21 Best Chinese Restaurants in Millbrae

“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.“

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

“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!! 🙏💕😁“

“Solid lunch place! Came because I wanted to try Ox9 but didnt want to drive so far. I tried their traditional hand pulled noodle / beef combo with cucumber salad and lamb skewers. Well worth my $20. You can choose your spice level and pick from a variety of noodles. I went for spicy and wide flat noodles. Probably too much chew for me, but I wasn't mad at it. My husband tried the beef stew with rice noodle and that was probably more to my taste. It reminded me of shin ramen and this chinese mustard green / pickled veggie soup that I like. Pleasantly surprised by everything and would add this place in our rotation of restaurants. Its not fancy but its tasty.“

“Today was my first time trying Chef Wang’s and the food was amazing! My mom usually prefers halal options, so she ordered shrimp fried rice, shrimp chow mein, and sesame shrimp. Recently one of her patients brought food from here to her office, and she loved it so much that she asked where it was from so that’s how we discovered this place.

When we called to place our takeout order, the man on the phone was incredibly kind. The prices were very reasonable, and when I went to pick up the order the woman working there was so sweet. She even added egg rolls on the house, which was such a thoughtful surprise.

The restaurant looked very clean and the tables were set up nicely. It was a little quiet when I went in, which made me a bit sad because it seems like it’s run by a small family. It’s slightly tucked away on the street, but their food truly deserves more attention.

Everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. I’m very picky when it comes to Chinese food, but every dish was delicious. I especially appreciate that they use shrimp instead of giant prawns, shrimp has so much more flavor and better texture in my opinion.

I’m really glad we found this place and I look forward to coming back and continuing to support this local small business!“

“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.“

“味道好！價格合理！好吃！服務好！“

“Really good Chinese BBQ place. All of the bread items we tried were flaky and tasty, highly recommend the brown sugar one. The skewers were all solid, and I appreciated that the beef had a more teriyaki-style flavor, because too much cumin starts to get a bit sameish. In that regard, you should consider getting an order of the lettuce leaves to use as a wrap for the skewers, it's a great palette cleanser and adds some nice texture.

Would love to go again, but it's a bit far from my house and Chinese BBQ isn't something you can do too frequently.“

“Best panda express i ever had! Food was warm very fulfilling. Service is good, people work here are good. Portion is enough, location is great, love the siting. They have clean restroom. What else you need for fast food chain.!!

Not sure why people complaining already. It’s brand new store , hopefully they maintain same consistency and service.“

“Food was good overall, opened pretty early and was serving breakfast menus which was pretty nice. For the breakfast menus sometime you might not seem on the table which it happened just make sure you check out the entrance window for an good breakfast deal“

“If you are looking for that HK style but can't afford the airplane tixs or don't want to travel just to get it. This is the place for you. Came here on Sunday about 30 minutes after opening and 75% of the tables were full.

Their HK Milk tea is very strong and authentic. Not watered down at all. Comes with condensed milk already added. Just need to stir it.

We went for the beef stew noodle soup, Russian Borsch soup and baked pork chop over spaghetti.

Beef stew noodle soup - extremely tender and flavorful. The noodle had the right kind of snap and soup was very good.

Russian Borsch soup - was exactly how we remembered it. Excellent choice.

Baked pork chop over spaghetti- pork chop was meaty, tender, no fatty like a few other place. Great quality meat.

This is a definite place to save as a favorite to get your HK food and HK milk tea fix on.“

“We were disappointed with our previous favorite Sichuan restaurant on our second visit there. We found this Michelin recommended restaurant as a replacement. We were very impressed. The quality was on par with the best restaurants in Asia, which is a rarity in the US. The beautifully photographed menu made item selection easy. The veggies even turned out better than the picture in the menu. They truly deserve all those awards on their wall. We will make it our regular chinese restaurant from now on.
My wife's干煸肥肠was the best she had ever had.“

“粥品美味道地。沙薑雞實在太好吃了。“

“I haven't eat here for quite a while. The dimsum is good compared to alot of other nearby Chinese restaurants. It's not busy at all so food come out super fast. Service is great. Waitress keep checking on us every 15 min. Overall I'm happy with the visit and recommend eating here.“

“Food is really good. And also good value. It’s usually not busy but tonight between the walk in to go orders, third party app and walk ins they were slammed. A good neighborhood spot that can also do banquet style cuisine. I recommend this place especially when the weather turns and you need hot food that tastes great!“

“A northern Chinese restaurant. They have many items with photos on the walls and these are the most popular. I’ve seen every table order by pointing and they have not been disappointed. They also have a cold case for frozen takeout and then a ready to grab and go for specialty items and appetizers. I’ve seen customers from the airport or ready to board a flight at SFO come eat here towing their luggage. And sometimes it can get busy. Staff is very professional. And will help you order and then pack your to go items.“

“Noodleosophy is local Bay Area chain focusing on hand-pulled noodle dishes, and this location in particular can be found in Millbrae's Social Eatery food hall. As part of Social Eatery, patrons can take a seat within the food hall, place their orders on the provided tablet, and a staff member will bring the food an beverages straight to your table.

We decided to get their beef tendon noodle soup and selected the biang biang noodles (you're able to customize the dish to your liking with whatever noodle option you prefer). We also got a side of their pork and shrimp dumplings, because who doesn't love dumplings?

The beef tendon noodle soup was rich and flavorful, while the accompanying noodles were perfectly cooked and chewy - providing a great mouth feel to the dish. The dumplings were delicious as well, and were a nice addition to the meal as a whole.

If you're ever in the Millbrae area and want a one-stop shop for all your dining and beverage needs, then Social Eatery is definitely the place to go and be sure to enjoy some delicious hand-pulled noodles from Noodleosophy while you're at it!“

“This place deserves better reviews. The roasted duck is absolutely tasty and food was all very delicious. The price is so fair for such a big portion. Keep in mind this is Chinese restaurant so it’s totally okay to just raise your hand to tell them what you want. Don’t let the service stop you from trying the food here!“

“Excellent HK style Cafe food. Rare to find this kind of attention and preparation these days. Best Baked Pork Chop over Rice in the SF Bay Area!“

“Chicken Pho You is a small hole in the wall restaurant right along Broadway in Millbrae. Super convenient parking, and it was quite busy during the morning hours!
They have a few breakfast sets to choose from, and they're all very reasonably priced. I ended up getting the satay beef noodle, a classic Cantonese dish. There was a good amount of beef, and it delivered flavor wise!“
