Peony Seafood Restaurant

From the first moment you arrive in that place the waiters give you a good feeling. Very hospitable waiters, it is a nice place to pass time with friends or with your date. very good food, skillful chef, honest cost and courteous service. Warmly recommended.

This is the place to go for dim sum in Oakland Chinatown. Some food comes around on carts and you can order your favorites from the menu. The food comes quickly and they usually have a few very inexpensive specials. It’s a vast restaurant with many rooms. Favorite dishes are shrimp and chive dumplings and shrimp with rice noodles.

Palatial decor with special tearoom. Great venue for large banquet as well as simple family gathering. Great dim sum lunch. Lots of variety. All the standard steamed dumpling dishes, plus more. Try the pan fried rice noodle rolls. For dinner, our must have is the smoked black cod. Also on our favorite list are the steamed tofu in a basket; typhoon style Dungeness crab; squab; and crispy fried chicken. Steamed fish with ginger and scallions is always great, but do ask for price. Some exotic fish can run up the bill significantly, though many seafood aficionados would gladly pay these prices. If you park your car in the parking garage beneath the restaurant, they will validate your parking token right before you leave. Just make sure you drive out within the effective time.

Pretty good Chinese style Dim Sum restaurant. Better if you can speak Cantonese, but not required. Take out one star due to frequency in bathrooms maintained.

Awesome dim sum spot! Huge and beautiful restaurant with kind service and amazing food. We ordered shrimp noodle roll, shrimp dumplings, Sui Mai, cilantro dumplings, custard bun, and sweet potato bun. All was great.
