My family has gone to Gau Pong for 25+ years. Will always remember how energetic and kind Jerry was each time entering the back of the store in burlingame. An Judy kept it going in San Mateo, remembering who we were each time we came in. The food has been so good the entire time. It will be missed! Thank you!!

This place is my favored. I visit plenty of restaurants but to this restaurant I go the most. The stuff is very warm and the cooking they serve is so tasty. I never miss an opportunity to have a good meal in this place. I recommend this place with pleasure.

Been going to Gau Poung for many many years. Never had a bad meal there. In fact, when they closed at 1 time for a year or so we NEVER found another Chinese Restaurant that was comparable. LOVE THIS PLACE. Judy is awesome. Can't wait to dine in again

This place is overrated. Their food was oily and not spicy at all. The egg rolls were especially bad

Try the Chinese Chicken Salad...it too will become a favorite dish in your order history!

Drive down from the mountains knowing I will get the best Chinese food in the Bay Area. Hope they will be open for dine in in the world of COVID 19.

The menu and service were beyond my expectations. We surely liked the atmosphere of this restaurant. Amazing place to take my family out for lunch.

Randy Weber

Enjoyed the Gau Poang Fish Fillet luncheon. Wonderfully healthy dish since it is steamed. Comes with a choice of three different sauces (garlic, bean sauce, or house).

Brittany Krolls

This place is worth spending time and money in. Foods good and tasty.

Leland Nichols

This place constantly delivers. They serve excellent food for affordable pricing, there are no long waits even when they are full.

Probably the best Chinese food around - that’s real. I no longer live up there and for the past 8 months have been in So.Cal trying to find a new place even close to this one and every time end up saying “It’s not as good as Gau Poang!” That is all. ✊

I have been living here in San Mateo since 2011 and Gau Poang is my go-to Chinese Resturant. Coming from San Francisco, I am pretty selective in my Chinese Resturants. This one is TOP TIER. The food is delicious and the people are extremely friendly. Judy the owner is always fun to chat with. She always puts a smile on my face when I make my visit. My favorite dish is a Bar B Q Pork Fried Rice. I would substitute it with brown rice. Another dish I recommend is the Cashew Chicken. Dining In & Take Out are both great. We had both our kid's Baptism reception at Gau Poang. I highly recommend this place if you plan to do any special events. Thanks again Gau Poang for being one of our favorites.
