Ben's Reviews
heard this was good and it really did not disappoint. they're all approachable.
The restaurant is small and dirty. The food is fresh and simple cooked to perfection by Ben a grandmaster chef.
Got myself beef broccoli with chow mein to go. Really enjoyed the food, it’s filling, the seasoning is there. Snap peas were sweet and crunchy, so was the broccoli. Coming back soon.

Ben's is a small, family-run restaurant in the heart of Oakland's produce market. This hole-in-the-wall place serves Americanized-Chinese cuisine in a traditional, old-school way. The menu is limited, but everything is always good and comes in generous, trencherman-sized portions. The Wednesday Fried Chicken special is a popular choice, served with white rice and fresh broccoli florettes, and comes with a delicious spicy dipping sauce. Be sure to try the seriously yummy chili sauce, a favorite among regulars. This no-frills eatery has odd hours, but it's worth a visit to support the family who runs it. Cash only, and it's best to get take-out due to the tiny space.
