Shan Dong
Included In
You can find good Chinese food all over Oakland. But if you want great, like 2014-2019 Golden State Warriors great, head to Shan Dong in Chinatown. The big draw at this institution is the thick, chewy hand-pulled noodles that are made fresh behind a glassed-in counter at the front of the restaurant. The best decision you can make is to order the saucy sesame paste noodles, and the Shan Dong dumplings with chicken and dry-braised green beans. Just prepare to wait outside in a line longer than the DMV.
