“I found out about this gem because a coworker told me about it. I am so glad I came here after a work meeting for lunch. It was a delicious lunch. I got the spicy beef noodle soup with extra spice and beef and the beef,lamb and fish dumplings. It was out of this world. The service was friendly and super attentive highly recommend.“

“Yan gon is a family own Burmese restaurant on broadway Burlingame. The owner and the entire staff were extremely friendly , attentive , courteous . helpful, and welcoming . Their dishes are delicious . I have tried their Burmese Style Curry Lamb , Singapore Street noodles, Deep fried Chicken Wings , and Wor Wonton Soup. All four dishes were delicious, but my favorite is the won ton soup . This soup is perfect , it's so healthy and brothy. The broth is so rich that left a long lasting mouthwatering and coating sensation lingering in my tongue. The wontons are so tasty , juicy , and flavorful with the right amount of , I believe was pork , ginger , garlic ,chopped onions , sugar, salt , pepper , and shrimps . . The shrimps were very tastey and fresh . It didn't have that strange scent of ammonia or fishy smell like spoiled shrimps . The restaurant is simple , bright , clean , casual ambience with ample seatings. I have been here many times and got seated right away. No wait . This restaurant is a must try if you have the craving for Burmese food or just want to try something new.“

“The photos look legit. Rating was high and I'm in the mood for some ABC style chow mein (the thick round noodle).

The chicken chow mein was not bad. Tons of wok air. I liked the fact that it has lots of vegetables. Decent size noodle. Only thing is, it's a bit too salty and has a little bit of bitter after taste. 澀味. I suspect it's the soy sauce? Could be the salt. Or overcooked soy sauce. Otherwise, it's pretty good.“

“Cozy, family-owned Chinese restaurant located in old downtown Burlingame. The Mongolian beef and general chicken were both well-seasoned and perfectly cooked. Friendly and efficient service. Not a lot of street parking spots, but there are several parking lots within a 5-minute walk.“

“All the food is fresh, and choosing what's in season makes it even tastier. For larger groups, the big round tables come with the added bonus of individual hot pots built right into the table. It's easier to order dishes when you have a bigger group here ( 3+ people)“

“I have to say this is one of the cleanest Panda Express I have been to. The food here is always served fresh or you can wait for the new batch, which I usually do if I’m craving that dish and I have high patience so I do not mind the wait. Staffs here are very welcoming, well trained and friendly. I have been to this location in fact tons of times. I usually stop by for a bigger plate when I visit, just so I can have three different entrees. I always leave happy and satisfied. I recommend this place for anyone looking for a quick bite or if your on a limited time. I definitely will be back!“

“Mingalaba is a wonderful restaurant - interesting mix of different food types. They do have my favorite spring roll of any restaurant I've ever eaten at - a spring roll (not deep fried) with tempura shrimp wrapped in avocado with a Burmese sauce that is really delicious. Also like the string beans with tofu, the Tea Leaf Salad and the vegetable chow fun - just very delicious. The service is wonderful, the people are nice, not long waits - just a nice place. Very casual - nothing fancy but if you want authentic food that tastes great, this is a wonderful place. I've also found that their take-out is really good too - comes hot, timely and not overly-priced. Strongly recommended.“

“Absolutely delicious! The food was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The skewers were tender, juicy, and packed with that authentic smoky spice that makes BBQ irresistible. The garlic eggplant was soft and fragrant, bursting with umami, and the vermicelli dish added a nice, tangy contrast. Everything was served hot and fresh, and the presentation made it even more appetizing. If you’re craving real, flavorful Chinese BBQ, this place is a must-try!“

“My first time ordering door dash for this restaurant and it did not disappoint!! I ordered 6 dishes total and it was only a little over $100 subtotal, wow, can't get this amount of food anywhere else in the bay area!! All the dishes came piping hot (thanks to the door dash driver) and each container was filled to the brim! I felt like this $100 was well spent, I'm so glad I found this little gem. You guys just earned another loyal returning customers :) please stay in business so I don't have to cook as much!“

“Very solid meal, surprisingly refined service for a small shop.
Szechuan noodle soup was extremely good!
Smashed Cucumber Salad, solid! Seasoning was very well balanced.
Two remaining dishes that were great, but not standouts like the Szechuan Soup.
Beef & corn steamed dumplings were juicy and flavorful.
Pork XLB was well executed as well.

The server was attentive, provided good recommendations, brought a free side dish of well executed cucumber salad to round out the meal as well & boxed leftovers.
Pleasantly surprised by that level of service for a casual weeknights dumpling spot.“

“Just found out Serramonte Center has Yang Guo Fu in the food court 😂 Perfect spot for a hot bowl of malatang on a foggy Daly City lunch break. $14.99/lb with fresh veggies, meats, and three soup bases (beef bone, tomato, spicy dry). Loved the beef & lamb rolls, mushrooms, lotus root, and konjac for a lighter option. Their red oil wontons ($5.99) are freshly made and so tasty—can’t wait to try the dim sum they’re adding soon!“

“We went here for the first time and the food was so GOOD!! The beef noodle took me by surprise!! The soup was rich and the beef is very tender. We went there on a week day so the there's no line waiting and the food was delivered very quickly as well.

We ordered the oyster cake, beef noodle soup and the other noodles. Everything was so good and we will definitely come back again!!! So delicious!!“

“Best Chinese restaurant. If you have not been there, please go! My family and I love their food. Everything is soo delicious and it is good value for money. My favorite dishes are the sweet and sour pork/chicken, Westlake soup, and the fillet of rock cod with pepper salt. It's my go-to comfort food, and I want everyone to know about it! It's so good I also want to keep it my little secret, ha, so selfish of me. :) - no pictures, I would just drool all over them.“

“If you’re local you know where to go (here). I don’t know how this place can afford to keep operating with their portion sizes in this economy but, as a customer, I’m certainly not complaining. Good ole Chinese takeout classics, absolute INSANE portions, decent flavor. The entrance is on the south east side of the corner. Takeout only. If you’re only looking to order items from the hot bar, it’s faster if you walk in. Super super popular on Friday nights. I highly recommend the beef chow fun and eggplants. If you’re ordering online, don’t bother with the platforms—give them a ring and they’ll tell you the exact wait time.“

“Great hole in the wall! Noodles, dumplings, cold apps. All hand made. Pix on wall to help order. They sell frozen dumplings too- great deal and cash only. Credit card ok for the meal. The gentleman there is kind and helpful. You can see them making it right there. Donut place right next to it! Easy parking- big lot.“

“Actually really authentic food. It tastes so good and fresh. Service is great as each meal comes with tea and Super authentic. I enjoy ever since dish I’ve had so far especially the noodles. First time hearing my parents say a place is good lol.“

“The spicy seafood stew is the best! I loved it so much! Delicious and warming on a cold winter's night. Service is super nice and the restaurant was warm and bustling on a Friday night. Great vibes. Can't wait to come back and eat my way through the whole menu. 🤩“

“Awesome! My family enjoyed it“

“The food is tasty and delicious the inside needs a update the service is good it’s not too noisy“

“Great food, good price, and quick service - my sisters and I look at it as an extension of our kitchen �“

“A lovely white tablecloth setting. Great service and delicious food. A lot like Wings in San Jose which is out of business now😭. So yes I love that we found King Chuan Restaurant 😍“

“Came for a dinner. Surprisingly this new one was much better than the old one. Foods were delicious, close to Hong Kong taste. Portions not small. Prices were a bit expensive compared with other cafes. Nice environment. Spacious. Clean. High ceiling. Friendly service. Definitely will be come back to try another foods.“

“Fantastic food with warm service provided by the charming owner herself. The menu is extensive and includes staples of Hubei province. Each dish, especially the fish and prawns, got seals of approval from a Human native who accompanied me there.“

“I travelled from Riverside County to come eat at this restaurant and have heard such great reviews about it from my relatives and friends who live all the way in China! It was worth the drive and we will definitely be back again. Each dish is unique and they also have gluten free options as well as requested options. (My f5 year old is Gluten free).The bamboo and mushroom dish had a hint of sweetness with an undertone of spice, the Chong qing 🌶spicy chicken was mouth watering, along with the eggplant 🍆 dish, dry stir fried fish, and glass noodles with pork! I enjoyed every dish and my kids enjoyed their shrimp fried rice dish and greens as well. Our family is a foodie family and we love ❤️ traveling far and near to try dishes from around the world. The Chef came out and greeted us and was So kind. The staff was very attentive and friendly with our children. I would highly recommend this establishment. Thank you!! 🙏💕😁“

“No nonsense small restaurant catered mostly to takeout. Good pricing and friendly staff. Had a simple bowl of wonton noodle soup. Decent flavor. Fresh wontons amd scallions. Not a lot.of seating for party greater than 4, but otherwise meets expectations“

“The food is absolutely delicious! The staff is friendly and helpful. One of my favorite places to go when in town. Highly recommend.“

“A no-frills place for authentic comfort Chinese (and a few other non-Chinese but still Asian) dishes that is very convenient for those arriving late at SFO airport (they open past midnight). Walking distance to a few hotels or to a bus stop along El Camino Real, which passes several hotels in the area. I ordered the beef rib pho and fried oysters. I was satisfied with my meal and the beef rib was tender and flavorful. If ever I arrive in SF late at night on another trip, I won't hesitate to eat at this restaurant again.“

“Fried chicken wing - Don't underestimate fried chicken wing, you can taste a good one compared to bad ones and this is one of the best I've had. Good garlic flavor and crispy fried flavor.Baked Spaghetti Bolognese - I was surprised how good this is. They use the good cheese and you can smell it. Crispy cheese on top and the sauce flavor is very good as well.Baked pork chop over rice - The sauce is above average. However, the pork chop could use more marinate, garlic and sesame oil. I think the pork chop they use is pork loin. Using more fatty pork will make it more tender and juicy.Portuguese style baked chicken rice - The flavor of the sauce actually was pretty good but I thought it taste a little sourness.All in all, I'm pretty impressed because I didn't expect it's this good.“

“A neighborhood gem serving the usual Chinese takeout fares as well as more authentic dishes. There is something for everyone to enjoy. I personally really like the dan dan noodles, fried rice as well as a number of the chicken and beef entrees. Very reasonable price and generous portions that are great for sharing.“

“Get the recommended specials. They are all insane. Szechuan spicy chicken isn’t mala or “numbing” but is still very good. Walnut shrimp is excellent.

Would pass on the lemon chicken.

Best of all …. The prices are on the mark. Didn’t feel like a rip off.“

“look for the 3 item specials but also the cho chow mein, Mongolian beef and beef noodle soup are all really good. fast service and friendly.“

“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.“

“Love the food here! Best Chinese food you will ever get and for cheap too! Atmosphere could use a bit more work, decorated kinda plain and there's no music, just a TV we can't even hear. My biggest complaint is that they close at random times and often for long periods of time and I have no way of knowing unless I call in beforehand to know what time they close that day. If they don't pick up, they're closed.“

“Best Chinese style bbq in Bay Area. The north Korean style cold noodle is amazing - something you can’t really find in most Korean restaurants in the U.S. this our go to spot for late night cravings. Good value too for Bay Area. Family style service.“

“This area has a lot of great little restaurants and this is one of them. Had the beef brisket soup and the broth was very hearty and the meat basically melted in my mouth. The fresh noodles just topped it all off *chef's kiss*. Service was fairly quick and no hassles. Prices were reasonable, especially for fresh hand made noodles.“

“Vegetable fried dumplings, soy sauce noodles, and green onion pancakes were all incredibly good. Staff was supremely helpful, kind, and personable. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious food and great service! Second time here and my family keeps asking me home back. Staff provides great recommendations and services extremely fast despite having a full house. Definitely one of the better skewer places in the bay!“

“After having an amazing whole fried fish at another Chinese restaurant, I have been looking for the same dish at a nearby restaurant. This one met my expectations. Our mapo tofu and curry mixed veggies were good too. The only item that needed improvement was the white rice which was lumpy and too soft.“

“The best Chinese food my daughter and I have had in a long time. She’s says it’s the best she’s EVER had, and she loves Chinese food. I recommend this place 💯“

“How I just LOVED this restaurant. Me and some family members went here after a boring fishing trip and it made my day! The rice was perfectly cooked, the dishes had large portions enough for the three of us, and the pot stickers were cooked to perfection. The service was great, it was fast and easy! I don't have much more to say about it! The atmosphere had that wonderful Chinese restaurant feel to it with wonderful smells wafting through the air along with the friendly waiters always making you smile.“

“This was one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. I ordered a green union pancake and it was incredible. Pork&shrimp dumplings were the best and beef chow fun was really good. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for chinese food.“

“Delicious food! Friendly service!

We walked over from our hotel at 9pm and were promptly and happily welcomed in.

Our food was delivered quickly after ordering which was great as we were tired from a long day of travel.

The kung pao chicken and garlic noodles were so good- just what we were looking for. Would absolutely order again!

We recommend this spot if you’re in the area and craving delicious Chinese food with friendly service.“

“Charming Chinese restaurant in Millbrae that focuses on the Sichuan cuisine. The Mapo tofu was delicious, and the cold spicy noodles were superb. Beef noodle soup was surprisingly good as well. Fast and efficient service. Interior is small, so not ideal for large parties. Parking can be challenging, as the free parking lot fills up fast and is shared with several other local businesses.“

“Dragon Garden is a small Chinese restaurant with delicious food at very affordable prices. The portions are generous, and it’s definitely a great value. It’s a family-friendly business with a welcoming vibe.

I picked up a lunch special to go, and it came with soup, rice, and my choice of dish. Everything was fresh and tasty!“

“Outstanding food at very good prices. The scallops with mixed vegetables had a great white sauce with broccoli, snap peas, sugar peas, mushrooms, bok choy, zucchini, cabbage, carrot, and celery. Delicious! Shrimp and asparagus with black bean sauce was also very tasty with plenty of shrimp and lots of fresh asparagus. Service was quick and courteous.“

“We discovered Yan's a year ago and have been coming back ever since.

Yan's has a laidback, family-owned feel. The service is friendly, and I feel taken care of when I walk in.

The portions are generous so expect leftovers. The salt and pepper fried pork and the sticky rice cakes for dessert are my favorites every time.“

“quite good and competitive price. Missing Taiwan a lot!!“

“This place is busy, which says a lot for a pre-security location in the International Terminal. It's located on the A-side. If you don't see it, you're probably on the G-side of the international terminal.

Options are simple, and it's easy to order. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food felt fresh and was made quickly. It's a good place to go for a quick meal before you go through security.“

“I passed by here many times and never knew if it was open because the curtains block the interior view. Today I finally have this place a shot on a hungry mindset. It’s like a hole in the wall that serve authentic Chinese dishes at great prices. Also the service was great and the food was very delicious. I definitely will be back to try out other dishes.
