I got the potato salad and the zhajiangmian, and my boyfriend got the Lanzhou beef noodles and pork burger. I wish they put the components of the dish in the menu online so you could opt out, because both my zhajiangmian and potato salad came with bean sprouts (which I hate!!). I just picked through all of them and ate the remaining dish afterwards- the potato salad was yummy and the zhajiangmian was savory and came with lots of minced pork! My boyfriend enjoyed his Lanzhou beef noodles a lot, the beef was tender and the broth was incredibly flavorful and delicious. He liked the pork burger a lot as well, they did not skimp on the meat and the bun was fluffy! I would highly recommend this dish to anyone, it's a classic that is done well! This is a great addition to the downtown Millbrae array of authentic Chinese restaurants, I will be coming back!

Jinweide Lanzhou Beef Noodles in Milbrae is located on Broadway and serves hand pulled noodle. We…read morearrived right during the lunch rush but got a table right away. The menu is very simple with choices of broths and noodle thickness. There is a guy constantly hand pulling noodle. We ordered the following items : Lanzhou beef noodles with thin noodles mildly spicy. The broth was good the sliced beef was good. The thin noodles were overcooked. Sauerkraut fish set comes with a side of garlic cucumbers and two lamb skewers. The broth for the sauerkraut fish was good but the texture of the fish was weird. It's supposed to be snakehead fish but had a texture like frog. Spicy marinated potatoes strings was good Marinated wood ear fungus salad was excellent Nice clean interior. Street parking plus some small city lots are available. Service was good. Considering the speciality of hand pulled noodles the execution of the noodles was minus stars.

Han Sang in Millbrae was our late-night dinner stop, and I'm so glad we made it before their 10 PM…read moreclosing time. We were seated right away, and the restaurant itself is clean, nice, and spacious. I can imagine it getting packed during peak hours--and honestly, it should. I'm going straight to the point: Han Sang has the best Galbi Jjim I've ever had. I've been to other places (which shall remain unnamed) that proudly claim they have the best Galbi Jjim, but I'm happy to say I've finally found the one. At the same time, I'm a little sad because I live in SoCal, which means I can't just come here whenever the craving hits. This dish checked every box imaginable. The beef was incredibly flavorful, fall-apart tender, and they gave a generous amount of meat. And when I say meat, I mean actual meat--not a pile of bones disguised as a serving. (Yes, that's coming from past restaurant trauma.) You definitely get your money's worth here. The rice cakes were cooked perfectly and soaked up all that rich, savory sauce. Then came the surprise waiting at the bottom: glass noodles. Not the usual thin ones either--these were thicker, chewier, and absolutely delicious. Every bite was packed with flavor. The entire dish was so satisfying it genuinely made me happy. We also ordered the Chadol and Yangji Suyuk, a beef brisket soup that was exactly what we needed on a cold evening. The brisket was tender, and as expected, the broth arrived lightly seasoned so you can adjust it to your liking. After adding a little salt, pepper, and some ssamjang, it became the perfect comforting bowl of soup. Warm, hearty, and incredibly satisfying. Unfortunately, we didn't get to try their Bossam because the portions were huge and we could barely finish what we ordered. That's not a complaint--if anything, it's the perfect excuse to come back. Maybe this is what people mean when they say they left their heart in San Francisco. Mine might actually be sitting in a bowl of Galbi Jjim at Han Sang.

It can get a little busy during lunch hour but we were able to get a table for our party of 2 in around 10 minutes. Their menu had a variety of dishes, most prominent were the assortment of noodle dishes from dry to soupy or spicy. Leek Pancake - This was made so well, it was thin yet crispy and held together well. The leeks gave a subtle flavor and were a little tough to bite through but it tasted so good, especially dipped in the side sauce. Yangji Chadol Sul Long Tang - At first glance, this setup is so nice with the assortment of sides at the top to the different items you can add into the soup. I loved the fish cake side as well as the kimchi which they do give refills of. It was nice being able to add seasoning in the soup to match my taste and so perfect combined all together with the radish side sauce. The meat is pretty generous and soft as well with the thin chewy noodles. Such a healing comforting dish. In addition to the food, the workers were so kind and attentive, always helping us to refill our side dishes when needed. Probably one of the best sul long tangs I have had and I keep coming back time and again for it.

It's hard to find a restaurant that serves Hainan Chicken in the peninsula and I'm glad we found…read morethis place. My gauge is comparing it to Rooster and Rice (or What The Cluck) which is no longer available in the area. We did take out and ordered online. I wasn't sure what to expect. 1) Pork knuckle soup - the hubby raved about it and enjoyed it, saying it was very tasty. 2) cucumber salad - the grand kids love their cucumber salad - thank goodness we ordered a side of it since they finished what was in the hainan chicken special plate 3) Hainan chicken over rice was smooth and tasty. It came with cucumber and wood ear mushroom at least 8 pieces of chicken, fungus salad, some peanuts, one small egg roll, green onion paste and tasty rice cooked in some chicken stock/fat. It also included a small bowl of soup. It was all great in our opinion. When you order online - you get a text message that your order is confirmed. Then you'll get a 2nd text message that it's being prepared and a final text that it's ready for pick up. I scheduled a 5:30 pick up and it was readty at 5:15. When I went to, pick up the order, I can see there were many other orders ready for pick up. The restaurant is small and at a glance looked like maybe 10+.tables. If you join the rewards program, you can earn reward points toward food. So if you plan to eat or order online more than once, might as well join their reward program. I joined - why not? -and I immediately saw that I earned points from our dinner. I would actually give it a 4.5.

First time trying Hainan Chicken here on a Friday night…read more Wait list moves pretty fast depending on the crowd, because the service is quite fast with food coming out within 5 minutes of our order being placed. Dishes we tried: 1 The Hainan Chicken Rice Plate - surprised? It is served slightly chilled and has the signature gelatinous skin. Something was lacking in the flavor, even combined with the ginger scallion oil included. It wasn't bad but not stellar. 3/5 2 Braised Beef Brisket and Tendon Over Rice - nice balanced flavor; briskets were soft and tendons had the perfect texture. 4/5 3 Spicy Pork Ear - heavy on the peppercorns, otherwise it would have been great. 3/5 They close early at 8pm so need to plan for an early/regular dinner. A number of people stopped by after 8pm expecting to be seated thinking 9pm is closing. Street parking is usually reasonable to find with nonmetered street parking or a couple blocks into residential neighborhood. Will come back one more time to try different dishes if we're in the neighborhood.

The shrimp rolls and grilled pork meatballs were my favorite as they were delicious. I was not happy with the Pho Dac Biet because the broth tasted watered down and was also not hot enough. On the positive side, it had a generous serving of tender meats, and the vegetable accompaniments were fresh. If I am in Millbrae and wanting Vietnamese food, I will give them another try.

I love their special with the pho bowl and the five-spice chicken or the pork. Delicious! The flavors are solid and you get a plentiful amount.

Customary at most Vietnamese restaurants, you get your food with minimal check ins and not even a plate clearing until the bill comes. This was NOT the case here. There service was definitely in the A/A+ range! I ordered on my phone via QR code, but there was an option to order in person from a server. I ordered many items to try out. I ordered spring rolls, crispy salt and pepper wings, grilled pork banh mi, beef dac beit pho, and a Thai iced tea. Thai Iced Tea was pretty good. Grade: A I thought the Spring Rolls were decent, but what made them even better was the peanut sauce! I always hate when the peanut sauce is watery and this was far from that! An excellent gooey peanut sauce and maybe one of the best I've had fpr consistency. Grade: A- Crispy salt and pepper wings definitely had an incredible crunch. They were up there in crunchiness. The drumettes were meaty which I appreciated. They were well seasoned also. I think I need to try their other wings before crowning these, but some of the cruncheist wings I've had for sure. Grade: A- Beef Dac Biet Pho had some real high quality meat in it. I had options in noodle and my go-to for any pho spot is the egg noodles. I wish it had more bo vien in it, but I appreciated the combo of meats. The broth seemed authentic, but I wanted a tad more flavor out of it without adding sauces. Overall, the pho grade was a B+ bordering an A-. The star of the show was the grilled pork banh mi. The meat was tender and saucy. In fairness I asked for extra pickles and mayo, but I was very impressed. The bread had the crispy crunch we all look for but minus the stale bread. The breads soft yet crispness made it seem as if it just came out of the oven! I'm going to dub this as the best I've had in the Bay Area! There I said it! Grade: A+ Everyone who ordered the sampler seemed very pleased at other tables, I would definitely try that. Also, want to try the other banh mis and noodle options for the pho. There was a nice vibe at this place. I didn't feel rushed although they do close fairly early at 8pm. The server's mom is the one cooking in the kitchen and I appreciated the family feeling at this place. They do have a newer location in San Francisco that has a DJ Friday nights that I may check out. I believe the server said that they are open til 2am on most nights, but I may have misheard her. Feel free to Yelp that location. My only disappointment was that I really love papaya salad and it was not an option. I may make this my go-to spot from now on, but as a Yelper, we all know we will keep trying new places. This will be the one I continue to frequent. Well done Pho de Nguyen!

We can't really complain, but it also wasn't memorable enough for us to come back. The broth was decent, but if you're a pho lover, you know the broth is what makes or breaks the experience and this one just didn't stand out. After lunch we went grocery shopping, and that's when things took a turn. My husband suddenly started sweating, and my stomach began making all kinds of unhappy noises. We hadn't eaten anything else that day, so we suspect something from the meal didn't sit well with either of us. That said, we can't say for certain that the restaurant was the cause. The restaurant itself looked clean, and the service was perfectly fine. Unfortunately, between the average broth and how we both felt afterward, it's just not a place we'll be returning to.
