The Best Dim Sum & Pastry

This is a delicious dim sum spot in Little Saigon neighborhood of Oakland. I've always enjoyed coming here for Chow Fun as well as the dim sum and baked goods.I removed my review from 13 years ago and started this new one upon hearing about the owner dying due to the rampant crime plaguing this area. RIP. These hard working people deserve better. I pray for the wife and family and I will continue to show my support.

Parking lot in front of the establishment.They only accept Cash Venmo or ZelleBe aware that they use MSG.

I came here to show my support for locally owned family businesses. Businesses in this plaza keeps getting broken into. The food here is OK. I got the lotus leave chicken, a small porridge and a Chinese donut for $12. It was past 1pm and some of the stuff were no longer available. The cashier had to scrape the bottom of the pot to fill up 80% of a small container of porridge. Regardless, I hope they do well and stay in Oakland.

Small shop in a tiny strip mall. Primarily serves the local male tea drinkers. Limited dim sum with good taste and price. Bring your own "box" or you will be charged.

WHEN: Thursday @1:30pmI grew up coming here for the pastries, especially the egg tarts. It's been many many years since I've gone back, and with it being much later in the day, there's not as many pastries left.It's cash only but they do have a sign out with thier venmo and Zelle info for payment.I don't remember the cost of each pastry but I recall it being quite reasonable. Overall the pastries are just okay. However what was really good was the GLUTONOUS RICE BALL with meat filling. The pastry part was gooey and sweet, which mixed si well with the savory meat filling.The EGG TARTS were oddly orange, and didn't taste great. Not sure what it is but it's definitely not how they used to be.I think this place is more known for their dim sum dishes. They all looked really good and I will have to come back for them.Although they have their own parking lot, it's usually pretty full. There's also street parking but be careful since it's street sweeping every Thursday!

They are the BEST. All their baked food are sold out each day. Don't forget their steamed or baked pork buns!

Located blocks away from downtown Oakland Chinatown, in a small plaza with parking for about 20 cars. Stopped in here to pick-up some dim sum to-go. Cash-only establishment. I like that you can order individual pieces. Total was $20 for 2 xiu mai (steamed pork dumplings), 2 har gow (steamed shrimp dumplings), 1 ham sui gok (savory fried mochi with pork filling), 1 small beef chow fun, 1 small congee (rice porridge). This was enough for 2 people to share. My favorites were the xiu mai and har gow. Everything else tasted bland or underwhelming. Apparently, you can preorder online via the link to their website, yet payment is still cash-only. Their website posted prices, while their onsite menu board does not. I feel like I was charged more compared to their online prices for what I ordered.

We're always leaving the area early and need a place that's open around 7am so we can grab a bite for the road. Was headed for Pho Ga that was supposed to be open but wasn't so we happened upon this place. Neighborhood looks a bit shady but people were hanging around outside with a mini line inside already. We ordered:. 5 ha gao - good sized, not over steamed, tasty. 5 siu mai - good sized with yummy shiitake and porky flavor. 1 fried crueller - good doughy chew to middle; not thin and "empty" on the inside. 1 lotus led sticky rice (big, but too full to try). 1 small soy sauce chow mein - yummy, great flavored noodles and noodles doneness with expected oiliness, bean sprouts, celery, scallion, carrot and pork shreds . 2 egg sponge muffins - can taste mild sweetness, spongy and not too dry as these sometimes are. I don't think I noticed clearly marked prices so we had a little sticker shock when total came out to $32!! I'm pretty sure other dim sum to go places are better priced, but have not tried food yet. 4* for the food but 3* for pricing.

The best dim sum & pastry name is very deceiving. It was extremely tough to like this place. Ordered 4 hai gow 4 sui mai, Chinese donut, porridge and a lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice with the kids.First off they didn't have enough hai gow so they gave me 3 hai gow and 5 sui mai without telling me! It came out to $29, I was shocked by the price, the lady said the hai gow and sui mai alone was $14! That's $7 per order and let me tell you I've eaten dim sum my whole life and there not even moderately close to be charging that kind of price. The quality was mush. Porridge was water down. The lotus leaf wrappedSticky rice was mushy like it was steamed over and over again. The Chinese donut was the only thing that was half decent( hard to mess up fried bread). I enjoy supporting small businesses but unfortunately this it's not for me.

I come here for their chicken feet. They serve a saucier, tender chicken feet, cooked to just before it's fall-off-the-bone (but won't fall apart) tender then braised in the sauce throughout the day. You can't go wrong with picking any random pastry to pair with the chicken feet but you've got to try the youtiao at least once.
