19 of us came here for dim sum at 10:30am on a Sunday morning. The host Larry gave us the private room which had one large round table for 20 people with the biggest lazy Susan I've ever seen. Earlier this year there were 3 tables in that private room. This time one huge table. We were thrilled! We had 4 young kids and they were running around the room. On with the food. All of us marked the menu. We made sure to get 2 orders of beef chow fun and 2 orders of soy sauce chow mein. Then about 5 orders of ha gaw and sui mai and an assortment of chicken feet, tripe, cha sui baos, sticky rice, egg tarts, black bean pork ribs, shrimp, beef and bbq pork noodles and taro balls. Oh by the way the shrimp in anything you get are huge!! Everything was tasty and served hot. The staff kept bringing cold water, hot tea, hot water. They kept removing empty platters. We couldn't ask for a better venue for my family. And lastly when the bill came it cost less than $450 to feed 14 adults with 5 kids!! Score! We will be back. read more

This restaurant is a reset/rename of Asian Pearl. Interior has not changed much. The dim sum dishes are below average among Chinese restaurants serving Cantonese dim sum, e.g. HL Peninsula, HK Palace, Yan's, The Kitchen, Grand Harbor, etc. in Millbrae Burlingame area. The flavor is not very distinct and good. Only 虾饺 (Har Gow) and 烧卖 (SiuMai) were about average. The dishes look good enough but the taste is not. Even their well commented roast squab was slightly overcooked (not very juicy). Service was above average for a Chinese restaurant. Disappointed. read more

I believe this restaurant used to be New Hong Kong Flower Lounge, and it's now called Won Kok Millbrae. We decided to give it a try, and we're so glad we did! Service - 4/5 The service wasn't bad, especially since the restaurant wasn't even full. We still had to wait a bit, which makes me wonder how it would be during peak hours. That said, the servers were friendly and attentive, which made up for the wait. I'm giving service 4 stars. Cleanliness / Ambiance - 4.5/5 The restaurant was clean, and I especially noticed that the teapot looked very clean--a detail many restaurants overlook. It's nice to see they pay attention to cleanliness. Food - 5/5 Everything we ordered was delicious!     *    Braised Beef Brisket Rice Noodle in Claypot     *    Purple Rice Noodle Roll with Shrimp (I'm not sure if the purple color comes naturally from the rice. I suspect food coloring may have been added, but I'd be happy to be corrected if I'm wrong. )     *    Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf Parking Parking is acceptable on weekdays. Overall, we had a great experience. I would definitely come back to try more dishes from the menu! read more

As a Millbrae native I have seen and ate at many different Chinese restaurants that cycled through this location. With the change to Won Kok me and my family have eaten here a few times with all great experiences. For my sister's birthday my mom was able to reserve ahead of time an Alaskan king crab which was amazing! We got an 8lb king crab that they made into 3 different dishes: one with just the legs, another one deep fried where you can choose a flavor (we chose Salt and pepper, though many people I think choose the salty egg) and the last as a fried rice. They give you options for customizing the 3 dishes which was nice. And wow was it an experience. Great presentation, great service, and we left full and super happy. Place is pretty casual, similar to typical old school Chinese restaurants. I still have to check out the dim sum. Worth a visit! read more

No walk in wait on a Thursday at noon. Honestly this place has great dimsum, great service, and it wasn't too busy when we went so it wasn't too loud like some other busier dimsum spots. Some dishes in order of how "Must Try" they are... 1. Squab 2. Pork Shiu Mai 3. Chicken Feet 4. Pork spare ribs 5. Egg custard bun The only dish I didn't care for as much was the tripe since it had a little more of a slimy sauce than I'm used too (that's their style, I'm just not used to it) Would definitely come back. 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

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

Went there after a friend graduation. Came there at 1:30pm. It was so huge and big. The service was pretty fast, they bring your food to the table and ask if you needed anything. We got their donut roll, crispy noodle, tofu, chicken feet, peashoot. The peashoot was crunchy and salty at the same time. I like it a lot. The crispy pan fried noodle was crispy and tasty. You can hear the crunch. The decoration outside was decorated. It was hot that day so we also got pudding. 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

Came here on a Tuesday night at 6pm. Luckily we made reservations because the restaurant started to get packed! Every dish that we ordered was packed with great flavors and the Crispy Pork blew me away! It had the perfect crunch to it! Everyone at my table kept complimenting the soups. Normally when we go out to eat at Chinese restaurants, we would always have several boxes of leftovers to take home. This time, we only packed one bowl of white rice. Very good food! read more

Good quality dim sum with real visible shrimp. Wish they had more dim sum variety as they don't have shark fin soup... even with imitation shark fin as it's banned in CA. Dinner is more hit and miss. My Malaysian chow fun isn't Malaysian (yea I've been there), just fried rice with shrimp. Mongolian beef is super tender and large slices. Oyster pancake isn't like Taiwan but just ok without any oyster sauce. 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

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

Won Kok Millbrae - Roasted squab. So juicy and crispy! - Dim Sum Near Me - Millbrae, California

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

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

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

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

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.

Decent enough. Their dinner menu and stir fried noodle dishes are better than their dim sum. Service is hit or miss. They are polite and make an effort, but may move you three separate times to different tables for their own convenience. Or they might ignore you if they are full for the night, rather than confront you and tell you. Like they just don't know any better. 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

We has the $1088 dinner. The pea sprouts included the nontender leafs making it more chewy. The sea bass was the tail end and wasn't the same taste as the center fillet, the truffle sauce was off, the noodle dish was ao small that wach person got 1/2 a bowl. The sticky rice was good with the meat and salted egg stuffing, the soup was rich and flavorful. The serivce was excellent We have eates this set on three occasions. Each time times the quality of the dish has gone down. Maybe it was an off day but it will be hard to come again at this price point. read more

I don't really think their dishes from regular menu are something special. I do like some of their dishes from wedding banquet menu. Instead of ordering a whole set I just ordered individual dishes from multiple sets. The owner is vey friendly and nice. Both the owner and our servers are very attentive. I did have to preorder some dishes ahead of time. My least favorite dish is the whole crispy chicken stuff with Chinese sweet rice. My favorite are big surf empress clam, roasted quail, truffle duck, sea bass, and herbal ginseng soup with black chicken. You will need to order the surf clam, crispy chicken and ginseng soup ahead of time. The restaurant can be a little noisy and crowded especially on weekends. Need to make reservations ahead of time if you want big table and don't want to wait for long. I think their prices are reasonable depending on what you order. I don't mind hosting parties there and get the dishes from their wedding banquet menu. P.S Parking can be hard to find in that area. 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

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
