I was traveling and was looking for a Chinese late night snack. That congee was mighty but a bit on the sweet side. The noodle dish is average or above average. That big fried dough not fresh so it’s all crunchy and hard. I’m sure this place can cook up some nice dishes since I was traveling and won’t be back until my next trip to South San Francisco.

Generous portion, tasty bbq pork and i like it that they are lean meat. The vegetable went well with the meat and rice. The dessert red bean soup is surprisingly good and not too sweet.

Service was excellent. But I got Cajun seafood combo (C2 on menu), but the crab was no clean, and even has some kind of parasites. The food is totally deep in the sauce, everything should be clean. I also got Cajun fries, and we just had a little bit of ketchup. Why they don’t let the ketchup on the table? We didn't even have enough for half the potatoes.

This Cajun and Chinese food mixed is unique and special. The food is excellent and well prepared. The dumplings are the best and very well prepared, better than other places and you have the soup inside each dumpling, which is well done. And the green string Beans was at the right tenderness. The problem is the parking… and the location is not the best

Way too many good Chinese restaurants in the area. I made the mistake of trying Panda Express very very bad food. Kind of place you want to go at 2:00 in the morning if you're drunk and nothing else is open. Chow mein was a disgrace. Orange chicken overrated overrated!

A few things wrong with this place, the app has the wrong location when you try to navigate to here. Thankfully it’s visible nearby but across a very busy street to get to. Once on the correct side the parking is not very convenient and lastly the workers are not very attentive, I was waiting behind someone at the register who had just ordered since I pre-ordered. Instead of waiting on me after, since I did not have to order anything, the worker went to pack other pre orders. I stepped forward a bit annoyed and they finally asked if I had an order, I saw o. The screen my order was already completed and I was then given my order. When I finally ate my meal it just didn’t have the same quality I’m used to for Panda. The orange chicken was hard like it got over fried before mixing it into the sauce.

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.

We arrive at the restaurant after six o'clock in the afternoon, so we don't have to wait. Order directly by scanning the code and ordering online, and then a waiter will confirm the menu and spicy degree. They serve food quickly and taste good. When we left, the restaurant was full and there were people waiting to into the restaurant.

Went back to "Little Chengdu," which used to be "Little Sichuan" in San Mateo. Happy they're open again after the pandemic. The new place is smaller but feels cozy. Had a nice surprise when my partner debated a third dish; I remembered their big portions, so I said no. The Cold Noodle was still big enough for both of us! My favorite, the Sichuan Spicy Cold Noodle, was as good as always. Big portion, tasty sauce—satisfying. Tried Tea Smoked Duck for the first time, and it was better than expected. Tastes like smoked turkey with a hint of tea. Smelled a bit smoky, but the flavor was excellent, not too bitter. Just a heads up, parking around the area might be a bit difficult.

This is a hidden gem!!! We passed by so many times and went here the first time last week. Amazing! The head chef used to work for Beijing Restaurant 北京饭店 as its head chef in Beijing which is one of the highly recognized restaurants in China. The food is very authentic and use traditional ingredients and methods to create balanced flavor (vs using additives). There are one legendary dish you must try (requires 24 hr reservation): the famous and legendary Eight Treasure Duck 八宝葫芦鸭. The skill and efforts put into this truly royal dish is unmatched in presentation, flavor and texture! Ps, for those who like a quick bite in a rush, this is not the place. Take time, slow down, and enjoy the true Chinese dishes here.

We dropped in by chance. I love quiet, uncrowded little restaurants. Very quiet, the hostess brought the menu, the waiter took the order in a flash and in about 10 minutes there were eggplants, rice, then crab in sauce and a great fish in sweet and sour sauce. Many people write about the Peking duck. Next time for sure! We wanted seafood. We really liked the crab in sauce. Well spoken, properly cut. The rest of the fish was packed and we took this deliciousness home.

Baked dishes and deep fried wings are good. Drinks are great (Hong Kong style lemon tea and milk tea). Pan fried noodles and French toast are burnt without "wok hey," so they must have used high heat to cook anything too quickly. Taking shortcut did not really work here. Not very impressed, but okay overall.

#2 This is one of my favorite restaurants. It’s not fancy or particularly special, but it’s a place where you can enjoy a delicious, simple meal at a reasonable price with milk tea. I personally love the pork katsu and spaghetti combo, and I also enjoy the sausage macaroni! And now they even accept credit cards, including Amex! #1 Simple and delicious Hong Kong-style café!! Cash Payment ONLY!!

Hot Wok is a tiny, non-descript restaurant off the grid in a commercial-office neighborhood. It doesn’t look like much inside or out, but the service is good, the food good to fantastic, the prices reasonable and the food is serviced quickly and hot. They process a lot of take out orders for the lunch crowd when I visited. The only downside; the dining area could use some updating….it is a bit dingy. Also, it is difficult to find street parking at lunchtime although the walk is not as far as it seems.

Such a lovely hidden place! Portions are huge, prices are affordable, staff is so friendly!!! Looked like all the dishes, whether rice or noodle dishes, can be made vegetarian. My friend and I had lunch specials - combo of a soup (for us it was sweet and sour) and your choice of protein with rice or salad. The sweet and sour soup was made with eggs so the lady kindly offered me to make a veggie soup for me, can you imagine?! So sweet! My tofu dish she said is vegan, no fish sauce or anything like that! If you’re in the area I strongly suggest you stop by!

Have been coming to this mom and pops restaurant for over 2 decades. Food is authentic and always made fresh to order. Friendly atmosphere and have never had a bad experience with any of their employees. It can be busy during lunch hours for the steam table, but that just speaks volumes about the quality and flavors you can find here.

Toa Yuen, located in the Laurelwood shopping Center off Hillsdale Blvd, offers a buffet lunch daily. Good food, reasonable prices, friendly staff. It’s my go-to place for a good Chinese meal.

The food are fresh and amazing!! My wife from Taiwan loves it. She finally found a Chinese restaurant in the US that impressed her. The taste and quality are that of premium more expensive restaurants. Props to the cook. We couldn't wait to eat it while charging our vehicle nearby.

Fast, fair prices, classic, simple Chinese food. The use of corn starch was a little heavy but not out of line. the lunch specials are a single entree and rice so we got a side dish of steamed vegetables. The salt and pepper pork was battered and this is not how I’m used to it but it tasted great. I’m not sure this dish would be as good as take out but as dine in and hot and crispy I really liked it. $30 for two for lunch.
