Nice dim sum restaurant by the ocean. Whenever we are in the Bay Area and craving dim sum, this is…read moreour go-to spot. We have visited many times over the years, most recently in June 2026 on a Tuesday during lunch. It is consistently popular, both on weekdays and weekends. Place: The restaurant is spacious and clean, including the bathrooms, which are well maintained. Food: The food is very good and fresh. They no longer use traditional carts; instead, you order from a menu at the start, which we actually prefer. The wait time was short, and the first dishes arrived quickly. They also provide plastic containers if you would like to take leftovers home. Staff: When we arrived, no one was at the front counter, but a staff member came within a minute and seated us by the window. Our first time with that view! A server promptly took our tea order and brought it shortly after. Throughout the meal, different staff members delivered our dishes efficiently. However, it was sometimes difficult to get someone's attention, as everyone seemed busy and moving quickly. No one checked in on us during the meal. We flagged staff three times: for water, a fork, and a refill. Each time, they were responsive and helpful. The challenge was simply getting their attention. Overall, the service could be improved, but the food, setting, and overall experience keep us coming back.

Service at a dim sum restaurant? Yes! The staff here are all very friendly and you can tell they're all about hospitality. Overall, every single dish we had was top notch and it's a good thing we don't live that close or we might end up looking like those piggy baos they have on the menu lol. I also didn't realize how big the place is! So big, they have two sections. The front is the usual noisy dim sum setting where you'll see the servers carrying trays or pushing carts of items to pick from by your table. Then you have the "quiet" back section where it's less hectic and offers more tea selections, but you can still order everything from the full menu.  What we ordered: * Baked Portuguese Egg Tarts * Chicken Feet w/ Black Bean Sauce * BBQ Pork Rice Noodle * X.O. Sauce Pan Fried Rice Noodles * Siu Mai * Shrimp Spring Rolls * Spicy Dumplings in Chili Sauce * Salt & Pepper Calamari * Jasmine Special Tea

Stopped in to pickup some bites. Got a "small" clamshell container of salt & pepper shrimp, 1 fried…read moresesame 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.

They have the longest lines and with the steady business, you know the food is fresh and they're constantly churning them out. It's definitely old school dim sum though, so prepare to feel heavy and a little sleepy afterwards. My favorites are the har gow (huge shrimp), sticky rice balls, leek and pork dumplings, rice cake and pork buns. We also grab the fried rice or chow mein if it's a fresh batch. We are usually in Chinatown every weekend, so it's nice to continue the tradition.

The space is very open, and you can watch the person hand wrapping the dumplings right outside their kitchen. We ordered soup dumplings, pan fried buns/soup dumplings, dan dan noodles, scallion ginger noodles, garlic green beans and chili wontons. All the dumplings and buns were done really well - seasoned great, perfect amount of soup in the right dumplings. The chili wontons were something new; it was dressed with a peanut sauce, which paired perfectly with the chili oil. Both noodle dishes were good, but not spectacular. The dan dan noodles were a bit soft in texture, and I enjoyed the peanut sauce in that again. The scallion ginger noodles had a bit more chew to them but they were still very good. The garlic string beans were a classic, no notes there. Very much a no-frills spot with good food, 10/10 would return!

I used to live in Los Angeles and they're known for their dumplings up in the Pasadena San Gabriel area and these ones reminded me of that..

The homemade ham torn noodles cannot be beat in any of their configurations, especially the spicy. Just try it already!!!

My friends and I decided to order delivery from Shan Dong, which is one of my favorite places in…read moreOakland Chinatown. This time, we ordered a few dishes to try - the classic sesame paste noodles, Shan Dong chicken, the fried rice with shrimp, and the hot spicy eggplant. Since we did order delivery on a busy Saturday night, it took a little over an hour for our food to arrive. The food was expertly packed and we were given plenty of utensils and napkins. The sesame paste noodles are one of my favorite dishes here, there's a balance of sweet and salty offered in the creamy sesame paste sauce that's so addicting. I've always been a big fan of the hand-pulled noodles which are thick, bouncy and chewy. The Shan Dong chicken is deep fried and coated in a delicious sauce. It is more of the sweeter side if you're looking for something that's spicy. I appreciate that we were given large pieces as well! The fried rice with shrimp is amazing - I love the crunch of the green onion, the softness of the fried egg, and the texture of the rice and veggies which weren't soggy and still held a nice bite. Last but not least, the hot spicy eggplant was a great choice because it's usually the trickier dish to cook as eggplant can turn really soft and mushy. I was delighted that with the way it was prepared, the large eggplant pieces still held a tender texture that did not fall apart. I also enjoyed the sauce that was paired with the eggplant, which is oyster-sauce based and added a pleasant sweetness as well. I'm always looking forward to my next visit and I love supporting Shan Dong!

We came on a Monday at around 1pm, and there was about a 15 person line, but by the time we left it almost doubled that. We did come while the World Cup was happening, so I'm assuming a large chunk of that were tourists. We got the Pork Siu Mai, Shrimp Dumpling and Sesame Balls, and they're as good as I've had at restaurants, maybe even better! I definitely recommend the sesame balls, they were the perfect sweet treat! We were also hoping to get pot stickers but were told they were all out. Be patient and be ready to wait. Expect no frills, cheap eats and good food. Luckily, they accept apple pay as a good portion of places in Chinatown are cash only. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area!

Great place. Love the AYCE menu. Lots of options and an open environment to talk with friendsread more

Oakland Hidden Gem…read more We are all about the AYCE Hotpot and this place does not disappoint. There are many restaurants for hotpot around the bay and we've been to most. This place stands out for the pricing and service. The interior of the place is nice and modern. The staffing is always around for rounds 2,3,4 and on when we needed anything. The option of soup base is great and the quality of meat is perfect. This place is not skimpy on the portion and it comes out fast. The sauce bar is my favorite, where else do you get XO sauce as an option? Did I mentioned free Boba Milk Tea? Yes, unlimited and included in the price. Lunch goes til 4p at just $25.99 and $29.99 for premium which then comes with more meat options and dim sum. Other places will end lunch hours at 2pm. Here, I can pick up my teenage kids from school and still make it here for lunch pricing. There is literally nothing I can knock on this place aside from street parking only. This place is a must eat if AYCE hotpot is your thing.
