Quick & delicious— Came here two days in a row for lunch!
This restaurant has been here since 1988 & is the definition of a hidden gem. They are tucked away in the hills of Hayward, but also close to Cal State East Bay.
I am a sucker for quick lunches. At China Best Restaurant, not only is it affordable, you get massive portions. Each meal is cooked to order so you’re getting steaming hot & homemade food. You should expect a ~15-20 minute wait for your food, but I promise it’s worth it!
Their menu is quite large, but very easy to read & makes sure that everyone has something to eat. I was excited to try their beef with bitter melon combo (comes with chow mein & steamed rice)! I chose the black bean sauce. The second day, I ordered the same combo, but asked them to sub the beef with chicken. They happily accommodated my request & quickly took my order over the phone.
I was not prepared for the amount of food that was piled into that takeout container— and for only $15 too! Each combo could easily be 2-2.5 meals.
Both days, the beef and the chicken were succulent but still had the right amount of chew. The bitter melon was cooked exactly how I like it, still had a nice crunch! The noodles were seasoned lightly, which was a nice change of flavor for typical Chinese restaurants where everything is overly salty!
They have plenty of seating if you’re looking to dine in rather than order takeout. The restaurant presents itself as a fairly standard place to eat because the food speaks for itself. No need for fancy decorations. I will say, the restaurant is very clean which I appreciate. Next time I’m around, I’ll dine in so I can try out a bowl of soup.
Make sure you ask for some chili oil, I’m not sure if it’s house made but it’s a nice Szechuan style chili oil and it goes so well with the chow mein!

Simply the best Chinese food in town! Jessica has been there for years, and it is a family! Her smile and friendliness meets you at the door EVERY TIME. The ambiance is always so welcoming and comforting. The food is absolutely rib sticking good. I must have, a must try, a must keep coming back

Just spend 20 minutes trying to order for delivery. I’m not a techno-dolt, Beyond Menu kicked me out every fourth try and kept trying to set my location=the other side of town. When I called to order verbally, they declined, said I had to do it online. What a janky, awful experience.

The egg fried noodle with chicken we ordered is totally a disaster, the chicken isn’t fresh and very smelly, taste like spoiled. The other one fried rice is fine.

China Best has been our #1 go-to Chinese restaurant as long as we have lived in Hayward. There is not a single dish of disappointment, but our absolute favorites are: walnut prawn, combination chow fun, salt & pepper pork, and Mongolian beef. Last night we had friends over, so we picked up: peking spare rib (aka sweet and sour pork ribs), eggplant and tofu in garlic sauce, combination pan fried noodle, and fish fillet in black bean sauce. It’s making me hungry again writing this post.
The owner is an absolute sweetheart. When I first started going to the restaurant, I was pregnant with my second child and made extra requests like not adding any salt to salt &pepper pork… now I think about it that’s ridiculous but she made it happen for me with always a smile on her face. It’s a family-fun restaurant that can be trusted by local residents.

Their fried rice was literally the worse fried rice I have tasted. It was stale with weird flavors mixed in.

Okay where has this little gem been hiding. I’ve lived in Hayward my entire life and never knew about this place. Small family business and they are so friendly. The food is fresh. The prices are average. Not the least expensive place in Hayward but they give you large portions. I usually come here a few times a month. My favorite dish thus far has to be their kung pao chicken.
