This is the sister restaurant (actually brothers) of the recently closed Shen Yua in Elmwood. My 10-year-old daughter and I stop by because we were craving some of the favorites.

I found this place when covid first hit and FELL IN LOVE. I literally drive from lake Berryessa to Berkeley JUST for their Shanghai garlic noodles alone! 10/10 recommend this place! Lemon chicken is to die for! The staff is always top tier and the experience when dining in is definitely worth the prices. Takeout is not poorly done either! GREAT PORTIONS!

This is a timeless gem of a restaurant, with unbelievable flavors that are deep and bright. The service is wonderful and has consistently been so for over ten years.

High quality Chinese fare. Nice decor, calming & romantic for couples. Also outfitted with a long bar suitable for solo dining. There’s a beautiful garden / space in the back but it seems under utilized. A hidden gem on Solano. Wheelchair accessible, no steps.

Now that I’m in a better mood I’m editing to 4 stars because their food is quite good (albeit overpriced) and they deserve a better review. Be aware though, RICE IS NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR ORDER. If only restaurants would make this as clear on their menu as I just did, then customers ordering delivery wouldn’t be left stranded eating dishes like Kung Pao Chicken etc…without rice!

Old school Berkeley Chinese favorite a little bit more expensive and usually a cut above, in recent years has become a little dull and flavorless. I ordered the Kung Pao chicken, and shrimp dumplings, both of which were flavorless, and the shrimp dumplings were a waste of time both times I ordered them. I hope they do better next time.

As always it never fails. Great food great drinks great service and good prices. We love this spot. The owners know us but she treats everyone just as nice and equally. Recommend to anyone who is looking for this cuisine.

It’s American-version Chinese food, not real Chinese food. The only good thing is the decoration, with a large window you can look into the kitchen. However. Since I can stare at the kitchen, I notice none of the chef is Asian. Maybe that’s the reason why the buns are stiff, the eggplant are flavorless, the chicken is deep fried.
