Came for lunch. For the lunch special. Great portion for my daughter and I. We both had leftovers for dinner. Lots of flavor. We got the chow mein with chicken and broccoli And I got the friend rice with Mongolian beef. It also came with sweet and sour soup

I was having a hankering for some good ole Seafood Sizzling Rice Soup and the Amazing Wok did not disappoint! Excellent and friendly service, and the food was served hot and fresh. If you haven't tried this kind of soup, I recommend ordering it with a small bowl of steamed rice, some lemon, and adding a small amount of red chili oil (or you'll choke a bit from the chili fumes if you go overboard with it lol!) The soup is large portioned, the seafood plentiful, and delicious! I used to have this soup with my dear departed mother back in the day at the now closed The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant that used to be located next door to Dennis Nelson Health Spa (then later The Crunch.)

The portion of food is good, and the taste is okay. The price is fair. Overall not a bad choice for a fast meal.

Stopped by Gin Mon for an early dinner & considering I've grown up in the area, this spot was new…read moreto me. We ordered the pan fried noodles, Fried Rice, Honey Walnut Shrimp & General Chicken. All dishes we well made and the shrimp didn't feel too heavy or overly battered. The waiter was attentive & kind, plus the restaurant wasn't too busy but even for eating around 3:45, there was a lot more than I expected. The restaurant is a simple ambiance but overall it's nice to sit and dine in. I would definitely suggest this spot for anyone seeking Chinese food that'll satisfy your craving.

Friend recommended this for potstickers ?!? I'll get to that…read more Ordered dinner for two to go , they DID make a substitute (cashew chicken, changed to kung pao chicken) . And an order of potstickers. First off , it's very expensive. But everything is now . For wonton soup, 4 potstickers , 1 kung pao, 1 sweet and sour pork, fried rice and a side order of potstickers it was almost $80 . The actual entrees were really good ( sweet and sour pork, kung pao chicken) service was friendly and fast . BUT I have been searching Redwood City, San Carlos , Belmont and surrounding areas for a decent potsticker. Sadly to no avail. Oddly enough the best potstickers are at cache creek casino over an hour away at Chang Shou. This place is no different. Their potstickers were undercooked perogies. Not sure they know what a potsticker is around here. Most places mislabel by calling them gyosa, or dumplings, or even buns. A good potsticker is firm, well cooked and as close to burnt on the bottom as you can get without actually causing a char. They are not ....wet, soggy, doughy, or a straight up undercooked pork bun. I would come back for the entrees but it's just too expensive.

Hands down the best Cheung Hing around. Dining here is good because the location is a fair size,…read moreclean and bright. Service is always consistent and the servers are friendly. Recently I stopped to pick-up dinner with the plan to have leftovers. I called my order in and was quoted 40 minutes for my order to be ready. My order consisted of salted fish and chicken fried rice (this location has the best around SF and the peninsula), bitter melon beef, chicken chow mein, Thai style fried vermicelli (my favorite dish here), salt and pepper chicken wings. We also received a complimentary bbq pork fried rice. Everything was fantastic and we had plenty of leftovers for a few days.

San Mateo location, my usual favorite Chinese food…read more Won ton soup - might've been the first time I've ordered it here. Felt like having won ton soup to help a cold and cough. Big won ton filled w pork and shrimp. Bok choy Broth not much flavor, in a separate container since this was a take-home order. Curry Beef Stew I've never had Curry beef stew before, prefer chicken, curry, but for some odd reason, I decided to order this dish. It was underwhelming and I won't order it again. The Curry sauce itself was OK but the big long pieces of beef were somewhat gross, lots of fat. They added plenty of slices to onions and a few pieces of green pepper and Julienned carrots, but that's about it for being called a stew. So I learned my lesson by not sticking to my usual order, and won't order wonton soup or curry beef stew again.

We lived in san mateo county for almost a decade and cant believe we just discovered peking alley…read more The food is soooo authentic and brings me back to my childhood in beijing. They have a number of nostalgic dishes including - lu da guer (驴打滚), jian bing, braised pork on the menu. We ordered peking eggplant- this is a must order on the menu! The eggplant was cooked perfectly (flavorful and delicate)- not greasy. The service was also amazing- the chef came out and checked on us a number of times. We had our kids and the chef gifted us sesame balls for dessert. The restaurant had a very mom and pop shop feel. Alot of the diners were regulars. It felt so cozy, casual, and relaxing. Ive been trying to introduce my kids to a traditional Chinese restaurant (not asian fusion like your pf chang)- Peking alley is the perfect place if you want to get some exposure to authentic chinese food. We cant wait to go back and try more dishes!

Peking Alley has a fun, authentic Chinese menu, but execution could use some work…read more Weekend Specials are available all day on the weekends, not just Chinese breakfast hours. Homemade Soy Milk - 1/5 I think ordering this at dinnertime when the soy milk has been cooking all day was a mistake. It looked fine, but it tasted burned. When I brought attention to it, the server said it was supposed to be that way, denying it was burned and awkwardly joking about it afterward. Unsweetened, so you need to add sugar yourself. Soft Tofu - 4/5 Soft tofu, wood ear, golden needles (daylily buds) in a thickened soup. Looks a bit like hot & sour soup in appearance and texture, but it's neither spicy nor sour. In a few spoonfuls, the soft tofu did taste burned to me, but I could overlook it mostly. Comforting to eat on a cold day. Chive Pie - 3/5 Impressively huge. However, because they are big, thin, and flimsy, you cannot easily eat this as a handheld. Not crispy or thick enough a pancake to hold the delicious eggs & chives filling. Cumin Lamb - 3/5 My friend seemed to enjoy the lamb, but she didn't eat any of the greens, telling me they were for seasoning purposes. I ate the greens, but this dish came out fast and wasn't warm or heated enough. Beijing Mu Shu Pork - 5/5 I enjoyed the taste and texture of this mix of pork, egg, wood ear, cucumber, and golden needles. We were forewarned that this dish doesn't come with pancakes, like typical mu shu entrees do. We received a complimentary shredded potato chilled appetizer (4/5) and warm sesame balls dessert (3/5). Sesame balls seemed overfried. Restaurant has its own dedicated parking lot, so servers are expecting you to enter from the door closest to that. We entered through the street main entrance, which caught them by surprise. Restaurant appears to be a converted house, so you can dine in various little rooms. Restaurant was cold inside. It seemed that one door would not necessarily stay shut. I also don't think the heat was turned up. I felt like all of us were wearing coats. I chose most of the dishes and let my friend order in Mandarin Chinese. The chef came out a couple times to check on us, but primarily interacted with her in Chinese.

I had a very nice early dinner at "King Chuan Restaurant" in San Carlos…read more I was there at around 4:30pm, on a sunny Tuesday. I got a tip from another Yelper that the food is good here. My server/waiter was an older gentleman. He offered me a table by the window. The table setting was very thoughtful. They offer chopsticks, but there's also a fork and knife wrapped in a red cloth napkin. They gave me ice water, but I also asked for hot tea. King Chuan has a detailed menu, with several dishes having a brief description. I ordered Wor Won Ton Soup. I asked for dark meat chicken only. They said "no problem." The Wor Won Ton Soup was very good. The soup had napa cabbage, carrots and broccoli. The chicken was tender and easy to eat. It also had pieces of beef and a few shrimp. The broth was light, and not salty. I also ordered the "Hot Dragon Chicken Wings." With a name like that, I expected very spicy wings. The wings were not spicy at all. In fact, I had to add salt to bring the flavor out. I was puzzled as to why these fried chicken wings have a mild flavor if they're served with spicy seasonings. I guess I was expecting something else. Overall, a nice experience. I would come back. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Street parking Also, Toot Sweet frozen yogurt is a few doors away.
