Szechuan Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

“The best Sichuan cuisine in the East Bay area. The quality, portion size, location, and cleanliness are well worth the higher price compared to restaurants in Oakland Chinatown. We have dined here many times and have never been disappointed. Every dish is delicious, authentic, and fresh. We enjoyed everything we ordered, and the portions are so generous that the leftovers easily made two more meals at home.“

“Yummy Chinese food! Potstickers are made fresh

Vegetarian options: vegetarian options available

Dietary restrictions: vegetarian options available, but it is an asian restaurant so dont expect a whole bunch of options for dietary restrictions like Kosher, vegan, nut free etc

Kid-friendliness: kid friendly but a lot of spicy dishes

Wheelchair accessibility: not wheelchair accessible, need to go up stairs“

“delicious food — the whole menu. i get something new every time, every dish is a banger. hunanese friend said it’s not super authentic (they do have a lot of dishes from sichuan/elsewhere in china), but it’s the best in the bay. a bigger group is probably better because the portion sizes are huge, but i’ve also never minded a big haul of leftovers.“

“Very classic sichuan food. I recommend this restaurant.“

“I stopped by Tasty Sichuan in El Cerrito today and tried the Wild Chili & Cilantro Beef — wow, it was so good! The beef was tender, the celery and cilantro were super fresh, and the flavor was amazing. Really fragrant and really satisfying.

I usually only finish one bowl of rice, but today the dish was so delicious that I ended up eating two bowls! Totally worth it — I was happily stuffed.

Highly recommend this dish to anyone who loves good food. Easy 5 stars!“

“We eat here once a month. We love the food and service . We also do pick up . Take note , if you do take out / delivery / pick up MUST heat the food in its container (alum trays) mix until water disappears and left with only that super good smell of Szechuan chili oil and herb. It will not disappoint!!!! I just put mine on top of the stove.“

“Our daughter is obsessed with soup dumplings which we found at Fusion Dumpling. The traditional pork were great, but try the black truffle and wagyu soup dumplings. You won't be disappointed!“

“Both the spicy numbing beef tendon and the spicy rib and noodle soup were delicious.“

“The vegetarian food was great! Love the potatoes from Szechuan!“

“It relocated to 270-272 St because there is a new Spices Noodle House at 369 12th St.“

“I have come to eat in three times, and many for eat out in the two years since I have found this place. China Village always meets or exceeds my expectations. This is NOT a greasy American Chinese food. This is tasty China Food place that I hope you give a chance. It is not fast food prices because it is real food. We had delicious garlic chicken, chicken chao mein, Mongolian beef, fried prawns and a dessert of Sesame Balls. These are all must try items.
Definitely have the hot tea. Take your time and let it soak before you enjoy it.
The variety of food is phenomenal and consistently fresh.
The staff is pleasant, quick and embody the spirit of this classy place. I can definitely see this clean and tidy place being a venue for special parties of class and elegance for the evey person.
If you are looking for a new Chinese place to try out, please come here.“

“Solid Chinese yum, not the standard Chinese-American.

Popo Noodles, with rice-wine braised pork belly is savory, soy-based comfort; egg noodles cooked to still-chewy perfection, dressed for flavor but still dry. Pickled Bamboo Shoots add-on, a must, to cut through the light meat fat.

A good option when at Spark Social.“

“I had an amazing experience at Amazing Kitchen! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, with a comfortable setting that makes you want to sit back and enjoy your meal. It truly has that authentic Chinese restaurant vibe simple, cozy, and focused on great food.

The service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly and fresh. You can tell they really care about their customers.

The food was absolutely delicious. The cast iron beef was the highlight served sizzling hot, tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Every bite was packed with rich, savory flavor. The eggplant dish was just as impressive — soft, tasty, and cooked to perfection with a delicious sauce that pairs perfectly with rice.

If you’re looking for authentic Chinese food with great service and a welcoming atmosphere, Amazing Kitchen is definitely worth visiting. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The food is always good here! Fresh and cooked to order. Service has gotten better over the years I remember when they were so rude. For the Ambiance I give it a 3 this is really a order and go. My favorite is always a dry fry ribs they're always top-notch. Today I ordered dry fried ribs beef chow mein and chicken fried rice with no soy sauce. The wait time has even improved I only waited 15 minutes.“

“I've been coming to Uncle Wong's for 3+ years after taking a job in Oakland. Being born and raised in San Francisco, I've had great Chinese food. Uncle Wong's is the best! May the owner is so attentive and sweet. Turn off your phone and get to Uncle Wong's right now! Note:Take Out only for now.“

“Little Szechuan is one of our “go to” restaurants when we’re craving authentic Chinese food with regional spices and heat. They offer an extensive menu, including dishes that will help Chinese natives overcome any pangs of homesickness. In fact, it reminds my partner of foods his grandmother used to prepare for his family in Wuhan. Delivery is fast, reliable, and always hot upon arrival. Try it!
