Rolled the dice from our air bnb and it landed on Flower Lounge. We ordered a fairly unadventurous selection of Szechuan Shrimp, Wonton Soup with Roast Pork, Chicken Fried Rice and Chicken Chow Fun. We also ordered Vegetable Egg Foo Yung but discovered that they no longer make Egg Foo Yung dishes. I'm not sure why, but we are flexible. Everything was hot, delicious, and prepared carefully. The soup was loaded with pork, dumplings, and vegetables, and the broth tasty and not loaded with salt. The Szechuan Shrimp were deep fried and tossed in a vinegary, slightly spicy sauce. The Chicken Chow Fun had lots of chicken, and big pieces of tasty bok choy, which was cooked until tender. My son had the Chicken Fried Rice and enjoyed it. The prices were really great, the owner was cheerful, and this place goes on our go-to list for easy, tasty Chinese food. They have more authentic dishes on the menu which we will...
Read moreReally good food here at a reasonable price. Staff are very pleasant and efficient. The dinner platter specials are welcome - you get an amazing amount of food - appetizers, large soup (terrific wonton soup with lots of fresh veggies) and entree with lots of rice - I could have shared my one meal with another person easy. Had the eggplant with garlic sauce and it was very fresh and delicious - sauce was tasty, eggplant was not over cooked and the water chestnuts gave a nice crunchy contrast. Parking is convenient with the free parking lot located a block away behind the commercial buildings along Fruitvale Ave (behind Peets Coffee), so you don;t have to search endlessly for parking on the street. Family friendly and very welcoming. Spartan interior but nice and clean and spacious. Look forward to...
Read moreOmg delicious Chinese food, great prize and excellent portions... also service was great!
We got there right 4pm so technically "dinner time". But they had a dinner special that included an appetizer, soup and full plate of food; choice between rice, chow mein or fried rice and the main dish. We ordered 2 of these specials and a plate of beef chow fun.
The food as I said was delicious and we are a family of 4 and we had plenty left overs. I would recommended people to share as it is plenty of food but itlf you order two definitely enough for 2 meals worth.
We will definitely be returning when we are back in Oakland!!!
I will add a slight side note, we had gone to Oakland to visit the Chabot Space museum and this is only 10 min away from this. Perfect time wise...
