Little Chengdu
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.
Royal Feast
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.
Cafe Orchid
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!!
Panda Express
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.
Yuanbao Jiaozi
Got the house special beef noodle soup, beef xlb, chicken corn dumplings in chilli oil, and napa cabbage pork dumplings. The star of the show were the noodles. Beef was tender, soup had a lot of flavor and depth, and noodles were great be cause it absorbed the soup flavor. 9/10 The beef xlb super nice and flavorful. 8/10 The dumplings dough texture was bouncy and how they were wrapped were great. It wasn't the best filling I had in comparison to other spots but a good 7/10. Would come back again for primarily the beef noodle soup
We ordered the pig ear and the cucumber salad with chili oil sauce, and ordered boiled dumplings and some dumpling soup with seaweed. The dumpling dough is very fresh and plump, while the filling is well seasoned and juicy. This was my second visit and it’s always full of local Chinese families dining in, which is a vote of confidence for authenticity and taste. Overall, the food was simple, delicious, and comforting. The bill came out to $60 including tip, it’s a great place to visit if you are craving some dumplings with your friends/family.
Happy Chef
The lunch special is a great deal and it,,,'s so delicious. Decor is basic and simple: it's not a date place but if you're looking for simple good Chinese food at a good price this is hard to beat!
Happy Chef not a 4 star restaurant. It’s a hole in the wall Chinese place that’s not clean. The service is mediocre. I ordered the Generals Chicken with rice for the lunch special for $8.00. It looked and tasted like sweet and sour chicken that was slightly spicer. They used both red chilies and jalapeño in huge pieces. The taste was slightly bland and overly sweet. Lots of oil was on my plate after. No water was offered and I was afraid to ask as the place didn’t look great. I’m all for mediocre cheap Chinese good, but at least make it good. I get Chinese food at least once a week and every time you get soup and some type of appetizer (one egg roll) included. Go elsewhere for your Chinese meal.
Hot Wok Bistro
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!
Little Hunan Restaurant
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.
Toa Yuen Restaurant
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.
Panda Express
I like Panda Express usually but my late visit to this branch was exceptional. Place is very clean food is yummy! And the staff ♥️ amazing! The girl at the night shift on Saturday was very helpful! Thank you
I want to say that I usually never has a business owner right one star review for any business. My name is Gabriel. I went today to panda around 9:45 PM. March 21, 2025 and I was served by older lady when she was working. I asked her to serve me half-and-half and orange chicken and shrimp and since I was waiting for rice, it took a little while once the rice arrived. There is an Asian heavy set Man that picked up my plate and put it the rice. Afterwards, I took it home and I was not going to eat until I was ready to eat it because I was running a little errands so once I got home and Open the bag to warm up my food I noticed that it was the wrong order. It was broccoli and two times of rice and almond shrimps so I win at 10:15 PM to get it corrected as I got there there was I think she was new but she was very good helping me and she apologized and said let me fix it for you. Tell me what you order so I can make your order better or what you originally order so she was fixing it up. She put chow mein and the original items that I asked for earlier And I said instead of you giving me new rice I said can I take the one that was put in wrong since she told me they were going to toss the plate that I brought that was not mine and the garbage and she said yes you may you can take the whole thing if you like since we’re gonna throw it away anyways you can take it if you like Once she fix my plate that I originally ordered for she turned around and asked the Asian heavyset men which we all know because I have a lot of friends that go to that restaurant that he is a very mean guy to deal with she asked him. Can he just take it home since we’re gonna throw away he just grabbed the food from her hands, snatch it out her hands and tossed it in the garbage And I told him by the way my small cup of shrimp which it was I ordered a bigger plate so I had a little cup of shrimp in the in the bag he tossed it so she just made her give me another one but what a mean face said no I’d rather throw it away then to give it to You Like I said I’m not the one to make bad reviews for restaurants for for businesses being a business myself the manager, Brandon is amazing guy. They’re very amazing guy. He’s always helping everybody and putting a smile and just everybody is just delightful people, but this guy, the act the fact that they counter their shrimp when they were they giving you food to save their food and not wasting food by him, snatching the bag from the cashier and just throw it in the garbage just because I told him they gave me the wrong plate. It was on call for this guy. Don’t belong to work in a place like this. He needs to work wherever he feels better and wherever they except assholes like him to work
Yat Sing Restaurant
I moved to the Bay Area about 2 years ago and found it difficult to find a really good restaurant like Yat Sing. After moving to Woodside about 1 year ago, my husband and I finally decided to give it a try and the food was amazing! Since then we have noticed the food quality started to decline but not enough to write a review nor stop going there but this evening I have had enough! First the price charged on 16Jan2024, was different than the price on the menu which I was told would be fixed last year. When I inquired about the price difference, the lady at the front desk simply said “that’s the price, we are printing new menus”. Since I have been a customer since last year, that seems like a long time to not have menus correctly reflect the pricing and gives me the feeling that they charge what they feel like as I have no transparency in advance and this has been an issue since last year. I understand things are changing and prices may be updated more frequently in today’s world but they need to offer digital menus instead and print only a few for customers that are not digital savvy. Anyway, I ordered take out that included a vegetarian egg rolls and shrimp noodle soup which cost $25.82. The vegetarian egg roll was greasy and uneditable! When I looked at the container to see why grease was dripping down my fingers I was surprised to see the egg roll was literally swimming in grease (see attached picture). I also ordered the shrimp noodle soup which was flavorless and had about 5 shrimp in total. My total cost for these two items was $25.82 and not worth the price at all. I will not return. Not sure if they have changed chefs but they need to go back to their original quality of food which has been lacking for months. And they need to address the price transparency issues mentioned earlier. I wish them well but won’t be back.
Pretty mid menu and not much food for $15. Debatable cleanliness (flies, sticky table), but good service, and it's a vibe: it's of traditional cheap Hong Kong/Canto decor and smell and food. But spread out in the big American space lol so to put it nicely, it's a vibe lol The wontons are also on the fatty tasting side, which is not my preference
Panda Express
Always get the side of Super Greens, appreciated how fresh it was on my visit. Personally love the Mushroom Chicken for Entrees, though I've always found the seasoning to be a little heavy handed on salt. Evens out when mixed with the stir fried veggies from the Super Greens side.
Got another panda express in redwood coty as I had some work around there. This time I tried their pot sticker along with the regular plate. It was good with the sauce they had. Place is little small as compared to other PE but yeah they give little more food than other stores
