Peony Seafood restaurant is a dim sum and seafood restaurant serving the Bay Area for over 20 years. It's located at the heart of Chinatown Oakland CA. Our professional chefs from Hong Kong provide an authentic experience with every traditional food they prepare - from mouthwatering BBQ pork buns to flavorful Peking duck. Our food isn't just great because it's finger-licking. We insist that everything at Peony Seafood Restaurant is made by hand only using original and fresh ingredients.

Celebrated Lunar New Years with my family and had a wonderful dinner. We found plenty of dishes for everyone's palate and food sensitivities. The fave dish was the peking duck. Only issue - wish the restaurant was warmer. It was COLD. That aside, it was a great meal.

Lunch dim sum was outstanding. Best I’ve ever had with many unusual offerings. Just be prepared to pay a premium for this outstanding food.

Excellent authentic taste on Dim Sum, offers more selections of unusual Dim Sum than even popular dim sums in Oakland Chinatown, service very prompt. Atmosphere very clean

You don’t see many people having dinner who are not Chinese. Great for family dinners. My friend,Susan and I come…she’s a regular. Our waitress suggested I try the Mongolian beef with broccoli. Susan ordered fish cakes. We shared white rice. The meal was very tasty and beautifully prepared. There was plenty for leftovers and I loved the reheated beef. On prior evenings, we shared their amazing lobster platter. I helps to speak or read Chinese, but you can’t go far wrong just accepting their recommendations. I look forward to my next visits.

Absolutely love the food and the space. One word of caution though…..they close at 9:00. Not just the kitchen but the restaurant. So plan to arrive with plenty of time. We were rushed out by the staff at 9:00 while we were still finishing our meal. Desserts arrived while we were still eating and we were asked to pay the bill because the cashier was leaving. Then they packed up our food to go. We now know to arrive no later than 7pm in the future to not be rushed.

The dishes that we ordered ranged from excellent, to good, to fair, to poor. Our server seemed annoyed with everybody, even her fellow staff. Worst of all the expense was double the cost of comparable dim sum or full menu restaurants. Probably won't try again.
