We went during weekend for lunch. The restaurant was quite empty. The waitress was very friendly and checked on us a few times during the meal. I’d say great service. The food was however not really to my liking. The Chingqing spicy chicken 辣子鸡 was made with chicken wings cut in half. The wings didn’t taste fresh, but preprocessed somewhere. The dish also had chunks of undiscovered sugar clumps. The fish-flavored eggplant 鱼香茄子 was served with huge eggplant pieces, but the flavor was pretty good from the sauce. The cumin ribs 孜然排骨 also didn’t taste fresh, but flavor was good as well. Overall, it was ok. Price was pretty good. Maybe I didn’t order the right dishes, but I probably won’t return in the future.

I’ve been here a few times and the food is pretty consistent. I have tried a few different things and some of my favorites like the chicken wings and cumin spareribs The service is good they are very kind and accommodating. The food is delicious and pretty authentic for San Mateo area.

Everything we ordered was very delicious. Chow mein is very good with what appear to be homemade. West lake soup was solid and tofu seafood clay pot had an addictive sauce.

We have ordered just about every beef noodle soup in the Bay Area and the noodle shop’s is our favorite out of all of them. It’s one of the cheapest, yet they are more generous with the amount of beef + the quality of the soup is superior. The noodles are thick, fat and chewy. We ordered over the phone and the food was prepared quickly and packed well, along with a complimentary cup of red bean soup. The people there were lovely. I will be back soon to try their other dishes!

Food came out hot and fast. Enjoyed the pick 4 item meal. Cantonese Chicken, ribs, green beans and shrimp were great The two people working there were so efficient! Kids enjoyed the cute animal videos playing. Very family and group friendly

Homie food that hits the spot. Lunch special 3 dishes and soup for $32, paid $48 after tax and tip. Rock cod in clay pot delicious, paired with fried pork ribs and green beans

It’s always fun to try something new! The only other time I had this was during a connection at Kunming airport, but it’s a nice change up if you’re in the mood for noodles. I like the fish but the beef and pork are also good. I also liked all broths. It stays hot for quite a while so don’t expect to be able to scarf this down. Pretty much all “locals” in here so you know it’s legit.

Hearty and warm bowl of noodles. The soup comes up while still boiling! The service was fairly quick as well. Some are commenting about the lack of flavour and that's true! But you don't come to a rice noodle place looking for a flavour punch. You're just looking for a light and wholesome bowl of noodles. And that it is! Nothing to complain about. Had a relaxing and good meal.

I really enjoyed this dim sum restaurant! All the dishes we ordered were tasty, fresh, and notably free from MSG, leaving us comfortable and not overly thirsty after the meal—a big plus. Food Highlights: The steamed chicken was tender and flavorful. The dim sum varieties like shumai and Baked BBQ Pork buns were delicious and well-prepared. The vegetables tasted fresh and complemented the other dishes nicely. Service: The service is friendly and responsive once you get their attention, but there are not many staff members circulating, so you might need to approach them for assistance. Still, their warmth and responsiveness made up for this. Atmosphere: The restaurant atmosphere was clean and welcoming, though slightly chilly due to a lack of HVAC heating. Wearing an extra layer of clothing easily solves this minor inconvenience. Overall, a great place for dim sum, especially for those sensitive to MSG or looking for a healthier dining option. Just remember to dress warmly!

Went in this evening with my partner and only ordered three items, first item(steamed pork buns) came in right away but then second item (sweet and sour chicken) took a while and finally the chow main never came. At this point me and my partner had been waiting for almost 40 minutes and not once did the waitress update on the status of the food. Not to mention a party of 4 came in like 25 minutes after us and were being attended and receiving their food on a timely manner. At the hour mark we told the waitress just to give the bill for the two items, Paid and left. There are better options in downtown San Mateo with outstanding customer service, this place ain’t it, stay away.

Went through the line and they only take „tap” credit cards. I like to use my debit card to pay and could not here. So one star for you. Food isn’t that good anyway but to not accept debit is ridiculous

We went here for lunch on a weekday. It was not crowded and food was fresh. Service was great and the location inside the mall was well maintained

It was awful. I wish I would have kept walking towards Marketplace @ Metro Center but was hungry. Watered down Hot & Sour soup, dried out white rice, low budget cuts of chicken. The soup served in a paper container from another store. Food served in white styrafoam to go container. I was dining in, this apparently is how they serve. Any good reviews must be mixed up w/Hot Wok Bistro (Burlingame) which is decent. I don't eat out much, what a HUGE disappointment to waste money like this. The Diet Coke, served in a can (no glass or ice) was by far the best part of this "meal". Never going back, lesson learned.

Ping's Bistro was packed so I came here instead. What a mistake! Hunan Shrimp was surgery sweet and Salt Pepper Pork Chops was all salt and no pepper (and unnaturally pasty white). Rice was old, reheated from days ago. Funny how they serve dishes in to go containers? And also odd that I was only customer on a Sunday night. The table felt like it was going to collapse. Worn out chairs. Lesson learned.

We met friends and 6 of us shared family style meal. My favorites were fried rice with salted fish and chicken, Buddha's delight and combination chow mein. The other items were fine but I like more sauce to noodles especially chow fun. Service was nice and efficient. The pork belly took a while to cook, I think I like a thinner cut but that is my preference. It was flavorful and had nice texture.

We have dined here several times, so we already tried out many different dishes. This place has authentic HK cuisine. The restaurant is medium size. They only have limited indoor seatings, so sometimes the wait times could take rather long, especially during meal times as this restaurant tends to get very crowded. All tables were full and there still many people waiting. The staff are quick, but they’re heavily understaffed. There are times it gots too busy that one staff had to serve more tables than they could handle. The food was really good. We like all the dishes, but the one we prefer most is their rice in clay pot. Those were so tasty, and because of the heat of the clay pot, there’s always crunchy rice at the bottom. That tasted incredible. The bonus is they usually have free desserts at the end of the meal to every customers, but that’s not an official thing. Sometimes, I found out that they didn’t serve dessert. Either they ran out of dessert or they just didn’t feel like it that day. This restaurant also serve HK milk tea, while the one on Ralston Ave doesn’t, even though they are the same chain.
