Chanco Housewares & Restaurant Supply

I love large shallow bowls. I don't know if there is a name for them, usually about 10" in diameter but only about 3" tall. Theyre perfect for rice and noodle dishes. When a bowl i had used for 15 years finally broke i tried really hard to find a replacement.

Luckily, I found Chanco. While I didn't find an exact replica (which makes sense since it was originally purchased in 2009ish), I found multiple great alternatives at good prices.

They have a huge selection of serveware. They have plastic and paper to-go containers, reusable plastic bowls and plates glass, glass Tupperware and higher end ceramic plates and bowls.

Service was friendly, and accept credit card. Parking was easy for China Town: They have an underground parking garage next door which is only like $2 for an hour, but the first hour is waived if you buy more than $20 in their store. Good deal!

Amazing selection, come in and browse for about anything kitchen you may need!

Lots and lots of choices for Asian style tableware that are meant for restaurants. It's also a super fun place for a home chef to go. They actually have underground parking, if you're buying a substantial amount.

It is a jewel in Oakland Chinatown. A little bit off the main drag. It is a full line of restaurant and cooking utensils supply company. It worth to pay a visit if you are into cooking . From wok,to containers for different purpose. Credit cards are accepted. I found all my cooking utensils there. Let's support this store and happy shipping.

Wow. Way better than Daiso for dishes and kitchen gear. Full aisles of dishes. Full isle of coffee and tea gear. Awesome amount of Japanese dishes and cups. Gorgeous selection, and also tons of cute stuff too... cats, pugs, fish, leaf designs etc

I like it. All the attributes and characteristics of a well stocked restaurant wares supply house (not food), but with a decided flare to pan-Asain cuisine. Satay skewers, special tea filters, clay pots, wanabe, sushi boats, hangiri, joss sticks; if it has to do with Eastern styled food and beverage preparation and dining ambience they probably have it. It is clean, well lighted, wide aisles, everything is priced, high end high quality items and plastic stuff, staff are attentive and helpful.

I love this store, amazing supply and emmese selections for kitchens of any size. Be careful (sarcastic), everything is so cheap I ended up spending WAAAAY more than I thought, but I got a full dinner set for 8, coffee press, tea infuser pot and more for less than one place setting at Macy's, maybe even Target! Tons of designs and decals textures and materials galore! Oh, and did I mention their kitchen gadget selection? I didn't even go down those isles,. I know better, I'd be broke. This place is a home cook and entertainer's paradise. AND they are locally owned/operated, so if you live live local, shop local!

A great kitchen supply store. They have a huge selection of home goods, especially dishes – any kind of plate and bowl you'd need will be there. While a lot of their stuff is restaurant focused, plenty is perfectly suited for the home. Staff are also super helpful.

I just found out that Chanco is still open and I am thrilled! I last visited during the covid shutdown and thought they had gone under (knock on wood) because it was boarded up; thank goodness it was just temporary. I really love this place and make it a point to stop in any time I'm in Oakland. They have a small parking lot that's free to customers and a vast selection of dinnerware, home-cook and professional kitchen tools and equipment. Great place, great value, reminds me of the mom and pop's shops in my neighborhood growing up, but a little bigger.

ANYONE visiting the “bay” must come here to find all those kitchen tool necessities and then some. Every Asian implement you can think of is here from China, Japan, Korea, India, LOVED IT and I will be back!

An amazing store run by an amazing woman. I live directly above Chanco and enjoy running downstairs for anything we need. Several months ago I was part of a restaurant opening in the area and purchased many items and was very pleased with pricing! It's hard to beat!

Great service, and cheaper than amazon, target etc. and even Daiso for some things! FInd all kind of kitchen/home needs, especially needed for Asian kitchens that you simply cannot find elsewhere - chinese/japanese knives, cutting boards, cookware, rice cookers, utensils...
free parking downstairs too.

Friendly staff with reasonable pricing for kitchenware. They have parking spaces available for their customer only. Highly recommend if you’re looking for kitchenware items!

This place is WALL TO WALL with restaurant and home needs. Want a cute little bowl for your niece who is in town from Chicago? Check! Need a shopping basket you see all those cute chinese grandmas? Check, come here! Are you a budding food truck that needs a giant wok, a cast iron pan and a huge ladle? Check come here!

Great place for food industry basics, fantastic selection of baking tools, serveware and cleaning products including nitrile gloves in colors and Handi wipes from Germany! If they dont have what you are looking for ask Sandra at the front counter she is so supportive! This is a real gem of a place.

Great store for kitchen home goods and restaurant supplies. Super tidy. Surprisingly big and great selection. Really neat shop.

So many wonderful things to discover! So far, I've only purchased a couple of adorable rice bowls for the kids. Can hardly wait to go back for more.

Really adorable dishes at a super great price. The staff is super nice and always helpful. Plus they validate parking in the garage.

Large selection of houseware, really good prices. Most of my plates and bowls are from this store.

Great place to pick up some kitchenware for cheap, especially if you need things for Asian cooking.
