The dim sum here are decent. Depending on what you order, some are good and some are just ok. The sign says $3.80 for 4 pieces of dumplings. $2.50 for the rice crepe roll. They sell other roasted meats here also. There’s a sign for the dim sum line to the right of the door, but when I got here at 9am on Saturday, there was no line at all. The shrimp dumpling, bbq pastry puff, taro puff and the shrimp crepe roll are pretty good. The other stuff has too thick of a dough around them. So they were ok.

When the food is fresh and not cold, it’s absolutely amazing. I’ve been here about 5 times, and 4/5 times have been phenomenal. This last time I went the food was cold, and the hagao (shrimp dumplings) were very soggy for some reason. I’ll still come back but be aware that it can be a hit or miss

Felt like they took advantage of me as they knew I am a tourist.

Do note, opens at 7 but don’t expect all dishes to be ready until around 7:30

This place is no joke! The dim sum here is the best in Oakland Chinatown. Ever since sum Yee pastry closed I was I need if a new dim sum spot. I stumbled upon this place while waiting for a Lyft. Everything is fresh and perfectly seasoned. I can’t wait to try more items from here!

I didn’t have high expectations when I walked in but I was wrong after tasting the food. I had veggie spring rolls, shrimp dumplings, chive dumplings, radish cake, and egg custard. They were as good as those from the dim sum restaurant. Veggie spring rolls might be a bit oily but it has the “correct” type of veggie found in typical HK handmade spring rolls; very good; just have to waste few tissue paper. Definitely will go back!

The name BIG dish is no joke. Less than $25 for the food in picture. Rice with chicken foot and spare rib is $4. You can have a lot of great food for very little money. I will go back every time I visit Oakland.

Would NOT recommend here The food was way too salty!! Not enough space to sit and eat, food was too dry as well. The chicken and duck was the worst I’ve ever tried in my life, it had a huge foul smell, the restaurant is so dirty and sticky floors, tables and service table HORRIBLE . Don’t ever come here!

This morning, my wife went to Oakland Chinatown ‘the Big Dish restaurant’ on the 9th Street / Webster to buy a roast duck and some roast pork to celebrate the first day of 2023. she opened the boxes , ready for the goodies at dinner time, SURPRISE !, we couldn’t find the duck Breast , the wings , the drumstick , instead the box was full of the neck bones , and the fatty junks.…the dinner was ruined….we were pissed….well A lesson learned on the first day of the new year. Check your order before you leave the shop ! Shame on that dishonest Asian employee .

This is my go-to dimsum takeout spot in Oakland. Cheap, convenient, and delicious. Their wait times are also pretty good compared with other spots in Chinatown. Staff are super helpful as well.
