I love this place. I like to get the half duck or roast pork rice plate. Always a Hong Kong milk tea. They are always kind too. It’s my little slice of community.

This is a place where we find a lot of locals eating here. We ordered three pieces combo and beef fried noodles— the portion is great and food is so tasty.

Ordered congee & a shrimp rice noodle roll off the breakfast menu from this no non-sense Cantonese restaurant. Hit the spot on a cold morning & very steady traffic ordering different bbq items.

The roasted pork was so tasty and tender. Usually I never like this kind meat. But this time I enjoyed very much. So was Clayton good! The gentleman who cuts the meat at the entrance is very quick and friendly. Only one of waitresses is very rude

Quite authentic Hong Kong-style BBQ, not the best in its class but they won the price war. Their breakfast deal is unbeatable in the entire bay area at <$8 with a drink of your choice. Taste is ok, as well as their service... there is more room for improvement than room for comfort seating, but overall a solid 3.5 out of 5 and got my recommendation if you're on a tight budget.

Good place to stop by if you are in the area. They have breakfast deal which mostly the one on breakfast menu is less than 10 dlr and it comes with free milk tea and the porridge come with free chinese donut. When we arrived , the restaurantbis pretty full but we get seated right away. They have breakfast menu from8 to 11 am. They also have bbq stuff which looks yummy like chicken, pork and duck. They also have lamb dishes. We ordered porridge, braised beef noodle soup, bbq pork rice roll and chinese donut rice roll. The noodle and porridge are about $8 which hard to find the price anywhere else. The portion is also generous. The noddle is also yummy. The rice roll is unique as it is thicker than regular rice roll at other places. There is min of $25 if you want to pay with card. Overall is is good meal

The meat in their rice noodle rolls is sour and not fresh. I won't give any comments. The service attitude is also very bad. I will not come again. The health department should check this store as soon as possible. It should not exist.
It was already 4:40 pm when we went there. There seems to be a 10% discount after 4:30. I ordered a roast duck rice. The total price was 11.2. The amount of meat was sufficient and delicious. Highly recommended!

I ordered BBQ Pork chow fun and Chicken/Mushroom clay pot to go.
The clay pot was bland, with very little sauce; chicken parts were full of bones, gristle, rubbery skin, and joints. The bits of meat I was able to gnaw did prove quite flavorful and good, I just wish there had been a better meat-to-other ratio
The chow fun came completely covered in some kind of gravy, which was an unpleasant surprise. The gravy was pretty bland, and ruined the dish for me turning it all into a soupy gummy mess. I was expecting a dry-fried situation with wok-hei fired noodles. I ended up tossing most of it and am very sad.
Note: I'm seeing the kind of chow fun I was expecting in pictures of the beef chow fun, not sure why a different meat would make a difference in prep.

This claypot rice is really delicious. Fortunately, I didn’t miss it when I was catching the train in the morning. It tastes great!

It used to make wonderful clay pot rice and clay pot porridge. Ever since the pandemic, sad to find out big drop in quality. We odered our old favorite of frog leg rice and it came out fishy and stale.Service has never been good even for a long term frequent customer, and, even with the same crew as before, service got worse since the pandemic.Very sad. Really wished they improve again, even amid the terrible conditions of Oakland Chinatown these days.
Parking: It's more a problem with Oakland Chinatown than Best Taste. Parking on the streets are high risk. We have had glass broken twice even when we were diligent in keeping absolutely nothing in the car.
