Best Kung Pao chicken on the Peninsula…read more Tucked away in a small business strip on El Camino in Belmont, Blue Sky Café is easy to miss. I didn't know it existed until a TikTok review said it has everything Panda Express has, only better. They were right: the menu goes well beyond Panda Express, and the quality is far better. I called in a takeout order around 1:00 PM on a Saturday. They quoted 30 minutes, and it was ready in 25. When I went in to pay, the line had grown from three groups to out the door, all 12 or so tables were full, and the register was stacked with to-go orders. Since I was parked in a handicap space, the staff kindly offered to bring my order out to my car when it was ready, which was extremely helpful. The restaurant was very clean and well organized, and the staff were friendly even with a packed house. I ordered the Kung Pao chicken à la carte, no rice, for just over $19 with tax. The chicken was tender, the peanuts plentiful, and every vegetable was cooked perfectly: zucchini, celery, green pepper, and onions that were translucent and sweet. I enjoyed every bite. The little container of chili oil added heat without being too hot, with great flavor. The soy sauce packet was a nice touch, though the dish didn't need it. How it compares: I priced Kung Pao chicken at three places, all before tax. A large Kung Pao chicken takeout box at Panda Express, no rice, is $13.75, but it holds noticeably less than Blue Sky's container. Cheung Hing in Millbrae is $14.95 with rice, in the same size container as Blue Sky. Blue Sky is $17.50 with no rice, so the whole container is chicken, peanuts, and vegetables. The prices are close, but Blue Sky wins on volume and taste, hands down. The TikTok hype is justified. Tips: Order by phone. The online ordering quoted about 70 minutes, while my phone order was ready in 25. Lunch ends at 2 PM, with a break until 4 PM for dinner. Check Google for busy times before you go. I wasn't planning to eat out this month, but the TikTok video pushed me to try it. No regrets. I'll be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommended.

Blue Sky Cafe has been on my list for a while now. It's a small restaurant that's constantly…read morecrowded, so waiting for a table is the standard here. The first time we attempted to eat here, the wait was too long, and we had a flight to catch. We finally got the chance to try it last month and waited over an hour on a Saturday evening. Upon entry, there's a pad on the wall to the left to join the waitlist. They only have two large tables, and the rest are 4 tops. I have seen them combine the smaller tables to make one larger table or crowd a party of 6 to a 4 top. Menus are accessible by a QR code, which you can order directly from. The food looks amazing, with generous portions all around. On our visit, we got: * Fujian Style Egg Tofu with Large Pea Shoots $26.95 - This dish is a bit misleading as there is also mushrooms and what appears to be crab on top of the greens. But it's really the fried egg tofu that's the star of this dish. * Salt and Pepper Pork Chops $16.95 - This is definitely a great bang for the buck! The pork chops are plentiful and have a great flavor. * Pumpkin with Salted Egg $16.95 - It wasn't as salty egg tasting as I had hoped. * Steamed Minced Pork with Salted Egg Clay Pot, Small $17.95 - Clay pots are a novelty for us since we don't get it often. Give yourself extra time as this take longer to prepare. As them to cook it a little longer so you get a really good crispy rice exterior. * Steamed Spare Rib Black Bean Sauce Clay Pot Small $17.95 They are busy with usually 2-3 waiters running around constantly. And it's a tight space, so you'll need to wait outside or in your car since they text you when your table is ready anyway. The restrooms are outside, so you'll need the key. Overall, Blue Sky Cafe has some great eats. We'll consider going again, but either try for lunch or a much earlier dinner to avoid the crowds. They have a ton of takeout orders as well.

I parked in the parking garage near the movie theaters (horray for free 1.5 hours parking!). I arrived on a Friday morning, right around opening and we were seated immediately. We were given an iPad to order and after noticing there were none of our (somewhat niche) favorite dishes, we ordered the Combo for 4 people. The combo came with hot and sour soup and baked BBQ pork buns, along with our choice of additional dishes from a set list. We chose the six-piece soup dumplings, tofu eggplant, Chinese broccoli with beef, beef chow fun, and the Portuguese egg tart. I thought that the hot and sour soup was hot and barely sour, but it was loaded with meat, tofu, and wood ear mushrooms. The BBQ pork buns tasted great and were interesting; it was a mix between a pineapple bun and a BBQ pork bun. The Soup Dumplings were good, but annoying to eat. Because they were steamed in their own foil wrappings, we were not given soup spoons. It was hard to peel them out of their wrappers while still preserving all the juice. The dumplings were very tasty and the wrappers were just the right amount of structural integrity. The tofu eggplant dish was much too sweet for our taste buds, but it wasn't terrible. The Chinese broccoli with beef dish was very good. The beef was velveted very nicely and was very tender. My only complaint would be that the Chinese broccoli was barely cut, so be sure to chew if you get this dish. The beef chow fun was a bit of a let down; it was kind of bland, but it did feature the same large chunks of beef that the Chinese broccoli beef featured. Finally, the Portuguese Egg Tarts were silky and very flaky (though they did have a strange fruit surprise in them). Overall, I would return for their lunch combo. It was great value (in this economy) and the dishes tasted good. The staff was very friendly and promptly filled up our waters.

The server got us sat right away and was friendly. We decide to share a bunch of plates including the pan seared baos, different stuffed rice balls, stuffed scallion pancakes, fried wontons, cucumber salad, purple yam chips, chicken & corn dumplings and Mongolian beef potstickers The pan seared baos and the stuffed scallion pancakes were our absolute favorites. The baos were crispy, rich and juicy. The stuffed scallion pancakes were like tacos with the flakiest and most satisfyingly chewy taco shell. The meat inside was well seasoned and tender. These two dishes in particular are going to be must orders anytime I return. The cheesy kimchi rice balls and purple yam chips were both hits at the table as well. The chips they have made and come out in no time so you can start snacking right away. The rice balls were nice and crispy on the outside than soft and gooey on the inside. They had that bright kimchi flavor. The cucumber salad was good too, the main flavor of them was cilantro so if you don't like cilantro then you should skip it. The fried wontons were standard but satisfying. They did their job. Finally the chicken and corn dumplings and the Mongolian beef dumplings were the weakest of what we ordered. They got mixed reviews from the table. Consensus was that both were pretty bland overall and didn't compare to the other dishes we enjoyed so much. As far as the food there was a lot to love and a couple dishes we'd switch out for something else next time. But we also don't go in expecting to love every dish and are happy to have gotten so many dishes that we do love. Especially those stuffed scallion pancakes, they are the biggest reason this review had to be a 5/5. Also because of the good service and peaceful environment

Decor is trying to be a nicer place than idumpling or redwood bistro.

They weren't kidding when they call themselves a grill Cons: Service will take a while. They seem to be a hit on DoorDash or food delivery since there were more orders getting picked up than in-store customers. Interior seems kinda unmaintained?

When that time had come and gone I called Amazing Wok, gave my name, and asked if my order was close to be delivered. The woman on the phone stated no delivery and hung up on me. So I called back, indicated that I had placed an order, my credit card had been charged and if they could not deliver, asked how my money would be refunded. I was told your food is here, it's ready, you come and get it. I said no, I was not able to do that at this time and again asked how they would refund my order if they could not deliver. Finally another person got on the phone, I was asked to explain the whole scenario again and again was asked to come pick it up. I again stated I was not able to do so and expected my credit card to be refunded if they were not bringing my food. After a bit of back and forth they agreed to deliver but said I had to show proof of my delivery charge for the owner when my food arrived. I said fine, I had their company's order confirmation ready. (How did you get my order to make my food if you didn't have the transaction I placed showing all the details?) The food was delivered a bit later, and the person said they need to take a picture of my email on my phone as proof, which I provided. All this to say, clearly they don't want to deliver anymore and should change their website to reflect that. I won't be using them as an option again.
