Tao Yuen Pastry

Local Chinese food market vibe. Great service. And VERY delicious and affordable pastries. Strongly recommend. I loved the Taro pineapple bun and cant believe they sell 5 small pine apple buns for less than $4!!! We got 7 pastries for less than $10!

Perfect place to grab satiating lunch and dinner when on-the-go AND on-a-budget. Discovered this place on a trip and have been coming back ever since. Communication can be quite tricky but you can also point out what you want and they’re very generous with their portions. The food is really good from the fried chicken/pork to the rice, noodles, vegetable stir fry, shrimp, etc. The lines can be long during lunch rush but they work to get you in & out as quickly as possible

A well known spot for the town. I have been here many times :) their stuff is always fresh and tasty!

Every trip coming to Oakland, this is a stop I have to make. The food is delicious, the amount of food you get for the price is huge! It goes by weight but so totally worth it. They have a bunch of different Asian treats/pastry. Love love love the food. You’ll just have to see the pictures.

This is located in China town, the only thing I don’t like is whenever I go here is always homeless people begging for money and food and the smell outside is not pretty.

Greasy, well seasoned deliciousness in big portions! (Small portions pictured below). Really enjoyed the rice rolls especially. They were bland by themselves and delicious when dipped in gravy.

Grabbed some rice noodles and turnip cakes for breakfast. I was traveling for work and wanted something familiar. So good and homey! Everything was fresh, the food was still steaming when they plucked it from the display case. There was a small line even at 8am, but definitely worth it!

Inexpensive place to get expensive tasting food. Love the mixed vegetables, with green beans carrots tofu onions and mushrooms. They make a delicious fried chicken from dark meat. It's kind of like grown-up chicken nuggets. Also enjoy the chow mein, chow fun and really good dim sum. One of the other stars of the show are the baked barbecue pork buns.

First time there this week and I’m VERY satisfied! I thought I may have needed some type of sauce but boy it was that great! I highly recommend! I had bought a small portion of Shrimp and Chow Mein. And yes they only take cash. Very affordable as well. Im going back!

Cheap, greasy and filling dim sum, noodles, and buns! Lines moves quickly.

PROTIP: Bring someone who speaks Chinese or employ the universal language of finger pointing. I did the latter and in broken Chinese I asked the staff to give an assortment of dim sum. Didn’t regret it!

Nothing bad to say about this place. Very good food, lots of variety, made fresh, and always busy! Would recommend to anyone looking to grab and go or want some authentic Chinese cuisine. Fast, friendly, and very efficient. Food is made fresh which is a plus! Too bad I don’t live closer to this place!

So cheap and delicious! I got 3 sesame balls for $2.29. It’s always busy. Come and enjoy!

There's a lot of great dimsum in Oakland's Chinatown, but this place has the nicest staff. They're happy to help you discover your new favorite food.

Excellent food, always a line. They continue to make more throughout the day so it is always fresh. Very cheap prices. Best chow fun I've had.

Get the chow fun and the egg rolls. Wow. Everything seen here was $13. Place is cash and eat out only, but it's super worth it.

Their food tasted really good. It was a good quick lunch that filled me up.

The BBQ pork buns are the thing to get. I prefer their baked ones. Sweet and savory pillows of sinister carb goodness with ample pork stuffed inside.

Best Chinese bakery in Oakland, bar none. I visit every time I’m in town. Dont let the line discourage you!

Well priced and delicious baked roast pork bun.

We love their fried noodles and fried pork ribs. My husband loves their fried chicken. Always try to swing by whenever we're in the area.

So delicious loved every bite!
