Really good food, very fresh. I ordered the chicken fried rice as takeout, chicken was fresh and juicy, not overcooked and the taste was spot on. Goes well with the included hot sauce which is mildly hot. Ambience is not great as it is a warehouse neighborhood, recommend food as takeout.

I was finally able to try this restaurant today, I traveled from Pittsburg via BART just to try it. I was at Jack London Square last week, I attempted to try it, but they had already closed. First, I must say that the staff is very friendly, provide service with a smile, efficient. They fix your order when you place it, food is fresh, not sitting under heating lights. I got the Chicken Fried Rice that everyone ranted and raved about in the reviews. It was $14.00 for a medium sized take out container. It tasted okay, but I was anticipating better. I ate some there, took the rest home. It was full of Chicken breast, a bit dry, very little vegetables and barely any egg. I was also surprised by the prices on the website, the items are much cheaper by at least $6.00. I realize the cost of living has gone up, and they have to charge more. It would be helpful if they update your menu/prices so new customers won't be blind sided. Especially, since they only accept cash payments. This was not my favorite so, I won't be going back, do not recommend.

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!

I was in Oakland Chinatown for a bazaar. Since it was during lunch time, I stopped in at this restaurant. So many choices on the menu. I ordered a dish that I haven't had in over 12 years. Eats: Shrimp and scrambled eggs over rice. It was yummy delicious. The portion was generous with at least 10 pieces of shrimp. Beverage: a pot of hot tea. Weather was cold. The freshly prepared food was comforting and soothing. Future visit? Yes, to try other items on the menu.

The soups always hit at Yung Kee!!!! I always come here for the roasted duck soup with egg noodles, and this time did not disappoint. It’s simple but rich and delicious. My family’s favorite was the Wor Won Ton; it was filled with all kinds of delicious goodies including won ton, shrimp, chicken, Chinese sausage, squid, and bok choy. Super flavorful and filling. We also tried the Mixed Vegetables, which was alright but not a stand out. The atmosphere is casual and small business

I stopped by this cute diner to get a coffee to go alongside my pastries items I picked up from a shop nearby. The drink options are limited and don’t expect to be able to customize your coffee. Trust me. You won’t regret getting the ice coffee here. The store owner was right when she said it is VERY good. It tastes similar to a Vietnamese ice coffee but better (milky, sweet, bold coffee aftertaste). The decor/branding could use improvement but with mom/pop shops like these; the expectation is you go in for the good food/drinks and be left alone. I enjoyed the simplicity of the mindset. Place accepts cash and Venmo. I am not sure about cards. Though with small shops like these I tend to give cash because of the service fees shops are charged for cards.

Authentic HK style breakfast for $10! what a deal! Friendly service from the aunties that can't beat the ambience Milk tea is on the weaker side though Cash Only!!!

Really enjoyed our visit! Maybe family run? They seem to speak Cantonese and Mandarin. The herbal soups were good! We tried #8 and #11 chicken with ginseng. Both tasted healthy but I think I preferred #8 a little more. The soups are in the little cylindrical ceramic containers and make a good appetizer/side dish. Fun to get as a part of one of their special combos. The special dim sum of garlic clams was tasty and pretty fresh. Excellent value for $6.50! Enjoyed the sticky rice too - well balanced flavors and not overly salty. The beef tendon with noodles was tender and had a good texture. A smidge salty for my taste but flavorful and a good size. Fast & friendly service - there was a bit of confusion about how many soups we ordered but got it sorted out. The bathroom seems to be upstairs so might be a challenge if there are mobility limitations. Look forward to trying other dishes next time!

This place slaps my taste buds, I got lamb noodle soup (flavor), beef shank over rice noodles (succulent), shrimp dumplings (delicate), the chicken buns (the best). Get a rice or noodle dish and the all day dim sum

I came for the dim sum lunch with a friend who had never had dim sum before. This place is very authentic and we both thought everything was delicious. My favorite items were the crispy shrimp balls, steamed pork buns, short ribs, and the steamed egg custard buns.

Large, spacious well-run restaurant. I sat toward the back and did tea service, staff were very attentive. We went on the earlier side Sunday AM (10:30am) so we did not have to wait. The beef baked bun in particular was my favorite - flaky, soft and nice balance of salty/sweet. Loved all the dishes we ordered, and will be adding this to my list of regular dim sum spots!

Many of my favorite dim sum spots have closed over the years, and thankfully, we found Ming's Tasty, and I will keep coming back. The service is excellent! The food is delicious! Be sure to have the chicken feet with Peking sauce. Thank you Ming's for many delicious meals.

A classic authentic Chinese cafe with delicious quality dim sum. Service was friendly and fast. You know it’s good when all the Chinese folks eat here. It was a little loud and busy at lunch but soon was quiet and relaxed, even though all the tables were full. This will be my go-to spot in Oakland.

They have a good lunch deal for 2 entree items for $7 and a bunch of fruit outside but the prices are not great compared to nearby options

Always good in a pinch. Fried chicken legs & ribs are a standout. Go between 11am and 2pm for best results.

Our friend's favorite for porridge. We also ordered crispy chow mein and stir-fried veggies. Tasty and generous portions.

I ordered takeout from New Gold Medal Restaurant and had the Hot & Sour Soup, Baked Pork Chops, and half of a roasted duck. Everything was really tasty. I was surprised by the generous amount of ingredients in the hot and sour soup! The pork chops smelled amazing and tasted even better. The roasted duck was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. They also have a lot of selections on their menu.

Simple, no MSG, economical, HK style. I bought two dinners. The portions are big - more than enough for more 3 people for less than $30 total. Difficult to beat the price for the amount of food in these days. It does not have an after-eat thrust as they do not use MSG. The taste is decent enough. Nothing fancy but practical.

Its a small mom and pop location decently priced. I got the dinner special,Okay so the sesame chicken tastes like old oil,the flavor was not so bad but you can taste like the old oil so harder pieces. the noodles were definitely overcooked as well as the veggies in it you could tell how they looked and the texture and they also were on the Bland side Broccoli and beef was a little bit better some pretty okay flavoring the meat was tender but the broccoli was a little bit overcooked *they did accommodate me and change the order from Mongolian beef to the broccoli beef )so I definitely appreciate that they're chicken and corn soup was the best thing flavorful and nice pieces of chicken and nice piece of corn and egg their Fried Chicken potstickers were a little bit too fried/burnt for me overall the place wasn't super bad I'd probably give them another try just to see if maybe it was an off day. (Ps it is forth of july) Get the chicken and corn soup it's a big portion size for a decent price.

Apparently it used to be a restaurant, but it’s now a bakery. Breads are very mediocre. Cakes and buns are ok. The white milk bread loaf is not good. It’s soft but quite chewy in a bad way, even fresh.

Wonderful restaurant. Although they have a bakery portion, they still serve noodle dishes. As a noodle fiend, I love their river snail noodles. How to describe it? Don't let the name deter you. It's like a melody of different contrasting textures and flavors, from the sour bamboo to the condiments and hearty broth, and as a whole, bursting full of flavor. It's a perfect combo with their soy milk. Yum! The restaurant staff always are so friendly too.

I've passed by this spot many times during my lunch walks and finally got a chance to try it! I usually get Guilin rice noodles from other places in the area, so I was excited to see another option. I ordered the A1 House Special Pot-Roasted Guilin Rice Noodles with marinated beef, beef tripe, and crispy pork. I really enjoyed it, the flavors were great, the portion size was generous (I could probably split it into two meals), and the price was very affordable. The only downside is that the dish was a bit greasy, but I appreciated the bowl of clear broth they provided to balance it out.

Edited Jan 2025: I started coming here soon after it opened and my year end credit card summary shows this was in my top 10 merchants where I made the most transactions in 2024 haha. Can't recommend enough! I usually get the A4 dry noodle, once I got the soup noodle and it was also very good. I always add the dried chili sauce to the dry noodle, which makes it even better.
