15 Best Asian Restaurants near San Mateo

“All the food we ordered was so good. The variety menu was kind of impressive, and we loved that 😉 it's not Japanese but more Chinese. Order can made my own devices which is easy!

My understanding is that they are not accepting reservations, but I found a waiting machine when you arrived. It's better to get earlier to check on your waiting list if you want to secure your table. No outside tables for dogs too.
The place was already very crowded - about to be full at 6pm on Friday night.
The customer service level was very good, and the staff was friendly and nice.

I agree that some other people said the food was too salty, and it was indeed too salty. I hope they can put more spices on the table and customize it themselves.
I love the dessert there! They do cook and serve very fresh 😉“

“Ordered delivery for Chicken and Cabbage bowl with extra chicken + green smoothy. It was so DELICIOUS! As a healthy eater and meal prepper I struggle to find healthy eats while traveling. This had the perfect blend of healthy and tasty. I am also glad I went with extra chicken (a single serving wouldn’t have been enough). If you are looking for a protein rich meal I recommend adding on. I would say with the extra chicken serving. This will now be my go-to place for delivery.

Vegetarian options: Tofu option.“

“Had lunch there with few friends that had not seen in few years. One of the few places that serve porridge. N bake beef tongue over rice. Taste is average but the price is reasonable. Serve was really good n friendly. Good place to get together n visit n eat. Will come back again.“

“Food is super fast, just like Hong Kong. The Portuguese fish baked rice is really good. They call it Lisbon fish rice here. We also ordered ox tongue spaghetti, the sauce is just okay, it was supposed to be tomato sauce but it was more like a gravy. I've had better of this one.

If you're craving Hong Kong food, this is a decent choice. There aren't that many on the peninsula.

The service is so fast that they were literally taking the plate out from under me while I was still trying to finish the last bite. At least they didn't pull the spoon out of my hand 😂“

“This restaurant is big on flavor and service! So impressed with the food quality. We enjoyed chicken and corn dumplings, chicken wings with an incredibly delicious sauce, kimchi rice ball, coconut shrimp cooked to perfection and a melt in your mouth sesame cheesecake dessert. All of the sauces served were amazing. We ordered a bottle of Dassai 39 Junmai Daiginjo sake. The 39 was clear and smooth with a complex botanical nose. Delicious! After selecting our bottle of sake, the server presented a tray of glasses from which to choose your favorite. The staff served in a beautiful sake dispenser that cools the sake while not watering it down. The whole experience was top notch. If you are a sake lover you must experience this. If you’re not, you should try it. Best dinner experience ever and it wasn’t over priced.“

“Chicken was very tender & delicious. I loved that they offered okra (came with some shrimp too). Pot stickers were just ok. The kitchen is open late (think she said 12:30am). We ate there about 9:30pm after a flight home, and there were plenty of other tables eating late on a Sunday night. Full bar & beer on tap. Great late night spot & veggie options.

Parking: We got there late, and the parking lot nearby was free at the time (after 8pm?). There's also street parking.“

“Authentic chinese food. We ordered pork dumpling with green chives, shanghai soup dumplings, beef roll pancake, pork potstickers, spicy beef tendon, and fried mashed taro cake. Except the fried mashed taro cake, everything was delicious.

The shell of the taro cake was a bit tough for us to chew, I wish they make it with some other kind of pastry wrap or best yet just oil fry some taro filled buns .“

“The food is very good. We split the tea leave salad and it was very generous size. We also shared the branzino curry which was smaller in size and coconut rice and a bread plate. The servers were very pleasant. We will return. The table was a bit noisy because the other side of the partition was the kitchen. There were few people in the restaurant because we were having an early dinner. I would ask for a different table next time.“

“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!“

“Found this little gem while on a layover at SFO and the food was amazing! I had the Curry Sliced Beef Ramen and it was probably the best I’ve had. The ordering technology threw me off but I got over it quickly, it is 2025. As far as atmosphere…..just a bunch of people quietly eating lunch. I only gave the service 2 stars because it is an online order and someone just deeply it off at the table. Would definitely recommend though.“

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“Always fresh and fantastic! The guys who work there are always friendly and nice, as well!“

“Found out this place has changed to a new Chinese restaurant and decided to give it a try. Authentic Cantonese dishes with great service.

Vegetarian options: Non-meat options available

Parking: Parking throughout the area

Wheelchair accessibility: Stand opened door for easy wheelchair access“

“The fact that it is all gluten free is amazing. I haven’t been able to have a bahn mi since I found out I have celiac. I ordered one today and it was so good. The customer service was great. I love this place and definitely recommend! I will be back to try more of their menu items“

“I picked up a beef curry bowl while on a layover. The flavor and textures were perfect and made the 3-hour layover almost worth it just to get a bowl. I wish there were more of these out and about.

I tried one of the pre-made spicy tuna roles and wasn't impressed.“
