I have been in this restaurant pretty often from its open, for dinners and dim sum, with my wife, friend and business associates just because my house and company are close-by. Our first time there, the waiter made a mistake over charging 20% on a $150 dinner for two. It was a sign that the service is not very professional.... more

This is great place to have dim sum around the Bay area. Dim sum in San Francisco and Oakland don't seem to get up to par, but this place 20-30 minutes east of Oakland is great. The dim sum is fresh, and there are some interesting varieties. I really enjoyed the deep fried wild mushroom dragon beard fritter. The XO... more

We have been to Koi Garden several times and despite the long lines, it's totally worth the wait. The dim sum during lunch hours is fabulous- fresh, delicious, and one of a kind. Unlike the bland dimsum you can find everywhere in the Bay area, this dim sum is authentic Hong Kong style dim sum with a different assortment that... more

We met some friends there last Saturday, and had a very pleasant meal. All the standard items, along with a couple I had not seen before. The deep fried milk is great for desert. People were nice and place was naturally very crowded. more

Best Dim Sum Place in East Bay. Pleasant Decor and seating place. No crazy waiting time as in the Koi Palace in Daly City more
