“Been meaning to review this location.
This location is perfect for crab and lobster lovers. We ordered the crab and lobster set menu and had both the crab and lobster cooked with garlic sauce. I was told it was amazing, since I am allergic to both crab and lobster, I more of the garlic noodles -yummy., papaya salad, steamed sea bass and charbroiled pork. I really liked their garlic noodles. It’s as good as Thanh Long .”
“This restaurant was right next door to my hotel, just outside the side door. When I entered the restaurant, I noticed that many of the patrons were still wearing their coats. I was shortly seated and took my coat off, then it became apparent why everyone else still kept their coats on. It was just cold inside the restaurant. I put my coat back on and then ordered a Dragon Roll, some Sushi Rice, Miso Soup and a large Sapporo. Everything was perfect! The Dragon Roll was plated perfectly, the Miso was very hot and the Sushi Rice was delightful! The only downer was the cold room.”
“Food is good. Ordered 5 dishes based on the recommendation on the menu and on the wall. All of them are above expectations. If the dish size could be a bit larger, the 5-star is well deserved”
“3 of us came here for dinner earlier this week. My husband found the restaurant on Yelp! and it turns out to be one of our friend's favourite restaurants in the area.
We ordered the following dishes:
- Gal Bi Jim - My husband would not stop talking about it. The sauce was rich and flavourful and the short ribs just melted in your mouth.
- Dolpan Bibimbap - The rice was perfect;y cooked with a slightly crispy bottom. The portions of rice, meat and vegetables were very well balanced.
- Han Sang Guk Bap - The best part of the noodle soup was the broth. It was so tasty. I had every last drop of it with my side purple rice.
- Yuk Hwe - I'm usually impartial to beef tartare but it was better than some of the beef tartares I had in Paris!”

“Flavor bomb!! This place is a hidden gem. Recommend the Al pastor tacos. I also got the birria taco with the consome. Don’t forget to purchase it separate. I agree with the previous reviews. One of the best tacos you’ll find in the Bay Area. You get so much quality and quantity for the price. $3?? Feels almost the same quality as SD. The staff are super nice too. Wish they had more locations!”

“This restaurant is close to the Milbrae Caltrain and Bart stations and the San Francisco International airport. It's an excellent choice for having food when dropping or waiting to pick up someone at the airport. The food is fresh and delicious There are good vegetarian choices.”
“The seats in the restaurant are comfortable, the place is clean, and the waiters are attentive. It has a Hong Kong-style teahouse style, and the food is of average quality. The company's sandwich menu has a Hong Kong feel, including garlic fried chicken wings, baked pork chop rice, and stir-fried beef river. I think the milk tea doesn't have enough flavor, there is room for improvement. This is a restaurant I will visit again.”
“I've been here many times in the past two or three years and it's always delicious! I must order the squirrel fish every time. I also like the lotus root sandwich, pearl meatballs, hot dry noodles and tofu skin. They are also delicious.”
“Great food and service. My wife said it was the best spaghetti she ever had.”
“Solid 4 for the food, 4.5 stars overall! Been here a couple times, I find it convenient to order everything on the tablet as needed, and if I liked something more, I could easily order more. I had a long workweek, so decided to drop by here last minute a little past 8pm on a friday to treat myself. Chill and peaceful vibe, relatively quiet, minimal interaction with others, and perfect for going through some phone chores. Plenty of parking and no wait at this time. Might be best to come in parties of 1-4 since that's the size of one table.
Fish is fresher than expected at this price point, currently 1.25 per pc of sashimi and 1.65 per pc of nigiri, and maybe $3-4 for special items like hokkaido scallop and uni nigiri. Being able to order 1 pc or small portions makes it convenient to try new items, e.g. I learned i didn't like saba or egg herring lol, so just ate 1 pc of those.”

“I ate there last week for the first time in several years. The menu is large and many different styles of food. I had the Prime Rib and it was EXCELLENT. There was 2 others in my party and they were equally impressed. Another benefit is that there are no parking problems. I will definitely eat there again.”
“I literally start drinking coffee in 2025 and I have become addicted, to not just coffee but to Peet’s Millbrae is one of my favorite locations because they clean their machines and the taste is always perfect to me. And I failed to mention that Avelina & Vivian. But I wanted to highlight how amazing this is and the company is as a whole. what is a disability in the world and every morning is what I have that first set of coffee from Peet’s and I know I’m gonna have a good day!”
“Noodleosophy is local Bay Area chain focusing on hand-pulled noodle dishes, and this location in particular can be found in Millbrae's Social Eatery food hall. As part of Social Eatery, patrons can take a seat within the food hall, place their orders on the provided tablet, and a staff member will bring the food an beverages straight to your table.
We decided to get their beef tendon noodle soup and selected the biang biang noodles (you're able to customize the dish to your liking with whatever noodle option you prefer). We also got a side of their pork and shrimp dumplings, because who doesn't love dumplings?
The beef tendon noodle soup was rich and flavorful, while the accompanying noodles were perfectly cooked and chewy - providing a great mouth feel to the dish. The dumplings were delicious as well, and were a nice addition to the meal as a whole.
If you're ever in the Millbrae area and want a one-stop shop for all your dining and beverage needs, then Social Eatery is definitely the place to go and be sure to enjoy some delicious hand-pulled noodles from Noodleosophy while you're at it!”
“The food here is awesome. Don't sit around in the place, it's like a fast food restaurant in person: bleak and no one cares what it looks like. All you need to do is pick up the food! The chicken katsu was great and the meat medley/combo dish. Love this!
Parking: There's an in n out right next to it and the line was out of the parking lot (insane). That blocks off spots to park but we parked anyway and people were very accommodating.”
“I travelled from Riverside County to come eat at this restaurant and have heard such great reviews about it from my relatives and friends who live all the way in China! It was worth the drive and we will definitely be back again. Each dish is unique and they also have gluten free options as well as requested options. (My f5 year old is Gluten free).The bamboo and mushroom dish had a hint of sweetness with an undertone of spice, the Chong qing 🌶spicy chicken was mouth watering, along with the eggplant 🍆 dish, dry stir fried fish, and glass noodles with pork! I enjoyed every dish and my kids enjoyed their shrimp fried rice dish and greens as well. Our family is a foodie family and we love ❤️ traveling far and near to try dishes from around the world. The Chef came out and greeted us and was So kind. The staff was very attentive and friendly with our children. I would highly recommend this establishment. Thank you!! 🙏💕😁”

“A must visit place for noodle lovers. Been there several times with friends. The dishes that we normally order are the hand pulled noodles with beef slices and broth, fries noodles 🍜 and a few skewers of shish kebabs.”
“I got a Mongolian beef combo for takeout. Easily one of the best asian dishes I have had especially for that price. The rice was also excellent. The soup was not great but not a big deal for me.
The beef was excellent in quality and the flavor was amazing. I don’t know whether this is authentic or not. The dish was spicy but not unappetizing spicy.
Will certainly go there if I come back”
“Still my favorite HK cafe in the peninsula. Been a customer since the VIP days. Carol, Jesse and Ling are some of the nicest people I’ve met. Feels like neighbors. I love their baked items with red sauce, their curry dishes, and their beef chow fen. And hands down most authentic milk tea!”

“Love this place! Service is excellent, and the food is truly spicy!”

“Dombe noodles were delicious, the broth was rich but not super oily, pork was very tender. Tables, seats and floors were clean. Service was quick and friendly. They also have kpop videos playing on the tv in the back too which is fun
Parking: Depends on the day but on most weekdays you can probably park at one of the spots right in front of the restaurant.”

“First time at Peters…we were looking for traditional breakfast dive near SFO. Saw on the web that they make some Hawaiian favorites like eggs with Spam or linguica, Loco Moco, and that sealed it. Had a very good breakfast, friendly service at the counter, and our questions about the reason for Hawaiian dishes were answered. I’ve tried to find out the history of the building’s classic roadside diner weirdness, but no results yet. We’ll be back.
Vegetarian options: Breakfast options include vegetarian dishes. Not necessarily healthy, but vegetarian!”
“I discovered this small bakery on Broadway Street in Millbrae, and it's become my go-to spot for fresh bread and buns. Every day, the bread is incredibly fresh, with that perfect balance of softness and crispness. The buns take me back to my childhood—so soft, fluffy, and flavorful, just the way I remember them. It’s rare to find a bakery that feels this authentic, with such delicious, homemade-quality baked goods. If you love fresh bread and want a taste of nostalgia, this is the place to go!”

“Very cute to-go place. Perfect for a quick lunch pick up especially if you work in South City. I got the unagi with egg (savory with a hint of sweetness) and takoyaki which were both hot and fresh! I want to try the fruit sando and pork sando next time.I purchased it at the Kei Sushi location.”
“The owner was very nice and the food are all tasty and very good, good portioning for all the orders. For sure will go back feels like being in Thailand already. See ewe TOm kha Papaya salad with salted crab duck friend rice Fried chicken Sticky rice duck curry . Everyting was tasty and satisfying 🤤🤤🤤”

“This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in California, it literally won an award for that. I myself am Chinese and this was so GOOD. We ordered the fish in chili oil/sauce and it was perfectly cooked and the flavor was so good. We also ordered beef soup noodles, my kids ate it all and also some dumplings that my daughter ate all of.?Overall very good place. I approve.”

“We had an amazing dinner yesterday at Hana Izumi! We made same day reservations and the staff was so friendly and quick to accommodate us and our child. Honestly, each dish was unique and delicious. It reminded us of our trip in Japan. We hope to come back soon for a special occasion.”
“I recently dined at The Super Burrito in Millbrae and was thoroughly impressed. While I didn't try the burritos, I highly recommend their fajita tacos. The steak and chicken were both incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. I also sampled the 'Super Taco,' and it was a feast for the senses! It was generously filled with delicious ingredients and was surprisingly light for its size. The restaurant itself has a lively and casual atmosphere, making it a great spot for a quick and satisfying meal. I'll definitely be back to try their famous burritos next time”
“Found this little gem while on a layover at SFO and the food was amazing! I had the Curry Sliced Beef Ramen and it was probably the best I’ve had. The ordering technology threw me off but I got over it quickly, it is 2025. As far as atmosphere…..just a bunch of people quietly eating lunch. I only gave the service 2 stars because it is an online order and someone just deeply it off at the table. Would definitely recommend though.”
“Great portion of food. Delicious and comforting. The items on menu themselves are not on the cheap side but given its large portion, it has good value for sure.
Chef’s specials are all pretty good. I am not Northeastern China local but I have tried six different dishes so far and it never missed. Very satisfying.
They also sell frozen premade food. It is also great! Dumplings and Baos are yummy.”
“Very friendly cashier. I wish the fries were hot instead of barely warm. The main purpose of the visit was to take my kid for the root beer float. Good experience, so I will return with my other kid for the root bear float and some other food on our next visit.Update: Different cashier today. Very nice lady with a 49ers #10 white jersey was very friendly and pleasant. As stated last Sunday that I would bring my other kids, I did, and they were very happy dining here. Ordered the same meal from last week, the wrap combo- honey bbq and spicy Mac and cheese, and three chicken pot pies.”
“Stop by Zen restaurant for a quick lunch before my flight. Food came quickly.
I ordered the pepper and pork intestine stirfry lunch special and Hubs ordered the Peking pork chops. Both were pretty good and because it was a lunch special the value was definitely there.
Would come again .”
“I recently had the chance to check out Yan Peninsula in Millbrae, and overall, it was a refreshing and flavorful experience. The restaurant is located right on El Camino Real, and while parking was a little tight (as it always seems to be around here), I lucked out with a spot in their small lot.
The inside feels modern and clean – it’s a bit more upscale than your typical dim sum joint, with no carts roaming around. Instead, you fill out a paper checklist, which I actually preferred because it meant everything came out fresh and hot.
We ordered a mix of the classics and a few house specials. The baked BBQ pork buns were absolutely delicious – crispy outside with sweet, savory pork inside. The shrimp siu mai with roe was solid, and the texture was just right. A surprise standout was the salted egg yolk lava buns – rich, creamy, and perfect as a dessert.
The only slight miss for me was the BBQ rice noodle rolls – the texture was a bit too thick and gummy, but not a dealbreaker.
Service was friendly, though a bit slow during peak lunch hours. We had to flag someone down a couple times for tea refills and to check on a missing order, but everyone was polite and helpful once we got their attention.
Pricing is on the higher side – we were a group of four and ended up with a $100+ bill (including a 15% service charge). Still, for the quality and clean, relaxed atmosphere, I felt it was worth it.
Final thoughts: Yan Peninsula feels like a great option if you’re craving dim sum but want a cleaner, more modern experience without the chaos of traditional push-cart spots. I’d definitely go back – maybe on a weekday to avoid the crowds.”

“A very solid Chinese restaurant in the area! I really love their lettuce wraps as well as their hand pulled noodle soups! The atmosphere is basic but it gets the job done very well. The tables and cloths are a little worn. Service is very friendly and the waiter can make good recommendations!
Parking: Parking here is extremely difficult as there is not much street parking in front of the business. Do not park in front of the liquor store as well as he can threaten to call the tow truck. Either park out back of the business or find somewhere else and walk.”
“BEST CHINESE RESTAURANT IN MILLBRAE!!!
the food is good, quality-wise, and service is fast.
I had order from this place multiple food. Today I ordered a hot and sour soup, THE BEST Hot and Sour I had so far!!’ Tangy, sour-y, pungent, hot!!!! It was delicious and only $6 bucks.
And I had their baked sea bass in portugese sauce!!! THE BEST portugese sauce I had so far in my life as well!!!!
The food is high quality, delicious!!!!!! Come check their place.”
“Social Eatery food hall is a gem located in Millbrae offering a variety of Chinese cuisine all in one easy-to-reach location. Social Eatery has a parking lot for patrons, which makes dining in easy. Upon entering the food hall, patrons will be guided to a table, and provided with a tablet on which they can place their orders from a variety of establishments contained within Social Eatery. After the order is placed, a staff member will bring the food and beverages straight to your table! When it's time to check out, you can either do so via their app/online or request a staff member to come and help you close out your bill.
Social Eatery has the following 3 restaurants within: (1) Noodleosophy - a local Bay Area chain focusing on hand-pulled noodle dishes; (2) Rice Monster - specializing in Catonese claypot rice; and (3) Grapeholic - a tea shop with grape-centered drinks to round it out.
We came here on a Saturday afternoon looking for a one-stop shop for our weekend lunch and decided to try something from each one of the establishments - after all, isn't that the beauty of food halls? We got the beef tendon noodle soup and prok and shrimp dumplings from Noodleosophy, the cha siu and steamed egg claypot rice from Rice Monster, and finished up our meal with two drinks from Grapeholic - cotton candy grape slush, and grape and lemon tea.
(1) Noodleosophy - the beef tendon noodle soup was rich and flavorful, while the accompanying noodles were perfectly cooked and chewy - providing a great mouth feel to the dish. The dumplings were delicious as well, and were a nice addition to the meal as a whole.
(2) Rice Monster - the cha siu and steamed egg clay pot rice was in a single word - satisfying. The salty-slightly-sweet cha siu paired well with the mild flavors of the egg, and the salty soy sauce you pour over the rice. I will say the rice could have been a little more scorched to provide the accompanying crunch that you expect from this dish; however, if you're really craving claypot rice and are in the area, then Rice Monster will definitely help satisfy that craving for you.
(3) Grapeholic - the cotton candy grape slush was amazing - true to it's name it captured the cotton candy grape flavor in a delicious slush form that was both sweet and refreshing. The grape and lemon tea was also good; however, the lemon flavor was a bit overpowering and made it difficult to truly enjoy the grape that was in the drink. If you want grape to be the star of the show, then I'd recommend getting one of their grape-centered drinks instead.
If you're ever in the Millbrae area and are looking for a great lunch spot, then Social Eatery has to be the next place on your list!”
“Japanese food restaurant. Small inside the airport.
Well Japanese themed, with long tables for groups and sturdy, low chairs that could be safe for children.
They have dishes, ramen and sushi. As well as a variety of drinks.
There is an outdoor area where you could go out to eat too.”
“Olivia’s Tanghulu is available there! These candied fruits are such a fun and nostalgic treat! So crunchy and delicious! They are the perfect balance of sweetness and texture, and they bring back childhood memories with every bite. Highly recommend grabbing some when you stop by! Such a unique and tasty find! Go early before they sell out!”
“Our family enjoys eating at Naked Fish in Millbrae. Their sushi rolls and bento boxes are always delicious. There are many options to choose from between the menu and their daily specials. Their food is presented well and amply portioned. Their service is consistently good and the servers are attentive. Whether we eat a late lunch or dinner with family and friends, we always leave this place full and content.My only criticism of this place is the location. Because the gym is directly above it, more specifically, the weight room, you can hear the weights dropping on the floor on certain occasions and it’s distracting. However, because we enjoy eating here more than anything else, we tolerate the noise on the few instances it’s happened.There is ample parking around, both on the street and in the parking lot next to it.Overall, I recommend you try this restaurant if you’re in the neighborhood.”
“I like to visit here alone and pig out on snacks like popcorn chicken and salt and pepper tofu with a fruit tea with boba. The portions are supposed to be meant to share but I eat everything by myself... so yummy so satisfying. People who go here are cute and I feel hella cute when I'm there...try it and you'll be cute too. Thanks for reading.”

“We had one of the best experiences last night. Tim our waiter was one of the best we have had. He was able to find Sprite Zero for my wife's drink. He also delivered a warm chocolate chip cookie with a small scoop of ice cream for my wife even though it wasn't in the menu. His ability to go above the call of duty and not just say no I can't get that for you was so amazing it had to make sure it is recognized. Exceptional service needs to be acknowledge and rewarded. Thanks again Tim for making our night! Oh yeah by the way the food was very good too!��”

“Excellent service, great quality bakery, a relaxing ambiance, and (again) wonderful employees. It was easy to grab what we wanted. We arrived around 12:30PM and most of the bakery was still in stock.
We asked the worker at the register to see if they could toast some of the bakery with meats and they gladly helped! They were jumbling around a few customers as well and they got to help us in a timely manner. huge props to them for the help!
The coffee and drinks were very delicious. The bakery was great and the location of this place is great. We parked at the Safeway parking lot and walked. It was an easy and very accessible.
Overall, an excellent place to get your bakery goods, delicious cakes or sandwiches. Would highly recommend coming here before you trek outside of San Francisco!”

Wish they had more locations!”
“We had an amazing dinner yesterday at Hana Izumi! We made same day reservations and the staff was so friendly and quick to accommodate us and our child. Honestly, each dish was unique and delicious. It reminded us of our trip in Japan. We hope to come back soon for a special occasion.”
