Do you wonton? I wonton some of Mays wonton soup at least once a week. Its a cure all for what is ailing you or just a darn good beginning to a great meal to come. Fresh broccoli and green onions float in a perfect chicken broth while her handmade wontons entice you with their long swaying tails to eat them. They are filled with a salty meat that tastes like shrimp but could be anything. Its a delicious pink little brain. May runs the restaurant, takes your order and remembers your last conversation or meeting your mother and asks how she is doing. We walk here at least once a week. The combination plates are a steal and include soup, fried appetizers along with your meal. The appetizer plate is fried shrimp, egg rolls, and crab puffs. If I could order the fried shrimp before a movie I would upgrade to a large size. They are flat, crunchy golden goodies. My hands down favorite is Kung Pau Chicken with zucchini and carrots, topped with toasted peanuts. My boo branches out more and Ive tried Mongolian Beef, Beef with Ginger and Onion, Barbecued Pork from his plate. All good! You have a choice of steamed or fried rice with your plate. Mays fried rice is exactly what I imagine fried rice to be. Salty. Fluffy eggs. Peas. Carrots. Not greasy. I always want more the next day. We go back for the quality of the food, the gracious service, the location, the price and because May says she will see us in two days or tomorrow so she basically implants the idea in your mind and expects to see you again. She is a smart business woman whose sincerity makes it a necessity to support her local gem. :)

Great, awesome, excellent service. The women at the counter seamlessly takes the order in English, passes it along in Cantonese to staff then breaks into Spanish to another customer. . She even took my phone order at 9:27 simply because she recognized my number! Ilive in the Dimond and this is my go-to for Chinese take out and I am so grateful that the neighborhood go to Chinese place is quite good, worth a get out of your hood and come to mine experience. Fried rice is the bomb. My favorite, broccoli beef and the bfs orange chicken are always excellent. Tons of fortune cookies come with each order. For price, service and quality, this is the best you can want in take out! never actually eaten in the space, hardly ever see anyone in there. Must thrive on take out...

This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurant in Oakland. Price is unbeatable. I dont know how they do it, but I usually pay less than $8 for lunch and it feeds me very well. You may be able to find some cheap Chinese restaurant around, but the taste is not good as there and soup is free. The ladies working there are very friendly and helpful. They also treat me like friend and remember me after my first visit.

The food is cheap, authentic and flavourful - I especially enjoyed the soups (hot and spicy, seafood). Service was attentive and friendly and we didnt wait very long for the food to be prepared. The ladies who work there are friendly and really sweet

I have become a regular for a few months. Great staff/service, good food with decent price, not fancy but good home cooking. Not salty nor MSG taste. Definitely go for a relaxed meal!

Its the best Chinese food in the East Bay. Also, the family that runs this place is great. Getting takeout from the Flower Lounge has become our Christmas tradition!
