Tai San

By far one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the Bay. Food quality is great, service is great and to top it off, the wait is non existent. Usually 10mins or less! A must try if you’re in the Berkeley area.

Pork fried rice, mandarin chicken, bbq pork buns were all delicious and cheap! Sake for only $4 too!

Clean and well maintained! It looked like a family run restaurant and the customer service was great. We had 2 chicken dishes which came with a side of soup and spring rolls. It was delicious and had enough leftovers for an other meal. Also the table size was perfect and had room for everything.

Love this little restaurant. Whenever I'm in Berkeley I stop by. Original, tasty.

Stopped by for dinner and was delighted. I ordered eggplant with hot sauce (a large cup of rice included), and it was plentiful and quite tasty (other veggies were there as well). Also included were a cup of veggie soup, a veggie spring roll, and a teapot of green tea, all for a whopping price of $6.80 including taxes. I was simply amazed. The ingredients were fresh and varied. While it was not a gastronomic experience, it was filling and pleasant, as was the service itself. Highly recommend.

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.

I have eaten here for two years and have found that the food is always awesome and the people are even better. I ordered some delivery food because I was sick. When the owner delivered it and saw that I was sick, he absolutely refused to take a tip and just told me to feel better. Try the family style tofu!

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.
