Re: “The Best Chinese Restaurant in Oakland That You've Never Heard Of”
I've been going to Ben's for a year, the food is delicious and inexpensive but what keeps me coming back is how fresh it is. They are located in the produce district and it shows. Ben knows how to cook vegetables, not overcook them like most restaurants. Expect warm service, great inexpensive food and don't forget to bring cash.
