No Stars for this place. I ordered dinner for two and didn't receive the main course. When I called to inquire about it, I was yelled at and told there was no bbq pork with this menu. I will never go there again. I suggest you think twice before ordering.

I could definitely say Gim’s is my favorite to-go restaurant in the whole of Bay Area and that says a lot!! Everything is really good but my favorite is the sweet & sour pork over rice. Lunch menu is cheaper so it’s better to order around that time. Now they have knick-knacks on the side available to purchase. Definitely will keep coming back to this hidden gem in Alameda! 😋👍🏼

This was the worst Chinese I’ve had. Years ago this place had good food. Honey walnut prawns were served with peanuts! Really? All of the food was bland and just tasted like salt. Very disappointed! I threw out $65 of food after trying everything.

The won ton soup was hardly any meat, shaped oddly like he did not know how to make them, instead of a meat dumpling it was like a cigarette, and so salty you had to ri se your mouth out.

We just ordered from Gims, first time in a few years, and the food was a reminder why we'll wait a few more years to try what was once our favorite.

Gem's Chinese Restaurant in now my local favorite, and for good reason! The potstickers are a must-try, perfectly crispy on the outside and filled with a delicious savory filling. Their BBQ fried rice is another standout dish, generously packed with tender meat in every bite, making it incredibly satisfying. The family style interior and friendly staff only add to the experience, making every visit to Gem's feel special. Whether you're a longtime fan or a first-time visitor, Gem's Chinese Restaurant never disappoints!
Vegetarian options: With a wide array to select from, they also take into account your spice level since I like my food on the spicy side.

this place is an absolute scam! i bought a hoodie off ”essential’s” and don’t get confused because yes it’s a clothing brand and this is a restaurant. this restaurant embezzled funds from the clothing brand and stole $61 from me and the company. yes i was refunded $61 but i needed to bring awareness to this situation.

I have been coming to Gim’s since 1979 when Gim and his main cook were woking it up like they wanted to be millionaires! Best Chinese food in all of the S.F. Bay Area from 1979-2013 Hands down?? even Yan can cook visited Gim’s spot to give this place respect!So busy!!!!I come back in October 2023 and order BBQ Pork Fried Rice because that’s one of my Favorites. Sweet tender high quality pork nuggets, with fresh light egg, peas and carrots seasoned just right with a hint of fish sauce, rice cook fluffy! YumNope!!!Opened box and pork smelled of cheap meat market meat upon opening, The rice was slightly burnt, brown. Half a fried egg that was less than desirable and not fluffy. No peas or carrots.So half a cup of low quality pork, half an egg, 1 1/4 cups of rice burnt for $14.35And it was quiet, no phone orders while waiting??♂️If this is still run by his children I sure wished they would have been in the kitchen just a little bit more and caught those special technique's from Gim and his side kick wok man!I miss you Gim?You are the Man!Great Food you presented to everyone!??A Legend for those who knew….
