Shanghainese Restaurants near Oakland, CA

“I'm aware it's a ghost kitchen. I wanted some late Sichuan food, but Chengdu Style was closed so I was willing to settle with food delivered from a ghost kitchen and expect there's going to be at least 10+ minutes more than the original estimate delivery.Anyways, the food. I got the black fungus with chili sauce, boiling beef with house spicy broth, and shrimp fried rice. The shrimp fried rice seemed as if the rice was thrown into a bowl, drenched with soy sauce, and called it a day. It was tasty, so I will likely order again. The black fungus mushrooms smelled slightly rancid, and eating a bite tasted like they used all vinegar in the chili sauce.... I'm not sure if there was any chili sauceThe boiling beef with house spicy broth was exactly what I was looking for, with the perfect amount of numbing oil and sichuan peppercorn. Aside from the random cuts of cucumber, I actually really enjoyed this dish.So while I don't know if I would order from "them" in the day time when places like Chengdu Style or Mama Ji's are open, this would definitely be a good late night delivery spot for me.Edit: I feel like I understated the shrimp fried rice. It's really good.“

“great dishes. They tasted authentic Shanghai cuisines to me. The only issue was that the restaurant was highly understaffed for some reason. I could see the lady just rushing all through to get bills, place orders, and even get take-out boxes for us. Watching her at work was like watching a highly skilled “overcook” gameplay.“

“My favorite local dumpling spot. Whenever I get the craving this is where I go. The people are always super nice as well, never had a bad experience.

Parking: Depending on when you go it's right off of telegraph so parking can get almost impossible, I usually order ahead to make it easier“

“Decent Xiao Long Bao in San Leandro. There are many different dumpling varieties to choose from including Sheng Jian Bao and traditional entrees as well. Service is ok. About what you’d expect. Fast and impersonal. Parking isn’t too bad on the part of East 14th.“

“Excited to experience dim sum at night! That's the best part about this place. Dim sum anytime. This is one of their newest location. We're so glad we came here. Parking was insane but we got lucky and parked by a nearby lot. We even met the owner Michael. What a nice man! Two of my friends have tried their SF location so they already knew what to order. Lucky me! Everything was mouth watering delicious. The wait outside was not long at all and we came early by 6 pm. There's 2 levels of seatings and I highly suggest to ask for the upper floor seating. Much cooler up there on a warm day/night. The servers were so nice. I definitely remember William. Checked on us often and made sure we enjoyed our meal. We had 7 dim sum selections and there was plenty for the 3 of us. We even had a mini to go box at the end. The price is $$. I can't wait to go back here again.“
