Ming's Tasty

Many of my favorite dim sum spots have closed over the years, and thankfully, we found Ming's Tasty, and I will keep coming back. The service is excellent! The food is delicious! Be sure to have the chicken feet with Peking sauce. Thank you Ming's for many delicious meals.

Hesitated to leave my review here because this is the best sit down dim sum place in the Bay Area and I am afraid it gets too popular as more reviews come in. I’ve been to this place twice and it’s best to come before 11am on the weekends. Only waited for 15 mins for group of 3. Seems longer wait for large groups. The space is not big compared to other sit down dim sum places so no room for dim sum cart and everything is ordered through menu. There is a wait for the food but the service is amazing. Super friendly staffs and the food is worth the wait. Turnip cake is the best I had in the bay. Porridge is so yummy but soup dumplings is okay. Everything is so soft and the quality beats the prices compared to other places. Will definitely come back again and again!

You can almost pass by the place but inside it's very spacious! Ordered Peking chicken feet and beef wonton soup. Amazing prices under 20 for that with tea. Food came prompt and quick.

I ordered online from Ming’s Tasty and picked up my food at the store. I tried a variety of dishes, including the pork and shrimp dumplings, steamed shrimp dumplings, baked BBQ pork buns, egg yolk custard buns, pork ribs in black bean sauce, and fried tofu skin wrap with shrimp. All of the dishes were incredibly delicious and flavorful! I highly recommend the baked BBQ pork buns—the outer crust is slightly crispy and has a delightful sweetness. Every dish with shrimp was particularly impressive, filled generously with shrimp and very satisfying.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Oakland. Food and kitchen are consistently good, sometimes verging on fantastic. Prices very good. Service very good, but remember some staff may have limited english skills. This is the kind of place where they remember you after you've been there a few times. I'm not at all surprised some reviewers felt this was the best dimsum they had found outside of Hong Kong. Portions are large, and they don't skimp. You can tell the quality of the kitchen because prawns are generally nearly perfectly cooked. Almost everything on menu is very good to excellent. Standouts: iron plate stuffed eggplant. Whatever you do don't leave any of the sauce! Sort of that perfect sweet spot between price quality and vibe/service only the food is much better than what you might expect from the exterior and interior, which are fairly functional. I really like the people who work there. I have no idea why any reviewer would complain about bad service. I've come here for years and have never seen them be less than polite and competent so take those reviews with huge grain of salt.

The dim sum staples are all decent, but it's the unique items that earned the 5 stars despite the long wait and below average ambience. The Snowy Baked BBQ buns are coated with a sugary frosting which create a unique flavor. I have never had the crispy shrimp chang fun (rice noodle) before and it's so good that I wish I ordered more. The Deep Fried Tofu Skin Wrap is another one that I will miss when I go back home. I've had tofu skins in soup and steamed plenty of times, but never like a spring roll wrap. The ladies that served us were friendly and informative. Enjoyed the brunch even though a 45 minutes wait on a Monday @ 12:30 PM

Absolutely hands down the best, legit dim sum at normal prices in the bay. I had my sons red egg party at harborview in the city so I know good expensive/overpriced dim sum. Mings is not that - reasonable, excellent quality, and the real deal. Their shu mai got a little too fat/beefy similar to those seen in walk in dim sum places in recent years but that aside, it's the best. Better than east ocean, better than koi.

Excellent dim sum joint in Oakland’s Chinatown. Recommend the wonton soup, snowy baked BBQ pork bun, shui mai, and har gow. There was a little wait for the table and food. Shared the table with a couple which was fun. No frills vibe but the food was excellent.

Best Dim Sum hands down that I had in Oakland. FAVORITE meal during my two week travel trip. I am a fiend when it comes to rice noodles and these are up there with my favorites. What a treat! What an experience! 1. Pork Buns are divine 2. Shrimp Rice Noodles for Days 3. The Wonton Soup is a signature 4. Do not sleep on the Shu Mai My Taste Buds officially rejoiced. Oakland City finally stepped up their food game. This place does China Town PROUD!

Cheap and delicious - what more could one ask for? I gave Ming's Tasty a try after hearing about it from a friend. Yelp reviews only further bolstered my excitement about the experience. My friends and I went at approximately 9:30 am on a Saturday. When we entered the restaurant, it was already fairly busy, and by the time we left (approximately 10:30 am), there was already a line out the door. I would definitely recommend getting there early (especially on a weekend), but I also noticed that they have an active "to-go" line for pick-up orders. That being said, amidst all the bustle in the restaurant, we were able to get our order in pretty quickly. It is all made to order, so the food is all hot and fresh when it is served. My personal favorite was the Palace Osmanthus Cake - it was extremely flavorful and I find that it is pretty uncommon at most dimsum restaurants. Other than that, many of the other items were also extremely delicious and flavorful. I will definitely be returning to try out more options!

The food was tasty but nothing outstanding or bad, just plain. Standard selection of dim sum. But, it is affordable. Service was attentive and ambiance was very lively, I did appreciate them giving us lighters and knives to celebrate my sisters birthday

I'm so glad my friends checked this place out on Yelp and recommended we go for lunch! It's a cozy spot with your traditional dishes, and service is quick. We didn't have to wait for a table on a Sunday early afternoon. We especially liked the siu mai and pan fried pork buns. Would recommend for local, affordable dim sum!

Expect hot typical dim sum, they open at 9am for the early birds, their XL dishes are $7.20 so that's the highest you will pay for the different options. Love all The fried dumplings and rolls. They also have a few congee options and huge portions of wonton soup. Don't expect the service to be great. We had to ask for tea refill Several times before our tea or anything extra condiments would be brought over. Servers are not afraid to blatantly ask for tips if you didn't include in your total. That was one thing I didn't appreciate as I was going to leave cash. And gratuity should always be optional based on the service received.

Dim sum served all day and their prices are so reasonable it's hard to pass up. I wish their menu was a little bigger with other dim sum traditional dishes. Fast and quick service. Food is piping hot and fresh! Definitely have become a regular here.

This is a no frills place for dim sum, food and service was fast. we had a variety of dim sum, nothing stood out to be spectacular. Probably wouldn't come back here.

Summary: Good value dim sum, hit or miss flavors Details: I'm not sure if it's just the way take out dim sum is here in the Bay, but the few places I've been never hold up against their actual sit-down counterparts. Ming's is similar to Good Mong Kok: you get some good value, with large portions at reasonable prices, but flavor is pretty hit or miss, with the miss usually due to things being way too salty. We found the various dumpling options here suffering from that and more (the chuichan dumplings were just kinda gross), which was a bummer since these tend to be among my favorite dim sum items. That said, the BBQ pork buns and lotus leaf sticky rice were actually quite tasty, and something I'd eat again. But, given that they failed at my main go-to items, I can't actually see myself coming back out this way just for these other items. If you're a local though, give them a try and make your own decisions!

I ordered takeout from Ming's and it was pretty good but not the best I've had. I liked the dim sum (har gow, sui mai, soup dumplings) but would not order the sticky lotus rice again (so bland!). The portions are generous. Service was fast and it was easy to order everything online.

LOVE THIS PLACE DOWN! I would consider this Oakland's premier dumpling spot, with everything being yummy. The tea leaf wrapped pork & rice is fire and I think about her all the time. I've never really sat down here, always take out - that said their take out process is fairly quick and efficient.

Came in around 9:30 on a Saturday and waited a few minutes for a table of 4. Picked about 11 dishes. All food was great! Ordered the har gau, siu mai, tofu skin rolls, Chinese broccoli, sticky rice with chicken. Fried meat dumplings, spare ribs, chicken feet, rice noodles rolls with shrimp, glutinous fried rice, and more.

We love Ming's and come here regularly for brunch on weekends. Everything is consistently delicious, and I've yet to have any dishes here that I didn't enjoy.

Two of my friends and I ran into this spot. It's like a local spot, busy and noisy. Don't let that fool you. The service was ok, I think they are very busy and have to keep moving, they did provide plenty of tea and the basics. The food is spot on. We ended up ordering about 8 different plates. I definitely enjoyed the thousand fried shrimp ball, rice noodle roll with fried crispy shrimp, and the fried tofu skin wrap shrimp. Those dishes were so crispy!!! And juicy. Great flavoring the pork and shrimp dumplings are pretty much a home run as well. Delicious food, in the heart of Chinatown Oakland. The bill was pretty light as well. Good food at an affordable price! Will definitely go back

The best dim sum in the Bay Area! The Shu Mai , black bean spare pork ribs , pineapple lava bun , Fried Taro 芋頭 and 鹹水角 are the best I have ever had in my life. I have traveled to Asia and even Hong Kong. This place is legit. Affordable prices and delicious!

Huge portions for typical dim sum! For 4 people, we over ordered because we underestimated the sizes. We came in on a Wednesday around 12pm during the holiday break and waited about 20-30 min. While we waited, we wrote our orders down and the service once we sat down was very quick. My favorite was the deep fried meat dumpling and turnip cakes.

How have I only discovered this place in my last week in Berkeley. I'd been craving dimsum for a while, and a friend introduced me to Ming's Tasty. As soon as I took a bite of the baked pork bun, pure bliss!! Trying a bunch of small dishes ranging from $5-7 can add up, but honestly, everything is worth it. Every dish is packed to the brim with quality and flavor, and nothing ever misses. We ordered the baked pork bun, steamed pork bun, hargow, sticky rice and minced pork in lotus leaf, siumai, and egg custard buns. All 5/5's that I will still be thinking about three weeks from now. Be sure to come early because they sell out of the baked pork buns fast, and the restaurant quickly fills up even on weekdays around noon.

Pea sprout dumpling - decent size, good taste. Pork rib - good, soft. Deep fried meat dumpling - good, crunchy, chewy. Rice noodle beef - good, beef soft and smelled good. Fried tofu skin wrap shrimp - as expected. Green pepper with fish - 4 pieces. Crispy durian puff - good. Deep fried taro turnover - good too. Steam bean curd - ok, maybe more fungus better. Chicken feet - ok.

A true whole in the wall experience, when we arrived the decor was covered in wood and graffiti. we wouldn't have thought this was a restaurant if the door wasn't open. We were seated promptly, as enter. Staff were very friendly. We saw a ton of Asian uncles and aunties. To me, that's always a good sign of good dimsum. They usually know where the best ones are. You want tasty and affordable. They had clay pot rice!! We had to order this dish. We also ordered ha gao, Siu Mai, some buns and chicken feet. All were pretty good. We left so full. Staff speak English, canto

TLDR: I'm Asian and got takeout. the wonton noodle soup smelled and tasted like gasoline. Horrible. Nearly puked. Stay far away from this place on busy days. They thought they could get away with it bc I did takeout. Horrifying. Feels like they intentionally poured gasoline, cleaning chemicals, liquid smoke, and some nasty nasty shit into the broth. The other food mostly dimsum was good.

I've walked by this place maybe 100 times over the 25 years that I have lived in Oakland and only now had Dim Sum here for the first time. Located in the heart of Oakland Chinatown on Webster right at 10th St, MTR is a very busy place especially around Chinese New Years. For two people on a Saturday at 1pm, the wait is around 15 minutes and parking can be hard to find around here. If you can, BART to 12th St Station and it is just a 5 minute walk away. We were hungry and ate many dishes. See photos with a score of 1-5 on each dish. Here's what I thought of the ones I tried: Shrimp Dumpling (Har Gow): 5/5 (best I have ever had) Pork/Shrimp Shui Mai: 5/5 Tripe: 5/5 Chicken Feet: 5/5 Beef and Cilantro Cheun Fan: 4/5 Deep Fried Turnip Cake: 3/5 Sampan Juk (Congee): 2/5 (no shrimp, squid and didn't taste like traditional Sampan Juk) Deep Fried Pumpkin Ball: 4/5 (fun to eat) Sticky Rice & Minced Oork in Lotus Leaf: 4/5 Taro Coconut Milk Pear Cake: 5/5 We had a couple of others that were not bad (4/5). The atmosphere is cozy and the service was excellent as the staff here are 5/5 super friendly. Will definitely come here again.

Amazing food! We got a variety of items and all were very well priced. Left feeling full any happy

Every time I think about Oakland, I think about this restaurant. It's become a favorite for me and my sister and we were so excited to come back! The food came out hot, and tasted fresh and flavorful. My favorites were the Choy Sum, and the Deep Fried Tofu Skin Wrapped Shrimp. Don't forget to add their amazing chili oil, amazing spice and flavor! Service was great, food came out in a timely manner and was quick to grab us anything we needed. For seating, they have both booths and tables. For how busy it was, it wasn't as noisy as you'd think. We can talk with no issues with our surroundings! Seriously can't wait to come back!

Food - yes yes yes. dimsum 100% yes. Service - alright. not complaining Ambiance - the usual Oakland Chinatown vibe Parking - Oh dear ... carpool if you can or uber

Wonderful dim sum lunches while at work. Closed Wednesdays. Place is always crowded and the food comes out really quick. The shrimp dumplings, and the pork dumplings have wonderful flavor. Steamed bbq buns are a little on the small side in my opinion. If you order take out, it generally takes 20-30 minutes to come out so plan accordingly. If you choose to eat there, getting there at noon results in a 20-30 min wait.

My go-to dim sum spot. Affordable, large pieces. Good quality. I have dined in a couple times. This place doesn't have the traditional rolling carts. Instead, you mark your orders on a paper menu. Recently, I've been placing orders online for takeout. There were two lines in the restaurant: one for picking up and the other for dining in. But it's all a bit of gathered clusters, so just politely fight your way through! My favorite is the Baked BBQ Bun. It sells out quickly so snag one if you're lucky! They are on the sweeter end. Everything else is pretty standard. I would say the turnip cakes are on the stickier end and give more "steamed" vibes than pan fried.

Short wait and shared table but overall they delivered on tasty! Quality was good at a better price point than some of the chain dumpling spots. Bonus lunar new year visit and blessing.

Tasty is in the name as an accurate descriptor! We were wandweing downtown Oakland and saw this place. Of course I scanned Yelp for a reccomendation and found this to look like an excellent value. Hong Mei took care of us and consoled us when we found out that they'd just sold out of Phoenix Talon. We happily stuffed our faces. We left with far bellies and still fat wallets after paying! Give it a try.

Such an underrated spot for dimsum in Oakland Chinatown! I've heard so much about this place, and for good reason. Even after one visit I think it's made my list of favorite dimsum spots in the bay! Almost everything we had was delicious, and at a very reasonable price. My friend and I came for lunch this past Sunday. I was afraid the wait would be terrible, but I got to the restaurant around 11:50 and they called us about 10 minutes later. Not bad at all! I think the wait is a bit longer for larger groups of 3-4, but it still didn't seem that bad. The restaurant is on the smaller side for a dimsum spot and isn't anything fancy. If you come here, know that you're coming for delicious, no frills dimsum at an affordable price, but don't expect too much from the service or ambiance. In terms of selection, they have all the dimsum basics but nothing new or innovative like Koi Palace or Palette offers. Still, they do the basics really well here, which is all I can ask for. Plus, it's rare to see a dimsum restaurant where a small dish is $4.20 and a large dish is only $5.70. That's quite a steal! We shared the following items (* marks my favorites): Ha gow / shrimp dumplings ($5.70) Feng zhao / chicken feet ($4.95) Steamed ribs in black bean sauce ($4.95) Wu gok / fried taro puff ($4.95) * Rice noodle with crispy shrimp ($6.70) * Choy sum with oyster sauce ($6.70) * Egg yolk custard bun ($4.95) Everything was solid except for the chicken feet, which had good flavor, but the meat wasn't puffy enough. I will definitely be coming back here again, and with a larger group so I can try more of their menu!!

I had some business to take care of at the main PD and was going to eat at my usual place, but when I got there it looked closed or boarded up so I looked for another place to eat. I came across this place and took a quick glance at the menu and saw soup so headed in. It's a dim sum. It's a smallish spot but I got a table and ordered soup and a dim sum order of steam bbq pork buns. The food was good and filling. I will be back and bringing people.

Line out the door at 11:30am for dim sum. This place was in the middle of Oakland Chinatown. We were looking for a place to eat after my kid's basketball game in Alameda. Parking was easy at the underground parking structure across the street. We didn't have to wait that long and they were able to accommodate my family of 5 and also brought over a high-chair for my toddler! Dim sum was excellent and glad we found this place on Yelp!

It's still as good as they say it is. Custard buns ARE TO DIE FOR. all dim sum was fairly large portions. XLB was balanced, chicken feet wasn't too oily and was easy to eat, the Jasmine tea kept on coming and the service was on point

While most other items are okay, the Central chicken clay pot rice they substituted chicken with frog Only after eating wondering what these little ass bones were... FROG Edit, their response confirms they put mother fking frog in my chicken rice LMAO

Stumbled upon this place while visiting Oakland. Place might seem tiny from the outside but they have plenty indoor seating. Staff is really helpful and friendly. I ordered their mandarin pork noodles- they tasted good but they had a weird/off stink to them- i noticed that in the soup that came with it too- 3 stars are for the great service and servers. It could be that i went there very close to the closing time.

I've only ever gotten takeout here and it's so good !! food is really 10/10. You can even order online which makes it even easier. All of their popular items are really well done and they do not skimp.. here are my faves: - baked bbq pork bun: it's soft and so tasty - pork and shrimp dumpling: lots of flavor and big portion - fried shrimp ball: super crispy

Came by early one morning (they open at 9 am yo!) on my way back home and was gonna sit down and try a few things. But by 9:45 am on a weekday they were already 80% full, whaaaa?! I woulda had to share a round table with 2 other parties of 2 who obviously knew the drill over there. So I picked a few items and took it To-Go. Their take-out process/system is pretty chaotic. Yes it is Chinatown, but dang I just wasn't ready for that, that early in the AM. So ordering was easy with the nice lady, paid and was told 15 minutes or so. There's no waiting area there, unless you wanna stand right above people that are eating plus getting in the way of bustling servers. I decide to leave and walk the block as to stay out of the way. Come back 15 minutes later and lady tells me 5 more minutes and to sit in this tiny corner right below the ordering counter. 5-10 minutes go by and now I'm surrounded by Door Dash pick-ups and other peeps placing their to-go orders. And during that 15-20 minutes of waiting and all this commotion above and around me, my bag was actually right above me on the counter but no one bothered to look or call it out. Kinda annoying but I knew where I was at. Shrimps in Fried Tofu Skin Wrapper ($5.70/3.5*) Quite unique as I wanted to order things this day that I had not tried before. Since I was in Chinatown, I might as well make an adventure out of it. No siu mai, har gows or noodle rolls this out, I was not going to give into comfort or familiarity this day. Super crisp exterior but in a weird funky way. Fried Tofu skins have this brittle plastic-y texture that I wasn't sure if I was digging it or not. I got used to it as the bites were really flavorful from the chunky shrimp filling. A tad salty but a nice lesson overall. Would revisit. Beef Tripe with Scallion and Ginger ($5/3*) Okay the tripe was pretty tender, but it was the frilly type cut into thin shreds, so the texture was not as substantial as I would have liked. The flavor was decent and simple but I kinda wanted something I could sink my teeth into, and this wasn't it. Pass next time, just wasn't for me. Steamed Fish Balls ($5/4/5*) I rarely order fish in dumplings but gave it a go. Glad I did, these seriously rocked. Huge meatball things maybe slightly larger than golf balls. Crazy tender and spring-y that only good Chinese kitchens can pull off. Pretty smooth and bouncey bites with hits of something green imbedded into the balls, chives I'm assuming. Wonton Noodle Soup with Pig Feet ($10ish/4*) I love wontons and egg noodles in soup and to see it with braised pig's foot (aka pata in Hispanic dishes like menudo) was a must get for me. We don't see this in the suburbs ever. The broth and noodles are really mild. But it was a good counter to the very large and flavorful wontons that popped appropriately and had a good sesame background. The foot/knuckle meat was pretty tender but not as meltingly tender as when it is in menudo. Here it holds it's shape but easily breaks with a light bite. It was kinda redish like it was braised in that soy 5 spice combo, but it was much lighter in flavor than that. I thought it going to be salty but totally not, quite natural in their approach, which I appreciated. So, I'm glad I tried them, not sure if I wanna immerse myself in the chaos again. Even sit down looked crazy, like you should know someone who speaks the language otherwise you might get left out in the cold. But the food is good enough that I am heavily reconsidering.

Me and my friend came here before 11am and this place was already packed. Thankfully the wait was only about 15 minutes. The tables inside mostly fit 1-4 people and a few tables for larger groups of people. Service was kind of slow. I think they might have been understaffed because all the workers were constantly running around preoccupied with something. The food was kind of slow to come out as well but they tasted really fresh and were steaming hot when it got to our table. All the food that we ordered were delicious. My favorite dish was the snowy baked bbq pork buns. The outside had this nice crispy, flaky and kind of sweet taste to it. I loved that they didn't skimp out on the bbq pork. I also liked the sticky rice & minced pork in lotus leaf. It was tender, moist and almost tasted like it melted in my mouth. I thought the rice had the right stickiness for me. My only complaint was that they put the tiniest amount of egg yolk. Finding street parking can be a real challenge during the day in Chinatown where cars are double parked everywhere. I would suggest parking across the street at the Pacific Renaissance Plaza parking garage. It cost $2 for 30 minutes so $4 for an hour. Overall, I would say this restaurant was on par with some of best dim sum I've ever had if not better and what separates this place was their affordable prices. We ordered 9 dishes and our total with tax was less than $60. However, the trade off was that service was basic at best and the decor was nothing to tell your friends about. There were no windows so no sunlight was able to shine through and the outside of the building didn't look like much with a bunch of graffiti on the wall. The good food and good prices will have me coming back.

If you're looking for a place to grub out on authentic dim sum for an affordable price - MING'S TASTY RESTAURANT. Don't let the hole-in-the-wall aesthetic fool you, this place is the OG spot for Chinese food and the locals agree. These are our go-to favorites: Beef stripe Siu Mai Fried Fishball Fried Tofu Skin Steamed Stuffed Tofu Skin Egg Custard Bun Taro Sago Pudding

I feel like I'm just repeating all of the other Yelp reviews, but Ming's is a really solid dim sum spot for a very good price. My group of 5 and a half ended up ordering about a dozen items and the total price was under $100 (after tax and tip). I don't think you can get better value for the money at any other dim sum spot. I thought that the turnip cake had a good texture and taste but probably a bit too soft to share on a group setting (it kept breaking apart). Har Gao and Siu Mei were average. Nothing blew me away with these dishes, but they were definitely still good. The Siu Mei also had an added bonus of being pretty big. The Char Siu Baos were probably my favorite. I enjoyed both the baked and steamed versions; but thought that the baked version was more enjoyable for its slightly crispy but chewy exterior. I don't think you'll go wrong with any of the dishes here!

Nestled in Oakland Chinatown, Ming's Tasty offers a very authentic dim sum experience. It's literally hole in the wall, we tried to find it following the map but the door front is covered in wood boards and graffitis and we completely missed it. Quality of food is excellent, good quality at affordable prices. Loved their succulent shrimp dumplings. Don't forget the complimentary chili sauce provided on each table. Service is decent, they are friendly and you get their attention easily. They take credit cards.

According to Reddit, this is some of the best dim sum in Oakland, and the whole Bay Area, and now that I have dined here, I agree. Fantastic dim sum in a no-frills environment. When we arrived Sunday around noon, there was a wait, but you can write your name on the clipboard inside, and it goes quite fast. We decided to share a table with another group to sit down sooner. We got the bbq pork bao, shrimp dumplings, stir fry noodles, and the beef and cilantro rice noodles. It was all so good! It also came out pretty fast and was piping hot. The chili condiment on the table was amazing mixed with the soy sauce and not too spicy. They have your typical tea choices, and at the end of the meal we were happily surprised at how affordable it is. The dim sum items all range better $4-$7. I have already eaten here twice this week, so I'll be back soon. Also parking on the street can be tough, but there is a parking garage right across the street in the mall, so that's the easiest spot!

Once you got inside, there was a lot of Asian people And they were always pack which means the foods Are very good. We ordered all of the traditional dim sum and they All delicious and fresh. Every items came out super hot. It is not a fancy or high end place. However the foods are good and the service are not bad. I highly recommend this place if you want authentic dim Sum with reasonable prices.

Stopped by to try the shrimp dumplings. I was worried when the cashier forgot to pack sauce but realized I didn't need any. They were so flavorful on their own. My dumplings were fresh and so sumptuous. I'll have to go with an empty stomach next time. Everything looked tasty.

When you're in Oakland and you're craving authentic Chinese cuisine, Ming's is the perfect choice! Decor is original Chinatown mom and pope whole in the wall gem. This is not panda express. No comparison!!! Staff are very polite and communicate well in both English and Chinese. The food comes out slowly and so worth the wait. Their Dim Sum is spectacular. I'll be back !

Power tip: bought takeout here through Uber Eats. Everything was pretty good, but the spring rolls and the clay pot rice with beef were standouts

My go-to for baked bbq pork buns! They're always delicious and a hit when I bring them to potlucks!

The location is not that great and the outside is full of graffiti but the inside is quite pleasant. We had 5 people and ordered tons of food. Their serving size is quite large for dim sum. It's about double the size of regular serving. The veggies were excellent and very fresh. The pumpkin mochi was so Good and they recommended it. I'd love to come back when I'm back in Oakland.

Wow to everything. Fish porridge, rice noodles, dumplings, taro cakes ... I could eat here every day. Now I want to go there immediately!

Okay, so not the fanciest place I've been to. But this interesting spot is definitely a go to it you need a quick (heavy?) snack. Yes you can go by yourself (I did, since I'm waiting for my better half to finish his test) but I always believed dim sum is best shared. Walking in- it's your typical small shop that can fit at least 75 people (tight space if you're claustrophobic) no major fufu decorations, just a simple sit in restaurant. Service was fast.. and efficient. Lol. Also if you don't speak the language, all good! The menu is in English .
