Arrived to eat in and the place was small but not crowded. The food was delicious but doesn’t have a bathroom. Recommend getting food and drinks to go and eating elsewhere

We had dinner at this quaint Dim Sum restaurant last night. Proprietors are a young Chinese couple, their dim sum dishes rivals some of the fancier larger Chinese restaurants. And at a much more reasonable price. We highly recommend Dim Sum Best of Taste to anyone interested in a good hearty dim sum (small plates) meal. And we would definitely come again next time we're in Alameda.

Pleasantly surprised by how good everything is here! The staff is super nice and helpful about my son’s food allergies, and I heard them helping another customer out with their food allergies as well.
The atmosphere is definitely more “boba shop” than “dim sum restaurant,” which was kind of nice because it made it much quicker. I wish they had tea service though.
We loved the egg custard bao. The custard has a slight coconut taste to it, and was very creamy and not too sweet. Hard to describe, but a lot of other custard fillings use too much corn starch and is much denser, whereas this is much more delicate in texture.
The egg tarts were also surprisingly good. The crust was super flakey and had structure.
I also loved their steamed sparerib & rice noodle special. Perfect balance of flavors!
This place is no Dragon Beaux in the city, but I thought was much better than HK East Ocean. Definitely did not expect it, but so delighted by this place.

As someone who just moved to the neighborhood and is currently 9 months pregnant, I was craving some good Dim Sum. Decided to take a chance on Uber/Postmates delivery. I was blown away and pleasantly surprised. Food can warm and toasty and the food is AMAZING! Will definitely come back in person to try more options. This is the best Dim Sum thus far and will be my newest pregnancy craving moving forward. The dumplings are SO GOOD! Presentation, Quality, flavor etc. with soy sauce and chili oil - Chefs kiss 💋 I would have provided a picture for my review but I inhaled it before I could start this review 😅

Ordered Siumai, pork rib, and boba and a variety of frozen items to go. The food is super tasty! I hope they open a store in South Bay one day.

I am a selfish human. I want to give them a high rating because I want then to be successful, but I don't want to fight you all for a place to sit.
I wish they had a few side dishes (fried rice, or Chinese broccoli, white rice) just so you can make a full meal. But the food wash fresh and delicious. Staff was absolutely nice. Took all the women in my life for Mothers Day dim sum and no one was disappointed!
Will definitely be coming for more!

The very best surprise - everything was delicious. We were looking for a new dumpling place after a climbing session hungry to eat and this place did not disappoint. Great dumplings that come fast and hot. The boba and iced coffee were great too

Food quality is great and the staff is nice and friendly. They have space for dine in but I've only taken out. Seems like if you wanted to dine in, you'd have the run of the place (Saturday morning around 11am). It's a smaller place so it might not have all the dim sum offerings, but what they do have tasted great. Plus minimal wait times. You should also consider this place if you want to take it to go but don't want to head into Oakland Chinatown

It is rarely to enjoy 5 stars service (fast, nice, accurate and clear explanation) and food (fast, no msg, enough meat but thin dim sum wrappers) in Bay Area no matter in Chinese or non Chinese restaurants. While waiting for the food, my brother and I were absolutely sure the food must be imported from other factories or stores because the pictures on the menu looked exactly same like other most of restaurants. Then, when we saw the real food. Both of us said we guessed right and laughed. However, after we tried the dim sums, we were pretty sure the food were truly made in this small restaurant!!! hahaha!
I really appreciate that their soup dumplings come in little trays that don’t stick so the soup is not lost in the cook or by you being rough or not timing the cool down/dehydrate/stick factor perfectly!

Cute restaurant/takeout place in Alameda. Dim Sum dumpling sizes were larger than normal. The Siu mai were huge! We put in the order and literally got served our first dish right as we sat down. Impressed with the service, taste of dishes, speed, and cleanliness. Would return.
