What tony king doesn't like about Best Taste:

Despite once offering wonderful clay pot dishes, Best Taste restaurant in Oakland's Chinatown has seen a sharp decline in quality and service since the pandemic. Customers have reported finding their favorite dishes to be fishy and stale, with concerns about cleanliness and insects in to-go orders. On the other hand, new owners have brought an improvement in food quality and prices. While parking in the area is a challenge, the restaurant itself has some standout dishes and attentive service. Overall, Best Taste offers a mix of disappointing and delightful experiences for diners.

I don't know if I ordered wrong or what but I didn't like the food here much I tried the eel rice clay pot that took a while to make.

Originated in the southern part of China, clay pot rice is one of the signature dishes of Hong Kong.
