About Ben's

Ben's is one of the chinese restaurants listed in Oakland, California. The business is registered at 398 3rd St, Oakland, CA 94607; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip.

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 5 days of the week. Typical hours are 7–10 am. It is closed on Saturday, Sunday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach Ben's at (510) 763-8336; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.

Customers rate it 4.8 out of 5 on Google across 116 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded chinese restaurants in Oakland.

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.

Got myself beef broccoli with chow mein to go. Really enjoyed the food, it’s filling, the seasoning is there. Snap peas were sweet and crunchy, so was the broccoli. Coming back soon.

I went here after a Google search... I wanted some good Chinese Fried Rice! This place is tucked in the cuts off Broadway. The inside is not clean--its very dirty. The refrigerator where the refreshments are kept, the glass appears that it hasn't been cleaned in months! It's pretty ran down on the inside, with a super high counter, so you can't see into the kitchen area. I ordered the Ben's Special Fried Rice. The rice was good, although overpriced, and especially for the condition of the restaurant and are. I paid $30.00 for 2 orders of house special Fried rice. Although I actually loved their chilli/jalapeno sauce, I probably wouldn't go back because of the condition of the place.

Really good food, very fresh. I ordered the chicken fried rice as takeout, chicken was fresh and juicy, not overcooked and the taste was spot on. Goes well with the included hot sauce which is mildly hot. Ambience is not great as it is a warehouse neighborhood, recommend food as takeout.

Yum! Hole in the wall gem. Food is fresh and delicious, I ate my whole plate in one sitting. Ben was cooking up the food, friendly waiter, no wonder they’ve been open so long. Cash or PayPal/cash app only.

Our lunch here was fantastic. The food was superb. David, the guy who greeted us and waited on us is truly a friendly person, and his dad, Ben is cooking in this wonderful hole-in-the-wall restaurant. We'll be back! We had Ben's fried rice, and Ben's Chow Mein. Both were delicious, and the topper is the chili sauce they make in-house. Yum!
