Cantonese Restaurants near Oakland, CA

“The incredibly kind staff at this restaurant, Mei and Lai, opened their restaurant for our 80-person high school auction last week. Not only was the food delicious and plentiful, but they were so generous, efficient, and incredibly easy to work with. This is a very special place and the food is SO good! 5 STARS!“

“The Dumplings are amazing!“

“Best local spot in Chinatown. The locals know that if you want the good stuff, you come here. Super fast, super good and honestly, I am devastated I don't eat this everyday. One of the best restaurants in Oakland (i'm for sure biased).“

“very good fried noodles and claypot dishes“

“My loves. Scrambled egg shrimp. Assorted meats over fried rice. Salt pepper wings. Swiss wings“

“An Awesome Casual dining place for an affordable heart full of great food especially its noodles and wanton soup..! Don’t miss this when here.. frankly abit underated to me it’s the best in the Bay Area.!✌️“

“Awesome Food. Good prices.“

“Amazing! food was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life! Atmosphere is amazing!“

“Delicious and served with a smile. Great food“

“We enjoyed our lunch here!

The food was delicious and had options for pescatarians like me and those who eat everything like my friends.

They were also cautious of the peanut and shellfish allergies at the table.

I would go back for more crispy noodles and veggie dumplings, but the green beans with tofu was my favorite!“

“We had such an outstanding meal - a lot of that was thanks to the great recommendations by our server. The vibe of the restaurant was very cute. My husband and I shared the Mongolian beef, popcorn chicken, shishito peppers, cabbage, green beans, and clay pot rice. It was all excellent and so flavourful. We can't wait to revisit and try more!“

“食物美味，环境优美，服务很棒，下次再来“

“What a really delightful find- at par with Hong Kong.

Was just walking by and decided to give this place a shot. soo worth it.

Seriously, this is the best wonton noodle soup i have had outside of hong kong.

Even the hot sauce was incredibly traditional, fiery enough to demand your respect, and ready to punish you if not taken seriously. The soup was fragrant, you could taste the freshness of the stock. the dumplings were fresh with firm prawsn in them.
the beef was cooked tender with just enough bite to make things exciting. the noodles were incredibly firm to the bite. omg i want to go back.

definitely worth coming in and trying!“

“Good portions and a clean interior. It was pretty empty around 5:30 but started filling up by 6:30. Hospitality could use some work. No one greeted us when we walked in, so we waited about 5 minutes to be seated despite it being fairly empty. Once the food arrived, we were seated in a corner and had trouble flagging down a server for the check. The staff should be more attentive and check in more regularly but food was good“

“Super yummy dim sum, no complaints about the taste. The price was on the higher side. Ambience is really nice, they have these green booths that give an elegant feel to the place. My party of 3 had to wait about 15-20 min for a spot during lunch.“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“早餐very good👍✌， we are going very time.“

“Great place for dim sum and good service“

“Takeout only, long line but moved quickly. We went close to when it closed so the options were understandably limited but everything we had was so tasty and so affordable. I was also pleasantly surprised they accepted card with no fees. Would love to come back for lunch maybe and try some of their other dishes!“

“In a recent visit to Chinatown, I was hoping to find an epic meal. There are so many options that it's hard to pick one. Using Google reviews I found this one and rolled the dice.

Every dish they brought out was exceptional. It's a small place so it took a minute, but well worth it the short wait. The server was awesome.

The wonton soup stole the show although the chicken wings were unbelievable. Spring rolls...wow. Plum sauce was house made and after the rolls were gone, we starting dipping the wings in it.

Well recommended.“

“Overall review is that this place is good, but nothing phenomenal. Shanghai dumplings were decent, the shrimp and chive were incredible, and the pork buns were decent. Overall prices are pretty solid, but nothing mind blowing. Worth a stop but don't expect to be blown away.“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“Amazing 100 year ambiance with curtained booths for the prohibition era and trap doors in the floor. The food is amazing and always served with a smile and great taste!“

“Miła obsługa i bardzo smacznie“

“My personal favorite dish is their House special pan fried noodles. The portion of this was insane, this itself can feed 4 people. Love the vegetables, squid, shrimp,…. on top of the noodles. The toppings are cooked with this slightly thick sauce which drenches the fried noodle making it some parts of it crunchy and some of it soft/soggy. I grew up eating this dish and so I’m almost always ordering this dish.

My second favorite dish is their honey walnut shrimp. This is always a hit at every family dinner I have and so I just had to order it. Their shrimp had a bite to it and a bouncy texture. It was cooked perfectly.

Everything we ordered:
- $20.95 Honey Walnut Shrimps
- $25.95 Beef cubes and scallop with teriyaki sauce
- $24.95 Pickled dried vegetables/Braised pork belly with sweet potato leaves
- $20.95 House special pan fried noodles
- $19.95 Salt and pepper pork chops
- $9.95 Marinated tofu“

“Very good food“

“Really wanted to gatekeep this one but it’s too good not to write a review. Everything about it was exactly what I was looking for. Barely any english, only canto, stern auntie serving you up, cash only, and hefty portions. Got the roasted pork for just $10 and it came with a ton of rice and some cooked cabbage. Pork was so tender and flavorful while the skin added the perfect crunch and fattiness. Cheers to my go to Chinatown.“

“A popular local spot in Chinatown. This place is always packed, you will have to share tables with other people, and almost everyone here speak Chinese, so I think this place is authentic enough. The menu is very very affordable, each noodle soup item costs less than $10, and the most expensive shareable side order only costs $20. This is a steal in San Francisco.
We tried almost every signature dish, like beef brisket, curry fish balls, wonton and steamed pork & liver. Food portion were huge, you have to come here hungry.
My most favorite? Probably wonton and beef brisket. I think it's best to order wonton noodle soup (to get the light & sweet broth) and brisket dry noodles, because beef brisket itself is a bit fat and greasy, so you need something light to pair with it.
Overall, 9/10. Just remember to bring some cash with you when dining here.“

“A good DoorDash oriented restaurant with decent congee. Generous portion.
Every tableware here is disposal and very cheap. The dingsun are premade and prefrozened.
No wait time typically.
Good place for a smoothing and light cuisine.“

“Best bbq pork, roasted duck, and beef stew in the city. The tea eggs are also super good and savory that we can't get enough of. The staff are super kind, energetic and provide excellent services. My favorite place to come back to everytime i visit the city“

“A relax old school dim sum place to enjoy sumptuous good dim sum. A favourite place for the senior regular. They even helped themself to refill the tea. A friendly place if u are familiar with old sch dim sum culture.
Food was big in portion and best of all, they don't charge tax which is very very rare in US.
Service was good by the old lady even though they are busy.
This will be my regular dim sum store whenever I visit San Francisco.“

“Every time we plan to go to San Francisco for a trip, my dad gets so excited about having a meal at this place because of some really good Chinese food in San Francisco. This is my dad’s cherry on top place in the city.“

“Great Eastern is my absolute favorite place for dim sum. I love how everything comes out whenever it's ready and it's piping hot fresh. Everything is super tasty. And its very reasonably priced.

The downsides are just that if you go when they are super busy, the wait can be 30-60 minutes, you have to ask them for water , and it's very hard to get anyone's attention to refill your water class. This might sound ridiculous, but I often just bring a water bottle with me so I don't have to flag them down.

But the food is worth it!!!!!“

“Absolutely fell in LOVE with this place and this will be my go to place for dim sum in SF from now on. I discovered this gem when the line at good mong kok bakery was too long. There seemed to be plenty of locals in the restaurant so I decided to give it a shot. I spent around $40 got plenty of dim sum for the family to go around. The dim sum was hot, plump, and filled with meat!

We tried new moon last time, and was extremely disappointed because it was cold!! Plus, the have seating in the back. We will be coming back here. Bring cash!“
