Walked about a block and a half from the hotel and ended up here. Glad we did. Doesnt look like much from the outside and the inside is pretty simple and small. Not fancy at all. Food has big flavor though and the portions were decent. I got the Godfather hand rolled noodles. Wide noodles with the minced pork on top and green onion. Good chew and a little heat. My wife got the brocolli beef with white rice. Beef was tender and the broccoli wasnt mushy. We both had a soda and they kept the hot tea coming. Server I think was one of the owners. Super helpful and friendly. I told her it was our first time and she explained the menu so we could actually pick something. This is one of those hidden gems. True hole in the wall. Theyve got Michelin recognition on the wall which is pretty impressive for a little spot like this. Good food and great service. What more can you ask for. Just a heads up they dont take cash and they add a service charge instead of tips.

We ordered: - La Zi Ji: my friend, a La Zi Ji lover and expert, did not approve, and neither did I. It wasn't crispy on the outside, lacked that signature numbing sensation, and was barely spicy. - Smork: Very fragrant, but a bit too porky for my personal preference. - Green Onion Pancake: very very thick and soft - Godfather Noodles: perfectly cooked al dente, wish it was saucier It's worth a visit for the atmosphere, but the flavors are a bit underwhelming.

So I recommend going for dinner. The must-get is the sweet and sour pork. It's perfectly evenly fried, super chewy and crispy outer layer, and a thin pork layer. The sauce is sweet and tangy. Another delicious dish is the BBQ green beans. The mushrooms are super juicy and the cumin goes surprisingly well with the green beans. Their other dishes that I like are: beef fried rice and the dumplings! They also have a frozen section for frozen buns and frozen dumplings. Overall I would come back!

One of the biggest surprises was the sweet and sour pork, which ended up being one of my favorite dishes of the meal. I usually load up on carbs, but this visit was all about the protein and there was no shortage of options. The portion sizes are absolutely massive, which always wins me over. They have just about every organ meat you could ask for, and I liked that all the sides and meats are displayed clearly if you want to order by the pound instead of from the menu. Service was fast and friendly. Now I just need to recruit a bigger group so we can come back, order family style, and work our way through more of the menu.

Surprised on the number of 1 star reviews but after reading it was all service driven as the food…read moredefinitely deserves more than 1 star. 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. Overall service was fine; given it was the lunch hour but all the food came out relatively quickly and would definitely have a return visit.

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!

One porridge can feed three people. Food is decent bay area Chinese restaurant quality. Wouldn't wait more than 15min for it though. Enjoyed their Cantonese style porridge as that was recommended by our waitress. We enjoyed the eggplant dish as well, but it was on the more oily side. Pretty large and spacious restaurant. Service is very quick. Parking can be difficult during rush hours, so plan for that in advance.

Nothing special. It's just overpriced Chinese food in the area with small portions and big prices…read more There wasn't anything memorable or worth the premium. Parking was absolutely chaotic, making the experience frustrating before we even got inside. During dinner, the food took a long time to arrive, and the waiter completely missed our order for the combination cold dishes. The restaurant is also very loud, with tables packed closely together. You can easily hear conversations from the next table, which takes away from the dining experience. Overall, the food, service, atmosphere, and value didn't justify the price. Unfortunately, this was a one-time visit for us, and we won't be returning.

I've been coming to Cheung Hing in Millbrae for years, and it's still one of my go-to spots when…read moreI'm craving Cantonese BBQ. I usually come here for the roast meats, and they've been pretty consistent over the years. The flavor is traditional, portions are decent, and it reminds me more of the kind of food you'd actually get in Hong Kong or Guangdong rather than something overly Americanized. The place is nothing fancy and the service can be pretty straightforward, but honestly that's part of the experience. I'm mainly here for the food, and it usually hits the spot. There are a lot more Chinese restaurants around Millbrae now compared to years ago, but Cheung Hing is still one of those places I keep coming back to.

They were about to close in 20 minutes but they still let us in, which I appreciated! I didn't know that this place is a chain! We ordered the BBQ Pork rice plate and wonton noodle soup. Pretty standard Cantonese comfort food/dishes. The portions were big and the food was good. They were closing so we rushed to finish our food. The service was good despite it being late. The place looks a bit dated and maybe because it was the end of the day, it wasn't super clean. But, in a pinch if we are craving for some Cantonese food late at night near SFO, we would come back again.

It was not easy to find near by parking ( caused we arrived later like 12 noon ) . We found street parking a few blocks away and walked to The Kitchen . The table and pig were ready as scheduled. We have ordered a few favorite dishes as mixed mushrooms stir fried chicken filet , Fish mew chicken soup , Fuji seafood fried rice with gravy . And I took two dim sum from the cart ( stewed chicken feet in Abalone sauce and steamed beef rice roll) . All the food was delicious. The suckling pig was tender enough like a baby pig , the skin was thin And crispy. It came with steamed bun and hoisin sauce and some vegetables to be eaten together . Six of us finished the whole pig and all the dishes . We only had some fried rice left to bring home for next meal . Great service and good food . The suckling pig has better quality than the majority of the Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area . You would need to order 3 days in advance . I would not recommend the " to go " option cause the crispy skin will not taste the same when you put aluminum foil cover on a roasted pig . Great birthday present for the family member!

Dim sum is pretty good and always packed on weekends!…read more Came for weeknight dinner and the ingredients didn't seem like the best quality. In the lamb pot, the soy pieces were dry and rough. In another mixed veg dish, the veggie piece was stringy and not very chewable. A few dishes were overly salty. Hot and sour soup was very mild and different from the standard at other places, which is ok because half my table liked that and half did not, just preferences Service is fine and efficient! Casual ambiance, loud typical restaurant volume Appreciate the complimentary red bean soup in the end of meal!

But I'm not upset at all about this impromptu decision as we had a great meal here. Our table of 6 ordered a variety of dishes and everything was delicious. the most notable items for me were the spicy wontons and fish in chili oil. The dishes were spicy but not so much so that you couldn't enjoy the actual flavors of the dish. For those that like the Szechuan tingling feeling, the chicken in explosive chilis was also quite good. We had also given the string beans, green onion pancake, and pork and shrimp dumplings a shot and all of them hit the spot. I'm usually a huge fan of braised beef noodle soup so decided to get that here too. It wasn't the same as if I had gotten this dish at a Taiwanese restaurant; compared to the strong flavors of the other dishes, this one was pretty mild. So it's something I would skip next time I come, but every other dish was on point. Our waitress was also great at taking care of us, bring out our food quickly and helping us to clear the other plates. Even after we finished our meal and overstayed our welcome by continuing to chat, the staff didn't make us feel rushed to leave.

Bon Appetit! The locals know to come here - iykyk, however they say it in Chinese. Don't let the simple decor throw you off; if anything, it is a green flag as usual. They put everything, their heart and soul and elbows into taming the fiery flames firing the wok hay. There is a dragon that lives amongst this village, and it breathes flames and flavor into every dish. We tried the seemingly innocuous seafood vermicelli and the usual Portuguese sauce chicken baked spaghetti (or rice). And that is where the story of the Gourmet Village flowed - from the depths of such flavor. The dishes may look standard, but it packed a punch. The people and service were welcoming as well. This year of FIFA 2026 brought in a multitude of customers, and all of us from young and old, eating in or taking out, whatever race or ethnicity, we watched the game on the tele and cheered, groaned, or sighed with relief - as a community at this Gourmet Village.

Parking in…read morethe area can be challenging on busy weekends, but we got lucky and found a spot about half a block away. We arrived around 8:30 PM and were seated right away. Place was welcoming and super clean. When you first walk in, there's a cute statue of a guy happily pulling noodles, which adds a little character to the place. The restaurant is mostly self-service; you scan a QR code at the table to order, while water, spices, utensils, and to-go boxes are available for you to grab yourself. Our food came out surprisingly fast. We ordered the Braised Beef Noodle Soup. The beef was tender, cut into bite-sized pieces, and served with some vegetables. I really liked the broth; it was clean tasting but still flavorful and comforting. The only disappointment was that the soup wasn't very hot. Since we came in fairly close to closing and I believe the kitchen closes at 9 PM, perhaps they were already winding things down for the evening. We also tried the chili oil cabbage, which was tasty, flavorful, and a nice side dish to have with the noodles. When you're finished, you request the bill through the app. There are suggested tip options, which felt a little unusual at first since so much of the experience is self-service. That said, the staff does bring the food to your table and clears everything afterward, so there is some service involved. Overall, the noodles were pretty good, the beef was tender, and the flavorful broth was the highlight for me. It's a convenient place when you want something warm and satisfying without spending a lot of time over dinner. We were seated, ate, and were on our way in about 30 minutes. I think I'll return to try other dishes.
