Ying Kee Restaurant

A longtime Oakland Chinatown favorite for handcrafted dumplings, comforting noodle soups, and homestyle Cantonese cooking.

For over a generation, Ying Kee has been one of Oakland Chinatown’s most trusted spots for a hot, comforting meal. Locals come for the flavors they grew up with - handmade dumplings, fresh wontons, wok-fried noodles, and rice plates cooked the traditional way. Nothing here is rushed, pre-mixed, or mass-produced. Everything is prepared throughout the day, in small batches, with fresh ingredients and no preservatives.

This is Cantonese comfort food at its most honest.
