Warm watery "sizzling rice" soup. Poor service, and higher prices. Also, don't bother coming in in the later part of the evening or you will have the servers staring you down to hurry up and finish (before close time). Even the lady that is always...More

Heard about this place on Check Please Bay Area which guests raved about the place so we decided to try it. We were on our way how. So we tried take out. Ordered mushu pork, walnut shrimp, sweet and sour pork and steamed rice. The...More

This has become my family's go-to place for family gatherings with really great food. Our family's faves include kung pao beef (we usually order two, one to take home), Schezhuan green beans, lollypop chicken and of course potstickers! The waits can be long, the owner...More

Little Shin Shin is one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever eaten at. We had the Sweet&Sour Chicken, Lemon Chicken and the Kung Pao Chicken. We loved any of the three meals but the Lemon Chicken was a bit too sweet for my taste....More

My family has been going to Little Shin Shin for over thirty years. Not fancy. In fact a bit plain. However, the excellent always wok hot food is the place to go for mostly Cantonese style Chinese food on Piedmont Ave in Oakland. The salt...More

Our family of 7 had a very good dinner on Mother's Day. Egg roll and pot stickers were delicious, hot and sour soup just OK. We had a variety of main dishes including Hunan prawns, a spicy lamb dish, chicken chow mein, special vegetables, and...More
