I preface this by saying my family has gone to Peony Seafood Restaurant for a lot of years. My wife and I had a smaller wedding banquet there, and I've been there for several banquet and large events, as well as for dim sum lunches.Currently this is one of the only big restaurants left in Oakland Chinatown, it's in the second floor of the Pacific Renaissance Plaza where there's parking below.Bottom line the dim sum and dinner menu is pretty tasty and authentic. Dim Sum time can be pretty busy, they do have a backroom/VIP room with a slightly upgraded experience with a slightly higher tea price (it's likely to get seated quicker there).Their dinner menu is pretty solid as well.

It's a wait. Especially on Sunday. But soooo worth it!!! Everything is freshly prepared, and there is no waiting for a tray of food to pass you by. Everything is convenient and chosen via cell phone. Order and minute's later, your delightful dishes are on their way.Kid-friendliness: Family friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Elevator.

The food was amazing and reasonably priced. Unfortunately if you have peanut allergies like me eating is a dice roll. The food I ordered contained peanuts even though I specifically asked if those items I ordered had any. I got really sick for days after. Other than that the experience was great.

A little pricey compared to equivalent or even slightly better options. One thing I really didn’t understand is they give you tiny dishes of sauce, and not just specialty sauces but even basics like soy sauce and chili sauce are served in tiny saucers, we went with another couple and they must have had to ask for 5 or 6 servings throughout the meal. Just give us a jar or a Sammy bowl or something! Same with water, I get it if you are busy and can’t make the rounds, then leave a pitcher! I understand prices have gone up for everyone but if you are going to charge a premium price you can’t also have a sub-par experience.Parking: Parking was $13 on top of the meal, no validation. Not a great option.
