East Ocean Seafood Restaurant

Alameda is just across the water from Oakland’s Chinatown, but there’s no need to cross a bridge for exciting dim sum. East Ocean is a busy Cantonese spot where extended families and big friend groups go to spend a weekend morning, thanks to the always solid selection of dim sum staples. Go all in on an assortment of standard steamed and pan-fried goods, like custard buns and turnip cakes, plus bigger entrees like congee and beef chow fun.
