This is a very popular spot. And I can see why now. Small space. Old-school vibes. Write your own name down on the waitlist and hang out on the sidewalk while you wait. Hopefully the weather is nice. Excellent HK style dishes. The "mock goose" stuffed with mushrooms is excellent. Congee is great. And of course wonton mein is aweseome. Well worth the wait.
Like many restaurants in the area, this place closes at 8:00 PM. However, unlike many Hong Kong-style cafés that advertise a 9:00 PM closing time but stop serving food and accepting customers as early as 8:30 PM, this restaurant welcomes everyone who arrives before 8:00 PM and lets them enjoy their meal without feeling rushed. Guests can still order everything they want before the kitchen closes, which I really appreciate. My favorites are the oyster sauce tossed noodles and the oyster sauce rice noodles. The pan-fried turnip cake is also crispy, flavorful, and definitely worth trying. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good food. 這家店如同附近的店都是晚上八點關店，但是不像是很多各式茶餐廳，打著九點關門的旗號，結果八點半就停止供餐和接客。這家店很好的讓所有在八點以前進入的客人都能慢慢用餐，並且吃上所有想點的食物。我喜歡他們家的蠔油撈麵和耗油河粉，蘿蔔糕也是酥脆香。推薦給各位喜歡美食的人。
big yum ! really big fan of the double skin custard - its got a really nice mild flavor (almost like whole milk or cream top). Also really enjoyed the braised pork belly rice. The pepper chicken feet was not what I was expecting, and a bit too sour/pepper-y/cold for my liking, and cut in half which is not the easiest to eat since since of the bone gets cut and is a little sharp. The osmanthus water chestnut drink was also unexpected, almost medicinal/herbal in flavor, but I quite liked it!
Had a chance to check this spot out recently. The place was crowded, which is always a good sign for this type of food, but definitely be prepared for a wait. My advice? Stick to small groups of 4 and try to go close to opening to avoid the crowds. The service was nice and impressively efficient despite the hustle. The Food: Wonton Noodle Soup: A bit of a mixed bag. The flavor was there, but some wontons had a thick dough left at the top from the wrap. It's a small technical detail that could be easily fixed by how it's wrapped, but it dampened the experience slightly. Hon Kee is still the standard for wonton noodles up in SF, but this is a decent effort. Braised Beef Wonton Noodle: This was the winner. The beef was perfectly tender and tasty. HK Milk Tea: Hit the spot. Overall: A good experience. Even with the minor wonton critique, I'm looking forward to heading back to work my way through the rest of the menu.
Man this place was busy, but for good reason! I've been loving new HK style restaurants and knew we had to try this one! We came on a Friday night and waited about 25 mins for a table of two. The food came out fairly quickly and service was friendly! Inside is super cute, warm, and well-decorated! And they tried to fit as many tables as possible inside. Overall the food was good! Chive dumplings are yummy. Braised beef brisket and tendon was good. Wontons needed more salt. The noodles were good but also needed more flavor (I had to add a lot of red vinegar). The pork belly had great flavor and I appreciated all the components on the plate! The stars of the night were the desserts!! I havent had black sesame soup that smooth and perfectly sweet outside of HK! And the milk custard was also amazing!! And for a fair price! Overall, this place represents HK well and we will be back to try more dishes!!
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.
A solid wonton noodle spot! The space is well-lit and very popular with locals. While they sometimes offer a Yelp waitlist, even when the waitlist is not active, there might still be a wait; you put your name on the paper waitlist. Turnover is fast though so the wait is not bad. Service was quick and friendly. As others have mentioned, the beef brisket & beef tendons are yummy, and perfect with the wonton noodles together. I also had the osmanthus water chestnut drink, which was refreshing. We ran into friends dining here also and they gave Nom Nom Bistro's egg tart a thunbs-up; we'll have to try it next time! Overall, while we still prefer Hon Kee in SF (Irving location), we are glad to have Nom Nom Bistro as an option in the Peninsula and will definitely be back!
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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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

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

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

Excellent taste and portion. Authentic Cantonese style shrimp wonton soup and braised beef brisket. Silky smooth 雙皮奶 is so impressive! Plump & juicy dumplings fried to perfection (not frozen from a bag for sure). Clean & tidy environment with simple Chinese decor. Courteous service. But they should keep an eye on front door when guests enter to greet them and escort them to an available table. read more

We arrived shortly after opening and the restaurant was already pretty packed! Seating is pretty limited but the restaurant is clean. Luckily we were quickly seated at the last open table and ordered via a menu online. They did have printed menus available as well. This is located on the main street with many other restaurants but seemed to have a good wait if you didn't arrive early. We ordered a handful of dishes to try and everything was good! The food came out pretty quickly as well! Our favorite was the beef shank and wonton noodles since the broth had so much flavor! We would've ordered more but the wait outside was long that we didn't want to be those customers that camp out at a table for hours. So we checked out online which was a simple process. If we're ever in the area again, we'll look forward to going back! read more

Nothing feels pre-made or mass-produced; everything tastes homemade and high quality. Definitely worth visiting if you're looking for real, authentic flavors. read more

Ordered takeout and everything was delicious! Authentic Hong Kong flavor. Limited menu selection but you can't go wrong with anything. Aside from the classic dishes like wontons, I like how they offer some of my favorite Chinese side dishes. All the dishes tasted home made with unique flavor. This would be my new go-to for comfort food in the area! It looks like they're still soft opening so the in-store menu had some more offerings than the shared menu here. It was packed for lunch on a Friday and is a small cozy, modern eatery. We ordered (all were 5/5) - won tons - vegetarian goose - chive dumpling - fish porridge - sesame dessert - steamed milk egg pudding read more

Great spot that opened on broadway. They are in soft opening still but service was good, food came pretty fast and ambiance is simple and clean. We ordered on the QR code and food came in 5m or so. The cucumber is similar to all other restaurants, good but nothing special. The chive dumpling is nice and crispy. Skin is also pretty thin. I enjoyed it with some chili and vinegar. The noodle was surprisingly chewy texture. Not as perfect as hk with the bamboo pole made ones but it was very good. The brisket was cooked to good soft texture and tendon was delicious. Each wonton had a shrimp in it and was peppery. Total came to about $25/person. read more

I've been here twice for dinner on week days and both times it was quite busy, but luckily I didn't have to wait long for a table. Once seated there's a QR code at the table to scan and order through the website. On my first visit, I ordered the braised beef brisket & wonton noodles and it was tasty. The pork and shrimp wontons were huge! However, the beef brisket was just fine - some pieces were tender while others were tougher and too fatty. As a black sesame lover, I had to try their black sesame paste with osmanthus, and it was a great "not too sweet" treat, but can be an acquired taste for those who haven't tried. During my second visit, I ordered the pork & shrimp wonton noodle soup since I didn't care for the beef brisket and it tasted just as good as the previous time. My friend ordered the same but with extra choy sum and noodles and it seemed worth it for the amount given. For dessert, I ordered the double skim milk custard which was rich and creamy and again, not too sweet. When I'm craving noodle soup this restaurant would be my pick for something quick and comforting. I also want to come back to try their dim sum. read more

Unfortunately, this place was a disappointment. The signature wonton noodle is not even close to the authentic ones. The wontons are just pork meatballs with similar filling as the shu mai you would get from a dim sum restaurant. The noodle wasn't soggy but it's not even close to the authentic taste. The noodle soup here probably meets the average/slightly below average wonton noodle soup standard in the Bay Area. I really wish we can have better wonton noodle soup in the Bag Area The beef brisket curry rice was also just ok because the curry was kinda bland and the tendon and beef brisket were not tender enough. Service was nice (albeit staff being very junior/inexperienced) but all the food including the black sesame paste was below average. Will not return for sure. I am from Hong Kong so I know what Guangdong style is like and this place is definitely not meeting the average standard. read more

Braised Beef Brisket With Rice - the rice and the source is good but I couldn't eat any of the brisket - maybe except one piece with the tendon. All the beef cubs were super tough and basically impossible to chew on. I don't know if that's a consistent with only the rice brisket since my friend ordered brisket over noddle and he was able to finish everything. I did let my server know so I hope they improve their quality but I definitely won't go back. read more

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
