1699 Solano Ave./Tulare Ave., (510) 525-9890. L-D daily.
This new incarnation in the former King Tsin spot--long ago, King Tsin was the first Mandarin Chinese restaurant in town--is switching the emphasis to spicy Sichuan cuisine. With hardwood floors and big windows looking out to the street, Sichuan Style has comfortable tables and chairs and a back area for larger parties. Standouts on the menu include chili oil water dumplings, sesame flat bread, wok-charred kale or cabbage, super-spicy Sichuan boiled fish fillet, sweet and sour crispy fish, braised pork shoulder, Hunan stir-fried shredded pork, lamb in hot pot sauce, and dry-cooked green beans. Lunch specials feature more common dishes and have included kung pao prawns, eggplant with spicy garlic sauce, and Mongolian beef.
2020 pandemic update: My favorite take-out from here is dry-cooked green beans with chopped garlic, prawns with sweet & sour spicy sauce flecked with large chopped red peppers, and very good chow fun noodles with barbecued pork.
More pandemic updates.
Way more things to do in Berkeley.
More ideas for exploring Northern California.
