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!“

“very good fried noodles and claypot dishes“

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

“This is a must try no frills Cantonese dining spot in Chinatown.

The Peking duck was solid, if anything a little cold but the flavor was yummy. My favorite dish was the Char Siu, definitely not like the Char Siu we have back with our Canto folks in Tijuana, but it was nice to try the authentic one here!! The Chow Mein and Chinese Sausage Fried Rice were also shockingly amazing, they were perfectly balanced and paired really well with the chili oil they provide.

The servers were also extremely attentive and diligent; they welcomed us with warm cups of tea and didn’t have us waiting long at all. And as the cherry on top, as a group of 3 we ate well and took some leftovers all for only 60 bucks 🤣🤣. I absolutely loved everything about this place; the food, the vibes, the people, the price, but most importantly the quality of the experience.

10/10 from us, and even though this isn’t San Diego this place is 100% DAYGOEATS CERTIFIED✅📋“

“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.!✌️“

“Delicious and served with a smile. Great food“

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

“Awesome Food. Good prices.“

“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!“

“This was by far the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Every dish was so inventive and delicious! The snap peas w/tofu dressing was light and crunchy. We had a bottle of delicious sparkling tea that tasted like sparkles. The fried rice had corn and cheese and Chinese sausage and WOW was it awesome. Truly every bite was amazing. It was my birthday dinner and they made it so special, brought out an extra dessert and gave truly fabulous service.

The decor feels like a set design, it’s curated but not pretentious. It wasn’t too loud, it was super clean and it’s on a beautiful, picturesque street in SF.

Couldn’t recommend more!!“

“食物美味，环境优美，服务很棒，下次再来“

“Absolutely amazing experience. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was calm and cozy. I recommend the Peking duck and barbecue pork buns, and you can't go wrong with their tea selection either. For four people we were left satisfied with around 7 of their a la carte bun selections.“

“Great food, service, and location. Clean, bright, with large glass windows looking out on Columbus and Broadway. Exceptionally clean bathrooms, which is uncommon in this business, and so definitely got our appreciation! We made reservations, so there was no wait.“

“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 fresh dim sum and of course won tons. Always good to stock up on frozen won tons to take home too. We had lunch here at this place. We loved it. The soup had a rich broth. Service was nice. Ambiance was great. We had the won ton soup, pea sprouts, and some shrimp and chives dumplings. Definitely a place to go back to. Parking is available right next door at Portsmouth Square.“

“Great place for dim sum and good service“

“Get the cilantro shrimp dumplings - so good!
Shrimp dumpling (har gao) & pork shumai were good. Not the best I’ve had but still very good, good size, and tasty.
The chive shrimp dumpling was good but not my favorite. The skin was a little thicker than what I liked.
Shrimp rice noodle roll was decent - not as thin as i would have liked.
Cash only. They charge sales tax on top.
There’s only 1 table to sit for 2 people. Highly recommend to grab and go.“

“Great prices, the food you are looking for in Chinatown at a face paced take away only location. Plan for a line, it does move pretty quickly. Gives you time to figure out what you want to order before you get up to the counter. Parking is almost non existing so plan accordingly.“

“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!“

“Really impressed with this restaurant in Chinatown we went to today. It had freshly made great Chinese food. Great choices, great service. They even served tea with your meal. Good price. Small restaurant but that’s how they all looked there in Chinatown. I had the General Tsao and it was the best I have ever had. My husband had the hot and sour soup and loved it too. Would highly recommend if you visit Chinatown.“

“Miła obsługa i bardzo smacznie“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“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“

“I had a really nice dinner I had delivered to my address from this restaurant. The duck with cabbage and steamed rice 🍚 was finger licking good. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a place to have lunch or dinner at. I give them 5 stars“

“I think the broth could be a little richer, but overall, there was plenty of meat and it was very satisfying. I know this dish is supposed to be light, but I believe the broth could be simmered longer to develop a more flavorful aroma.

Another point is that the fried dough sticks were quite tasty but could easily become overwhelming; if I tried it again, I would try the shrimp rice rolls instead.

The restaurant is easy to find, cool, and clean.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“
