    Braised Beef Brisket And Tendon Noodles
    Corinna T.

    Nom Nom Bistro is as authentic as it gets to a Hong Kong Cafe. It's, busy, bustling, and the staff and customers primary speak Mandarin and Cantonese. Great food, decent service. Due to popularity and peak business hours, in my handful of past experiences, there WILL be a rather long wait. On a Friday night for a table of 2, we waited 30 minutes to sit then another 30 minutes for food to come. On a Saturday morning, a HK milk tea to go took 15 minutes. The food, drink, and dessert are worthwhile if you have the time. Favorites: -HK milk tea -Fresh soy milk (can get hot or cold, despite a server telling me it can only be cold and another asked me my temperature preference) -wonton noodle soup Husband enjoys the fish filet congee and beef brisket noodle soup Overall a good place to come for lunch or dinner, time permitting.

    Ordered to go, because they close at 8pm and we didn't think of dinner until 7ish - online order is easy, got text when food is ready. Did not go into the restaurant the store looks small only a few tables, so I understand the other reviews for waiting for table. The packing for the food is really good but for HK milk tea, I hope they have tape the cup off because it spilled some. HK milk tea - it's strong not too sweet very good Egg tart not too sweet it's crispy very good Chicken dumplings are good as well not very crispy as pan fried maybe because of Togo Wonton noodle is my favor noodle still not too soft even it's to go, wonton has the HK taste bonce texture and has the fishy taste Curry not spicy but has a good favor the beef brisket is very soft, I wish it has more tendons for the beef curry. Overall we like everything. Will go try in person when we get a chance

    Came here for lunch and it was very busy. Fortunately wait time was only 10-15 mins. The staff were nice enough to give us cool water while we sat outside on these tiny tables and chair. Very cute. The food was pretty good. My favorite is the egg tarts. I would dare to say they are the best I've had in the Bay Area.

    Curry Beef Brisket And Tendon 5/5 and Hk Milk Tea 5/5

    My friend tried this place over the weekend and waited about 45 minutes. She loved it so much that she wanted to come back with me, so we decided to try it on a weekday. We arrived five minutes before they opened at 10:30. Since there are shops nearby, we took a short walk and stopped by Dean's Produce. When we came back about 10 minutes after opening, the restaurant was completely empty. It made sense since it was still pretty early for lunch. We received such a warm welcome from the staff. The service was friendly, and we got to choose any table we wanted. Of course, we had to order the Hong Kong milk tea. I loved that it came in the classic black-and-white cup, just like a Hong Kong cha chaan teng. If you know, you know. That little detail made me feel right at home. The milk tea was really good. It was not exactly the same as what you would get in Hong Kong, but it was pretty close for the U.S. We both ordered the curry brisket and tendon. The dish looked amazing in photos and was very satisfying in person. My only wish was that the curry could have been hotter. It seemed like it needed a little more time to heat through. The rice was piping hot though, and the curry flavor was delicious. I honestly did not expect to finish it, but I ended up eating every last bit of curry. Overall, a very enjoyable lunch with friendly service and comforting Hong Kong flavors. We will definitely be back to try more dishes. Highly recommend!

    Yummy foods,great service and lot of choices on the menu..................... Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    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。

    For a small cafe the food was good but the menu variety is quite small. It was very busy and they didn't have several dishes that we tried to order. We had to waive down a server to take our order and the food did take some time to prepare. I was surprised how small the portion of spicy wontons were. I think there was maybe 5 or 6 pieces? I would recommend the curry beef and noodle soup.

    In today's competitive food market, being good is not good enough to stand out. Although the HK style noodles had the correct texture and pull, the won tons fell short. Both the beef stew in regular sauce and curry sauce were tender, but lacked the deep and rich full flavor of other top line kitchens. Service didn't scream "welcome", but it wasn't rude either like most Asian establishments. Ambiance was comfortable, clean and simple. Parking is always a challenge in this Millbrae and during meal hours.

    A friend is a frequent diner here, someone who shares a similar palate to mine. He'd text me photos of what he was eating which looked delicious and mouthwatering. On a Sunday evening, another friend was with me for an event a few blocks away and I suggested that we stop here for dinner. We found parking about a half block away around 6:30 pm. I saw an iPad unit and a notepad on the desk with names, crossed out and not. I saw a couple of empty tables but started to write my name there when a young lady greeted me and asked the # in our party (2). She led us to a table near the window, the 2nd one away from it, before bringing us tall cups of hot tea. There were two menus already on the table so we studied them before deciding on our meals. I started with the smashed iced lemon tea (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=aqHrRkHRLyjmSWS-c251mQ); the lemon slices were literally smashed so the lemon juice/flavor was prominent here. I nursed it for most of the night as hot tea was given too. Kudos to them for serving it in a plastic cup with a lid so I could bring it with me to go afterwards. The sugar level (requested at 50%) was perfect for me. For my dinner, I had the curry beef brisket & tendon rice (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=XQlaxBfxtd-hOgA6xJkIQQ), slow braised beef brisket and tendon in curry with potato, carrot; bring a HK themed restaurant, the cook was consistent with what you'd likely find on the island, a thinner and mild curry sauce; I debated between having the wonton noodle soup (often pictures shared from the friend who recommended this place) and this. Do note that their rendition is consistent with Hong Kong style cuisine with a thinner curry sauce (more watery) as opposed to the Japanese version that's thick and often potato based. The flavors are there but was not spicy so I poured a few spoonfuls of garlic sauce (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=M3_BqhBHeSi1V1nHbMQISA) on one side of the plate and added as I ate. The brisket and tendon were fork tender as there is more brisket than tendon (3 pcs. to my order). The carrots and potatoes were nice accompaniments. I also liked that they put the rice on one side so the diner can mix with the sauce and protein to his/her liking. Service was standard as the cup is pretty tall so tea refills were not needed. I ended up bringing my lemon tea home with me. In meeting a friend later in the week, he shared pro tips for my next time here. I'll add it on an update if it's worthy. Looking forward to exploring more items especially the sweets.

    Delicious 點解來吃?好味囉 木薑子鳳爪凍食新穎。魚片粥,青粥一碗,加脆魚片。所有嘢應該有嘅味道,有。唔應該有嘅味道,冇。 Wonderful new place that everyone must try.

    love their greens - so tender with a hint of ginger
    tere p.

    quite the hype - there is always a line in place here- so far , one of the cleanest chinese food in Milbrae we tried in our 8 months here - they serve the real Assam Milk tea, their chow mein is the cheapest so far across that Broadway area - though they don't use green scallions like Laka did, it was good to share and their greens are so tender and easy to bite. Their beef place is also tender but not a fan of their flat noodles. Servers are nice and attentive

    Super authentic Cantonese dessert! Friendly service and nice environment! Would definitely come back again!

    Pork & Shrimp Wonton Noodle
    Julian L.

    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.

    The wonton noodle soup and curry beef stew was pretty good. Too bad the portion was very small. Hopefully it's better now time.

    I agree with the other commenters that this restaurant seems to have some consistency issues…read more Ordered the pork ribs clay pot rice and added lap cheung to it. The first thing I noticed was that there was really not many pieces of ribs, maybe they made the ribs portion smaller to make room for the lap cheung I ordered? The dish description also says that it includes taro, but I didn't have a single piece of taro in my pot. Strangely, although this place seems to share a kitchen with Social Eatery, the rice was cooked much more poorly here, which is obviously a shame for a place specializing in clay pot rice. It seems like the rice had too much water added, so it was a bit overcooked - you couldn't feel the "single grain" mouthfeel texture you should expect from well-cooked, high quality rice. Since the rice was too mushy, it obviously didn't crisp well either. Though it had some small amount of bits stuck to the edges of the metal (not clay!) pot, it was definitely not the super crispy, well browned "faan ziu" I expect, and not at all like the pictures featured in some earlier reviews of this restaurant.

I also appreciate how thoughtfully they pack their claypot meals to go, which used to make ordering delivery feel like a safe bet. Unfortunately, the quality has really fallen off. The first few times I ordered, the bowls were packed with flavor and protein. This most recent delivery was a huge disappointment where the food had a laughably small amount of meat and mostly dry, bland rice. For what they charge, it felt like a total rip-off. Sad to see such a solid spot become so hit-or-miss, because the claypots used to be genuinely great.

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!

    I love the food options here! It's not often you find a spot serving this much Northern Chinese…read morecuisine and almost everything my party ordered was excellent. 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.

    Sunday morning 11:20 arrived at the restaurant, first time that we were able to find a parking spot…read morein the lot. And we got greeted and welcomed right away. Inside has modern decoration and clean . The waiter served us tea right after we seated, maybe there were not a lot of people, the service is surprisingly decent-- he offered kids utensils and collect the empty plates right after we finished. The traditional dishes like egg tart, sweet rice cake, dessert were good, also highlighted on the pork belly dish-- crispy skin and juicy meat. The not so great adventurous dish -- fried duo chun fish, bitter ending taste. Other than that, this restaurant still on my top list whenever craving for dim sum or Cantonese dishes. This restaurant staff is very friendly to kids and the food selection is kids friendly.

The sides of the table had a bar across it so the 3rd person in the side couldn't pull their chair in. Ambience terrible, they were setting up for an event so there was a guy testing karaoke and mic checking half the time. When I paid the bill, they brought the check back without my credit card, they had to go find where it dropped out. And I couldn't lower my tip because it was a pre-set service charge, even tho just for 3 ppl.

    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!

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.

The name change (signage) and menu will change when the business license is approved and new menus bearing the new business name are printed. They did add the 'New SF' prefix the name to distance themselves. Coming here on a Saturday after making dinner reservations on a late Saturday afternoon, I saw a number of familiar faces immediately. Half of their staff are from the Monterey Blvd. Won Kok Restaurant. This was my 1st time dining here in likely close to thirty years when it was another restaurant. Back to our meal, we were seated at the far end corner of the restaurant, prime location for spacing and restroom access. In crafting our menu, my friend chose several staple dishes from their original location; besides those, my friend was gifted a Bay-caught halibut so I asked the restaurant for suggestions in cooking it. The chef suggested cooking it two-ways. I knew the captain from his two previous restaurants (20+ years) and he guided us. Here's what we ate (family style): 1. Steamed surf clams with garlic and vermicelli noodles (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=lPyTuWkX4RoUtP-3fZ2UiA) - These were served in two halves on each plate (four plates for eight shells) for our party of eight. Tasty, flavorful, and fresh as their flagship location in San Francisco. 2. Soy sauce supreme seasoned prawns, 2.5 lbs (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=wYtIFMiiYTuhOa_CmggLrQ) - I actually requested "West Lake" shrimp but was subbed out by this. This was good, just not what we wanted and expected and definitely pricier. 3. Salt and pepper halibut (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=9scLPxW30ktLJK72UIrSBw) - Half of our provided fish was cooked this style. It was done well as you'd expect from the most famous R&G chef to go through their kitchen. 4. Sauteed pea sprouts with garlic (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=GDqjVZCqWnGvZ68sbHjqCw) - Pretty standard version and the pea sprouts were cleaned and trimmed well without any inedible or chewy pieces. 5. Pan fried pork spare ribs with soy sauce (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=x3xQew_Es07lW2dPJwB7BA) - This was the captain's recommendation and it was good but didn't stand out in any particular way. The ribs are cut into bite sized pieces and flash fried. 6. Simmered beef stew & turnip with pepper in broth (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=CAg60fXr0CfXtrcPVm2kEQ) - One of the signature dishes from the chef's days on Kearny Street that he continued at his Monterey Blvd. location. The portions are certainly enough for our large party as a family style dish. The broth is definitely the star and, for me, the radish (daikon). 7. Steamed halibut with black bean sauce (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=amzaLddp_H2vdSGzrKyYfQ) - The size of the fish made this tricky as, when the captain tried to remove the bones in serving, we learned that the fish was not fully cooked. He brought it back to the kitchen and they cooked this to a perfect cooking temperature. The flavors were nice and the black bean sauce didn't overpower the fish. 8. Golden fried rice with a touch of egg white (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=CZdyzi720mOckNXxHulS4g) - Another restaurant recommended dish, we were amazed at how tasty this was, given the simplicity of its description. Apologies for not having a full serving photo as the captain offered and agreed to him apportioning it in bowls for each diner. 9. Crispy skin roast chicken with garlic (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=TspHX9eknS496I3zXwVwlQ) - This is their innovative twist on the Cantonese favorite jia zhi chicken with a strong garlic flavor. The carving of the decorative chicken head (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=DaywI5br-WQb9hh0a5sgng) was impressive. 10. Green bean tapioca soup (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=12ljEfFOj8tqwIaBXHvTVw) - Complimentary, a nice ending. 11. Red bean paste pastries (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=MwjmcyVoyHVXnmPRWYuM8w) - Complimentary and okay. The theme here, given the restaurant size, is for banquet style meals and prices reflect it. By the time we left, the dining room and the staff were swamped. Highly recommend making reservations especially weekends. More likely to dine at their flagship but will come for special occasions or with South Bay friends.

The Chinese Sausage Claypot Rice was also delicious, it has the satisfyingly crispy rice crust at the bottom. We enjoyed the Mixed Vegetables with Seafood, the scallops and shrimp were fresh and flavorful. The Daily Soup with chicken and Chinese herbs was very flavorful and seemed like it was simmered for a long time. However, the server misled us on the portion size, claiming it was appropriate for 3 people when it was actually a massive steam pot for 10 people! Felt like she intended to make us over-order. The Stir-Fried Kailan with Garlic was tough to eat because the vegetable stems were left whole and way too big/long. Overall, the food quality is great and the portions are big, but be careful with the staff's recommendation.

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.
