About Us
History
Hong Kong East Ocean Seafood Restaurant, established in 1989, is renowned for being one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s premier oceanfront dining destinations. Situated at the tip of Emeryville Marina, the restaurant offers diners a panoramic view of the San Francisco Bay, including landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and Treasure Island.
Known for its authentic Cantonese cuisine, the restaurant is particularly famous for its freshly prepared dim sum. The combination of high-quality food and scenic oceanfront views makes it an ideal location for various events, including private gatherings, corporate meetings, and weddings. The setting, enhanced by the proximity to the water and iconic landmarks, provides a picturesque backdrop for special occasions.
Accommodation
After the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, which severely impacted the San Francisco Bay Area, we spent a year rebuilding our facility from the ground up. Today, our restaurant proudly offers breathtaking ocean views and versatile dining spaces.
- The main dining area on the lower level accommodates up to 450 guests, providing stunning views of the bay.
- Our Lounge dining hall seats up to 80 guests, ideal for private events and gatherings.
- Our Marina VIP room on the upper floor can host up to 60 guests, offering exclusive views of the Emeryville Marina Yacht Club.
With a total seating capacity of around 600 guests, we’ve had the honor of serving over 1 million guests between 2012 and 2022.
We look forward to welcoming you and making your experience unforgettable!
