The customer service was very poor. The guy behind the bar never acknowledged me so I proceeded to go over and ask the waitress about my order and she very rudely said none of the orders are ready and waved her hand like she wanted me to get away from her. It's not a very timely place either because I waited at least 20 minutes before I went in to pick it up. read more

We came here on my brother and his friends' recommendation. This is a spacious restaurant with modern decor. The tables are set with black tablecloths that are changed after each seating so it really ups the ambiance level. It was only 2 of us so we couldn't order as many dishes as we would have wanted. We had the green onion pancake which was good. Both the Ying Yang Dumplings (with pork, shrimp & chives) and Dragon Dumplings (with shrimp, scallops & spinach) were excellent. The dumpling wrappers are house made, and the sauces complemented each dish nicely. We also loved the Szechuan Pork Noodles which was recommended by the owner, Shirley. Next time, we'll try her other recommendations as well; Garlic Noodles and the Dry Braised Eggplant. The service was attentive. They have only been open since January and with their reasonable prices, nice ambiance, good food and attentive service, I could see them becoming a favorite neighborhood go-to. read more

Love love LOVE their garlic noodles!! Ugghhhhh can never go wrong here. The atmosphere is simple and cute, the food is delish and the price works well with the portions food you receive. read more

Loved this place, wife and I have been here twice now, ordered the same things the second time because we loved them so much the first time. We love the Honey Garlic Wings, the Dragon Dumplings, and the Basil Garlic Potato Bites. We'll have to try something else next time. The Owner and staff are very friendly! Highly recommended! read more

To-go order - Great dumplings. Great veggie fried rice. Great green beans.

The delivery was FAST and the food was fresh and delicious. The portions are very generous!

We stopped in on a whim and we're so happy to discover a great new dumpling place in our neighborhood. We'll return with our boys for Sunday brunch! read more

Hunting for dumplings at 9PM on Tuesday night proved more of a challenge than I initially thought. Qi didn't disappoint. The firecracker dumplings were the highlight. The potstickers were on point, a very close second... The green Dragon needs something more, and kind of difficult to manage compared to its counterparts. I loved the varying soy sauce option. I would like more control over the sauces. Overall a very strong contender!....oh yeah and the special fried rice needs to be on the menu always! read more

Holy shit, wouldn't know it by the decor but this place should be Michelin rated. yummmmmm

Very good food and the owner is a great person. I recommend anything with roasted peppers. You can ask to customize the spice level.

Love, love, looove their dumplings. Everything I have tried has been great. Different, original but comforting. Very friendly staff and great service. Family friendly. They do a great job. I only wish they sold their T-shirts! read more

We ordered the green dumplings, pot stickers, and garlic noodles. Was nice to have a vegetarian dumpling that wasn't exclusively cabbage and flavorful on its own. The potstickers were crispy and moist, and now I'm looking forward to ordering their vegetarian pot stickers next time I'm here. The garlic noodles were great, loved the green beans and cucumbers that were added. Prices were good, both of us left full and happy. read more

Good service very good quality food great flavor,me and my family went for my wife's birthday and definitely we're coming back the soup and the garlic noodles also the desert we're great read more

I love Spanish food so when this place said they had "Asian Tapas", I was totally skeptical. I think they are using Tapas as a synonym for finger-food, small plate or appetizer. Whatever they meant, I love it! Its great for garlic noodles if you dont want to go all the way to Rockin' on the other side of the lake. Their dumplings and won tons are packed with the flavors I love. Depending on what you ordered you can get full garlic, spicy jalapeño or a tangy dipping sauce for your "tapas". We've been here a few times now and we will keep coming back. read more

Went here on that recent crazy windy day. My mom wanted to try the dumplings and saw sizzling rice soup on the specials menu, so the decision was made. They had the front door open when we went in, despite it being cold outside. The few people in there were all wearing winter coats. I asked the guy if he could close the front door, which he did. My mom then said she smelled strong odor of cigarettes coming from back of restaurant. I didn't notice, and I usually smell cigarettes a block away. Anyway, we both got the sizzling rice soup. It was spot on what I needed on that cold, windy night. Salty, but very good. The shrimp bits, though not many, were perfectly cooked- tender and tasty. It was tasty, filling satisfying. They also provided my mom her requested double portion of sizzling rice. We also got an order of the dumplings that had shrimp, scallop and spinach with a soy/sesame sauce instead of the jalapeno one advertised. They were smallish and thin, but seemed very fresh. The seafood flavor was very fresh and strong, but for some reason I was not that impressed. I don't eat much wheat because it doesn't agree with me, but I'll eat it if it's really good and worth the after effects. These dumplings weren't worth the after effects. Though not all that impressed with the dumplings, I will go back for more of that sizzling rice soup and good service. The prices were reasonable, too. read more

Pretty great service as they accommodated my garlic allergy (the dumplings and sauce). The dumplings were a fresh and healthy new take compared to the traditional Chinatown dim sum dumplings. The dumpling skin tasted super fresh! They are pricier than your average canto style dim-summing sui mais. read more

We love this place! Fresh ingredients. Great service. Original flavors. Best Chinese in the neighborhood. Our go to...

The szechuan noodles were great - peppery, saucy, over chewy noodles. The Ying Yang dumplings were just okay. I should put out the disclaimer that I prefer thick dumpling skins, so I was not as excited for the thin skins. Pork/chive filling is usually my favorite, but now I know I much prefer Shan Dong in Chinatown. read more

Simply scrumptious. My husband and I ate here before seeing a movie at the Grand Lake Theater. Obviously handmade, generous portions, and incredibly tasty. read more

I'm in love with these dumplings. We also ordered the garlic noodles and curry orzo, Both Bomb! Lots of vegan and vegetarian options. This is our new spot for Chinese food. read more

Very good. Dumplings are made to order. Very fresh. Boss Fried Rice is the bomb, pork dumplings and salt and pepper chicken.

Just had lunch here for the first time; definitely shouldn't be the last. Dumplings, garlic noodles, good! Basil potato bites - addictive. Portions are big so even with those three things for two people, we took a lot home for another meal. Lots of flexibility in the dishes; can easily be tweaked for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans; also adaptable for mild to hot food lovers. Will definitely bring others here. read more

Tried this place last night and was very happy. Spicy noodles were amazing. Think Shan Don't but better. And the dumplings super good. Great New addition to the neighborhood. read more

Simple, quick and tasty - just what we wanted after a long day at work and before catching a movie closeby at Grand Lake Theater. Thank you for the great service and recommendations! read more

Loved all dishes that we ordered - Shichuan Noodle, Eggplant with Minced pork, Dragon dumpling. Thumbs up on service as well.

This is a great place to go for a snack after a movie! The dumplings are amazing and the garlic noodles are scrumptious. The staff is engaging and friendly. Came in 5 minutes before closing and received great service! read more

Love this place! Right in our backyard dumpling heaven exits! And they do more than dumplings. We had the pork belly sliders as a recommendation. First she had me at pork belly. But then ... they were so much more! Soy glaze deliciousness wrapped in a fold-over steamed bun, YUM! I highly recommend this place. read more

It was a really cute, trendy place for when you're craving dumplings! Good amount of dumplings on ze plate. My favorite was the firecracker wontons. Amazing! Will come here again read more

Qi Dumpling Lounge - Chinese Near Me - Oakland, California

Love this joint. Reasonably priced, great addition to the neighborhood. Very comfortable and great food. "Chinese Tapas". We will be back. read more

From Hawaii and saw this place while driving around Oakland. Walked into a very clean restaurant. The staff greeted us right away and were very friendly. We looked over the menu and waiter helped with the order, even suggesting to share things like the rice since the portions were generous. We ordered the green dumplings and crab rangoon to share and I ordered shrimp made coconut curry style, my sister had tofu made sesame style and Dad had won ton soup with vegetables. Very generous servings as well as delicious. Food served quickly and staff checked up on us a few times to make sure everything was all right. I definitely would go again and also recommend this restaurant to others. read more

Let's be real - at night I probably sleepwalk down Grand Ave. and ultimately end up here. If it's your first time, go with the pork belly sliders. read more

Went in search of dumplings and stumbled on this place! Food is delicious, no msg, and homemade

Always a great meal! Dumplings and anything pork belly! Never disappointed by anything we've ordered!

This place is great. Everything we ordered was outstanding. We ordered the dumplings. I even ordered the fire hot sweet sauce, which was good, but probably a little too much sauce. The noodle dishes were also excellent. This will be our go to spot when we visit our son and his wife. read more

Great place for dumplings- the sauce for the dragon dumplings is delish. Wonton soup very tasty too. Friendly and efficient service.

I was hesitant to try this place from some of the bad reviews I had read, but decided to give it a try for lunch with my mom who is visiting from out of town. We didn't get dumplings but got wonton soup which we shared and was delicious, I got a curry & shrimp dish which was really delicious, mom loved her meal as well (eggplant dish). The service was friendly, they checked on us regularly and clearly wanted to ensure that we had a good experience. I'll definitely be back to try more things on the menu, everything sounded good. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant after striking out at all the neighboring restaurant due to the huge post-Woman's March rush of diners, and what a great find it was! It was clearly over capacity - halfway through our meal they were turning people away because all the tables were full, so service wasn't what it might have been, but the food was delicious. We tried several different dishes between us and all were wonderful. Standouts were the ying yang dumplings and the pork belly sliders. Would definitely come here again, hopefully when it's slight less crowded. read more

Service was particularly attentive, not surprising since the restaurant is newly opened. Food was good - garlic noodles and pork sliders especially. Will return and will try takeout as I'm in the neighborhood. Best of luck. Easy to miss if you are driving as Bangkok Palace sign is still in place. read more

We fell into this place last night when the restaurant we were planning to go to proved too noisy, too crowded, and too expensive. For a party of four, we ordered Dragon Dumplings, Pork Belly sliders, fried rice with Chinese pork and sausage, a special fried fish with some delicious sauce, and a lemongrass and garlic chicken. We thought everything was fantastic. The pork belly "sliders" which came with those soft white Chinese buns and the fried fish that was on the special menu were especially great. I notice that several people below complained about the service. We had excellent, warm, and friendly service. We ordered quickly and the food came in a bit of a haphazard order, but all within a reasonable amount of time. Perhaps they are learning. I wish this fairly new place the best of luck! Grand Ave is a bit out of my way and I don't often go there for dinner, but I will be back and will be bringing new friends with me. read more

Dopeeeeeeeeeeee dumplings. Delicious, fresh, and spicy. This is my go-to dumpling spot in Oakland. Highly recommend, make sure you get a reservation! read more
