“Came here on MLK day for some dim sum and I was not disappointed. It took a while for everything to come out, but it was all warm and yummy so worth the wait. Some highlights were the egg tart, the siu mai, and lo mai gai. I'm a big fan of egg tarts and these are definitely top six. The texture of the crust was flaky in the best way, and the filling was perfectly cooked and silky. The location is a little hard to find parking but it's worth it!“
“My review of DT Dim Sum on 1970 Lewelling Blvd, San Leandro, CA 94579,Dined in at this cozy spot for its intimate atmosphere. The dim sum truly stood out – the Char Siu Bun, both big in size and wonderfully tasty. The steamed Siu Mai, shrimp dumplings, and egg tart were delightful, and the BBQ pork Chee Cheong Fun was a standout. Don’t miss out on their incredible soybean drink. The wonton noodle soup was exceptionally yummy too. The restaurant staff was very friendly, making the overall experience worth trying. Highly recommend!“
“Absolutely delicious food with really broad and diverse menu. Very attentive, courteous and quick service. This is really authentic, high quality Chinese food. Generous portions, too.Bring warm clothes, though - it was as cold as a refrigerator inside.Parking: Large and nearly empty parking lotWheelchair accessibility: Completely accessible“
“Food is good (except shrimp dumplings 蝦餃 which is just so so), service is great, and priced fairly.3 issues: (1) They may not have enough staff to handle good business. (Under new ownership, give it some time)(2) Parking is not easy if you come at noon.(3) It's a bit noisy because the tables are close to each other.I live nearby so I know parking is always a problem, just come earlier and try the good dim sum.“
“We were there, weekday after Christmas, for lunch around noon.The place was filled with people, but we got our table soon.Their service is a little pushy and rush. They walk around with food and ask you if we want them. I guess that's a kind of their traditional style of service. You have to firmly decline their offers if you don't want any of them, which are not foods you ordered.This place is my family friend's go-to place , so I believe their tastes are authentic.I wish they would do little nicer and friendly service.“
“So freaking delicious!!! I barely eat Chinese food but this HIT THE SPOT. Yo, EVERYTHING was savory and delicious. Service was great! Food came out pretty quickly. 10/10 recommend! The prices were amazing and definitely makes me want to come back.“
“A little hidden gem for dim sum. It's a mom and pop shop that serves freshly made dim sum. The prices are reasonable and variety of different types! They also have frozen dumplings.We ordered 4 things from the menu and the total was about $20. Since everything is made to order, there's usually a bit of a wait but worth it for delicious to go dim-sum. Small quite little place.“
“Best Chinese food this side of the island! Daniel has wonderful hospitality & excellent customer service.Now as far as the food?You pick, it's all amazing.My favorites: Hot & sour soup, black pepper spicy beef and the special seafood chow mein!Now there's lots more to try... I'm just starting with the great stuff.If you go on Sunday, be prepared to wait a bit but the service is awesome!GET IT TO GO! Call, order, pickup or have it delivered...It's always been hot and fresh!“
“This is a solid 4 star restaurant. Clay pot rice is freshly made to order, really tasty. The place can get busy and it may take a while to get a table during dinner time. Once you sit down, the service is reasonably quick and quite friendly. Excellent comfort food especially for cold winter days.“
“Favorites: fish dumplings, hot and sour soup, tomato and egg noodle, braided tofuCrowded so plan ahead if party bigger than 4, I’ve only been with 2-4 peopleVegetarian options: Decent amount of good options if you’re pescatarian or vegetarian“
“The food is excellent in quality and preparation. They have some vegan options although not always clearly marked. I had the fried Chinese broccoli with garlic sauce and tofu. It was delicious and filling. Very affordable too. The owners are very friendly and the restaurant is super clean.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options, some vegan options. Excellent food.“
“This place is so good. I've always loved dumplings, pot stickers, anything of that sort. The dumplings are amazing! Whether steamed or fried and believe you m, I get both. I go about 3 times a week. Sometimes I go home and make ramen and add the steamed onesandd it's perfectio! The owner is really nice too.Vegetarian options: Yummy steamed or fried dumplings“
“Realized I forgot to take photos of the food because I was enjoying every bite! It was my first time here and we had a large group of 16. Staff was friendly and accommodating for us. Food came out fast and each dish was told to us as it came out so we knew what we were eating. Portions were good I especially loved the green beans and the salt and pepper pork chop. I didn't even have to ask for more water as they came around multiple times throughout the dinner. For dessert they even brought out mango pudding which was a nice surprise. Would definitely come back to try dim sum.“
“Local Chinese food market vibe. Great service. And VERY delicious and affordable pastries. Strongly recommend. I loved the Taro pineapple bun and cant believe they sell 5 small pine apple buns for less than $4!!! We got 7 pastries for less than $10!“
“My FAVORITE dim sum/Chinese restaurant in Berkeley! Everything tastes authentic, the pork buns 生煎包 tastes just like the ones I could get in shanghai. The soup dumplings are also amazing- I love using the vinegar, spicy oil, and soy sauce as a combination to use for the dumplings. The walnut shrimps and chinese beef burrito is amazing too!! I wish i could eat at this place everyday and it honestly tastes very authentic ;)“
“Used to be old D&A Cafe. But the funny thing is that it is now under the ownership of the bbq/roast duck lady from a super market that my mom used to go to. The food here is good and the portions are big. We usually get the wontons only soup and then the 3 items as it comes with soup. Their braised fish with tofu is amazing. Highly recommend. Their fried spare ribs / sweet and sour spareribs and green beans with chicken is a good staple as well. The service is fast. That is all you need. Ambience is nice but again remain the same as old D&A cafe. They got newer bench and tables though.“
“Golden Bay Seafood Harbor (Guhm Hoy wahn in Cantonese) is a solid choice for those looking for a more upscale Chinese dining experience at a fairly reasonable price. This is a good restaurant.Part of a restaurant group, Golden Bay is located next to Marina Supermarket in Union City. We went there for dinner.For parties of 5 to 7 people, consider the "half portion" of the full set menu. I dont think it is advertised, you may have to ask.For about $250, you get a very nice seafood dinner, including ginger lobster, small abalone, steamed fish, prawns and scallops, seafood soup, and so on. Dinner included their cold appetizer plate and stir-fried beef with mushrooms. Even the fried rice had scallops in it. The only complaint was the steamed fish as it was quite fishy.Almost everything we had was well prepared, and portions were quite generous given what was being servedService was polite and low-key. They were not snobby or haughty, unlike at some other higher chinese restaurants.The atmosphere within the restaurant is relaxed. The space is large and quiet enough for conversation. It almost makes you want to linger, and that's how restaurants should beThere is plenty of parking and the parking spaces are wide.I recommend this restaurant. Consider going there with family or a small group of friendsParking: Spaces are wide“
“Ordered on DoorDash this week, first time customer and the food was delicious. I ordered honey walnut shrimp, good portion, flavor (not soggy, not too sweet), BBQ pork buns - tasty & crab wontons - crispy. Probably going to order again and try other dishes.“
“Their egg blossom soup is the best . I've only gotten soup here but the best I've had coast to coast hands down. So fresh, add veggies and extra green onions. You won't be disappointed, oh and the vibe is real hip and cool too.“

“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!“
“Went there for lunch. Very friendly people. I was the only "white person" there and had a "Western plate" rice with broccoli beef. It was delicious and an excellent value. I will eat there again.Parking: You park in basement of shopping complex.Wheelchair accessibility: Should not be a problem.“
“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.“
“My family and I finally got to try Dough Zone and so happy I did. We ordered two fried potstickers, wonton soup, beef noodle soup, onion pancakes and the cucumbers. Everything was hot and delicious! My kids ate everything which was awesome because they can be picky. We finished everything and they already asked to return on the car ride home. Highly recommend! Check them out and you will not be disappointed!“
