The best Hong Kong style cuisine restaurant I have been to in the US; a must if you enjoy HK international cuisine and you visit Alameda, CA. Loved loved all dishes we ordered and they make homemade style dim sum, super fresh and yummy!! Their recipes have over 30 years in the making and they are unique! Service is very efficient, served family style, and great ambiance as well. Congrats Alameda for having such a little gem in your island :))) Will be back as soon we return to Cali for sure!!!
This is a must visit restaurant in the Bay Area.Super authentic dim sum and Hong Kong style cuisine, with great decor and friendly service.Great food for a very modest price.
Ordered string beans and chicken and low grade chicken meat was used, very greasy, would not recommend
The service was good, the food was not. There were 3 of of dining. None of us are super fussy but none of us enjoyed our meals
Service could have been a LOT better. The dim sum was good and the prices were very reasonable for lunch.
This is by far the best dim sum I’ve had in the east bay! The selection is nearly endless and the carts are abundant around lunch time. Everything is reasonably priced and a couple can easily eat for about $35. Love it!
Perfect balance of cleanliness and authenticity. Alameda: home of St. George’s Spirits, ferries, and really good dim sum.I have tried a few dim sum places in the East Bay and until today never found one that I loved. Legendary Palace in Oakland Chinatown has the right atmosphere but the food is too oily and parking is hard to find. Hong Kong East Ocean Seafood Restaurant sits on the Emeryville Marina and is as picturesque as it can get. The food is great as well, but the prices are about twice as much as ordinary dim sum, averaging about $25 a person. The Old Place Seafood Teahouse near Lake Merritt in Oakland looks just as it sounds. The space is drab, even for a Chinese restaurant, with fading paint, hideous carpeting, and debris blown in from the wind on the floor. The food is decent enough, but the morgue-like atmosphere, even on a Saturday, kills the experience. Today, I went to East Ocean Seafood Restaurant in Alameda and knew I found a spot I could recommend to anyone without reservations.If you measure how good a Chinese restaurant is by the wait or the number of elderly Chinese people there, East Ocean will not disappoint. It took a half-hour to get a table, and we saw plenty of grandmas and grandpas. Once seated, we immediately got our first cart. Shrimp rice noodles, crispy shrimp balls, shu mai, har gow – all the standards are delicious. I never order the banana leaf sticky rice because it can be hit or miss, but East Ocean was on such a roll that I tried it and was not disappointed. Moist and flavorful, the sticky rice may just be my favorite item there. Service is also rather prompt for a Chinese restaurant. The carts kept coming and when we did not see what we wanted, we just asked and they brought it to the table. Everyone, including the cart ladies, speaks English well enough that you can order safely and will not be surprised with what you get. At the same time, the food is delicious and authentic enough that I can bring my parents.The price is also on par with what you expect for dim sum. We ordered a few of the pricier specialty dishes, but the meal was still a great deal with 15 plates for $50 (including tax and tip), or $17 a person. East Ocean is definitely worth the wait, so do not be scared of the crowd gathered outside.
