Service is average means you go for the atmosphere and food. Legit, old school, Chinese comfort food open late. No smiling hosts or waiters. Sit your butt down where you can, and get your order straight. The food is very good, tasty and hot. The interior is old, needs a good cleaning, and with the average service - the food stands out. Will be my new goto and would assume parking is bad in day time. I went at 845p which was perfect. Many parking spaces.

The waiter was very unfriendly until the very end of our dining. Very stern in responses but the food is excellent and very well seasoned. I loved the food.

The first thing that needs to be said is that Oakland Chinatown is now a dangerous and depressing wasteland, especially after 5 pm when all the sane shopkeepers pull down their graffiti-encrusted metal blinds. Keep this in mind if you are interested in eating here. I have been eating at NGM whenever I have been in the area for about 20 years. I hadn't visited in a while so it was very sad to see the state of the area. There was a specific notice taped above our table warning us to not leave valuables in our car. How's that for ambiance? The food was still very good. That fact accounts for most of this restaurant's three-star score. I ordered Chicken with Black Bean Sauce over rice, my dining companion had Chicken with Salted Fish fried rice. Maybe my expectations were low because of the frightening encounters we had outside, but I was pleasantly surprised by my dish. In my dining companion's words: "It was pretty good. Not the best version of the dish but definitely respectable." Our waitress was glum and largely silent, no doubt wishing she was somewhere else like the rest of us. Didn't see much of her after our food was delivered. My debate over what kind of tip to leave was ended when I noticed a 15% gratuity was automatically added to our tab. Surprise! That pushed our total to $45 for two dishes. All in all, my recent visit was like visiting an old friend who is dying in the hospital. You recognize them and want to remember the good times, but the grim reality of the situation is hard to ignore

This is a locals go-to for decades. From seafood to meat dishes all your traditional Chinese dishes can be found here. Nothing is amaricanized like the panda food. You can’t go wrong with bbq duck, wontons, salt n pepper fried pork chops, chow meins, and even vegetarian options are good here. Lobster and crabs are also delicious. Bring your friends or family here and eat an authentic Chinese meal here. It’s almost a whole in the wall so no need to dressed up.
