Best WLM Reviews
If u have not tried their farmer's bowl (sauteed pork with eggs n king oyster mushrooms) and you like spicy food, you are missing a lot!! The hunan style sauteed beef is also very tasteful. I'll say this is one of the best Chinese restaurant around the area.
Really decent authentic Chinese Hunan food. Lots of spicy dishes but nothing was that unbearable. All the dishes had a lot of flavor but mostly because of how much oil they used. Could have toned that down a bit. Braised pork and boiled fish were excellent.
Overall attentive service and nice open space. Has to be one of the go to Chinese spots around the area.
Having heard rave reviews about Wojia Hunan Cuisine, my anticipation was high as we ventured into this Berkeley staple. From the moment we started with their Glutinous Rice Balls, it was clear that Wojia was going to surpass every expectation. The rice balls were a delightful introduction, setting the stage for a culinary journey through Hunan cuisine.
The Hot & Sour Soup followed, and it was nothing short of incredible. Its balance of flavors was a masterclass in how traditional elements can be executed to perfection. The soup had just the right kick and sourness, making it unforgettable and a must-try for anyone visiting.
Our journey continued with the green beans and walnut shrimp, each dish showcasing the chef’s ability to highlight the natural flavors and textures of the ingredients. The green beans were cooked to perfection, maintaining their vibrant color and crispness, while the walnut shrimp was a heavenly mix of crunchy, sweet, and savory—a dish truly “out of this world.”
The complimentary tea provided a soothing counterpoint to the rich flavors of the meal, demonstrating Wojia’s attention to detail and commitment to an authentic dining experience. Service was impressively quick, ensuring our meal progressed smoothly without any unnecessary waits.
While the ambiance was just okay, lacking some of the flair one might expect, it did nothing to detract from the stellar quality of the food and the efficiency of the service.
Wojia Hunan Cuisine is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Hunan in Berkeley. Each dish we tried was a testament to the skill and passion behind the scenes, making it clear why this spot comes so highly recommended. I look forward to returning and exploring more of their menu, confident that each visit will be as remarkable as the first.
One of the best spicy Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area. You can’t go wrong with the Stone Pot Beef Ribs 石锅大牛排 (Chinese version of Daeho Short Ribs but way better value) and Farmer Bowl 农家一碗香
A little overpriced but very delicious food!
We tried chive & tofu stir fry, sesame balls (their most famous dish), toothpick lamb stir fry, and lotus root with pork.
Only complaint I have about the food is that lotus root with pork literally had two tiny pieces of pork. I'm talking like fingernail tiny lol we were very confused and thought maybe they forgot to put in the meat but the server said that's how it's supposed to be.
Everything was very delicious though, and we are definitely planning to go back. Just not gonna order the lotus root dish
The sesame balls were so interesting too. We ordered it because it seemed super famous and popular. Honestly, it was kinda weird at first because it's savory and slightly spicy at first but inside is sweet and chewy so it wasn't fully a savory dish nor a dessert dish. But it grew on us as we kept eating it. Definitely give it a try!!
I liked that the interior was clean and new. I'm hoping more restaurants like this opens near us!
Food is very spicy! The sesame pancake is awesome. Other items are not bad
Service is a bit of lacking. For example, I have all bones filled my plate after having the duck — a good service means someone need to check it out and ask whether I need a new plate or change it proactively. But no, no one give me a new plate ever.
We are a group of four, and it's become my go-to place for satisfying my spicy cravings. We ordered a variety of dishes, including Toothpick Lamb, Jelly Noodles, Layered Pig Ear, Beef Combination Frog with Golden Soup, and Mongolian Beef.
I must start by raving about the Toothpick Lamb – the flavor is absolutely incredible. The only downside is that the portion size is a bit small, but the taste more than makes up for it. The Pig Ear dish also left a positive impression – it's flavorful and quite tasty. However, for those who can't handle too much spiciness, it's essential to take note of the menu's indicated spice levels. My tolerance is relatively high, but some of my family members found themselves sweating while eating, so proceed with caution if you're spice-sensitive.
On the other hand, the Mongolian Beef was a real highlight. It was delicious, and I have no complaints about it whatsoever.
Unfortunately, the Beef Combination Frog with Golden Soup left something to be desired. The portion of the frog was disappointingly small, and the way it was cut was a bit odd. I ended up mostly eating the joints and bones, which was less than satisfying.
Tasty and expansive menu offering great Hunan style dishes. This restaurant is close to Berkeley and worth the trek up. The dining area has lots of tables so there usually isn’t a wait though it’s usually fairly busy with guest.
This was my second time going so we tried a few new dishes. I am a fan of spicy and numbing foods so everything tasted delicious, but my favorites are always any of the white fish soups (sliced flounder). The tea served with our meal was also quite tasty.
Lots of options for everyone so definitely give this place a try!
