Great China in Berkeley

Shrimp & Pork Dumplings at Great China.
Finally got around to Great China, and should have been sooner, due to all the raves which turn out to be completely justified. Below is one of the best Hot & Sour Soups I've ever had.





As you can tell from above, the Shrimp & Pork Dumplings were very hot when they arrived at our table. Absolutely sublime.



Haven't had Chow Mein since...the Carter Administration? The version we had was Seafood Chow Mein with scallops, shrimp and calamari which tasted like they were very fresh, not from a frozem mixed seafood bag. The pasta, sauce and thinly sliced vegetables made this an unforgettable dish.



Walnut Prawns.



Probably the best eggroll I've ever had, a far cry from the eggroll stands that used to surround my college, which were super deep-fried. Here the cabbage & carrots tasted so fresh they were practically raw.
