“ Not a dine in place . I had chive dumplings w pork? they were so fresh w a lot of veggies chopped fine . Nicely steamed , I waited a bit because they cut everything fresh . Im a NY new resident of California. Elite lives up to its name delicious and best Ive ever tasted ”

“ I am a loyal customer to this restaurant from the first day I tried it. My normal dish I order is always Mongolian beef. I am pretty picky with foods, food quality, seasoning, meat quality and their Mongolian beef has been consistent every time I order. I have a customized request with the order and they always read and make it accordingly. They recognize regular customers and treat us like family. I now am comfortable trying things I have never had, which is something I rarely do when dining out. One surprise new dish was the steamed custard roll not sure if the exact name I ordered it as desert and now it remains a favorite. I recently tried the sesame ball sweet side and was amazed at how well the combination of flavors just. Melt in the mealth with the softness of the roll around it. It was perfect. I am hooked. And of course, I waited a long time to try the dumplings because I used to be a potsticker only person! I have tried several and so far my favorite is the chicken and corn with hot oil sauce. I used to stick to Mongolian beef and potstickers at any Chinese restaurant but this restaurant has completly changed my willingness to try new things and I find myself enjoying everything that I have ordered so far. Many people are like me and stuck to their normal dishes but this restaurant will change how and what you order after trying the dishes you may have nevercomsidered trying before. It is my favorite place to eat and I know there is such a good variety of food that I can order every day and get something new and I know itll be good because their quality is top notch. I hadnt looked at their frozen menu yet but will be doing that so I can enjoy some of the different dumplings for a late night snack though I know that Ill never be able to steam them as good as they do. Give them a try. You wont regret it as the menu has so many good options and they are more than willing to prepare things according to dietary needs or restrictions. ”

“ NO MSG I did not get thirsty after eating !!! This is an oasis since the majority of restaurants in San Leandro San Lorenzo are going back to the pre 1980 notorious eras of MSGS. I ordered 2 Dim Sums 2 beef noodles. The dim sums are tasty without MSG. The hot mild beef noodles are nice too. The soup is savory with no MSG too. They use Beef shank there are about 6 to 7 chunks. They SHOULD advertise on the website print on their menu in bold NO MSG. This is just a takeout ”

“ Absolutely amazing chinese food! As someone who travels a lot for work, its really difficult to find tasteful Chinese food. I had the sesame chicken with white rice and pork dumplings delivered through Uber Eats. The food arrived hot and smelled amazing. The sesame chicken was perfectly glazed with the right amount of sesame seeds on top of it. The white rice was fluffy, soft, and paired brilliantly. Finally, the pan fried pork dumplings were the best Ive ever had! They had the an amazing crust on the outside with a mouthwatering filling. If Im ever back in Hayward I will be sure to get this place again! ”

“ What a hidden gem! Wonderful takeout and even better, great premade frozen dumplings you can take home and make later. Ive been here twice, and they are so friendly and the food terrific. Each time I got something to go hot and something frozen to make later. Definitely worth the short drive for me to pick up and bring back. Foodie friend liked their dumplings so well she bought extra to take home to her family, too. They may have delivery, we were just driving by the easytogetto location. ”

“ During my onsite job for a customer in Cali near Elite Dumpling, my coworker and I had the pleasure of dining at this establishment for both lunch and dinner over 4 to 5 days. I highly recommend this diner to anyone visiting Hayward, CA, as it truly is a hidden gem. One of my personal favorites from their menu is the salt and pepper fish, which was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. Additionally, the lamb dumplings with Chinese vegetables were an absolute delight. The flavors and spices used in their dishes really set them apart they are simply on fire! The beef chow fun was large portion and good but average. I cannot praise this restaurant enough for its delicious food and welcoming ambiance. If you ever find yourself in the area, do not miss the opportunity to experience this culinary delight at Elite Dumpling. ”

“ This place is literally a hidden gem! If your not from the area you may get a bit turned around as it is tucked in the corner of a minimart just off the main street. Once you find it, it is like being teleported into the BEST dumpling factory. People are literally rolling fresh handmade dumplings when you walk in! The restaurant itself could use a bit of a facelift, it very much so comes across as a hole in the wall. It seems the focus is the food and I dont blame them, why fix what isnt broken? We ordered using a GrouponWELL WORTH IT! We tried so many dumplings all better than the other and combo chow mein with skinny noodles, EVERYTHING was FRESH and exquisite! The service was exceptional and efficient. I would definitely recommend if youre in the area or not, worth the drive. ”

“ I really like the food and service from here. I usually get the chicken fried rice, which is consistently good. The packaging is reusable which is amazing, and they are always super nice when i come in, letting me know how long until my food is ready i order online which is usually earlier than what is said online. The hot sauce is absolutely delicious also!! ”
