    Scallop an shrimp xo, Classic Wonton Soup 雲吞湯, minced chicken, and egg foo young
    Erica B.

    We had a lunar new year feast and it was all delicious. I've come here for amazing Szechuan spicy fish and dumplings, but today went with my mom's fav egg foo young (best I've ever had) and scallop and shrimp xoxo stirfry. It ties with Great China for my fav Chinese in the area. Coming back soon for the whole dungenous crab! Seafood here is a great value.

    bbq roast pork ?

    after years of ordering an thoroughly enjoying this restaurant I received an order of BBQ PORK for $19 that was not edible ! the pieces were all dime sized , not slices , like little leftover pieces that were left in the cutting board after a day of cutting it up ! the delicious moist slices that used to be served were non existent! ! some pieces were so overcooked they were mahogany color and not chewable ! when I called to explain there was no compensation offered and the excuse was they have a new Chef! I wish them well! BTW, the fried rice was ok! which saved this review from 1 star !

    Pea shoots.

    Michelin recommended restaurant that has been a neighborhood favorite for many years. We came here for a special family meal and had many dishes. What was good: the tea smoked duck was the best dish we had. We also enjoyed the Singapore rice noodles, the pea shoots, green beans, sweet & sour prawns, sesame mochi balls & sweet bean paste-filled panfried pancakes. What was alright: spicy won tons, panfried chow mein topped with cabbage & meats. I was not a fan of the Westlake soup (the meat was tough & chewy), the rib eye & cilantro dish (both the beef & cilantro were hard & chewy) or the mochi ball dessert soup which had diced raw onions in it. Otherwise it was overall a good meal and there are many options. Good service, nice interior and generous portions.

    Food- 3/5 because my brother-in-law said Szechuan Chicken was not what he expected. Everything else was good Service- 3/5. Felt rushed by the staff. We asked for 5 minutes to decide on our orders. He came back in 3 minutes. He brought the check while we were in the middle of eating our meals. Not sure what his rush was. Happy that I was able to check this place off of our list. Will go back because I loved their food. Let's hope their customer service is better next time.

    I tried to this famous shop in solano.Noodle is good.Service is not sure beacause only Togo.Ambiance is cozy and good.

    Beef in chili oil (phenomenal)
    Denzel T.

    I recently tried China Village with a buddy. He said it was on one of the Michelin guides so I figured I'd give it a go! We ordered several dishes including the green beans, beef in chili oil, Dan Dan noodles in sesame, and pork shank. The green beans were excellent. Soft and well seasoned with the perfect kick. The pork shank in sauce was also awesome with a generous portion and tasty sauce. IMO the star of the show was the beef in chili oil. There was a super large portion that also contained some cabbage and veg. I will say say that the Dan Dan noodles were pretty underwhelming so that takes them down a notch, but otherwise the food was excellent. The vibe inside was solid. Clearly a family joint that draws in a lot of locals. The servers were nice and offered some recommendations for us. I will definitely come back for more of that beef and green beans!

It was a rocky start at first but it smoothed out and the taste is exactly at the same tier when we first started. We found new items to add to our regular order and we love how this place has turned out. We see way more diverse families dining here and I see they expanded the menu to accommodate new customers that want to try something but be overwhelmed. I also noticed the usual groups coming in so it's a great balance between staying true to the authentic flavors while still being open to different taste palates. The hosts and waitresses are nice and don't make you feel uncomfortable when you don't know what to order just yet. They're helpful in answering questions without making you feel embarrassed. I also noticed they're attentive in how they seat their customers. Food overall has been great with the veggies in general. We always default to the boiled beef and end up using it to dip everything else into. We really like the tofu options and the dish with small lotus that are a little sour. Each dish comes out hot and they're generous in the bowl of rice they give you. I still plan on coming here regularly and my family still enjoys all the leftovers I bring home each time.

Half of the table prefers the spicy style and the other half prefers salted egg yolk. The fish is my other favorite. Doesn't matter if it's chili oil or pickled veggies. Always fire.

The Chongqing noodles are surprisingly light in flavor with much less spice than I expected. Service can be hit or miss in terms of speed. There's often only 1 server so please be kind/patient! They're working hard. The interior is spacious, which makes it great for group dinners.

I also saw that they served "house made" Potstickers, so I had to try them. I was there on a Tuesday evening at around 5pm. This place has a very cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Their Wor Won Ton Soup is served with a rich, brown broth. The satisfying soup is loaded with veggies, meats, shrimp and 9-10 dumplings. The potstickers came after my soup, but they were worth the wait. They were fresh, plump and tasty. While I was waiting for them to be served, I heard a familiar sound coming from the kitchen.....a rapid chopping sound. It brought back memories of my grandmother making dumplings, and finely chopping the meat for the filling. Service was prompt and attentive. Much attention to detail. For dessert, at no extra charge.....a unique way to serve orange wedges. I plan to return and try their lunch plates.

My mother's chicken with vegetables was more bland than any Chinese American food I've had. No garlic or ginger flavor in the sauce. Some of the veggies were barely cooked. The service was fine and came fairly quickly. Nice sized portions. The bathroom desperately needs attention. I would not recommend or return.

Since there is fairly limited seating, wait times can be rough, especially if you're going during lunch or dinner rush. I've waited 30-45 minutes before. The restaurant is pretty small so tables are pretty close to each other and it may be difficult to be seated quickly if you're going in with a larger group. That asides, the food as Noodle Dynasty is unmatched. I typically get their noodle soups, which are a massive portion size, & appetizers, such as lamb skewers, spicy wontons, and chinese doughnuts. To this day, I think that the spicy wontons are the best in the area - super flavorful beyond just the chili oil taste. Definitely recommend getting these! You order on a tablet & food comes out so fast. Could not recommend this place enough!

It is such a shame, because they have a nice establishment, but customer service is not up to par.

    When I first heard of Great China, I assumed it would be more of a casual neighborhood mom-and-pop…read morespot, but I was definitely wrong. It's actually a popular, higher-end Chinese restaurant in downtown Berkeley, and judging by the number of people waiting to be seated on a weekend only 30 minutes after opening, it clearly does very well. One note: I often see long weekend lines forming even before opening, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation or arriving early. We came here with one thing in mind: Peking duck. It was prepared beautifully, with the exact nostalgic flavor and crispy skin I was hoping for. I also loved the way they presented the thin pancakes--half-folded and slightly overlapping each other--so you didn't have to worry about peeling each layer apart and accidentally ripping them. The dipping sauce and green onions were provided on the side, though I do wish they included thinly sliced cucumber to complete the experience. My husband also ordered the fish, which turned out soft, delicate, and delicious. It was a nice complement to the duck and rounded out the meal really well. My only real critique of Great China is the pricing. You're definitely paying a premium here, but the food does taste authentic and well-executed. Given the limited competition in the area, I can see why it feels justifiable if you live nearby. That said, it may not be as worth the splurge for people who already have easy access to more traditional, old-school Chinese restaurants.

I have also never felt the need to publicly speak on racism in my life, but what happened here was too blatant to ignore. For context, I am a student at University of California, Berkeley and a PM at a Fortune 500 company. I say that only to make clear that I am a professional person who understands how to treat others with respect and how basic customer service should work. I came in for a pickup order and stood there attempting multiple times to get the employee's attention. She ignored me repeatedly, even looking directly in my direction without acknowledging me. Then I heard her say hello, and for a moment assumed she was finally speaking to me. Instead, she intentionally greeted and assisted a couple who had just walked in behind me. After helping them, she again looked my way and continued to avoid acknowledging me. In that moment, the treatment felt deliberate and discriminatory. When she finally addressed me, the interaction remained hostile. She appeared suspicious of whether the pickup order was actually mine, despite me giving the correct name that was already listed on the receipt and not visible to me beforehand. Beyond the service, the food itself was equally disappointing. I ordered the orange chicken, and it was some of the driest, lowest-quality chicken I have had anywhere. I have traveled extensively and eaten food all over the world, and it is rare to experience food this poor combined with service this disrespectful. This was an embarrassing experience for a business located near University of California, Berkeley. There are many better options nearby, and I would strongly recommend spending your money elsewhere. No one should have to deal with treatment like this or pay for a meal like this.
