Beef broccoli, Kongpau tofu, stir fried chicken rice noodles were all good. BBQ pork bun was not good. They were frozen commercial kind and they microwave it too long that the bun was hard and dry. They use the type of clear plastic box was not supposed to be for hot food.

I called before I went to see if they had my item. They did so, when I walked in and the young guy from the phone knew who I was by my item, that made me feel so welcomed. I took my oder to go. It was good and I will be back for more. Thanks for being friendly, welcoming, personable, and professional all at the same time.

SUCH GOOD FOOD. I recommend ordering ALL the Appetizers and having the best time. The hot and sour soup never misses !

I ordered chow mein, pork fried rice, and spring rolls. I've had Chinese food all over this country and this was terrible. The only taste to any of it was old grease. It was very greasy, the pork didnt have any taste.

I have been going here since 1999. Portions are still the same but price has went up. They give you slot of food.... at least for 2 meals.

First time ordering and it was a good experience. Good customer service, friendly staff. Good potstickers, good chicken chow mein and really good string beans with Szechuan sauce. Large portions. Ordered takeout, didn't seem particularly inviting for dining in. Will be my go to for Chinese food in the neighborhood. Better than the Chinese restaurants on College Avenue.

Finally tried this place after 16 years in Berkeley, complaining the entire time that there are no good Chinese places that offer delivery after Hunan on Shattuck closed down. They were the best...sigh....Tai San is a pretty close second, though, and I'm excited to work my way through the menu. In general, they were fast (15 min to pick up, no delivery), friendly (family-owned) and the portions were huge. Off to a good start!Ordered the Hong Kong style noodles, the sweet and sour chicken and the moo shu veggies this time. The moo shu took first place, and was delicious with the pancakes and plum sauce. Ordered 2 extra pancakes because the order only comes with 4 and I'm glad we did. The Hong Kong noodles were tasty, with everything but the kitchen sink in there... wish it had a bit more flavor though. Some spice and/or heat is missing, and I added a dash of vinegar and fish sauce to mine to give it a little zing. The sweet and sour chicken was by far the least favorite, but I imagine that's true everywhere. So much sauce and onion, not very much chicken. At least it was crispy and not soggy! Looking forward to trying some more adventurous choices!

No way jose. This is a definite a no for me. Order sweet & sourpork. The pork was nothing but fat no meat at all ugh!! Order pork fried rice no veggies green onions extra egg extra charge. I got neither no eggs no green onions it did not matter rice was horrible with no flavor. Order pork won ton soup disgusting no flavor and red.. Order black bean chicken and once again no flavor everything was blah with no seasoning. I will never trust another yelp review because you people do not know what good food is..

Moved to Rockridge right at the beginning of the lockdown and doordash became our best friend. Almost never use doordash because in NY (where we are from) everyone uses seamless. It seems EVERYONE uses doordash out here but I became so sick of the options i tried seamless because we were in a new neighborhood and TA DA! Tai San was there. We tried it in the beginning of January 2021 have ordered from there 4 times.1st, they are the kindest people.2nd, the food is great! We are use to a certain kind of Chinese food out on the east coast that doesn't exist here. Tai San is the perfect blend of this east coast style and the west coast style. Like, the flavors of east coast Chinese take out but cleaner and balanced... i don't know lol it's just great.3rd, they never give you a plastic bag! I love the box thing! Packing food in a box is genius, why don't i see this more often?
