The name is deceiving, I trust maybe 5 years ago. It's like ghost town, #pause If you know you know. I was so disappointed, I haven't been in the area shopping for years. It's sad to see some of my favorite asian markets closed. All the displays were empty,?Evidently neighborhood is keeping them open maybe. I wish them the best. Call #GordonRamsey

Love the aunties. Love the uncles. Great egg tarts. Great coconut bars. Speedy and efficient service politely. I don’t leave reviews. But this is a neighborhood staple. 😌

Love it here. The egg custard bun is TO DIE FOR. It's big and filled to the brim with custard, it's the best bang for your buck. Not only that but the siu mai, ha khaw, and the turnip cakes are a little bigger than what I get normally so it's a great deal. Staff is friendly, I'm a English speaker so it's fairly easy to order. They do except cash or Zelle and those payment types a simple to execute. 10/10 recommend 🤌🏽

I came here to show my support for locally owned family businesses. Businesses in this plaza keeps getting broken into. The food here is OK. I got the lotus leave chicken, a small porridge and a Chinese donut for $12. It was past 1pm and some of the stuff were no longer available. The cashier had to scrape the bottom of the pot to fill up 80% of a small container of porridge. Regardless, I hope they do well and stay in Oakland.
Sesame Balls are soooooo delicious!! The food and pastries here are always fresh, made on the spot! Most of us don't carry cash these days, so the ability to pay via Zelle is fantastic..

Super duper tasty, oh so magically yummy dim sum for very good prices. Food is always fresh and buns are always warm. Large portions too! The ladies behind the counter don’t always understand English but we make it work and we’re always happy to see each other. They accept Venmo now if you don’t have cash on hand.

This place is 3 blocks away from me. I get my morning din sum and lunch here. It's a little dusty, but the food always fresh.

Perhaps prices have gone up, but very expensive for a hole in the wall and the area. Better dim sum can be found nearby.
Didn't get several things I ordered. One thing I did get was the wrong item. Then it rang up to $43? For not much food. Disappointed.
This place was ok you need cash and they didn't have an ATM so make sure you have cash and the food was ok .
Amazing Dim Sum to go. Inexpensive and tasty. The potstickers are huge and meaty. There may be a line but service is quick and worth the wait.
