Popped by again for takeout. We ordered the fried vermicelli with seafood in XO sauce and the pickled fish. To our surprise, the pickled fish actually came with a generous portion of glass noodles as well. Everything was delicious, portions were huge, and prices were reasonable. Food was ready in less than 15 minutes from when we called. One note: they don't accept Apple Pay. read more

This place wasn't super busy when we showed but the the staff were super hospitable. The food was delicious and we will be returning here! Highly recommend trying it out read more

Gourmet Village is a hidden gem. They have a large menu of interesting dishes, and the quality is always good despite very reasonable prices - unlike most other restaurants, they kept their prices quite similar to pre-Covid days'. Adding to that, their staff are always responsive, friendly, and courteous. They are also flexible with their menu options if you want some variants. It's our go-to place if we want a nice dinner without breaking the bank. Highly recommend it! read more

I have ordered lunch and dinner from here a few times. Lunch was Hot and Sour soup. I was asked small or large. Fretting that small would be a pint, I ordered a large. A large order is two quarts of soup. I literally wasted a quart because it was not hot nor sour. Really bland. Lunch specials do not exist here and I have walked down the street for one. Another disastrous review. Ordering dinner in a pinch- was four specific dishes to-go. Whatever happened to feeding your family for $35? The prices on their menu are astronomical!!! Not even potstickers or some kind of soup included. My fried rice, chow fun and broccoli beef were full and delicious- but way overpriced. I placed my order and picked it up after 20 minutes. The person who took my order was pleasant. The restaurant was empty. read more

Good food and great service It's rather clean as well Highly recommended. Will visit and bring friends who are foodie read more

465 Broadway Ave Millbrae, CA 94030 Gourmet Village is an old school, family style Chinese restaurant. It has a wide variety of items on it's menu. Prices are fair to pricey for what you get. Table setting is bare to basic. If you need something, you have to ask for it. After visiting family in the hospital, I went to Millbrae's Broadway Ave to grab a meal before heading home. I decided to try Gourmet Village because they have Claypot entrees on their menu. This restaurant is cool because they have booths as well as tables. Server brought tea and a menu. They were busy with a takeout customers, so I had to wait a bit. I ordered: - Braised Chicken Tofu w/ Salted Fish Claypot - Hot 'n Sour Soup, Small - Side of Steamed Rice (equal to 2 bowls) The food was good, the flavors and portion sizes were okay. The Hot 'n Sour Soup for $6.95, could serve 2-3 people. The bowls provided are a bit small. The Chicken Tofu w/ Salted Fish Claypot was perfect for a cool evening. This dish is one my favorite chinese comfort foods. The clay vessel retains the heat, and keeps the food warm for awhile. Maybe Salted Fish Chicken Tofu isn't for everyone, but if you like it.....you love it. I have it over steamed white rice in a small rice bowl. I will definitely return and try other claypots. Total w/out Tip= $25.65 read more

Delicious food and very nice people. Clean dining area and clean restrooms. Reasonable prices.

Very solid Cantonese food at a great price! I feel like you can't find dishes under $15 anymore at these types of restaurants. We got the beef chow fun and pork chop baked rice. Both were huge portions. Beef chow fun had great wok flavor, bean sprouts were crunchy. Pork chop baked rice came piping hot, pork chops were flavorful, fried rice also had great wok flavor, and it had plenty of sauce to pair. The service was typical of any other Asian restaurant so don't let the poor reviews deter you from trying this place out! Our total was $31 after tax. Happy to support a local business!! read more

Been coming to this place for years, delicious food and great price and quality dishes. Ordered salt and pepper pork chops, seafood and tofu clay pot, country rice noodles and hot and sour soup. Nice portions will last for two meals. Owner will honor request for low salt and less oil dishes. read more

After the Covid the foods are taste different, either they are too sweet or no flavor on the noodles

We brought in a fresh 3-lb lobster and catfish from 99 Ranch Market for the chef to prepare. He added longevity (ee mein) noodles to the lobster, and upon request, tofu in black bean sauce and spring onions to the catfish for $45. Great deal! Both dishes were delicious and wonderfully prepared. We also ordered the Hong Kong style sweet and sour pork ribs with green peppers, pineapple and onions plus pea sprouts (always a favorite). Only one server for the entire restaurant. I took off one point because of ambiance. The light fixtures were dirty and needed to be cleaned. Some light bulbs were burned out and needed to be replaced. Street parking. Overall, my family decided this is a restaurant we will patronize in this manner again! read more

It was relatively empty on my visit--no more than 3-4 small tables occupied and it was well after the lunch crowd. I walked in and waited for what seemed to be a long time before anymore came out and I wasn't able to get anyone's attention. I was finally seated and given tea, but no menu was given to me and I had to wait to get anyone's attention to get a menu. You figure once seated, you would automatically get a menu! I didn't bother looking at the menu closely and only focused on they Hong Kong style lunch offerings. I was craving and initially ordered the Portuguese baked chicken, but she said they don't have it at this time. I just ordered what came to mind, without looking at the menu and got the baked pork chop. My order came out relatively quickly and it was a fairly large serving. The flavor was good; the dish was smothered in tomato sauce with 2 medium sized pork chops, albeit a bit fatty and served on a bed of rice. Overall the dish was acceptable, but the service was lacking. read more

Service was great. Food was tasty and well portioned. The restaurant wasn't noisy nor crowded. I'd go again. There's 10 or so parking slots at the restaurant but fortunately there's ample street parking within a block or two. I would hesitate returning. read more

All the food was delicious. No complaints for any of the dishes. The beef chow fun was reminiscent of SF Chinatown back in the day. The wait staff was friendly and exuded a warm welcoming feel. Will probably be my go-to for Chinese food in the area. read more

This restaurant has about 5 large banquet tables. If you have a large party and did not plan ahead, you are in luck. Finding seats here would be easy. The place has a steady stream of customers, but not too busy even on weekends. Menu is extensive. Food is on the salty side. Ask for less salt if you're watching sodium intake. read more

As I continue to explore new restaurants in downtown Millbrae, I decided to take a chance and try out Gourmet Village. Being a fan of all things sauce, I decided to go with the baked Portuguese chicken over rice. This dish came out incredibly hot, so hot that you gotta let it sit and air out unless you wanna burn your tastebuds. The dish itself was ok, and I found myself adding more salt and pepper. The egg in the rice is a nice touch, and overall for the price and portion, it was pretty filling. My favorite dish had to be the salt and pepper chicken wings. A very classic dish that I really enjoyed. For $7.95, it's a great appetizer to start with. Came in after 7pm with plenty of seating available. There's no music or TVs playing, and with a near empty restaurant, it was definitely a put on the AirPods and listen to a podcast type vibe for this solo adventure. Food came out quick, and the service was polite. If you are looking for no-frills, big portions, affordable Asian fusion food, it might be worth a try for you! read more

Don't get turned off by the three star review. The food here is good and the pricing is good. It's a HK style cafe so if you are expecting good service then you are at the wrong place. It's like expecting attentive service at McDonalds. I get take out here regularly after I gave this place a chance. The chicken wings and the HK style pan fried noodles are both great and are things I get on a regular basis. read more

Terrific service - fast and attentive. Food is pretty solid. Good choices on the menu from standard American style Chinese food to some spaghetti dishes. They could add more servings to each dish, but pretty minor and nit-picky. A lot of restaurant choices in the area, so this place is a really good choice. read more

I am not impressive with this place at all. Super downgraded family - style restaurant. They need to reorganize their to-go boxes which it's too presentable to the dinners here . Totally not recommended this place to those want to have a pleasant meal experience . read more

Best place that does flat rice noodles. Scrambled egg, prawn, flat rice noodles is my go to order from here. Beef chow fun and Singapore noodles are good too. Salt and pepper shrimp, Mongolian beef, sweet and sour pork are also good. Pretty quiet spot read more

Really good home-style Chinese food at a great price. We had clams, fried rice and pork chops, all were well prepared fast, not over-cooked, and had nice flavor. read more

We ordered multiple dishes and honestly some of them were way too salty. Some of the dishes included the green beans and chow mein. Also, the black bean clams barely had any clam meat. More shell, less meat. Overall, I wouldn't come back here. I was disappointed because the Chefs probably didn't taste anything before they sent it out. TL;DR: Certain dishes were too salty. If I wanted to eat authentic Chinese food I'd just stay at home LOL. read more

Authentic Chinese food, reasonable prices, relatively good service from the owner. I like their sweet and sour pork, baked seafood with rice, salt and pepper shrimp, seafood tofu pot and stir fried bean sprouts. You can also bring your own seafood for them to cook. read more

Came to this Gourmet Village Restaurant yesterday on my day off from work!!! I have been several chinese restaurants in the City Of Millbrae Ca... While just shopping around at Millbrae Ca and when it was time to eat lunch so from there... I decided that I wanted to try eating at the Gourmet Village Restaurant which would be my 1st time ever eating here at the Gourmet Village Restaurant!!! As I got seated by the Hostess/Waitress and the good thing was it wasn't packed with a lot of people which was good for me!!! As I looking at the menu and all I wanted to eat was the Mince Beef W/Egg Over Steam Rice besides ordering that... I also wanted to order myself a Root Beer just to enjoy myself on my day off from work!!! As soon as my waitress came with my Mince Beef W/Egg Over Steam Rice and brought to my table... Only thing was it was cooked differently from the other chinese restaurants that I have been to... It didn't really matter to me!!! I still ate it because it tasted so good!!! Now that I finally ate the Beef W/Egg Over Steam Rice all I can say is this Gourmet Village Chinese Restaurant isn't that bad of a place!!! After reading some past yelp reviews and no I did not find any bugs in my Beef W/Egg Over Steam Rice... Which was a good thing for me!!! read more

Came here after dropping my grandma to the airport!! Was suppose to go to the restaurant right next to this but there was no one there which was kind of sketchy so we went to this place instead! There was about two other parties at the restaurant at this time, keep in mind it was a 7pm on a Saturday. It was definitely a small, hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant. The bathrooms and restaurant itself was pretty clean. As far as the food goes it was nothing special. As someone who comes from the Central Valley, I've had better more tasty Chinese food (that's probably saying something.) It was very MID tasting food. Our bill totaled to about $116 and we had a party of seven people. We ordered one order of the salt and pepper pork (this was good but basic), one order of those noodles (my least favorite thing we ordered, tbh I forgot what this was called), a half order of duck (didn't try this one), one order of honey walnut shrimp (Panda Express has better honey walnut shrimp lol, that's saying something), one order of the salt and pepper squid (this one pretty okay, not the best calamari I've had but not the worse, right in the middle), two orders of house special fried rice (mid.), and two orders of Chinese donut (which was me being dumb I thought it was a dessert). For someone who didn't eat anything all day, it was better than nothing, but it definitely could be better. read more

Looks like another change of ownership. The menu changed. It looks like Cantonese food. Prices are a lot better now. I used to love Gourmet Village a couple of years ago, and was sad to see them close. The replacement last year was not good. I saw a change of ownership sign in the front and a new menu so I decided to give them another try. Ordered a small Westlake beef soup, salt and pepper pork chop, beef with broccoli, and sea bass with creamy corn. Everything was done well. Not a single dish I didn't like. The salt and pepper pork chop was tender, not over fried, or dry. The broccoli was green and still had a little texture to it, just the way I like it. The beef was super tender too. You have to eat the sea bass fast before the creamy corn makes it soggy. It has a good complement of textures (crispy and saucy). We had 3 people for lunch, and got a small Westlake beef soup. They said it was good for about 4 people, but we probably got 8-10 bowls out of it. Will be back to try the other dishes. read more

My mom loves Gourmet Village and will usually eat there/order take-out from this restaurant every week or two (so glad they're still open during these times!). The 2 dishes I always request are: 1. Mushrooms with Japanese egg tofu 2. Fried pumpkin with salted yolk The egg tofu is so good and I'm so glad we discovered it on the menu. We just happened to order it by chance one day and have never looked back. The fried pumpkin sounds greasy, but it's actually not too bad. The salted yolk is very addictive though and is the real reason I keep going back to this place. I do think the portion sizes vary quite a bit. One day you get a substantially large portion and another day, it'll seem to be very small. If portions were more consistent, I would definitely give them 5 stars. I remember the staff being attentive and pleasant though. I've hardly used my Mandarin skills since living in STL for the past few years, and was grateful they understood and were patient with my fumbling Chinese. read more

I love how I can ask to have no salt added to the food and they gladly won't. One in few places that I can eat without jacking up my blood pressure. To me they taste great. read more

Not good. Portions ok. Taste and quality not good. We will give a second try next time and update. In the mean time, there are better places in the Broadway St/El Camino area of Millbrae. read more

New Ownership with menu & food improvements! Family oriented environment, excellent customer service, food quality AND portion is good, bathroom and the restaurant is clean as well. I always order my favorite. The Hong Kong style Pork chop over rice and my brother had the sizzling steak. Pork chop over rice; the portion was HUGE! I could not finish it. TO GO BOX FOR SURE! Reasonable price for the portion. It's a lot bigger portion compared to other restaurants I've been to. Perfect amount of sauce (just the way I like it) for the pork chop AND the rice. I definitely enjoyed my food even more so since I haven't had it for so long! Sizzling Steak; came with black pepper sauce and poured onto the sizzling steak. Perfect medium rare and my goodness.. the pepper sauce was seriously on point! I had to steak a few pieces of my brothers steak because it was delicious. read more

Located in the heart of downtown Millbrae along Broadway Street is the Chinese Fusion restaurant. They have your variety of black pepper steak, baked spaghetti, chow mein chow fun as well as traditional clay pot and other Chinese dishes. We ordered the Salty Fish & chicken fried rice with the sea bass and vegetable and the eggplant in clay pot. And couple of bottles of Tsing Tao beer. I was so hungry that I forgot to take pictures of the food...... Agggghhh. Very tasty by the way. read more

A surprisingly great find! My family was hesitant about trying it out because what kind of Cantonese place doesn't serve milk tea?! Also, it didn't look incredibly inviting because there was zero decor inside. But anyway, the food portions were large and very yummy! We were very pleased with the food, with some minor issues (like the carrots in my baked rice was not cooked all the way) but it was overall a great lunch! If you're looking for a place to bring home leftovers for the next day and still be full today, this is the place! read more

Interior: the interior is clean and spacious! There are some booths, some big round tables, and a few smaller square tables! Overall I would come back again!!

I don't know if they deserve 2 or 3 stars. They were about to close in 30 minutes and still seated us. So I will give them an extra star for it. Food: 1.) sizzling chicken clay pot- 1 star. Taste is ok but it should change the name to sizzling chicken skin with bone clay pot. The portion is small and it's mostly skin with bone. It is cut into small pieces. It seems like all of it are cut from end of chicken wings. 2.). Salted fish fried rice- It's ok but I prefer those from other Chinese restaurant. I don't know if we just came in at the wrong time and chef are about to take their break. I passed the place a few times it seems not a lot of patron, so I am not willing to try again. read more
