seriously my favorite place to eat! thee best salt and pepper spareribs in the bay area! steamed sole! perfect! HK style pan friend noodles, super crispy! service incredible! ambiance a normal family style sit down restaurant and we came to beat the traffic!

Definitely my go-to place in Oakland Chinatown! I often get the roast duck to-go. Always a feast! And open really late.

Hidden gem of the east bay! Never had a bad dish from them. Customer service is top tier.

This review is only for ordering a whole roast pig. I was looking to order a whole pig for a party of 30+ adults and had always wanted to serve a whole pig. I had initially been planning to order a whole lechon/Filipino style pig, but there are not many vendors capable of selling whole pig and instead sell you pork belly rolls, and I was calling too late before a holiday weekend so they had sold out. I was also aware that Chinese restaurants can roast a whole pig, so I pivoted my search to Oakland Chinatown. (FYI, many Chinese restaurants do not directly advertise that they will sell you a whole pig, but if they are roasting traditional HK/Cantonese style meats with char siu and roasted ducks/chickens hanging in the window, AND you see a quarter of a pig hanging by the butcher block that they carve up to sell crispy pork, then it's likely that they can sell you a whole one.) The internet initially led me to Sun Hing across the street, so I went to do a taste test that was overall pretty good, 7/10, and suitable for the party. While shopping for fruit at a neighboring store, I walked by New Gold Medal and saw the pig hanging in the store, and so I decided to try their pork on a whim. The meat here was less salty and less intense with the five spice and Chinese cooking wine (a good thing), more juicy and tender, and with more thin and crisp skin compared to the thicker, more bubbly Chinese chicarron style from Sun Hing, which was more like what I had in mind; overall I give the pork an 8.5/10. Unlike many other stores, New Gold Medal won't give you a flat price on a pig but will sell you the non-suckling pig at $12/pound of cooked meat; as a comparison, other Chinese restaurants quoted me $360-$400 for a 40-45 lb roasted pig. After reading many reviews of how other restaurants sell pigs that appear to be missing meat in the belly region and leave buyers feeling ripped off, I felt that paying by the pound was a more honest and less problematic approach. I put down a $100 deposit 3 on a Thursday for a Sunday pickup of a 37 lb roasted pig that ultimately cost me ~$450, which was around $50-$100 more expensive than the other shops, but I was ultimately extremely satisfied with the results. We picked up the pig less than an hour before our party, and the meat was still warm, juicy, and richly flavorful by the time I started carving, and there was plenty of crispy pig skin for everyone. (I believe you can request that the restaurant carve it for you for an additional fee.) Even my Korean in-laws, who typically don't care for food with strong five spice seasoning, loved the meat and skin. There was so much meat, we wound up giving 1/3 of the pig away to our guests in takeout containers. My overall satisfaction with this place is really high, I would absolutely recommend their crispy roast pork and I'm now interested in trying their other dishes in the future.

Love this place. The service is great and so is their food. Definitely will dine there again. The ambiance is very welcoming.

After a concert at the Paramount Friday, we were hungry and found this spot via Instagram (several bloggers). I was a little taken aback but pushed forward and I'm glade I did. The food was amazing! War wonton soup, shrimp fried rice and sesame chicken. Old school Chinese food with veggies, mushrooms and fresh shrimp and chicken, delicious. The leftovers the next day were even better. The service was very good too! They got our order perfect. Thank you New Gold Medal for the food, service and braving it through, I'll be back.

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Food was amazing here! We initially planned to go across the street but the place was closed and we decided to try this spot that looked popping at 9:30pm on an otherwise dead street on a Tuesday night. Our group of 5 got seated without a wait and all other tables were filled. I'd say the star dish out of what we ordered was the tomato beef crispy noodle which was flavorful, saucy and crispy. The beef chow fun, salt and pepper tofu, salty fish tofu clay pot were really good! The roasted duck wonton noodle soup was decent but didn't stand out when compare to the other dishes we had. Service was surprisingly good considering there was only one waitress running around by herself. Can't say much for ambiance since it's the typical cantonese bbq style restaurant ambiance that I'm not a fan of but I'd say it feels authentic.

This place has been around since my high school times!!!!! It's a go to location when in the area looking for late night eats. Food comes out fast, ample serving and the flavors is nostalgic. Depending on the day and time, it can be a short wait for a table. Parking can be challenging and a risk at night. Just don't leave anything visible in your car. Old school vibes; great for big groups or small, they will make it work. That's the kind of service you will get. Always a good time coming out to Chinatown!!!!
