thin cut, tender, tasty; most places overcook). I do wish the noodles were more al dente, they were a bit soft for me. There could also be more chicken.Mongolian beef was my favorite, really tasty, pretty classic brown Mongolian sauce with Sichuan pepper.The won ton was solid too, I can't find better in the immediate area. Broth was good. So many won tons! They were good, shrimp and (I think) ground pork inside. Shrimp were tender (another thing many places overcook). Pork filling was kinda bland but given other flavors it's fine. Other stuff in there: BBQ pork, chicken, squid, shrimp, maybe some beef, some greens .... But just a few pieces of each.“
