I just really did not like the food here. It didn’t taste fresh and there’s some sort of coating on the food that taste very weird in my mouth. I’m not even sure how to explain it. Also if you’re vegetarian or vegan don’t eat here. Some of my chicken fell into the rice and he just scooped it using the rice scooper and put the same scooper back in. The kungpao and spicy chicken were probably the worst things I’ve eaten in a while and were idk chewy like gamey and not crispy. I’m sad I spent $14 here. This is how much of my food is left. Just not for me at all and now I’m hungry and my tongue feels weird and I need a pallet cleanser. Edit: i've since found out that the ingredient that is not sitting well with my stomach and makes my mouth feel weird and tingly and made everything else also taste worst is the sichuan peppercorns that they use in their seasonings. I tasted it specifically on the spicy chicken. Some other people I was with liked it and others did not. I especially did not as you can tell.

The dishes were authentic Sichuan flavors. The lamb soup, in particular, was exceptionally tender and flavorful. If you’re a fan of spicy food, this place is a must-visit. The staff were both friendly and attentive, ensuring we were well cared for throughout our meal. I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of the menu!

Great China is probably my favorite Chinese restaurant in Berkeley. I’ve been coming here for 20 years when it was a tiny restaurant a couple blocks from the current location. The food is tremendous and is always fresh and perfectly prepared. I think the lunch specials are a great deal with big portions. The shrimp dishes are all excellent and so is the fish. And I love the sautéed green beans and the snow pea leaves. There’s a bar with a lot of wines but I’ve never tried anything here.

The last time I went to Great China was when they were in their old location. This new location is spacious and very minimalistic looking. For the food, it is GREAT! For the price it is slightly pricier, but you can taste and see the quality! Everything was on point and so good! I ordered 3 dishes, tea, and rice. The total is a lot, but like I stated before it is the quality you are paying for!

I was on the line and I saw how small portions of food customers are getting. It's way less comparing to other Panda Express. Server's hand was shaking... to trying to give less food. I walked out. Students are always hungry! Berkeley is college town.

Food is great, and I really like going here for a quick bite. However, they repeatedly advertise themselves as being vegetarian friendly but never have their eggplant tofu dish, their single meatless entree, but never have it available despite it being on the menu. Three times I’ve gone in this week to grab a bite with friends, and simply due to my dietary restrictions, I’ve had to get my own food from elsewhere. Not vegan/vegetarian friendly, especially in a location like Berkeley.
