Food was great! Service top notch! Millie made everything easy and was an absolute pleasure to work with! Definetly will be going back there soon!!!

I'm an Alamedan! So, why go all the way to Chinatown in the city (or even in Oakland) when you have the best authentic/traditional dim sum right here in Alameda! I'm also Asian, and you can tell how great a dim sum restaurant is by how many Asians eat there. It's that great! It's that authentic! Five stars! All the way! My two centavos!

I've been coming to this restaurant for so long Idk why I've never written a review of this place. Food- i have my favorites and I already know what to order before I get there. They've renovated the place restaurant and It looks updated.

I've come here on multiple occasions, typically with family who lives out in Castro Valley. This is by far one of the best dim sum restaurants I've been to. arriving on a weekend in the morning, parking in the back is rough, very limited spots and it's tight and if you don't find a spot you'll find your self having to 3 point turn out or reverse, there are designated parking spots specifically for Kelly Moore paints, so you're better off parking on the street. Customer service here is great. There are higher level staff that speak English and can help you place orders for specific items, If you can't find them on the cart going around . Portions are fair and the dim sum pieces are decently sized. It's always busy here. But seating can be obtained within an hour or less typically If you're in the area and looking for dim sun, you should definitely come here.

Hands down the BEST dim sum spot I've ever been to. The pork and shrimp shiu mai is absolutely delicious, packed with meat, juicy, and perfectly steamed. The shrimp rice rolls are awesome and the shrimp fried dumplings are great too. I've also been here for dinner and it's really good quality and portions. For dim sum it's very reasonably priced, dinner is expensive though so keep that in mind!

Love it! East Ocean is a real treat with every visit. The restaurant is very large and is optimized for maximum seating. No frills, just a lot of great food! We are always quickly seated, and the food starts coming around in a snap. And who doesn't like the choice of dumplings. Most of the dishes are very mainstream and taste wonderful, with sausage, shrimp and pork. Nothing to exotic there. Just great fillings wrapped in pasta. We also had Duck, Pork Belly, Bok choy, noodles and pork sticky buns (my-oh-my). Round after round of food is wheeled by your table. Comfort food just doesn't get any better than this. Quick seating, lightning fast service and best of all, really great food!

This is one of the first Dim Sum spots I have seen bring back the carts since covid happens. Excited to see those carts again which allows us to get food quicker and try new things by just seeing it. Food menu is your standard dim sum restaurant menu. The items were all great, except for the XLB. I felt that could have been more fresh and more soupy. My favorite dishes were the egg tarts, baked custard bun and the fried wings. I am usually not a fan of egg tarts and dessert dishes at dimsum, but these two were incredible. The egg tart has a unique flavor to it. Fried wings were amazing ! East Ocean has a full bar as well if you want to get a little tipsy. They also have a mimosa cart going around. They also had Ramune soda in the cart which could make a for an interesting mimosa mix.

If ya know me, grabbing dim sum for my birthday is a tradition. For a birthday celebration myself, my Dad, and my companion came to East Ocean for lunch. It had been years since my Dad and I last dined inside so we were looking forward to revisiting. On the outside, the restaurant seems unassuming. Yet once you enter it is extremely big and spacious with tables for all party sizes. There is a constant flow of diners coming in and leaving. Coming on a Sunday afternoon, we had no wait. Once you're seated, the dim sum cart workers flock towards you. From there, it's quite easy to order as you receive your food instantaneously. On the other hand, the staff are constantly moving so in order to flag them down for other reasons it can take some time. Regardless, service is efficient and gets the job done. My Dad and I have our favorites for dim sum and my companion knows what to get, so it was easy to pick and choose. Sharing family style we ordered from the carts: Steamed Shrimp Har Gow Dumpling, Steamed Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai, Sweet Rice w/ Meat Wrapped in Lotus Leaf, Baked BBQ Pork Buns, Pan Fried Shrimp & Chives Dumpling, and Shanghai Dumpling. We all agreed that each item was good, well-filled, and nicely portioned. My favorites were the Har Gow and Shrimp and Chives Dumpling since they had a lot of shrimp! I felt like the xiao long baos could use some work as they were deflated and had no soup. The lo mai gai rice was super wet and didn't hold up well but had a good amount of protein. We all agreed we wouldn't mind coming back again. I especially want to so I can try their other items not offered in the carts. For those in the East Bay, I recommend East Ocean Seafood Restaurant to get your dim sum and Chinese food fix. It's virtually on the corner of Webster Street with a private parking lot in the back.

We came for father's day special dinner. I'm gonna start off by complimenting the owner lady(if you've been coming at this restaurant your whole life, you'll come across this lady), who is very nice, cheerful and very accommodating to all her customers. You're cool in my book. The food, I mean look at the pictures, "eat with your eyes first". The flavor here doesn't miss, I love the meticulous approach to the taste of every single dish. The lobsters were fresh, salted to perfection with that slurry scallion sauce. The crabmeat fishmaw soup was out of this world, it also had very soft/silk tofu. The vanilla honey glazed prawns, wow! Oh and I won't forget about the cold bbq appetizer platter. My goodness, everything here was wayyyy too good. All the food came in hot, fresh, and f***in delicious! (except for the cold appetizers of course lol) We came on a busy afternoon transitioning to dinner hour. (Around 5:30-6pm). The place was packed with big tables for the father's day special dinners for all families. Music was playing, the service staff were smiling. Everything was just so perfect. I love this place. 5 stars! Always gonna come back! I've been coming here since I was young, so definitely gonna say its either this or Chef's Wok one block down. Both awesome places to eat authentic dimsum/lunch/dinner Chinese food.
