The food is authentic and delicious Chinese food that would no doubt get a tier-1 ranking even in China.
It’s well known that the service in the Chinese really is not good, but we didn’t see that in “Wonderful”. All the serving is just in time, and we were offered to get a brand new dish if we think it’s too salty.
Environment is in traditional Chinese style with some small art pieces. It’s a pleasure to having dinner here.

Definitely a winner. Great food for great prices. Everything was delicious. Service is also top notch- our waitress was 3 steps ahead of us the whole time. Loved it.

Back in May 2025, it was our first time trying out this restaurant. Since it is our first time, we asked the waitress for any recommendations. With her charming and sweet smile, she spent a whole 5 min introducing their menu to us. We tried out a few dishes she recommended and added a few of our own liking. I have to say, I liked her recommendation more than ours.
To list a few that my wife and I love: - The Green Onion Pancake (蔥發大餅) is really, really good. It is a must-order dish. - Their Orange Chicken (橘皮雞) is unlike others we tried before. They use the actual orange skin as key ingredient to cook the chicken. it is so yummy. - The Stir-fried Cabbage (熗炒包心菜) is stir-fried just right, crispy, and not too oily. The dish looks simple, but yet it is hard to make the dish taste really good, and they did it. I have not tasted such good cabbage dish in any other Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area.
The restaurant settings and atmosphere are also nicely decorated and very clean. Even the restroom is clean and free of oily smoke. When we came out of the restaurant, our cloth didn't smell like we had been in a Chinese restaurant.
I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. It is close to SFO airport, so it will be a good restaurant choice before your trip starts or coming back from a long trip. And we will come back for more.

I used to live nearby but moved away years ago…and Wonderful is one of the places I missed most. I was lucky to get to stop in while visiting, and the food is just as tasty (and spicy) as I remember!

Generous portion. Clean atmosphere and tasty dishes.
Terrible taste and it was very salty. The service and owner were rude Then 18% is automatically added, that is outrageous!

The restaurant is a failure. The food is reasonably good but no better than that, not memorable, as such it’s overpriced by about 50%. Service was perfunctory, inattentive and borderline rude. Maybe they don’t like Caucasians eating at their restaurant? The kicker is the mandatory 18% service fee, for bad service. Even worse, they add that fee to the subtotal, thus forcing customers to pay tax on their “service”. Arrogant and rude.

The worst Chinese food I ever experienced. The Kung Pau chicken was suppose to be spicy with delicious flavors where i experienced from other Chinese restaurants i been to. Instead it was sweet and gross!!! Never ever going back to this dump! This place just ruined my Chinese dinner experience! This place is not wonderful, it's terrible!

Wonderful in Millbrae truly lives up to its name. Almost a decade ago, I used to commute between the city and the peninsula, and this spot became my go-to for dinner to beat the traffic. It’s easily one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area.
My top recommendation is the steamed tofu fish dish. It’s huge, super flavorful, and well worth the 20-30 minute wait (since they steam it fresh to order). I also highly recommend their wings and onion pancakes—both are equally delicious.
A definite 5-star experience.
