Legendary Palace 708 Franklin St. Oakland, CA 94607 510-663-9188	Chinese	We went here for a family birthday dinner. The food was pretty good, and the ambience was much better than your average Chinese restaurant (among other things, you could converse at normal [American] speaking levels...). Try this place!
