I loved the food at Won Kok SF so we decided to check out Won Kok Millbrae. Parking: Relatively easy in Millbrae Service: Great for a Chinese restaurant Ambiance: Loud, lively, not for the faint of heart We made reservations for 11 and pre-ordered their infamous roasted squab (uncut). I'm a fan of a juicy squab but have never had it uncut...that takes it to another level of juiciness. This is the dish that keeps me coming back. It's superb. We also ordered the following: *Braised fried tofu, mushrooms and veggie: delicious *Pork char siu: fatty goodness *salted egg yolk shrimp and pumpkin: good *supreme chive dried shrimp stir fry: lots of wok heat *beef short rib: huge hearty portion *fermented tofu ong choy: must order I would definitely recommend Won Kok for a big family or group meal. Food is good and service is even better! read more

Came by for dinner the other night and it was a decent experience. Parking is available on nearby surface streets. Dining is indoors exclusively with a private room available with karaoke. Won Kok seems to have taken over a couple other Cantonese restaurants in the past. The interior seems to be recently remodelled. Was able to get a table as a walk-in on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was 80% full on a Saturday evening. Started off with the vinegar chicken feet and they were decent. I think the dim sum version is easier to eat as the skin falls off the bone more. The roasted squab was decent although it may have been a touch cooked more than typical. The garlic big snow pea shoots were decent albeith some of the stalks were "old" and may need to be trimmed. The fish collar clay pot was decent with a ton of fish (and bones) along with a ton of green onions. Meal ended off with a green bean dessert along with some almond cookies. It was odd as we saw a couple verbal altercations between the staff at different points during the evening. ...hope all is well... read more

2nd Visit - Celebrating Mother's Day with Family The pigeons are the best I've had among Chinese restaurants. The soup is good and not oily at all. The geoduck is fresh and thickly sliced, and the lobster noodles are flavorful and perfectly cooked. The pea tips in broth are okay--slightly less tender and a bit salty. The restaurant is always very crowded, but overall, it's one of the better Chinese restaurants in terms of taste! read more

28 of us came for dim sum lunch. Reservations were made months ago. Parking is somewhat challenging during lunchtime. I did not request nor was aware they had a private room which we gave us. It was perfect and we couldn't be happier. The dim sum was excellent and very affordable. Kevin and Ivy took care of us and we were very pleased with the service. The stand out dim sums was anything shrimp. The shrimp were big in the ha gaw and in the noodles. The chicken feet were big, plump and juicy! The salted fish chicken fried rice and little bits of crispy eggs in it - it was very tasty. The brisket was plentiful with noodle rolls. Very tasty. Every table had leftovers To take home. I loved the pandan egg custard tart - it was tasty! read more

Won kok opened a sister branch at Millbrae (original store at monterey blvd in sf) and we went to have LNY dinner. It was a full house and we ordered quickly at 6pm. Roast squab was done perfectly - juicy and flavorful. The salty pork feet, popular dish at the original branch, wad flavorful and did not disappoint. We got crab over pea sprouts, salt & pepper geoduck, "lo hay" with geoduck, their house stir fry and frog leg. Total came out to be $400 for 7, so ~$60/person. Not bad. My sis said dim sum was also delicious there. Will return to give it a try! read more

I haven't tried this place for dinner yet, and I must say, I am disappointed. The portions are small, and I understand that restaurants are struggling, but this one takes the cake. I also get that you can eat in Millbrae, but I have more options with larger portions than this place. The pork was dry, the chicken dish had more bones than meat, the fish dish had more green onions than fish, and the lamb was hard to eat. Even the food took some time to arrive at the table, which added to my disappointment. The staff only seem attentive to repeat customers; they don't care about new ones. The ambiance is no different from the previous restaurant they just took over. Will I go back? Probably not, unless the service and portions improve. read more

Loved the dim sum service here at Won Kok. The food came out fast and steaming hot. We had a lot of food but my highlights were the baked lava custard bun, rice noodle rolls with spareribs, and the shrimp and pea sprout dumplings. Everything was fresh and great quality. I usually don't order squab at dim sum but theirs was definitely one of the juiciest and tender with a crackly skin. A rare find. Definitely try that! read more

Honestly, every dish we ordered was really good. It's busy on the weekends so you'll have to find street parking. We got regular dim sum dishes as well as other non-dim sum dishes like the cucumber salad, strings beans (10/10), fried rice, honey comb cake, jellyfish, meatballs, bean curd with shrimp paste and other dishes. My fav was the salted egg yolk bun!! read more

The formal name change finally came through for this offshoot of a popular neighborhood restaurant (my hood BTW) that replaces New Asian Pearl Restaurant. I wrote a review of my visit here under that restaurant title with mixed emotions. With visiting friends in town staying in Burlingame, I made an early Sunday night dinner reservation here for our party of 6. Being abnormally cold this year, it turned out our menu was perfect for the climate. Here's what we feasted on, family style: A. West Lake beef soup (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=jDrigonjWwcS0JsiKvDYOQ) - A standard Cantonese favorite, this was a warming start to our meal. Adding dashes of the provided white pepper, gave this a kick besides the warming temperature B. Steamed surf clams with garlic and vermicelli (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=WaQ-p2qDdyO96wnLLWW06A) - One of my favorites from their original location, I am taken aback with the presentation here. Each bowl represents one surf clam (two sides) which serves two; use the provided jalapeno/soy sauce mix to sprinkle over it or to dip the clam meat. The flavors were on point but I prefer this being served 'in shell'. C. Crispy roast pork (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=zszFALsKIQXT8u4ef-6bEw) - This is eye catching presentation wise and it was delicious taste wise too. I mainly dipped it in the provided hoisin sauce. D. Special soy sauce chicken, half chicken (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=6xt2qmVaL2qdF8ekK88Zug) - A signature dish at their SF original location, this stays consistent here. The chef made this famous in that popular Kearny Street Chinatown eatery. E. Roast squab (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=69fbM6W76Zsx8MJfYn2NCA) - Also popularized from the Monterey flagship, this is a must for many familiar regulars. My only disappointment was a confusion on the amount order as we received double the amount that I requested in calling in our meal menu. F. Crispy glutinous rice chicken (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=kxAPq-ll90K5RO44Q_6dEg) - My favorite of their numerous popular staples, this must be ordered at least a day in advance. Theirs is delicious due to the variety of ingredients used in the rice stuffing. G. Beef brisket in broth (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=h8IRYYD23aX_BAhj9IO6JA) - Heart and stomach warming main, the boneless meat pieces are tender and flavorful with a perfect pairing of daikon radish chunks. The broth can be a dish in itself. H. Smoked sea bass (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=hcDjBd26LEt9IAjm4Nxl8A) - Many liken this to the popular miso cod dish on Oahu as the meat melts in your mouth with a slight sweetness from being smoked. I. Poached choy sum in supreme broth (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=RWdT5cxP9Vu_V2AsJSwsyQ) - Another soup dominated dish, the mix of yau choy vegetables with the emoji mushrooms and goji berries make this a clean (not greasy) vegetable accompaniment. J. Green bean soup, dessert (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=eAziwI5yi6-RRmUh3lsuMg) - Homey and filled with soft green beans and lotus seed bits in a medium thick sweet soup. They presented this with a small plate of almond cookies, one per diner There were three or four tables occupied when were seated but the dining room filled up as we ate. Only two tables were not used when we left and a few smaller tables had been turned during our meal. Service was efficient and friendly as half of the staff previously manned their original spot. Plates were changed when filled with bones, teapots refilled, and empty plates removed when needed. It was nice to see several of the original staff from SF and the few unfamiliar staff were equally helpful and friendly. Definitely a good destination to take visiting friends staying near the airport. read more

Just found out today that Won Kok from San Francisco opened up a new store in the Peninsula (where you can actually park lol) I'm rating them a 5 star because both places have great food across their variety, but there's some caveats. The squab is one of their most popular dishes here like in SF, but its cooks differently. Crispier skin here and fast-BBQed according to the staff, unlike their SF location that slow-BBQs it. It's quite different and I prefer the SF style, even though this is still good. It's a larger location than SF, but just like many typical Chinese restaurants that seat big parties, it gets VERY loud in here. If that bothers you, I'd recommend against here. It might be because they just opened recently or that it's the holidays, but service was a bit slow - again, not something I'm foreign to at these type of restaurants, but something to be aware of. Otherwise I'd return for family meals, great food still! read more

Came here for dinner and the place was half full. The inside felt clean and the service was good. Roasted duck - the skin was super crispy and the duck was tender and well seasoned. Sweet and sour pork - I liked how it had a good amount of onions and bell peppers. The pork was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I would've preferred the batter to be a little less thick. Overall, it was a good balance of sweet and sour. Egg white & scallop fried rice - it was decent. It lacked some salt and also the charred flavor from the wok hei. read more

This restaurant has taken over the old Peninsula Pearl spot (this location seems to change ownership quite often). A friend told me the dim sum is better now under new management, so we decided to give it a try. We came for lunch and made a reservation since dim sum places can get pretty packed. The interior looks exactly the same as before -- no noticeable updates. We ordered a couple of dim sum platters, veggies, and porridge. Overall, the food was actually very good this time. Everything was tasty and well-prepared except for the pork knuckle, which was a bit tough. I couldn't help comparing it to a nearby restaurant that is famous for their fried pork knuckle. Prices are about the same as other dim sum spots around the city -- nothing surprising there. The only downside for me was the suggested minimum 18% gratuity added on top of total + tax. I know this has become common at many Bay Area restaurants, but it's still frustrating to see. Overall: better food than before, fair pricing, but not fancy of suggested minimum gratuity. read more

First off, make sure you order the pig knuckles. (I got it to go since I was in a hurry) It takes 40 mins to fry but so worth it. I normally go to the on in SF in Monterey blvd just to eat it. This is a new location that took over New Asian Pearl in Millbrae. We went for dim-sum around 11am and there was a bit of a wait. Once seated, food came hot and quick. Food was good quality and average priced. Definitely will be back for lunch or dinner to try other things read more

I usually walk in through the parking lot entrance in the rear, so at first I didn't even notice they officially changed the name from Asian Pearl to Won Kok Millbrae, but inside still feels the same as Asian Pearl. The English name is actually nonsense and doesn't mean anything, the Chinese name is Wah Kee 华记, probably named after the owner. Like my last visit, it's obvious there's been a change in management. This Millbrae location has a connection to the San Francisco spot on Monterey Blvd, but unlike that one, it's not really packed and this location serves dim sum. Most people seem to find it by word of mouth rather than advertising. The dim sum was freshly made, with standard items like ha gow and siu mai. The pan-fried rice noodles with eggplant had good wok hay. Another item was the pig stomach in pickled vegetables and pepper broth, which was flavorful and comforting without being overwhelming spicy. Overall, the food wasn't too spicy like my last visit, which was an improvement. There is plenty of parking is available both in front and in the rear parking lot, which makes it easy and convenient. Service here is responsive and attentive. The manager is friendly and even checked in with the kitchen about our order, which made the meal feel thoughtful and well-managed. Referred to our party as the boss, which I thought was funny. Overall not a bad place for dim sum and will return to try the dinner menu. read more

Came here for dim sum and also offered an entree, noodle dish and fried rice. It tasted great and they allowed reservations on a Saturday for a party of 6. Service was good and attentive.

Came here for reunion dinner and the food was outstanding! We tried a variety of dishes, but the standout was definitely the Black Truffle Roast Duck (黑松露烧鸭)--perfectly crispy skin with a deep, earthy aroma. The Geoduck Sashimi (象拔蚌) was incredibly fresh and sweet, served beautifully. We also loved the Sautéed Beef Cubes (牛柳粒) and the House Special Stir-fry (小炒皇), both of which had great 'wok hei.' We finished with the Osmanthus Jelly (桂花糕), which was light, fragrant, and not too sweet. Authentic flavors and great execution. Highly recommend!" read more

Max 2 stars. Some dim sum dishes were ok. Siu mai had good flavor, but the dumpling wrapper was falling off. Taro puff was a disaster - hardly any filling, not warm, oily. Fried glutinous rice dumpling was already deflated even before they cut into it. I could keep going about the food. Incredibly noisy and tables are crowded. We weren't even done with one dish, and they lifted it to take it away until I told her we weren't finished with it. A few minutes later, the waitress started to clear the table, taking away our plates, without asking if we were done. So rushed. Four people eating, and we weren't even there for 45 minutes and they rushed us out . Not going back. read more

Have been going to the Won Kok in San Francisco for years and is happy that they added a new location in Millbrae. Food was excellent as always and the new location is larger, brighter and more comfortable. Staples such as geoduck and other fresh seafood from the tank give you plenty of options to choose from. Food arrive quickly and is piping hot. Service is still kinda hit or miss depending on if you know the manager or not. They are still working out some issues but at least they tried hard to fix any problems after I mentioned it to them so give them a pass for now. read more

We had dinner at Won Kok Millbrae tonight and we sat on table E2. Near the end of the meal, a strong blast of air from the ceiling vent blew a noticeable amount of dust onto our table and the remaining food. We called the manager over and showed him the dust. He seemed surprised by what he saw, but no compensation, discount, or other effort was made to address the situation. We still paid the full bill, including the 18% gratuity. Having dust blown onto our food is a serious sanitation concern. The lack of response from management made the experience even more disappointing. read more

Chinese New Year Dinner was Fantastic!!! Service was 5 stars - 5 changes of clean plates when needed due to soiled plates from duck, chicken or fish bones.

Dinner time there are many more varieties of dish. 5 Stars service, 4.8 stars for food qualities read more

I've been to this restaurant several times for both dim sum and dinner. My latest dinner experience was by far the worst, with the experience starting when I stepped inside. We had reserved 3 tables for dinner, and that's what I had mentioned to the suited manager in Cantonese, without mentioning the name it is under as it was a relative who originally made the reservation. The manager snapped back at me in English, stating I should know the name while ruffling through his paperwork. I was caught off guard especially when I doubt there are many, if any other 3-table reservations at 5pm. A kind staff member swooped in, knowing exactly the reservation and that we had actually dined here earlier today for dim sum, and brought us to our private room. The food is decent but not memorable and no way would be so good that I could overlook the rude customer service of the manager, the face of the restaurant. read more

Won Kok Millbrae opened in November 2025 where Asian Pearl was last. Won Kok has had a location on Monterey Blvd in San Francisco for many years. This spot has updated decor from the previous restaurant along with a temporary wall to sub divide the room. The menu is pretty straightforward old school traditional Cantonese dim sum. Not a lot of modern or cutesy dishes. Millbrae has a number of decent dim sum spots within a couple miles, far more than most regions. Always wonder why someone would open another spot in such a saturated area. I'd rank this spot above nearby Hong Kong Palace but not as good as HL Peninsula. Service was about average for Chinese restaurants. Although the food is decent for Millbrae, it is probaby better than most elsewhere. Won Kok is worth a try if you are tired of going to the usual spots like Yan Peninsula, Hong Kon Palace or the Kitchen. Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering. Food Review: Shrimp dumplings or Har gow ( Large) had 4 small ones. Not a lot of flavor and the wrapper broke taking it out. 8/10 Steamed BBQ Pork Buns ( Med) are very large and very doughy. Not great. 7/10 Purple Rice noodle roll with Shrimp ($9.20) are not as modern as HL's but still had a nice crispy texture and color. 8.5/10 Deep Fried Scallop Turnip Cake ( Med) are a fried version on the classic. Couldn't taste that much scallop. 7.5/10 Portugese Egg Tarts (Med) had 3 small ones. 2 lacked much torching. 7.5/10 Deep Fried Sesame Balls (Med) had 3 smaller ones. Lots of filling but not too sweet. 8/10 Fried Glutinous Rice Dumpling (Med) were large and hot out of the fryer. Not enough meat inside. 8/10 Won kok signature empress chicken ($25 half) was large but on the bland side. Even the dipping sauce was subdued. 6.5/10 Beef Chow Fun was of decent size and had a good amount of meat. Not overly greasy. 8/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Very Good Decor - Very Good Service - Good Value - Good Would we come back - Maybe read more

We went at 10:30am on Christmas morning with a group of 11 (made reservations) and honestly, it was far better than we expected. Yes, they were super packed and busy, and it looks like they've brought over the main crew from Won Kok SF, but the dim sum was honestly just as good as it was when this place was Asian Pearl. My assumption is that the chefs stayed the same because Won Kok doesn't do dim sum so they needed the expertise. Their steamer was super backed up that day because of the crowd, but we got seated right away and knew to order immediately. From there, things were seamless and service was expedient. Still one of my go-to spots for dim sum because of the convenience and parking situation. read more

Stopped in for dinner. Didn't care for the table they sat us at. Ordered oxtail with tendon, mapo tofu, vermicelli with mixed veggie, house style rib, and pig trotter with peanuts. Oxtail and tendons were tender and had good flavor. Mapo tofu is different than other restaurants, not bad but I prefer more traditional style. House style ribs were delicious kinda familiar taste but little different. Pig trotters could have been a little more tender but the flavor was good and the peanuts were substituted from lotus root. Overall good food and service was good but we had to flag them down a lot. A bit pricey for Chinese food in my opinion. read more

Our first visit here for dim sum went pretty well. We got here right as they open around 10:30am on a Saturday and the place was empty. It was pretty full by the time we left around 11:45am. The staff were fairly helpful. The food came quickly. I enjoyed most of the items we ordered. I didn't love the black sugar honeycomb cake.

Reasonable prices. Attentive (and polite) service, a standout for a banquet-style restaurant, where volume rules. Decor is bright with large windows, modern, and medium size venue. Ceiling is low, so noise can be an issue as this place gets more crowded. We came here for dim sum, about 4 times. Impressions on Food: -- Egg yoke Lava Bun ($6.50): Warm with runny salty yoke. -- Beef balls with dried citrus ($6.50) : Love the water chestnuts mixed in the beef. (Some places use bok choy instead for the balance, so no crunch, just soft.) -- Shui mai ($6.50): Generous portion per piece -- Slice fish porridge ($23.80): Hugh family-size bowl (meant to be shared) but the porridge was tad on the watery side. Fish was flounder (?) Would not order again when there are other great options here. -- As of February 2026, the noodle dish Lobster Yee Mein was $31.98, which was delicious and $5-$6 cheaper than the same dish offered in their flagship restaurant on Monterey Blvd in SF. (I asked them for the reason behind price difference: (1) Newly opened location; and (2) lobsters are on smaller side. -- Beef ($7.30) or shrimp ($9.20) noodle roll: Unimpressionable. The rice roll was not ultra thin but okay. Needed the soy sauce. They use the same style beef as that in the beef balls. -- We tried the squab, a specialty here. On point crispiness. Very nicely done. Overall, the quality of food is pretty good. When coupled with attentive service and a clean/bright setting, you are in for a sure thing: Positive dim sum experience. Oh, did I mention, there's parking in the back. read more

Dim sum restaurants are typically busy, particularly on the weekends. This one was, too. The good thing is that it's got many tables, so the wait time is fairly good (30 to 45 minutes). To my surprise, it does not have fried shrimp balls. We were happy with most of our dishes except for one, a meat bun dish that was frozen in the center. read more
