At the very beginning: this place is takeout only. Very kind and friendly staff, and at-home atmosphere. Good portion and taste of food. Would recommend roasted duck and chicken, both of which come with homemade sauces, especially the roasted duck sauce with nice meat fragrance. The roasted port is pretty good too. It’s just my personal preference of poultry. The ingredients have good quality without too much fat, so you wouldn’t feel greasy when eating, which is the main reason I prefer here to Ranch 99 diary. And the price tends to be cheaper when you choose the whole duck/chicken, in which case you get a full box of treasure! I have had enjoyable meals since the first time. Would definitely come back and try other dishes
Definitely will be back again. Price may be a little bit high normally we go to Chinatown in Oakland usually we get a little bit more for the same amount that I pay very busy here that's good you see a lot of Asian people here coming in that means the food is really good. I understand what they speak. Been in the restaurant business 50 years. Cantonese style. But since Oakland Chinatown going down bad from all the crime no one wants to go there now, Oakland is getting really ruin down city mayor and our governor is destroying it, people leaving the area!
Fantastic spot for some fresh dim sum! Their portion sizes are huge especially when considering how low their prices are. The aunties at the counter are very friendly and service is quite fast since the dim sum is ready to go from the steaming pots.
Delicious dim sum for to-go only. As an old customer, I really hope they could raise the price. You feel like it’s year 2017 here. I recommend any steam cooked dim sum, two BBQ bento box ( upgrade to Fried rice noodles, trust me, worth it). And yes, they accept credit cards!
Some of the best “mom and pop” dim sum and Chinese bbq I’ve had in the bay. Everything came in gigantic portions and was amazing. The value was there. We were able to spread out a single meal of about $30 into 3-4 different meals. What we ordered: - roast pork and duck bbq with fried rice - (2) shumai - (1) crazy shrimp (baseball sized shrimp balls) - (1) shrimp rice roll.
Food/Taste/Flavor: 3/5 - Daily special with fried rice, BBQ pork, broccoli beef, and kung pao chicken. The fried rice was simple but good. The BBQ pork that was freshly cut was pretty dry and the sauce added seemed to soak into the rice itself rather than stay with the protein. The broccoli beef was nicely cooked with the broccoli being tender and the beef with a slight bite still. The kung pao chicken was EXTREMELY salty Shu mai was decent. While it's only 3 pieces, they are pretty big pieces Ambience: 2/5 - there was water dripping in the middle of the store with a bucket to catch with dirty footprints everywhere. Definitely older store and it feels like it could use a deep clean Service: 5/5 - lady was really nice and friendly. The pricing was a bit confusing since there's extra charges for certain meats and slightly different prices based on which menu you look at Value for price: 4/5 - decent price even with the extra charge for BBQ pork. We did go closer to the end of the day so it does seem some of the items have been sitting there longer which may have affected the taste/texture of some of the items
