Probably my favorite spot for a warm bowl of Chinese soup noodle in Oakland. I’ve been coming to this restaurant forever, perhaps almost 40 years and the foods are always consistently good since my first visit. If you’re looking for friendly service and family atmosphere the please give this little germ a try. The restaurant is small so it’s not suitable for a large party. Pictured is my favorite bowl: Roasted duck noodle soup. Credit cards accepted.

Our usual place (Joy Luck) was closed! So my Grandpa wanted to go two storefronts down to Gum Wah. It’s a big restaurant with lot of seating.
Like Joy Luck restaurant, Gum Wah is what Americans would call a hole in the wall (or to me, normal).
Before I ordered I saw what others were eating. It all looked so good. It was lunchtime and most people ordered lunch special items.
We got chow fun with prawn, rice porridge fish filet, yin yang fried rice, bitter melon lunch special and some typical beef string bean lunch special.
The chow fun was amazing. I loved it! It was so flavorful. It’s the saucy style chow fun I like too.
The rice porridge was tasty. It had plenty of fish and 1 whole egg (1000 yr old).
Bitter melon was good for bitter melon.
The yin yang fried rice was the dish I ordered, and it wasn’t to par. I was kind of sad. The rice seemed old/dry. The tomato sauce did not have much taste. I think I was unlucky!
I give this place 5 stars because I would get the chow fun again. Another customer had the black bean chow fun… I wanted it…
Would definitely go back!

Totally amazed that Gum Wah opens at 8:30am!
Grabbed lunch with pops here one late afternoon. We had the craving for roast duck. We walked into an empty restaurant with plenty of seating available.
They have a pretty standard Cantonese/Hong Kong menu.
We had…
Combination Meat Rice Plate (Soy Sauce Chicken, Roast Duck, Beef Brisket)
Chinese Broccoli
Roast Duck Wonton Noodle Soup
Everything was delicious!
Pay with cash, because paying with credit takes super long.
Service is good and quick.
Place is clean.
Prices are super cheap.
Good solid spot.

Old school hole in wall restaurant. Had my aunt not suggested their clay pots one day for brunch I would have never known they had such delicious vegetarian rice rolls. My favorite is mushroom and yellow chives. 1 order is so filling and affordable. Under $4 per order and you are stuffed after. Gotta love deals! Their rice plates and clay pots are delicious as well. Sadly I forgot to take pictures. Was super hungry and ate quick hehe will definitely remember to take pictures next time around.

Foods are all good. Beef rice noodle with too much meat. Congee is delicious. I saw how they make the thin rice sheet to wrap the fried stick – youtiao and ordered one: the sheet is great but fried stick is kind of hard. Service is affable. When I tried to get hot water for my ever-presence tea bottle and couldn’t, she said “oh you don’t know” and went on to show me.

They have great rice porridge offered at a very cheap price. I usually am very satisfied with just one bowl of their porridge. I would recommend the pork liver which is chewy and seasoned.
Their rice noodles are also very good; a great comfort food choice!

They have the best roast duck and bbq pork here. Food is cheap and always in big portions. Their wontons are always freshly made almost everyday and never frozen with a juicy shrimp in every wonton 🙂 This is definitely one of my top 2 favorite restaurants in chinatown.

This is my go to for Chinese porridge. Some porridge places are sheisty with the meat or other fillings in their porridge, but not this place. They give you a good amount of toppings at a really good price. And of course they boil the heck out of that rice, and so you get beautiful cooked down pieces of rice swimming in watery rice broth. Topped off with ginger and cilantro. It’s pure class. Classy congee made in a hole in a wall. Dunk in pieces of the youtiao (donuts/cruller) and you’re golden! My favorite is the sampan, but all of them are pretty yummy.

We have frequented this great establishment for 35 Years. We first discovered it when living in San Leandro, and the great food recalls us regularly, even after moving to Stockton in 1983. Well worth the time. Suggest the parking garage between Webster and Fulton.

Amazing meal ! We ordered the Thai mussels – mussels are THE thing to order here, they come in 4 different sauce options, only $16 per plate and each order has enough mussels for a whole meal. We shared an order and were full with just that 🙂
