The ambiance is worth the few extra bucks that you may have wanted to save for lunch . It’s clean , industrial feel with a very bright sun coming through the massive windows make the place beautiful.

Contemporary update to a favorite northern Chinese eatery , run by Korean Chinese. Go in a group and get Peking duck , Double Skin mung bean noodles , fish dumplings , eggplant/shrimp, & walnut prawns .

Pork Belly lovers, travel to the East Bay for Great China's Thrice-cooked pork belly . They also have amazing clams and oyster dishes that will make you reconsider your fav Chinese food spot. Read more

The very best thing here is the Peking duck or stir fry crab . Also order the garlic fried rice . A secret is their outstanding wine list . Arrive at 4:45 pm for the 1st seating.

So much good! Recommend the peeking duck . Good, authentic , cheap , friendly staff , fun atmosphere . Usually full so get there early. They only take reservations for 6 or more.

Laura Bourne

Love this place! Crowded , and long wait if you don't have rezo, but totally worth it. Not a tofu fan, but seriously try the tofu ! Everyone raves about the duck , will try it next time.

Double skin salad and Peking Duck . Don't miss these two but the walnut shrimp is also ridiculous. http://sffood.net/great-china

Sometimes we can all agree: the Peking duck is as good as people say. Perfectly crispy skin , tender meat and delicate wraps . The soups were also memorable, especially the duck bone soup .

William Ng

Amazing and authentic Peking duck ... Walnut shrimp was really good, and the duck soup and fried oysters were good starters

Andy Wang

The Peking Duck was amazing. The plum sauce was delicious. I also ordered the Sautéed spinach with garlic it was cooked perfectly

Emil Indradjaja

The Peking Duck is really good. The skin is nice and crispy . The double skin is good as well .

Splurge on the Peking duck if you're with a group! It is delicious - especially the skin!

With one bite of the famed double-skin noodles , followed by their superlative Peking duck , I was face-palming myself for not knowing about the place sooner.

Marta Tappero

I liked the food. Pork Dim sums were great. Rice was ok. Is a little pricy and service was nice. Is a better place to go in a group and share.

David Neumeyer

Cumin-braised lamb was awesome, Peking duck good with lots of crisp skin and no bones; pork and mushroom dishes bland

Salil Vanvari

Packing duck and string bings with minced pork is AMAZING! All other dishes we got were also very very good.

Malo Bourgon

Great food but can be very busy. Bar is first come first serve seating though; great for a party of two.

Tom Maxwell

Delicious fried rice , and they sell bottled beers at store prices which is convenient.

Best place for Peking Duck , two skin salad and crab dish! Newer, larger space now too (:

Once upon a time the best Peking duck in the bay . Still good but not jaw dropping.

Got this for take out and it was one of the best chinese food I've had in a while.

Solid joint. Ask any Berkeley student and they'll say they wish they failed their senior year just to stick around.
