    Green mung bean dessert
    Ada F.

    I found this place through social media and wow, what an amazing authentic hubei restaurant! The inside had very traditional Chinese decorations and seating arrangements. There were many tvs around the restaurant displaying Chinese music videos and news. I came here with my family and friends, one friends who is from Wuhan, so he ordered the food which was amazing! Also, the woman in charge was very inviting and can speak many Chinese dialects - Mandarin, Wuhanwua, and Cantonese! She was so sweet and our toddler loved her. As for the food, all the dishes were phenomenal. My friend ordered the traditional Wuhan dry hot noodles which had a wonderful heavy sesame sauce. The bean skin was unlike anything I've ever had. It had a very nice crispy skin that contrasted well with the sticky rice. The lotus roots were also amazing, I've never had such small lotus roots with a nice tangy vinegar sauce. The twice cooked pork was pretty legit, and spicy! The huge surprise of the night was the beautifully plated pine nut fish which was even carved out too look like a pinecone. The sauce was sweet and the fish was perfectly fried, wonderful ratio of fish to the fried part. The cumin beef bones were very flavor packed with cumin and wonderfully cooked. The pearl meatballs were a hit with my toddler. It was so delectable, soft with a nice crunchy texture from the rice. Lastly, we ordered the fried pumpkin with red bean paste and the mochi was so soft and chewy. The red bean paste wasn't too sweet and it was perfectly crispy on the outside. The literal sweet surprise was the refreshing mung bean soup that the lady served. We were so impressed with the overly generous service and attention to our table with refilling tea and making sure we had bowls and utensils. We can't to come back and try other dishes!

    East lake pine nut fish and Bean Curd
    Veronica L.

    Really friendly owner host/server. Helped us figure out what to order for a very late lunch with two kiddos. Got the bean curd with sticky rice and east lake sour and sweet pine nut fried fish. Kids loved both and it was perfect for our party of 4. Chinese singing shows on the TV and two bathrooms (one for each gender). Will come back to try the hot and sour baby lotus roots.

    This was a very good mom-and-pop restaurant! Our order was ready for pick up within 15 minutes. We got the Eggplant Pinenut Sweet and Sour Fish, Szechuan Eggplant, and Wuhan Hot and Dry Noodles. All of these dishes were easily 10/10. The fish was very delicate, remained crispy by the time we were home, and the sauce was not too overwhelming. It paired very well with the fish and satisfied a craving I never knew I had. The dry noodles had a strong nutty aroma. It was not too salty and was so rich in sesame flavor. It wasn't too greasy and they give a generous portion. It was really addicting! Finally, I was quite surprised by the Szechuan Eggplant. It was everything I wanted in this dish- they truly nailed the flavor. The eggplant remained a bright purple color, and it paired well with the woodear mushrooms. The cashier was very friendly and quick. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, and I hope to be back.

    武汉豆皮

    第一次在湾区吃湖北菜。拿到菜单后给我远在湖北的朋友发了过去。朋友说都是湖北家常菜。看着挺地道的。我点了武汉豆皮,麻婆豆腐(就想吃)还有一个什么小炒菜 忘了。武汉豆皮很好吃。要是豆皮再脆一点就更好了。服务也很好。很友好 很有耐心。停车也不难。这个地方我记住了。特别适合午饭或下班后简单但又不随便的吃一顿。

    Amazing food loved the pearl meatballs and the garlic shoot with pork so good! Mung bean soup was amazing as well. Waitress was super nice. Food was served quickly and nice ambiance as well!

    Fish cakes soup
    Joyce K.

    Came here with my in-laws who are from Hubei province, and had the best meal of our trip to the Bay Area! The owner of the restaurant greeted us and helped us understand the menu. We ended up ordering a bunch of different traditional Hubei dishes, including re gan mian, doupi, and a delicious soup/stew stuffed with fish and meat cakes. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted extremely authentic. Would highly recommend!

    Spicy boiled beef
    Lexi B.

    Absolutely amazing flavors! We had the spicy boiled beef & Wuhan hot noodles, 10/10 recommend.

    Mixed vegetable with lamb
    D L.

    Literally the best restaurant meal I've had in a long time!! Even the mixed veggie dish I ordered without much expectation I really enjoyed! Soy milk in both sweet and salty versions! Will definitely be back for the hot dry noodles especially. I also got the cumin lamb dish and everything I got I enjoyed! Nothing missed the mark and I'm excited to try more dishes.

    Wuhan Bean Skin
    Vicky Y.

    Wasn't sure what to expect as I've never had Hubei food before but holy smokes I'm hooked! Prices were reasonable, owners were kind, and food was flavorful! Will be dragging my friends and family here again :-) Here's what we ordered: Seaweed with Spareribs Soup (4.5/5): this instantly comforts my soul. There's generous amounts of seaweed and spareribs, perfect for sharing. Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet (6/5): usually I don't like fish because of bones but this was boneless and addicting. The outside was coated in sweet and sour sauce, but not overly so that the sweet and sour flavors penetrated my nose and taste buds. It had the perfect crunch and the fish was soft. Must-get!! Wuhan Bean Skin (4.25/5): love a sticky rice dish to balance out the protein! Outside is tofu bean skin and inside is stuffed with sticky rice.

    Fish balls & fish cake & meatballs platter
    Quentin P.

    Came in for late lunch. Interestingly, they are open continuously all day. Had the following dishes: -W1. Wuhan Hot Noodles: just like mamma used to make (if I was from Wuhan), nice chew to noodles, evenly and thinly coated with sesame paste. This is a must order! -46. Stir-fried bacon with dried tofu: tofu is supposed to be a special restaurant made bean curd. Curd is little tough but nice chew/texture. The bacon add a smokeiness that is balanced with the Large Green Onion (大葱, Dàcōng). This is also a must have. The flavor combo is surprisingly nice, subtle but still has a punch. -Crawfish: little spicy, nicely cooked. Real enjoyable to eat. Nice that they give plastic gloves and a trash bowl to peel the tails off the crawfish. Just wish they were shell-less. -Fish balls & fish cakes & meatballs platter: served as a soup, has some green veggies in there too. This is a good, savory, filling dish that makes you satisfied. Not a lot of flavor, just the main ingredients and that is all needed to make this an enjoyable dish. Service was awesome. Very helpful, polite and sweet. The one owner, a lady, was serving us. Ambiance is nice! Place was clean and well decorated. Had some traditional Chinese items on wall and big wall mural of famous Wuhan places. Bathrooms pretty good too. Overall a very nice visit. We really like Hubei food but too bad it's far from us. We'll make time to stop by again when in the area. Will recommend to friends.

    H7. East Lake Eggplant Pine Nuts Fish ($19.95) - 3.5 stars. Nice breading and crunch. Sat dinner 2023-04-22
    Ziyan C.

    I was born in Wuhan, Hubei, and both my parents were raised there and went to college there. When I found out this restaurant existed, I knew I had to bring my mom here. She was pleasantly surprised, enjoyed the food (we all did!), and became WeChat bff's with the owner. RESERVATIONS Made by phone a few weeks in advance for a group of 6, on a Saturday at 6pm. It probably wasn't necessary; they weren't too busy, but did have a couple other large groups. THE COST $136.31 total including tax tip. Very reasonable for 4 adults and 2 toddlers, plus leftovers. THE SERVICE Very friendly. I'm sure it didnt' hurt that my mom and the owner realized they grew up blocks from each other. She even sent us home with an extra dish for free after she found out it was my mom's birthday! THE FOOD 54. Hunan Style Beef ($21.95) - 4 stars We were very impressed how tender the meat was. This is also legit spicy! H2. Steamed Spareribs ($16.95) - 4 stars Another classic Wuhan dish! My mom makes this all the time but I have never had it at a restaurant, so seeing it on a menu was a little mindblowing to me. This was up to par to my mom's cooking, and that's saying a lot! H7. East Lake Eggplant Pine Nuts Fish ($19.95) - 3.5 stars Nice breading and crunch. H3. Ha Kuo Pan Shoots Fried Chinese Bacon ($18.95) - 3 stars Fine, but just not my favorite dish generally. I don't love the bamboo texture and think there are better uses for bacon! W1. Wuhan Hot Noodles ($21.90) - 3.5 stars A hometown favorite! This was good overall, but a little different from the classic street noodle you can get on any corner in Wuhan. The noodles they use are thicker and softer, the sauce a little thinner.

    I like these three dishes very much. They remind me of the food my mother cooked for me. Although I haven't seen her for a long time, it makes me feel at home.

    5 stars - Genuine Northern Chinese Gem in Milbrae…read more I've been searching for years for a spot that does real Northern Chinese food without watering it down for the American palate, and New China absolutely delivers. The owners clearly know their stuff--Shandong style cooking shines through. We started with the pan-fried pork & chive dumplings (煎饺) -- thick, chewy wrappers with perfectly seasoned filling and that ideal crispy bottom. Not the thin-skinned Cantonese style; these are hearty and satisfying, just like what you'd get in the north. Their zha jiang mian (炸酱面) is outstanding--the fermented soybean sauce is rich and deeply flavored, loaded with ground pork, cucumber matchsticks, and bean sprouts. The noodles have that perfect al dente bite. It's the real deal, not the sweet Americanized version. We also got the cumin lamb skewers (孜然羊肉串) -- tender, intensely spiced with cumin, chili flakes, and sesame, grilled over real flame so they have that smoky char. And the sour cabbage stir-fried with glass noodles (酸菜粉丝) was spot-on: tangy, comforting, and full of that signature Northern balance of sour and savory. Excellent appetizers Portions are generous, prices are very reasonable for the quality, and the place has that no-frills, family-run feel that makes you feel like you're eating at someone's home kitchen. Service was friendly and quick, even when busy. If you're tired of the same old General Tso's and orange chicken everywhere, do yourself a favor and come here for authentic Northern Chinese flavors. This is now our go-to spot in Milbrae Highly recommend--will be back often!

Unlike your typical Chinese Restaurant, this place specializes in Northern China style cuisine, so some of the dining experience may feel reversed. For example, they have a mince noodle that is served cold, but a Tofu Skin that is served hot. The English description are a bit off and they have a variety of frozen buns and other food you can buy to-go (they don't serve the buns at the restaurant). For the less adventurous, their spicy tofu, Crispy Sweet and Sour Chicken (breaded and fried crispy) and a dry noodle are good starting point, and for vegetables, their stir fry green beans is good (but best served with some rice). Overall, this place is not bad, but wish their menu was more accurate in the description/content to meet customer's expectations.

Black Pepper beef Ribs- delish! tender pieces with grilled bell peppers and red onion made this dish pair really well with rice. Fried rice with Scallop & egg white- a little light on the seasoning but still a decent fired rice dish which with the beef ribs dish was a match made in heaven. Seafood clay pot- more tofu than seafood but still a tasty and well seasoned clay pot. Also ordered a couple of dim sum plates (Shrimp dumpling & beef Balls). Both were on par with other dim sum locales so nothing negative about their flavors.

The dim sum here was excellent and reminded me of home. Not only did everything taste good but it was served piping hot and came out quickly. The breakdown of our dishes is below: Walnut Shrimp - Hot and plump shrimp that has a bounce in your mouth covered with tangy mayo. We enjoyed the light fry. Dried Scallop Egg White Fried Rice - Fragrant but oily and plenty of flavor. BBQ Pork & Egg Cheong Fun - Soft sheets of rice noodle roll with a generous amount of ingredients. Hargow - Very good with big shrimp and a sesame oil flavor. Shumai - Soft thin skin withmore seafood than pork taste. Chiu Chow dumpling & Beancurd roll were ok but had fresh ingredients. Chicken Feet - I liked the overall flavor but it didn't seep all the way in. Parking is challenging but the taste is well worth a visit!

Asked for a quieter table, she yelled "all table in Chinese restaurants are noisy ". I walked into the adjacent area and pointed to a table (the section was completely empty). She said "Go sit down and wait". I have been to this location for over 25 years and the service has deteriorated over time. For same food, recommend its San Mateo or South San Francisco locations. The service here is worse than those "greasy spoons" in Chinatown. Service: 0 star. It is known for its bbq food and traditional Cantonese cuisine Food: 4 to 5 stars Hope the owners are reading the reviews. Competitors are fierce in Millbrae and some may not accept such bad service and rude attitude.
