New Oakland Seafood Restaurant gone!

[essvee]

I haven't been to Oakland Chinatown for a long while. Went to get my hair cut and saw that New Oakland Seafood Restaurant is gone, replaced by yet another of those odious "coffee shop" kind of restaurants. Very sad for me, lots of special occasions there. Loved their crab with preserved egg, West Lake rock cod soup, geoduck two ways, chix stuffed with sticky rice.

We didn't go often enough, as we liked their expensive dishes very much. Does any one know what happened, if they have another restaurant, etc.? They used to operate the restaurant across the street, but sold that a couple two three years ago. I hope they are running another joint somewhere. They will be missed. By me and mine anyway.

Oh, that's so sad. I haven't been for a few months, but they were always an old reliable for me when I needed decent Cantonese seafood. They also always had snails in season too, which was a major draw, and a deft hand with vegetables.
