Chengdu Style Restaurant in Berkeley, CA

We've been to Chengdu Style Restaurant in Berkeley numerous times, so I'm surprised to see that I apparently hadn't profiled it. Without a doubt, it belong to the elite class of great Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area. Above is pictured the Wonton In Hot Chili Oil, superb tender pork shot through with Chinese spices, inside a luscious wonton skin.

Here is Chengdu Style's superb version of Toothpick Lamb, every bit as perfect as the version at Chengdu Taste in Los Angeles, and Chili House in San Francisco.

We decided on a seasonal vegetable side, so we ordered Stir-Fried Pea Sprouts, which clearly taste like they are stir-fried with some chicken stock.

Above & below: Black Fungus & Onions in Chili Sauce, similar to the fabulous fungus dish we got at the Uighur restaurant in Union City (Sama) recently. Bright flavors with springy crunch.

Here's another shot of the superb Tooothpick Lamb.
