"The dirtier the Chinese restaurant, the tastier it is", as someone told me this years back. Don't allow this location and surrounding areas fool you. A small hole in a wall, you will find your average Chinese spot where you point and choose what you want. The lady is super nice and gives you good portions. The food is actually good. Just good ol' Chinese food. Is it better than your favorite Chinese spot? Probably not. Will you get satisfied and get the fix you crave when you want Chinese food with "magic yum yum seasoning" (MSG), hell yes.

Somebody's lying. There is always a line. The food is always fresh and hot. the kitchen is clean as it can be, and the prices are very affordable. I go here all the time and I'm never disappointed. Big daddy's is a small corner Chinese hot table that I think is one of the best well -priced places in Oakland.

Ordered large salt and Pepper ribs, the box was not full at all. The quality of the ribs were not good. It looked as if someone fried scraps and placed in the "large," box... never again...... way overpriced for unflavored food.....

Food was good. The dried fried ribs are TO DIE FOR!!! So damn good!!!?Service was quick and the lady seemed pretty friendly and had no issues answering my questions.Idk why people are saying the lady behind the counter is rude/impatient. She seemed to me like your standard-issue average asian lady business owner that runs a chinese food spot in the hood. Are these people expecting her to listen to their life story or something before she serves them their order?????Anyways, food is good and the dried fried ribs are a MUST HAVE!!!?
