Hadn't been there in a while. A little disappointed this time. Food seemed bland (mussels were tasteless without hot sauce). Previously, wait staff wore Thai outfits; now they're just in basic clothes. Food used to come in attractive metal containers; now just regular dishes. Don't know if ownership changed, but not hurrying back. Better Thai restaurants all around the area.

Unassuming location interestingly tucked away as I found this place accidentally. There is parking (ADA access) yet get there before noon. My entrance to many folks enjoying seafood dishes and dim sum was greeted with a waiter seating me promptly. Clearly seeing I was new, a servier came by and explained their incredible menu. The food is excellent, the ample dim sum is delicious, and be choosy as there is LOTS to choose from. The serviers were so helpful when I pointed to unknown dim sum dishes. Upon leaving, thanked me for stopping by..and yes, I will be returning.

This is a great chinese restraunt for lunch. The portions are large and the service is great. The price is very affordable, meaning lunch with soda for less than $9.00.

I'm often at Pacific East Mall for a massage upstairs and I usually add on lunch or dinner at Pho Saigon II. I just love the pho here. I usually have the beef pho and it is always tasty. Add a Vietnamese iced coffee and you have a great meal. My wife likes the chicken pho. They are fast and very nice here.

I ordered my bun cha over the phone as a take out and when I got to the place, I just decided to stay there and eat! The restaurant was by the Marina and a park and the view was simply beautiful! I had a great lunch and yes! the bun was really good too!

I went to the restaurant because my Chinese American cousin suggested the place ... the food was mediocre, the bathroom was SUPER disgusting bathroom, and WAAAAY too expensive. 4 of us had dim sum and it cost me $90. Ridiculous for the quality of food and the amount that I ate. I will never return.

4. Sichuan Fusion

Although there are many Chinese restaurants in Berkeley, the ones that I have gone to, including some of the top-rated ones have left me a bit disappointed. Dalian is my current favorite amongst the Berkeley Chinese restaurants. When I was out at the Pacific Mall, and looked at the menu for Sichuan Fusion, I decided to give it a try. That was well over a year ago. I have been back multiple times since then. That alone should tell you I like it. If you read my prior review, you will understand why I would discourage you from ordering the lunch specials. Perhaps I just caught them on a bad day, but I have subsequently ordered entirely off the regular menu, and have found that to be a much more satisfying experience. There is one dish that I always order. Sometimes I even get two orders, one to eat at the restaurant and the second to take home. That dish is ma po tofu. I am not a vegetarian or vegan, but I am fond of tofu in many forms, and I like the version of ma po tofu at Sichuan Fusion the most of any that I have had locally. You can taste the Szechuan peppercorn that is in it, and dou ban jiang is also evident. I happen to like spicy food, and a few minutes after you start eating this you feel warm all over. We have tried the tea-smoked duck, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The skin is nice and crisp, and the fat fully rendered. Both the twice-fried green beans and the eggplant dishes are good, but not as spicy as they could be. We recently had a stir-fried dish that came loaded with 40-50 chili peppers, and can be ordered with either lamb or beef. I believe it was Uygur-style beef/lamb. In the beef version that we had, the thinly sliced meat was almost crunchy, and there was a cumin flavor in the dish. I thought it was very tasty, had a nice level of heat, and I would love to try the lamb version in the future. Perhaps the only stir-fried beef dish that we were unenthused by is one of their specials that has corn in it. Look at the pictures in the menu for the proper name; it was the only dish that I remember having corn in it. I would have thought that fresh corn would have been used, but it used canned corn instead. Overall, I think there is an incredible variety to choose from, and each time we have gone there has been at least one standout dish beyond the ma po tofu. I look forward to each visit and finding something new that I really enjoy. Each time I have dined there, I have been one of the few non-Asian guests. I consider this a very positive sign. Each time I have dined there the portions have been very generous, and we always leave with enough leftovers for at least another meal. The restaurant scores high on value in my book. It seems like a great place to take a large group. It is a probably a good thing that this restaurant is a drive away from my house. If it were closer by and/or within walking distance I suspect I would be eating here more often I really should and missing out on trying other new restaurants in the area. If you are looking for a break from Chinese food with toned down seasonings, then give Sichuan Fusion a try. Although you can choose dishes that are mild, I would encourage you to live dangerously, and feel the burn.

A friend told us about this place. He said "it's a hole in the wall" but great food, even better than Sawadee and great prices. Agreed. The service was great and food excellent. Prices were not as high as Sawadees as well. Going to the bathroom was an adventure. Lol. I had to go through the kitchen where they were cooking. Be careful. Lol

I wanted to try their ttoek-bok-ee with cheese so I ordered this item to- go together with a half order of Gangnam Chicken. Loved both dishes! However, since they do not give any complimentary banchan (side dishes) with takeout orders, I think they should consider serving the banchan while the customers wait for their order. I felt kind of short changed because I paid the same amount as the dine in customers yet they had banchan while I didn't.

Had the traditional baht mi pork sandwich with cilantro and an avocado smoothie with tapioca pearls. The ingredients were all fresh and looking at other dishes around me, this is obviously a popular local opportunity to sample well prepared Vietnamese cooking.
