“Was looking for a new place to try with a friend today and stumbled upon Prime BBQ. Really nice joint in a quiet part of San Mateo, with some surprisingly tasty skewers at fair prices! Design of the restaurant is nice, and presentation of the food was great. My friend really liked the Chicken skewers, but I personally loved the lamb and beef skewers!! They also have proper bar inside for those who drink :) Would recommend checking out and having a fun night out“
“I went to this place a couple days ago I had their Beef pho here and its good the only thing is that I feel like they need to improve on is the pho broth and service. The pho broth seems like it needed more flavor and more fish sauce. And they did not give me a soup spoon until much later but other than that its a decent place to get a nice bowl of pho. And the Ambiance is so calming overall a 4/5“
“From the service, to wait time, to food. This place is top notch. Best dumplings I’ve had in the Bay Area and yes I have tried a lot. I’m not getting paid for this review although I wish I was. Really good dumplings, try them out and get the chili “
“I love this place as it offers one of the best Selections of Sizzling plates.You may choose your own type of meat (chicken-beef-fish with a side of veggies) or add on an appetizer.I also loved their hawaaiian plate with BBQ galbi,rice and macaroni.My ultimate favorite here is Beef Kimchi sizzling plate, calamari,walnut shrimp and crispy chicken,mango green tea,basic crispy french fries, etc.But im not a fan of potstickers though.Plus this place is super clean,with a clean bathroom as well.Servers are very attentive and approachable.I will definitely try other snacks and dish next time“
“Came here for my birthday dinner. Parking was easy since we had an early reservation. We were seated promptly. Service was a bit hard to flag down—the partitions that made each table feel like a private dining experience was a double edged sword. But once we did manage to flag someone down, they were very nice.They put all our sushi on a boat, balled up wasabi on either end, and stuck birthday candles into them. It was a nice touch.We ordered fried oysters, agedashi tofu, chicken karaage, and seaweed salad for appetizers. Our favorite item was the spicy citrus scallop roll, we would order that again.“
“This place is a hidden gem! We were actually going to the restaurant just next to it, but found this Japanese restaurant and decided to go in. The food was perfect, portion sized were good and they did not hold back on putting salmon in the dishes. We will definitely be back.“
“Solid spot for 生煎包, it's got the proper browned crust that maintains it's crispy texture while you wait for the soup to cool down. Always ideal to pop it open from the top, drop a bit of vinegar and chili inside, and it slowly in a few minutesSoup wise, they seem to lean toward northern tastes, so for typical dishes like 擔擔麵, expect an equal tartness to the spiciness. The spicy beef was pretty standard though, can't go wrong with the classics.“
“Came here for a dine-in dinner for my birthday celebration on a Friday night. It was also my first time here and glad to try its malaban (without soup) & malatang (with soup). There were quite some customers and we waited a bit for our orders to be served. The staff/store owner seemed pretty friendly and welcoming. We had a fun time there, although the medium spicy was really spicy for my friends, so I'd say go for non-spicy soup base or flavor if you're not great at handling authentic Chinese spice.“
“Gotta love small places like this where the owner is on deck and takes pride in his restaurant. Value to price was awesome. Bunch of Stanford students drive out here probably for this reason. The lunch sashimi bento box was outstanding. Cheers and ty for having “
