This is THE best Chinese food that we have had since being in Berkeley. We throughly enjoyed our food and it heated up the next day just right. Oh. They have $10 happy hour every day..lol
The salt and pepper wings were delicious (1st time trying them). However, I wish more wings came for the price paid honestly.. but I’m not going to ding then in that. The BBQ pork fried rice and shrimp and broccoli were delicious. Next time, we are going to ask for garlic sauce with the shrimp and broccoli. They’re food is really good and worth the money.
Everything came out hot, the staff were warm and funny. This place is so beautiful to just look at. They put effort into ensuring their restaurant was welcoming.
We ordered several items and the food tasted very good. Shortly after eating though, both my partner and I developed headaches, which made us wonder whether some ingredients contained MSG. When I called the restaurant, they explained that while they do not add MSG directly, some of the ingredients they source do contain it.
For anyone sensitive to MSG, this is something to be aware of. On the plus side, they were straightforward and honest when asked.
I love the Mushu dish. My partner had the honey glazed BBQ pork and Mongolian beef which he liked a lot. Hot and sour soup could use a little more spice and salt. I never get a MSG thirst or headache after eating which is super important to me.
Servers here don’t understand what service is here. We had 4 things on order and it took over an hour to provide us with two of our items. One of the items came out cold and the other two items “rice dishes” were not provided.
Server had a horrible attitude that is not conducive for a service business. Not even caring and walking past us multiple times. I literally has to scream to get his attention. We have 3 kids that need boosters, and it never occurred to him to offer a booster. After I got his attention you could clearly see he wasn’t bothered.
After speaking to one of the managers, we finally got their attention and proceeded to leaving with our food boxed.
What happened
After requesting a to-go box twice, the server ignored my requests twice, making direct eye contact and then deliberately ignoring me the second time while actively engaging other guests around me.
When I finally had to force an interaction and directly asked for help, his exact response was that he “did not care” and that I was “not in his section,” as if basic acknowledgment and human decency were optional extras.
Several other staff members were close enough to hear and watch this exchange and chose to do absolutely nothing, sending a very clear message that this level of disrespect is tolerated here.
Bias and discrimination
The pattern was not a simple oversight; it was targeted indifference that communicated my presence, comfort, and business did not matter in that space.
Being ignored twice, then told outright that my experience was irrelevant because of internal table assignments, reflects a deeper bias about whose needs deserve attention and whose can be dismissed.
This is exactly the kind of inadequate service and disparate treatment that anti-discrimination agencies recognize as part of discriminatory customer experience, especially when complaints are brushed aside or minimized.
Management and culture failure
No manager intervened, no one apologized, and no effort was made to repair the harm, even after it was crystal clear that the interaction was hostile and unacceptable.
When a staff member feels comfortable saying they “don’t care” to a guest’s face, it signals a culture where respect is optional and discrimination can flourish unchecked.
A restaurant that allows staff to openly ignore and demean guests while coworkers look on silently has a systemic problem, not a one-off bad night.
Service rating and warning to others
Service rating here is a hard 0 out of 10; there was no basic acknowledgment, no hospitality, and certainly no sense of safety or belonging.
Anyone who has experienced discrimination or targeted disrespect should document and share their experience so patterns of behavior at businesses like this cannot hide behind curated ratings.
This place needs serious review and accountability, because there is every reason to believe I am not the first, nor will I be the last, person to be ignored, humiliated, and mistreated here.
I am considering staging a full boycott with picketing should I find an adequate amount of time to do so. Do not visit this place as it will ruin your dining experience.
Absolute favorites so far are pork fried rice and sesame chicken but everything is amazing.
