The most delicious roujiamo in the Bay Area (so delicious that I bite it every time without taking a photo). The cold noodles and beef tendon noodles are also great. Now there is also a BBQ AYCE mode, which not only has a variety of skewers, but also meat buns, noodles, lamb offal soup and so on!

I was recommended to try their AYCE combo so I went there today. However, the waiter told me that AYCE is only for at least two guests ordering together and they ran out of BBQ. The most ridiculous part is that right after answering my questions, the waiter was checking with the cook about an online order which includes plenty of BBQ stuff. So I checked with the waiter again to see whether there is BBQ available and this time the waiter rudely responded me that they do not have that at all.

TLDR: burgers=yes, stinky tofu=no, pork rib, fried rice and potato salad=yes. Chinese food & Texas BBQ? Talk about a combo. We had to try this place out after hearing that. We showed up on a Thursday night and they had a few tables filled. No frills establishment. Service was prompt and straight forward which is completely fine with us. I tried the Chinese pork burgers, stinky tofu, and the BBQ combo (pork ribs, fried rice and both types of salads). The burgers were fine but I was blown away by them. Good seasoning overall and I like the idea but in no way did it actually reminded me of a burger. More like a good bao. The stinky tofu didn't do it for me. Personal preference, the reviews seemed great but I've never had it before and don't intend to again after trying it. It's an acquired taste for sure. Cheesy tasting. Left an aftertaste too. The BBQ plate was the star surprisingly (or not since they advertise Texas BBQ). The regular greens salad was not good though. I would opt for double potato salad because that was actually very tasty. I finished it and I don't normally like potato salad. The fried rice was seasoned well and I enjoyed it. The ribs?? Solid. Tender, juicy. Good blend with a nice BBQ sauce. I loved it. I would be back for that alone. The menu is very interesting though. So many things I want to try and will have to make time for next time! Overall, I'd be back!!

I was blown away by the amazing experience at this place. They have their top notch skewers and most authentic Chinese buns with well-marinated and cooked meat. While the smoky taste left me craving for more, what really sets this place apart is their all-you-can-eat menu. Its price was an absolute steal for the quality and variety of food on offer. I was hesitated while ordering the Chinese buns because most buffet-like restaurants offer dishes full of cheaper ingredients to save on costs, the buns they offered were the exact opposite.It’s a shame that I only came here to travel. I will come to this place again during my next visit at California.

Texas-sized Chinese bbq platters! Plenty of fall-off-the-bone meat and plenty to eat! This is the perfect marriage of Texas style and Chinese style bbq - found right here in CA! If I were in LA, SGV, K-town, this is a place I can imagine heading to for late night eats! The box was so full that they had to staple the box shut! The interior decor was like a Texas bbq restaurant and very clean, and then it was decorated with Asian themes - awesome! While eating the Chinese hamburgers, I felt like a food ranger on those traveling shows! :-) Food Ranger Brigade!

The introduction of Texas BBQ adds a delicious twist, seamlessly blending with Chinese flavors. The result is a delightful taste that enhances the overall dining experience. Their Chinese Burger with cumin lamb is still best in town.

Z-One Kitchen: A Culinary Gem in San Bruno, California! I had the pleasure of experiencing Z-One Kitchen today, and let me tell you, it's a hidden culinary gem that deserves all the accolades! My friend, a seasoned food delivery driver in San Bruno with over 38,000 deliveries under her belt, recommended this spot, and she couldn't have been more spot-on. From the moment I stepped in, the owner's warm hospitality made me feel right at home. The ambiance is cozy, creating the perfect setting for an enjoyable dining experience. Now, let's talk about the food - a true masterpiece! The servings are not just generous; they are a feast for the senses. Every bite was a symphony of flavors that left my taste buds dancing with delight. The menu boasts a diverse range, and I was pleasantly surprised to find Texan Barbecue on their offerings. Trust me; it's a must-try! The commitment to quality is evident in every aspect, from the welcoming atmosphere to the delicious dishes that grace their menu. As someone who appreciates good food, Z-One Kitchen exceeded my expectations. It was so good that I didn't mind the Uber drive from the Hyatt by the airport; it was absolutely worth it. If you're a food enthusiast seeking an unforgettable dining experience, Z-One Kitchen is the place to be. Don't just take my word for it - come on down and savor the excellence yourself. This is more than a restaurant; it's a culinary haven that deserves to be celebrated!

OMG Best Chinese Hamburger and Stinky Tofu. Extremely well flavored and tender meat. Fried stinky tofu in rich garlicky sauce. Good fast service. Been there three times and will go again and again.

This place has an interesting vibe. It does not service Texas BBQ but the decoration has a weird Chinese vibe. The food is definitely Chinese and the burger is really good. Soup noodle is a miss with lots of MSG. Think, Chinese street food at a weird vibe location
