    My friend and I visited this place and ordered the chicken wings, the noodles (which were recommended by the lady working there), and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. When the food arrived, I tried everything. I really enjoyed the onion wings with their sauce and the noodles. However, I was disappointed with the chicken wings--they weren't spicy and lacked the flavor I usually enjoy in wings. The seating was comfortable, making it a nice place to relax and enjoy our meal.

    respectfully the dullest pad thai i've ever seen in my life

    came here on a late night because i was starving and very intrigued by the whole full bar and asian food situation. the two stars are for the kind and super generous staff, but the food was just not very good. we ordered crab rangoons, tom yum noodles, and pad thai. this place has a lot of good reviews so i am interested in coming back and trying other dishes, but the food really fell flat for us.

    We had the basil chicken, and it was tasty enough that we'd order it again. We also had the butter garlic beef. It was pretty good, and exactly what I was expecting and hoped for. One in our party thought the texture of the noodles wasn't ideal. The beef was good and tender, though. We also had the broccoli shrimp. Had a good amount of shrimp, a d the sauce was pleasant enough, but nothing special. Portion sizes were decent, prices weren't noteworthy either way, and food was served *very* quickly, and hot. We had two fried appetizers: the veggie spring rolls and the crab rangoon. Both were a touch too "well done". The outer crispy shells were a bit overcooked. Interior if the restaurant isnt anything special or noteworthy, but service was friendly.

    Belacan Okra

    Came here because it's near SFO and open late. Ordered the belacan Okra and Lao coconut noodle. For the price, they don't really give a lot of okra, but it was delicious. The Lao coconut noodle was a tad salty, but a solid choice as well. For food, I'd come here just for the convenience of being near to the airport and when other restaurants aren't open.

    Ordered food to go, paid $72 for spicy Thai fried rice, beef pad see ew, fried banana w/ ice cream & two Thai teas. When I received the Thai teas, I could see they didn't fill up the cups the whole way. When I fill up one cup fully with the other drink, you can see they skimped out on basically half of the other drink. Mind you these Thai teas are $6 each. I hate restaurants that obviously cut corners to save themselves money at the expense of the paying customer. If that's really the correct amount, maybe get a smaller cup or lower the price. Updating to account for food. Thai spicy fried rice was not spicy at all. My husband ordered pad see ew no spicy and that had some spice. Not sure if that's just the way they make it or if they mixed up the order. Overall food was okay. Not great, just okay. Would I pay $72 for this place again? No.

    12/15/25- We were flying out from SFO and our flight wasn't scheduled to leave until 11:30pm so we decided to go and grab some food. Upon arrival the restaurant was really cozy. Very welcoming atmosphere. The server was friendly. We ordered garlic butter noodles, broccoli and shrimp, vegetable fried rice and Thai fried rice (I don't remember if that's the exact name) we also ordered fries and an orange juice. Our order came out hot which was nice. The food was mid, but paired with the chili oil it was good. We were eating but unfortunately there was a hair towards the bottom of the noodle. We decided to leave the rest of the food. It was annoying but I didn't want to make a fuss about it. We let the server know and she agreed to remove the noodle from our tab. It would be nice if this restaurant encouraged their employees to wear hair nets.

    Good food and courteous service. We came here early at 5:15 and were one of the first clients. clean place. They have a full bar too. We will definitely be coming back.

    Thai wings & crab puffs ever

    Best crab puffs ever and I have tried them everywhere I've been. Service was great and we will definitely return. The flavor in the dishes were amazing.

    Ally W.

    This is a gem of a restaurant. Very friendly service, seems to be owned by family. My brother recommended we go here for a very late dinner as our plane landed in SFO. It's open until 1am! Usually restaurants don't open that late (that's what I love about NYC). Food was good-- lots of selection. I had the coconut noodle soup. Thank you for being open late so that we could grab a meal before we went home.

    BUTTER GARLIC CARB French fries not very good. Crab 100%
    Kayleen R.

    Crab. So good. Lots of flavors available. Lots of different cuisine here. Great noodles, crab rangoons, and the salt and pepper tofu was incredible. Service was so-so. First time we went she was super nice and explained things off the menu for us. Second time she was annoyed with any question and didn't want to come to the table for anything. We were the only ones in the restaurant so it's not because she was busy. We didn't order a vegetable side and she kinda judgingly asked if we were sure we didn't want at least one veggie side. No thanks, came for the crab and noodles, lol. Our soft drinks weren't refilled. It's a bar, not cute inside, but you go for the food. But we'll be back because the food was amazing and they're open super late.

    205 Curry Chicken Noodle Soup
    Maya K.

    The noodle soups are delicious! I saw other reviews recommending their thai/malaysian food, so I followed their advice and it paid off. They have some malaysian dishes that I don't see too often and will be back to try. Service was quick and friendly. They have a vast menu and full bar. Highly recommend for a late night bite!

    Rocelle F.

    Beware: The food is loaded with MSG. It's dry AF and despite leaving a 20% tip, the service was lacking. And soda tasted rusty, idk. I'm not coming back!!!

We made our way to Millbrae and on to El Camino. We parked around the corner and were seated right away. It was a fairly busy Thursday night but we were glad we didnt have to wait. There was a rotating skewer-ready charcoal grill at each table and we ordered a variety of food. We ordered garlic oysters in the half-shell ($10.95). This was cooked in the kitchen and brought out. It was delicious. We ordered prawn skewers that were a big size and came one per skewer. We had Japanese wagyu ($25.95), prime beef ($6.95), pork jowl ($3.95), shitake mushroom ($2.95), chicken thigh ($2.95), pork sausage and marinated meat skewers. We enjoyed everything that came out. Service was great and attentive. It was pretty much one server for the entire restaurant so she was running around to all the tables... The meats were good and the ones that were pre-seasoned were good too. Otherwise the dipping sauces were tasty. They bring out the skewers little by little and you can place the cooked meats on this rack-like contraption that sits near the grill and eat them at your own pace. I really liked this concept. I would certainly go back again.

    My husband and I had dinner here tonight, and overall it was a really memorable experience. We've…read moretraveled quite a bit and tried sushi in many different cities, including around the Los Angeles area where we live and have our favorite spots. So when we visit a sushi restaurant, we tend to evaluate everything as a whole -- price, quality, service, and of course the flavors. For dinner we ordered the Mango Tuna Roll (which was our first time trying a mango-style sushi roll), the 8-piece Omakase Nigiri, a Double Toro Roll, two pieces of Otoro, and a hot sake. With a 20% tip included, the total for the two of us came to $163.50, which honestly falls within the average range of what we usually spend for a sushi dinner like this. Normally we might pay around $120-$130 depending on the place, sometimes a little more if we add an extra item or two. The portion sizes were pretty standard. Not unusually large, but not small either -- similar to what we've experienced at many other sushi restaurants. Where this place really stood out was the depth of flavor. The quality and balance of the ingredients were excellent. At one point I actually caught myself closing my eyes just to focus on the taste, which is something I almost never do. The preparation felt very refined and the flavors were elevated, rich, and memorable. I would describe it as delicate portions with very elevated flavors. Because of that, I'm giving this place 5 out of 5 stars. This is the kind of restaurant that works perfectly for a nice dinner with your partner. It's not necessarily a place where you go wild ordering everything on the menu like at a taco spot. Instead, it's better to be thoughtful with what you choose and enjoy a few well-crafted dishes. You can easily have a special, enjoyable dinner here without going overboard. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the area and want a quality sushi experience with refined flavors. The only thing I felt was missing was a small welcome miso soup. In some sushi restaurants we've visited, they serve a tiny cup of miso with a couple pieces of tofu as a warm welcome. It's a very small gesture, but it creates a nice first impression and adds a sense of hospitality to the experience. Considering the quality and pricing of the menu here, a simple welcome miso soup would fit perfectly with the overall dining experience.

    Nice sushi spot in the area! Overall had a good experience here…read more This place is located in a small shopping plaza so there is plenty of parking. Glad I made a reservation on Sunday night for dinner as it did get a bit crowded. It is moderately sized. For 2, we ordered 2 appetizers and 2 sushi rolls. We got the eggplant, corn tempura, a mango salmon roll and a dragon roll. Everything came out quickly and was very fresh. I saw that the salmon roll was spicy but it was hardly spicy so that was a good thing for me. I enjoyed the corn tempura, perfectly crunchy and flavorful. The eggplant was also unique and tasty. It was enough food for two. Everything was a bit on the pricy side but the quality was there. Would come back to try other things and the omakase.

Lots of tiki and beach items. The space itself isn't too big, so there are some high tops, tables, and an outdoor seating area--but tables are kinda close together. There's a lot of local music playing, which I loved. The staff who served or helped us were nice and friendly.

I had the Silog Breakfast with Sisig, and my Dad had the Impossible Loco Moco. I found my dish to be just fine; it didn't blow me away. It was tangy, but I wish there were more flavor. My Dad said his dish was decent. I'd probably order something else if I were to come back. If you're looking for something distinct . Find the restaurant in Westborough Square with parking in the free lot. My little taste of the 808 here makes my Dad and I miss it even more--mahalo Hula Hoops!
