Used to go the the San Mateo Noodleosophy when it was open but this location is quite nice and spacious. I should really come here more often than I do!

The curry sauce noodle with the fried chicken cutlet is the highlight of the noodle menu. It has a bit of spice, coconuty flavor, and is mildly sweet. Reminds me of the curry sauce you get in Burmese food when you order roti. It's topped with some bok choy, cilantro, and green onion. Very decadent and delicious. Cutlet is nicely fried and pairs well with the sauce. The noodles have good chew.

When ordering takeout, everything is packed nicely - noodles and sauce are packed separately, fried cutlet comes in a ventilated box. Eating a whole noodle bowl is very filling.

I also like the basil vegetarian noodles and the beef stew noodle. Hope to come back to try the clay pot rice!

The beef noodle soup was hands down the best I’ve ever had! The broth was unbelievably rich and flavorful, you could tell it had been simmered for hours to reach that perfect depth of taste. The noodles had just the right texture, and the beef was tender and melt-in-your-mouth good. I honestly could eat there every week and never get tired of it. On top of that, their cotton candy grape drink was such a unique and refreshing treat — sweet, fragrant, and perfectly balanced. It’s definitely one of those places that leaves you craving to come back again and again!

Love this location when I feel like having some clay pot dish. Normally we come here and we ordered various dishes and we share among our group. What honey liked the most about there’s clay pot dishes were the crunchy bottom of the rice. Nice and crispy and crunchy. We order: clay pot Lap Mei (a little bit fatty, clay pot Chicken & Mushroom (my favorite), clay pot Grilled Unagi ( my favorite), clay pot Chicken feet and Pork Ribs ( my husband favorite), clay pot Pork Patty ( not bad) and Beef Stew Noodles with wide noodles and ramen noodles ( yummy). We have also tried their Milk Tea Taro Milk( too thick for me) and taro and boba ( wasn’t as thick). Would we go back.. We have been back numerous times already. 😂

First time eating here, food weren't bad, good service. Although they serve Taiwanese style chinese food, We didn't see any Asian staff in this restaurant. We thought we walked into a Mexican restaurant. It was a bit of surprised to see that.

Social Eatery food hall is a gem located in Millbrae offering a variety of Chinese cuisine all in one easy-to-reach location. Social Eatery has a parking lot for patrons, which makes dining in easy. Upon entering the food hall, patrons will be guided to a table, and provided with a tablet on which they can place their orders from a variety of establishments contained within Social Eatery. After the order is placed, a staff member will bring the food and beverages straight to your table! When it's time to check out, you can either do so via their app/online or request a staff member to come and help you close out your bill.

Social Eatery has the following 3 restaurants within: (1) Noodleosophy - a local Bay Area chain focusing on hand-pulled noodle dishes; (2) Rice Monster - specializing in Catonese claypot rice; and (3) Grapeholic - a tea shop with grape-centered drinks to round it out.

We came here on a Saturday afternoon looking for a one-stop shop for our weekend lunch and decided to try something from each one of the establishments - after all, isn't that the beauty of food halls? We got the beef tendon noodle soup and prok and shrimp dumplings from Noodleosophy, the cha siu and steamed egg claypot rice from Rice Monster, and finished up our meal with two drinks from Grapeholic - cotton candy grape slush, and grape and lemon tea.

(1) Noodleosophy - 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.

(2) Rice Monster - the cha siu and steamed egg clay pot rice was in a single word - satisfying. The salty-slightly-sweet cha siu paired well with the mild flavors of the egg, and the salty soy sauce you pour over the rice. I will say the rice could have been a little more scorched to provide the accompanying crunch that you expect from this dish; however, if you're really craving claypot rice and are in the area, then Rice Monster will definitely help satisfy that craving for you.

(3) Grapeholic - the cotton candy grape slush was amazing - true to it's name it captured the cotton candy grape flavor in a delicious slush form that was both sweet and refreshing. The grape and lemon tea was also good; however, the lemon flavor was a bit overpowering and made it difficult to truly enjoy the grape that was in the drink. If you want grape to be the star of the show, then I'd recommend getting one of their grape-centered drinks instead.

If you're ever in the Millbrae area and are looking for a great lunch spot, then Social Eatery has to be the next place on your list!
