Came here for lunch with my coworker. We actually called ahead because we were on our lunch break. Food was already out when we arrived and they kindly covered our noodle bowls with a plate so it would stay warm. Honestly, was so touched by that. Definitely the small, thoughtful details of a mom and pop business. We ordered black bean noodles and string beans. Both DELICIOUS! Black bean noodles were 9/10!! The sauce was perfect with plenty of meat. It tasted homemade and wasn't sweet (some places make the sauce a bit sweet). I LOVED it. There were sooooo much noodles!! I made 3 meals out of this one dish! I would def come back just for this one dish! String beans were delicious. A nice light vegetable dish to complement the carbs. I'd absolutely come back and try more of their dishes, but I'll always get the black bean noodles! read more

I don't care what anyone else has to say this place is phenomenal. Best Chinese food I've ever had. Everything we ordered was so flavorful and perfect. I live in the east bay but would definitely travel an hour just to eat here again. read more

Chef Wang Restaurant - A round table with various Chinese and Korean dishes, including noodles, broccoli, and fried items, along with drinks like soda and tea. - Chinese Near Me - Millbrae, California

Mediocre Chinese food, surprisingly in a really Asian area. Shrimp chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken were not bad and saved the meal. Hot sour soup was ok. Dan Dan noodles were reeeeally not good. It was a giant pile of stuck together overcooked noodles with this slimy peanut based sauce... nobody was interested in taking that home by end of night. Overall, not very impressed. Not sure we'll be back. read more

This is our go to spot for dan dan mein. We usually order dan dan mein, cham cha soup noodle, and this time salt and pepper fish filet. Dan Dan Mein 4/5: This is a yummy dish but this last time we went the noodles were not as chewy. I am wondering if they are still hand pulled or are they store bought? Still the best place in the area for dan dan mein though imho. Cham cha soup noodle 4/5: This is a good dish to get when you can't decide what to get! You get half of the ja jueng mein and half a spicy seafood soup. Best of both worlds! The ja jeung mein is a bit more savory than the dan dan mein and the soup is nice or have on a cold blustery day. You can go wrong with this dish! Salt and pepper fish filet 4/5: The fish was crispy and just the right amount of salt! Not overly greasy either so yum! The reason it's only 4 vs 5 stars is because it is a bit of a hole in the wall so you just need to embrace it! read more

The only thing we knew ahead of time about Chef Wang's Chinese Restaurant was that it remained open until 10 pm on a Friday when our flights landed later than scheduled at the airport. Most of the Asian places in Millbrae close at 9:00 or 9:30 which didn't work with our delayed arrival. When we showed up, the dining room with approximately ten tables was completely empty. Supposedly, there was an ownership change earlier this year which I read in one of the reviews. The cuisine style was a mix of Mandarin, Hunan, and Szechuan. All of these have typically spicier dishes than what we prefer. The goal was to eat a little bit before turning in so we picked a couple of noodle dishes to share... Seafood Chow Mein and Beef Chow Fun. Both were priced competitively, however that made sense later when the serving sizes were smaller than what we have been accustomed to. The beef dish was much better executed. The flat noodles were cooked properly, and the amount of meat was good. On the other hand, the seafood dish was more like lo mein. I counted only five pieces of seafood on the plate... two shrimp, two scallops, one squid. That was as skimpy as I have experienced for seafood noodles. Overall, Chef Wang did the job of quelling our hunger. The quality and quantity of the two items were worth three stars. read more

The restaurant staff is very nice! They have many options in the menu, and a family combo. I've had many dishes and ordered the family combo. The portions are perfect not big but not small. I love the family combo because we get a lil bit of everything. Everything tastes fresh and seasoned to perfection!! Must try Mongolian beef! read more

I come here almost weekly for the chicken and broccoli--it's consistently fresh, clean, and well made. The food is dependable and always hits the spot. The owner is friendly and always nice to talk with, which makes the experience even better. Solid place for reliable takeout. read more

Decided to give this place a try since I was hungry for Asian food. My other half has been coming here for years and said it pretty decent Chinese/Korean food. Not sure how busy this place gets in the evening. For lunch, it was light. We ordered the black bean noodle and salt and pepper fish filet. Not bad. The quantity was there. No shrinkflation here. The noodle was tasty and hot. The large is definitely hefty. The fish filet was decent. I would say this place is a great place to go if your'e hungry and you need to feed your teenage kids. It's a no thrill spot, but the food is decent for most. read more

We had the black bean noodle, fried chicken wings, and spicy sea food noodle (jjamppong). All were pretty good. I'd suggest allowing the option for the jjamppong to be spicier though.The major draw here though is that the food per $ is really great. Each of those 2 noodle dishes could have fed 2-3 people but at the cost that is below average for a single dish of most other restaurants in the area. The staff were also really nice. Definitely recommend!! read more

I ordered a 2 person dinner think, heh I'll have some left overs for lunch. Was I wrong! Left overs for 3 more meals. It was so good didn't matter having it again. read more

Chef Wang's is a nice little spot serving up delicious Chinese Korean cuisine. We ordered the Seafood Combination, Salt and Pepper Fish, and Jjampong (Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup). The Seafood Combination was deliciously umami with plenty of the wok flavor. It included scallops, sea cucumbers, shrimp, and plenty of choy so definitely a great dish to share. Salt and Pepper Fish was fried nicely and had a beautifully crunchy texture. This peppers were not as spicy, so we added a few sprinkles of white pepper to bring up the heat. A nice cook on it nonetheless. The JJampong portion here is huge and can definitely share between two or three people with plenty of noodles to go around. The soup is adorn with zucchini, cabbage, onions, shrimp, clams, and small slices of pork. The broth is ever so spicy, not too salty. I am used to the broth having more of a seafood flavor, but this one definitely had more of a vegetable broth taste. Service was nice and attentive, but restaurant was a bit more empty as we had arrived mid day. Overall, there was plenty of flavor in the fishes, good portions, and we can't wait to come here again to try other dishes as the menu is quite unique given its combination of cultures. read more

My family and I have been choosing Chef Wang for 10+ years. Food is unbelievably delicious and the family service is great. If you get the chance, absolutely go in person. The restaurant is very authentic and the food, especially when fresh, is unbeatable. If you get it delivered the food will still be hot and tasty. 10/10 and will always be my go-to recommendation. read more

Chow mein was great as was the Hot and sour soup, Mongolian Beef and Kung Pao Chicken. Perfect on a rainy night in SF! Thank you!!! read more

Chef Wang Restaurant - Loved the menus on the mirror in both English and Mandarin! - A man with a long white beard and black jacket is seated at a table in a Chinese-Korean restaurant, giving a thumbs-up and holding a spoonful of noodles. - Chinese Near Me - Millbrae, California

Clean fresh food. Loved it. Service was very friendly without being overly friendly. This is the second time here. Last time I had Mongolian beef. Beef chow mein. Salt and pepper fish. Friend shrimp today I ordered egg roll. Curry chicken. Chicken chow mein. Kung pow tofu. Garlic chicken. These taste very light, clean and Fresh. Flavor is amazing. I took a lot of left overs home but with my teenage boys it was gone. Thank you Chef Wang restaurant.. Fui: On a very positive side note the prices are no where near a burden on you. Thank you. read more

The chicken chow mein tasted very good. Their hot and sour soup is tasty. The employees are always polite.

Food is amazing! I loved the general chicken and their crab puffs. I've been ordering food since 3 years ago and they never disappoint me. The owner is very friendly and they help you choose good food. read more

I have tried a handful of Chinese restaurants in the area and this place is one of the best overall (based on quality, portions & price). I ordered a family dinner for 2. Each dish was fresh and hot. The chow mein was super yummy, not bland at all. The entrees had a good amount of meat and veggies. The soup was good as well. They sent utensils and condiments which is appreciated Sometimes when you order multiple dishes there's one or two that are just kinda meh. That was not the case here, everything was delicious. I could have left off a star because they forgot the potsickers, but i decided not to because i really wasn't missing them as there was already so much food. I will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

One thing I've missed since moving to Seattle this type of Chinese food. For some reason they use flat egg noodles and not round egg noodles there. The chow mein was incredible. The noodles were al dente and perfectly stir fried with strips of char siu pork. The sweetness of the pork combined with the firm noodles and Smokey wok flavor was chefs kiss. The fried rice I wish had a little darker color to it and a bit more flavor. There was a lot of chicken but it wasn't as well incorporated. Most of it was on the bottom of the plate. Portions were HUGE and service was friendly and welcoming. It is located in a tiny strip of store on El Camino in Millbrae in front of some apartments. read more

I love their egg foo young and sizzling rice soup. I am trying to lose weight so I order with no rice but add vegetables. So good and low calorie. I Oder almost every week. My husband has lots of items he likes also. Free delivery read more

Online order: this is the first time I have eaten from Chef Wang. I have been searching high and low for a tomato beef chow mein that tasted similar to my childhood favorite restaurant Hong Kong in SF; which sadly closed years ago. It's amazing how hard it's been. Then comes in Chef Wang. The chow mein was sweet and savory, it gave me childhood flashbacks. The noodles are cooked perfected, wish it had a little bit more beef but that sauce makes up for it, at least for me. So glad to find a place close by that has one of my favorite comfort foods! read more

My family suggested that we try this place for dinner, and to my surprise, it's really decent. Food-wise, it's not "authentic", authentic, but hey, for what it is, it's really solid. Weekday lunch specials, beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken...your standard Chinese food (with American influence). Good, quick service. Parking is an issue since it's right on El Camino. Pretty good spot. read more

I'm all about those hole in the wall gems but this one didn't impress me. First of all, it was a hot day and there was zero air conditioning in the restaurant. So, they were nice enough to bring out an oscillating fan for us but that didn't cut the sweat from coming down my forehead and into my food. Then the food... :( Sizzling rice soup - the sizzle of the rice is always a joy to hear but when the soup is as watered down as it was here, it turned the sizzle into fizzle. :| Jajang Mein - it was ok... :( Szechuan shrimps - the batter was slightly undercooked for some pieces, the batter was too thick, the minuscule shrimp was hidden inside the batter. :) Water Spinach w/garlic - it was good :) Deep fried flounder - everyone seem to enjoy this dish. Crispy, crunchy and fried up :| Tofu - ehh... it tasted like they opened the package up and added chicken broth and corn starch and stir fried it. Basic. :( String beans - it was made with dark soy and felt very heavy Its supposed to be Chinese Korean food but the outside says Hunan... so, I dunno. I'm not a fan of the food... that's it. read more

Just happened to run into this place. We were looking for Chinese-Korean place to grab late Sunday lunch. The place seems to be run by couple on this day. We had a plenty of choice to seat where we wanted. But, parking was a bit challenging. We ordered some Cham-pong, shrimp fried rice, prawn walnut and Mongolian beef. I liked the food because the dishes were not salty. But, the dishes had enough flavor. One person waiter managed to serve 4 tables and handle phone orders. Food was a tad late but the delay was not annoying. The inside was non descriptive with several pages of their specialty dishes pasted on the wall - Korean and English. The total bill was surprisingly lower than expected. A quick cheap lunch? I would recommend the place, especially if you're craving Chinese-Korean dishes. read more

Great place for some hand pulled noodles. I'm not sure if they make it there themselves, but it's really good. They tend to give a good amount of food for the price. The salt and pepper wings and pork chops are excellent. They have the best kimchi. It doesn't have that vinegar sour taste, it's a little sweet, which our family likes. Too bad they don't sell the kimchi though. That staff is super friendly. I have been come here for years. The place could a little updating, but I'm fine with it the way it is. If they update , then prices may go up. read more

For some quick pickup for Chinese food in the san mateo area, this spot does not dissapoint! We ordered for a family dinner for 4 with the black bean noodles, spicy soup noodles, fried chicken wings, and the calamari, and they were all very tasty, I want to say that the black bean noodles was the larger family size and it was well more than enough to feed us all. They are very quick and you are able to pick up the food within 15-20 mins. The food was tasty and made to perfection. I hope to come back again soon to try some of their other dishes! read more

I was looking for a party tray of chow mein for a kids party and came across this restaurant online. They were quick to answer the phone and provide answers for the questions I had. It's a hole in the wall...location is in a bad spot where you'll probably drive past it while on the main road. When I opened the door, no customers and seemed like a slow day. The front desk person told me the prices and took my order down for pick up in a few days. The food was alright...nothing special and a little dry for my taste compared to other local spots. I probably wouldn't order it again but service was good. I might have to come back and try other things. read more

Food was not as expected, my stomach hurt after eating this! Will not recommend. Staff is not the friendliest either.

Not that great Came here because yelp reviews say this is a legit korean-chinese place. Wanted to eat korean ja jiang mien so came here for their "secret" ja jiang noodle item! Unfortunately this place disappoints. Yes, you can tell the ja jiang mien is home made, with large slices of onions. But unfortunately the taste is not that great. Compared to the korean ja jiang mien in kukje supermarket in daly city, the ja jiang mien here is nowhere near as good. That's pretty bad, since the kukje supermarket is a supermarket and not a restaurant :) The renovations inside are ok. Everything is kept clean, but not the newest in terms of decor. There is one person keeping the store, so service can be slow because she is usually busy, especially if she has to disappear inside to the kitchen to help out. Overall, an ok korean-chinese food place. Kind of expected more though, given it's supposed to be the "expert" korean-chinese food place in the area, and supposed to be "one-of-a-kind". read more

Review is for Delivery: I decided to use the Yelp delivery app and do a lunch delivery. It said it would take 45-60 minutes. It took 65 minutes so the person was 5 minutes later than the promised time. The food was good. Liked: - Chicken Chow Mein - Beef Chow Fun - Only a $20 min for delivery So so: - Lunch Menu (Beef + Tofu) A higher rating could have been earned for on time delivery. Also when I tried to get an update on the app, it was unable to. I may give them another try still. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The food here is delicious. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. We usually order, seafood Jjampong spicy noodle, kimchi fried rice, salt-n-pepper chicken wings and pork chops. Their kimchi here is so good. A must try if you're in the neighborhood. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Do not eat at this place. Made my family very sick and everyone started to vomit. I will be reporting to the county for food inspection because I highly doubt this place is up to code. There's also no taste in the food so it was a double negative. Seriously just don't eat here read more
