Wonderful is an award-winning restaurant that offers a distinct Hunan and Szechuan dining experience. The food is of high quality, with the "smork" (smoked pork) being a standout dish, described as the smokiest item the reviewer has ever tasted. The deep-fried intestine also has a tasty kick. The flour-based dishes, such as the pancakes and noodles, are well-executed, with a good chewiness. The restaurant's Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition is well-deserved.
The menu features several signature dishes, including the Cilantro beef, which is thinly sliced and tenderized, resulting in a unique texture and flavor. The Green Onion Pancake (蔥發大餅) is highly praised and considered a must-order dish, while the Orange Chicken (橘皮雞) is made with actual orange skin, making it particularly yummy. The Stir-fried Cabbage (熗炒包心菜) is cooked just right—crispy and not too oily—standing out as the best cabbage dish experienced in any Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area. The Onion bread, with its fluffy and layered texture, is a popular item that is hard to find elsewhere. The Bok choy with shitake and the Winter melon soup with pork rib are recommended to balance the spice levels. The Godfather noodles, with their complex and distinct flavors, are a must-try.
Guests have also enjoyed the helpful and friendly service, with staff happy to offer recommendations and detailed explanations of the menu. The restaurant’s setting and atmosphere are nicely decorated and very clean, including the restroom, which is free of oily smoke and odors. Overall, Wonderful offers a diverse and exceptional dining experience that sets it apart from other Hunan and Szechuan restaurants in the area, making it a perfect choice near SFO airport or for a memorable meal after traveling. Many visitors remember it fondly, noting that the food remains just as tasty and spicy as they remembered from previous visits.
