My parents and I have been coming to this location for dimsum for many many years. It's conveniently located near the 580 highway. I definitely recommend making reservations for weekends as they get pretty busy. Like may dimsum places, it can get loud but that's the charm! The food is always good, delicious and more affordable compared to other dimsum options in the Bay Area. Would recommend coming here!
Whenever you want a cheap tasty fast DIMSUM treat, come here. It's always delicious and they have the biggest variety of DIMSUM. We came on a Sunday and was seated right away as they have two large rooms. The service is fast and no frills. The DIMSUM taste fresh and is fried perfectly.
Good service, good food. One hidden gem in Oakland I would say. Will definitely come back again soon.
Love dim sum! Im gonna go off of what I usually call the foods Har gow: was delicious Fun guo: not a fan of it, but normally am not a fan of fun guos in general Bbq pork bun: i didnt try Shrimp churn fun: I love churn funs in general, restaurants always have that delicious soy sauce to go with it too. This isnt the best Ive had but cant complain when I get churn fun Pork rib churn fun: not a fan, Im a hater of any churn fun that isnt shrimp. It looks high quality, juicy. Why are there bones, how do you eat this. Bbq pork churn fun: not a fan either obviously but better than the one with bones. The pork flavor is too overpowering Steamed beef ball: love it, cant give a good review cause dont remember much about it Chicken feet: didnt try it. If ur new to this dish. Personally I dont like all the bones but it does taste really good. But the bones are a deal breaker for me. Eating around so many bones Beef flank churn fun claypot: looks pretty, more expensive too. But cant get over the chewiness. The beef gets stuck in your teeth too. Didnt try the rice rolls inside Egg custard bun: didnt try. Pan fried chives dumpling: didnt try Honey walnut prawns: winner, never had a problem with this dish. Always tasty and delicious. Extra Super cheap place for dim sum Tbh the only review u should listen from me is the churn fun. Cause I care about that the most 5/5 cheap dim sum place
Long overdue review We have been coming to this restaurant for decades when Mike still owned the business. We have had a number of big gatherings here where we have utilized their banquet room. Recently, I have made a reservation for their banquet room (12 - 3 pm) for Jan. 30 for 8 tables = 80 people. We celebrated my brother's life. Karen (manager) worked with us creating a menu within our budget per table (10 guests per). We had chicken corn soup, a whole roasted duck, combo bbq pork & roasted pork belly, whole steamed fish, beef w/ broccoli, pan fried combo noodles, sweet & sour pork, mixed veggies w/ garlic sauce & steamed rice. The presentation of each menu was great and tasted wonderfully, as usual. Food was served by 12:15 pm. AND, they were hustling . I apologize for not having any pics. Absolutely, no one took any . Everyone got busy wolfing down the food . I would just like to THANK KAREN & STAFF for making this event a lot less stressful & a wonderful event for our family.
