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

This review is for our dine-in experience on Wednesday! We visited during lunch hour and had a few parties ahead of us. The time between putting our name down on the waitlist, getting seated, and getting our first dish was around 50 minutes or an hour. For the price, I think this place is pretty worth it! The congee was hot and delicious. We added pepper from the self-serve station and it added some extra flavor. The wontons had a decent amount of filling. My dad, who usually always complains about his soup not being hot enough was satisfied this time! He even requested an additional bowl of soup! I had the beef brisket wonton noodles which was a new item after comparing the menu image on Yelp with the menu in the store. The brisket and tendons were nice and tender. My personal favorite was the dumplings! To my surprise, each piece had a lot of fillings and was very juicy! I tried pairing it with the chili garlic sauce they had but it wasn't as spicy as I expected. It was still good and I enjoyed every bite though. I also liked their herbal jelly which I try to get at every Canton restaurant I visit. They don't add a ton of syrup which is a green flag for me and I can taste the medicinal factors. Definitely one of the best herbal jellies I've tasted. I will say, one thing that needs improvement is their waitlist system. They did not cross out names and seemed to go off on whoever was at the restaurant first, which was fine, but they also didn't check the parties' names before seating them. Another customer who was waiting beside me asked one of the staff members and they updated it promptly. I understand being overwhelmed by the crowd and that this place is still in its soft opening phase so this is just something to keep in mind for your customers. I did notice a stand near the entrance with a tablet that was not powered on, maybe that's for their Yelp waitlist and they're not using it just yet. Overall, their dishes had a good portion size for the price and we left with our bellies full! I will come back again to try their other dishes for sure! read more

I found it, this is it guys - this is the best wonton noodle soup in the bay area. I've had wonton noodle soups around the world and I know what im talking about. wontons themselves can be improved -- but quantity makes up for it (6-8 on avg). The noodles are exactly what they should be - chewy and not soggy at presentation. Notice they give yu choy not some lettuce in as a side, that's authentic. Toppings they also put chives -- that's the good stuff. Broth is no MSG bath.. there is wonton soup flavors in the broth. I've been there multiple times since their soft opening, will be back next week. read more

Food was very authentic Chinese. Tried a variety of dishes including a herbal ginseng Chinese chicken. Choysum veggies were delicious. Chicken curry with rice was true to form as well. Good place to relax and have nostalgic foods. Also recommend the spicy wontons and beef tendon noodles. Yum. read more

Nice welcoming vibe little restaurant !!! Very attentive wait staff . This is 1st dine in experience since our take out several days ago I absolutely love their fresh shrimp wonton and ordered again. We ordered the tendon beef stew noodles,I must admit ...the best tendon brisket exquisitely prepared We also had their award winning curry brisket Anxious to try the congee on our next visit read more

This is a small Asian bistro, but the dim sum here and dishes are fantastic. My daughter and I ordered homemade potstickers, chicken curry with rice and she had a custard pie. All the dishes came out hot, fresh and delicious. The chicken curry was not overpowering and a very, very smooth blend as you ate it over white rice. The potstickers were described as homemade, and they lived up to the billing. Service is done either through a QR code or they actually took our order right by the table. The workers here all looked to be busy and are very polite and as friendly as can' be for a busy restaurant. Although the place is small and busy, it was easy to get in. We only waited about 15 minutes and we sat at a two person booth. Definitely a place I would come back to with my family. read more

Just tryied the beef stew wonton soup. It was very authentic Hong Kong style. The wontons had a lot of meat and the noodles had the texture I liked, not too soft. The beef stew was perfect also. The tendons weren't too soft and gooey, but not hard and chewy. Also had the skim milk desert, also excellent, not too sweet and smooth and silky. Service was great and friendly. Place was clean as it should be since its new. Price was reasonable. Would definitely be back with my friends to try more dishes. read more

Dine in for the double skim milk I think is nearly $6. The bowl is super small, and I never ate a double skim milk the top layer is so hard like a jello. Black Sesame Paste With Osmanthus. It was alright, but also the bowl is so small.... Feels like a scam. Can literally finished it with a few sip. Egg tart: they left the tray out on the counter. We ordered one, is cold and small....on the sweeter side as well. Won't be back. Don't think it is authentic. The menu is limited so i have even higher expectation. However is a huge disappointment The time we went we saw a table with blogger that take picture of everything and their meal is free. Guess that's why they have so many positive reviews so far. To the owner: as a new business you should be more willing to accept feedback. Rather than defending it. I'm from Guangzhou and this is absolutely not the "traditional size" your bowl is. It the portion within it is definitely not. Also regarding the influencer, I saw this couple they had all the food item on the menu took picture on every dish. When they left, one of the restaurants staff said thank you for coming. And did not paid. read more

Happened to be in Millbrae and heard good things about the restaurant and wanted to give it a try. Went on a weekday during lunch and didn't have to wait. The wait staff were very friendly. Our group had various versions of the wonton noodles which were very good. Also ordered the dry shrimp noodle rolls and the chive dumplings which were very tasty as well. Would definitely return if in the area. read more

Food was just okay--nothing really stood out. The flavors felt a bit bland, though the prices are fair for the area. I'm sure plenty of people will come to try it once, but I'm not sure how many will return. The chive dumpling was the highlight--tasty and homemade. Everything else... not enough to make me want to come back. read more

Came by here before going to the airport, wonton was amazing, noodle was springy, it may lack of little traditional 大地魚 flavor but overall it's excellent! Definitely will come back, my 6 year old approved! read more

Ordered take out for tonight's dinner since we live in the neighborhood. This restaurant is better than some of the cafes we went to in Hong Kong. My opinion on restaurants? As long as they taste good to you. Don't compare to "Hong Kong" or wherever the origin of food is supposed to be from. The Braised beef: sauce and tenderness of the beef were both on point. Perfect savory combined with hint of sweet for braised beef sauce. Beef tenderness is great - not over or under cooked. Chives dumpling: fresh ingredients, thin skin but not broken, tasty filling combinations and perfect savory. Pork knuckle: Sure, I've had better - but it's pretty good for restaurant quality. Fresh and tasty. Wonton noodles: As good as they should taste! Noodle - perfectly al dente. Wontons fillings are good sized shrimps that tasted fresh as well. Hope they keep up the good work and always have fresh ingredients. It's a perfect meal for "I don't know what to cook or eat"! read more

It's really delicious. I will come back to eat other dishes. These delicacies taste very similar to the ones I had in Guangzhou read more

wonton noodle and curry beef rice are great and have various of chinese dessert. its authentic type of restaurant.

This is a great little noodle oriented Chinese restaurant in Millbrae, of course. The lines are long, and the wait is worth it....nice variety of flavorful dumplings and noodles in soups, broths, and stand alone. The prices are remarkably reasonable, with many items below $10! The place is small, and crowded. Service is decent for such a small place. Ordering, as always, can be confusing. But, the servers get it right and are very helpful. Well worth visiting for a nice change of pace. read more

Double Skim Milk Custard and Puff Pastry Egg Tart are great!!! Great service, and they are quick too

We're there for the grand opening, but didn't know it. We made just in time before the crowds got there (5:00pm). Very simple menu, but very delicious. We had their house speciality beef stew and tendon wonton mein. With a side of Chive dumplings which was also delicious. The is restaurant is small and has a nice atmosphere. Would definitely go again and try something different. read more

Their Beef Brisket is excellent. It's hard to find much better in the area. There are a variety of different pieces in an order and none of them taste dry. They also add tendon. Gravy on it is good and not overly strong or heavy with msg. The only thing it lacks is the crunch that old school brisket used to have, but like i said it's hard to find better. I generally order the Beef Brisket Noodle soup. It comes with the rubber band egg noodles standard, but you can substitute rice noodles if you prefer. There isn't a lot of beef brisket in the order so if you're a big eater i recommend adding extra. The broth itself pretty good too. You can order them with wonton too which are good but not great. They're nice to break up the monotony. I've had the potstickers and they are fine, but nothing to write home about. Just stick to the beef brisket and you won't be disappointed. The servers are nice and helpful. You can also order and pay from your phone on those days you want to avoid human contact. The restaurant is also quite clean and modern. Much nicer than your average chinese restaurant. read more

Glad to know this new place with their Fantastic food. Especially the double skin milk which truly remind me of Guangzhou. read more

A limited menu that reminds you of going to your Chinese grandma's house for a bite. I'm hoping to see a few more comfort canto dishes added in the future (maybe some tong yuen or a stir fry with muy Choi)! Had the beef brisket wonton noodle soup and I appreciated the clean broth, sizable wontons and tender brisket. It was savory , not overly salty and delicious with chili sauce. Also had the PANFRIED chives potstickers and loved the thinness of the wrapper, but the ratio of chives overwhelmed the rest of the filling for me - i prolly should have stuck to the traditional potstickers. No custard tarts available on the day that I had dined there but apparently they bake it fresh in house when it is available. So something to try next time! And I love that they have small portion of soups to help balance out the heat in your body, so if u don't have a grandma or mom still making Chinese soup (bow tong) then definitely have a bowl while you're there! read more

Pleasantly surprised! Was in the area and decided to check this place out. Clean space, friendly service, and food was good without denting the wallet. Unlike other Chinese restaurants, the menu is limited in a good way. They also have dessert items on the menu. I ordered steamed milk(?) and was asked if I wanted it cold or hot. I chose hot and it was microwaved. The warmth of the dessert was not even. Otherwise, everything else was good. read more

Went to lunch after 1 pm, still have to wait, should try their wonton noodles soup, one of the best in Millbrae, beef stews a must, either with rice or noodles definitely worth a try, budget friendly read more

The environment was clean, and the service was great. However, I did find a very short hair in my Beef Brisket Curry Rice. I didn't really mind it, but I did think the curry rice was a bit dry, not very moist. I wouldn't order it again; the flavor was just okay, and it was a bit hard to swallow. On the bright side, they offer free coffee, soy milk, and tea, which I really liked! Their other desserts were also delicious! Next time, I'll definitely come back just for the desserts! read more

Friends of ours call this No No Bistro. We were curious and went to try it for ourselves. We were indeed disappointed! Meat dishes were primarily low quality meat: tough and chewy. Tried a number of dishes and nothing stood out. read more

As a native Cantonese speaker, I can confidently say this is an authentic Cantonese bistro. The turnip cake is incredibly flavorful and delicious. The wonton and beef brisket noodles are a must-try--each wonton is generously filled, the beef is rich and pleasantly chewy, and the broth is wonderfully savory. The double-skin milk custard is truly authentic and delightful. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Double skim milk is amazing here! We ate here during their soft opening, food was good and the ambience has this ancient China feel to it which I like. The owner came over to ask our feedback on the food and the experience. You can tell they are doing everything to keep up with the demand. Good to see a little gem on Broadway. read more

Solid food and really friendly staff! Also accommodating. We came 10minutes before they closed and still sat us.

I was first attracted by the awesome environment. I can feel their effort in making this a comfortable place. They have free self-made soy milk, lemon tea, and BRANDED COFFEE!! An item I will recommend is the double-skim milk custard! Very very authentic. It is a Cantonese dessert and it is exactly how it tasted like when I have it in Guangdong. The creamy texture and milk taste are wonderful. Looking forward for more item in the menu! read more

Service was good, put great hope we will get authentic wonton noodles in the Bay Area, ending up food is no good, both wonton n beef has no taste n not enough seasoning! Very disappointed! read more
