The Best Seafood in Oakland

Sifu Wong Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (997) • $$

"DELICIOUS!!! We came here today for a Christmas Eve Eve treat with my mum. She had been here before and enjoyed it. She's a super picky Japanese cook, so I trusted her suggestion to come here with my boyfriend. There was not a thing we did not love. My favourites: har gao, honey bbq pork (aka char su), house special chow mein, salt pepper wings, egg custard tart. YUM! We made a reservation which is highly recommended cos it seemed their wait list was a cluster F. They even admit to that being a janky system. This place was packed but now I see why. I'll be returning."

Sushi Koya

★★★★☆ 4.3 (806) • $$

"Sushi Koya is a hidden gem when it comes to Bay Area Japanese cuisine. You can tell the quality of fish is high and they really take care of their customers here. If you want to order the biggest sushi roll you have ever seen, it's on the menu called Monstar. Be sure to split with a friend, because you won't be able to finish it yourself unless you're a true whale."

Baldie's Café

★★★★☆ 3.8 (991) • $$

"Excellent food & servers welcoming and efficient! Delicious breakfasts, (Omelets, Pancakes, Waffles,) Lunches, (French Dip, Burgers, Salads, Soups,) and Dinners (each day of the week they have different specials), my favorite - Thursday night Corn beef & Cabbage dinner--includes: Salad or soup, corn beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots & dessert!"

Taste of the Himalayas

★★★★☆ 3.9 (918) • $$

"We have eaten in a few times and get takeout about one a month. Consistently good, fresh food; and super warm, welcoming, and professional service."

Ocean Oyster Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (729) • $$

"I'm pretty sure this was here when I was living in UC 4 years ago, and now I'm mad at myself that I never knew of this place back then.My brother and hubby stopped in for late lunch reservations on a Wednesday and it was pretty empty, wait it was very empty with just one other table with a customer. I was a little worried but more shocked. My immediate impression walking in, I thought this restaurant has a nice interior, welcoming vibes but I was concerned there was no one here eating. Julian, our server was amazing from the start. Very personable, almost like he was an AI/robot, lol jk. He provided exceptional customer service without being overly helpful. For foods, we ordered two appetizers: crab cakes (bro's fav) and the aguachile. Both dishes were so good, I was excited to what was going to come out for our main dishes. The Aguachile had the perfect amount of spiciness with the Serrano sliced peppers and the shrimp marinating in a sour lime juice with spices. Wow, delicious stuff. Now for the mains, I went with the spicy pasta, hubby tried the Cajun pasta and my brother opted for the lobster/crab sandwich. Presentation was on point, really pretty plated dishes! Portions were pretty big, I would say two people can share the pasta dishes, needless to say I had leftovers, so yay me! I was just so satisfied with everything that we ate. From the flavors to the presentation, *chef's kiss good! Customer service, great; Ambiance welcoming and clean. I would 100% come back for a second visit and so should you. Bookmark now and come in to try some yummy dishes from Ocean Oyster Bar and Grill."

Honor Kitchen & Cocktails

★★★★☆ 3.8 (846) • $$

"My first time back at Honor Kitchen since they reopened after the pandemic. I came in expecting a solid meal, but they took my expectations, deep-fried them, and drizzled them with deliciousness.I ordered the chicken and waffles. In turn, they ordered my taste buds to the culinary dance floor. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and nomtastic.My friend had the huevos rancheros, and from the way she was aggressively defending her plate, I assume they were also fire. Speaking of my friend, it was her birthday. Honor Kitchen came through with a next-level bread pudding with plantain and even included a birthday card signed by the staff. That definitely earned me some free brownie--I mean bread pudding--points. :-)Service was solid. The restaurant is beautiful. Apparently, the speakeasy bar in the back is open till midnight? It's a great late-night date idea.If you're in Emeryville and NOT eating here, my condolences!"

Mumbai Chowk

★★★★☆ 3.6 (916) • $$

"Omg..my first time trying butter chicken. I figured I'm in California I've got to try it before I leave. It was DELICIOIS!!!! Chicken was tender, gravy was DELISH, the garlic naan bread was to die for!! Lentil soup had a hint of spice that my pallette appreciated. The lime soda was really good and even the rice pudding was good (I don't typically care for it).Treat yourself when you are in the area!! It's delicious!"

Lau Hai San

★★★★☆ 4.1 (700) • $$

"I never want to go dine in for Vietnamese hot pot because my family makes it all the time, but my partner kept raving about it; so I had to try it. The name of this restaurant literally translates to "seafood hot", but they also serve different types of hot pots and Vietnamese dishes.Coconut sea snails (5/5): This is the perfect appetizer. It was very sweet creamy and succulent. Probably one of the best I've ever had.Seafood hotpot (5/5): i had to get this dish the restaurant is named after. It came with shrimp, squid, scallop, tofu, fish ball, clams, mussels , and other. Love the variety of seafood. It was very plentiful and the broth was the perfect sweet and sour.This place definitely blew my mind."

Moon Indian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.9 (754) • $$

"My favorite place to order Indian food in the east bay!Customer service here is quick and seamless --They are really hospitable and quick to refill glasses of water. Very attentive and ready to add any additions and make suggestions if you want to try new things. Only positive things to say about their customer service.Butter chicken is a must, but the goat curry is perfection --Butter chicken here does not miss. Has perfect balance of spices and ghee. Pair it with garlic naan and that's already a fire meal.Also ordered goat curry and lamb vindaloo. Not a fan of the potatoes but there was not much. The meat portions are always really high.EACH dish comes with rice but keep in mind, it's a lot of rice. THE wings are a must try too. So much flavor and affordable.Overall, well worth the visit. This place also has a plethora of desserts ready to buy too!"

LB Steak - Bishop Ranch

★★★★☆ 4 (715) • $$$

"A friend has been to telling us about a great Happy Hour at LB Steak and that we need to meet up to try it out. We made it happen on a recent Friday. We arrived at 4:05 and were sat at one of the bar tables. The happy hour is from 4-6pm and is for seating at the bar and the tables in the lounge area. The area was pretty much full already. There's a TV on the bar wall that was on a sports channel.The menu consists of six Bites items, wine (sparking, red, white and rose), rotating beer selection, two mock tails, and four cocktails. I got a beer, and we shared the loaded tater tots and each got the Wagyu burger.The loaded tater tots were topped with bacon bits, chives, and a four cheese béchamel. Good size bowl of tots. The Wagyu burger came with lettuce and tomato with cheese add-ons at $1 and fries and dill pickle wedge. The burger was good with toasted buns, but felt the patty could have been thicker. Our waitress was friendly and food came out in a relatively quick. A good happy hour at City Center San Ramon."

Judoku Sushi

★★★★☆ 4 (703) • $$

"Hands down one of my favorite spots in Oakland, this sushi restaurant (and more) is such a vibe! Very close to Piedmont Ave. and Kaiser Oakland, Judoku is the perfect spot to dine outdoors with friends, a date, or just playing catch-up with a girlfriend. The staff is so accommodating and friendly, the interior inviting, but the outdoor area..unlike any other sushi spot in the East Bay with fun art, instagrammable backdrops, and just a cool essence. Well done!The menu is massive ~ we ordered the Kakiage Tempura and Bento Boxes for an afternoon lunch and omg what a deal! You can choose 2 or 3 items, so naturally we chose 3 ~ the avocado roll, teriyaki chicken, and pork gyoza accompanied by miso soup, edamame, and rice. Add a salad for a couple bucks if you're dining in! The Kakiage Tempura is so unique, crispy, and one of the most delicious appetizers in the East Bay..I said it! Delicate fried squares of shrimp, sweet potato, yellow onion, shitake and other root veggies combined into one bite. Glorious! And the value of what you can get in the bento box has me coming back for more. I only did the avocado roll this time, but can't wait to try more of their specialty rolls soon. Delicious and clean pieces of teriyaki meat, and super yummy gyoza, not too greasy at all. If you're in the area, coming from an appointment, or looking for a unique yet vibrant change to your typical sushi experience, Judoku hits the mark every time."

Burma Choice

★★★★☆ 4.4 (564) • $$

"The Powers that TeaLocated at the former Masa Ramen Bar (home of the Masa Ramen Challenge as seen on Man vs Food [S8:E19**]), Burma Choice has been serving up one of the more underrepresented restaurant cuisines: Burmese.Burmese food is a Fusion of mostly Thai with some Indian and Chinese thrown in for food measure. Burma Choice is one of only a small handful of restaurants that do this, but it should be noted, they do it very well. The Good:*Friendly service*Dog-friendly outdoor dining *Large shared private lot *Service was friendly and attentive*Local beers on draught, as well as a full bar. *Palata app is a must-order! The crispy, flaky palata was sensational. Imagine a croissant smashed into a flat bread. Yeah. It's that good.*Carissa loved her Pumpkin Stew w/ chicken, as it was a well-balanced soup/stew with good pumpkin flavor that had a subtle sweetness to go with the earthiness. *My current obsession, after reading about it on a local subreddit, is Burmese Tea Leaf Salad. This was only my second time consuming one but it was even better than my first time. Earthy, crunchy, and filled with tons of legumes and other goodies. Please note this is a vegan dish, but I highly-recommend going to the dark side and asking for some complimentary Crushed Dried Shrimp to sprinkle on top of the salad to give it an even bigger umami punch. The Meh:*Jackfruit Bananas dessert was just OK. I felt like all I could taste was the bananas In the filling and not enough jackfruit for my liking. And the ice cream was a boring vanilla. If they really wanted to pump it up, make the filling all banana and the ice cream jackfruit flavored. The Ugly:*Why is it when you're in a mostly empty restaurant they always feel the need to seat people literally right next to you? -_- Kinda like that guy that always parks their car right next to you in a 95% empty lot. Like wtf? Conclusion: Fantastic Burmese food with great service and a nice location. Highly recommended. **I'm actually somewhere in that episode. Hmmm..."

Thai Chili Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.8 (750) • $$

"Fantastic place to eat especially if you know your Thai food !!!Great service and the ambiance is great."

Saki's Spin A Yarn Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (854) • $$$

"Good food the best service would come back again the waiters checked on us at least 20 times making sure everything was right the food wow we ordered the short ribs they were so big we felt like cavemen we did have leftovers they did pack them for us and they wrap the bone for our dogs she wasn't in heaven when we gave it to her at home"

Thai Table

★★★★☆ 4.3 (512) • $$

"I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS PLACE. Every single thing I ate was perfectly balanced and delishhhh! The workers are super sweet. I love the decor of the place & it's in a good location on the main street. The fresh shrimp spring rolls were definitely fresh & crunchy. It's a great appetizer to go with a heavier entree with carbs because it's light & fresh. I had the Nam Khao which is the crispy rice with lettuce wraps. It has crispy rice, pork, carrot & peanuts. You load up your lettuce with all of these and it's a bite FULL of flavor. My friend had never had this dish before and she looooved it. If you're looking for Thai food in the area - look no further."

Massimo's

★★★★☆ 3.6 (694) • $$$

"Massimo's is a Fremont classic. It's Fremont style fine dining and that's all good, especially for a family celebration. We recently celebrated my mom's 79th birthday with our group of 8 and it was perfect. Reservations are easy to make and modify on open table, which I had to multiple times that day due to changes in plans. Since my mom previously signed up for the birthday club, we used a voucher for a free entree (or take $25 off). Super easy and generous.My mom loved the halibut special and she's picky. The risotto with scallops and sausage is flavorful and rich. It's a must try. The eggplant parmigiana was good and not overly breaded. Cocktails were reasonably priced.I am a Fremont local and appreciate these well established spots. It's a cozy elevated restaurant (mood lighting and linen table cloths), but not stuffy. The bar area is somewhat casual. I have been here in then past for my own birthday dinner, mom's past birthdays, and a casual catch up with a girlfriend dinner. This may just be our go to for family birthdays!"

938 Crawfish

★★★★☆ 3.8 (617) • $$

"First time here, celebrating my sister's birthday and it was like we were kicking it at a friend's house! I was able to make a reservation one day in advance for 7 people during peak dinner hours, and even called the same day to change our time with no issues whatsoever. They accommodated us right away and sat us even without my whole party present. Someone had called out, but we never even felt like service was slow or anything. This is a family owned and operated business, and we really felt like we were a part of that. Granted, we had quite a few shots, so alcohol tends to loosen up people but even without that, the whole staff were cool as heck. The food was delicious. Calamari (forgot to take a pic) was light and crunchy, served with cocktail and tartar sauces. The garlic noodles were super flavorful and stayed buttery. Some places tend to dry out and clump up, but not these! The seafood boils also had tons of flavor and spice. Medium was about as much as I could handle. Lol I think my absolute favorite dish was the Player's Plate. It comes with garlic noodles, 5 Tony's wings, 5 prawns and a huge catfish filet. Best bang for your buck, in my opinion. I would get that next time we go. And a special surprise was Tony's Style (Berkeley) was in the building. They were temporarily operating out of the space, so we had to get the shrimp and crab baguette. All that cheesy seafood goodness went perfect with our shots. LololNeedless to say, we took home lots of leftovers. We had a blast, and I hope yall have a great experience too."

Chef Smelly's

★★★★☆ 3.8 (608) • $$$

"I had heard of Chef Smelly but, did not get a chance to try his food until a friend of mine was coming from out of town and I decided to take her there. The food, service and ambience were all excellent! We both had fried fish combos and it was cooked perfectly. The wait staff were very professional and on top of it. I did note that they closed at 9 and we did not get there until after 8 so, we were still eating after they were trying to close. They were gracious and patient and never said anything that made us feel rushed, although, they did start putting chairs up on vacated tables while guests still ate. That made me try to hurry up. I left my sweater in the restaurant and the hostess ran after me (I was a block away) to give it to me. The great attitudes and service were exceptional!"

Wayne's Sushi Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.2 (492) • $$

"Our favorite sushi place in the Bay Area. My family have all been to Japan and we feel this is as good as any sushi that we've had there. This time we went for my brothers birthday and they did not disappoint. Patricia was our server. So attentive and helpful. We did the omakaze sets. They're best sashim. We also ordered a side of oysters and butter fish. Yummy!!! And look what they served my brother for his birthday. Nice"

Monkey Thai Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (558) • $$

"Came here for a team lunch and it was a great find! I got this confused with the other Monkey Thai where I didn't have the best experience, but this place is completely different. The waitress was busy but prompt. Super friendly and sweet. Their lunch specials are the way to go! You get an app, meal, and a drink for about $20. It's plenty of food too! Everything was tasty. Service was fast. The music was a bit loud, but they must have noticed and turned it down midway through. Also, it got busy and poor waitress didn't have any help so it took awhile to get our bill and some boxes. All in all, it was a great experience and I wouldn't mind coming here again for a good portion lunch plate."

Lara’s Fine Dining

★★★★☆ 4.2 (452) • $$

"We were out the way visiting friends and wanted a nice place to go to for quality appetizers and drinks, and boy, was I upset I hadn't met Lara early lol. We went in on a late afternoon/early evening Friday. The crowd hadn't started and the sun was an hour from sunset. Set at a window table right next to the water and our cocktail orders were taken immediately. From there we decided on shrimp cocktail, fresh oysters, coconut shrimp , artichoke dip and steak strips for appetizers. The taste of freshness was in every bite in all of the seafood. The cocktail sauce they serve should be bottled up and sold in stores. I'm not a big fan of coconut shrimp but I will eat it from Lara's any day of the week! Making it a point to return to try their dinner menu as well."

Lemon Crab

★★★★★ 4.5 (392) • $$$

"Hi everyone, I'm Eric with Stoneitup in San Leandro on YELP for your Tile or Stone projects.Well for my sons B day, he/we decided to go to this LEMON CRAB SPOT and boy oh boy did we enjoy of occasion of four, perfect for there four people per table joint, small hole/joint in the type of a place so it fills up fast.Beverages and beers, so what's missinG.."

Burma Taste

★★★★☆ 4.2 (423) • $$

"Lunch with friends! Ordered a few dishes to share and each one was very full flavored. I wanted to keep eating even though I was full! It was a nice spacious restaurant with space to fit our party of 15. Definitely a family style restaurant and options for individual eating which some in our group decided to do. Service was great filled our waters and asked how we are doing. I would come back again food was so delicious I'm thinking about it again!"

Seabreeze On The Dock

★★★★☆ 3.9 (470) • $$

"This place is a sleeper. Surprisingly good fresh and sustainable seafood fare located at a picturesque location. My kid introduced me to Seabreeze on the Dock, not the other way around! They have a terrific palate and told me the tuna steak sandwich was really good. I wasn't sure whether to believe the judgement of a person who hasn't been to many dining establishments in their less than 21 years on this earth, but I always give my kid AND a business the benefit of the doubt, and go in with an open mind. I was glad I trusted them. Their sandwich was terrific, cooked to order, accurately too. Succulent moist tuna, nicely seared on the surface, still pink in the middle. No fishy odor (all three times they've ordered it), I was definitely pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Hawaiian style shrimp bowl, which was a nice change from the bready/fried options. with plenty of plump shrimp. Though the sauce overwhelmed the dish (really salty, and way too much of if it), it was a nice mix of savory, sweet, and pungent, and I will get sauce on the side next time I order it. The only thing I wish they had was a side of veggies (steamed or stir fried) as a big bowl of saucy seafood and steamed rice begs for something fresh to accompany it- at least for me! The third visit, I ordered the oyster po'boy, and it's another solid meal. I got it with a side of sweet potato fries (my kid got the regular fries) and all the fried items were cooked in fresh, clean oil. No black motor oil that tastes stale or like it's been around for 2+months, and the oysters were cooked perfectly - not dried out little nuggets of sadness. Briny, rich, crisp edged with creamy interiors, I haven't had fried oysters in years (partners and kid weren't fond of them) and was super happy to finally enjoy this long-verboten dish. Seabreeze On The Dock, I'm worried you're gonna be my newest guilty/healthy pleasure!"

Lama Beans Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (403) • $$

"Lama Beans Cafe is a restaurant I've passed by throughout my life but was never drawn to. My friend spoke highly of the options and affordable cost, so on a breakfast whim I chose to take my cousin and me here.The restaurant is unassuming inside and outside--open seating for small and larger groups plus tables outdoors. For breakfast and lunch it's counter service. Order and pay and your items are brought to you while water is self-serve. The vibes are quite casual and neighborhood-like like with service being friendly and efficient.For brunch, I got the Organic Tofu Scramble. The dish came with toast, home fries, and their trio of sauces. Portions were nicely sized for the price. I felt that the tofu scramble could've been seasoned more and some parts of the dish tasted a bit flat, so that's when the sauces did the saving. My cousin had the Country Omelet and said it hit the spot.For those in Berkeley looking for a no-frills neighborhood spot, Lama Beans Cafe is adorable and has decent food. The restaurant is located off Gilman St. with street parking in the area. Not sure if I'll be back anytime soon but I'm glad to have tried it."

Hana Japan Steak & Seafood

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (845) • $$$

"The first thing I noticed was that the restaurant was in an out-of-the-way place near some docks where I had never ventured before. Not conducive to a spur-of-the-moment, hey, let's stop there. I never knew this was there. (No points against them, I just thought I would mention it. We also found a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge near the restaurant.) We showed up early but had to wait as they did not have enough staff and they timed it for our reservation slot. Totally fair.We went to the bar and I ordered a Mai Tai. I have not had one in years and it was really good.The interior is looking outdated but I was there for the food. We were seated a the cooking table and noticed a table next to us with very little interaction from the guests. After they had completed their meal, the chef left and returned a short time later to our table. We were a party of four and there was another party of four at the table as well. Both groups were into the entire presentation and cooking and had a great time. Some people at the table were not fans of Teriyaki but he had them try his teriyaki he made at the table. Both individuals ended up being fans. The food was good and the rice I loved. The steak was a little dry but I had it with the Teriyaki sauce and it made a difference. I also had the chicken and it was tasty as well. If I was in the area again, I would stop by and have a bite. It was a fun experience with the preparation of the food and really, that's why I go to these types of restaurants as it is unique."

Surmai

★★★★☆ 4.4 (365) • $$

"Got the Surmai Thali - it was sooooo delicious. The perfect amount of spice as well! Highly recommend!"

Koi Palace Contempo - Cupertino

★★★★☆ 3.6 (541)

"It's LIKE Koi Palace but with a twist!O R D E R E D * Boneless Hainan Chicken Rice* Cold Chicken Feet* Sour Cabbage with Fish* Ikura dumplings* Scallop sui mai* Lobster shrimp dumplings* Pineapple buns with butter* Hainan chicken rice* Sitcky RiceV E R D I C TKoi Palace Contempo is a delightful twist on the classic Koi Palace experience. While it shares the same high-quality standards, it's not your traditional dim sum spot. In fact, their menu is about 99% different and focuses more on entrees than dim sum!I've only visited for lunch, so I can't speak to their dinner offerings, but here's what I can tell you: If you're planning to come, try to arrive before 12 PM to beat the lunch rush, as it can get busy.Their menu features unique items you won't typically find at other places. Some of my favorites include:* Ikura dumplings* Scallop sui mai* Lobster shrimp dumplings* Pineapple buns with butterThey do have a small selection of dim sum items, but the real highlight here is their extensive menu, offering something for everyone.Bonus points for convenience! There's a large public parking lot right across from the restaurant, so parking is a breeze.If you're looking for a modern Chinese dining experience with creative and unique dishes, Koi Palace Contempo is definitely worth a visit."

The Cook and Her Farmer

★★★★☆ 3.9 (449) • $$

"They're normally closed on Sundays, but we visited this past weekend for the Summer Jazz Brunch Series featuring Jazz Mafia musicians and a menu of delectable bites including shrimp and grits, grilled oysters, and buckwheat waffles. We had the big sur melt, raw oysters, and the daily sandwich special, as well as a delightful watermelon margarita and a michelada. Everything was tasty. I especially enjoyed the savory, crisp grilled cheese filled with yummy shrimp and melty cheese. It was quite a lovely setting. The outdoor seating near the live music was taken/reserved but the indoor seating had an open air feel, all of the tables available since the other businesses at Swan's Market are closed on Sundays. We waited about 45 minutes in line to order and 20 minutes for our order to be ready, but the farmer gave out some wine to waiting customers. And we got to listen to the awesome sounds of jazz musicians performing for guests, showcasing plenty of talent on that patio stage.  Besides the long wait time in the early afternoon, service was great, workers cleaning up the tables and keeping the place beautiful, and the staff was friendly and helpful, making everyone feel welcome. We had a pleasant time."

Shell Shock Seafood House

★★★★☆ 3.6 (524) • $$

"With the sad news that my favorite crawfish place closed (Crawdaddy in Milpitas), the fam tried out Shell Shock. It's a bit pricier than say, Cajun Crackin' in Milpitas, but the flavors are pretty good.We ordered mildly spicy SS House Special sauce *cajun, garlic butter, lemon pepper. Not hot, the hot link sausages were spicier. Go medium & beyond if spice is your life. Sauce is thicker here, like at Ray's Crab Shack.*Combo #1: 2 fresh crawfish +$4 & 1 shrimp (choose 3 lbs from shrimp, crawfish, clams, mussels) includes corn, potatoes, sausage*Combo #3: Dungeness crab + crawfish, shrimp, clams plain boil (choose either crab, snow crab legs, or lobster & 3 lbs from combo 1 options)*Dungeness crab plain boil: they give the option of cut/clean but without the main shell*Garlic Noodles: happy with this because of all the delectable garlic!I was a tad upset I found 3 inedible fresh crawfish (rubbery/easily crumbled with a sandy taste) but the rest of the 3lbs was fine. Shrimp was cooked well. The house special sauce had a slightly sweet taste that I'm not accustomed to with seafood boil.No wait at 5pm on a Saturday. Nautical interior with spacious seating. Staff is nice too. Waters were refilled, they checked on us, and also offer hot water to drink. I really enjoyed whoever's music playlist was playing on 5/20/23 around 5pm! I wouldn't mind coming back."

Fish & Bird Sousaku Izakaya

★★★★☆ 4 (415)

"The food was delicious. The service was great. We didn't have reservations but arrived there before the restaurant opened and we were able to be seated right away. The ambiance was so nice. We sat at a booth/bench. My favorite. The deluxe sashimi was amazing as well as the Wagyu. And the black cod collar was amazing too. Everything was delicious."

Asian Pearl Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (647) • $$

"We ordered too much and we liked everything we ordered. The dimsum menu has pictures you can refer to. Service was excellent, we got our food quickly and they also cleared our empty dishes fast. It was busy with lots of families. There were 9 of us and we were so full ! My favorites included - tendons , steamed tofu skin , baked pork buns, chicken feet , shrimp dumplings and sesame balls. They don't take reservations for dimsum."

The Sardine Can

★★★★☆ 3.5 (533) • $$

"Looking for a hidden gem spot to have one of the best Bloody Mary's in the East Bay by the water before heading to the Niner game? Look no further than Sardine Can. A whole-in-the-wall type of spot that's no frills, but gets the job done. We take a Niner bus to the games from the East Bay with a stop in Vallejo. Because the bus leaves so early, we are always on the hunt for an early spot we can have a pre-game and a solid breakfast. Sardine Can never disappoints. The Bloody Mary comes with crisp bacon, and everything I've ever ordered here is solid: buttery hash browns, fluffy pancakes, juicy sausage, hearty breakfast sandwiches, fresh eggs, and strong coffee. Love the servers, a real "when you're here, you're family" type joint. Won't break the bank before a big weekend outing, and just the spot to also breathe in a little bit of the Vallejo waterfront breeze. Already looking forward to the next Sunday Funday!"

Korea House

★★★★☆ 3.5 (522) • $$

"The service is friendly and the food is good. The side dishes are great and free refills. The menu has something for everyone, even my picky kid."

Golden Sand Harbor

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (617) • $$

"The service here was great. We had a very helpful and courteous waiter. The food came out quickly and the location is great (across the street from the Ranch 99 with the Daiso and Savers).The ambiance was pleasant with large windows which let in a nice sunlight. With my rating of their dim sum, I am going to compare it to Mayflower, my current top dim sum spot.Shrimp & Chives dumpling =tiedSalty egg yolk dessert bun=Golden Sand Harbor wins because they give more filling. It came out hot and was delicious and creamyJin Dui=Mayflower is my preference as I felt Golden's had a too strong five spice flavorTaro Gok=tied (can somewhere please serve it piping hot-yes I want it to practically burn my mouth)Chinese broccoli- this one goes to MayflowerXiao Long Bao- Mayflower by a landslide...do not order this here at Golden and if you do, don't say I didn't warn you. Also it isn't served with black vinegar but after trying it, even that couldn't save it. No one in my party wanted to finish eating it.Flaky dim sum with pork-Golden Sand Harbor (Mayflower doesn't have this)"
