Malazui Tasty Bowl - Berkeley

The food is fantastic, and the meat is always fresh. The prices are very straightforward: it's $17 per pound for meat and $12 per pound for vegetables. My friend and I, both weighing 180 pounds, usually spend less than $36.

This is a traditional Chinese gourmet restaurant. I had lunch with my friends and we ordered four dishes for five people. I particularly enjoyed the fried rice topped with beef and the fish cooked in cold oil. I'm giving them five stars not just for the delicious food but also for the excellent service. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends, and I plan to return to try more dishes!

Mar 10 2019 update I think it 's time to adjust the stars. I reduce them from 4 to 3. I tried the lamb brisket? menu which was a recommended but more expensive menu (today 's special). It was not worth ordering for its price (16-17 ish including tax). Too many bones and too strong taste of chemical ingredients. I was very dissatisfied. There were a lot of veges but not enough to save the 4 stars. Feb 12 2019 update Ok... I ordered a curry beef-ish thing yesterday since there was an offer for a 2$ discount to go and I was very disappointed. You can check one of the pictures I uploaded and you can see that they have fried potatoes in the menu, which you might expect to be in the CHINESE dish the least. If the taste is in harmony with the fried then it would have been fine, which is ABSOLUTELY not true. I don 't know about what the 'authentic ' Chinese cuisine is, but feels like the menu is not authentic, neither a legit fusion, just a kind of failure of mixing some Chinese things and some ingredients they can get here... I still like this place but will never order the dish. Original: Not a bad place especially you are a fan of chinese food and your place is far from Great China and Heat Cafe, I recommend this place. It 's a bit more expensive than Heat Cafe and cheaper than the other, and the food quality is also like in the middle of the two. But it 's recommendable considering its price. Beef noodle had as much beef as it should have and chow mien had a considerable amount. Both were tasty, except that they were a bit salty.

Authentic but way too expensive. This bowl plus 1 serving of rice cost 40 dollars.

Dry Pot is tasty, good vegan options. Low rating because the price is difficult to decipher: based on weight and if there is meat. Not from the menu price. Ended up spending much more than I was planning.
