Excellent Chinese cuisine!!

Best Chinese food in the Bay Area. They satisfy the palates of Chinese people as well as non-Chinese. Also definitely some of the best service you’ll find at a Chinese restaurant.

Great Food & Service!

The only Chinese food I will eat, although it's got a level of butter that will make a French chef happy.
From elegant takes on your Americanized classics to fine dining ingredients with some true region driven Chinese food, you cannot go wrong.
Take a chance, order blind or ask for a recommendation.
Vegetables are easily as good. The tea smoked duck tastes like bbq pork in the best way. All the soups are phenomenal.
I could go on and on about it all, but for me, the mu shu chicken reins supreme. Get extra pancakes.
Service can be downright horrible at the restaurant. Do not go with any type of time constraint. We've been ignored for 30+ minutes on numerous occasions.

Get the duck and beans I guess. Interior - fun atmosphere. Large portion of noodles but lacked any semblance of flavor. Twice cooked pork had ZERO, zero pork shoulder in it. Lots of pork belly but the dish was meh. Generals chix was flavorful. Waitress forgot our dumpling app, apologized after the main dishes came out, brought us another table’s order as a service recovery offering (very apologetic) and then did absolutely nothing about the cost. Service recovery steamed rice? Beer? Nope. Slap that $15 right in there. Water refill service on point. So TLDR get the duck and green beans. Wound up here again this past week. Above was a couple years ago. Still mid

For 30+ years, this has been my favorite Chinese restaurant. Mu shu pork and walnut prawns are our family's favorite.
Great China is definitely “great.” The menu covers most bases but there are three things that stand out: Mandarin Chicken Wings, Peking Duck and Double Skin. It gets crowded here at peak times and parking is not always easy but it’s worth the wait and hassles to eat here.
Great China is a true gem for Chinese cuisine lovers. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, authentic ambiance that instantly makes you feel at home. The menu offers an impressive variety of traditional and modern Chinese dishes, each prepared with fresh ingredients and bold flavors.
We started with the hot and sour soup, which was perfectly balanced – not too spicy, with perfect amount of tanginess that awakened the taste buds. For the main course, the Peking Duck is a must-try, with its crispy skin and succulent meat, served with thin pancakes, sauce and green onions. What sets Great China apart is their attention to detail. Every dish is beautifully presented, and the portions are generous without being overwhelming. The service was prompt and attentive without being intrusive, and the staff was knowledgeable, offering great recommendations. Whether you’re looking for a casual lunch, a family dinner, or a celebratory feast, Great China delivers an unforgettable dining experience. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone seeking top-notch Chinese food in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Five stars!

I enjoy this restaurant very much. The food is excellent and fresh. it’s served hot every time. The servers can speed up with taking orders but otherwise, they are o.k. The restaurant is ok. The seating is too close for me but I get it. There’s No parking. It’s excellent.
