My favorites are definitely the Salted Egg Yolk Fried Prawn and Salt and Pepper Pork Chops. Service was quick as in when you need a staff, just wave them down and they'll come by. They bring out dishes in a good pace. Dinner service always ends with a red bean soup dessert but we got Steamed Malaysian Sponge cake as an extra as well. This place is always packed day time for dim sum or night for dinner service. There's some parking spaces nearby but can get pretty packed.

In another mixed veg dish, the veggie piece was stringy and not very chewable. A few dishes were overly salty. Hot and sour soup was very mild and different from the standard at other places, which is ok because half my table liked that and half did not, just preferences Service is fine and efficient! Casual ambiance, loud typical restaurant volume Appreciate the complimentary red bean soup in the end of meal!

They did add the 'New SF' prefix the name to distance themselves. Coming here on a Saturday after making dinner reservations on a late Saturday afternoon, I saw a number of familiar faces immediately. Half of their staff are from the Monterey Blvd. Won Kok Restaurant. This was my 1st time dining here in likely close to thirty years when it was another restaurant. Back to our meal, we were seated at the far end corner of the restaurant, prime location for spacing and restroom access. In crafting our menu, my friend chose several staple dishes from their original location; besides those, my friend was gifted a Bay-caught halibut so I asked the restaurant for suggestions in cooking it. The chef suggested cooking it two-ways. I knew the captain from his two previous restaurants (20+ years) and he guided us. Here's what we ate (family style): 1. Steamed surf clams with garlic and vermicelli noodles (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=lPyTuWkX4RoUtP-3fZ2UiA) - These were served in two halves on each plate (four plates for eight shells) for our party of eight. Tasty, flavorful, and fresh as their flagship location in San Francisco. 2. Soy sauce supreme seasoned prawns, 2.5 lbs (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=wYtIFMiiYTuhOa_CmggLrQ) - I actually requested "West Lake" shrimp but was subbed out by this. This was good, just not what we wanted and expected and definitely pricier. 3. Salt and pepper halibut (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=9scLPxW30ktLJK72UIrSBw) - Half of our provided fish was cooked this style. It was done well as you'd expect from the most famous R&G chef to go through their kitchen. 4. Sauteed pea sprouts with garlic (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=GDqjVZCqWnGvZ68sbHjqCw) - Pretty standard version and the pea sprouts were cleaned and trimmed well without any inedible or chewy pieces. 5. Pan fried pork spare ribs with soy sauce (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=x3xQew_Es07lW2dPJwB7BA) - This was the captain's recommendation and it was good but didn't stand out in any particular way. The ribs are cut into bite sized pieces and flash fried. 6. Simmered beef stew & turnip with pepper in broth (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=CAg60fXr0CfXtrcPVm2kEQ) - One of the signature dishes from the chef's days on Kearny Street that he continued at his Monterey Blvd. location. The portions are certainly enough for our large party as a family style dish. The broth is definitely the star and, for me, the radish (daikon). 7. Steamed halibut with black bean sauce (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=amzaLddp_H2vdSGzrKyYfQ) - The size of the fish made this tricky as, when the captain tried to remove the bones in serving, we learned that the fish was not fully cooked. He brought it back to the kitchen and they cooked this to a perfect cooking temperature. The flavors were nice and the black bean sauce didn't overpower the fish. 8. Golden fried rice with a touch of egg white (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=CZdyzi720mOckNXxHulS4g) - Another restaurant recommended dish, we were amazed at how tasty this was, given the simplicity of its description. Apologies for not having a full serving photo as the captain offered and agreed to him apportioning it in bowls for each diner. 9. Crispy skin roast chicken with garlic (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=TspHX9eknS496I3zXwVwlQ) - This is their innovative twist on the Cantonese favorite jia zhi chicken with a strong garlic flavor. The carving of the decorative chicken head (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=DaywI5br-WQb9hh0a5sgng) was impressive. 10. Green bean tapioca soup (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=12ljEfFOj8tqwIaBXHvTVw) - Complimentary, a nice ending. 11. Red bean paste pastries (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=MwjmcyVoyHVXnmPRWYuM8w) - Complimentary and okay. The theme here, given the restaurant size, is for banquet style meals and prices reflect it. By the time we left, the dining room and the staff were swamped. Highly recommend making reservations especially weekends. More likely to dine at their flagship but will come for special occasions or with South Bay friends.

It's a Hong Style cafe tucked in a corner of a Millbrae shopping plaza dominated by a car wash and an In-N-Out Burger. Very few of this type of business exist in my hometown so I came for a small snack after an evening event in an adjacent neighborhood. The dining room had fewer than ten tables for seating. What struck me when I walked in was the number of special menus that were available. They ranged from lunch combo specials, dinner combo specials, daily specials, afternoon tea set meals, and all-day dim sum. The advertising/marketing team had to be busy to come up with these offers. There was a Monday to Friday special between 5 and 9 pm in which you could pick any three unique dim sum items out of a set of ten choices for $12.95. I selected the Chicken Siu Mai, Beef Balls, and Fried Bean Curd Rolls for my order. Since I arrived near the closing time, I wonder if the kitchen was already winding down. It took longer than expected to prepare those items when there were just one or two parties left. Three pieces were in the siu mai steamer while the other steamers had two pieces each. Chicken siu mai is not a variety that we even have in SD which was why I picked it. The meat filling might be slightly healthier than the traditional pork & shrimp combination. My food was piping hot after waiting for it to arrive at my table. I found the quality to be average, but the value was very good. If I lived south of the city, then I would return and try other offerings from the main menu like the Hainan Chicken Rice, Baked Cutlet Pork Chop with Spaghetti, and the Braised Beef Wonton Noodle Soup. For the price and variety, I gave a four star rating for my experience at Stick & Steam.

My family and I got a mix of food to share and every other item was a hit or miss…read more Worth coming back for: the hainan chicken with scallion sauce and the sizzling green beans. Both were incredibly tasty. The chicken was tender and the beans were crisp and fresh! Just OK: the typhoon shrimp fried rice, daikon, and the typhoon chicken wings. The rice barely had any shrimp, but at least the rice had some good seasoning on it so it was fine to eat by itself. The chicken wings and daikon were nothing special. Hard pass: the salted egg yolk fries were soggy and just had a very bland taste. Adding a bit of ketchup helped a bit, but I only could eat 2-3 fries. Speaking of ketchup, I think the red sauce in the baked pasta was a mix of ketchup and some tomatoes. Tasted sweet and artificial. Service was fine - you order from a QR code so they deliver the food to the table in a pretty timely manner. Maybe the dim sum would've been better if I ordered more of it. Maybe next time.

This place has wonderful service, but not so much for the food…read more I love green onion pancakes, a Chinese classic comfort food. Here it was very doughy and flavorless. In fact we found every dish lacked flavor. From the noodles to the tofu to the green beans. Just bland and very raw tasting, like it needs to be cooked more. Lots of chewing since it's undercooked. Broth is salty and not like a rich bone broth. Think watery Ramen type broth. When we were here there was only one other table and some take out orders. I found their famous human smoked pork and tofu just plain lacking. The tofu had no flavor, the pork was equally plain, and the price was more expensive since it's their signature dish. Their hot and sour soup had way too much vinegar, and I couldn't finish it. No one was really impressed by any of their dishes, and no one wants to come back.

Black Pepper beef Ribs- delish! tender pieces with grilled bell peppers and red onion made this dish pair really well with rice. Fried rice with Scallop & egg white- a little light on the seasoning but still a decent fired rice dish which with the beef ribs dish was a match made in heaven. Seafood clay pot- more tofu than seafood but still a tasty and well seasoned clay pot. Also ordered a couple of dim sum plates (Shrimp dumpling & beef Balls). Both were on par with other dim sum locales so nothing negative about their flavors. Overall service was fine; given it was the lunch hour but all the food came out relatively quickly and would definitely have a return visit.

The dim sum here was excellent and reminded me of home. Not only did everything taste good but it was served piping hot and came out quickly. The breakdown of our dishes is below: Walnut Shrimp - Hot and plump shrimp that has a bounce in your mouth covered with tangy mayo. We enjoyed the light fry. Dried Scallop Egg White Fried Rice - Fragrant but oily and plenty of flavor. BBQ Pork & Egg Cheong Fun - Soft sheets of rice noodle roll with a generous amount of ingredients. Hargow - Very good with big shrimp and a sesame oil flavor. Shumai - Soft thin skin withmore seafood than pork taste. Chiu Chow dumpling & Beancurd roll were ok but had fresh ingredients. Chicken Feet - I liked the overall flavor but it didn't seep all the way in. Parking is challenging but the taste is well worth a visit!
