A deal available for DINE-IN ONLY is 2 orders for $56 (each order includes a noodle or clay pot, a drink, appetizer, and supposedly a fruit), but my table of 6 never received our fruits.Table receives a tablet to order items, not the greatest user interface since it is laggy. Order a lot of different variety of appetizers. Known for their hand pull noodles, each bowl does contain a lot of noodles I got the a mild spicy sliced beef noodle which has quail eggs, fried shallots, tofu, but I found that it lacked flavor. The soup was missing some umami flavor and could use more beef slices.As for the drinks, mango sago was delicious. As for the milk tea, did not taste any tea flavor at all, and the boba is slightly hard.More of a causal and chill spot, there are board games to play among the table. This place has a bit of everything from food, drinks, and games. Overall, 3.5/5Parking: Restaurant front entrance

First time here and the food is good! It looks like three different vendors in one place, but you can order from one menu. We got biang biang noodles in garlic chili oil and curry chicken. Looking forward to coming again!

First tryWe ordered claypot rice with pork ribs, beef stew & tendon biang biang noodle and shredded chicken.So surprised the beef, tendon and full over the noodle. The broth is not rich than the Taiwanese type.The pork ribs are full over the rice too, there is crispy rice at the bottom of claypot rice.

A great place for grape fruit tea and milk tea, despite their noodles are so-so.

Never knew this was here until I have meetup with one of my group. The restaurant is pretty big with 3 or more different vendors, almost look like a food court in a way. There are also long table where people can share tables if they don't have big group.You order using a barcode or they will give you tablet to order. Pretty straightforward and easy to operate. Food comes in a little late but not too long. Servers are all nice and kind.Food is great! I love the cumin lamb, spices are pretty good but I wish it has a little more sauce on it and a tad more savory. But that's what additional soy sauce are for! Fish balls are mediocre, it's sweet instead of spicy, which is a little disappointing. All in all, I will try going back again!

We were picking up friends from SFO airport and so while waiting for their arrival, my husband and I decided to dine here. This was our second time. We ordered the basil pesto vegetarian biang biang noodle soup. We loved the taste and flavor of pesto in noodle soup. I also ordered black sesame foam boba milk which has now become my favorite variety/flavor. Definitely will come back and bring our friends here.Thank you for the wonderful service!

Food is bad due to noticeably stale ingredients. Thought it was a fluke but happened twice, and got sick on the second time. Then noticed the old inventory in the adjoining shop, so I think they're just not careful about it.

Stew beef noodles is good. The broth is much tastier than the other shop LanZhouxxx.I like the coconut pork herbal soup. It's light and sweet. However, the pork rib is not tender enough.A good stop for lunch n dinner.

Social Eatery is a space that has 2 restaurants and 1 boba place all in one - Noodleosophy, Rice Monster, and Grapeholic. It’s very close to the Millbrae BART/Caltrain station (a 3-minute walk) and also has a pretty big parking lot??.There’s a screen near the entrance for people that are just ordering boba to-go. If you’re there for dine-in, they’ll lead you to some seats and you can order from all three places at the same time. Lots of seats for dine-in and there’s even a foosball table⚽️.Our table had a QR code for you to see the menu and order but they brought a tablet over for us to order. Not sure why but I have no issues with that??‍♀️.We ordered Beef Stew & Tendon (公公半筋半腩) and Pickled & Sliced Beef (知府酸湯肥牛).Took a little while for the orders to arrive (almost thought that they were preparing everything from scratch and cutting a whole cow open on the spot?), and there were kids running around in the place so it was pretty loud?. But after tasting the food, I have to say that the wait was worth it! The servings were pretty big, and the broth was very flavorful. Wasn’t too overly seasoned and the texture of the noodles were great.

The food is decent. Service is hit or miss. Parking can be very challenging at times.

Food is good but the service is very terrible. One of the server is rude and shouts to us instead of correcting their mistake.Manager gave us 20% discount because of it. The employee didn’t apologize for what happened.I wouldn’t recommend going here

I ate at grapeholic, which is one of the 3 restaurants in Social Eatery. Their main drink is the pure grape and it’s definitely what I get every time. However be wary this is definitely a luxury boba shop with premium prices and really pretty decor. Warm lighting with games provided!

Came here with Tiny around 11:20am, we were craving for some beef stew Biang Biang noodles and unagi bo jai faun. We also got some spicy cucumber and their new persimmon drink.We sat down and scanned the QR code to order. The food came shortly and the ambiance was nice. They were playing good Chinese pop music and it felt like home.When it was 12:00pm the place was packed! Glad we got here early.Delicious and affordable, will be back soon.-iG@BlackTigerEats
