I've been coming pretty regularly for years and the food is always good and the service friendly. Favorites include Beef Chow Fun,. Singapore fried noodles, clear cooked Bok Choi.Update as of May 2022 - still awesome. Please stop by and get some great food and help this small family business survive the times.
I cannot figure out how this place can crank out such variety and yet have such good quality.They also give you A LOT of food. A typical take home order lasts for a couple of days.
What a nice surprise! We stopped in for take out. I was expecting the usual fare as far as menu selection for a small Chinese restaurant; and I was also expecting the usual range/depth of flavor with the meals (especially being outside of San Mateo and Millbrae).The menu caught my attention as it featured a lot of dishes beyond what you'd typically find. We ordered pretty standard things, but will look forward to trying some of the house specials next time!When we got home and opened the boxes . . . I was very surprised to see a rich color to the food. And the flavor definitely matched. The portions were generous and well-balanced in terms of the provision of meats/fish and veggies. The noodles were soft and chewy, the pan-fried dumplings had a nice thick and chewy shell/skin with a solidly fried bottom. The sauce on the chicken was thick, with just the right balance between salt and spice.One or two dishes were a little on the greasy side, but nothing to complain about.We had leftovers tonight, and the dishes really soaked up the flavor! Even better the second time around.Order: Pan-fried dumplings/potstickers; beef chow fun, rock fish and asparagus, and kung pao chicken. We made our own rice and veggies (fried dandelion greens w/ garlic and salt).
All my orders have been via Waiter.com. I usually order a main dish with a side of rice. The only thing I can say positive is that the rice is cooked well. I have yet to receive an order that 1) is correct and 2) that I can actually eat [I have food allergies that are clearly stated when placing the order.]Waiter.com customer service stated they reached out to the owner regarding these issues and was asked that I give them "one more chance". Today was one more chance and I STILL didn't get my order correct.... my advice: don't order from here unless it's something simple like rice or noodles and with no special instructions. Sorely disappointed and am deeply regretting giving this place so many chances.
Chef George is terrific, great food and service, terrific menu of variety. Best Chinese in Bay Area. Had Lemon Sole - outstanding!
Great place! Highly recommended ! For real - hands down the most honest restaurant with truly great food. Thank you
The General Zao's Imitation chicken was my first favorite food in San Carlos. This place is great. Eggplant also excellent.
We enthusiastically bought $80 worth of take-out food. We received nothing worth eating:The hot & sour soup lacked taste and substanceThe mou chu vegetables were soggyBoth prawn dishes (Hunan Basis Prawns & Mango Prawns) had replaced prawns with small shrimp and the shrimp tasted as if they had been in the sauce for days.
Great Chinese food. Had something I had never seen before - Mongolian Beef Chow Mein. Two of my favorite dishes all in one. Chef George is really good.
Restaurant cancelled my order 10mins to closing after making me wait. Laziness. Later tried them and found the food was just ok. The duck at least.
