Chinese Restaurant

It was Absolutely delicious. I got the Beef and Broccoli with noodles and an egg role. The flavors was definitely there. I haven't tasted Chinese food this good in a minute. You will not be waisting your money.

It's very simple. Nice variety and sound value. The food tasty. No water option unless bottled/no cups or fountain drinks. Plasticware/no stainless. The food itself has always been good, prepared promptly and served hot. Very convenient to get to and thus far, never had any trouble finding parking. They get mostly takeaway from what I observed so here's a menu and you know how to ring in an order. Give them a go and see what you like.

Was very surprised at how good the food was at King Chef. I'm pretty sure everything is made to order, and not just sitting in a pan in the back. My food tasted very fresh, very good, very hot, and plenty of it. General Tso combo with soup is really good. If you love standard Chinese food, be prepared to be very happy with King Chef because it was much better!

So I tried this place because of the reviews and I have mixed feelings about this place that is making me reconsider if I want to go there again. I ordered the Chicken Chow Mein, - This was very good, enjoyed it. I also ordered the hot and sour soup. I have definitely had better. The soup was very thin and watery. I could only spot a few mushroom and a couple of pieces of tofu. The rest was all soup and again it was very thinned out. The next thing we ordered was the sweet and sour chicken. This was truly disappointing. The outside texture of the chicken wasn't golden brown as I am used to. It had an appearance that makes me feel that it was frozen and fried (looked like freezer burn) or it is batched cooked and kept warm. The outside had a "white like" freezer burn appearance. When you bite into it, the batter had separated from the chicken. It resembled crisy fried chicken versus and sweet and sour chicken. There was a gap between the batter and the chicken. So I would definitely not recommend it if this is the what it normally looks like. We did pay to upgrade the fried rice to the lo mein (it was $2.00, but that's pretty good). It tasted ok, but there was a smell when you opened up the box of burnt food. Overall, its not the worst, but I definitely have had in my opinion what I can call fresher and better prepared food.

This seems to be a take out spot but they do have a couple of tables that allow dining in. I enjoyed their Happy Family but switched the sauce from a brown to white. The only reason I can't do five stars is the lack of space for dining in and limited drink selection. This probably won't be an issue if you're local and do take out. But, if you're from out of town be aware.

Best Chinese in the area. We’ve been coming here for years and will only come here. Our favorites are the chicken & broccoli, sweet and sour chicken and the vegetable egg rolls.

I like this place. The noodles are awesome and the dumplings are great! The service is pretty fast as well, but overall it’s a pretty chill spot. Had dinner there and got both the noodles and dumpling, which came out hot and delicious. After that we also had the custard buns which were alright. I especially liked the tomato egg noodles out of everything we got. It’s got yummy food and tasty dumplings, what more can you ask for? dipping them in the vinegar and chilli oil makes it even tastier though.

I ordered the braised beef noodle soup, and it was fantastic in every possible way! 🍜✨ The broth was rich and flavorful from the first sip, beautifully presented, and paired with fresh, perfectly cooked noodles. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and I couldn’t have been happier! 🤤🥢 I walked in during lunchtime and found plenty of seating, but since I was dining solo, I was seated at the front when I actually wanted a bigger booth. 😅 The place filled up quickly, creating a lively atmosphere with nice background music. 🎶 Great service and absolutely delicious food! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A Night at Mr. Bao Kitchen: Where the Dumplings Slay and the Service... Delays! Honey, let me spill the PIPING HOT tea about Mr. Bao Kitchen! Your queen has ARRIVED with the full dish on this dumpling destination! 💅✨ Listen up, darlings! The moment I strutted into this establishment, I was LIVING for their aesthetic – that adorable bao mascot is giving me LIFE! But then... the drama began! First off, those tea cups were serving FILTH! I mean literally, they were DIRTY! Not just "needs a touch-up" dirty, but "do I see someone else's lipstick?" dirty! Mama had to work a quick change and snatch fresh cups from the shelf because the waitstaff was busier than me during Pride month! But we're all works in progress, aren't we dears? They just opened – we'll cut them some contour slack! The hot and sour soup? Honey, it needed some PERSONALITY! Had to pump that vinegar like it was my signature fragrance. But then came those pan-fried buns, and GAWD! They were sickening! Perfectly crisp bottoms (something I can appreciate), with insides juicier than backstage gossip! Though they came out hotter than my summer runway look and nearly BURNED a queen! Where's the warning label, sweetie? The intermission between courses was longer than my wig collection. But those soup dumplings finally sashayed to our table and they did NOT disappoint! Thin skins that didn't break? That's more reliable than some of my backup dancers! And those green onion pancakes arriving last? That's like saving your reveal for after everyone's gone home! But they served FLAKY REALNESS. Crisp, never soggy – just like my humor! Overall, the food was giving me LIFE, but the service needs choreography lessons! Four stars, and that's being generous, darlings! XOXO, Your Culinary Queen 👑

Mr. Bao Kitchen is currently in soft opening in downtown Mountain View, located right next to Sakoon. If you’re a fan of Shanghai-style xiao long bao, I highly recommend giving this place a try. The interior is spacious, clean, and welcoming, with warm and friendly service. One of the highlights is the glass kitchen window, where you can watch the chefs hand-make dumplings on the spot—a great touch that adds to the overall experience. We ordered several dishes, and each one had something to offer: Pork Xiao Long Bao: Six large dumplings per order, filled with rich broth and tender pork. The skin is medium-thin and well-crafted. Compared to similar restaurants in the Mountain View area, this is easily the best xiao long bao I’ve had around here. Crab & Pork Xiao Long Bao: A unique flavor with a nice balance of crab richness without being overpowering. While I personally prefer the simplicity of the pork version, this one is definitely worth trying. Shanghai Sheng Jian Bao: Ever since Top Dumplings closed, we’ve struggled to find a worthy replacement. Although Shanghai Lao Nong Tang in Sunnyvale still offers them, the rest of their menu is less appealing. These sheng jian bao are very similar in flavor to Top Dumplings, with crispy bottoms, juicy filling, and generous size—an excellent surprise. Potstickers: Surprisingly delicious! They’re larger than average, with a juicy filling that includes both meat and greens, giving a well-balanced, fresh flavor. The bottoms are pan-fried to a perfect crisp, and there’s even broth inside—something you rarely find in potstickers. Radish Pastry (not on the menu yet – we were lucky to try a sample): The pastry had wonderfully flaky layers without being greasy, and the filling was flavorful. I truly hope this makes it onto the regular menu soon. Overall, Mr. Bao Kitchen focuses on authentic Shanghai flavors, offering dishes that are not too greasy or overly salty, which makes it a refreshing option for modern palates. With so many handmade noodle and dumpling shops opening in Mountain View, this place stands out. If they can maintain their quality, it has the potential to become a local favorite. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Shanghai cuisine or handmade dumplings—this spot is definitely worth checking out!

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag of flavors. The scallion pancake was decent, but the crust was a tad too thick for my liking. Similarly, the pineapple deep-fried shrimp was alright, but the thick crust left me tasting more flour than shrimp. However, the standout dish was undeniably the braised beef noodle. It was simply amazing—tasty, rich, and the noodles were just perfect. If you’re a noodle lover like me, you’ll definitely want to try it out! Overall, while there were some hits and misses, the braised beef noodle made the visit worthwhile.

A Taiwanese restaurant that serves more than bentos. It's our go to in the peninsula (yes sadly, the whole peninsula) for Taiwanese food as I find the flavors authentic. The pork belly bao and minced pork over rice dishes are spot on. Though it can be a little overwhelming given the size of the menu, I like picking my own dishes so we get some variety, rather than going with the 3 dish combo meal which can be very heavy (lots of fried food). It's a very casual place that's kid friendly and it's nice to walk around on Castro after a meal.

Good food, great service. Love the updates they’ve made to the inside- looks more upscale now. Recommend the crispy chicken in spicy sauce, the green beans, the cubed steak and the scallion pancakes. Dim Sum is also up there.

Met with friend for dim sum, at 1230 it was bustling. We were seated after a few minutes and then the carts started coming from all directions. We must have been hungry because we chose a lot of plates. They brought out a nice variety for every craving. I do not know all the names but were able to point which items we wanted.

This is a great deal if you’re looking to get an individual hotpot with a wide variety of options. The hotpot is $14.99/lb, and they weigh your bowl by the amount of items you get (the broth is not part of the weight). There’s also so many options! Like definitely make sure not to get too many things in the first section, because there’s so many other sections left! They have so many types of meat, meatballs, vegetables, tofu, etc. I got their blood tofu which was quality. It did not taste grainy and was quite smooth and pleasant. In the back, after the payment counter, there’s toppings, the bowls and the spoons are underneath the cart in the fridge-looking cabinet For vegetarians: There’s a lot of vegetable options with this hot pot, but everyone gets a single tong to pick all their items with, so there’s definitely some cross-contamination between the meats and the vegetables. So it depends how strict of a vegetarian you are They have 5 different broth options. I got the classic broth and you can select different spice levels. I selected mild, which was surprisingly spicy to be honest, but I could still eat it (just didn’t expect that level of spice for mild). After you get the hotpot you pay at the front. They give you a plastic ticket number, and then they cook it for you and bring it over. I like that they do that because it’s very convenient. The service was fast. There was a long line to get in, but it moved quickly. So after joining the waitlist we were able to get in line after 15 to 20 minutes. I also didn’t feel like we waited too long to pay or for food to arrive, which was great. The inside is modern and warm. It feels newly renovated and it’s clean. They also accent the restaurant in this orange detail, which is fun. Parking: Downtown Mountain View has plenty of lots, so it’s not hard to find parking.

Delicious place for custom hot pots or dry pots. You collect up all the ingredients you want which is charged by weight. Custom sauce bar is quite tasty as well. Tables are a little small, it gets crowded easily and they start to rush you out during the lunch hour when you're done with your food. They do have to-go containers to take home your soup if you want.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm atmosphere and incredibly friendly service. The staff is attentive and makes you feel right at home. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, each prepared with care and bursting with flavor. Their beef noodle is particularly outstanding—unique and unforgettable! The ambiance is cozy and beautifully designed, making it a perfect spot for a casual gathering with friends or a romantic date. The prices are very reasonable, offering excellent value for the quality. If you’re in the Mountain View area, I highly recommend giving this place a try!

A birthday celebration led us to noodles. We ordered different variations of beef, noodles and spice level. Very tasty and full of texture. We also ordered a fried bun and pork and cabbage dumplings. The servers were nice and welcoming. It is a small restaurant so it filled up quickly. The peanuts were a great bonus to go with the noodles.

Our first time to visit here was on Christmas Day. Susan, the owner, is very welcoming and attentive to all of her customers! We ordered the vegetarian pot stickers and the asparagus filet of sole with a side of rice. Both of these are made from scratch and so delicious! Can't wait to return to try more of the menu.

It’s a great place to have either comfort food (noodle soup) or some strong flavor food! Not sure why there’s not much ppl cuz the quality of food doesn’t change much during my past two time visits. Really appreciate how they try to add as much colorful veggies as possible! Will visit next time for sure:D

Sunshine HK Cafe is a true hidden gem for lovers of Asian cuisine. From the moment you step inside, the warm and attentive service sets the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The staff is incredibly welcoming, quick to offer recommendations, and always ready to ensure your experience is exceptional. The menu boasts an impressive selection of authentic Hong Kongese dishes, featuring everything from classic BBQ pork and fried egg on rice, and soup noodles with a selection of meats (or not.) One standout dish that truly stole the show for me was the crispy tofu in chili sauce—a perfect balance of crunch and heat. Beyond the incredible food, the cozy yet stylish ambiance makes this spot a great choice for both casual dinners and special occasions. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Hong Kong cuisine or simply looking to explore something new, this restaurant delivers an unforgettable experience. If you haven’t been yet, it’s time to add this place to your must-visit list!

My family came here for our first time on New Year's Day for brunch. There's so much to like about this place! This is one of our favorite Hong Kong cafes in the Bay Area. - Attentive service. Nice decor that reminds us of Hong Kong. - Updated holiday hours on website. Easy to find parking right next to restaurant. - Complimentary borscht soup - All the quintessential items on menu: congee, all-day breakfast (a plus!), HK street food/snacks, baked rice/spaghetti (good to have option of white rice or fried rice), sizzling platters, noodle soups, HK cafe beverages - Beef curry and rice was our favorite dish. Flavorful, actually a bit spicy (perfect!) - Mixed grill combo perfect for meat lovers or those with a big appetite! Delicious! Room for improvement: menu in Chinese, a little less sweet on the HK milk tea, more black pepper in black pepper sauce

No extra fees or surcharges. Thank you Yan’s Garden for the honest, inclusive menu pricing and please stay fee-free. We enjoyed the food. Lunch special is a decent deal with a filling portion size. We ordered the Tofu and Black Mushroom a la carte and it was huge, enough for two and a half meals. Salt and Pepper Eggplant appetizer size was also substantial, tasty but somewhat on the salty side. Outdoor seating: There are a handful of four-top tables outside the storefront, shaded by an awning.

Delicious Chinese food in downtown San Carlos! There aren't too many Chinese food options around in San Carlos, so we were glad to find one that tasted pretty authentic. Their braised tofu sizzling plate and fish filet dry pot were tasty and filling. The interior was modern and clean, and service was good. Overall, a great spot to grab a bite.
