Bing Kong Tong - Oakland

Not much to say about New Gold Medal except that it has been a long-running institution for decades, and before that it was Sun Hong Kong Restaurant.__This

If you are looking for porridge and noodles set breakfast, this is the right place I visited for the first time today to dine in for breakfast.

Was frantically looking for a spot to eat a very late lunch and settles for this place. I kept flip flopping between the burger and mussels and when I told the waitress I wasn 't ready, she didn 't come back until 20 25 minutes later. Apparently she forgot due to some jet lag she was experiencing. Anywayyyyys...she offered to comp my glass of Pinot noir which totally appeased me. I sat outside and munched on bottomless French bread and soft butter. The heat lamps were on so I wasn 't freezing at all on this winter cold day. I decided to have the mussels with garlic and lemon. It was amazing! I kept asking for bread to soak up the broth. Cute neighborhood with ample parking (at least during the time I went which was around 1:45/2... . If I do come back, I 'll get the burger! With Brie....I would have given 4 stars, but she took a while and I had to wave to her while she was inside and I was out front outside. She then sent the bartender over to take my order. And another thing, she had forgotten to get me water I had to ask twice. She was friendly and did explain herself but I felt, by that point, it was kind of too far into the experience to assign 4 stars. Hope this explains to that other Yelper who couldn 't seem to understand where the 3 stars came from.

Food was great an service was good great surounding talk to a lotpeople an ate a lot of foodi would go back againit was fun an exiting
