This is my new fave spot! The food here is great and there's a good variety, feels like an Asian food court but the ambience is way nicer. Great place to just eat, drink, get dessert in one place. Will be coming back as a regular! read more

Food hall with 3 mini restaurants and some entertainment options for kids. This review is for the curry chicken cutlet served by Social Eatery. The chicken itself was a little dry and rather thin, but the curry was delicious, and the rice was well cooked. The potatoes were the perfect vehicle to soak up all the curry sauce!! This particular curry was more Malaysian in style, don't expect a Cantonese or Japanese curry. It also came with 10-12 leaves of raw spinach on the side, which was kind of a strange addition for me. I think I would have preferred a cooked green veggie on the side. read more

Staff member placed a tablet on the table and walked away w/o saying a word assuming we'd "figure it out" I guess. I've had better service at a grocery store checkout counter. Maybe more suited for younger invert generation who prefer less social interaction? Food: bland soups. Limited menu. Meh, won't return. read more

Promotion shows Mon-Fri 2:30-5:30, went in and was given an iPad to order but the afternoon tea menu was not on there, asked the waitress, showed her the afternoon treat menu photo, she said they don't have it today?!?! But she was not able to explain as to why it was not available. Ummmm, it was M-F 2:30-5:30 the time we went. She was not able to explain why it was not available?! She just said it is not available. So was it not available that day? That week? Or month? No further explanation. Ummmm it was promoted on IG telling ppl to come in and once you get there, they said it's not available, super weird. We went within the week of the IG post. False advertisement Will not be back. Went to New Broadway Bistro near by instead. read more

Social Eatery - Afternoon tea menu that was however NOT available for some reason when we went, mon-fri 2:30-5:30pm - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

Always a fun time eating here. So many options from rice bowls, appetizers, noodles, and boba. We got an iPad / used our phone to scan the QR code to order. We got the combo meal for ~$55 before tax. It comes with two noodle bowls, appetizer, side, 2 bobas from Grapeholic, and optional 2 desserts. They have at the register usually 3'basket of free fruit, you can only choose 1; apple or banana or an orange. Thanks! read more

I've been here in 2023 and I was here again a few days ago. I really enjoy their variety of drinks and food out here. You can tell it's authentic by the number of Asian folks you see out here. I absolutely loved their mango sago tea - I've always had it as dessert and I really enjoyed it. I also got the katsu chicken noodles - the broth was spicy and flavorful. The quantity is very generous and honestly I could barely even finish half of what I got. Highly recommend this amazing spot for noodles and milk teas! read more

I really liked this place! I got the clay pot rice and it did take 18 minutes for it to come out. I wish it did have more flavoring but thats okay! Plenty of meat but not enough rice. We came on a Tuesday so it wasn't crowded at all! We also got milk tea and a grapefruit fruit tea. The place is really well decorated and I really like the cow chairs. This place was more on the pricey side and my total came out to be 50 dollars for two people. read more

Stopped by for lunch and ordered a variety of things. We tried the beef noodle soup, clay pot rice, lamb cumin noodles, pork and shrimp dumplings, and cucumber appetizer. The beef noodle soup was too sweet for our liking, but the beef was pretty tender. The lamb biang biang noodle was our favorite dish across flavor and noodle texture. The clay pot rice was pretty small for the price, and the crispy rice at the bottom was a bit soggy. Given the atmosphere of Social Eatery, we were surprised that the food took a while to come out (20+ min for the first item). There's minimal service here since you order off a QR code or tablet. The interior has a decent amount of seating. read more

I've never tried Social Eatery and my guy has tried it once a while back and enjoyed their rib noodle soup, so we had lunch there today. It was quiet on a Thursday at 12:30 pm, so plentiful tables available for our choosing. Festive Halloween decor inside and out! Love the vibes of Social Eatery! The server gave us a tablet to place our order. ***OUR PICKS*** BEEF PLATE RIB, BIANG BIANG THICK NOODLES IN STRONG SPICY SOUP ~ the beef was so tender and not at all dry like some beef stew can be. The soup had the perfect spice and the thick noodles had a good chew. Yummy! 5/5 BEEF STEW AND TENDON WITH RAMEN NOODLES IN REGULAR NON SPICY SOUP ~ I added extra bok choy because I like extra vegetables. I enjoyed the texture of the ramen noodles, and the meat was SO GOOD and SOFT! I appreciated the option to order more vegetables. LOVED THIS! 5/5 MANGO POMELO SAGO ~ Less sugar and less ice. Not too sweet and pretty filling. No complaints! Very nice drink to end the meal. 5/5 OSMANTHUS SLUSH ~ from the first sip to the last drop, I fell hard for this drink! Osmanthus flavor is interesting and it's not a usual flavor that you'd typically see at a boba shop. I was thoroughly satisfied with this drink! Whipped cream and osmanthus jelly made it even more special. Definitely will order this again! 5/5 SO happy that I finally tried this spot! I'd like to add this to our rotation list. It exceeded my expectations! Can't wait to try other things on the menu too. We'll be back! read more

Sis chose this place for her birthday dinner. We ordered the Special for 2 which comes with a choice of 2 entrees, 2 appetizers, 2 drinks, and 2 fruit. We went with the: 1) Beef stew with biang biang noodles - kiddos liked the beef and the noodles were chewy. 2) Clay pot rice with pork hash - liked the crispy rice 3) Fries and popcorn chicken - both arrived hot and crispy Tried the Pure Grape drink which was refreshing. We also added on the pepper beef dumplings and the pork and vegetable dumplings. Didn't realize it would be served in soup. The beef ones had good flavor but were quite peppery. The pork ones were flavorful, too. Ended our meals with plates of sliced orange - sweet. Good amount of food for the 5 of us to share. read more

Social Eatery is a cute and causal place to go if you wanna grab a meal. Their menu is extensive, claypot rice, soups, noodles, and boba. You order everything via phone or they will provide you a tablet for ordering. Everything is pretty efficient. I went on a Sunday afternoon and there was no wait. Pickled Veggies Sliced Beef with Rice Noodles: 5/5 LOADED with sliced beef and abundant amount of toppings. The portion was huge. Savory broth with a little kick! Chicken & Mushroom Claypot Rice w/ Chinese Sausage: 4/5 Honestly it was alright. Its missing ginger. Rice tasted normal, nothing special. I feel like the chicken was under seasoned. Cumin Lamb Pancake: 3/5 There were a lot of onions in this dish, the bread was dry, and the lamb could have been seasoned more. read more

Craving that authentic Chinese clay pot rice or handpulled noodles? Well, Social Eatery is the place to go to. This place offers delicious baked rice and noodles that rifle some of the best restaurants in the Bay Area. They also offer boba and fresh fruit drinks. The service was great too, we were greated and seated immediately upon arriving. Ordering was very simple. You can scan the bar code and order from your phone or order directly from the tablet they give you. The restaurant is kept very clean, no sticky floors or dirty tables. The workers make sure the floors are swept and tables are cleared and cleaned immediately for the next customer. If you're looking for some great tasting Asian food, you must give Social Eatery a try. read more

One-stop shop, this is Social Eatery! It is indeed social with quite a few people enjoying and dining even in the late afternoon as we were there for an early dinner. Then it got busier and busier. The noodles were good, the clay pot rice was good, but the drinks........ were super surprisingly (commercial break) ....... good!! Who knew that a grape drink would be so good?! Well, they did, and yep, we are planning to go back for it. Their set meal deal was also good! The wood ear appetizer was really good - highly recommended - and just another type of edible mushroom-like thing. read more

Two for one sounds good. How about three for one? Well, one visit here basically can become four reviews. Social Eatery is the building/business that houses three food and beverage themes. The three businesses here are Rice Monster, Noodleosophy, and Grapeholic. I don't know whether they are independent of each other or run by one group or owner. Judging by the separate websites, it seems to be three separate entities though. We stopped her after an event across the street on a Sunday evening but they were closing as I reached the door (a lady staff person was flipping chairs on the tables before they mop the floor) right about 8 pm. We ended up going across the street to the dumplings and noodle place instead. Two evenings later, we arrived earlier, a little before 6 pm on a Tuesday late afternoon. We were seated at the 1st booth style table along the right side of the dining room where there were three other tables with customers already dining. Our host led us here as another lady left a tablet on our table (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=T_EFPyhsXkEdYk1vIpGfFg). I explained the format to my friend who isn't tech saavy (neither am I though but an empty stomach does funny things). I read some of the choices out to him and he decided to order a bowl of noodles from Noodleosophy while I was determined to try one of the claypot rice meals from Rice Monster. In addition, I added a drink from Grapeholic and an appetizer to share from Noodleosophy. You have a choice of paying immediately or waiting like I did in case we added more food or drinks to our meal. While waiting, I admired their open kitchen (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=WYsZhbihReKJyqk4jfM8wA). I also noticed the layout with about six tables for four with a couple of long community tables with stools running down the center area. There was an odd-shaped table immediately to the right of the entrance (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=KQERb6MAYTgLd-7Iv0CGoQ). As we dined, parties came and left as well as several people picking up takeout orders likely ordered online. Our food came pretty quickly with my rice, which had a warning that it takes 18 minutes to prepare. We both enjoyed our meals and the atmosphere and it's always nice when there is a provided parking lot albeit with about ten to twelve spaces only. There was street parking available too. We will be back likely sooner since there's another event nearby right after Labor Day. read more

Whoever is the interior design did a great job. Felt cultural & clean inside. The food was delicious & fulfilling. I hear from the tables next to me that their soup is good. I think one of them was too spicy for that one guy. Feels nice & cozy in here. Good enough to bring your laptop. There is 2 different companies serving but you can select what you want all on their iPad or QR code. One's a boba place & the other serves a sort of Asian/Indian infusion food. They have little activity stations like foosball, cute claw machine games & you can even use one of their board games. Definitely check out if you're in the mood for a good chill dinner or lunch. It's also very short & easy walk from Milbrae Bart/caltrain station. read more

Parking was very confusing at first. It was a pretty dead night or maybe we were there early for dinner. As soon as we walked in, we just went to a table and seated ourselves. But the waitress did check up on us frequently to ensure we were doing alright and she was very pleasant. Helped us with getting extra bowls for the kiddos. I ordered the unagi bowls and it was good. I'm not a fan of crunchy rice because it gets stuck in my teeth but it was still good nonetheless. My sister got the soup and to my surprise it was delicious. And that comes from someone who does not like soup at all. The broth had really good flavor. The atmosphere was very calm and chill. Tons of games to play and it looks like a cool place to come with your friends and just geek out on board games. read more

Interesting food court of sorts. They house Noodleosophy, Rice Monster and Grapeholic; without the speed of a food court. You have to wait for a table before you can order, which can definitely take a while since the space is quite small. Then you order from a tablet once you're seated. Everything is on one menu, so it's not a clear distinction which of the places you're even ordering from. We had the Unagi bowl (advertised as taking 18 minutes), which is pretty standard, but I liked that it came in a clay pot so you can scrape off all the crispy rice. Beef noodle soup we had was pretty good. Choice of ramen or rice noodles-- the ramen noodles we chose were pretty thick, definitely more like udon noodles, so I didn't care for that much, but did enjoy all the crispies floating in the flavorful soup (I assume crispy shallots/garlic type things). There's also a completely vegetarian soup option which is nice, and you can always add on more vegetables/meats to your soup as well. Shrimp and pork dumplings were average- this was the one I wasn't sure which restaurant it was technically from, I assume Noodleosophy- they were soft and tender, but the dish was small. Parking is very limited street parking mostly. Not on, but walkable to DT Millbrae (10 minute walk) read more

Social Eatery food hall is a gem located in Millbrae offering a variety of Chinese cuisine all in one easy-to-reach location. Social Eatery has a parking lot for patrons, which makes dining in easy. Upon entering the food hall, patrons will be guided to a table, and provided with a tablet on which they can place their orders from a variety of establishments contained within Social Eatery. After the order is placed, a staff member will bring the food and beverages straight to your table! When it's time to check out, you can either do so via their app/online or request a staff member to come and help you close out your bill. Social Eatery has the following 3 restaurants within: (1) Noodleosophy - a local Bay Area chain focusing on hand-pulled noodle dishes; (2) Rice Monster - specializing in Catonese claypot rice; and (3) Grapeholic - a tea shop with grape-centered drinks to round it out. We came here on a Saturday afternoon looking for a one-stop shop for our weekend lunch and decided to try something from each one of the establishments - after all, isn't that the beauty of food halls? We got the beef tendon noodle soup and prok and shrimp dumplings from Noodleosophy, the cha siu and steamed egg claypot rice from Rice Monster, and finished up our meal with two drinks from Grapeholic - cotton candy grape slush, and grape and lemon tea. (1) Noodleosophy - the beef tendon noodle soup was rich and flavorful, while the accompanying noodles were perfectly cooked and chewy - providing a great mouth feel to the dish. The dumplings were delicious as well, and were a nice addition to the meal as a whole. (2) Rice Monster - the cha siu and steamed egg clay pot rice was in a single word - satisfying. The salty-slightly-sweet cha siu paired well with the mild flavors of the egg, and the salty soy sauce you pour over the rice. I will say the rice could have been a little more scorched to provide the accompanying crunch that you expect from this dish; however, if you're really craving claypot rice and are in the area, then Rice Monster will definitely help satisfy that craving for you. (3) Grapeholic - the cotton candy grape slush was amazing - true to it's name it captured the cotton candy grape flavor in a delicious slush form that was both sweet and refreshing. The grape and lemon tea was also good; however, the lemon flavor was a bit overpowering and made it difficult to truly enjoy the grape that was in the drink. If you want grape to be the star of the show, then I'd recommend getting one of their grape-centered drinks instead. If you're ever in the Millbrae area and are looking for a great lunch spot, then Social Eatery has to be the next place on your list! read more

Nice place right next to the Dylan hotel, they aren't open for breakfast and can look a bit deceiving since the door facing the street is locked and looks a bit unkept as the entrance is actually near the parking lot. Ordering is through a tablet which you can also pay the tab right after you order or you can keep adding more food. We were meeting our family for a quick bite to eat and the place has several different signs confusing us whether we need to order from each like a food court or we can order a bit from each on the tablet. We got to order everything in on menu and got chicken nuggets (like popcorn chicken), fried chicken breast, beef noodles, and fries. The chicken nuggets were quite small in portion size, it came with a sweet chili sauce that was really good and not so spicy. The chicken breast was actually quite large, it came with a ranch dip which went well with the chicken nuggets too. Fries were straight cut and crispy, it was pretty good and came with ketchup. Beef noodle was ordered with mild spice, still pretty spicy unless you mix the chili thoroughly so you don't choke on a chili flake. And we added a hard boiled egg and extra noodles. For drinks, they gave us a jug of cold water and you can order warm water with a server since it was so cold outside that day. I also got a less sweet, dairy free, milk tea mochi and boba tea, I didn't ask for ice but didn't expect the drink to be so thick and warm. It was still good but filling! It was a bit crowded and we were tight on time so after eating we went back to our hotel and didn't get a chance to check restrooms or the decorations which had snake plushies scattered around for this year! read more

The decor inside was really neat and cute. All decked out for the year of the snake! There wasn't much service as you order from the tablet and they bring you the food. Lots of really good ingredients in the noodle soup but there was no harmony. The broth was not flavorful at all, really bland. The pickled veggies were too sweet, wish it was more sour. I really like the tofu blocks, wish there was more! $16.99. 3/5 I subbed the boba in the black sesame foam boba milk with mochi and it was not what I expected. It was really soft mochi to the point where it felt like slightly thicker milk, would not order the mochi again. Other than that the drink was SO GOOD. Highly recommend, the black sesame flavor was so umami and sweet, beautiful combo. 4/5 read more

Unfortunately, it leaves an "open tab" that i completely forgot to pay before walking out and the hostess had to stop me So if you use the qr code dont forget to actually pay haha!

Social Eatery - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

Combining Rice Monster, Noodleosophy, and Grapaholic, Social Eatery boasts noodles, rice, and boba/slushes all in a single eating area. Lots of room to sit though service can be chaotic. Order via the QR codes at each table, and you can order individually or by table (combined menu for the 3 establishments). I got the beef ramen and crushed cucumbers from Noodleosophy. Being in a large party. I excused the long wait time. The ramen noodle bowl was quite affordable, even with the extra pickled veggies and broccoli I ordered. And the crushed cucumbers were also large enough to share with half a dozen of my party as well. Our party was able to share other entrees from Rice Monster as well, so while the entire eating experience was pandemonium of passing plates and sharing bowls, it was welcomed. I love the variety and idea of Social Eatery. As its name suggests, it's a place to share food with others, and as someone who loves catch-ups over a communal meal, I thought it fit my vibe perfectly. read more

Duplicate review, see Grapeholic. 3 businesses in one with one owner. Grapeholic, Noodle Osophy, Rice Monster. Going to an event tonight but got here an hour early. So we came to this place to hang out and relax before the event. Quality/Quantity - Coconut Mango Latte - My coffee. This was good, but way too fancy for me. Oh, my daughter wrote in the comments section on the kiosk when ordering to add boba and they did!! The manager mentioned to her that this is not a normal/standard thing, but they still honored it. And he did not even charge us, thank you. Grape & Tea Jelly - Added boba for 65¢ more. My daughter liked her drink. Taro & Milk - Our guest enjoyed her drink. Crispy Chicken Nuggets - It was temperature hot as it came fresh out of the fryer. Free fruit, see pictures. We did not take it. Catering and pop-up events are also available, see website. Atmosphere - Cool, young, and hip vibe atmosphere; I fit right in, lol. Cool decor from the exterior to the interior, see pictures. Indoor or outdoor seating. Complimentary games available, my daughter chose two to play (not at the same time). Small parking lot, but not an issue for us. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 8pm or 8:30pm. Service - This is how a business should be run! The manager greeted us as we entered and asked if we would dine-in or take-out. We shared that we just wanted drinks, so he directed us to the self service kiosk. Then my daughter and I ordered. Our guest, after seeing our drinks, wanted one also. But she struggled with the kiosk, and the manager saw this and came out to help her. What great service! My daughter then saw that if we posted on social media, we would get a complimentary crispy chicken nugget (or butterfly shrimp). Well, I was already posting my pictures on Yelp and the manager honored it. Again, great service. Complimentary self-service water. Loyalty program available, see picture or website. Price - $22 for 3 drinks. Not expensive in my book for what we got. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since April of 2022! Noodle Osophy has 3 locations. read more

The Social Eatery has great food, drinks, and a lovely environment for groups. We stopped by on our way home from the airport and am impressed by the three vendors to choose from and the addition of the foosball table. First we ordered the dry lamb cumin noodles - these wide and long noodles came with delicious lamb, onions, and broccoli. We also ordered the Lap Mei clay pot, which wasn't as impressive; I would order this again. The Pure Grape drink was to die for, especially with the recent hot days. We snuck in a game of Uno before our food arrived and also played a game of foosball in the back area after our meal. read more

Social Eatery in person is definitely a lot better than to-go. We opted for the meal for two which allows for two appetizers, two entrees, two drinks, and two fruit for $56. For apps, we went with the classic crushed cucumbers ($6.99) and the curry fish balls ($5.99). For such a warm night, the crushed cucumbers really hit the spot. These are really just marinated with chili oil though and I definitely prefer the ones that include ample minced garlic. The curry fish balls were interesting because it wasn't in the traditional yellow curry. It featured more of a laksa-esque flavor. The curry could have been a tad thicker just to coat the fish balls better but it was also nice drinking the broth after too! For entrees, we tried the chicken and mushroom clay pot and the beef and tendon noodle soup ($16.99 each). The clay pot was really tasty. The chicken was marinated almost like that of chicken bao. I also really enjoyed the light ginger undertones throughout. The clay pot rice itself could have been a tad more crispy and I thought the soy could have been a little more salty but generally it was good. A shake of white pepper also really would have hit the spot. As for the noodle soup, it was chocked full of beef and tendon bites. I really enjoyed the thin noodles in this dish specifically! For drinks, I got the standard grapeholic ($7.25) and bf got the fruit tea ($6.75). Both were very refreshing. For dessert, it was fruit...and you just grab it from the basket lol. It's a bit odd if you ask me haha. If we exclude the price of the fruits, we already got a good value (10% off) at $56 vs $61 a la carte. read more

Noodles? Not bad. A solid 3/5--like that reliable friend who never texts first but always shows up. The pickled veggies were unexpectedly delightful, like a zesty plot twist. The brisket, though? Tougher than a Monday morning. I chewed so long I considered counting it as cardio. Clay pot rice? More like clay puddle rice. No crispiness, just wet rice sadness. The char siu had all the flavor of a paper towel--looked promising, delivered nothing. On the bright side, nothing was overly oily, which I appreciated. My arteries left untouched, my taste buds... slightly disappointed. read more

First day of Vacation! Saw this and decided to stop by and check it out! It was very pretty as we came inside, very clean and very well organized! One thing I was Immediately disappointed by was that there was no waitress at all. We were set to our table then given a tablet to order. No kind waitress to talk to or ask questions. I was very displeased by this. I ordered the Chicken and Pork Ribs and, wow, Wow was it good! With one Really bad exception. Most of the meat had bones in them, some big bones, and some bones that could have been a choking hazard. I don't know if that's a normal thing for small bite sized meat pieces, but it wasn't pleasant. Overall I'd say it was very mediocre. The taste of the food definitely saves it, but lack of any employee interaction unless if you actively get up and ask them, and how bones are left in their meats, even when they're so small, holds it back for me personally. read more

From Worst to Mediocre: Worst: service is terrible. -Hostess brought us to a dirty table. Didn't clean it until she had dropped down the first two dishes and we had to ask her to clean the table. - when she brought the third dish, we had to then ask for small plates to eat the food. - she returned and set them in from of one person to distribute. Ambiance: Loud from people noise but worse, surrounded by sleepy repetitive lounge jazz music. Hockey game in corner of the room right by the table we sat at Food: so so. Nothing special compared to all of its fierce and superior competition in the Millbrae area. General attitude of staff sucks. Good luck - read more

This was such a great find! We were spending the night near the airport to catch an early morning flight. My husband was resigned to finding cheap fast food but I was sure we could do better. I popped open my trusty Yelp app and it led me to Social Eatery. From the moment you drive up it is warm and inviting. Parking was easy and we saw families walking in, which is always a good sign. Inside it was bright and cheerful with a bright red dragon weaving across the ceiling. There was a happy buzz from the many people there enjoying dinner but it was not so loud that it was difficult to talk. There are three vendors to choose from, Grapeholic (tea), Rice Monster (Cantonese rice bowls), and the one we chose, Noodleosophy. We both enjoyed delicious, filling, noodle dishes. A perfect meal for a good rest before a long flight home. read more

Social Eatery - Social Eatery was a great find! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

Social Eatery--it's a great place to catch up with friends, family, and the community. I rate the cleanliness 3 out of 5 and the food 4.5 out of 5. The restaurant has a bit of a sticky feeling inside, so I think they should clean the surfaces more frequently. I really enjoyed my curry ramen, especially after adding on tofu and an egg; my bowl was incredibly flavorful. The portions are generous--one bowl could easily feed two people if you're only mildly to moderately hungry. There were three of us, and we all ended up with leftovers, which felt a bit excessive. I tried their grape drink with cheese crema, which was a unique combination that I hadn't encountered before. While it was fun to try, I wouldn't consider it the best option. read more

Super cute place to hang out. But the food we ordered was okay. I tried the chicken and pork ribs and for $17 I expected more. I didn't get to take a picture because by the time we received our plates I was starving and ready to eat. There weren't a lot of people during the time so I was wondering why our order was taking so long. But seems like all the noodle orders were coming out faster. So maybe next time I'll try their noodles instead. read more
