Its been years since Ive been to King Yen, but they didnt disappoint then and they dont now. The best Chinese food (in my opinion other than Yang Chow). The food is always delicious and fresh and plentiful. This is a great place for groups or just a little outing with family or friends. The service is always good and they can handle a large group with ease. Must haves: potstickers, green beans, fried prawns, salt & pepper prawns, sweet & sour chicken (or anything on the menu) chow mein

Best kept secret in East Bay outside Oakland Chinatown. Definitely my favorite Chinese food in Berkeley if not all Easy Bay. The staff are super attentive and fast. They were extremely accommodating and genuinely concerned for my sons peanut allergy instead of just waiving it off like so many places do. They also do tofu right - very tender and soft inside! Get here before 6 and you might be the only people in here, but it fills up fast after that.

Great food at this mid sized restaurant. Ive never been disappointed with the food here and many people I know swear it is the best Chinese food in Berkeley. Its not super "authentic" per se but it is great for small or large groups if not a bit on a the pricey side. All in all would definitely come here again for lunch or a date.

Absolute favorite Chinese food in Berkeley. My family has been coming to King Yen basically since I was born, and its been consistently delicious all these years. Potstickers, sizzling rice soup, dry-cooked green beans, lemon chicken....so many home-run dishes, its best to come with a crowd so you can share and try a bunch.

Summary based on one group dinner: --ok food, nothing special for Berkeley and pretty typical of what passes for Northern style food, but so mild that it was more like Southern. Even the chilli oil was mild. --better than average service for this type restaurant --ok prices --challenging parking Ok in this immediate area.

High Quality Chinese Cuisine in Berkeley. I loved the cleanliness, ambience and food quality. Both the variety of fare and the taste was quite good. Prices are reasonable. I would go again for good Chinese Cuisine.

Over price , I purposely order Walnut Shrimp to compared with Great China. I was disappointed. I feel like eating shrimp with Mayonnaise for that kind of price. Services???

Family-owned restaurant serving relatively simple Chinese-american dishes. My family has been coming here for nearly two decades and will always come back
