    Chicken Burrito
    Timothy N.

    I got the Himalayan chicken burrito. It was okay. The chutney/sauce they used was tangy with a mild sweetness which is nice. The chicken was cooked well and the rice was too. I have two main criticisms which is that the burrito is mostly rice and there was a small amount of chicken (for 16 dollars). As I ate more of the burrito I noticed there wasn't any more sauce. Eventually everything tasted the same and it was texturally uninteresting. Perhaps the addition of ingredients with a different texture and/or flavor and more evenly distributed ingredients would improve the enjoyment of the burrito. The staff are pretty nice and the restaurant is not busy and chill. I enjoyed spending my time here and would come back to try something else.

    Garlic rice
    Young K.

    Given that it's next to Cal campus, the dishes and prices are student friendly. My friend and I ordered: -Chicken tikka -Aloo gobhi -Garlic rice -Garlic naan The chicken was good but a little dry. Aloo gobhi was delicious. I think we could've done without the garlic rice tho - buttery but mild in flavor, probably not worth the price. The garlic naan was great - a bit more doughy than average but chewy yumminess. Tho it's a self order and bus your own table, the wait staff was nice and came around to check on us. Given my experience I plan to try their lamb biryani.

    amazing service amazing food very flavorful and affordable not busy and food. Came out very fast. Also, staff was very nice. clean floors and counters as well.

    Paneer Tikka Masala
    Sarah H.

    The naan was huge and really good! I got the paneer tikka masala which was tasty but I wish I had gotten it spicier. I also accidentally ordered this thinking I got chicken tikka masala, which i probably would've enjoyed more. The workers were friendly and my group of 7 left happy.

    Garlic Naan
    Blu M.

    Pretty good Indian in really close proximity to Cal campus. I was originally nervous coming here once this spot was rebranded from the previous location but I am happy to say the quality of the food has stayed the same! Himalayan Bite is a reliable spot to get some grub for a quick and tasty meal. The restaurant itself is relatively small, able to comfortable sit maybe 15 people! Service is always great and staff is helpful. You order at your table from your phone via QR code and someone will bring your food in about 10 minutes! I typically go for their chicken korma, aloo saag, and chana. The korma is great! Very rich, creamy curry with good spice. Chicken is very tender and flavorful. All the vegetarian/vegan options I have eaten here have been fantastic too! I love their naan and kulcha, especially the garlic naan and onion kulcha. Very good, not overcooked and great texture. I find myself coming here in between classes or when I am on the run. A reliable place with friendly pricing, check it out!

    Veggie curry with rice
    Ms S.

    I went for lunch today, and loved their vegetarian soup, veg curry with paneer, gobi, channa and rice. So delicious and fresh on a clear, chilly afternoon! The server was so nice, and you cannot beat the price!

    V Bento
    Arsha T.

    I ordered Veggie Bento & Chicken Bento. Both were great. Their chicken was tasty. The service was great. It was pretty quiet & there weren't many people.

    Kale Chaat, Garlic Naan, Goat Cheese Naan.
    Robert-Jessica C.

    Himalayan Bite is a new, reliable go-to for us! My god, the KALE CHAAT! An *inspired*dish! I now crave it! The naans are bliss for this carb-addict. I'll be working my way through their many menu offerings but I can't bring myself to not order the kale chaat and a naan. And chai. We came to Himalayan Bite by chance. Noodle Dynasty had just closed for the evening. Wondering where to go as we walked, just a couple doors north was Himalayan Bite. It was rather empty but it was open and we were hungry! (The sign in the window stating that they also serve Jain food was a positive bias for me.) The cherry on too: the guys working there - so welcoming. They make it clear that they want your experience to be a good one.

The plum sauce was probably my favorite part. 2. Salt and pepper prawns 4.5/5 Note that these come with the skin on but it's fried so perfectly that the skin is completely edible with a crunchy texture. 3. Combination fried rice 5/5 I was surprised how much we enjoyed this but it was really well done. 4. Guo ta fish fillet 5/5 This was excellent--very tender fish fillet with a perfect soy broth sauce 5. Crysanthemum leaves with fermented tofu sauce 3/5 On the salty side All in all, even though I came for the peking duck, I found that the other items were much better!

    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.

The cumin lamb was no longer 90% peppers but a generous portion of lamb and a good ratio of peppers. The crispy chicken appetizer was delightful. The dry green beans had a snap. It was such a complete reversal from the last experiences that I'm glad I went back and we will certainly continue to satisfy our Szechuan cravings with this place. I had braced myself expecting in these dire times with many food places closing or gasping with high costs, a less than stellar experience. What a wonderful surprise!

Cool to see a restaurant stick around for that long. We got to the restaurant right when it opened for lunch at 11:30 on Sunday. Free street parking on Sunday! I thought everything was solid top to bottom, but here is my ranking in descending order: Braised Eggplant Tofu Clay Pot - I generally like this dish everywhere and they have a good version on this here - seasoned well, tender eggplant, and nice texture on the tofu Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings - non-traditional "salt & pepper" - thick coating of tempura-like batter, very peppery (black pepper), and wings set on a bed of sauteed onions. Sesame Bread with Green Onion - tasty, but unlike other "da bing" I've had. This was on the thin side, meaning you have a lot more crispy outside compared fluffy inside. This was also lighter on the green onion. Classic Shrimp & Chive Dumpling - can't go wrong with dumplings - an order comes with 12 dumplings, each filled with big pieces of shrimp. I liked the texture but it is a little different - looser filling instead of a solid meat/veg ball on the inside. Original Braised Pork Noodle Soup - I liked the flavor of the soup and noodles. There was a ton of meat (diced) but they were on the tough side.

FYI, the pan fried buns take a bit of additional time and come piping hot. I would wait a few minutes before eating, or check out a video on @yelpbayarea of how to eat soup dumplings! Another note, you order from an iPad that's handed to you upon arrival once seated. Make sure after you 'add items to cart' you submit your order. We left that step out and didn't realize until a few minutes later. Staff is friendly and make sure to ask if anything additional is needed like napkins, etc. Overall a fun experience, fair pricing, located in the hustle and bustle of the mall, and cool digs if you're looking for a comfortable dining experience without the frills.
