About Qi Dumpling Lounge
Located at 3300 Grand Ave, Oakland, CA 94610, Qi Dumpling Lounge operates as a shanghainese serving Oakland in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.
In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Oakland; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in California are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.
The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. The most common schedule is 12–3 pm. It is closed on Tuesday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach Qi Dumpling Lounge at (510) 823-2082; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is qidumplinglounge.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
On Google it holds a rating of 4.3 out of 5 from 174 reviews, which is a strong result for a shanghainese in Oakland and suggests consistent service.
Oakland is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Oakland follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I go here every few weeks with my girlfriend, we enjoy the chill atmosphere inside, close to a bunch of walkable storefronts around Lakeshore/Grand Ave. Food quality is impeccable, we have loved everything we had so far and the owner Isaac has recommended us really great dishes like the Szechuan Chili Fish Soup amongst other dishes. Really good price quality too, definitely worthwhile going and trying them out if you can!

Environment: I felt at peace here, they have dim lightning that makes you feel welcomed. Price: reasonable, $9 for 6 dumplings. $13-$15 for entrees. Service: good service. I got the following dishes: 1. Potstickers: I could tell they were made fresh. The sauce they came with wasn’t very appetizing. the potstickers had more flavor than the sauce. 2. Coconut curry with chicken: this dish is so SPICY. I had tears in my eye from eating it. My boyfriend says that as he kept eating the dish, the spice subsided. 3. Garlic noodles with shredded pork: highly recommended. It has a butter base and taste somewhat sweet but the sweetness isn’t overwhelming at all. This dish made the whole experience better. It has the perfect seasonings on it. Hat off to the chef! Would I go back: yes but I won’t be getting anything spicy.

I would say 3.5 stars. We had a baby two months back and so cooking at home in the beginning was tough so our friends gave us grubhub as a gift to order food from outside - genius idea! We were feeling like asian cuisine so gave Qi Dumpling a try! Between the two of us we ordered: - pot stickers - garlic noodles - minced pork with braised eggplant Pot stickers were really nice and surprisingly not soggy eventhough this is home delivery - we weren't the biggest fan of the sauce they came with though. Garlic noodles were flavorful, thick and delicious - yummy! I was really excited about the braised eggplant dish but unfortunately it was swimming in oil - major disappointment on this dish, although the pics people have taken at the restaurant itself doesn't seem to be so oily so would love to actually go there and give it another try! All in all it was good food, huge portions (we finished everything but overate) and good pricing. Their location is pretty close to everything so kudos!
