4.5 STARS Nom Nom Bistro has your wallet in mind with filling entrees starting at $11.95...and nothing is over $17.95. Take that $20 salads...well, $26 if you want chicken. Ridic. Opening last summer, Nom Nom Bistro has been a hit with locals craving Cantonese and HK Cafe comfort food. It took a couple of tries but I've found my go-tos! M E N U Specialty: HK Wonton Noodle Soup. They also have a variety of dumplings, braised meats, jook, rice dishes, and desserts: milk custard, tofu pudding, egg tarts, and more. Soy milk is housemade. F O O D * Taro Cake 芋頭糕 (Special - $8.95): https://tinyurl.com/bderj86z The housemade taro cake was crispy on the outside and chockfull of tender, earthy taro. Delicious with chili sauce. TIP: Pan-fry leftovers with eggs to make bột chiên or chai tow kway. * Handmade Potstickers 手工锅贴 w/ pork + cabbage (8 pc - $10.25): https://tinyurl.com/bdhkefhf Thin, chewy skin with a savory pork and cabbage filling. I prefer crispier bottoms but they were otherwise fine. * Rice Noodle Roll w/ xo sauce 醬炒腸粉 ($7.45): https://tinyurl.com/5n92enuv LOVED THIS! Chewy rice noodles studded with dried shrimp and pan-fried, great wok hei with crispy, caramelized bits. The housemade XO sauce added a rich umami and a kick of heat. * Braised Beef Brisket Wonton Noodles 广式牛筋腩云吞面 ($17.95): https://tinyurl.com/ybmzjzn3 - Add extra four wonton +$4.95, cross-section: https://tinyurl.com/2rm96zfp * Braised Brisket Wonton Noodles 广式牛筋腩云吞面 ($17.95): https://tinyurl.com/5ds3u39c - Request lo mien "dry" style +$2 Between the two styles, I prefer the lo mien "dry" style; soup is served on the side. - Wonton: Plump and juicy with savory pork and snappy morsels shrimp. They don't skimp on the shrimp. - Noodles: Perfectly chewy and springy, nicely soaks up the savory sauce from the brisket. - Soup: Light, clean broth with a deep umami and slight briny flavor from the dried flounder and shrimp. - Braised Brisket: Inconsistent between visits - sometimes it's meltingly tender and gelatinous, and sometimes it's chewy. - Veggies: Crunchy choy sum for a well-balanced meal. Their wonton noodles really hits the spot! If you live in Peninsula, it saves you the trip to Hon's or LetsSweet Kitchen (formerly Beyond Café) in the city. * Red Bean Curd Pork Trotter Lo Mien 南乳猪手撈面 ($14.25): https://tinyurl.com/mtz4arbn My current fav entrée at Nom Nom, you receive four large, meaty trotters with silky, gelatinous skin and tender meat that easily pulls off the bone (great for your skin!). They're served over springy wonton noodles that soak up all that rich, delicious sauce. It's savory-sweet with a subtle funk from the fermented red bean curd. So satisfying. * Curry Beef Brisket Rice 咖喱牛腩饭 ($13.95): https://tinyurl.com/3ct97cv3 * Braised Pork Belly Rice 古法焖猪肉饭 ($13.95): https://tinyurl.com/tk3tbnf4 While very budget-friendly and filling, I wasn't a fan of their rice dishes. They tasted like reheated leftovers except they arrived lukewarm. S E R V I C E Cordial and prompt. Shoutout to Kyle! Despite it being busy and the only ones outside, he checks in with us and makes sure our water cups are always filled. A M B I A N C E Casual, modern bistro vibes with about 12 tables inside and two low tables outside. Overall, if you're looking for a legit HK café comfort food, Nom Nom Bistro is the spot to hit up in the Peninsula. read more

First visit and just opened. Came via recommendation from a friend. Since opening there's always a line for lunch and dinner. The menu is very limited, mostly wonton noodles, soup noodles, and Chinese tapas like marinated chicken feet, pickled cucumbers, other delicacies. I enjoyed the wontons and crispy pickled cucumbers. This is really a Chinese comfort food palace. Not decorated lavishly tho. The staff is very attentive and polite. I plan to go back to my comfort place - this place.

This is a relative new restaurant selling quick Chinese Cantonese food. I went because my neighbor wanted to try it. It's very similar to the other quick bite place across from the 7-11 (but now changed to hainan chicken restaurant). I guess the main selling point is the Cantonese wonton dumplings for this restaurant. There really are not many choices but if you come here you kinda know what to expect. The place is surprisingly popular among locals so you often would need to wait a bit. The food is alright but I can't say I'm impressed enough to want to come back. It's just like a McDonald's in that you know what to expect and not much to talk about. I'm not a fan of Cantonese noodles in general as they are not chewy enough and often has that alkali smell and taste. The wonton/dumplings are alright and they are plump enough. I think they are slightly expensive for what you get. The vegetarian goose (mushroom wrapped with tofu skin) is good as it's a common Cantonese dimsum stable. Service is good enough and place is new so fairly comfortable. A solid 3 star I guess. read more

Nom Nom Bistro is the kind of neighborhood spot that makes you feel like a regular from your very first visit. Tucked away in Millbrae, this charming little restaurant serves up Hong Kong comfort food that hits every single time. The portions are generous, the flavors are deeply satisfying, and there is a warmth to the place that keeps you coming back. If you haven't made the trip out here yet, it's absolutely worth it. read more

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a tasty albeit chilly experience. Parking is available in the city owned surface lot behind the restaurant or on nearby streets. Dining is available both indoors or outdoors. The front door was left wide open during lunch making it an awfully chilly experience... Started off with the HK milk tea and it was decent. I've had stronger and smoother tea in HK. The rice noodle rolls with XO sauce was quite tasty. Portions were generous too. The pan fried chives dumplings were tasty. They were made in house and portions were gigantic. The wonton beef brisket wide noodles soup was tasty. The noodles were fresh and the broth was flavorful. Portions were generous too. The wontons were light and plump. The beef brisket and tendons were decent. Cash and credit are the same price. read more

Solid Hong Kong cafe food! It's so nostalgic to me because I grew up eating Hong Kong cafe food that exactly that tasted like this. The price is decent as well, the quality is good. We went on a weekend night and there was a wait of around 20-30 minutes. They don't have an online waitlist and we went there to put down our names. The food is where it's at. We ordered four dishes and all of them were so delicious. The highlights were definitely the beef curry with rice and the double skinned milk. - Beef curry with rice (5/5): This was so so delicious and it tasted exactly like my childhood beef curry rice. The beef is tender. The curry is flavorful. The rice is a good complement to the curry. One thing I wish it's better is that they have more veggies in the curry. - Pork dumplings (4/5): Super solid and delicious. The dumplings are packed with flavors and filled with pork, just the way I like it. The dumplings are also super big. - XO pan fried rice noodles (4/5): Nothing too surprising, taste pretty decent as expected. It's fried well and the flavor is good. - Dun lai aka double skinned milk (4/5): Great flavor, I would order it again next time I come read more

Nom Nom Bistro was open on Easter Sunday evening, so we decided to try them out. When we got there, we put our name down on the waitlist. It took about 20 minutes for the 4 of us to be seated. Casual cafe style type of spot. The waitstaff that took our order was friendly and efficient. ***OUR PICKS*** BEEF BRISKET AND TENDON WONTON NOODLE SOUP ~ beef brisket and tendons with wontons (4) and a choice of noodles. I chose the thick flat egg noodles. Tendon and stew meat was soft and cooked well. Wontons had nice shrimp filling. Though the noodles could have been less cooked. It wasn't overcooked, yet it wasn't "crispy" and quickly blanched like some I've had. I think it's because it's paper thin that it's difficult to get that texture with those noodles. Still enjoyable! 4/5 CURRY BEEF BRISKET AND TENDON RICE ~ slow braised beef brisket and tendon in curry with potatoes and carrots. The person who had this dish said the curry wasn't at all spicy nor that flavorful. The menu had a chili pepper to indicate that it would be spicy, but it wasn't. Meat was good and tender and they gave a generous helping of rice. But he probably wouldn't order it again. 3.5/5 RED BEAN CURD PORK TROTTERS WITH THICK FLAT DRY NOODLES ~ tender pork trotters slowly braised in fermented red bean curd with a choice of noodles or rice. My guy ordered this and felt the same about the noodles. It was slightly more cooked than he would have liked. Pork trotters were soft and tender, perfectly cooked. Flavor was good too. But my guy was still hungry. He probably needed to order an appetizer along with his entree. 4/5 SILKIE CHICKEN SOUP WITH GINSENG ~ my daughter had this because she wasn't too hungry. She said it's your typical herbal soup, though it wasn't tasty and plated nicely. 4/5 PUFF PASTRY EGG TARTS ~ we all wanted this though thinking about it, we could have gotten another dessert for a variety. However, we were happy to each have an egg tart to finish off the meal. Not the flakiest crust like phyllo pastry, but it was flaky. Custard was barely sweetened but nice and custard-y! 4.5/5 Overall, it's a solid choice if you want wonton noodle soup. But the menu is limited. My daughter actually wanted soy sauce chow mein, but they ran out! I'm not sure if there's always a wait, but it seems like a popular spot among the Asian crowd. I'd like to come back and try the other tempting desserts like black sesame paste or the double skim milk custard. Others mentioned they were also delicious. read more

So good! There was a surprising wait at 12p on a Friday, but it moved quickly. Highlights: - turnip cake: texture is so homemade and flavor is fresh - beef noodle soup: beef was tender and noodles are chewy! - black sesame pudding: great flavor (apparently this was viral online?) Would recommend for good casual eats! read more

Had the braised beef brisket tendon and wonton noodles along with chive dumplings, wild pepper chicken feet, and smashed cucumbers. I initially ordered the beef brisket tendon and wonton noodles with vermicelli but the server said they were out (it was 10:30 AM...?) so I got it with flat noodles. The portion was good and the tendon was tender to the bite. Wontons were also properly cooked and had lots of filling. Chive dumplings and the pepper chicken feet were nicely seasoned. The cucumbers were okay but I don't think it was soaked in the dressing enough as there wasn't any flavor when you bit into the cucumbers. Overall, I think it was a good brunch location. I saw that there were desserts on the menu so I'll be coming back for those. read more

Visited here on a cold rainy day and the food hit the spot. Yummy heart warming dishes. Tried the braised beef brisket wonton noodle soup, Zhongshan home style pork meatballs & lettuce congee and for dessert the black sesame paste with osmanthus. The beef brisket in the wonton soup was nice and tender and the soup had a delicious broth, the noodles were cooked perfectly. The congee was also tasty and meatballs were very tender and flavored. The sesame dessert was amazing..I'm a big black sesame fan. You also get hot tea with your meal. The service was amazing and everyone was very kind and welcoming. read more

Food is good here. My order was a wonton noodles $13.25 and a curry brisket rice $15. The wontons aren't as good as the ones in actual Hong Kong. But it is good for Millbrae standards. These were inconsistent. While good, they can make them great by adjusting the seasoning to include more powdered sesame so that it enhances the natural shrimp taste. Noodles were OK. It would be better if they were more springy. For the curry brisket rice, this dish felt small. The ratio of curry to rice is wrong. Otherwise, the taste seemed OK. I would have preferred no ginger as it wipes out the flavor. Service was great. The kitchen was fast. read more

Definitely going to return! Been here twice and both times the food has been solid! 100000/5 for the tofu pudding. I haven't found a good tofu pudding in Bay Area for a decade! Super silky and syrup one the side so you can add the sweetness to your liking. 5/5 for the beef brisket noodle soup. Love that they give you a choice of noodles. 4.5/5 chive dumpling. Great flavor. Just wish it was crispy for the pan fried version. 4/5 for sesame paste and HK milk tea. Solid but nothing spectacular. 3.5/5 braise pork belly with rice (not pictured) Pork belly was super tender. Solid just wouldn't order over the beef brisket wonton noodle. 3/5 milk pudding. Very creamy. I would prefer a little more sweetness. Too plain for me. Would be great with topping or flavored with something else. Not for me but I see a lot of people getting this. Service is fine. My first visit had a waitress that was super efficient and proactive. The other workers were great at getting the orders out. On my second visit, the efficient waitress wasn't there. I got ignored trying to check out when I was standing right in front of the cashier even when they helped out other customers. Don't be shy like me when checking out! Speak up if you want something. read more

A new & delicious Cantonese spot right in the heart of downtown Millbrae! The wonton noodle soup here is absolutely delicious along with their homemade potstickers! Everything here is made to order so it comes out piping hot! Service here is excellent and they are quick and friendly. You order via the QR code at the table and you can order whatever you want through your browser. The wonton noodle soup I had came with wontons that were plump with plenty of filling inside with pork and shrimp. The skin wasn't too thick. The noodles were cooked well and were springy. I came in on a rainy day and it hit the spot. The broth was light and not overly salty. The homemade potstickers were huge when I saw them come out. They were jam packed with filling and delicious. I would easily order them again. Prices were what you expect and similar to other restaurants in the area. The inside of the restaurant has plenty of seating inside with a good amount of tables. You can also order takeout at a separate kiosk when you walk in which is nice. They also have several good looking deserts which I will have to try the next time I'm there. If you are craving a bowl of noodles, you have to come check out this spot and especially if it's raining! read more

A really damn good bowl of wonton noodle soup. That's what the area has been missing, especially since Fat Wong's kept flip flopping and ultimately closed down. Well, I was craving it one night, and the only place close enough with good reviews was Nom Nom Bistro. We DoorDashed two bowls of wonton noodle soup from here last month. The wonton noodles are really thin here, but I believe if you order direct from the restaurant now, you can request thicker egg noodles. Even though I had to wait to eat (hello parenting eating "shifts"), the broth was still piping hot. The broth was flavorful, clean and not overly salty. The wontons were perfectly shaped, flavorful, and cooked all the way through; let's face it a lot of restaurants will have wontons that don't seem all the way boiled through, well you don't need to worry about that here. Nom Nom also doesn't skimp on the amount of shrimps in the wontons, and they give you six wontons. Lastly, the choy had a nice snap to it and just a bit of bitterness. The whole bowl was so comforting! My husband just wished there was a teeny more contents in the bowl. We also easily placed an order directly through them online and picked it up last Sunday, shortly after opening. Come early though, as when I picked up my around about 45 minutes after opening, it was bustling! read more

New hongkong street food restaurant at Milbrae. The restaurant is not that big but roomy. It is just for big group you might find a challenge. It was busy when we arrived. You ordered by scanning the qr code. One thing which is interesting is if more than one scan and order even same table, each one will get it own confirmation. In the menu all are Hongkong comfort street food. We ordered wonton noodle soup, wonton noodle with braised beed brisket, pan fry noodle, porridge, curry Fish ball, smashed cucumber and pan fry rice roll. All are yummy. I like the soup which is light. Pan fry rice roll is yummy. The wonton and brisket are good. The noodle is cooked nicely. Fish ball is average. I also like the lemon Ice tea. Overall it was a good lunch with friends and service was good. Pricewise I think a bit high for some dishes. read more

We wanted warm, comforting food and came across this new Chinese restaurant that's still in their soft opening phase. Parking is a little challenging in this area but we got lucky with a spot a block away. They were busy for a weeknight but we wrote our name down on the list and got a table within 10 minutes. The place is casual but modern. Ordering is done on your phone via QR code. It's nice that they start you off with complimentary hot tea. Some reviews mentioned free soy milk but we weren't offered that. For appetizers we got their Chive Dumplings ($10.95) and Handmade Potstickers ($9.95). The dumplings and potstickers were both big and tasted fresh. They would have been even better if they were crispier. I ordered the Pork & Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup ($12.95) and it had plump wontons with thin noodles. The broth was perfectly savory and hit the spot. The wontons were a little dense but still good. My family also tried the Braised Beef Brisket & Wonton Noodle Soup ($16.95) and Hong Kong Curry Brisket with Rice ($13.95). They liked both dishes and said the brisket was tender. The curry is on the spicier side but very tasty. It's a nice spot for Cantonese comfort food. The prices are fair and the service is quick. Hopefully they add more to their menu when they are fully open. read more

Visited on a Saturday afternoon during their soft opening and waited about 30 minutes. The limited menu focuses on Cantonese comfort food. They brought a large bottle of water but didn't include cups, so we had to ask. We ordered and paid via QR code, so other than requesting cups and staff serving the food, we had little interaction with them. We each ordered a bowl of wonton noodle soup (I had the flat rice noodles and no green onions). Each bowl comes with six large pork & shrimp wontons and greens; the broth was clear and not overly salty. We also shared the curry brisket with rice. Both dishes were good, prices are about average for the area, and I'd come back. read more

waaaait a minute - THEIR WONTONS ARE SO GOOD! My family likes to make their own wontons. So to ditch that and INSIST on coming to get the wontons at Nom Nom is a huge compliment. We've also tried their curry rice and curry noodles and all are equally comforting and delicious. There is a bit of a wait at peak lunch hours but nothing too bad. You order and can also close the tab to pay on the QR code. I'll get to try their dessert time everyone has suggested. read more

New Cantonese café in the neighborhood! I ordered the curry brisket with tendon. The brisket was tender and flavorful, but my bowl only had one piece of tendon and very little potato. Potatoes are a must for curry brisket, and I prefer them lightly fried before cooking so they absorb the curry without getting mushy. The double skin milk custard was delicious though--tasted just like the famous Nam Shun double skin milk from Guangzhou. read more

New canto wonton and brisket noodle soup spot that also does good fried chive dumplings! My parents told me about this new spot, since I dream about canto wonton noodle soup when I'm not in the Bay Area. (Normally I go to Porridge King in Daly City for my wonton nood fix) Restaurant is slightly small off of Broadway Ave on Millbrae with some wait outside since it's still new. Order via table QR code with your smartphone and you can pay at the end of your meal via phone as well. Must orders: - Wonton Noodle Soup +/- beef brisket: Thin but bouncy/chewy noodles with a yummy clean shrimp broth. Wontons were yummy and beef brisket was nice and tender. Option on customizations to also get lo mein (same noods with oyster sauce rather than in soup). - Pan fried chive dumplings: I was super surprised since these were like more flavorful versions of potstickers with a bit of chive (not overly powerful). Would get again! - Note potstickers were also yummy and flavorful. Would get and recommend over above chive dumplings if you are less into chives, but both are similar in crispy texture and pork filling otherwise. Therefore would maybe get above instead next time! I got a cold fresh soymilk which was ok, but idk if I would get again (would hold off and save for boba and other options in the area). Overall a nice addition to Downtown Millbrae for Wonton Noodle Soup lovers! read more

There's a new café-style restaurant in Millbrae called Nom Nom Bistro, and it's already made its way into my regular rotation. First of all -- the pan-fried dried shrimp rice rolls? SO good. If you're like me and prefer your rice rolls crispy instead of the soft, slippery dim sum style, this one is for you. The texture is everything. Now let's talk dessert, because this is my soft spot. Their tofu pudding and tofu pudding with black sesame instantly took me back to Hong Kong. Light, silky, not overly sweet, and incredibly comforting. It's the kind of dessert you finish and immediately want another spoonful of. I also really enjoyed their stewed soups -- super flavorful and perfect if you're craving something warm and nourishing. I haven't tried their soup noodles yet, but based on how solid their appetizers and small dishes are, I'm definitely coming back for more. This is like a cute and cozy mom and pop shop. The service is friendly. If you're in Millbrae and looking for a casual spot that hits both savory and sweet cravings, Nom Nom Bistro is worth checking out. read more

This place will not last long according to my Hong Kong friends....here's why: Wonton with braised beef and noodles: this was my order ans the noodles are skimpy. The wonton taste like they're Costco or something. Barely any flavor or taste. The same goes for the soup and their beef was super chewy and needed many more hours ro marinate and be tender and not so chewy. 3/10---flavorless boring wonton noodle beef soup Pork knuckles rice: couldn't believe my friend ordered this. Not cooked long enough. Again tough. 4/10 Beef Stew over rice: Same hard and NOT tender and flavorless meat over rice. 3/10 Dun Lai dessert 7/10 stars. Creamy, cold, but not everyone at our table would order it again. After 2 bites they were done with it. Dessert waa probably the only decent thing we ate here. read more

Delicious Hong Kong style food! Really enjoyed wonton with noodle in soup and egg tarts for dessert. Great service and reasonable prices.

Great option for a casual and affordable meal of Cantonese comfort food. Ordering was quick and easy via QR code, and all our food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the chicken curry with rice, the braised beef curry with rice, and the braised beef with wontons and noodles. Everything was decently portioned, reasonably priced (~$14-17 for our dishes), and simple but tasty. Service was also efficient and friendly, unlike at some of your typical Chinese restaurants. I also appreciate that they didn't cram all their tables together to maximize seating. Overall a lucky find on our part, and we will be returning for more family dinners. read more

Nom Nom Bistro - Beef curry - Dim Sum Near Me - Millbrae, California

I'd give this place a 3.5 if I could. Nom Nom Bistro is a fairly new, clean Chinese spot offering a casual dining experience with comfort-style dishes like wontons, beef brisket rice, curry chicken rice, potstickers, pan-fried dumplings, and more. We ordered the potstickers, beef brisket and wonton noodle soup, and curry chicken over rice. The potstickers were large and filled with shrimp and pork--solid. The noodles, however, were a bit soggy. The beef brisket was tender but just okay in terms of flavor, and the wontons were decent, though not the traditional Hong Kong-style ones. The noodles were the biggest letdown of the meal. The curry chicken over rice was decent but a bit lacking in curry flavor, and came with a generous portion of rice but not quite enough curry. For dessert, we tried the double skin milk custard. It was just okay--more like steamed milk than a traditional Hong Kong-style double-layered version. Service was a bit of a miss. Maybe they're still working out the kinks, but we had to ask multiple times for utensils, tea, bowls, and the check. read more

Was intrigued by the dessert, so gave this place a try. Ordered: Beef brisket noodle: was okay nothing too special to note 6/10 HK milk tea: average 7/10 (was on promotion), used to seeing iced milk tea served in a glass cup Soy sauce chow mein: the size is rather small, was okay 7/10 Double skim milk custard: served in a to go container for us, taste was good. Would come back for this. 8/10 Side notes: Menu was rather small & there is limited street parking. read more

Incredibly authentic wonton noodles! They source their noodles straight from HK and it has the "soapy" aroma and taste to it, love that and it's super nostalgic. Their wonton uses paper thin wrappers with generous filling of pork and shrimp. I really enjoyed the wonton broth because of how umami the flavor is but still on the lighter side. I usually go to Hon's SF for my wonton fix but glad to see an authentic one pop up in Millbrae! They have a limited menu right now because they're new, I'm excited to see their menu grow. Decor is very warm and minimalist. The staff is very friendly and really care about their customer experience and asked for comments and feedback as we wrapped up our meal. read more

Came here to try out this new place on a Tuesday night. This restaurant runs by a family and they specialize in Canton (ZhongShan?) style food and dessert. Their food and dessert reminds me of my childhood memories in Guangzhou. Their Double Skim Milk Custard is great and I would recommend it for you to try. Must try!! I also love their pan fried dumpling because they are juicy and filled with shrimp and chives. Get the dark vinegar from the self serve counter and dip with it! Definitely a 9/10. Wonton noodle soup is above the average and I heard its ZhongShan style? I would give it a 8/10. Love the noodle texture! Not to mention, their indoor decor is great and reminds me of Guangdong. Very cool decors and great details. Don't forget to self serve yourself with some complimentary soy milk and hot tea at the self serve counter. Service was great and it's run by a small family. I definitely feel the warmth and love from them. They made the food with their love. It was definitely a lovely, memorable dining experience. Will come back to try their other food and desserts. read more
