Hong Kong East Ocean Seafood Restaurant

We ventured into this restaurant as part of a day out at Berkeley Beach. The dishes exceeded our expectations, especially the signature dishes: Crab Meat & Shrimp Crystal Dumplings, Oysters in Shells, BBQ Pork, Clams in Spicy Herbs Soup, and Fish Fin/Abalone/Shrimp/Pork Dumpling Soup.

Moreover, the breathtaking views from the restaurant added to the overall experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and highly recommend this restaurant.

Beautiful view of the water, and food is AMAZING! Really takes me back to HK. Highly recommend the pig feet ginger in vinegar dish and the thousand layer cake – can’t find it anywhere else!

We put the pilot house into my pal Halgorious Breezeway's slip there at the marina for a little weekend maintenance, and had time to grab a light lunch at the Hong Kong East Ocean Restaurant. What a delight it is to eat here, it has a nice view of the bay, but most of the customers and staff think it's the ocean. The options are incredible, as is the presentation and the flavors of everything is amazing. ☆☆☆☆☆

Came for dim sum on a Saturday. Great waterfront views & extensive dim sum menu. Service was quick, portions were big, & everything was super delicious.

Went for a coworker's wedding, and it was an excellent experience all around! The view was great, the food was very good, and service was attentive and frequent. Worth checking out!

The view and ambiance is excellent. The service is wonderful. The food may not be the best but still delicious. Depends on what you order.

It’s been over 10 years since I’ve eaten here, and I’m glad we decided to today. We had a fantastic dim sum lunch with an amazing view of the bay. :) Make reservations!

I’ve been to ~15 dim sum places in my life. They range in quality of course. This one is TOP NOTCH! The view of the bay is also lovely. We had the pork ribs, some buns, chicken feet, long flat noodles with shrimp. Everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend :)

Definitely one of the best Dim Sum restaurants in the Bay Area. We love it also because the surrounding of it - Located on the tip of Emeryville Marina, you can enjoy the gorgeous view of the water front and also the bay bridge, Treasure island and the City of San Francisco.
Foods are high quality. I recommend the Tofu skin rolls, rice rolls with crispy shrimp, regular shrimp rice noodle rolls, congee, deep fried spring rolls, and rice noodle stirred fried with XO seafood sauce.

- The restaurant has parking right outside of the entrance.
- Toilets are available.

You can sometimes watch people fishing if you’re sitting facing the windows and it could be quite enjoyable and exciting if they catch anything:)

Quality went down a lot. I used to love their cold tofu with preserved egg (hard tofu and no soy sauce), the giant clam noodle, chicken feet (not seasoned enough) salted egg bun (not oozing liquid as it was hard) and the wrap rice lo mai gai (not much meat and no salted egg yolk) But now they are all not good. They still have the best hargao tho! Beef balls and pork rolls are good. The two of us and they automatically charge for 16% service charge on top of our bill. Not coming back.

The food is amazing! We absolutely had a great time, the service was on point! The view was absolutely gorgeous 💖 will be back again. The sponge cake was delicious 😋 and the nobleman fried rice was out of this world!! 🤤

An excellent restaurant with a wonderful view of the Bay. Be sure to arrive early, the wait here can be substantial but the experience is worth it. Their bao and beef chow fun are great.

Amazing waterfront views of Treasure Island & San Francisco skyline, Bay and Golden Gate Bridges! Delicious and flavorful Dim Sum, Noodles, Fish, Pot Stickers and desserts. The ingredients were fresh and cooked to perfection. The restaurant was Covid-19 compliant with very clean bathrooms. The staff at the front of the restaurant were courteous, professional, and greeted me immediately! Bring a sweater or fleece for a casual walk around the Marina which boasts
a cool breeze any season. Indeed, competitively pricey but the servings are more than ample. A delightful early lunch whether you are solo are with a group, definitely takeout is an option if you want to sit along the waterfront area! Enjoy!

Large restaurant along the waterfront with incredible views of SF and both bridges. I arrived on a Wednesday at 1 pm and was seated right away. I judge dim sum restaurants by how well they do chicken's feet. I tried the abalone sauce chicken's, and the black bean chicken's feet. Both were excellent. Also tried several dishes with shrimp, which tasted very fresh. After your meal, there's a paved walkway just behind the restaurant that skirts the waterfront, so you can take a scenic stroll and burn off those post prandial calories.

The food here was good. The view from the restaurant is really nice. They have a great location for sure. I would go back.

From almost anywhere in the restaurant, you have a grand, beautiful view of the Bay. We could see the city skyscrapers in the distance over the water.

The restaurant was clean, and the servers were prompt and courteous.

The food was absolutely delightful. I've been to plenty of dim sum places, and there's a reason East Ocean was Michelin Guide rated in 2014. From the various small dim sum options to the definitely-should-share specials, everything was delicious! Pro tip for dessert: the mango pudding is out of this world. You do not wanna pass it up!

The food here is extremely legitimate and delicious! I believe it’s the best dim sum in the east bay. The servers are always super nice, and the restaurant itself is beautiful.

Right outside the windows, there’s an amazing view of the city and the bridges! Do be aware that the prices are higher than other places, you’re probably paying for the premium location. Overall, I would definitely recommend it!

I’ve never had the food but often when I need to clear my head I drive there from Sacramento and sit in there parking lot and enjoy the bay! I love it there! Probably one of my favorite places in the world! Thank you for the parking space! I’m allergic to shellfish or I’d eat there for sure!!!

Definitely an authentic dim sum place to visit! If you are looking for an original (based on my limited authentic Hong Kong food experience) HK dim sum experience, I would recommend this place for sure. The taste in general would be a little bit more authentic than your traditional experience with Din Tai Fung. I found that this is differently appealing to try it out and the food in general is really good. I do recommend trying the most popular dishes (often marked them on the menu sheet) to avoid order failures as the authentic dishes could taste a bit stronger than you would imagine.

At the time of visit on 4/3/2021, the Google Map showed this restaurant did not offer Dine-in Service but when I arrived at the dinner time, they opened up for the Dine-in Service!

With the above, this is a "must go" restaurant if you want to take your significant others, friends, family, etc. for a special occasion. The view you would get when seating by the window is amazing!

My friend who is a patron of the restaurant took me there for lunch today, it was awesome! Food was great, we took some dimsom and the view from the restaurant was stunning to see SF GGB, Bay Bridge, Downtown San Francisco from a distance. This restaurant has ample parking spaces and short stroll trail with ocean view.
