    Spicy chicken
    Michael Y.

    Hmm.... Hmm.....,., I've been here five years ago, and it was good. Even taking a look at the pictures from five to eight years ago, it looked much better. But I just returned recently because I remembered that it was really good. But I was a bit disappointed. Perhaps I tried the wrong item, and the seasonal Fall special item looked good. But what we got was a bit small and underwhelming. The pickled vegetables were really good and were the best part!

    Salmon Salad & The Garden Box
    Jazmine V.

    This restaurant was surprisingly good and the service was amazing! My boyfriend and I decided to eat here after trying a generous sample of their Vietnamese Hot Chicken. The sample came with a generous amount of chicken and rice. Although, we opted to try different entrees for lunch, the Vietnamese Hot Chicken was hot and spicy, fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. What I like about their menu is not only do they offer meat options, the menu is also vegetarian/vegan friendly. You can choose to create your own box or choose from one of the many great signature boxes. Our lunch consisted of: * Salmon Salad - came with roasted lemongrass salmon, salad greens, pickled veggies, herbs, and a delicious ginger soy vinaigrette. This order took a little longer because of the salmon being cooked, I didn't mind the wait at all. This salad was delicious! It paired nicely with the dressing and picked veggies. * The Garden Box - came with organic tofu, yellow curry, broccoli, pickled veggies and brown rice. My boyfriend loved this dish! It was light and flavorful, and just enough protein from the tofu! * Lemonade and a Rice Lager which were both refreshing! * Shrimp Fresh Roll (not pictured) - it was light, had a nice bite from the veggies and came with a delicious peanut sauce on the side. The restaurant is moderately quiet with plenty of indoor seating, and is overall clean! Hospitality was top tier! We will definitely be back again and looking forward to trying more dishes!

    Completely gluten free? YES!! This celiac girl is so happy! Menu changes a little seasonally, but there are some items that remain on the menu. Everything I've had has been great (and safe). I've been here and one other location - this is the closest to home - I wish there was one closer to Pacifica. It's great that they also have an airport (SFO) location for gluten free travelers.

    Banh mi
    Eric D.

    - one of the worst banh mi I've had. Bread was very oddly dry; I could barely swallow it. Meat was chewy. Much better banh mi next door at Cherimoya, or even better at The Original Royal Donut (yes, banh mi at donut place). I believe the normal box meals are much better + staff was friendly + Location is good and has outdoor seating

    First timer and it wasn't bad. The food was fresh. Portion size is very good. Lots of bean sprouts but My kids didn't mind. The sauces were delicious. I love that there's an option for everyone. It is located in downtown Burlingame so parking can be a hit or miss depending on the time of day. It's never too busy inside the restaurant but don't let that fool you, the food is good.

    salmon salad and Vietnamese iced coffee
    Angel L.

    The salmon salad was okay. The sauce was savory, tangy, and sweet, which paired nicely with the fish. The Vietnamese iced coffee had a strange rubbing alcohol taste, and there were some alarming hard chunks (beans?) at the bottom of the cup.

Cute and quaint cafe in San Mateo with unique offerings. The thai tea french toast immediately caught my eye because I love thai tea and anything thai flavored in general. While it is presented beautifully, the flavor itself fell flat for me. Thai tea is known to have bold flavor and a strong tea taste. This was really lacking that. My partner got the chicken croffle and he loved it. I tried it and it is definitely something I'd order too! Chicken was nice and crispy and the croffles weren't dry or soggy, but the perfect in between. We liked that it came with both a savory sauce and syrup. I'd definitely return to try other things sometime.

Having said that, Mingalaba is probably the most authentic Asian restaurant I've eaten at so far.

While there are a few highlights, several dishes don't quite justify the premium pricing. The Burmese beef and lamb curries are really good--the meat is consistently tender and the flavors are deep and well-developed. We also really enjoyed the rainbow salad and the paratha with curry sauce, though both felt overpriced for what they are. Other menu items have been disappointing: * Catfish Chowder: This was fairly average and bore a strange resemblance to pea soup. * Walnut Broccoli Chicken: Another mediocre dish that failed to leave an impression.

At first, it was a little disconcerting... the parking lot was largely empty, but then we realized it was late Sunday night (around 845pm). Upon entering, it was really dark. Then you enter the restaurant and turn that corner, and whoa... it's all chabudai-like seating! Basically all private rooms with glass walls, making it open and private at the same time! We reviewed the menu, and very quickly ordered the ankimo to start. As it is a yakitori place, we also ordered some skewers: Akaushi beef (salt/pepper and spicy), the pork belly, the beef tongue, chicken thigh and saba. Kiddo had his usual Tonkatsu ramen. Everything was delicious! I really enjoyed the charcoal taste to everything! And the kiddo gave two thumbs up for his ramen... and as we looked around the other rooms, we noted everyone had a ramen bowl, so that was definitely a big win. Service was attentive. We did not want for anything! It is on the pricier side for skewers, but with the economy the way that it is, it's to be expected.

We ordered quite a bit of food: french fries, seaweed salad, takoyaki, 12 pieces of skewers, and a tonkatsu ramen. All the food was delicious, my favorite was the wagyu beef skewer, bacon wrapped enoki, and king mushroom. I especially love that you can taste the charcoal from the skewers. The items do come out as they are prepared, so the meal can be a staggered wait on times/items, which I don't mind. I only give 4/5 stars because while the service was attentive when it came to removing plates, nobody bothered to come check on us or instructed which skewers would pair best with the condiments on the table - even if it was just spicy, salt, and pepper. I also marked down on our OpenTable reservation that we were celebrating an achievement and it wasn't mentioned.

Fast forward, it's Mom's Day, kids having meals on their own as parents, our celebration is to go somewhere good to have a meal, no lines (didn't make a res), kinda spontaneous. Hanabi fits the bill. Ordered the pork belly ramen ( looked really good at a neighboring table) and the Mayu-ramen, spicy, with kfc chicken (not what you think, means something else), both with a miso base. Wait was reasonable, time to get a table was 30 seconds tops. Other nights it's been jammed but not Mom's Day, just quiet, enjoyable. Both meals were spectacularly reasonable, serving what you'd want, with enough of everything to want to dive in because you were pretty assured you were going to be satisfied. Not fru-fru or bougie, ingredients that make the dish memorable yet feel you are knowledgeable and appreciated. Pork belly was soft, fatty yet lean, cooked well enough to be tender, yet with a little chew (not disintegrating like some bellies), lots of noodles al dente so you appreciate the noodle was not a mushy mass in the bowl like some places. The Mayu came with 3 drumsticks burning hot from the fryer but oh so good because it's served in a separate dish so it doesn't get soggy. The spicy is good enough to keep things interesting with losing its identity (unlike a lot of places). And they give plenty of ramen because it's that good. We keep coming back because they serve no-frills, you-can-bank-on-it ramen that is satisfying, consistent; staff is friendly without being overbearing. It's not a big place, tables and a counter, but they know how to keep diners happy and coming back for more. What more can you ask for? Thanks, Hanabi, will definitely be back!

The first thing I noticed was that there was really not many pieces of ribs, maybe they made the ribs portion smaller to make room for the lap cheung I ordered? The dish description also says that it includes taro, but I didn't have a single piece of taro in my pot. Strangely, although this place seems to share a kitchen with Social Eatery, the rice was cooked much more poorly here, which is obviously a shame for a place specializing in clay pot rice. It seems like the rice had too much water added, so it was a bit overcooked - you couldn't feel the "single grain" mouthfeel texture you should expect from well-cooked, high quality rice. Since the rice was too mushy, it obviously didn't crisp well either. Though it had some small amount of bits stuck to the edges of the metal (not clay!) pot, it was definitely not the super crispy, well browned "faan ziu" I expect, and not at all like the pictures featured in some earlier reviews of this restaurant.
