Creek House Dim Sum Restaurant

Where do I start, giving them the bennifit of the doubt on the xlb since my order was delivery which can effect quality. The Hot and sour soup is rediculously watered down and lacking flavor.(especially for them to be serving it as an entree.)
The STEAMED chinese broccoli (w/ oyster sauce) is cooked with no garlic or any other seasoning, and served with such a small ammount of oyster sauce on the side that theres not even any point in sauteing it yourself unless you planned on cooking a whole dish after buying food at a restraunt...
Will not be eating at this restraunt again unless I forget their name which is unfortunately very likely.
I added a star for them just because I havent been there in person...

Which by the way, they should not be delivering to oakland because the order took long over an hour and was very expensive for a mediocre hangover breakfast at best.

Love this place soooo much! Me and my family come here from time to time and it’s really nice to have some home style food. The service is really good and the food is delicious.

The food here is okay, but I’m sorry to say this will be the last time we will be eating here.. The fact that someone had to chase us down after we left just because we didn’t leave any tip is insane! …. My sister, my mother and I went to have dinner and the customer service was terrible… nobody would check on us, we had to ask for water, boxes, no waiter would check up on us. We had to wait them down for us to ask for items.. At that the prices are already high as it is and portion are very small.

I was at Portuguese cooking class in Lisbon when I learnt of this place in my very own backyard from a fellow participant. She highly recommended it and now I highly recommend it… Food absolutely amazing, the best dim sum place I have been to in the Bay Area. Quantity and quality and price factor is biggest win… Warm and friendly staff. Do not expect a fine dining ambience, it’s a decent sized clean place.. I was so focused on food that I forgot to click pictures …😀

Over the years, we visited this restaurant quite regularly—about every other month. Since COVID, their prices have nearly doubled. We could easily spend over $100 for two adults and two kids (under three). I was shocked by the price we paid during our last visit a year ago, so we stopped going as often.

Today, I ordered food to go—just four items: shrimp har gow, sticky rice lotus leaf wrap, chicken feet, and siu mai. When I arrived, the restaurant was noticeably quieter compared to the past. I guess there’s a reason for that.

Unfortunately, my two kids had their first bites before I realized the sticky rice lotus leaf wrap was rancid. I called the restaurant to let them know one of the items I ordered was bad. On the other end, I heard two women speaking in Cantonese, saying, “What is she talking about?” Then they asked me to return the food. I couldn’t—I live 30 minutes away. One of the women then asked, “What do you want us to do?” I was so frustrated with their attitude. It felt like they thought I was trying to scam them over just ten bucks. I simply responded, “Please refund the bad item.” They said they would, but I haven’t checked my bank account yet.

I’m very disappointed with how they treated me as a customer. That woman didn’t even apologize and hung up the phone without a word. One thing they did right: shortly after, a man called back, spoke politely, and apologized.

Bottom line—I will never go back to that restaurant, and I won’t recommend it to anyone around me. The quality for the price is ridiculous.

Family owned restaurant as far as I know.The prices are cool and they treat you very nice.Old style.Chinese cooking

Dimsum was very good. The roast duck was a bit dry and salty. The opposite for the egg drop soup and Hongkong style chow mien. Both could use a little more salt and pepper.

We spent the night at the Walnut Creek Marriott, so we decided to walk here for dinner since it was a walkable distance (~0.3 miles). Service was good and food was delicious. The portion size is a little small for the price especially for a Chinese restaurant. They do charge you per person for hot tea (Jasmine), so if you are not a big tea drinker, you might want to pass. They have some specialty dim sum items they a wait staff might bring by to sell you. Today they mentioned they had lobster as well. The restaurant was nicely decorated and business was decent for a Saturday evening. They have a dim sum menu and a separate entrees menu. Overall, a good place for basic dim sum items and Chinese food. I just wish the portions were a little bigger for the entrees.

We ordered Peking duck but turned out to be regular duck. No bun. The dish didn't look like picture posted on the menu but they charged the Peking duck price. What a customer cheating!
