East Ocean Seafood Restaurant

Loved the service and atmosphere. Within minutes of being seated, we were already ordering plenty of food from the carts. One standout was a black shrimp dumpling that was fried — unique and my favorite of the dishes. We also enjoyed the Chinese donuts (sa young bao) and the black sesame jelly rolls. Everything came out fresh and flavorful. Would definitely come back!

We had a year-end celebration at this newly remodeled, spacious restaurant on a bustling street in northern Alameda. The dim sum dishes and Chinese food were delicious, with generous portions. We like the salty pepper crab 🦀 and various dim sum dishes. The chrysanthemum tea was very refreshing with a flowery flavor. The staff were friendly and helpful. We shall come again.

We came here for the first time and overall had a great experience. Some dim sum dishes were delicious, others were just okay, but the variety is huge and definitely worth exploring. The food was fresh, the flavors were good, and I’d happily come back to try more.

Our first time making a reservation at East Ocean for Christmas dinner. When we arrived, there was a large walk-in crowd already waiting to be seated. The dining room is extremely spacious, nicely decorated and lit. The atmosphere was very inviting and festive which was a good start to our family holiday. We had to wait to get our multiple dishes for our larger table but there is a reason why this restaurant is packed. Our cocktails were very yummy and nicely garnished. Every plate, both veggie and protein-based, was super delicious. We had the black mushroom and sea cucumber clay pot and it was perfectly cooked. The mu shu pork was fantastic and so was the tofu ma po. The few dim sum we ordered were gone just as soon as they hit the table. Mango pudding made with real mango and the kids

Went for dim sum in a Friday, no waiting. Just order from the menu with an occasional person walking around for pastries or dessert items. When ordering rice, ask for it in advance. Otherwise you may get it towards the end of your meal.
