In a wood-laden, minimalist yet trendy setting featuring a full bar, Great China has garnered a great following in Downtown Berkeley on Bancroft Way. Peking duck layered with crispy and thinly sliced skin is a celebrity on the menu alongside honey walnut prawns and the ever-popular potstickers. Proof that flavorful Chinese food can be found in a polished environment and not just the trusty hole-in-the-wall, Great China greets hungry crows with style and satiating flavors.
