Nash Cafe

Came here on Thursday night around 7:30pm and it was empty. Never a good sign when there's nobody inside the restaurant. Parking is a little difficult since it's on Shattuck Ave. Decided to order a whole bunch of skewers to try: beef, lamb, chicken, pork belly, beef tongue, chicken wing, gizzard, and momo bun. We decided to go for hot and the server warned us that it is spicy. We like spicy and told her it's fine. Always a good sign when someone stops you from ordering spicy. We were intrigued. They did not disappoint. Sure enough, the skewers had a lot of seasoning, flavor, and spice. Some of my favorites were chicken and pork belly (they had a nice crispy outside) and juicy in the inside. The beef and lamb skewers were pretty standard. Momo bun was good as well. Gizzard, I was told was good but I'm not a fan out the texture myself. Overall, the skewers were good. They did not skimp on the seasoning, which was appreciated. Now to the noodles. Honestly the noodles were okay at best. Chongqing spicy noodles didn't pack the same heat as I'm accustomed to. The broth didn't have a lot of flavor. Wuhan dry sesame noodles was the favorite of the table but I wasn't a fan of the richness and creaminess of the sesame. The zhajang noodles lacked flavor. Overall great place for skewers, I would skip on the noodles though.

Now I'm imagining that this must be authentic Chinese food. When you see pork trout, pork intestines, chicken feet and bullfrog on the menu you know you're not at PF Chang's!This place is near campus and open late. It's a casual Chinese eatery with noodles, dumplings, soups and other traditional dishes.I tried the Zha Jiang noodles which were good. My friend said the Shrimp wonton soup was good as well. Wasn't a lot of options on the menu for me, but I think they did what they were trying to do!You order through the waitress and pay at the register.

In a nutshell; great chinese food in the day, even greater at midnight. Stopped by here to get some good food and something to warm the eve. As the nights were cool and breezy after a days activities. Parking can be a pain as you can only get lucky with street parking and can be tough when there's an event nearby or the aftermath of one. Nonetheless, place served great food even when you're the only customers during the late nights. Overall would stop by again if ever in Berkeley.

I was craving some Chinese bbq and found this place in Yelp. We ordered a lot, and the bill came about $120. The people here are absolutely nice. The chef even came out to double check the spicy level herself. The food...is on the salty side. The salty taste overpowered the ingredients themselves and other spices. My favorites were beef tongue, spam, and pork. My least favorites were pig brain, chicken skins, and chicken hearts. Their noodles on the other hand were good. We ordered Wuhan Sesame Paste noddles. It was absolutely tasty. I guess I might not come back to this place. There are better choices here in the bay. The place itself is cute though and you can play the piano behind their restaurant.

The pizza was delicious and great for left overs the next day. The gentleman at the register was polite and even brought us complementary water and delicious knots while we waited for our pizza. The restaurant has ample seating for groups.

I love Nash Cafe. Amazing food, service, pricing, and environment.When I arrived, I heard Chinese television playing in the background felt like I was back in China. We ordered the Chong Qing Spicy Noodle-Sichuan Pepper Mince Pork Veggies, Marinated Pork Belly Over Rice, and Lamb Skewers. My favorite was the barbecue. They flavored the lamb skewers perfectly and had a good balance of lean and fatty meat. I also spoke Chinese to the owner so she gave us bigger portions. I love bilinguality. 我爱中国. The service is also really fast. I can't wait to bring my friends here and try more items on the menu!

Came here w/ my sister for a late dinner on a weekday around 11pm. It was our first time coming here and we were craving Chinese!The service was great and loved how sweet the ladies working there were. It's a definitely a smaller restaurant so super cute and cozy.Enoki mushrooms - we love enoki mushrooms so definitely loved this dish! It had garlic butter on top and was chewy / crispy.Wonton soup - so warm and comforting. C2 - pretty decent dish but was kind of missing something. Felt like it needed more flavor or spice! Loved the veggies in the dish and thought it rlly added to the texture.

The best fried fish I have ever had in California.It was a Pink Fish and it tasted fantastically delicious!Skewers are excellent and overall service is on point.It was recommended to request fried fish in advance, due to the prep of their secret recipe and the time it takes to cook it to perfection!

This is the kind of restaurant that does not look too friendly for non Chinese customers, since most of the signage are in Chinese without translation, also most of the time there is only Asian people inside, but typically in theses places the food is the best, and this was the case.I put 4 starts instead of 5 because of the price, a little pricey for my taste since this is not a fancy restaurant to charge so much.The good things about the food at this place is that they have items that are not so easy to find in the US. If you like Panda Express type of Chinese food, this is not the place for you. It is not loaded with sugar and has types of meat you won't find in your mall food court (fried chicken skin, tripe and more).Recommended for an authentic experience if you can afford it.

Really good late night spot for homey comfort food. Everything was pretty decent but what made this place was the service. The grandma who took our order was very kind and attentive. Food came quick and was super hot. Would come again if in the area and would try new dishes out!
