    Prawn Chow Mein
    Alexandra I.

    I was only able to try a few dishes, the wonton soup and prawn chow mein. The soup was very hearty and warm. The chow mein was more on the oilier side but still good. Both dishes lacked some flavor but it was doable. Service was quick, they had the food ready super quickly within 15 minutes and we live a block away from this place. We had take out so maybe it would have been different if we stayed to eat there.

    Very delicious Basil Chicken and Chow mean!l lunch, with hot & sour soup, a small salad.  The Thai Ice Tea is also very good!

    Small & clean restaurant, recommended by the footwear clinic nearby. I ordered from their lunch menu and I was in awe of how good the food was and also a very good portion. Will come back with friends from San Mateo to visit this little gem I found.

    Salt and pepper boneless chicken over fried rice.

    Best salt and pepper chicken I've tasted yet! Service is great and restaurant is very clean will be coming back again.

    Lunch Combo E
    Generous Y.

    They do not skimp on the food at all. They pack the box to the brim so much that it's insane. You can literally feel the weight of the contents. At the lunch combo prices, it's ridiculous how much value this is. Easy 2 meals if you wanted to, especially if you drink water on the side. Lunch Combo E - fried rice, sweet and sour pork, broccoli beef, and crab rangoon. So much meat with an okay amount of vegetables, I was full for so long. Taste was solid too - nice and fast Chinese food slightly more authentic than a Panda Express. I was thoroughly impressed.

    i ordered prawn chowmein aside from being too oily, it lack taste and i did not see a prawn in my chow mein yet you call these prawn chowmein.

    When I ordered.

    I order some food at DoorDash in 2.04pm, but they canceled my order after 30 min, even they still not closed yet my the store hours. I have no idea why they doing something like that and very confused if they don't want ppl order online why they still open for that. They didn't call to say sorry or anything and wasted more than 30 minutes of my time, it was infuriating, when they decided to cancel the order my doordash driver had already arrived at the store, they realized they didn't want to complete the order. So if anyone want to do the online or take out Order maybe u can pick some another store :)

My favorites were the honey walnut shrimp and the pan fried noodles. I thought the portion size versus the price was pretty good. Food came out relatively quick too. We came in before the early dinner rush. When we first got there, there was only one other table being served, and by the time we finished, pretty much every table was taken up. The gentleman who was serving us was very kind and attentive. He was working hard as the only server in the restaurant, so kudos to him for providing great service. While I wouldn't consider the food s-tier, it was more than serviceable. If I'm craving Chinese food in the city of Belmont, this would satisfy the craving for sure.

My favorites are Sizzling Braised Tofu, Dry Pot Fish Fillet, Dry Pot Chicken, Sliced Tender Pork Chop with Salt & Pepper, Hong Kong Style Pan Fried Noodles, Braised Dry Green Beans, and Chinese Broccoli with Garlic Sauce.

Yan's brings me back to those days. We've been eating here more often over the past few years, and we have our regular dishes: chicken and corn soup, pork chops with Peking sauce, green beans, potstickers, and of course mu shu pork. Not sure who came up with the idea of a tortilla with hoisin sauce wrapped around cabbage, pork, and wood ear, but somehow it works. We usually have leftovers since the portions are quite large. There's other interesting stuff on the menu too (especially the Szechuan dishes) but most of the time we don't have enough room to order them. They also do drinks, and I like the lychee slushee. The staff is super friendly. Happy to have this place within a few blocks of home for some Chinese comfort food.

Baked Shrimp over rice with portuguese sauce - Tasted like curry to me. I rarely get the baked dishes because they tend to be a bit on the heavier side. My husband and in-laws like this.

My server/waiter was an older gentleman. He offered me a table by the window. The table setting was very thoughtful. They offer chopsticks, but there's also a fork and knife wrapped in a red cloth napkin. They gave me ice water, but I also asked for hot tea. King Chuan has a detailed menu, with several dishes having a brief description. I ordered Wor Won Ton Soup. I asked for dark meat chicken only. They said "no problem." The Wor Won Ton Soup was very good. The soup had napa cabbage, carrots and broccoli. The chicken was tender and easy to eat. It also had pieces of beef and a few shrimp. The broth was light, and not salty. I also ordered the "Hot Dragon Chicken Wings." With a name like that, I expected very spicy wings. The wings were not spicy at all. In fact, I had to add salt to bring the flavor out. I was puzzled as to why these fried chicken wings have a mild flavor if they're served with spicy seasonings. I guess I was expecting something else. Overall, a nice experience.

From the first visit, it was clear this isn't an "Americanized Chinese restaurant," but a place that truly understands Chinese cooking, technique, and flavor. What impressed me most were the mushroom dishes. Being able to enjoy mushrooms with such depth and complexity in the U.S. is already rare. The aroma isn't built from heavy seasoning, but from the ingredients themselves, fully brought out. The flavors are clean, natural, and incredibly fragrant--the kind that lingers and keeps you wanting more. It immediately brought back memories of authentic Yunnan flavors. Even more impressive were some of the seemingly ordinary stir-fried dishes. At first glance, they look simple, almost unassuming. One bite in, though, and you instantly understand what real wok hei is. That smoky, high-heat flavor can only come from a skilled chef using proper equipment and precise timing. It's not greasy or overpowering--just deeply aromatic and perfectly balanced. Simple, yet elevated. Overall, this is a restaurant that doesn't rely on gimmicks, fancy plating, or social-media hype. Everything is driven by pure technique and respect for ingredients. Each dish has a clear identity and leaves a lasting impression--not something you just photograph and forget, but something you actually remember. In the Bay Area, where Chinese restaurants are everywhere but truly great ones are rare, Ping's Bistro is a place I'd gladly return to again and again. If you're looking for something different, want to experience real wok hei, or simply appreciate honest, well-executed Chinese cooking, this spot is absolutely worth a dedicated visit.
