The food here is really, really good. I came here to eat out with a friend of mine and ordered the house garlic noodles, Dungeness crab, and imperial rolls. I can't say much about the service since they gave me and my friend lots of time to catch up, so depending on what you expect, it's pretty good. That's why I gave service 4 stars. Good, but not exactly outstanding. The atmosphere is really nice. I would personally sit on a patio if it's offered, but that's completely your choice.

Yummy crab restaurant with Asian flavors. I preferred the dry fried crab flavor over the sauce ones. Their salted egg shrimp was really good

Went on Valentine's Day. They had a very affordable pre fixed meal. It came with crab, garlic noodles, salad, rolls, dessert and wine. The crab was so good and juicy. We got the roasted crab but I also wanna try the fried chili crab. Noodles were just ok. A little dry but we added on some steamed rice and sopped up the leftover crab juice. idk if crab juice is what it's called but you know what I mean. The cabbage salad and spring rolls were good appetizers. We also ordered the salt yolk shrimp. Those shrimp were huge and flavorful. They were better eaten hot of course. Lots of food that we ended up taking some home for lunch the next day. Great service as well. Everyone there was so nice and attentive. We will definitely go back.

Craving crab but too lazy to go out. Ordered via Door dash the Crab Dinner for two and was prepared so nice and fresh considering it was alot of food. Great service and tasted as fresh as we were in restaurant. Delicious. Highly recommend if you want to enjoy with your family of 4 in your home clothes.

If you like crab this is the place to be. I prefer the roasted to the deep fried. Garlic noodles and the salad are yummy!

Gave this place a 2nd chance and this time it came through. Attended with a few more people so ordered a set crab dinner for 4 and added crab fried rice which was more than enough for everyone and leftovers.Imperial Rolls - crispy, savory and the dipping sauce help balance the overall flavor of fat.Cabbage Salad with Chicken- nice pairing with the richness of the crab as the vinegar dressing help cut through the other dishes of garlic and butter.Roasted Crab- cooked perfectly and given the delay in crab season this was still meaty and the sweetness blended with the butter nicely.Steamed Sea Bass- very well prepared as each piece was tender and succulent as it sat on top of a soy sesame oil sauce.Garlic Noodles- on point!Crab Fried Rice- Generous portion and great for next day leftover.Overall, service was good and very relaxing atmosphere so definitely go with a group so you could enjoy all the dishes.

Good food. Fair prices. Their roasted crab was delicious. Their garlic noodles were decent. They have roasted crab package deals for different size parties to offer more value. Service is on point. I really enjoyed their lemonade with free refills. It's a nice and spacious interior with a cool looking accent wall and wine display.

Ppq in sf was booked so we decided to come to the new one here in millbrae. Started off with the oysters because you have to have oysters when getting seafood. They were insanely small for some reason, definitely stay from those no matter how much you love them. Cha gio: what you see is what you get in the picture. Can't believe we had to ask for more lettuce but overall good.4/5Both crabs were good just as you'd expect them to be. If I had to choose one, it's be the salty egg yolk. The garlic and butter does get repetitive with no spices but made a nice dipping sauces for the garlic noodles. 5/5Garlic noodles were a little disappointing. Couldn't put my finger on what was missing. Had to constantly dip it into the garlic butter of the crab. Maybe they'll be better at the original location. 3/5

My friend, and I shared a garlic roasted crab, chicken and Napa cabbage salad, imperial eggrolls, and calamari. The calamari was OK, but served with ketchup instead of tartar sauce, so that was a little weird . The cabbage salad, imperial rolls, and roasted crab were amazing . A large crab easily fed the two of us. The restaurant was a little bit cold and surprisingly quiet, but it was a Monday night . The service was very good and I would definitely come back here again for some crab.

My party of 9 people were seated quickly on Saturday afternoon. Making a reservation online was an easy and convenient option. The interior is spacious and most of the tables were empty. Service was attentive.We ordered the "CRAB DINNER FOR 10" ($478). This came with the following items:- Imperial Rolls- Papaya Salad with Shrimp- Roasted Crabs (2): our favorite crab flavor!- Peppercorn Crab (1)- Charbroiled Pork- Steamed Sea Bass- Five Spices Chicken: very moist and not dry at all- Braised String Beans: much-needed vegetable to break up all the heavier meat dishes- House Garlic NoodlesThey have different combo options depending on your party size. You can also opt for ordering a la carte.This is definitely not a cheap meal, but the food is tasty and portions are big. PPQ is a nice option for more special occasions with family.

The food was amazing here. The crabs are pretty big and fresh. You can get it cooked several different ways. I got the Garlic steamed lobster & the house special crab which is deep fried, sautéed with a mild jalapeño onion sauce. The house special was amazing full of flavor, but very messy. We also go the garlic noodles which is a house special it’s just noodles with garlic sauce if you like garlic you will love this dish. Also I highly recommended the Braised stint brand and tiger prawns.
