Reviews for Easterly Hunan Cuisine
Came here because of all the 5 star reviews. But neglected to notice it was Hunan food. I'm not crazy about Hunan food. The place is filled with students from Mainland China who I assume is attending Berkeley. The place takes Alipay - like Apple Pay but in China. They don't take Apple Pay but do take Google Pay - slightly strange. They take credit cards and of course, cash. I didn't know what to order so I had a plate of dumplings. The 4 stars is for that.

I have been waiting to try this new place and finally had a chance to go outside of the lunch time (1:30ish....).

Really tasty food that came out super fast. Service was also helpful with changing our order when we accidentally ordered the wrong thing. Also, the potluck style is a breath of fresh air in Berkeley. Finally, the portions were large and we didn't feel like we were missing out on food. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a Chinese restaurant in the area!
