tartare
Vivian F.

I was pretty impressed by this modern take of Cantonese cuisine. The salted yolk wings were fresh, tasty and light. I also loved the yushang crudo - it had a nice crunch and flavor with the vinaigrette, scallions and taro. The yuba noodles were simple but it had a refreshing taste. Though, I thought the beef wagyu fried rice was a bit bland to my liking. It could have used some spice but it had good "wok hei". The peach dessert was underwhelming for me. I thought the black sesame cream had a nice twist but the peach wasn't sweet and undercooked. I think the desserts warm temperature also affected the taste. Overall, service was attentive without being over the top and the decor had really nice touch of Chinese inspired art. There are a few areas for improvement as they get their footing down as a new business but their food is a solid choice.

Crudo
Carly L.

A nice and elevated twist to Cantonese dishes. The tartare is definitely one of the best beef tartare that I've had- a bit umami a bit sweet, creamy. Crudo was tasty as well but a bit over priced for the small proportion you get. Service was professional and great- poured our water at least 5 times but nice attention to detail.

Great spot for dinner. Service was attentive without being too much, and it's a great spot with plenty of seating. Everything I ate was a hit! Green beans: Strong garlic flavor, cooked to the perfect amount of al dente. Calamari: Thinly battered, very crispy, and the yuzu flavor balanced out the calamari. Hong Kong bolognese: Tomato-centered flavor, well done. Braised beef cheeks: Melt-in-your-mouth, slow-cooked for 4-6 hours. Wagyu fried rice: Incredibly tender beef, with a light enough flavor for a rice dish. Peaches and cream : peach cooked till very soft paired with a light sesame cream My favorites were the green beans, calamari, and fried rice, even though everything was well done. My inner fat kid came out while eating, I wanted to eat everything and noticed my pace increasing as I wanted to hog all the food for myself. We were here for the soft opening and it was already very lively. Can't imagine how it'll be when they have their grand opening. Definitely coming back!!

Went to JuXi on a Tuesday night around 7pm during their soft opening and we were immediately welcomed in by friendly, who was also our server. Everything was explained to us, with space for questions. Devante asked if we had dietary restrictions and provided some recommendations when we asked. He and all of the staff were helpful and friendly. We got the Yuzu Blonde beer from Dokkabeer, a brewery that is rarer to find now after they closed their brewery a few years ago. My partner ordered the fried rice, which he said was perfectly made. We also shared the green beans, which were delectable and practically snack worthy. I got the rich, herby, yet savory tea rice. The broth was a deep green and came on the side and you could either dip or pour over. I added salmon for some extra protein and wow did I really love it. Sometimes vegetarian dishes are afterthoughts, this dish was deeply thought out, delicious, and memorable. It was a bit of food and I think folx could get a couple of appetizers and share a main and be well fed. The prices make sense for the care and deliciousness of each offering. I also loved the space, a mixture of classy and cozy. You really felt the personalities of the people who run it and their love for food, family, and Alameda.

Date: 9/24/2026 Time: 5:25 PM 68° Sunny I received an email from Yelp to dine at this restaurant. Before dining at this restaurant, I asked my fellow yelper, Steven D, to check out the place and give me a feedback. He messaged me and posted his review. Since he is my friend on Facebook, he also posted photos of the food he ordered. Steven and I agreed to meet up for dinner and share our opinion re: the food, the ambiance and the service. I admit that I am truly amazed and quite impressed with JuXi (pronounced juicy). The ambiance is one of casual and comfy in an upscale level. Jazz music is softly playing in the background. I love the area in the back next to the bar. That setting is as comfy as sitting in my living room - couch, pillows and chairs. LOL. Hostess greeted us and escorted us to the rear of the restaurant. Service was indeed very attentive. Our waiter was very knowledgeable in describing the tofu toast. (Whipped tofu, Night Heron sourdough and coconut yogurt.) The waitstaff and the owner aimed to please. Beverage: Ginger chrysanthemum lemonade - refreshing, tart and not overly sweet. Perfect for a sourpuss like me. LOL. JuXi calamari (3.5 stars). Some of the rings were a tad too salty. The tentacles were on point - chewy, yet quite tender. Tofu toast as described above (4 stars). Smash chilies. Nice spicy kick. Fire roasted Chinese long hot peppers, stracciatella cheese, minced preserved eggs and Chinese donuts. (5 stars) Water spinach, wok fried with fermented bean curd sauce. (4 stars) Golden wings, Shoi koji marinated bone in flats with a salted duck egg glaze. These wings were bomb-diggity delicious. Crispy, on point, fried to perfection. (5 stars). Entree: Wagyu beef golden egg fried rice. I never had beef fried rice. Then I don't know any restaurants that serve it. Tender slices of beef with eggs and scallions. (5 stars) Okay, call me jaws, as my fellow yelper and I had room for dessert. Dessert was complimentary. I had the grilled peach with five spice agave glaze and black sesame cream. (5 stars) Yummy...fresh peach half and cream. The cuisine is Chinese, nontraditional, contemporary. The flavors are unique and I like to call this an adventure in dining. It is pricy. Dinner for two of us was $120, which included tax and tip. All what we had was excellent. I couldn't tell them I wanna slap the cook and his mama for preparing our dinner. (Figuratively speaking) Return visit? Yes for the small plate appetizers and the white rabbit candy fritter.

"JuXi" is a casual upscale Cantonese-inspired fusion restaurant in Alameda's Park Street downtown. Don't pickup the menu and expect to see typical Chinese food. JuXi offers unique dishes that are created from the fusion of different cuisines. I was there on a Tuesday evening during their soft opening phase. The beautiful interior features modern contemporary design with Chinese artwork. The spacious dining room includes a bar that stretches the length of the restaurant. Far in the back you will find a comfy lounge to relax in. Devonte, my server, did an awesome job with his knowledge of the dishes and his attention to detail. He knew so much about the preparation of a specific dish, it's like he prepared it himself. I ordered three small plates: - Golden Wings - Chili Oil Wontons - JuXi Calamari For my entree, I had Braised Beef Cheeks Drinks- I had HK Iced Tea No Dessert. All the food was delicious and lightly seasoned. The standouts were the JuXi Calamari and the Braised Beef Cheeks. The Braised Beef Cheeks reminded me of Chinese beef stew with daikon radish. It had that familiar flavor that took me back to "old school" meals in Chinatown. The daikon and carrots were slightly undercooked, making them a bit hard and crunchy. I would of preferred them fully cooked. The beef was very tender, and could be cut with a fork. Overall, a great first time experience! I'm going back to try more dishes, take nice pictures, and leave room for dessert. JuXi is ideal for the diner who enjoys trying new things and likes being treated well in an upscale atmosphere. Street parking. I parked over at Chochenyo Park and walked over. -------------- Welcome to Alameda, The Island City Support Local Business!

We had such a great time at JuXi! There were eight of us, and Devonte took amazing care of our group. He walked us through the menu and explained each dish so well. We ended up ordering almost everything, and the food was incredible! The place was packed on a Tuesday night, and now we know why. Great food, wonderful service, and lots of fun. Thanks, Devonte, for making our night even better! We will definitely be back again!

We had an amazing time here. Every dish was fresh and full of flavor. Staff were polite and helpful. The environment was comfortable. Reasonable prices for such great quality. 100% recommend this place!

White rabbit fritter
jackie h.

Delicious new spot in Alameda! Cantonese dishes with a twist -- was definitely unexpectedly and pleasantly surprised at the dishes. Bring friends and family to share so you can try as much as you like :) Our group had the green beans (perfectly cooked and seasoned -- do still ask for chili oil if you want extra kick and flavor), beef tartare, Chrysanthemum ceasar salad, and the crudo -- to start. Great balance, flavors, and texture. We also shared the beef cheeks entree which definitely had a nod to that comfort, home cooked stew. And we topped the night with the grilled peach and black seasame cream and the white rabbit fritter. Delicious! Will definitely be making this a regular spot

Really enjoyed our dinner here for soft opening- Inside: The inside was actually a really nice surprise! It has a cool bar, a comfy lounge area, and nice dinner tables. The dim lighting gives it a cozy, relaxing vibe--definitely a nice place for a night out. I also loved the little Alameda touches throughout the restaurant. I believe the owner went to Alameda High School, and there's even an Alameda jacket framed inside. Such a cool personal touch and a fun way to show some local pride! Service: Devonte was awesome! Our kids have food allergies, and he was really good about making sure we knew what they could and couldn't have. He took the time to explain the menu, gave us some great recommendations, and checked on us throughout dinner. He was friendly, attentive, and just made the whole experience really easy. Food: It's Chinese fusion, and honestly, everything we ordered was really good. The flavors worked so well together, and each dish had its own twist. My kids even said this was the best Chinese fusion they've ever had! And that's saying a lot! Overall, we had a great time. Good food, great service, nice atmosphere, and those little Alameda touches made it even more special. Definitely coming back!

Went to a preview/soft opening today. We ordered quite a few appetizers waiting for our party to show up on account of the partially closed 101. The servers were really understanding as we held up the table. Stand outs were the smashed chili dish and the salted egg yolk chicken wings. I think i would just eat that with rice and it would be a primo meal. I really like the cured eggs on the beef tartar. The fried string beans were solid, cooked well enough but still retaining the inner crunch, with nice blistering on the skin. Lots of places will fail the bean by overcooking it bc it is safer than undercooking the bean. I can tell the braised beef dish will be pretty popular. I liked that it came in a bed of mashed taro. The clam pasta was very flavorful. My friends really liked the Non-alcoholic selection. The kids really enjoyed the blue mango drink, which made fora nice blue mustache. Normally I dont care for decor but it was warm and inviting. It was much larger than I realized. Plates were plated well but I kept taking pics after we started eating bc we were starving (on account of our late arrivals) I'll definitely come back when they official open up and try the desserts. Good addition to Park street shops.

Beef fired rice is very good. The food was delicious, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the service was friendly and attentive. We had a great dining experience and would definitely come back again!

Tonight is their soft opening and what a delight! The Juxi Calamari is the best I've yet to taste from Anywhere. I could've eaten the whole plate. Our main entrees Dai Pai Dong Vongole and Hong Kong Bolognese were unique and tasteful. For dessert, we had the White Rabbit (candy) rolls wrapped in pastry. What a sweet surprise! The staff were very welcoming and owner/chef Kai personally came by to check on us. Our server was Hannah and she was such a fun and friendly person and who made the whole experience We will be back again!! Please stop by and support our local businesses. -- eating eating dinner at JuXi 菊錫.

It is a circular building located at the marina with nice panoramic view of the harbor and the yacht club. We were in a party room with good privacy. I took a peek at the main dining hall and it is quite nicely decorated with high ceilings and chandeliers and large windows with good view. The banquet food was okay, especially considering the location. It cannot really be compared to the best Bay Area Cantonese restaurants. We had Combination BBQ Platter, Deep Fried Shrimp Balls, Teriyaki Sauce Beef with Mixed Mushrooms, Sautéed Cuttlefish and Chicken, Sun Dried Scallop Soup, House Special Tea Smoked Chicken, Lobster in Garlic Butter Sauce, Smoked Sea Bass, and Yangzhou Fried Rice. The ones I liked were the House Special Tea Smoked Chicken and the Lobster in Garlic Butter Sauce. Portion sizes were rather generous. Service was decent, food came out at a good pace.

Huge parking lot and the front entrance has a den section, very roomy and is great for group picture . The building and the interior of the restaurant is classic and antique style, which is rare to be found in modern Chinese restaurants. We enjoyed the food , the service and the paramedic harbor view . Highly recommended.

I knew I wanted good Chinese food in a clean, safe area--not in Oakland, but with food just as good. We found Hong Kong City Cafe in Alameda, and the reviews looked promising. We walked in around 8:20 p.m., and the gentleman at the front let us know they closed at 9 p.m. I appreciated him making sure we knew before we sat down. We ordered some of our usual dishes so we could compare them to our favorite Chinese spot. The pork fried rice was good, but it had a little too much shredded lettuce for our liking. Thankfully, the pork was super tender and flavorful, so I would still give it an 8/10. I ordered the Wor Wonton Soup, and it probably had the best broth I've ever had. I can't explain the flavor--it was just DELICIOUS. It came loaded with pork, beef, shrimp, chicken, and shrimp-filled wontons. My husband ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken, and we both agreed it was the best we've ever had. I think the char on the vegetables really makes a difference. We also tried the Walnut Shrimp. It tasted more natural than other walnut shrimp we've had. We wished the shrimp had a little more crunch, but it was still really good. Overall, this was a 4/5-star experience. We wish we could have stayed longer, but they were closing, so we didn't want to hold them up. There was also a table of about 10 people drinking that made the restaurant really loud. Obviously, that's not the restaurant's fault, but it did affect our experience.

The broth was salty (but I love that) so I enjoyed. For the lunch plate, the friend rice was literally just rice fried with a scrambled egg. If you're into the healthier/plane fried rice, this is for you. If you want the salty, combination fried rice, don't do this add on. The chicken itself was VERY breaded and VERY sauce heavy, so if you're into that, this is for you. Personally, I like to taste the protein so I will probably opt for a different dish.

While we were leaving my niece said she was very uncomfortable there, but didn't want to say anything. The food was delicious, but we both agreed we'd probably order delivery next time. Our in person experience was just too unpleasant.

Ming's seems like an establishment for dim sum in Oakland, and I am glad I finally got to try it…read moreout. The building itself is so unassuming, you'd never expect a great dim sum place to be here! Came on a Saturday mid-afternoon, and fortunately, did not wait too long for a table. My partner and I definitely ordered TOO much for just us two, but we wanted to try an assortment of things! The standouts were their rice noodle roll w/ crispy shrimp, siumai, and hargow. Their siumai and hargow were so plump and juicy! Usually they're tiny at dim sum spots. Everything else was good as well! We even took some home to our families. My parents really enjoyed their chicken feet too! Service was amazing and fast. They are so kind! I get why Ming's is people's fave.

Terrible place to go if you are a vegetarian. Non starter. The only options are plain noodles,…read moreplain rice, or plain veggies. I had to make do because I was with a group. I asked them to show me what was vegetarian and took special care to note that I cannot eat shellfish. They circled things in CHINESE, not in English, so I ended up ordering something that had shrimp in it!!! And then I told the guy and he would not refund it because he "told us in advance" even though he circled in Chinese and still allowed me to order it after I just told him I couldn't eat that. So annoying. How do you have that level of incompetence at a restaurant?

Surprised that food and service are deteriorating not as before, although the restaurant is so…read morebeautiful. Service even doesn't reach the minimum standard, and was very passive. Food is too salty, not with traditional way for cooking. Need to drink a lot of water after meal. A very interesting example, a dish of goose foot, both knife and fork, and chopsticks do not work, best way to eat it is with hand, also full of "refrigerator smell" that means it had been kept in a refrigerator for too long. These are all needed for improving.

Always nice to have dim sum when you have a large group. East Ocean has been a long time favorite…read moreon the East Bay. We arrived shortly before opening at 10.30am on a Sunday. One of the benefits of getting there early is getting a window seat to enjoy the bay views. By 11.15am the restaurant was pretty full. We checked off our dim-sum items on a paper menu at our table and handed it to the staff. Food arrived promptly and served hot. We ordered our regular favorite dim sum and the hi lights were the taro pudding dessert, the crispy vermicelli with pork ( must request vinegar) and the chicken paws. In general the dim Sum were a good size and tasted as expected. But the chicken and fish maw was dry and lacked flavor. The chicken were irregular in size and just did not look appetizing. It did come with a mushroom and fake crabmeat. Definitely had better elsewhere. Overall, a huge restaurant, with great views and ample variety of dim-sum to choose from. Staff were quick and efficient. They also have their own lot, so parking was easy.
