Dim Sum Restaurants near San Leandro, CA

“I've been going here for a number of years. Even before the pandemic. The food has been consistently good, with the exception of the height of the pandemic.

On other platforms, this place isn't rated high however this place for dim sum is always packed. This says wonders about the other sites.

Today's visit for dim sum was just like the other times. Place was packed and there was a wait of 20 mins. The service was okay and the food was good. Parking wasn't an issue as there were plenty.

This is a go-to spot for dim sum for sure.“

“Old school dim sum. Good prices. First time here, but have eaten dim sum for a long time. Items ordered: Gai lan, BBQ pork buns baked, pan fried shrimp and chive dumplings, rice roll filled with BBQ pork, Shanghai dumplings. Tasty food. An option we chose was a tea service at the table (<$6), worth it. I saw some remarkable dishes that I will be returning to taste.

It was packed with people and even more in another dining room (mostly Asian people, although there were some Latin, Black and White people as well).

This place is family run and demonstrates that they want to be above your average hole in the wall dim sum house for the inside: fancy curtains, nice chairs, and stage for entertainment, the outside needs some TLC. Good alternative if you don’t want to deal with Chinatown congestion.“

“It’s been ages since we’ve been here when it was King Kong. It isn’t as buzzing as before and in fact they’re much quieter.But that’s perfect for us, came in for a late lunch on a Saturday and there were only a couple other tables. So we got seated and served right away! Can’t find that at most good dim sum joints.Got the e-noodles with seafood in XO sauce as the main dish, and some dim sum dishes like the shrimp dumplings, durian puff, bean curd wrap etc. All came out quickly and were very good!Parking is tricky as there’s only the front lot on this stretch of the street. So at peak hours you might have to park a couple blocks away or in the nearby neighborhood. Still a good option and we’ll come back soon!“

“I think I been there before and I actually stop by this month. The location is somewhat interesting ( away from freeway and next to residential / business area). The area plenty of parking and it is next to a supermarket.

Just a side note that they do take one hour lunch break I think it’s from 2-3 pm something like that. The time I went was after their lunch break and there are too many things to choose from. The order was quick and waiting for the food order take a bit time.

Overall the food is good and portion is decent. I don’t live near there so for me it’s just trying once in a while when I will be around that area.“

“As someone who just moved to the neighborhood and is currently 9 months pregnant, I was craving some good Dim Sum. Decided to take a chance on Uber/Postmates delivery. I was blown away and pleasantly surprised. Food can warm and toasty and the food is AMAZING! Will definitely come back in person to try more options. This is the best Dim Sum thus far and will be my newest pregnancy craving moving forward. The dumplings are SO GOOD! Presentation, Quality, flavor etc. with soy sauce and chili oil - Chefs kiss 💋 I would have provided a picture for my review but I inhaled it before I could start this review 😅“

“Thank you for an amazing birthday dinner! Everything was amazing and very reasonably priced. Customer service was amazing!! Thanks for the Bday Custard. Very possibly the best shrimp dumplings I’ve ever had.....egg rolls were delicious also“

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

“If you like the predecessor of 8th St Cafe, called D&A cafe at the corner of Webster st cross 7th st 20 years ago, you would love this Hay Yue restaurant.I came for dinner today. The dishes are $20-$25 each, not too bad considering minimum wage is $16 an hour. If you want to enter value mode, you can get $39.99 for 3 dishes in smaller portions.The bamboo lamb brisket in clay pot is as delicious as you would expect. The one in my photo is a small portion version. A lot of lamb, very generous.Scrambled egg with prawns is a Hong Kong classic dish and this restaurant cooked it very well. The eggs are creamy as it should be. You can compare it with scrambled egg with bitter melons, which is another style that cooked the eggs a bit more. I like the creamy one more. This restaurant cooked these two dishes in two different styles that they should be, very good job here.If you like spicy food, you can give sichuan stir-fried chicken a try. It is surprisingly spicy enough to taste good.They have some customizations for clay pot rice which are not shown in the menu. For example, we can order a larger size of chicken pot rice with added preserved meat. I am not fond of pot rice in general, but they are very popular in this restaurant. People started ordering them at around 10:30 am!You will not be disappointed with the milk tea with condensed milk as well.Hay Yue restaurant is definitely a strong character in chinatown that you should put it on top of your taste menu, especially now other good ones were folded or gone.“

“The Dumplings are amazing!“

“The soup dumplings were soooo good. I did carryout twice and both times they put in a little dessert. If I lived in the area I would pre-order and then stop by to pick up. The other food I tried was also good. But the soup dumplings were everything. Num num num.“

“Great food and good service“

“Perfect place to grab satiating lunch and dinner when on-the-go AND on-a-budget. Discovered this place on a trip and have been coming back ever since. Communication can be quite tricky but you can also point out what you want and they’re very generous with their portions. The food is really good from the fried chicken/pork to the rice, noodles, vegetable stir fry, shrimp, etc. The lines can be long during lunch rush but they work to get you in & out as quickly as possible“

“Good food, good service, reasonable prices“

“The food was great, the service was excellent, I was very satisfied“

“Good duck and noodle soup!“

“This is the best place for steamed bun in Oakland Chinatown! My family and I have been going here for many years and we have always enjoyed their pork buns, "big" buns (contains egg, chicken, seasoned pork, and Chinese sausage), cabbage & pork buns, and custard buns. For us, their steamed bread products are really what shine here, the bread is fluffy & soft without being too sweet or dry and the fillings are well-seasoned, fresh, and plentiful. Yummy Dim Sum was closed for a while for remodeling and our family had to try other places in Chinatown for steamed buns and all the others were not even close to the quality of this place. After remodeling, their prices were raised a bit (around $1 to $1.50 per item), but their prices are still very affordable and honestly, I don't think any small shops in the Bay Area can survive charging any less than they do at the moment. Furthermore, the shopkeepers are very nice and patient when we go there, which is always a nice plus for to-go shops such as this. Given they are one of the last good steamed bun places left in Oakland, my family & I are more than happy to support them when we can and would highly recommend you give them a try as well!“

“Excellent food and service. Very nice and the food was delicious, savory, and properly spicy. The vegetarian options are also really nice and very flavorful. There’s something for everyone here!
The food is very authentic, so don’t order anything spicy if you can’t handle a lot of spice!

Vegetarian options: Cold sesame noodle, tomato egg noodles, veggie chow mien, and numerous veggie appetizers and a vegetarian section for regular dishes with tofu and veggies.“

“3/4/2024 1 pm:Price is perfect and quality is even more perfect.You will not believe how fresh all of the food is, for the price you are paying. I bought 2 dumplings, 4 buns, 2 spring rolls, and 2 entree plates packed with food for $40. If you They have a HUGE variety of specialty dumplings and dim sum. When we were finished with our lunch, we went back to buy more for later. Again I cannot stress the quality of ALL of it.5/5 food with great service too.I’ll be coming back frequently when I’m in the area.P.S the sauce for the steamed pork and Napa cabbage dumpling was phenomenal.“

“It’s my first visit here. I loved the rice casserole and the fried pork ribs. The rice casserole was very authentic and delicious, just like the best ones I had in China.

The place was clean and the service was great. The manager answered my questions and when she saw there’s oil on my hands, she got me a paper napkin before I asked. I was very grateful!“

“Excellent Cantonese style dishes that are prepared quickly. The salt & pepper pork chops were especially good. Eggplant was a little too oily and seafood in XO sauce was rather mild (menu said "spicy"). If they could pay more attention to service, this place would be 5 stars.“

“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.“

“I really like the food and service from here. I usually get the chicken fried rice, which is consistently good. The packaging is reusable which is amazing, and they are always super nice when i come in, letting me know how long until my food is ready (i order online) which is usually earlier than what is said online. The hot sauce is absolutely delicious also!!“

“One of my favorite places in Oakland to grab some dim sum to go. It's usually a busy place, but the lines move nicely. There's 2 lines in there so make sure to line up in the right area. One line is to buy the roasted meats hanging in the front window of the store and the other line is for dim sum. There's one long table with a few chairs along the wall if you would like to rest a bit and chow down on what you just purchased.

We always try to order the siu mai,chicken feet,tofu skin roll,baked char siu bao,and a few of the fried dumplings when we go. All of those are so flavorful and tasty. You don't need any sauces to go with any of those since they themselves are so delicious already,they're not too salty nor too oily or fatty. The baked char siu baos are a thing of beauty here. If you don't grab any dim sum then please grab yourselves the baos. The filling is plenty and the ratio of bun to meat is pretty good if you compare it to other places.

I don't really care for the roasted meats myself(the roasted duck,soy sauce chicken,roast pork,etc) because I find them not as good as the other places. I don't necessarily like their seasoning and flavor. Stick with their dim sum and you should be good but of course this is just my opinion and maybe you would like their roasted offerings.

The workers there are always helpful and friendly. There's usually 2 or 3 people to serve each line.“

“Delicious donuts and hopia at a reasonable price😋“

“nice variety of food which was amazing. definitely going back“

“Golden Bay Seafood is an absolute gem for authentic Chinese cuisine, especially seafood! The dishes are incredibly fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. Their dim sum is also a must-try – absolutely delicious and a great variety. The dining experience is wonderful, perfect for family gatherings or a special meal. Highly recommend for top-notch Chinese food!“
