Tai San

Finally tried this place after 16 years in Berkeley, complaining the entire time that there are no good Chinese places that offer delivery after Hunan on Shattuck closed down. They were the best...sigh....
Tai San is a pretty close second, though, and I'm excited to work my way through the menu. In general, they were fast (15 min to pick up, no delivery), friendly (family-owned) and the portions were huge. Off to a good start!
Ordered the Hong Kong style noodles, the sweet and sour chicken and the moo shu veggies this time. The moo shu took first place, and was delicious with the pancakes and plum sauce. Ordered 2 extra pancakes because the order only comes with 4 and I'm glad we did. The Hong Kong noodles were tasty, with everything but the kitchen sink in there... wish it had a bit more flavor though. Some spice and/or heat is missing, and I added a dash of vinegar and fish sauce to mine to give it a little zing. The sweet and sour chicken was by far the least favorite, but I imagine that's true everywhere. So much sauce and onion, not very much chicken. At least it was crispy and not soggy! Looking forward to trying some more adventurous choices!

This place is great! Highly recommend this place. Food had great taste especially the spicy noodle soup with shrimp. Overall its fabulous!

Pretty good food. Called in, quick ready in 10 mins. Glad that they're still around and open.
