Pacific Lighthouse

Pacific Lighthouse sits on the Pacific Marina in Alameda, offering a Cantonese‑style dim sum experience with panoramic views of the Oakland Estuary and the Alameda Yacht Club. The spacious dining room, with floor‑to‑ceiling windows, lets guests watch sailboats glide by while enjoying a full bar and a menu that blends classic dim sum with fresh seafood. Signature dishes include steaming baskets of har gow, siu mai filled with succulent king crab, and delicate sea bass dumplings, all prepared tableside by Chef Ming‑Wei. For larger gatherings, the venue can host up to 700 guests on its private banquet floor, complete with a dance floor, karaoke system, and customizable catering trays that feature everything from shrimp toast to Peking duck. Opening hours are Monday‑Thursday 10:30 am‑3 pm and 5‑9 pm; Friday‑Sunday 10 am‑3 pm and 5‑9:30 pm, with a moderate price range that suits families and business groups alike. The interior combines nautical accents—rope‑wrapped light fixtures and reclaimed wood tables—with modern art, creating a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Whether you’re stopping by for a weekend brunch of pork buns and egg tarts, celebrating a wedding with a view of the bay, or ordering a party tray for a corporate event, Pacific Lighthouse delivers consistent service and authentic flavors. Reservations are recommended during peak lunch hours, and the friendly staff are happy to guide first‑time visitors through the menu. The restaurant’s convenient location near the Alameda‑Oakland ferry makes it an easy stop for tourists exploring the East Bay waterfront.
