Oakland: Chinatown Walking Tour
We'll visit some of the most popular eateries and landmarks in the Oakland Chinatown neighborhood - one of the oldest Chinatowns in the United States!
Oakland Chinatown's hand-pulled noodle comes from Shan Dong on 10th Street, the corridor's most-loved counter. Watch the pull through the front window.
Oakland's Chinatown is the country's fourth-largest, dating to the 1850s. Northern Chinese hand-pulled lamian noodles arrived with later waves of mainland migration in the 1980s and 1990s. Shan Dong on 10th Street has run the Bay Area's most-loved hand-pulled noodle counter for over thirty years, pulling fresh dough behind a glassed-in counter at the front of the room.
