The waiters are rude to the delivery workers and do not speak properly to the online orders. They show frustration to the online delivery guys especially who works in the cashier today.

Having heard rave reviews about Wojia Hunan Cuisine, my anticipation was high as we ventured into this Berkeley staple. From the moment we started with their Glutinous Rice Balls, it was clear that Wojia was going to surpass every expectation. The rice balls were a delightful introduction, setting the stage for a culinary journey through Hunan cuisine.The Hot & Sour Soup followed, and it was nothing short of incredible. Its balance of flavors was a masterclass in how traditional elements can be executed to perfection. The soup had just the right kick and sourness, making it unforgettable and a must-try for anyone visiting.Our journey continued with the green beans and walnut shrimp, each dish showcasing the chef’s ability to highlight the natural flavors and textures of the ingredients. The green beans were cooked to perfection, maintaining their vibrant color and crispness, while the walnut shrimp was a heavenly mix of crunchy, sweet, and savory—a dish truly “out of this world.”The complimentary tea provided a soothing counterpoint to the rich flavors of the meal, demonstrating Wojia’s attention to detail and commitment to an authentic dining experience. Service was impressively quick, ensuring our meal progressed smoothly without any unnecessary waits.While the ambiance was just okay, lacking some of the flair one might expect, it did nothing to detract from the stellar quality of the food and the efficiency of the service.Wojia Hunan Cuisine is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Hunan in Berkeley. Each dish we tried was a testament to the skill and passion behind the scenes, making it clear why this spot comes so highly recommended. I look forward to returning and exploring more of their menu, confident that each visit will be as remarkable as the first.Kid-friendliness: The spice was a bit, but not overkill for our kids.
The food here is absolutely amazing. The fried sesame rice balls are life changing. The people are always kind. I really love this place.

Authentic, outstanding Hunan restaurant. Highly recommend. If you want standard americanized Chinese food, this may not be the best place for you, or it may be the most eye opening experience! My favorites include shrimp with tea leaves and eggplant with string beans. A group a few tables away ordered some kind of sizing pot of frog legs and it was like the whole restaurant was gassed with pepper spray!ADDENDUM: they changed their menu and added more traditional Chinese dishes, which are okay.

Enjoyed the fish stew, beef daikon clay pot, and pork rib soup. Great!

This restaurant is the most satisfying to my taste buds I have eaten in recently. Braised old duck in golden soup with fat intestines. Bullfrog in stone pot. Big steak. Stir-fried radish. Stir-fried bacon. Every dish is delicious. My friends nearby really want to try it. It will give you a taste. a big

delicious! You can choose the spiciness level. Recommend the stir-fried yellow
Worst service I ever met. Nobody is serving and I had to pick up the plates and water by myself all the time. However, they still charge me a mandatory 18% service fee just because we have five people. How dare them? Food is ok, not like what other comments described so delicious.

Went to Wojia last night and it was fantastic! The spicy dishes really hit the spot, but the surprise star was the glutinous rice ball - so good! Saw some negative reviews before going and gotta say, I don't get it. Everything from the food to the service was spot on. Definitely going back for more. If you're into real spicy food, this place is a must-try!
