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
Hong Kong East Ocean is proud to offer a truly private waterfront destination for your special event. Our standalone property features exclusive parking, no shared businesses, and the ability to reserve individual rooms or the entire restaurant for complete privacy.
The grounds surrounding our building are fully landscaped, offering a serene setting seldom found in the Bay Area. With sweeping ocean and marina views, our venue provides multiple locations for photography—ideal for weddings, family gatherings, and corporate occasions.
Our lower-level dining hall accommodates up to 450 guests, while the Lounge and Marina VIP rooms host smaller private groups. Together, our spaces support events of up to 600 guests with the rare advantage of full exclusivity.
Equally distinguished is our culinary tradition. All dim sum is handmade fresh each morning, never mass-produced or reheated. Our BBQ pork is roasted by hand in the time-honored Cantonese method, delivering the depth and quality expected of a classic banquet house.
