I'm actually quite surprised by the mid ratings for this place. This is probably the most talked about spot for authentic Chinese food in the Berkeley area. Pretty much everyone I know that is from China recommends this spot for great dishes, and I would agree with them. I came here once a few years ago but didn't really remember how everything was, but this time I returned to actually dine again. Upon arriving we got seated immediately and were able to order on an iPad.
We got the sticky rice pork ribs with corn, griddled egg tofu, and stir fry fish fillets with chili. All three items were spectacular! The sticky rice looked plain at first, but once you dig down and mix it with the flavorful pork it's so good. Perfectly cooked and chewy, and there was a generous amount of pork as well. The griddled egg tofu comes with broccoli, and the sauce for this is so good and goes with everything! My favorite dish of the night was actually surprisingly the fish. It was cooked with a bunch of aromatics and a sauce that was so savory and delicious. Paired with rice, it was absolutely perfect.
While there really isn't traditional service with someone coming to take your order, I almost prefer it this way since you can directly order what you want when you're ready. For the quality, taste, and quantity of food here I would definitely come back and would recommend trying this spot if you're in the area! read more
