Shan Dong Restaurant | A Historic Noodle Spot in Oakland’s Chinatown

🍜 Shan Dong Restaurant | A Historic Noodle Spot in Oakland’s Chinatown 🥢 Tucked in the heart of Oakland’s Chinatown, Shan Dong has been serving hearty, affordable Chinese-American dishes for decades. While it may not be every Chinese diner’s top pick, it’s gained a loyal following among local American customers—and for good reason! No fancy marketing, just solid portions, fair prices, and a sweet-and-sour leaning flavor profile that appeals to many. It’s the kind of place where you leave full, with leftovers for tomorrow. 🔥 What to Order: • Beijing Meat Sauce Noodles 🍝 – Thick, hand-pulled noodles (though lately they’ve been served more broken than long, texture still chewy) • Sesame Noodles – Rich, nutty, and satisfying • Pork & Chive Dumplings 🥟 – Generously stuffed, though the wrappers can be on the thicker side • Shandong Chicken / Scallion Beef – Huge plates of meat, great for sharing with rice 🍚 Pro Tip: Many regulars order one meat dish + a bowl of rice—it’s more filling and better value than Panda Express! 💵 Price & Portions: We spent $91.61 for four people—including tax—with plenty leftover. Portions are BIG! 🎭 Vibe: No-frills, busy, and authentic in its own way. A classic Chinatown eatery with history and character. 📍 Address: Shan Dong Restaurant 328 10th St #101, Oakland, CA 94607 🕙 Open daily | Walk-in friendly ✨ The Verdict: Don’t expect refined Shandong cuisine—this is Chinese-American comfort food done right for the masses. Great for groups, quick meals, or when you want something familiar and filling. #ChinatownEats #ChineseAmerican #BigPortions #OaklandEats #NoodleLover #BayAreaFood #NoFrillsDining
