Eating in San Francisco

There are two East Ocean Restaurants in the East Bay. I have previously written about East Ocean Alameda. This review, however, is of East Ocean Emeryville.

East Ocean Emeryville is much fancier than East Ocean Alameda. Nestled along the San Francisco Bay on the east facing the sea, the view is fantastic. Floor-to-ceiling windows gives way to an impressive pan view of the entire Bay Area.

This is probably one of the best-tasting and nicest dim-sum places in the Bay Area. Chinatown dim sum joints tend to be dirty and loud, and there is no feeling of dining. East Ocean Alameda has great service, food, and views. On a Sunday afternoon you really feel like you're having a nice brunch.

The place is crowded from open till close. But the place is huge, so waiting doesn't take THAT long. Try to get there early (before 1pm) to take advantage of special dishes, as they usually run out after 1pm.
