One of the best places for truly authentic Chinese food in Oakland Chinatown.
We ordered the deep fried stuffed bean cake, the won-ton soup, and asked for our salt & pepper wings to be fried. 10s across the board. The best won-ton soup I’ve had so far in Oakland.
They have pretty good food here. They have fairly quick service (or maybe I always go at the right time). They have a downstairs and upstairs.This is the where Sun Hong Kong used to be.Their order of dumplings is very reasonable, and actually the most dumplings Ive ever seen in an order. Their BBQ pork isnt overly fatty. Their Singapore noodles is also a decent sized plate.
Good sized portions and really really fast service. All of the dishes I’ve had there nail the style and the ingredients are fresh. Two areas with seating so don’t get discouraged by looking from outside of it seems busy.
On our typical trek to Oakland and eating at glod medal and our favorite smoothie tea shop golden tea shop.Just stopped by after coming back from Yosemite area for sledding. Wanted something soothing and hot from the cold weather and long drive.
Just came here for a quick lunch as we were just visiting the area. I didn’t realise how expensive everything is. A plate of roast pork rice was about $16…wow. A plate like this would be about $5 in Singapore. Albeit smaller in portion. American size portions is really really bigger than anywhere else in the world.
The duck wonton noodle soup is to die for. Clean and clear broth not overly fatty. The hot tea when walking in is so welcoming. I will definitely be back to try other dishes. Only gripe is that it is pricey. Im from Sacramento and the prices here are easily $2 -$4 more than what I normally pay, I guess its expected seeing as were in the bay.
The Duck with the sauce was delicious 😋.Honey Walnut prawns were incredible.Not soggy, just crunchy and not all mayonnaisey like some places.
This is a Chinese Chinese restaurant. As you walk in door you have your choices of duck served 2 or 3 different ways. Pork roasted or barbecue or spare ribs. Beef stew, lamb or tongue or tripe. Long or short Chinese donuts. Then there might be other dishes covered to ask about. This is northern style foods. Not so much seafood but excellent meat dishes. The added grace ... they are open to 3am every day except Tuesday closing at 12 am. Service and decor are provincial Chinese style which means you are there for the good not a fancy decor. There used to be more late night restaurants but Covid-19 closed some of them.Unexpectedly we had to wait 3 extra hours for a relative coming by train from LA. I got 2 orders of duck Congee and an order of sautéed mustard greens at 12am. Everyone was grateful to be able to get a meal at that hour.Stop at the counter, especially late at night. They might have run out of some prepared stews or meats. Just do a work around. No lamb get a Beef or pork or chicken they will be just as good.If you think you will like a more traditional take on northern style Chinese food spend a few extra minutes learning what has been prepared for that day.Parking in China town looks difficult it isnt. Double park and usually someone will leave in a few minutes.
This place is in Oakland Chinatown for me any years At least over 35 years. Food is good. I remember back in the old days,it closed at 3;00AM to cater late night bar goers from Jack London square.However,after pandemic,call and ask for business hours if you plan for midnight meal. Food mainly Chinese like roast ducks,char sui,congee,chow fun,won ton noodles etc. A la carte dishes also served. Credit cards accepted. Lets Support Oakland Chinatown. Than you for your support. Thank you Google give me a chance to voice my voice.
Got bbq pork to go and ordered rice with soy sauce chicken and wonton soup. Wonton soup lacked flavor but overall ok.
-EVERYTHING IS GOOD HERE -THE PEOPLE ARE RESPECTFUL -THE RESTAURANT IS OPEN LATE TILL 3AM MOST DAYS.
We were travel to Northern California. Went to Oakland at 8.30pm. We want Asian food. Find Chinatown. Many stores and restaurants in Chinatown are closed. Saw a restaurant with an open sign still open. We entered the restaurant and saw it was not busy. They write that the best food is BBQ. We ordered roast duck. Seafood Tofu Claypot and perking pork chops . Roast duck is very greasy. Perking pork chops are sour. Seafood pot is ok.
Open late, solid takeout, huge selection of food, great char siu – its got pretty much everything youd want from a local Chinese takeout spot. Other restaurants in Chinatown do different things better, and I havent enjoyed every dish Ive tried from here (their soups are a bit too salty), but this place wins for reliability.
Decent. Nothing especially good or bad.Flavors were good but not amazing.Prices are high but the portions are large to match.I liked the food but I guess when I ordered beef chow mein with vegetables I expected more than a few uncut bok choy leaves as vegetables.If this place tightened up its game, it could be a solid 4 star.
Worst service ever! Ridiculously and TOTALLY OVERPRICED and not even because of the pandemic. My grandson wanted his food warmed up because they brought him cold food. Guy threw his plate in front of him. Of course I was livid! I told the lady at the counter and not only was she as rude as her employees, she act like she didn’t understand what I said, mind you she saw her worker throw that plate at my grandson on the table. 3rd time we came to buy duck in the last 3 months and was charged $30 which looked like it wasn’t a whole duck (see pictures) when I put it in the pot to warm it up. My family has patronize their business for over 20+ years and needless to say we will never ever do so after today. Two thumbs down 👎 👎
This is your classic chinese place. Delicious food, sticky tables (Im just kidding, partially), the whole gamut. Im commenting more on the vibe rather than the food itself, because the food was pretty standard prices and taste. I tried the egg rolls and egg foo young.There was a cool display case out front, and a lobster tank in the back. The whole place stays open really late, so thats also a pro. Definitely come and visit if you want traditional American Chinese food. Im sure its authentic.
Great joint for late night. Food tastes delicious and quality to price ratios are perfect. Portions are generous and its a Chinese restaurant. Its going to be loud, so dont think about bringing business talk here.
Enjoyed our meal soooo GOOD had Ginger Crab w/Scallions, Broccoli Beef, & Shrimp Fried Rice♥️❤️😍🥰
A Fave that’s open super later (like 3am) in the east bay. So if you’re hungry, got the munchies or leaving the club...this is your spot: Located in downtown Oakland in the heart of Chinatown. The staff is FAST and super friendly. The food is Ahhhmazing, they literally chop the meat in the front window (for your viewing pleasure) Duck, Pork etc. We ordered Wonton (handmade with pork n shrimp inside) noodle soups. Kysa got the Shrimp and I got the BBQ Pork both equally yummy. Pick your poison.
We have been coming to this restaurant for over 30 years. We frequented this establishment during college, in our early adult years, when the kids were growing up and now. Food has been reliable, consistent and delicious. More expensive now, like all establishments due to inflation and maybe Im more noticeable of the amount of salt they use since Im older now. Nonetheless, our favorite dish has always been the crispy fried noodle chow mein combo. I love it then, my kids fight over it still and truly we will drive 40 mins for this dish. I highly recommend this place especially if you are in the area. Parking is tough but, its in Oakland Chinatown.
Pay attention to the cook after hours I came to this restaurant around 10:30 p.m. the cook is very rude this restaurant do not like African-American people she told me to go home and was being very until I showed her my badge that I was off-duty officer then she started to be nice if youre African-American be conscious of this place pay attention
The fried rice is so-so. The pot stickers had too much dough at the folds. Had take out, cant rate service
Food was good, the atmosphere was authentically Chinese, busy and loud. I enjoyed the Mongolian beef and roasted pork quite a lot! The sweet green beans dessert was a nice treat.
Great food .. everyone found something they enjoyed!!
This has been one of my favorite more authentic style restaurants in Oakland Chinatown for some time. They will even bring your order to your car if its raining, no where to park etc. At least they do for me but Im somewhat a regular, and my order is usually $$$. I have one concern recently on two occasions when I had late night cravings. I ordered my usual stuff and it was all off 😶. I told the staff about it and they said maybe they were very busy or maybe the night Chef👀.Since I dont have time for monkeyshine... I will stick to ordering before 5pm when Ive never had a problem in 20+ years.
Ive been eating in this restaurant for years. They cook real good. My faves are the roast duck with rice and their beef with soft bean curd with rice. Their fried noodles are very good as well. The good thing about this place? Theyre open until the morning. Like3 am at the latest. 😎👍
Great food great service. Nice seating area.
Best after Hours Spot till 3am in China Town Oakland #BombFood 💯
Fresh great Chinese food.. I visited when I be in Oakland
Have been customer for many years and can suggest it without hesitation.Food is not fancy but it is tasteful and honest in size. The restaurants Decor and food presentation could be improved but again flavor will make you not pay attention to it for too long. I usually order 3 items that will last 2 days and feed two. Menu is extensive, plenty to choose from.It is open past midnight so many people comes in for a late /early meal after going out.You also order for pickup or delivery.Parking during the day is a challenge since it is located in the heart of Oakland Chinatown.One of my favorite restaurants.
This place quickly became one of our favorite late-night dining spots. The BBQ pork fried rice is perfect. We also enjoyed the salt & pepper ribs and the Generals chicken. Also, the hot tea is so good to have on those chilly Oakland nights.
I got a won ton soup which I did not like. It was missing flavor and the meats are inside the wontons not separated. Others seem to like it because people were coming in and out. But price was to high for the soup I got. Parking is a hassle and there is jot much for handicap access.
Great Cantonese comfort food. Congee with deep fried rice stick, wonton noodle soup, lunch rice plates, fried rice, bbq pork (cha siu), roast pig (siu yuk), roast duck, soy sauce chicken. Great place for casual family dining. Excellent stir fried dishes, seafood, seasonal Chinese veggies. An extensive menu, plus specials posted on the wall. Friendly staff. Does takeouts. It’s a must every time we visit Oakland.
The server and food were horrible. I love roasted duck and I thought what better place than Chinatown. The duck was mainly fat and had no flavor. Then there were feather follicles I took to be parasites sticking out of the meat. The rice was hard and tasted like it had been made the day before and the tea had no flavor. The server was unpleasant and was trying to rush me out. Im sure other dishes are good and theyre normally nice, but my experience has turned me off from this place. However, the cashier lady was extremely nice.
Oh my God this place was great they had the best shrimp noodle soup I went there with a friend of mine it was really good Ill be back
The duck looked good but it was by far the greatest duck Ive ever had in my life. there was literally 90% fat and 10% meat. usually its more like 50/50. My friend said he would go back but I couldnt even eat it. I had to go home and finish cooking it in the air fryer. 2 ducks plus rice and gratuity was $70. We were gonna eat out. So I paid $10 gratuity at time of purchase. Then my friend wanted to eat there. And we got absolutely no table service of any kind. I was very disappointed. I had to go find somebody to ask for water.
My brother introduced me to this tasty place. Things I love there: Crispy pork, chicken feet, chicken chow mane, hot and sour soup, fried rice and all of their vegetable dishes. This is the place I take my family unless we are out of town. I love this place, their people that work there and especially their food!😀
So great that I came back twice in one day! Lots of different selections and entrees are available to order here. The place is always packed but the wait is almost non-existent. However, if you are looking for a place that is aesthetically pleasing, this isn’t gonna be the right place for you. The atmosphere is very casual with a no frills attitude. I recommend any of their rice plates, lots of food at a decent price as well. Their Chicken Fried Rice and Short Ribs are really tasty as well. This place is also open until 2am, and it was located really close to the Marriott I was staying at so it’s perfect for a late night bite as well.
Food is always predictably delicious with warm and friendly services.
Shrimp fried rice their salt pepper squid and their sauted green beans in garlic sauce are delicious
Killer food. The sizzling beef was awesome. And they are open late so that helps when you have a late flight into Oakland
I only been to this place once after watching the show at Yoshi. The food is not bad but the congee is not my favorite.One thing I noticed is that there are lots of people coming in at late hours. I believe trying it again will be the best way to judge this place. Although the roast duck is not bad.Going to this place will be an issue for me because I live in Daly City.
Great service. Food is about average for Chinese.
Everytime i visit downtown, i make sure i come to eat in this place even thou paid parking
My dads favorite places to go eat.Down town Oakland China town.My dad been going for years. The best food.I had lunch there today 2 27 2019

Gold medal restaurant has the worst roast pork I ever had in northern California. The skin has no crunch, the meat was hard and some wes stiles. Wont go there again.
Great eats reasonable pricing and open late night
Great food. I stopped in early on Christmas Eve and picked up some BBQ pork and roasted duck because it looked really good hanging in the window - and it was! I also ordered some takeout. They said it would take 10 minutes but it was ready in about 5. Really fast! They were genuinely courteous as well - even though Im white. That sounds wrong but in Chinatown its pretty rare.
Great late night eatery. Friendly staff. Apparently watch your cars ~~~
Best chashu in town. I get them by the pounds all the time. I also like the gold medal fried rice - one order feeds me for 3 meals!
Amazing!!! Everything we got was amazing! It was busy but organized and clean! Great to see people dining in too. Great food here! The duck, shrimp and noodles are a hit!
Very good won ton soup here. I ordered one with roasted duck. It came in the soup and rendered the crispy skin a little soggy. I didnt care and pretended I was savage and gobbled it up quickly.
Has been my restaurant since the 90s from one owner to the other and my family loves the food. Although some times the service is no great. The food is fantastic. I drive all the way from Antioch just to eat there food once a month and sometimes my family take the train for fun..
We went to Oakland China Town to support local businesses in light of recent violence in the area. We randomly selected this place and were pleasantly surprised. We chose a roasted duck and two pieces of BBQ pork. Both the roast duck and BBQ pork were excellent. It was hard not to snack on the way home with the wonderful smells in the car. We made pork fried rice for a side dish to have with the duck.
Just had a hot bowl of abalone and chicken 🐓 porridge at NGM, yes a 5 star bowl. Thx NGM! Come down early to shop for fresh vegetables and Asian pantry on the same block.
Late night wonton soup is legit, though other dishes on the menu leave much to be desired. Some soups are overly goopy with starch, like the duck soup. As the place open latest though, Ive stopped in many times for a late night hot meal.
UPDATE 2022: CHECK YOUR BILL BEFORE YOU TIP THEY MIGHT ADD AN ADDITIONAL %15 SERVICE CHARGE ON TOP OF THE TAX AND THE MEAL PRICE.This place is good. I know nothing about chinese cuisine. But i can recognize good cooking like common sense. All flavors balanced, served hot and fresh, not too oily, not too dry. Straight up thoughtful preparation. The quality and service has been execellent every time I come here. Been showin up here at random hours in the night for over 8 years.
I love this place because they are open late I think until 2am on some days. I’m African and I just say this place has amazing shrimp fried rice just the rice is just so good. Everybody there is extremely friend we go after the club with our friends and some are intoxicated but they are super cool and made sure everybody was good.
Solid cantonese chinese food. This has been a staple for years in Oakland, during the pandemic I try to give them as much business as possible. Their beef chow fun with gravy is always on point, the combination (beef, chicken, pork and seafood) pan fried noodle still tastes like I remember 10 years ago from my drunk night of clubbing days lol
Best Rice Crepes in SF Bay Area, Duck still tasty but not #1This place has been one of my favorite secret spots in the Bay. The boss lady behind the counter is to-the-point but always efficient and their rice crepes are top notch. They also used to have one of my favorite roast ducks but changed the recipe a few months back... The lobster noodle special is tempting, but quality isnt the same. They really shine the most with their roasted meats.
Very authentic Chinese food restaurant open late at night. Staff is friendly, the menu is large but the item descriptions are very accurate. Its not fancy in any way which just adds to the appeal for me. I ordered the shrimp and vegetable noodle soup. The broth was delicious, the vegetables where bok choy, carrots and mushrooms and there where a generous number of shrimps. The serving I got in general was a generous size and could easily be shared or half taken for leftovers, making the price of the dish quite reasonable. I get off work late at night so its a great place for me to sit dow, relax and have a hot meal after a long days work.
Not great flavor or execution here, and Im someone who really enjoys a good greasy late night Chinese place. Lemon chicken tastes like cough syrup. Flavor on Walnut shrimp is decent, but not crispy at all.
Really enjoyed the BBQ Pork.
No frills restaurant with freshly cooked and delicious chinese cuisine. The flavor found within their dishes and numerous selections make up for the lack of ambiance! Give them a try, you wont be disappointed.
I have gotten take out from here and has been consistently good. Unfortunately I made the mistake of eating in this time. Because we have a party of 5 they tacked on a 15% tip to the bill, but provided no service besides ordering and I had to box up the leftovers myself. (I normally tip 20 to 25% at restaurants) Food here is a solid 3.5
Got takeout on Christmas, so wasnt expecting a whole lot, but food was surprisingly good. I am a meat eater but my partner isnt so we got a mix of vegetarian and meat dishes, but the veggie chow mein had meat in it which we didnt realize till we had already left. Mongolian beef was flavorful but not spicy (wish it had been spicier). Fried prawns were more shrimp sized. All this would be fine if the price wasnt pretty much double what a this-quality Chinese place is. ($15 for Mongolian beef?!)
I used to eat there before i found a better place to eat, much more delicious food. New Gold medal used to be good until the food tasted nasty and salty, their customer service suck too, like their in a hurry and not enough time to help customers.I just recently ordered chew fun, fried tofu, and chicken fried rice and guess what, their food is very salty and their chicken fries rice does not look anything like fries rice and on top of that, they cant take a correct order.
Not a good photo but a very good meal try the Oyster and Pork clay pot
Legendary locals spot, late night after a night at the bars with friends. Salt and pepper prawns on hit, Hong Kong style noodles.
So first time I came here, I was not fully there... In that I just celebrated my birthday and drinks were involved. The next day I was able to enjoy the leftovers. Probably not as good as the night before, but whatever I was still satisfied. Came back recently in the daytime, and I was able to really enjoy the food sober. Love the thin chow mein noodles, the peking duck, and the chicken wings! What is also cool about this place, is that it is open really late (til 2am I believe). So after a night out or if you are just having the munchies super late in the evening, this is a good place to go.
Exactly what I expected and wanted: greasy, fatty, salty and delicious. It is inexpensive and not fancy at all.
They were cool to be open late but come on the chicken was none existent. Plus it tasted like oil rice . Oil and rice . I even tipped.......
Got braised noodles with vegetables and oyster sauce from here today around 11:30 PM after my work shift. got it to-go. didn’t realize it was a soup-based dish. noodles came in container separate from broth. I dipped the noodles into the broth as I went along and it was perfect. broth had amazing depth in flavor and was a perfect pick-me-up. beautifully steamed bok choy. came with chili oil. I feel really good after eating it.
Great restaurant. Very authentic. Breakfast for 10 dollars a person. Also, they offer char siu and rice for a quick lunch.Good dinner selection with fresh fish. Close at 3 am.
Make no mistake, this is a restaurant. Not a humble cafe. The food is delicious, hot when served, the portions are generous; so bring a big appetite or you will be bringing leftovers home. Interesting if frenetic decor, friendly staff, free WiFi.
I love their Chinese food. I normally order the Beef Chow fun or Seafood Fried Noodles. Its yummy and I love how they stay open until late. They are in the heart of Oakland CHinatown so getting there on public transportation and easily accessible by car if you park inside a parking lot near the restaurant.
Food is good. Counter service is bad. To go food cant use your your own container. An old lady from China speaks Cantonese always claim his uncle owns New Gold Medal Restaurant. Cant order food from her if shes not in a good mood or just want to bully people who looks vulnerable. Every thing changed after shes in charge.
Keeps your group vibe going after the let out. Food comes out fast and its very good for a late night option.
My family and I come here often. Very delicious food and fast service at a reasonable price. I have a cousin who works not too far from here and eats here quite often for lunch. This place can get busy, though. Bonus, theyre open late.
Best roast duck wonton soup for miles around. Duck is always fresh, seasoned properly with nice crispy skin. Wontons are plump with bits of shrimp. One of the few oak town Chinatown opened late with good consistent food. Even service was good today, it can be hit or miss as is most Chinese establishments.
This is a staple of China Town. They serve all the classic dishes late into the evening and have fast take out service and decent prices. My go-to for tomato beef over crispy fried noodles and wonton noodle soup and jook too.
Its a great casual dining place for good Cantonese meals, from congees to barbeque meats to finer fresh seafood and meat dishes. It is also one of the very few places to find my favorite Cantonese fried sweet dough 牛脷酥 that goes especially well with congees. Its open till 3 am. So it is also a nice place for late night meals.
The environment of this restaurant is very bad. Too noisy. Especially, the customers are drinking wine and beer or the owner friends and owner join the dinner or long term customers. They talk too loud, laugh too much.The sevice is not very good. One of the waiters always complains about the Mayor of City of Oakland in front of me. This waiter has a bad attitude and impolite to the some customers. He made mistakes about our order. He did not say sorry, and complained me that I made mistake. He got angry with me in front of the manager and customers. The prices of the meals are very expensive and quality of the food are ok.I give this restaurant is only 2 stars.
Walnut shrimp was very good! And their won ton noodle soup was good just as well. Good feast after night out in downtown. Happy with my friends choice of late night munchies ehehe the way to end a fun night
The cashier woman has terrible problem! She asked me about my income and keeps trying to push me to buy more food with I have told her I dont want it. I told her I dont need that much but she wouldnt give me the amount I need. She force me to take the amount she put in the box.Terrible service! Definitely be careful with this kind of seller that ask about your privacy then trying to force you to buy.
Ever since my husband and I saw that gigantic roach walking up the wall, I havent been back. The food was always good though, if you dont mind the roaches. I guess they have to eat too!! Good luck!
I am not familiar with the culture but the food was awesome and the workers were very efficient and understanding
Ridiculous BBQ duck, and I grew up in Hong Kong. So good with white rice and the soy sauce that comes with the dish. Make sure you ask for plum sauce (they dont always give it to you). I recommend just ordering half or an entire duck. BBQ pork is also really good a.k.a char siu.
I come here pretty frequent. First, if youre expecting a clean restaurant, friendly service, clean chairs and spotless tables, forget it! If youre interested in good, quality and fairly inexpensive Chinese food, then read further.This restaurant has been around for quite some time. Its your typical traditional chinese restaurant, not a PF Chang. In the evening, youll most likely see one of their waiters sitting in one of the back tables wrapping wontons. Staff wise, theyre friendly and if you ask for anything theyll give it to you, but dont expect them to walk around the restaurant and refill your tea kettle.One of my favorites here is the soy sauce noodles. Its a simple thin noodles with onions, scallions and, bean sprouts, and green onion. What makes this stand out compared to other restaurant is that its not greasy (other places, the noodles will be shiny like lip gloss, or on the bottom of the box, theres a puddle of oil), they give you a very big box, its made fresh and hot with a wok and cost less than $7.00.Another one of my favorite is their roast duck. Its price is pretty much the same as other restaurants, but I like theirs best is they use just the right amount of spice and rub; other places, they use too much of the star anise an it over powers everything. Theyre peking ribs is another one of my favorite and again they give you a full box.If you want good food, do what I do; order from here, and get it to go!
Parking was easy, we were seated immediately, and everything we ordered was on point!French onion soup - pretty traditional, nothing out of the ordinary.. which is a good thing because this classic needs no reinvention.
I like this place their food is usually good but my car was being broken into the last time I came I will not be going back its not worth it
Had better experiences in past trips and were fairly rude tonight honesty... makes me wish there was a grocery store of quality open late in Oakland, which we discussed at table! Paying good $ for b grade food is one thing, but making me feel I need to beg for it is another quite frankly. Food is a notch below solid, and glad they r open late, just be a bit more chill please...
Great to have a place open til 3 AM, Weds. through Mon.. Good food, I like the Salt and Pepper Squid, Chow Fun and the BBQ Pork.
Good food reasonable prices and big portions what more could u ask 4. They are open late as well
Driving into Oakland Chinatown for take-out from quiet suburban Pleasant Hill was like being in a convoy driving through Kabul. But, I was craving Singapore Rice Noodles, Won Ton- Noodle Soup, and Raw Fish Congee so badly I cinched up the chin strap of my steel pot helmet and drove into Oakland aka: Croakland.I have been a steady diner of the New Gold Medal Restaurant for over 20 years. It is my Go To place for Hong Kong Style Cantonese Food.
I had to wait 30 min for my food. Service was okay. No parking validation here. The Claypot rice with meat was good. We also ordered cooked green book choy, but you could tell it was a little old. We also got the bbq platter with cha su and roasted pork which were high in fat but delicious
I got my favorite Beef and Egg over Rice. 😋🤤❤
Went with a big party last minute and they were able to accommodate us plus the wait wasnt too long. We thought the service was exceptional and the staff were very friendly plus welcoming. Our parties favorite had to be the wonton soup and the roasted pig. Definitely recommend to all.
Probably the worst Chinese restaurant in Oakland Chinatown. The food is flat out bad, but maybe to other non Chinese people they taste good. But for me they charge higher price than others and nasty tasting food. I will stay away.
This is a busy spot open late at night, too, which I like when I want some good authentic Chinese food.
Delicious place. The price is reasonable and the quantity of the food is dependable. Been coming to this place for 15 years and it is one of my family’s go to place for congee, roast duck, and chicken!
Incredible duck, very suculent braised beef, and the beef chow fun had the flavor that you will only get with a very old, seasoned Wok on high heat (smokey, spicy, and full of flavor). Amazing
Bad service...I got sesame chicken the sauce was like thick corn syrup in my plate...it was so temperature hot that I could nit eat it for 10 min...when I did eat it the chicken was hard and dry....smh...fried rice was bland...the worse part is when I sent it back I showed him how thick the sauce was abd the waiter told me dont touch the food like that and snatched it out of my hand! Ive been going here for years and never had this service or the awful food I had that day...The person that I was with also sent the entree they had back...I wont be coming back...Funny tho the food asian people ordered looked great as I remember...Or mabey its just me...
Great late night drunk eats. Gold medal along with tacos mi rancho Is one of the only places to get a late night meal that is not fast food. Just remember you get what you pay for, and for a place that is open till 3:00am beggars cant be choosers
Solid Chinese place; not Chinese-American. They do offer some Chinese-American dishes, but I would stick to the Chinese dishes. Food is consistent and service is good for a Chinese restaurant. I would not say that this is an inexpensive place. I love the salt and pepper squid dish!
They are open late and very friendly. I order them Mongolian beef and it was delicious!
Its open late, so its a good alternative after a night out and not wanting to eat Jack in the Box.Food is standard Chinese. BUT AVOID THE SALT AND PEPPER SQUID AT ALL COSTS. Ugh, I know I was a tad buzzed, but this was so bad it made me sober. I tried one bite and when I told the server it was overcooked he said thats how its prepared. Um, no. This was unedible and shouldnt ever be served.Besides that dish, everything else seems fine. Service isnt much, but I cant blame them for what they probably put up with it being open so late at night.$20 credit card minimum.
Solid Cantonese food. Wontons are particularly tasty, soy sauce chicken and duck also very good. Rice plates are generous portions, and fried noodles done very well.
The food is good and the restaurant opens until really late.But the prices have gone up a lot while the portion sizes have gone down.There are other restaurants close by that are just as good, if not better, that offer better value.
Worst chinese food I have ever had. The chicken was too chewy and the flavors were horrible. It was also twice has much as any other Chinese restaurant, dont waste your time! WAY TO EXPENSIVE AND TERRIBLE FOOD!!!
Open until 2am! I am addicted to salt and pepper pork chops. When I am working late at night and I just need some S&PPC Gold Medal is the place to get it. Regardless of what time you go people are always there and I see cops stop in all the time so even though the rest of China Town is dark and spooky Gold Medal is pretty lit up.
The service is great, the food is delicious, great prices. Plus theyre open late. Every time my family and I come back from a vacation we always stop here for dinner.
One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the bay area. I love their chow fun wet sauce style
Love thier beef chow fun with gravy and hong kong style beef chow mein with pan fried noodles. so many great dishes. best chinese food!!
Bomb ass food. Great flavors, fast service. They are open pass midnight too, perfect for those who get off work late or that last night grub after the club
Great place to eat Chinese food :) serve fresh for sea food. Side road parking. And doesnt wait long to serve food. Open til 3. Kitchen close 2:45am :D
Look a little run down but the food is great
Always a good place for late night Chinese comfort food. Won ton soup is one of the best. Peking duck and BBQ pork is savory.
They have the best dumplings Ive ever tasted I love their duck noodle soup wonton soup the food is always fresh and tasty
One of my ctown haunts especially for Chinese donuts
Best Chinese food Ive had in a long time. Definately a hole in the wall type place you may never notice but a definite visit for anyone. Try the shrimp fried rice.
One of my late night go to spots open til 3am.
Vg despite the small kitchen fire
Best after hrs. Chinese food in heart of oaktown chinatown district. Kiss all your sad duck appetites goodbye. They have ducks galore and pretty much all u can ask for in a chinese restaurant. Only take outs available. Omg im hungry lol
My favorite Chinese place in Oakland. War wonton soup and roasted a duck over rice are some of my favorites!
Good food. Old-school professional staff who remember your preferences. Popular but not crowded at night. Open till after 2am.
I literally thought people that said they found a long strand of hair in this food that they was just upset about service but I order $42 worth of food an I found long brown strand of hair in my roasted duck I was very disappointed because the food was good quality but the thought of pullin the long strand of hair out of my throat n then after not being able to finish the duck I order I started to eat the rice n shortly in to the huge order of rice the serve on to find a medium silver strand of hair I was utterly disappointed i have never made a bad review but this had to be recognized !!!! BEWARE OF THE LONG STRAND IF HAIR !!!!!
Food there is always delicious evey time.
Best duck in area! But I check card statement later and they over charged me by $4.50!😮 Without knowledge or permission! Just pay good attention to this matter😉
I usually buy whole roast duck for my friend at this restaurant.around three times a month.but every time different people charge different price.It is not honest.I will go to another restaurant buy roast duck .Never come back again!
Great, fast service and super tasty Chinese food. What more is there to ask for?
Its my dads favorite places to eat.His been going there since he was young. There food is so good and the price is not bad.They have good duck.
Can be good when I am drunk enough. Very mediocre quality. Off flavor, low quality. Service is good.
Huge portions, probably could have fed three people with my plate of general zao chicken over rice
Great restaurant. Always open late after the bars which is amazing and on top of that fast service and really good quality food
Typical, slightly above average Chinese bbq joint. Food comes quick, opens up until late hours. Worth a late night visit.
Ive been going to them since they were Sun Hong Kong on Shattuck.. They have maintained the same things I liked about them when I was a teen that I still enjoy as a fourthsomething... Plus they are open later.
The stars is for the food, most of the time it is very good but not always consistent. Difficult to park, specially on weekends, even at 11 PM. Place is always busy.
Great food and fast service...but expect to share a table with another party. They try to get and squeeze as many customers as possible for maximum profit into one table.
I had a beef chow fun to go. Price was almost 12$. Kinda expensive for a typical meal. Will try other places nearby.
This has been my favorite restaurant since I was a little kid. Everyone even my grandma love it here. Roast duck over rice!!
Good, authentic Chinese foodIt is kind of expensive but the portions are big.
Great food.. Not the standard Chinese stuff, but the good stuff you dont usually see. Open late too!
Yum! Cant beat this gem for a tasty treat! They have all the classic chinese foods youll ever crave for. Youll come back hungry for more!
Quick takeout service and delicious bbq duck/pork. BBQ pork fried rice was also delicious.
Very comfortable theaterI grew up coming to the Paramount. My 1st time I was 8 yrs.old The NutCracker 1970.
I love their BBQ pork and baked duck.Always good.
Very cool little place. Got family meal A for four, but it could have fed 6. I dont think the staff speaks super good English though so try to make sure they get your order right.
Service was quick and the restaurant was kept very clean. This place is great for a hot and fresh late night meal.
This place used to go by Sun Hong Kong. I was craving for good ole chowfun but was disappointed as it was not nearly as good tasting from previous owner. Prolly wont return.
Amazing food and openly late
Great foods and place to take family and friends to eat. We eat there regularly. Foods is always fresh.
Still a favorite in old Oakland Chinatown. Great joke and Chinese doughnuts.
People are crowded in every night between mid night and 2am since there is no restaurant open at that time for your information, all the stores in Chinatown in Oakland close until 4-5pm.
Good late night Chinese food. Nothing to rave about but gets the job done. Their rock salted chicken is delicious.
I work the third shift. The New Gold Medal Restaurant Oakland has a good selection of reasonably priced tasty chinese food
Pretty good restaurant, and take-out deli. BBQ meats were good!
Open late late night for dining or delivery, savory tasting food right smack Oaklands Chinatown bordering the tube if Alameda.
Good place to bring your friends and family. The prices are very reasonable. And the food is good
All good 🤙🌠
The BBQ pork over rice is very delicious. One plate was plenty for me to enjoy.
The food was great they give you good sized rations the service is very good and they have a tank of live animals.🤣
Really good roast duck, very rich and juicy. Good tea too. Would recommend.
Can be pricey for average food but one of the few options after 6PM.
Excellent food. Fresh and fast service. Open late for us night owls.
Got my order wrong and doesnt taste like it used to. i now have no reason to waste money in chinatown.
Good food, good quantity, lacks a little in friendliness but always busy. My go to late night spot.
Me and my dad came in at midnight fiending for some 扬州炒饭 and they delivered. It was hella good
So freaking delicious! Super clean place and very fast and friendly service.
Its our go-to place.Good food at good prices served by good people. Down home, nothing fancy.
Late night dinner with family, great portions and not overly greasy foods. Delicious!!!!!
Open late, expansive menu, good food, decent service. Couldnt ask for more.
Excellent late night food
Love this place! Quality ingredients & the thin noodles for the chow mein are the best!
Not the worst Chinese food of my life....but damn close. Sadly, its the only thing open late for Chinese food in Oakland.
Even though its hard to find parking, and the place is a bit Shady. Really recommend this place for its good food and great price.
Been going here for years. Fast service. Huge menu. Open very late.
Very good food .Good services. A nice restaurant you shouldnt miss in Oakland
Love the roast duck at this place. Actually everything is really good here.
A typical hole in the wall in Oakland Chinatown.Id come back for the baked oyster and pork/duck over rice with veggie and extra sauce.
Quick service, large portions, stays open late and best of all the food doesnt make me sick!
Pretty good food for late night meaning after midnight very hot very fresh
Used to came here a lot between 2013-2016. Came back in the area and order smth and still satisfying.
Open late and offers really fresh, expertly prepared seafood! Try the House Special crab!
I was walking past this place and seen some ducks hanging in the window and had to have one. Been coming back ever since!
I had pretty good bbq pork and roast duck.
Great food, not the best service. Open late so it convenient for late cravings.

2023-10-21 04:22:30It’s hard to find good Chinese food but that place has it. The war won ton soup is my favorite. The dumplings and broth is so flavorful. They are open late so that’s a plus.

2023-11-03 01:43:50Awesome place for laid back, casual Cantonese food. Had their wonton and duck noodle soup. The wontons had big chunks of shrimp, and the duck was a nice mix of cuts. Bonus points for springy noodles!

2023-11-30 03:21:21I can’t comment on the dine-in experience here because this place is barely two blocks away from me and they’ll take my order at 2:30AM. If I’m in the mood to eat at 2:30AM, I definitely don’t want anyone seeing me in that state.Nonetheless, if I am calling in an order to you at 2:30AM, you know, I still have expectations of the quality of my food, and so I call this place at that hour because the chef is still in the kitchen at 2:30 AM, and they get my order just right every single time.Don’t all of you go showing up at once now for this chicken congee, or that mu shiu pork, and that seasoned green beans, they are all so correct! Gold Star!

2021-12-15 00:31:54Salted fish fried rice - definitely salty and delicious.Whole duck - oily and tasty as it should be.Beef noodles - decent, but was a bit small.Pricing was reasonable. Huge plus that this place is open really late. Would recommend.

2023-11-23 06:55:12Typical Cantonese/Hong Kong style restaurant. The food is tasty and authentic. The service is fast, efficient, and business-like. The interior is also business-like, functional, and nothing to brag about but it is the food that gets me to come back again and again!

2023-05-16 02:38:07Very yummy! Watch out for the 15% service charge when you dine in. Server said it goes to their tip so you can factor it into your tip calculation.

2023-03-26 21:03:20A local favorite and the morning porridge/congee is quite good. The flat rice noodle/cheong fun was pretty solid as well.There’s usually a line of patrons for take out orders but there are restaurant seating inside. This place maintains hours that allows for breakfast to very late evening dining

2018-09-03 02:05:26Nice restaurant in Chinatown Oakland CA, stayed open late, and I had dinner with my family. Ordered several dishes and we all shared. The chow main was good, the general taos chicken was not what Im used it, the texture was a bit different. The fried rice was good. We got the house special, and the salt fish and chicken fried rice.
