Gum Wah - Oakland

Totally amazed that Gum Wah opens at 8:30am! Grabbed lunch with pops here one late afternoon. We had the craving for roast duck. We walked into an empty restaurant with plenty of seating available. They have a pretty standard Cantonese/Hong Kong menu. We had... Combination Meat Rice Plate (Soy Sauce Chicken, Roast Duck, Beef Brisket) Chinese Broccoli Roast Duck Wonton Noodle Soup Everything was delicious! Pay with cash, because paying with credit takes super long. Service is good and quick. Place is clean. Prices are super cheap. Good solid spot.

My husband and I have been coming here for over 25 years. We have tried the Roast duck in other places and like the one here the most, the Roast pork, BBQ pork and other items are also pretty tasty

Foods are all good. Beef rice noodle with too much meat. Congee is delicious. I saw how they make the thin rice sheet to wrap the fried stick – youtiao and ordered one: the sheet is great but fried stick is kind of hard. Service is affable. When I tried to get hot water for my ever-presence tea bottle and couldn’t, she said “oh you don’t know” and went on to show me.

I thought it closed .... for good .... But they just closed the place for .... a while .... for a deep cleaning. Looks better than ever This was one of my go to places for BBQ pork I might even eat here again!

Very huge portion of a dish and taste good. A little bit too salty to me but I cannot stop finish a dish. We order chowmein and chowfain, both of them are good.
