"“I went to East Ocean two days ago. It’s literally the best. If you really want some real good dim sum and overall good Chinese food, East Ocean fasho. Their deep fried shrimp dumplings are number one. I get the shrimp rolls. The shrimp rolls are really fire. I mean, obviously the har gow and the siu mai. The Chinese broccoli. What else they got? Their fried rice is amazing. They got the soy sauce chow mein. Super fire.”" - julia chen 1
"Alameda is just across the water from Oakland’s Chinatown, but there’s no need to cross a bridge for exciting dim sum. East Ocean is a busy Cantonese spot where extended families and big friend groups go to spend a weekend morning, thanks to the always solid selection of dim sum staples. Go all in on an assortment of standard steamed and pan-fried goods, like custard buns and turnip cakes, plus bigger entrees like congee and beef chow fun." - julia chen 1, lani conway

"It says something that this huge, 360-seat Chinese restaurant often has hour-long waits. People flock to this family-run, longtime Alameda staple for its quality Cantonese dishes. Another huge draw: the Hong-Kong style dim sum served at lunch, where diners can choose from about 75 items pushed through the dining room on carts. At dinner, selections range from roasted Peking duck to barbecue pork or a large seafood selection including rock cod, sturgeon, lobster, and Dungeness crab." - Meleyna Nomura
"It’s hard for us to comprehend why orange chicken is so popular, especially when sweet and sour chicken tastes so much better. That’s one of our go-to orders at East Ocean, along with the house special chicken and black pepper short ribs. But there’s a wide variety of menu items here, including a lot of seafood, so grab a bunch of things and share them with your roommates/family/significant other who you wish wasn’t your roommate. Or just keep it all for yourself - supposedly, it’s a free country." - Joel Ang
