The eggplant clay pot was a destination dish! And the scallion pancakes are unexpected and delicious. Lovely plates and teapot!Vegetarian options: Noodle dishes can be made meatless but I wonder if some of the flavor is lost.

Solid, well-made, fresh Chinese food. The homemade noodles are a treat. Very nice people. Very comfortable neighborhood feeling. AND… they are still using the old-school cardboard boxes — which are compostable — instead of plastic take out containers.

Our favorite Chinese restaurant in Berkeley. All the dishes we have had here are excellent, and we've probably tried many of them over the years. The specialty dishes are where the restaurant really shines, and the zha jiang noodles are a must. Sesame bread is treat, though eat it fresh. Great place to dine-in.
Da Lian always comes through when you need it most. A classic for takeout and dine-in. The wait staff is very friendly and the restaurant is spacious and welcoming.

Not good. Beef noodle soup is a classic Chinese dish and one of my favorites. They advertise it outside their restaurant. It was not good. The broth was too sweet or too salty, just not right. The meat was difficult to chew.

Ordered takeout twice in one week here. Delicious garlic noodles and hot & sour soup. They were able to make the noodle dish vegetarian for me and it was delicious. The women behind the counter provided great service and were very sweet.

Very overpriced for the quality and portion. This is one of those places that locals without a high standard in the neighborhood go to. If you have even remotely functional tastebuds, I'd stay away.

Solid! We came here on Christmas Day and had consistently yummy food even though they were very busy. The noodles really stood out.
