    It's about 12:30 pm on a Friday, I had some work done on my car at the auto body shop for almost 3 hrs. We were really hungry and asked one of the technicians if there was anything to eat around the area. He suggested trying the San Mateo Food Mall across the street. He asked if we liked Chinese food like Panda Express. Of course, we did. He suggested trying Wu Kong Express bc they are having a grand opening special from 11/21/24- 12/05/24: Buy one combo get one combo free. Who doesn't like free food? So my friend and I placed an order over the phone. Since my car was completed, we took the food to a Japanese Tea Garden and had a relaxing and delicious picnic. The food was delicious, tastier, and cheaper than Panda Express, even the portion was more. We definitely got our money's worth! Especially with the buy one get one free deal. What a deal! Make sure to get yourself some! You can order via Ubereats, Phone, or the kiosk inside the San Mateo Food Mall.

    I'm all about a good deal so I gotta share this buy one combo and get one free during the grand opening 11/21-12/05 at Wukong Express in San Mateo. It's such a good deal. This spot is an alternative to Panda Express Chinese cuisine but offers better value for money. They have a variety of items like orange chicken, honey walnut shrimp, eggplant tofu, kung pao chicken, sweet fire chicken breast and more! Pair it with some fried rice or chow mein. So easy to order for take out

    I'm so happy I found this new food hall in San Mateo. Wukong Express is a Chinese fast food restaurant that is made fresh to order, affordable and delicious. This is an alternative to Panda Express, but it's cheaper with no msg. Also, it comes with big portions. Each box is only $9. You can't get this deal anywhere nowadays especially in this economy. I really enjoyed the walnut shrimp and eggplant with the chow mein.

    The egg fried rice was perfectly cooked. It was a simple yet satisfying dish that we thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommended!

    The egg fried rice was perfectly cooked, with fluffy grains and a delightful balance of flavors. The seasoning was just right--not too heavy, allowing the natural flavors to shine. Highly recommended!

    Today I ordered Fried Rice 、Eggplant Tofu and Broccoli beef. All of them are delicious Good choice for lunch and dinner in San Mateo.

    Been there many times, so this review is for no visit in particular…read more Every food item we've had is fantastic. Breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, French toast, etc. We love the interior design with all of the cool stuff on the walls. Their apple fritters are easily top 2 I've ever had, competing with a place in Washington State.

    I recently stopped by Apple Fritter in San Mateo and tried the Naughty Burrito to go along with the…read moreBrunchurrito, which I ate there. Both burritos were satisfying and definitely worth trying. The restaurant has an open layout with plenty of parking, making it easy to stop by. It's located next to a car mechanic shop, and I liked that they had old-school Pokémon playing on the TV--it added a fun nostalgic vibe while I was eating. Customer service was acceptable, but nothing really stood out. It's more of a self-service experience, so if you want water or anything else, you'll need to get up and grab it yourself. It would've been nice if someone checked in once or twice. One thing that did confuse me happened on a different visit. I arrived around 1:50 p.m. hoping to order food to go, but the gentleman locked the door and told me they were no longer taking orders. If you close at 2 i dont see how you were closed already. It was a little odd since there were still plenty of customers inside eating. I understand kitchens have closing times, but it would've been helpful if the hours or last call for food were clearer. Overall, it's a solid spot for a good breakfast burrito with a laid-back atmosphere. Despite that one experience, I'd still come back and recommend giving it a try.

Add all those tourists and transit people you also have people from the whole peninsula, you can understand how crowded it gets here. The parking lot is probably the worst part of the experience here because it's always congested so I do not recommend coming here is you are short of time. It shares the parking lot with the carwash and several other restaurants so you'll likely be stuck here for a long while regardless whether you are going through drive thru or parking. The food is standard in n out which means something if you either are local or tourist. In n out intentionally goes old school so there is no app no order ahead and everything is pretty much all hand made including fries. If you never had their fries you may be surprised at the difference in texture but you'll like it the more you try. The burger is fresh and my only complaint is that I don't like their buns especially if you do grilled onions or animal style because the buns get soggy and breaks apart. That's one part shake shack had the upper hand.

    Went to In-N-Out thinking it'd just be a quick food run -- turned into one of those meals you…read moreactually sit and enjoy without rushing. Ordered the Double-Double animal style, and yeah... it lives up to the hype. The patties taste fresh, not frozen, and you can tell they're made to order. The melted cheese, grilled onions, pickles, that sauce -- it's messy but balanced. Nothing feels overdone. It's just a really well-built burger. Fries get mixed opinions, but straight out of the fryer they're solid. Light, a little crispy, not overly greasy. Add a bit of salt and they're gone fast. Shake was thick, classic, no shortcuts there either. What stands out most is how consistent everything feels. The menu is simple, but that's the point -- they focus on doing a few things really well instead of trying to do everything. Service is quick, staff actually seem organized, and the place stays clean even when it's busy. It's one of those spots where you don't feel like you overpaid or got rushed through a line. You just get good food, made right, every time. Came in expecting fast food, left feeling like it's in its own category. Easy 5 stars -- and yeah, I'd go back without thinking twice.

Great customer service! I placed a mobile pickup order for 12:15 PM, and it was ready around 12:30 PM. I noticed my OREO Cookies & Cream Shake was already sitting out when I arrived around 12:10 PM, so by pickup time it had melted and wasn't as thick or cold as I expected. Not sure if that's the normal consistency or just because it sat out. The ShackBurger double patty was excellent -- simple, fresh, and satisfying. Added extra pickles and onions with sauce on the side, and everything came out perfect. The Spicy Fries were crispy and tasty, but I think the spice level could be turned up a few notches. Ranch was good, though a little thick. Overall, another great experience. The burger is definitely the highlight, and I appreciate Shake Shack taking care of the feedback!
