I ordered the Canton Seafood Stir Fry, which came with plenty of seafood and fresh-tasting noodles. The portion was generous, and everything came together really well. My husband ordered the Sweet & Sour Chicken, and he really enjoyed it too. It even came with rice, which feels like a nice bonus these days! Another pleasant surprise--they serve wine, too! We'll definitely keep this place in mind the next time we're craving noodles.

Unfortunately, I wasn't very impressed. The beef shank was tough and difficult to chew, and the broth didn't have the rich, balanced flavor that I expect from a good Taiwanese beef noodle soup. I wouldn't recommend ordering this dish. On the other hand, I also tried one of their house specials, the Jiangxi Stir-Fry. It featured rice noodles with beef flank, bell peppers, baby bok choy, and spicy chillies. This dish was great, flavorful, well-seasoned, and packed with wok hei.

I hate leaving not good reviews but figured we should let people know what we experienced…read more Food was good but service was a bit rough. They are super friendly but we ordered 2 bowls of noodle soups with the extra egg each. The first bowl didn't have the egg. Then after a bit had to ask what happened to the other one bowl. They said they didn't realize we ordered two. Ordering is through a kiosk so it should have been obvious. When we got the second bowl they only brought out one egg. We had to ask to get the other one we paid for. Overall I don't think we'll be back. There are other places in Berkeley we'll try before coming back here.

Brief Summary: - Dishes arrive in takeout bowls (whether you…read morechoose dine in or take out) - Order can be done at a kiosk - Seats available inside - Flavor is lightly seasoned - Price is high for being in a location for students - Felt like additional options requested during the kiosk machine was ignored - Overall, prefer the previous branches One of my favorite restaurants opened up in an area closer for student commute traffic, so I decided to make a trip to try them out. The menu is different than the other two restaurants, whereas it didn't have the fried rice or the chicken noodle soup. Inside, there are kiosks to order, so we ordered a Shanghai Scallion (requested broth), the Shanghai Double Happiness bowl, and the hot and sour noodle soup (requested mild spice). The dishes arrived with Shanghai Double Happiness bowl and the hot and sour noodle soup arriving first, and then the Shanghai Scallion. First, upon peering down at the hot and sour soup, there were a ton of red chilis. Is this really mild spicy, I thought to myself as I took a sip. I don't think this was; this was probably set as standard spiciness of this dish. As a person with low spice-tolerance this was too spicy for me to eat, so I had to trade it with my relative's non-spicy dish (I have a relative with higher spice tolerance). When they ate it, they said it was not too spicy (they didn't drink water), but still not sure if the dish was considered mild because I could eat mild spice. This soup has a generous flavor of sour, and it is also less viscous compared to other hot and sour soups. The dish I traded with my relative was the Shanghai Double Happiness bowl. This is a vegetarian dish, which I usually don't eat much of due to these dishes lacking "koku," and this was the case as well. It was a very very lightly seasoned soup, almost too clear as water with a hint of vegetable flavor. I didn't try this on the first bite, but my sibling mentioned that the vegetables were cold, as if they were just out of the fridge and popped in. It could make sense why this dish was just right, on the edge of being called lukewarm, whilst the hot and sour soup was magma hot. (Since we were the first customers in the store, I'm going to take it as the reason why the vegetables were still cold). By the time the dish was swapped over, the vegetables were at room temperature, so I didn't eat the cold vegetables. It was also soft. For the Shanghai Scallions, it was originally a stir fry noodle dish, but because it was a cold day we requested the option to add in broth. When it arrived, it didn't come with the broth either. At this point, we are speculating that the optional requests we marked in the kiosk order are ignored and we were given the dishes at default. Generally, all the dishes were lightly seasoned to the point I will say it had no flavor. The portion is light as well, so compared to the restaurant experience in the other two branches, this one feels pricier. Since this branch is located in the middle of the student community, where they opt for cost-effective dishes, I would suggest adjusting the price or changing up the menu to fit the students' needs. (The fried rice would be a hit)

Refreshing drinks and amazing customer service…read more Went with Dez after a doctor's appointment looking for something cold and refreshing. This Berkeley location has special summer drinks that some of the other locations don't carry. I got the lychee mango seasonal drink and Dez got the guava. Both were delicious with the perfect sweetness level and really fresh flavor. What stood out most though was the customer service. Steven, who I believe is the owner, was incredibly welcoming and took time to explain the menu options and make sure our drinks were made the way we liked them. I really wish the Pinole location carried some of these seasonal drinks because it's much closer for me, but honestly I'd come back to Berkeley for both the drinks and the service. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're in the area.
