Oriental tea house is in a building that used to be Jerrys Pancake Parade back in the 60s and 70s. That explains the old school diner, 60s style restaurant decor.
Prices are definitely lower than some of the newer flagship dim sum restaurants that have recently opened. I would say you get 15% more for 10% less.
Waitresses were polite and helpful.
Note that they automatically add a 15% service charge to the bill. Also they might also charge for items that they tell you “they ran out of”. Basically inspect the bill closely before you pay.
They have a decent size parking lot but it might get full if the restaurant is busy.
The location is in east oakland so exercise the necessary precautions.
Overall decent value and the steamed di. Sum items are pretty good. Perhaps we went in with low expectations. It is worth a visit if you’re in the area. We feel the same.
The menu was extensive, and I tried several dishes, but some of my favorites included the shrimp dumplings, pork buns, and egg tarts. The shrimp dumplings were perfectly steamed with a delicate wrapper that didn’t overpower the juicy filling. The pork buns were fluffy and moist, with a generous amount of tender pork inside. The egg tarts were rich and creamy, with a buttery crust that crumbled in my mouth.
The service was also excellent. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive, and they helped us navigate the menu to find the best dishes. The restaurant was clean and had a pleasant atmosphere, making for a lovely dining experience.
It’s clear that the chefs take pride in their craft and use only the freshest ingredients to create authentic and delicious dishes. I can’t wait to go back and try more.
I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and try different dishes. My husband wanted shrimp fried rice and we got chicken and corn soup, beef chow mein, half a duck, Chinese broccoli and mango pudding. My kids loved the mango pudding. I prefer fatter chow mein noodles myself but the soup was good and the mango pudding was good too. The Chinese broccoli was probably the tastiest dish we ordered. You can order it to be cooked a variety of ways but we just got the stir fried with garlic.
I didn’t add extra soy sauce or sauces to anything but my salt loving husband did and said it was good.
Overall, the food was fine. They forgot to give us bowls for our soup until a few minutes later (after bringing the big bowl to the table) when I got someone’s attention. Most restaurants bring bowls out right away when you order soup or already have them on the table so your soup doesn’t sit there and get cold when it comes out. Also, the mango pudding dessert was brought out with all the other food which is distracting to the kids who just want to eat dessert all day… it should be brought at the end when you are done with all the other food.
I do miss my old favorite dishes but it was ok. We probably won’t go as much as we used to though.
The floor wasn’t super clean (saw a crumpled napkin two tables over and a duck bone on the ground at the table next to us) and the entryway smelled like cigarette smoke.
Also we were seated immediately Saturday morning, despite how busy it seemed. It’s great that there’s additional rooms. Only problem is that folks are smoking right in front of the entrance and the smell wafts through the whole restaurant.
