Honestly such a classic great meal that really does "clean Chinese food" so well. All dishes are on the pricier side for Chinese food but you pay for the quality and the service. There are lots of bigger tables for big parties that you can make reservations for but there's usually not too bad of a wait for smaller parties on the weekends. We tried the half-tea smoked duck since we didn't want to get the peking duck for just 2 people and it was nowhere near as good or moist, much chewier and with a smokier flavor - I don't recommend if you're used to the traditional Peking duck. Otherwise all our other dishes were fantastic and you can never really go wrong with Great China for a nice easy meal.
This place is wonderful if you want a fancy sit down restaurant for the family or friends. I absolutely enjoyed my meal here. We got the tofu, the orange chicken, chow mein, kung pao chicken, broccoli beef, garlic fried rice, and Peking duck. My top call outs would be the orange chicken and the Peking duck. They were absolutely delicious and everyone loved it. I wasn't a big fan of the garlic fried rice. I felt it was kind of bland and needed more flavor.
Came here on a Saturday afternoon and so happy a friend introduced us to this place. The Peking Duck was delicious and everything I had hoped for. We also ordered the double skin mung bean noodle salad. I had never had this before but am glad we tried it. A good mix of seafood, veggie and meat toppings and the sauce mixed with mustard was really flavorful as well. The sautéed garlic string beans were a hit. We also tried the fish filet in rice wine sauce, which was something new for me but also very tasty. The service was good and attentive. The servers were constantly checking in and refilling our waters. Definitely looking forward to coming back here and trying other dishes.
The 4 us arrived early without reservation and scored a table up on a table with stop seating. The restaurant is very modern and esthetic are nice. One of our friends have dined there many times and suggested the whole roasted duck, their size medium special rice noodle and we ordered beef and green beans with 2 orders of rice. Food was good and portions as generous. The duck was our favorite dish, a tad on the blander side but very crispy skin. The noodle dish was very different from anything we've tried. At first the rice noodles looked like gelatinous globs. It came with slivers of meat and vegetables. When mixed with some of the yellow mustard, it was quite good but we didn't use that much of the mustard. The beef and green bean dish was OK, nothing special. Staff was helpful and checked on us a couple of times.
Saw this on Bib Gourmand and decided to check it out. Was craving Pecking Duck and this hit the spot. Crispy skin and juicy duck. Also the pot stickers are delicious with a crispy outside and juicy meat. Would go again. Fast service.
I think it's a very solid Chinese restaurant. Main thing is it's often very busy, so much that there's already a line when it opens for lunch on a weekend. But for me, there was enough space to get a table after all the initial campers. The staff were nice enough to seat me before all of my party arrived. The staff default to mandarin which is always a good sign. Service is pretty good, answering questions and acknowledging when we flashed them down. The Peking duck is pretty good and doesn't require reservation. I enjoyed all the dishes.
Finally had the chance to try their Peking duck- and it lives up to the hype! Usually duck is so fatty, and there's so much bone to sift though- but this is beautifully presented. Duck meat so tender and firm. No bones at all! Also ordered the mung bean noodle appetizer- wasabi forward, found this refreshing! Also ordered the thrice cooked pork and it was so flavorful and tender. Also had the ants on a log noodle seafood dish. The noodle/ seafood dish was the only dish I thought was just ok - will come back to try other things on the menu! Overall, this restaurant exceeded my expectations- and now understand why they have so much hype! The cook has been here for over 40 years- so they're doing something right. Loved our server- he's so Bay Area! He had a gigantic lighter in his pocket of bad boys that he showed us and we loved his personality. Definitely a place where you have nice dinners, celebrations, and a great place to take folks if they're from out of town
Ate here for banquet style celebration and it was great! Everything! Every dish and also the service. Still pricier than your standard Chinese restaurant but worth a splurge now and again.
Visited Great China on a Saturday evening around 7:30 pm. As expected, the place was packed, and we were quoted a 30-45 minute wait. Surprisingly, we were seated in about 15 minutes, which was appreciated. Menus were brought promptly, and service throughout the meal was quick and friendly. We ordered the spring rolls, black bean tofu, and ginger scallion fish fillet. The spring rolls were crispy and generously filled, but the filling noticeably lacked salt, which made them fall flat. The chili oil served alongside tasted old and was essentially plain oil with just a hint of chili, offering little depth or heat. The black bean tofu was bland and underwhelming, lacking the bold, savory flavor typically expected from the dish. The ginger scallion fish fillet was decent--the sauce itself had good flavor--but the portion of sauce was too small, so overall the dish felt muted and incomplete. While the staff was friendly and efficient and the restaurant clearly has strong demand, the food itself was just okay and didn't live up to the hype or the wait. Overall, solid service, but the flavors were disappointing given Great China's reputation.
We don't typically go across the bay to eat but Great China is one of those places we make the exception for. I was able to get reservations for seven of us on a Sunday night. Although the restaurant is in a big space, this place gets super busy and packed. Making reservations is the best way to go. My kids only wanted the Peking duck and insisted we order two whole ducks for seven of us. I thought this was a bit overambitious but know better to never to underestimate my kids. In addition to the duck, we also ordered a pot sticker, salt and pepper calamari, Mongolian beef, ant climbed the tree (glass noodles with shrimp, peppers, mushrooms, water chestnuts), Chinese string beans and fermented bean curd Ong choy. Everything was delicious and we ate all of the duck and most of the rest of the dishes! Our only regret is we forgot to ask for the duck carcasses to take home for jook or soup. Yes, Great China will give you the carcasses if requested post-dinner. Parking can be challenging nearby as the location is close the the Cal campus, but there is a small, paid parking lot across the street.
We came on a Sunday around 7 PM and were quoted a 15-20 minute wait, but we were seated in about 10 minutes, which was a nice. We wanted to sample a variety of dishes, so we ordered quite a bit: chicken chow mein, chicken fried rice, Mandarin wings, Kung Pao chicken, beef & broccoli, hot & sour soup, salt and pepper prawns, and pork dumplings. The portions are definitely generous. Food: Pork Dumplings: Flavorful and tasty, though I wish they came with more dipping sauce. Hot & Sour Soup: One of the standouts of the night--super flavorful, comforting, and perfect for chilly weather. Chicken Chow Mein: A bit overcooked on the noodles but still flavorful. Fried Rice: Nice and salty (in a good way!) and paired well with the proteins when we finally got the rice (it came last). Kung Pao Chicken & Beef & Broccoli: Both were flavorful and solid overall. Mandarin Wings: Good addition to the mix. Salt and pepper prawns: another standout dish. Service: This is where the experience was mixed. Our dishes came out very spaced apart--sometimes 20+ minutes between plates. It made it hard to enjoy the mains together with the rice or chow mein because things would either get cold or we'd finish one dish long before the next arrived. Our server also wasn't very attentive, and she repeatedly discouraged us from ordering as much as we did. I explained we wanted variety and leftovers, but she pushed back a couple of times. Maybe she was just trying to let us know the portions are large (which they are), but it came off a bit odd. On the flip side, one of the staff members bringing out dishes--possibly a busser--was actually more attentive and helpful than our main server. Overall: 3.5/5 The food is delicious, portions are generous, and the wait time was better than expected but this place is pricey compared to other Chinese restaurants. The pacing of dishes and uneven service kept it from being perfect, but I'd still come back--especially for that hot & sour soup.
Not bad for a modern Chinese restaurant serving authentic Northern Chinese cuisine. You know it's legit and delicious when tons of Chinese families dine in there. We ordered four family-sized dishes that were popular on the menu: Walnut Prawns- more like honey walnut shrimp, but in an orange version. Citrusy and tangy sauce that wasn't too watery. Guo Ta Fillet Fish- steamed to softness and generous on the green onions and cilantro Black Bean Noodle- the original version of Jiajiangmen, but with shrimp added. The noodles were chewy and thick, smothered in onions and black bean sauce, which was of a thick consistency. Salt and Pepper Spareribs- flavorful with garnishes, a bit spicy, and the meat easily fell off the bone. Overall, the service was nice despite a 45-minute wait for a table during dinner on a weekend. They even have a nice bar with a full display of alcohol. Conveniently located near the UC Berkeley campus, but parking is available a block away.
I celebrated my birthday at Great China with a party of 7 people, and it was a great experience! I walk by this restaurant all the time, and it is always full of people and smells so good. I'm so glad I got to try it! As soon as we walked in, I saw it was a large open space with lots of seating. We ordered 7 family-style dishes to share, and they were all great! The duck was delicious with crispy skin. The honey walnut shrimp had a particularly great sauce. The green beans were also a hit. Honestly, everything was good! The service here is also amazing. The staff was very attentive and even consolidated our food onto smaller plates halfway through the meal to make more room at the table. Overall, this was a great meal, and I look forward to returning and trying more dishes!
I love going to great China on my lunch breaks. They have a great lunch special that comes with hot and sour soup (dine in only), a veggie spring roll, a side salad, side of rice (get the fried rice!) and your entree. It's definitely enough food to have for leftovers too. There's a lot of seating and it's a great space for larger parties. The servers are knowledgeable and answer any questions we had about the dishes (I wanted to know what kind of fish they used) and the food comes out pretty quick. Will continue to come to great China for my weekday lunch meals! read more

Worth the wait. No reservations, we waited for 15 minutes for the restaurant to open at lunch time and got a table. We enjoyed the double skin so much that I would come back and eat just this for lunch. They mix up all the ingredients at your table. A fun show. Tables filled up quickly for lunch in a Saturday. The Peking duck was very juicy and crispy and they also cut all the meat off the bone so no hassle with handling of bones. read more

Another nice family Christmas Eve meal at Great China. Made the reservation in person at our last lunch date (my mom loves coming here so much) back in October. Service is almost always quick with a smile and tonight was no exception. When dining with elderly parents and young kids (both don't have a lot of patience) it's nice to eat at 5 when they open and be out within an HOUR. Good for the restaurant to turn around the table that quickly too. The table next to us also had 3 small kids and were also in and out within the hour. It can get LOUD especially at dinner over the holidays with kids nearby and lots of big parties so just be prepared if you or your kids have any hearing sensitivities. Merry Christmas Eve. My mom was very happy and really enjoyed her meal, as did my kids. We have some leftovers to enjoy for Christmas brunch/snack tomorrow. read more

Favorite spot for Peking duck. Don't forget to request the carcass before you leave. Makes a hearty and versatile duck bone broth. By far one of the best Chinese restaurants in the East Bay. read more
Came to Great China for dinner on a Friday - it was bustling at around 8:30. We got seated after a 5-10 min wait and actually ordered before so we would get our food faster. We ordered the Ma Po tofu and the spicy eggplant tofu. We also got spring rolls as an appetizer. The spring rolls were good, nothing special but still good. The entrees were both good - I especially liked the spicy eggplant tofu, it was flavored really well. I had 2 comments/areas for improvement 1) The service can be improved- when I asked to get seated in the central dining area, I was refused with an immediate no, I wish the hostess would have checked before she refused. 2) Our dishes really lacked sauce - the Ma Po Tofu is not supposed to be a dry dish and there was very very little sauce. I again had asked for additional sauce but was refused since they said the kitchen was closing. Overall, this is a lively spot with good food, can definitely improve in the areas of service. read more

We were really craving Peking duck, so after hearing that the wait for dinner would be an hour, we decided just to order one for takeout! The order of duck includes 24 pancakes, plum sauce, and scallions. It's about $66 with tax, which is pretty pricey for the dish. Overall though, this is a really solid Peking duck -- the skin is super crispy, the duck meat is tender, the scallions are ribboned thinly, and the pancakes are so thin that it's even hard to open them when folded in half. I would definitely come back again just for their duck and to also try their other dishes! read more
Cam here for NYE dinner with friends to end the New Year. Our reservation was at 7:30pm and they advised we will be seated a bit late due to the party is still finishing up. Not a big deal, but they made sure we were taken care of which they didn't have to, but very welcoming and appreciative. We got seated and we ordered their infamous Peking duck, double skin, walnut prawns, etc. All the food was very good and the walnut prawns was one of the best we ever had.- big pawns and not so much mayo which made it perfect. The duck was the show stopper of course. They have so es dishes that they don't have at any typical Chinese restaurant. The ambiance and the service from beginning to end was top notch. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more
Came here for lunar new year opening dinner. It's nice inside, super modern and all the China is cute. The staff was super helpful assuring we had all of our dishes. The food was delicious and flavorful, authentic Chinese food. read more
Great China's Chinese food is alright. There is nothing too unique or special about the dishes. The reason I am giving this place one star is because the dishes are too overpriced. Each dish ranges from a round $20-$30. Additionally, my family ordered sweet and sour pork, but the server told us that the chef made sweet and sour chicken instead. We were charged for sweet and sour pork, however, which is more expensive than sweet and sour chicken. I believe that if the restaurant messes up an order, it is common courtesy to remake the dish or provide some kind of discount/complimentary menu item to make up for their mistake. read more

I was introduced to this place years ago when I was just a broke Berkeley student and didn't have too many opportunities to come visit, since this is high end Chinese food. Thankfully, my parents took me here for my graduation and I remember the duck specifically being fantastic. Revisiting this now, I think this is one of my favorite places to get good Chinese food in the bay. It does suck that the wait for parties under 6 can be up to an hour long (with no way to reserve) and prices are much more expensive than expected, but the quality is on a whole different level. We ordered: * Peking Duck - 10/10: what everyone comes here for, the ratio of meat to skin is perfection with every pancake wrapped bite a glorious revelation * Honey Walnut Shrimp - 10/10: amazingly fried, savory and sweet combination that goes well with rice or noodles * Beef Chow Mein - 9/10: solid carb choice with thick and chewy noodles * Sautéed Snow Pea Leaves - 7/10: great vegetable addition As of 2/19/2023, due to the ongoing bird flu pandemic, we got incredibly lucky in scoring one of the last 2 ducks that were available to be sold that night. Thankfully, I spoke Chinese so I was able to plead with the serving staff that we really wanted the duck. Huge thank you to them! However, your mileage may vary. It still feels a bit strange that this place is so close to a college campus since prices are on the much higher end side, but the food is superb. read more

Great China offers up high quality traditional Chinese dishes with a twist. I especially love that the food isn't greasy, which is what you often find with Chinese food. We ordered the spicy eggplant, potstickers, fried rice, Mongolian beef, honey walnut prawns, salt & pepper calamari, bok choy & shiitake mushrooms, ant climbed the tree, and double skin (not pictured). The ambiance is modern and clean, so you can dress up or down. Service is always so friendly and attentive. The restaurant is located in downtown Berkeley, so parking can be a bit tough, especially on the weekends. Definitely a spot to try! read more

*Lunch Time, Dinner/All Day Menu* I'd recommend ordering the large plates even during lunch time! Definitely still come on non-lunch special days (Sat, Sun, Holidays), especially with a small party size of 2-3 people. The Spicy Eggplant with Prawns is a must get -- despite the name it isn't spicy, and it comes with much more vegetables than eggplant (Zucchini and 2 types of pepper). The Cumin Lamb is also worth a shot -- it isn't lamb slices but rather braised chunks, cooked together with green pepper and jalapeños. The Peking duck wasn't as flavorful/fatty as I remembered during dinner time, and it is better shared with many people and when you order a full table of a variety of dishes! read more

This is a must try spot for Peking Duck fans. I've been staying in Berkeley the last 6 months and this has been one of my favorite discoveries so far. Every dish I've tried has been amazing whether it be stir fried string beans, chicken fried rice or their famous Peking duck. It does get crowded so I highly recommend making a reservation in advance with the one caveat being they take parties of 6 or more. If you have less than 6 in your party, lining up a little before they open works well. Bottom line: Must try spot for Peking duck fans. Close to the Berkeley campus so great area to walk and explore after. read more

Nice restaurant but difficult to wave a server down to order for group of 12 pp. Food was ok. The food wasn't that spicy even though we ordered Kung pao and eggplant and tofu. Food came early for others. Others came late. Confusion with some of the orders. Busy restaurant so maybe servers were confused. read more

I've been back here time and time again and the food and service are always great. This time, I tried the lunch specials and they are a really great deal. Tried the honey walnut shrimp and eggplant, both of which were delicious. I also love their peking duck. This duck dish stands out from other restaurants because there are no bones! They carefully the duck meat off so that it is easy for you to eat and make wraps with. This is a great place to go with a larger party too, which I have done in the past. Overall, this is a childhood favorite that still shines in the present day. read more
If Yelp existed 35 years ago, I would have given Great China 5 stars then. As it stands, I'm still giving it 5 stars, albeit decades later. There is a reason this place has been around so long, and it's the same reason this restaurant has been Michelin recognized (bib gourmand, I believe): the food is really good and still reasonably priced. We always get the lunch special, and often we get the chicken wings. read more
Hmmmm, this place was good, but not knock your socks off good. It was knock your socks off pricing though. The portions were large, but nothing stood out as being really flavorful or unique. The service was above average, but some of the bussers didn't seem to speak or understand English very well, not a huge issue, just something to note. I had this bookmarked for a while and had heard good things about it. Sadly to me, the price just doesn't justify what you get. I won't go into detail about the dishes b/c they were unremarkable. The tea was good. The inside of the restaurant is modern and nice and isn't dirty and greasy. Unfortunately, I don't think I have any reason to go back. Parking is also tough in this area, especially when school is in session. There is metered street parking if you can find it. It seems like everyone else likes this place, but neither my Dad or myself were impressed. Sorry. read more
On our most recent trip, we came right around 2 and the host was kind enough to give us a table. We already knew what we wanted (the duck), so we were able to order fairly quick. The first time, we switch the duck wraps for bao, which was a huge mistake. Luckily we learned from the mistake and ordered it as is. The duck is not very fatty and has been deboned, making it easy to eat. The skin is also separated. We ordered other entrees so we wouldn't be eating just duck, but everything was mid in my opinion. Nothing was bad, but I would go for the Peking duck and maybe one or two things so you are not just eating duck. Also, big thanks to the restaurant staff and crew for accommodating our party of 4 so close to closing. P.S, there's usually a long line and wait time for this place so prepare for that! read more

Great China feels like a cut above other Chinese restaurants. Their hot sour soup was tasty and had shrimp! The roast duck was the show stopper. The duck was de-boned so all we had to do was enjoy the delicious duck and crispy skin. It came with small pancakes, plum sauce and scallions. We also had the sautéed crab meat with steamed buns which my friends loved. You must order the Double Skin dish: mung bean noodles, carrots, cucumber, egg crepe, calamari, shrimp, sea cucumber, onions, mushroom, and pork. Another showstopper! Refreshing and delicious. Highly recommend! read more
They finally reopened for sit down dining! Service was really attentive and the inside was very modern and clean -peking duck: not bad for the price, pretty affordable Peking duck for the bay. The pancakes they use are some of the best I've had -- very thin and good! the duck itself is on the smaller side and skin could be a bit crispier but overall pretty decent! flavor was good too -double skin: was a bit disappointed considering all the rave reviews for their double skin. the flavor wasn't as good as I've had at other places (boiling Beijing) and the skin could've been a bit bouncier. overall just ok, wouldn't order here again -sauteed crab meat with steamed buns: this was yummy! the steamed buns were perfectly fluffy and the crab meat is sautéed with egg whites, ginger, and scallion // reminds me of the crab sauce my mom prepare at home read more
I would have given Great China 5 stars but one of our dishes we ordered was not great (the fried bass fillet). If you're going with a larger group, I would recommend ordering the peking duck, that was all of our favorites. We loved how crispy the skin on the duck was and how thin the wrapper was, perfect combination with the green onions and hoisin sauce. This restaurant is recognized by Michelin as a bib gourmand and they definitely live up to that. The mung bean mixed noodles was a unique dish that you don't see often at Chinese restaurants and I recommend getting it, but ask for them not to dump all of the mustard sauce in there if you're not a huge fan of it like me. I thought the dish was a bit over powering with the mustard sauce. We also ordered the Mongolian beef, eggplant stir fry and a fried bass fish fillet with salt and pepper. The fried fish was an off menu item and was the one dish that was a let down. The Mongolian beef and peking duck were the stars of the show and I would recommend everyone order those two. Eggplant dish was good too, but nothing too memorable. This place seems to be constantly busy so I recommend if you have a group larger than 6, call in advance to make reservations. We had a group of 5 so didn't have the option to do that and on a Friday night waited about 40 minutes for a table. Service is decently quick with taking orders and dishes coming out knowing how busy this place is. I'll definitely be back again with my family! read more

This place is amazing! There is always a line out the door so i've wanted to come here for a while. I finally did and I was not disappointed. It's definitely worth the wait. The food comes out quick and it's all heavenly! Here's what we ordered: Shrimp Chow Mein (fresh shrimp and delicious noodles!) String beans (SO much flavor on these string beans! One of my favorite dishes) Walnut prawns (huge and they were perfectly crispy and had a nice orange flavor) Vegetarian fried rice (Not my favorite, didn't have a lot of flavor) Peking roast duck (Didn't eat the duck, but everyone else said it was delicious!) Surf clam (SO GOOD! I've never had these until I came here and it's my new favorite dish. The meat was already sliced and ready to eat and the broth it was in was delicious) Spring rolls (Some of the best i've ever had! The sweet sauce it comes with is also really good.) My favorite was the walnut prawns and the surf clams. It was all amazing though. The service is also great and everyone is helpful and works fast. Definitely come here! read more
It was Friday night, a chance to have a nice meal especial one with Peking duck. Early evening, no wait for a walk in table for two. We decided early on that we would limit our order to two dishes, the Peking duck with 24 pancakes and garlic spinach (for our vegey). It took some time for the food to be delivered. The duck came first. It was deboned with the meat on the bottom and the crispy skin on top looking like a turtle. It came with the sauce and shredded scallions. The skin was very crispy as expected pile them on the pancake with the meat, sauce and scallion it's about as close to food heaven as one can get. After several on them, there were plenty left. The garlic spinach gave much needed greens to the meal with the light garlic on the spinach. The wait person came often to fill our water glass. It was a very pleasant meal especially for big duck fans. We will be back for more duck in the future. read more

My go to Peking duck restaurant in the Bay Area. My parents are from Beijing, and I grew up eating Peking duck during our summer visits to China. I am not exaggerating when I say this place might be my favorite Peking duck in the US. I've come here for birthdays and celebrations and brought friends and coworkers alike. Highly recommend. The line can be quite long, so sometimes we'll show up before it opens to line up outside. The servers are all very nice and honest, and the restaurant is bright and spacious. read more
A fancy Chinese restaurant in Berkeley with good, yet expensive food. Definitely come in a group so you can share and get their Peking duck. Although the restaurant looks high end and has a very diverse range of customers, the food was quite authentic and good. My only complaint was the sautéed ong choy with garlic was not garlicky AT ALL so that was quite disappointing. The flavors of their salt and pepper ribs were good but was a little rough outside because it was fried with no batter. The mei cai ko ro was my favorite. The mei cai was very soft and not overly salty and the pork was super tender and delicious. read more

Another awesome lunch at Great China. Come right during opening if you are a party of 6 or less during the weekend. The place fills up quickly. Peking duck is an absolute must - on par with ones in China. Other solid dishes: - double skin with egg, shrimp, pork, cucumber, woodear - egg roll - crispy and pretty good - sauteed morning glory (Kong xin Cai) - as expected. Skip: This tofu dish that's slightly fried and steamed in sauce. It's ok but I like the agadashi tofu in Japanese restaurants better for this type of dish. My little toddler loves the sauce on this one - would have asked for more sauce if I knew how much she loved it. Solid service and nice ambience read more

My favorite Peking duck place in town. In all of East Bay... heck in all of Bay Area even. The quality is consistent. They use thin layered pancakes (the authentic Beijing kind) and they cut out the fat in between the meat and the skin. The duck skin is always crispy yet not too oily at all. I've frequented this place for years and it seems that the customer service has gotten a lot better since they reopened for indoor dining during the pandemic. I've heard of friends who used to dislike the service here in the past, but that never stopped me from getting the food here. read more

Once you place the order, it comes out based on what you ordered. Didn't need a special order anything. Came out maybe 30 minutes after we ordered and food came out.
Do they offer any vegan options? I see vegetarian items on the menu but i am assuming they all have fish sauce, right? Does anyone know? Thank you!
Usually Chinese do not use fish sauce, just Thai and Vietnamese. Ask, when you order.
I got a voicemail confirming my reservation, and it said that there needs to be a minimum $35 per person charge. Is this being enforced? We plan to eat a full dinner there but this seems a bit unreasonable.
Yes and no, from experience with taxes and tips trust me your bill will come up to at least $35 per if not more - duck alone is $50 and all other dishes in $20 ranges
