Oakland Chinatown, centred around Webster Street and the blocks surrounding Lincoln Square, is one of the best places in the entire Bay Area to eat Chinese and broader Asian food without paying downtown San Francisco prices. The dim sum here in particular draws loyal regulars from across the East Bay, and the quality of the Cantonese, Vietnamese, and Cambodian cooking sits genuinely at the top of what Oakland has to offer. It's the kind of neighbourhood where a celebratory family lunch feels just as right as a quiet weekday bowl of congee.
