Came here with a group and we had no wait on Tuesday at 2 pm. Good: - This place has so much variety - I loved the pumpkin dessert, and the fried tomato and egg with rise, the duck soup was hearty too - Peanut noodles were a standout dish - Portion sizes were good and this place was great value for the price - Bright natural lighting and homey ambiance Bad: - Wish I could have tried more of the dishes before we got full! Overall this place was amazing! I'd come again

Love this place! I’ve been coming here regularly and it never disappoints. The flavors are spot on—just like what you’d get in a small shop in China. The pork dumplings and noodle soup are my go-to, and the chili oil is amazing. Super affordable, fast service, and always consistent. It’s one of those rare spots where you feel like you’re getting real homemade food. Highly recommend if you're in San Mateo and want something satisfying and authentic.

I had a great experience at this restaurant. The indoor environment was clean and well-maintained, creating a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. Service was impressively fast, and there was a decent variety of food options to choose from. What really stood out was the pricing—this spot offers the lowest price per pound I’ve seen in the San Mateo area, making it a great value for anyone looking for a budget-friendly meal without compromising on quality.

Great selection of ingredients. Best price for Mala tang in town. Tasty food! The sauce bar is very basic. They charge extra for green onions, cilantro, and garlic, but it only 50 cents each and me order of each can easily be shared with the table. Right now your order comes with a free malatown tote bag. Wasn't the biggest fan of everyone being served in to go containers, but I always have leftovers so it makes things easier. If you want Mala tang to go, this is the place for you.

Came here to celebrate achieving a milestone. The food is amazing and did not disappoint. My husband and I are vegetarians and we loved that there is a wide range of vegetarian options. Being new to Chinese food there are some really good options. We got the vegetarian spicy ma la noodles and the signature numbing spiciness of the Sichuan peppers was a great experience. 10/10 will recommend.

I used to love this place but not anymore. Somehow they change my fav dish “pan fried beef pie” 牛肉餡餅 into a weird shape and cut it like nobody know they want to save the money serve to customer cheat food. Taste not the same. And the whole pie is thiner than a paper. Feel like I’m eating a fried cardboard. I don’t understand why they change it like this. We pay what we get. But why you all of a sudden change it to a cheaper version of the food and that’s not what 牛肉餡餅looks like. I’m beyond disappointed at this moment and asking myself. Why? Why? why? Is it so hard to keep it like original? And I asked the waiter, this is not the pan fired beef pie. He’s super confidant and tell me yes! That’s the pan fried beef pie. We just change it to a different shape not round anymore. And look at me like I’m a stupid person who doesn’t know what’s pan fried beef pie. Ok, I know I’m not coming back. And That guy gave me attitude makes me feel I’m wrong. Of course we kinda argued about the “pie” and he did say that he can return that order. But hello???!!!! I don’t care bout money problem right now. I care bout the beef pan fired pie, the taste the shape the thick pie!!!! So sad why is a good restaurant has to change it and later on close the restaurant. I know I’m not coming back. All because of that. Oh, and we also have pan fried dumping 鍋貼. Guess what? They change it too!!! They don’t serve with soy sauce paste 醬油膏 anymore. They give you kimchi which I don’t understand. And the kimchi taste so bad. I ask them and they just denying “we never serve the soy sauce paste醬油膏 before. WOW Fool me once is ok. Fool me twice….. Sorry byeeeee~ Enough for arguing. I’m just paid and bounce not even finish the food.

Just amazing all around. The cabbage is savory. The pork and pepper/mushrooms are amazing. The luffah was undersalted though. I didn't care for the chicken tomato/potato pot but it's objectively cooked well. The mushroom stir fry is a must get. Cauliflower is cooked perfectly. The sour fish fillet is mid

Used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant in San Mateo county even before they moved from El Camino to Marina Foods plaza. I loved some of their lunch specials and although they kept on raising prices but at least they taste good. The service is good as they would wrap leftover food for you instead of just throwing you some togo boxes. This place used to focus on Hunan but probably sensing a lack of Yunan cuisine they are branching out to Yunan food. I don't think they are that authentic but at least they are delicious. I really like their Farmers Combo (egg, pork, wood ear mushroom and other stuff), spicy and sour beef, and Iove their conch with special mushrooms. Their spiciness is authentic so when they say original spicy make sure you can hold your spiciness before being gunho about your tolerance to spicy food. The place is not large so you may have to wait in the weekend. I do think the price is too high now especially their frog dishes but I still decided to keep the 5 star rating because it is still one of the best Chinese food restaurants in the Bay Area. Oh you can also find parking in the rear or side if parking at the front is too crowded.

So delicious! My first time trying here. It blows my mind. Beef stew with bean curd is really good. Hand-tipped chicken is also really good. Clay pot rice is supreme. We tried two flavors — Myself alone finished one pot. The service is also good. The staff is very friendly. I heard there is always a line. It is a small setting with 7-8 tables. At 1:40 pm, We waited for 30 mins when 6 parties before us. So do your own math. But I have to say it is worth it.

Great food and friendly staffs! Have been ordering from this place 5 times in a month since I first tried this place. The food is authentic and delicious. We love ordering online and doing pickups so we don’t need to wait in the long line!

Overall good foods and good service! Since it’s the Lunar new year season, no more crab and lobster noodle specials. The Lunar new year combos are expensive. But the family combos look like a good deal in the normal menu. We ended up ordering our favorite individual dishes so we could have all we like. The overall prices are reasonable, and the foods are delicious! I highly recommend the lobster noodle as it tasted fresh and delicious that I didn’t have it in other restaurants with the similar price range. And the service is much better than the average Hong Kong restaurants! Besides, it’s popular here so come early and reserve before you go. We reserved at 5 pm and the restaurant became crowded very soon! My family and I had a good time here! Highly recommend!

Pretty authentic Hong Kong dim sum. We came here twice and their dim sum was always on point. The restaurant was always super busy during daytime for dim sum hours. (It got less crowded at dinner though.) Be prepared to wait quite a while during busy hours. There’s always a long line. Once seated, you can choose either from the dim sum cart or write the number on the dim sum flyer to order. They are quite understaffed, so sometimes you cannot get your request fulfilled right away. The dim sum was really delicious and they had a good selection. Our favorite was obviously shrimp dumplings (Har Gao), but the other dishes were also tasty. Their crispy shrimp rice rolls were good, but I personally liked the Fried tofu with XO sauce. Their dessert was also great. The mango pudding was not too sweet. It’s a good dim sum place in the Peninsula.

I had a great experience at this restaurant. The hospitality was excellent, and the place was very clean. We ordered Mongolian beef, vegetable chow mein, and orange chicken. The portion sizes were quite large; I believe each dish is enough for two people. The Mongolian beef was tender and delicious with a nice spicy kick. The orange chicken was fantastic. The vegetable chow mein was good, but I found the noodles to be a bit too firm for my taste.

Nice place with good service, serving Asian food. I loved the decor and relaxed atmosphere inside. We ordered potstickers for starters and those were great. Particularly the soy sauce was tasty 😋. The main course has a lot of scope for improvement. We ordered the Gin Mon chowmein and the kung pao chicken. Portion sizes were great but would be amazing with more flavor.

Love the frozen pastry that we can bake at home. So fresh and my family loves it. We also tried the sticky rice, taste good too. Highly recommend if you miss the Hong Kong pineapple bun and egg tarts.

Support small businesses! Where you can find quality handcrafted food. I loved everything I’d ordered. From dim sum, milk tea, white sauce, marinated pork ribs and chicken feet, baked egg custard, to specialty traditional Hong Konger soup of the day! I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have experience this taste again, I left HK back in 2006. This place tasted like home, my childhood, I wonder if they are from Kwun Tong too! Thank you Hongry Kong for delivering amazing memories to me. I had already placed my second order. Spread the word out, hope you continues with success!

Wanted to try something new and checked out this restaurant for northern Chinese cuisine. We got the scallion pancake with beef, jianbing with fried dough, and mayonnaise shrimp. The scallion pancake with beef was really good with the sauce and the cucumbers, the mayo shrimp had too much flour but the pieces of shrimp were very large, the jianbing was good but the fried dough was so large that it filled us up fast. The staff was super nice, the portions were very big but the flavors could be better.

Authentic and delicious food! The owners are also extremely nice and friendly, highly recommend.

Worst Dumplings Ever - Don't Waste Your Money I really regret ordered 100+ dollars food from this place. They just don't know about making dumplings. The dumplings were awful — the filling was a weird mix of bland ingredients that didn’t taste like anything it should be and not fresh at all. It was as if they didn't put correct ingredients together and without any thought for flavor. We could barely finish one bite before throw them away. To make matters worse, the dishes didn’t even match their names. I ordered “xie ke huang,” supposed to be some really crunchy cake with nice fillings but what I got was completely off, looks like some frozen beans cakes. All the other dishes the texture was terrible. The chili boil fish looks terrible in a huge tin pan, not many pieces floating in a very diluted sauce water. Looks like someone's left over. We ended up throwing away all of the food. Especially after we got some good ones from another place(yuan bao jiao zi) close by. Honestly, it wasn’t even worth trying to salvage. I don’t know what they were thinking, but they clearly have no clue how to make dumplings or other dishes. I would not recommend this place to anyone. If you're looking for decent dumplings, keep looking because this place is a complete fail.

They have a pretty big menu, so one can easily come back and not get tired of the food. Normally restaurants that specialize in dumplings have much smaller menus. Portion size is significantly smaller than Blue Sky Cafe and some traditionally pan-fried dishes are deep fried here like the green onion pancake, but otherwise we like it!

As all the locals know, this restaurant serves good Chinese food in huge portions! Best value restaurant I've ever been to. The containers are always so full, I love it! You can easily feed three hungry adults for $20.

It is one of the best place to purchase to go Chinese food in Foster City. They always have eight different type of dishes to choose from. Most importantly they are price very reasonably and they always stuff as much as possible into the box. The flavor of the dishes are your typical authentic American style Chinese food. If you're looking for gourmet Chinese dishes, this is not the place.

AWESOME NEW hole in the wall asian restaurant. I got the Mala Beef Potato Noodle! Love the flavor so much! Servings for noodles are MASSIVE. Portions are great and the pricing is awesome too. Their Chili Oil on the table is a must try btw.

The beef is super well-marinated and the portion size is great! We tried the knife-cut noodles tonight and absolutely loved them — they’re so fresh and chewy. Maybe next time I will try the 扯面. They really hit a nostalgic spot and made me feel a bit homesick
