23 Best Chinese Restaurants in Millbrae

“味道好！價格合理！好吃！服務好！“

“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!! 🙏💕😁“

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

“It was my first time visiting here, and I came with my friend. We both had the Wuhan noodles the lady working there recommended us, and it was so delicious! She was also very kind and helped us by explaining the way to eat it. The atmosphere was nice with a warm atmosphere and had mostly families dining in.“

“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.“

“This is a classic Hong Kong style cafe or “tea restaurant” (茶餐廳), a relative unique style of Chinese cuisine invented in Hong Kong by fusing western cafe and Chinese style cooking. If you ever want to find such an eatery in the San Francisco Bay Area without flying 8000 miles to Hong Kong, this is your place. The food, and especially the service are absolutely top notch. Perhaps even more precious is the community vibe the restaurant staff manage to create. From the moment you step into the restaurant to the moment you leave you will meet authentically courteous, efficient and caring service from Selena, Sunny, and others. The combination of a family restaurant and high quality cooking plus pleasant ambience will likely make this restaurant a highly desirable gathering place going forward for local residents, as well as visitors from afar, for the unique east-meet-west Hong Kong tea restaurant experience. A remarkable place for lunch, afternoon tea or dinner.“

“You go here for the food, not so much the atmosphere. I had the pan fried noodles with bean sprouts and soy sauce, as well as the egg tofu with pea sprouts.

Both were so yummy! Big portions, well-seasoned and skillfully cooked. Would def come again.“

“Love this place. I have been coming here for over 20 years. the salt and pepper chicken wings/pork chops are awesome. the spicy seafood with fresh hand pull noodles are the best. The family also love the scrambled eggs and shrimp. Everything is really good, the only thing I don't like from them is the fried salt and pepper fish. That could use some work, but I would recommend everything else. The service can be a little slower when they are busy with take out orders. It's kinda of typical hole in the wall chinese restaurant. Its is dated, so don't expect anything fancy. The other thing that always keeps me coming back is the kimchi!! It's fresh made in house. It's not sour or to vinegary. They don't sell it though, it's just a free appetizer. Oh which reminds me, the kimchi fried rice is excellent as well.“

“Got the hand pulled noodle; wide and spicy. Noodles were perfect! Spicy is “American spicy” so not as hot as what you’d get in mainland China but flavor was good. I think it could have a bit more sesame tho

Solid dish. Good price overall. I want to try the lamb chops next time“

“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.“

“粥品美味道地。沙薑雞實在太好吃了。“

“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.“

“First time trying Laka! I was really craving Hainan chicken, so I ordered half a roasted pork and half a Hainan chicken to go. Overall, the food was really good, and I’ll definitely be back! The gentleman who carved the roasted pork was also very kind, which I appreciated.

Just a heads-up for first-timers: the minimum order for roasted pork is half a pound, so you can’t order just a quarter pound. ( in case u try to order for 1 )

My only real complaint is the ginger sauce. For half a chicken, they only provided one container, which I felt wasn’t enough. When I asked for an extra one, I was told it would cost $1. Honestly, I think 50 cents would be more reasonable for a small container of sauce, especially when you’re already ordering a meal to go. I had also left a tip on my takeout order, so being charged another dollar for extra ginger sauce felt a little disappointing.

The food is delicious, and the service was kind for the butcher, the lady could have been more kinder but I wish they were a little more generous with the ginger sauce or included at least two containers with half a chicken. It’s a small detail, but it would make the takeout experience so much better! Total cost $32 takeout“

“Really enjoyed Little Chengdu. We had the spicy pot fish and Sichuan spicy beef, and the spicy, numbing flavor of the Sichuan cuisine was definitely on point. The spice level felt authentic rather than toned down.

The spicy pot fish was especially good. The fish was grilled before going into the pot, which gave it a really nice flavor, and the vegetables soaked up the broth and spices really well. The lotus root was probably my favorite part.

The Sichuan spicy beef leaned more toward that numbing mala heat, in a very good way. We also got the sour berry drink, which was refreshing and paired really well with all the spicy food.

Staff were friendly too. Would definitely come back when craving properly spicy Sichuan food.“

“I probably had the best plate of Panda Express for a delivery here!

I ordered closer to closing time so I didn’t expect much! To my delight, the greens were perfectly cooked and even after 40 minutes due to delivery, the honey walnut shrimp retained its slightly crispy and tender texture!

I think the proportions were generous and filling! It had been years since I indulged in some Panda Express and i thoroughly enjoyed my experience with this location!

I called to share the positive feedback so much appreciation for Kapil who’s killing it in the back, cooking all the food and Kin for getting the orders out on time and pick up the call!“

“The food was good. The portions are huge definetly intended for sharing. I was impressed with the service. When I asked if a menu item was vegetarian the waiter said it was not and directed me to a similar dish that was. He also told me he would change out the oil used in the kitchen, since meat had been cooked in it, even though I didn't ask or expect that level of service.“

“My family and relatives came to this restaurant. Because we were a big group, we made a RSVP ahead of time and glad we did as this place gets packed quick! The dim sum was great, and the staff was friendly and responsive. I wouldn't mind coming back here in the future.“

“I have tried this restaurant when they first opened and visited few times after that, enjoyed it every time.

We visited again today with our hiking group with someone who knows how to ordered with a group setting, we ordered half Hainan Chicken, half House Special Duck, two bowls of Hainan Steamed Rice, two bowls of Rice Noodles in Chicken Broth and one of their House Special Fried Tofu.

There was five of us in our group and we have left over enough for one more person to take home.

The price was beyond reasonable, it costed less than going to Fast Food chains.

Everything tasted fresh & delicious, especially their Hainan Chicken, I would say is the BEST in the Bay Area.

Service was attentive, the food came out fast, they were 90% full when we were there.

The dining area is clean even the restroom, keep in mind this is a family operated establishment, but is kept in a very professional manner.

Since retiring from owned & operated restaurants my whole life, I felt compelled to give them a Review that they so well deserved.

Keep up the good works and you will arrive to be the very Best.
My Best Wishes to you!“

“Five of us came to try the $88 set menu for 4-6 people. (I initially thought it was $88 per person and was overly disappointed, but found out later it was $88 for all of us ?).We ended up ordering 3 other dishes, which brought our total closer to $200, but it was not bad. Everyone enjoyed the food.“

“A solid local spot in Millbrae! We were staying near SFO for the Super Bowl, and needed a quick option after being in the city. Food was quick to prepare, and the portions were also plentiful. The food was also quite affordable for the price point. We recommend!“

“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!“

“The BBQ pork wonton soup was a lot bigger than expected; they give you twice the amount of noodles than a regular place. The broth was not that good, but the wontons were big and meaty. The BBQ pork had more fat than I would prefer and comes in a separate plate. Service is typical (crude) Chinese. Not bad.“

“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!“
