Honestly love this spot! Its cheap, fast service, & big portions. My favorite is the rice rolls here! The salt and pepper shrimp is delicious. Chow mein is alright. The siu mai is not my favorite. The shrimp har gow is pretty good and have lots of filling inside. There is no seating inside so its all take out. Make sure you bring cash as its only cash only. There is so many options here I want to try, but this is now one if my go to spots for cheap lunch.
Still ad good as ever, been. Coming here since the early 1970s. Only issue is the chicken buns... my daughter only eats fowl and fish, but these buns have SAUSAGE in them!!
Wow - how did I not walk an extra half block over the last 6 years working in Oakland to find Tao Yuen?? What a great find for a HUGE takeout lunch? Food is fresh and hot, and the line moves fast. It's a takeout only place. No frllls. Nothing fancy. Cash only. Prices are comparable to other places on dim sum orders but the real deal is with the noodles. $16 for a large container, which is packed full of goodness. It is easily 5-6 servings in it. Coming back for sure!
Was craving some Lunar New Year eats so popped in to my fave dim sum shop in Oakland Chinatown: Tao Yuen. Maybe they're not the most refined or delicate dim sum in Chinatown, but for value and getting filled-up, nothing beats their selection. I was craving some pork shumai (siu mai) today, and rolled in around 5pm. They were just reloading their steam pans with fresh potstickers and noodles for the dinner rush. I picked up a dozen pork shumai, and headed straight home. As usual, the shumai were massive, golf ball sized balls of ground pork with the perfect ratio of fat to meat. Very juicy and well seasoned. More meat by far than dumpling wrap. Mixed-up some hot mustard, a little soy, and then went to town. Tao Yuen has far more than shumai on their daily offering, so don't be afraid to sample their menu. Even when busy, they're also always super nice. Happy Lunar New Year of the horse!
Been coming to Tao Yuen for more than 25 years now and while it may not be the best for every type of dim sum, from our perspective, it has one of the best baked BBQ pork buns, especially when you catch a fresh batch that comes out. Soft fluffy dough with a shiny sweet glazed browned top filled with a classic Cantonese BBQ pork filling, it is nostalgia in your palm! Parking around this small Oakland Chinatown storefront can be tricky at times, and remember to have cash on hand, but don't miss out on this tasty, inexpensive breakfast or snack!
Edit - bumped the rating up to 4 stars for the roasted pork bun; one of the best ones I've ever had, with juicy filling distributed evenly throughout the bun. I had it a day later and it still was delicious. The food satisfied my cravings, but I wish there was more salt on everything. Definitely worth a stop for the large portions and wide array of dim sum. I will be back to try other items! Note: the box combo with two items is $18, but they do load it up Salt and pepper shrimp 2.5/5 - cooked well, but needs more flavor; it just tasted like batter Salt and pepper chicken 4/5 - large chunky pieces of dark meat fried nicely with the perfect amount of salt and pepper flavor; would recommend Chow fun 3/5 - noodle texture is perfectly bouncy, but needs more soy sauce Pork and shrimp dumplings 5/5 - my favorite item of the lot, well-seasoned pork with whole small shrimp and some veggies; the skin is thick but the filling works well with it. Definitely a must try.
When I go to Chinatown, Tao Yuen is the bakery I go to for my Baked Char Sui Bao. A family friend loves this bakery so I always pick-up a dozen for them and some for me to eat. They also have steam table food for take-out, steamed dumplings and other baked goods. I usually go to three different bakeries for my Chinese pastries dependent upon the item. Tao Yuen makes a very good baked pork bun. It is huge compared to other bakeries. The bun is light, little chewiness, good flavored bbq pork, minimal fat and good filling portion all for $1.90 which is about the same as other bakeries. If in Chinatown, stopped in for a pork bun that is enough for a filling snack or get two for a meal. Also, try some of the hot food or other pastries. Of course I'll be back for more excellent pork buns. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of the current price list and the food, next trip.
Tao Yuen Pastry is located just a few blocks away from the main Chinatown downtown center in Oakland. It's right down the street from where there used to be a dim sum place on the corner at the end of the street. It's wedged in-between quite a few other eateries, such as restaurants and bread place, and I feel the best way to describe Tao Yuen Pastry is that it's a combination of various restaurants and bread places, but to-go and on the cheap. Just to re-iterate, it's a takeout only spot, and also quite snug once you get inside. Their menu is pretty large, as they have some stuff on the menu that won't necessarily be in the trays up front that are primed and ready for takeout. As mentioned before, even though they have pastry in their name, they basically do almost everything except pastry, though they do have some stuff on that front, but not as many as actual dishes, dim sum, and other more normal entree food options. The selling point here really is just how cheap everything is, and they're one of the takeout places that aren't afraid to pack your box nice and full for the price either. While the taste of the food here will be hit or miss depending on what you get, the overall food quality, even though it looks super old and rundown of a spot, is on point. Some of my favorites are the fried chicken which is just thigh and drum stick meat fried together. When you eat the chicken it's not just minced meat that's been mushed together, but actual chunks of thigh and drunkstick meat. Quite rewarding. Some of their dim sum stuff here are actually pretty good too. While the thing to note though is that they generally don't have great portions of the dim sum stuff like they do with the dishes, chow mein, fried rice, etc. And the expensive ingredients like shrimp and stuff aren't necessarily the biggest selling point in some of the stuff, but the other ingredients they add into them actually makes them somehow taste better than some of the stuff at the actual dim sum places nearby. Honestly, if you're looking for the best bang for your buck, price and quality wise, you probably won't be able to do better than Tao Yuen Pastry. Yes, you can find better food elsewhere. Yes, you can find cheaper food elsewhere. But very few places in Oakland Chinatown nowadays does both, and a to-go only place to boot, definitely a good spot for those on-the-go and don't want to spend too much.
My first time trying Tao Yuen Pastry this morning. I'm Asian, but didn't know what anything was called so I appreciated their friendliness and ability to describe what each item was in English despite their long lines. Everything was a 100,000x/10 Their chicken feet perhaps some of the best I've tried since moving back to the Bay. There's not a single item I didn't like. Will definitely be buying from again.
Food - this is my favorite pastry store! Their rice cakes are fresh and so delicious! Rice rolls are pretty good, too! Service - very nice. They take cash only Location - 5 min walk from 12th st, BART. I highly recommend pastry at Tao Yuen!!
Don't want to put this place on blast but it's delicious, authentic, dim sum. They pack your to-go boxes until they burst. Cash only and no sitting down. Fast and yummy!
Tao Yuen Pastry always has quite the line outside! While I haven't tried their savory foods that people eating lunch and dinner, I have tried a couple of their pastries. Most recently, I got one of their sweet sesame balls and a savory BBQ pork bun. While the pork bun was quite oily, the filling was delicious, and there was a good proportion of filling to bun. I have been craving a sesame bun with green bean filling recently, and the Tao Yuen bun filled that craving! The filling was not too sweet, and I enjoyed the chewy and fried sesame bun. I'm excited to try some of their lunch/dinner foods in the future!
This spot was a great grab-and-go option for takeout dim sum in downtown Oakland. The shop itself is quite small, but that makes sense--it's clearly designed for quick takeout rather than sit-down dining. You order, pick up your food, and get on your way. Since it was my first time trying this place, I wanted to sample a variety of items. Of course, I had to get the classics--pork shumai and shrimp dumplings--because it just wouldn't be true dim sum without them. I also ventured out and tried some other items like the pork and leek dumpling, shark fin dumpling, and pumpkin dumpling. Overall, everything had great flavor, but my main critique is that the dumpling skins were a bit too thick. This was especially noticeable with dumplings made from tapioca flour; the texture became chewy. One standout item was the fried garlic, scallion, and dried shrimp rice roll. It was pillowy soft, and the dried shrimp flavor really came through--it was a pleasure to eat. I'd definitely order that again. From the steamed dim sum lineup, the pork and leek dumpling and the shark fin dumpling were the highlights. I'd happily get those two again as well. The pumpkin dumpling was the most intriguing, mostly because I'd never seen it before. It turned out to be a meat and pumpkin filling--unexpected, but enjoyable. My breakfast came out to just over $16, which felt fair given the portion size and variety. It was definitely a filling, satisfying meal. Next time, I'm planning to try their fried noodles and Chinese-style fried chicken--both of which the customers ahead of me were raving about.

I stopped by Tao Yuen Pastry while visiting family in Oakland. I haven't been to the Chinatown area in a few years and definitely wanted to hit them up for so good food and my first stop was here. The food is ready made in house and there is a wide selection from fried rice, dim sum, chow mein, stuffed rice noodles, fried chicken, baked and steamed pork buns and so much more. The customer service isn't great as they want to get you in and out as quickly as possible so know what you want to get. There is no dining whatsoever at this establishment just order and go. The inside is your basic hole in the wall. I ordered jumbo shrimp rice noodles, garlic shrimp rice noodles a dozen bbq pork buns, fried chicken, and mixed seafood dim sum. They are very generous with the portion size and certain item are by weight versus set price. read more
Stopped in to pickup some bites. Got a "small" clamshell container of salt & pepper shrimp, 1 fried sesame mochi ball with red bean filling, and 2 steamed chive & meat dumplings. Total was about $24. The shrimp were huge and very tasty. I recommend you eat them right away so they don't get soggy in the unvented container. Even though the container is small (about the size of a pint), they really load up and fill it. I think they fit more than a pound of shrimp in there for me. Hence why it contributed to my surprising total cost coming out to be $24 for this + only 3 other single items I got. Their steamed dumplings are also about 25% larger than your typical dim sum dumpling. I tried the round and crescent moon shaped ones. Both had a good ratio of filling, the dumpling skin was not too chewy, and tasted pretty good too. The fried sesame ball was also sizable, but really doughy and not my favorite. Had a thick mochi skin, compared to the red bean filling inside. It was pretty crowded on a weekday at 10:30am but the line moved quick. Also this is CASH ONLY payment. read more

I feel like I overpaid. I bought the thin noodle chow mein, eggplant and tofu, and chicken and broccoli for $34. Is that right - about $12 each for large container? There's no prices posted for the items in the window. They gave a lot of chow mein, but the other two items were barely filled to the top, unlike when I go to other restaurants where it's filled past the lid and it can barely close. The chicken and broccoli had about a tablespoon of cut up chicken, and the rest was broccoli and tofu. The food didn't have much taste. Chow mein and eggplant and tofu was mushy. read more

My carpool buddy needed to stop at Napoleon Bakery next door for pineapple buns and the delicious smells coming from this place had me parking my car and ordering immediately! I got chicken chow fun, sesame balls, steamed bbq pork buns, and shu mai. There is NO substitute for the delicious food that comes out of Tao Yuen Pastry! I had to share pics with my family and friends and they are headed there right now to grab some goodies for their families too! I happily went into a food coma after smiling and walking down memory lane with these delicious treats! So glad I found this place! read more

Service was super fast, and they plate everything generously. The only downfall is that it's cash-only, so make sure you bring some bills. Overall, great spot if you're craving classic Chinese comfort food with quick service and big portions. I'll definitely be back! read more
This small food spot has been here for years. Timing is everything I came around ten am and and was able to walk right in. I ordered the delicious fried rice and a custard tart with pork buns. The location is very small with limited customer entrance. read more

Love this place for quick to-go dim sum! My favorite was the pumpkin and pork dumpling. It was delicious! Service was quick and there was a short line. I didn't like the shrimp or beef rice noodles as much because it was more noodle than filling. I would come by again if I ever crave some quick dim sum! read more

Food's in big portions. Always crowded, this is probably one of the two last standing dim-sum to-go shops in oakland chinatown. Although be warned, in recent years there are always panhandlers and homeless lookin for a free meal or money right outside the storefront. This place only accepts cash. There's barely any standing room in front of the cashier. The lighting is minimal indoors. The ambiance is that of a barely surviving post-pandemic deli. In my experience, the people waiting in line can stand awfully close to you, enough to rudely rub against you. I refuse to accept that to be the norm, just the abundance of hungry people without manners or proper hygiene. The employees are socially passive, so you're own your own. I've tried most of the items on the menu, but I keep going back for the egg rolls and chow mein. My coworkers like the fried beef/chicken. read more

The best dim sum place in the whole bay area, with prices you can't be anywhere else especially in SF. I come all the way from the North Bay to just come and get dim sum from this place and I've been going here since I was a child and since my dad was a child too I usually get the Hargow, and shu mai and the best noodles to get here are the soy sauce, chow mein noodles or the ones that are super thin. The fried tofu is super crispy and the chicken wings have so much flavor that you could taste the MSG on it The ladies that work there are super nice, and the service was super fast . It's a very small environment which sucks. I feel like they should move to a bigger place and the line can run as long as two stores down, but the whole interaction from being in line to paying is less than 10 minutes because of how fast they're working. read more

Delicious food all around! My friends and I decided to come here AGAIN to order. Emphasis on again because we love the food here and wanted more! WARNING CASH AND TAKE OUT ONLY! We easily spent $100 total for the three of us. Not only is the food amazing but they are also generous with the portions! What else can you ask for especially in this economy! There's a lot of dishes to chose from, but my favorite is the fried shrimp! Can't go wrong with any of the other dishes tho! read more

I love coming to Tao Yuen Pasty. I love their Chow Mien Noodles. Their noodles is so good I always get both thick & Skinny noodles haft & Haft. That place is also located in Oakland Chinatown in Oakland. But too bad it's cash only to buy their food at. And I wish they could take debit or credit card at that place so people doesn't have to go withdraw money out of their account. Anyway that place is always crowed to get your Chinese food at. read more
816 Franklin St Oakland, CA 94607 In the heart of Oakland Chinatown, the popular Tao Yuen maintains its reputation of serving up takeout chinese favorites at fair prices. I was there on a hot July 4th day, around 5pm. I wasn't in the mood to cook dinner, so where can I get some favorite foods? I go inside Tao Yuen and I see: - a mountain of chow mein - big prawns - boneless fried chicken - har gow, siu mai , sesame balls! - pork buns....cheung fun Everything I like to eat.....in one place. I don't speak Chinese, so I use the point method and hold up fingers to denote quantity. Smile alot and laugh. I asked for: - Medium order of mixed chow mein ( regular and thin noodles) - 1-lb fried chicken (boneless) - 2 sesame balls Total $23. OMG, what a generous serving of chow mein! Nothing skimpy here. Tao Yuen, the Chinatown version of fast food! On Franklin St between 8th and 9th St. read more

Loved the salt and pepper shrimp here! It was very flavorful and the shrimps were huge. The siu mai had a bit of the old meat smell and the har gow's dumpling wrapper was very thick. The ratio of shrimp to wrapper tasted a bit off so not sure I'd get it again. read more

As an SF native, my dad is pretty picky when it comes to dim sum. Tao Yuen is his go-to since moving to Oakland, and it's always a treat when they bring TY home (which is often). We regularly order their Chinese-stle boneless friend chicken for parties and family events - so salty, crispy, juicy and delicious. Our relatives always ask us to bring it whenever we get together. Our favorite dim sum items are the shrimp dumplings, rice balls, beef balls, siu mai and "shark fin" dumplings. As with any Chinatown, parking is a clusterf***, so get someone to drive and drop ypu off to pick up, or park further and walk in. Lines/wait times vary, so we always order ahead for larger orders. And cash only! read more
GENERAL: Been coming here for years. Beat time to come is early morning. There are times when the waiting line is out the door...it moves quickly. Oh, this is NOT a sit down restaurant...to go and cash only FOOD: my fav is the skinny chow mein noodles. Don't expect lots of meat which is good by me. The shrimp cheung fun and the chew cheung fun are our FAVS. SERVICE: The ladies behind the counter are quick and the lines moves quickly. Remember, this is Cash only read more

Do they make everything on the menu every day? I went late morning. Several things I asked for, they just said no. Example, we love taro puffs. I asked - they just said NO. Do they have them early morning? Can I pre-order? Only certain days?
Tao Yuen open in the early morning. My suggestion is to get there at the latest 10 AM. I have been there around 3 PM where most of their pastries are gone. The only items left in the display case were the baked and steamed pork buns. I have also…
Catering menu available?
I have went by and it's been closed, google also said it's temporarily closed. Does anyone know of this is temporary/what's going on?
we stopped by there last weekend, the place was closed and dark. I said to my wife "I wonder if they'll reopen.". Out of the depths inside,a voice said "we'll be open next week"!, apparently someone working there.
Are they open for business during "Shelter in Place?" Tried calling, but they are not answering.
Last time I went by to see and Tao Yuen was closed. Really sad because I miss my Chow Fun, etc
What are the top 5 dim sum and top 3 pastries to get here?
usually just go for baked bbq pork buns. their steamed ones not nearly as good and haven't been impressed by their dim sum either. always get at least a dozen of the baked bunds though! freeze nicely if you don't eat them all in a day or so!
Is this cash only?
Yep, cash only. There are ATMs and bank branches around if you need to get money - all within easy walking distance!
