“Ben Ben Hot Pot was the coziest hot spot experience I've had. I ordered the ox tail broth. It came with tender oxtail meat. There was a generous variety of ingredients to add and open access to tea and drinks. Our waitress knew just when to offer more broth and meats. The music was calm and the ascetic was clean and cozy. Great value at a low price, I will defiently be back !“

“Dallas has some amazing food, and I've tried a lot of dishes, but I have to give a special shoutout to the naan! It was truly one of the best I've ever had in the USA. The quality was so good, I ended up eating several pieces just because of the incredible taste and texture. I highly recommend everyone try the naan!“

“Had a great dining experience here food was amazing and the customer service was even better Clarence the server had a great attitude let us stay and eat our food a whole 30 minutes after closing. The affordable pricing is just a cherry on top. Big fan of this place for sure will come again.“

“Visiting from out of state. Went here for Father’s Day celebration . Excellent food and service.“

“I lived in Berkeley in the 80’s & early 90’s. To this day, I miss their veggie pot stickers & Kung Pao Chicken. I love the Long Life Vegi House 💚💚💚“

“Used to go here when the original owners were there. New owners now food is still good. Little different cooking style. But the items that I have ordered were good. I always take my food to go since I live pretty close by. Still exploring the menu. Haven't been disappointed yet.“

“Amazing food with outstanding service!!“

“I'm very disappointed. I order from here frequently but the past couple of times something has been off.

The online portal gives me a ready time, but it's NEVER ready. I waited an extra 5 minutes this time and it still wasn't ready.

My most recent experience: My order was wrong, in addition to being 10 minutes late... 1) I ordered house fried rice but got lo mein. 2) the lo mein had 1 shrimp, 2 pieces of beef and a few pieces of chicken, and, 3) the outside of the container was filthy.

I don't know what has changed but I really hope it gets fixed so I can continue supporting this business.“

“Great Chinese food with authentic taste. They have a hotel next door which is connected to the restaurant and they are open till midnight. If you want great Chinese kebab, noodles, rice dishes, seafood, and dumplings. This is the place to be! Food is cooked fast and they accept card and cash. Will be coming back for the authentic and delicious Chinese spot next to Berkeley!“

“For reasons that escape me, this place is always empty - my wife and I are often the only people in the whole quite large restaurant. But the food is really excellent, delicious homecooked-type stuff, so this has become one of our favorite places.“

“Wow! Amazingly delicious, and very high quality, even more surprising in that it seems to cater to a predominantly student clientele. A-choy was fresh and lively, as promised, stir fried pork with peppers almost too good to stop eating in spite of being full, and fish fillets with pickled vegetables was perfect. A bonus of catering to students is that the portions are quite generous. The only slight imperfection is that the acoustics of the room, high ceilinged and with few sound absorbers, was a little harsh. But the food was so absorbing I hardly noticed. Service was good too. If you like spicy Chinese food, this is definitely worth a visit. Top notch Hunan cuisine“

“The luncheon meal served to me was catered and was delivered promptly to our dinning location with a group of twenty people celebrating two birthdays. The order was still hot from its preparation and arrived with all necessary flatware along with a celebratory and festive attitude. The catered food was roasted chicken thigh and leg served with tender cabbage and perfectly steamed fluffy white rice. The chicken had an appealing medium roasted brown color prepared with what I could taste as soy based seasoning, slight sweetness and other enhancing aromatic flavors. The chicken was roasted to an ideal doneness and was tender and juicy, flavorful, easy to cut and of a sizable quantity. The gracious lady appearing with the catered order was courteous and kind, prompt as I mentioned and made sure the delivery was as exactly requested. The entire experience was positive, the roasted chicken was delicious, it all went smoothly and I would definitely suggested Camille Restaurant to others.“

“First malatang experience in Berk but not my first rodeo, this place has all types of selection from meats to veggies! I picked every meat possible except for mussels, I absolutely loved the sausage selection and the lamb. All were very fresh! Will be back to try their tomato soup!“

“Make sure to ask for the secret sauce if you’re getting the dumplings, made by Jaime. My wife and I are so glad we did! He mentioned it when we were ordering the Pork Dumplings, and it was incredible. It goes perfectly with the pork and the seafood dumplings. We loved it so much we ordered a second round. Jaime was great to chat with and the service overall was top-notch. We also tried the BBQ Pork Bao and the Pork XLB, everything was delicious. Thanks, Jaime, we’ll definitely be back!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“The food here is great. But, I've reached the limit on what my pocketbook can Justify for a bowl of broth. I started going here pre-pandemic, but since then the cost has increased twice. The cost is almost double what it was. I had the small seafood pho with tip was 23.00. Really not a lot of seafood either to justify it. Go, enjoy your meal. But expect to pay more then you would expect.“
