New Canton Restaurant
The menu is super easy to read and understand. The food is super delicious and tasty my favorite place in san Carlos. Garlic salmon, calamari plate and salt and pepper fish are amazing.

Dumpling & Dough
The food is SO good! We ordered the hot & sour soup which was just $8.95 and enough for a family! The cucumber salad has the best flavor and is so fresh and crisp! We also ordered the crispy tofu and 10 pieces of beef & onion dumplings! This is going to be my favorite go to spot in San Carlos! This is a clean cozy restaurant AND Phoenix, the best wait staff, is very attentive and helpful! I’ve been at this restaurant at least 4 times now and it is consistently good every time!! Come and give it a try, I know you’ll enjoy the fresh and tasteful food here!!!
Their Xiao long bao soup dumplings were freshly made and pretty delicious, very ginger-y. The wait wasn't too bad, and the inside is pretty nice. The staff was very kind and helpful. It was a bit pricey though, $11 for four dumplings.
Amazing Wok
This place is delicious. Every meal I've gotten here has just been so flavorful. Authentic delicious Chinese food. Panda Express doesn't even come close in taste and quality. Super fast in and out in about 5 minutes with hot Delicious Chinese food. I've been coming here for years and finally decided to leave a review. All around great spot delicious food super nice family run business.
Tasty food and friendly service at Amazing Wok! Those seeking fresh, flavorful dishes and generous portions will be happy to visit this restaurant conveniently open 7/7 from 11am to 9pm. I recently visited this welcoming place whose staff was both prompt and attentive, and started with a nice Hot and Sour soup and some crispy and freshly made appetizers - Gyoza and Spring rolls. I followed up with the best Chicken salad I've ever had, the chicken tender and crispy and the vinaigrette perfectly tangy! This clean and spacious restaurant and its simple and tasty menu is a true find in downtown San Carlos and already does a brisk takeout business. If you're looking for a nice place to enjoy great Chinese food and friendly service, Amazing Wok on Laurel St is the place to go!
Redwood Bistro
Love the chinese pancake (煎饼果子) here. The pumpkin cake (南瓜饼) also tastes good. Price is a little more expensive than I expected. Those dim sum are authentic though. Service can be improved but I guess the character of the owner is very straight.
The food in this restaurant is not only delicious, but the service is also excellent. It is very suitable for friends gatherings or family dinners.
Chef Chen's
Food is good. The man standing out front taking orders is VIOLENTLY AGGRESSIVE AND RUDE!!!! He charges you extra for asking for napkins or sauce or spoons! He gets visibly mad. Dangerous and crazy
Delicious potstickers and great vibes. The owner is awesome too and has always been extremely nice.
I Dumpling
It is a very cozy homemade dumpling place. Their steamed dumplings were delicious and fresh👌 Their Mapo tofu was different from what we usually have. The Tofu tastes hard; maybe they used silk tofu instead of firm tofu ☹️ So many people made an order and picked it up there, too. Indeed very popular place. The restaurant's service and atmosphere were not very good, so we did not feel comfortable.
I think i forgot to clean my front camera before taking these pics but THE FOOD AND EXPERIENCE WERE WAS 1000000/10!!! we got the beijing noodle, soup dumpling, wonton noodles, and cucumber and it was perfect for two 😗😗 the waitress was so considerate and sweet i lowkey want to be friend with her and the whole place is super homey. we were talking about arts and life and love it was a lovely afternoon
Crouching Tiger Restaurant & Bar
Crouching Tiger in Redwood City is a good choice for a big group gathering. They have a ton of spacious tables perfect for family-style dining, and our service was fantastic. The staff was friendly, attentive, and kept our water glasses full throughout the meal. Unfortunately, the food itself was a bit of a mixed bag. The Vegetarian Manchurian house special had a decent sauce, but the Manchurian itself was a bit soggy on the inside. It felt like it had been sitting in sauce for a bit too long. The egg fried rice with BBQ pork was another letdown. The rice was undercooked, and the BBQ pork itself was bland and lacked the smoky sweetness you would expect. The hot iron plate style chicken had so much potential, but the execution fell flat. They put the chicken on top of the crispy rice, which sounds good in theory, but it meant the rice got soggy almost immediately. By the time you got to the rice, it was all mushy. Overall, Crouching Tiger is a good option for a large group with friendly service, but the food needs some work. I'd recommend sticking with simpler dishes and maybe skipping the sizzling plate options.
Nothing special about the place considering the high reviews. The food was average and there wasn't really anything that stood out. You can get this kind of food anywhere. It had a clean but basic interior with two cute tiger statues outside.
Veggie Garden
I've been here quite a few times, and it's my go-to vegetarian spot. With such a wide selection, it is very exciting to read a menu and not have to think about what has meat or question the sauce. Food has great flavor, good texture. Definitely away from the standard "vegetarian = raw veggies" type of restaurant. Yeah, sometime I want a hot soupy noodle with depth in the broth. Or a flavorful stuffed bun that is juicy and hot off the steamer. The price is great for the quality, that's why I'm a loyal customer. I highly recommend this place for delicious food. It's got a very chill hong kong diner/cafe vibe where after you eat, you chat with your friends for an hours or so.
Had high hopes for this place but I was a bit disappointed. The menu is extensive and I had fun picking out some of my favorite dishes. However I ordered sesame chicken and it just tasted like sweet and sour chicken. Didn’t look very appetizing either. The wontons were mentioned to be in chili oil but they were drizzled with a sweet sauce that overpowered the dish. It was giving fusion vibes and not in a good way. Then I had a side salad and all together with rest of my dishes, the restaurant was just… all over the place. I can’t give the cuisine here any real identity, which makes the flavor profiles weak. The beef and broccoli was the best thing but it had the fake meat taste that made it really hard to enjoy. Sauce was tasty though. I want to return and give it another try, but for first impressions, I’d say go in with lower expectations
China Family Anderson Ln
Loved every bit of it. I had the chongquin spicy chicken. It was absolutely the best Chinese dish i have ever had. Will definitely visit again. Only gripe, they dint have kids menu.
Must order their chef’s specials, Chongqing Spicy Chicken, so crispy and savory… the spicy Just right and i guess they have secret peppers … can’t stop eating! Also the Lomei is good not too soggy… that’s they have 3 stores here…
Chinatown North
Loved everything. Husband choose the sizzling honey beef and loved the sweetness. Son had 2 chicken which was lemon chicken and general tso chicken. The lemon was crisp and fresh not soggy at all! The sesame chicken is a great classic as well.
Went to lunch with friends today and had never been to any of this small chain. We met at 1:30 right after the rush. I ordered the Mongolian Beef with Egg drop soup and was very pleasantly surprised with the flavor of the soup and again with the entree. Both had more flavor than I expected. None of us couldnd finish our meals and the waiter was charming and attentive.
Bamboo House Austin
Probably one of the authentic Chinese foods I had in a while in my years here in Austin. Even though I am not a duck aficionado, I did truly enjoy their Peking duck; the skin was crispy, the meat was tender and nicely flavored, the thin pancakes, sauces, shredded green onions and cucumbers were nicely placed in a tray. We also ordered Twice cooked pork, Szechuan Beef, Crispy and Spicy chicken, I personally really liked the chicken; small chunks of lightly battered yet well flavored fried chicken stir fried with dry chilies, it was delicious. Overall, I'm very happy to have found the place and will not hesitate to recommend it to others.
The duck is authentic, must try! It’s sold out pretty fast in weekends. Need to get there before 5 to avoid the long line. Other dishes are great too, very large portions. The mouth watering chicken is so tender and juicy!
China Family Restaurant at Highland
I just love a good hole in the wall food place and that’s what China Family is. I was finally convinced to try this place out; don’t let the exterior push you away! As someone who grew up eating Chinese food this place absolutely blows me away! I haven’t found a perfect 10/10 hot and sour soup in Austin but I think this place is it (not oily and actually spicy). Portions are generous and everything served family style. I’ll be back!!
China family has been our go to Chinese restaurant in Austin since they opened their first location. This location is the best one now. It’s the most authentic Chinese restaurant in Austin. More similar to Chinese food in NYC or California. We love the Sichuan chicken and the Chongqing spicy chicken! So good! ( skip the Chinese-American dishes)
