I have been here for three times and it tastes really nice. The grilled fish is highly recommended, and their service is also very nice. Last time we brought our moon cake here to celebrate the mid autumn festival, and they even helped us to cut the cake! Highly recommended

After re-opening at this new location, Easterly has become our new go-to when we've wanted a great meal. Our favorite is always the perilla leaf boiling fish 紫苏水煮鱼 which is super flavorful and comes with big portions. Also, another new item to this location are the scallion pancakes, which are honestly some of the best we've ever had. Dishes can be made not spicy, which is a nice option, and portions are generous—we had enough leftovers for another meal. The place has been busy each time we’ve gone, but the new location is more spacious and easier to find parking than the previous one, which makes for a more comfortable experience overall. Also the staff is super friendly and helpful. I really appreciated their attention to detail when they helped us pack and with the sturdy takeout containers that they provided for our leftovers. I would definitely recommend this place, especially for group outings.

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!

This spot delivers a malatang experience that feels both authentic and customizable. The star of the show is undoubtedly their dipping sauces. The selection is generous, featuring everything from fragrant sesame paste to tangy soy-based blends and fiery chili oils. They encourage creativity, and mixing their sauces feels like a culinary experiment that always pays off. Pair this with their fresh, varied ingredients and the comforting spice of the broth, and you have a meal that’s warm, rich, and endlessly satisfying. Whether you prefer mild or mouth-numbingly spicy, the dip sauces elevate every bite to perfection.

Tasty pot, get out the way. I went way over board and spent enough for 3 meals(which I now have) - still worth it! I tried everything I wanted. The broth is better than most places I go to. It's a more involved but more treat yo self meal then flat but noodles. Highly recommend making your mix of chili oil, garlic, plenty of green onions/cilantro, with a lil sesame oil to make things interesting. I got everything - noodles, scallops/mussels, meat, gizzards/tripe - and it was all either tender or cooked perfectly

Good authentic Chinese food at a reasonable price. This place was very close to the hotel I was staying at and seeing that it was not the usual cheap Chinese, I decided to try it out. I ordered the beef rice noodle roll and a shrimp wonton noodle soup. The noodle soup was okay. I enjoyed it but it was a bit bland. The beef rice noodle roll was very good. In addition to the sauce on the roll, the beef was also marinated and nicely seasoned. Service was quick for ordering and for the food delivery. If I was in the area again, I would definitely come back.

Quick service. Porridge (jook) is good but could use a little more flavor. Rice noodle and marinated shrimp and beef taste good but noodles did fall apart. Kids love won ton mien. Good value and decent Chinese food.

In a nutshell; great chinese food in the day, even greater at midnight. Stopped by here to get some good food and something to warm the eve. As the nights were cool and breezy after a days activities. Parking can be a pain as you can only get lucky with street parking and can be tough when there's an event nearby or the aftermath of one. Nonetheless, place served great food even when you're the only customers during the late nights. Overall would stop by again if ever in Berkeley.

Delicious and authentic mainland food! The meat skewers were seasoned to perfection, the cold dishes were refreshing and tasty. Everything came super fast and piping hot. Excited to come back and try more!
