Super bummed. Have enjoyed Elaine’s kitchen in the past. Tonight they sent the worst chicken. Super dry and hard. Almost as if it had already been cooked but then cooked again to heat it up. Both general TSO’s and orange chicken had to be thrown out. This is the second time in a row. Thought last time was just a bad night. Apparently not.

As a family owned restaurant giving this place a 5 star for the great hospitality, delicious food and speed of service. Spring rolls, even though deep fried, however very fresh, crispy and done on fresh oil. Would highly recommend spicy basil chicken, which was surprisingly mouth drooling. At the end we’ve got complimentary desert. The owner was nice to step out and introduce herself. Thank you, Elaine, it’s pleasure to meet you and know you. Will see you next time.

You will get drastic diarrhea after eating here! The waitress here is condescending and it took them half an hour from receiving the order to putting the hotpot on your desk. Trust me. It's better off eating hotpot at home.

Quality is decent and the ambiance is nice, but the prices are outrageous for hot pot. They are very stingy with their portions as well. You can do much better in SF for hot pot (especially around Sunset/Richmond). Came here once and have never returned since

TLDR: some decent food but mostly average food/price We had a few different dishes. The first meal comes with a lotus wrapped rice with chicken (pretty small), plain congee (porridge) and a drink for $12 which is pretty expensive for what it is, especially with plain congee. I ordered the $18 three item plate and though the value is decent, the char-siu was very lean and no fat at all, the chicken was average but the roast pork was my favorite with very crispy skin Milk tea was also average, not great but not amazing

I like to come on weekdays with family not as packed food always good. Fish porridge is my toddlers favorite here and is pretty fresh. I like their breakfast combos . The wife like the sticky rice.

I’m leaving this review because I feel the need to provide some counterpoint to the last two 1-star reviews. My family and I came on a Monday night and ordered chicken crispy pan fried noodles, salt and pepper fried fish, Mongolian beef and eggplant and tofu with basil. All of the dishes were generously portioned, hot and DELICIOUS. Sorry, no cardboard here. I’m Chinese, but that doesn’t make me an expert. Kind of like how taking cooking classes at a local chinese restaurant doesn’t make me an expert. If you’re like me and you just enjoy tasty food, come give them a try. Opened in 1983 by Uncle, Lai Lai has stayed in the family but they need your support. Let’s keep them thriving!

This place is a hidden gem, I had lived in Millbrae for like 10 years and have never been here before. The place definitely looks like it's been here a while. Interior is simple and very clean. I love the display of airplanes. Our waiter was super helpful and attentive. All of the items we had were delicious and I highly recommend. 1. Calamari - Crispy and lightly salted. Jalapeños definitely give it that extra kick. 2. Schezuan style fried chicken wings - This is spicy yet once you start eating it you can't get enough. Clears your nose right up. 3. Salt and pepper pork chop - I was blown away by this one, it was boneless and tasty, not greasy. This felt like something I can snack on all day while vegging out in front of the tv. 4. Dry Braised beef chow fun - This was delicious, the noodles were perfectly cooked and didn't give you that greasy kind of slimy after taste. This was a clean and not greasy. Not sure if you understand what I'm trying to say but if you've had your share of chow fun you get what I'm trying to explain. 5. Honey walnut prawns - not going to lie this by far is the best one we've ever had. It was crispy and crunchy. I definitely loved that it wasn't overly drenched in the sauce. Walnuts were addicting to eat at well. 6. Fried rice yang chow style - It's like a house special fried rice but with a perfect mix of meat and veggies. I definitely, can't wait to come back here again. The dishes were simple yet tasty. Portions are huge, which is rare now a days and definitely reasonably priced. Parking can be a challenge depending on the time you come.

Broadway avenue in Millbrae CA., has many fantastic Asian restaurants to enjoy. A few friends introduced me to Wonderful nearly 10 years ago and I never forgot it. Their menu is interesting and everything tastes good. Though my personal delight is their Beef noodle soup, I like to substitute the beef with shrimp. Now the last time I had it that way, was long ago. Perhaps they don't make it with shrimp anymore, you'll have to ask if want to try that dish. A couple of more things. They do have clean restrooms, and their lunch menu is sorta incognito. You may have to request it. Wonderful is just off LA Cruz, on Broadway avenue in Millbrae CA.

A nice clean homey Chinese restaurant serving human dishes. I will say they have the best smork I ever tasted. My goal is to return and try all their dishes that have smork in it cuz it's got nice smoky flavor. We also had cilantro with shredded beef. The beef is thinly cut/sliced instead of bigger chunks. A great sign for a Chinese place. The steam egg is just like what my wife and I had back in Taiwan. Childhood memories! Another reason i would happily drive from South bay to eat here again is their dish is NOT oily like other Hunan places in South bay...or Chinese restaurants in general. It's family style restaurant and it's not exactly cheap. The quality of the dishes well justifies the price. Worth it!

Very good place to have a porridge of different combination. We tried the bonito pork ribs peanuts with black eggs sawo porridge, Chinese broccoli beef, spicy beef tendon and free range chicken with ginger sauce. Everything were well prepared and delicious.

The clay pot congee here is absolutely delicious. I’m not very familiar with Cantonese cuisine, but the congee and fried rice I ordered suited my taste perfectly. Especially when paired with youtiao (Chinese fried dough), the soft and tender texture of the youtiao soaked up the flavorful broth, leaving a lasting impression. The nearby parking lot is less than a minute’s walk away, making it very convenient. Each dish they serve is generously portioned, and it’s also great for takeout.

2025 Well thankfully they have done an amazing turnaround here. the flavor profile on the wonton soup is superb with nuances with pork and egg in a wonderful broth with wontons and green onions. smells great, taste better. Attentive service, serving lots of delicious hot tea on a cold day. Shrimp roll hot and crispy. Almond chicken battered in bite size pieces. Mongolian beef tender and tasty. Fried rice dry and slightly crunchy. I liked it. Next time I want to try the egg foo Yung and mu shu pork. 2024 I see that they're still plenty of cars in the parking lot so I should try coming again and seeing how they have improved. Hopefully they are back to their traditional standard of excellence. 2022 Stopped coming here after COVID because the last couple of times the dishes were heavy on onions and not enough on the other ingredients. Also, they seemed short staffed. 2020 So glad we have reason to come to this part of town. Excellent food, easy parking. Close to WSU campus on Broadway. We always order family dinner. Husband prefers how they make Honey walnut with chicken instead of prawns. But I like the prawns and snow peas in delicate sauce. The BBQ pork was delicious, clean fresh and tender. The crab wontons are so superior. So thin, crisp and creamy inside. AMAZING!!! Got to try this hidden gem. Husband prefers their hotnsour soup, flavorful but not overpowering. I like the wonton soup. It is really packed an filling. You will enjoy the leftover chow mein and fried rice too.

I ordered the chicken chow mein and sweet-and-sour pork combo and everything had a funky smell and taste and was uneatable. The pork fried rice was cooked to death and had the same funky smell, same with the egg flour soup that was missing egg. I ordered through door dash so this trash cost me $30. This place used to be good years ago.

Hole in the wall restaurant and it has it’s good days but today was a bad day. This is not a good sight to see when halfway through your meal. If they don’t even clean the most basic part, you all need to start inspecting every inch of your food!

If you’re in the mood for Chinese food, can only pay with plastic, but don’t want to pay Door-Dash, Grub Hub, Uber Eats fees, this is your restaurant! They have their own delivery guys, prices are reasonable, the food tastes really good and the person who takes your order speaks excellent English! I’ve orders from them three times, and each time their service was consistently good. This is a good establishment!

Ordered here for the first time last night because Albert’s was closed. Got steamed dumplings, general Tao’s chicken pepper steak & pork fried rice. There’s was not one vegetable in site in the fried rice although it read vegetable fried rice & I added pork. The chicken & pepper steak was awful we couldn’t even finish our plate but the dumplings was the worst I’ve ever had. The outside was thick & gooey. Never again! 🤢

We have bought food from here on multiple occasions and had multiple bad experiences. If you order more than 3 quarts of wonton soup they water it down so much. They're about a mile away and still it took fourty minutes to get here after we were told it would only take 20-30 minutes. (We only ordered three things so it shouldn't have taken that long) the menu above is inaccurate apparently, and had to pay about 25% more than we intended to. Finally, the quality of the food isn't worth as much as they charge. Some of their items come with white rice, and we had bought a quart of food and they only gave us a pint of rice for it.

Horrible service! Food is mid and they will over charge you! Order 4 piece wings (no rice) charged me $12 when on the menu it says $7.45. Then had the audacity to be mad when I called them out. Make sure you check your receipts when ordering!

The food is average at best. Service is less than average. They do not honor their coupons on their menu- recently placed an order - the total was 65.86. Coupon states - free general Tso chicken pint with order over 55. My order is 65.86, they said no, they only take 54.80 into consideration for coupon. No explanation why.

My rice tasted like cigarettes. I wasn’t able to eat it. I call the restaurant back and just wanted to tell them what happened and order something else but the lady kept hanging up on me. She was saying I have the wrong number.

This is our favorite Chinese spot and I’ve been a loyal customer for many years. Family owned and operated. We order from here at least once a week and the food is always hot and fresh. The prices here are also a lot lower than other places. The owners have always been very nice to us and I love to support hardworking people. They are working from open till close everyday and their dedication is praiseworthy. Don’t let the location deter you from coming here, it’s worth it!

Not real attentive. Their dedication to stopping the spread of COVID-19 is very apparent though. do you see the plastic over the counter? Been there forever and always good food!

Food very dry. Ordered a chicken and broccoli with white sauce… white sauce was scarce and bland. Also was overcharged …
