We originally…read morejust wanted coffee but after seeing all of the display dishes we decided to try some of the food too. We ordered at the counter and the staff were all friendly and helpful. We walk into the dining room and there were several open tables. The space is pretty big with several people there working on their laptops I ordered a Vietnamese coffee and it was strong and delicious. For food I ordered a bacon cheddar quiche and a mushroom Gruyère toast. The quiche was flavored pretty well it was just a bit dry. And I wish it were served hotter. It came with a simple side salad that was tasty. The mushroom and Gruyère toast ended up being my favorite. The Gruyère got melty from the hot mushrooms and the balsamic drizzle on top was a perfect touch Overall we were very happy with our drinks and satisfied with the food we tried. Would come back to try some of their other menu offerings. The display case is really doing work in making you want to try everything

Very interesting location and pick up. Walk into a warehouse style location, check in via phone,…read morelocker opens up, and grab your food and go. Ordered the carnitas mixto bowls with cilantro green sauce and juicy pulled chicken with mole sauce. Also added avocado to the mixto bowl and I have to say it wasn't worth the cost; was given maybe 1/4 of an avocado for $1.95 (Safeway has it for $2 for a whole avocado). The flavor of the carnitas was ok but the chicken was very tasty! I was hoping for more mixed greens since it was supposed to be a salad not a rice bowl. Overall I think I would order it again but only a chicken Mixto bowl and see if I can ask for less rice.

If you want some ramen in San Mateo, give them a try!

We tried the Milpitas location before and noticed this location had just opened, we decided to give…read moreit a try. We ordered the spicy tsukemen, spicy ramen, and Sand Storm calamari. The tsukemen here was definitely an improvement compared to our previous visit. The broth was thicker, richer, and the meat was more tender. The spicy ramen, however, had a broth that was just as thick as the tsukemen. I found myself slurping a lot of the fatty broth, and it felt a little too heavy for my preference. We asked if they could add some hot water to dilute it, and the adjustment made a huge difference -- it went from a 2-star experience to a 4-star one for me. The Sand Storm calamari was delicious, just like at the Milpitas location. Service was courteous and quick, and the restaurant had a nice, clean, and comfortable atmosphere. Overall, a solid experience, and I'd come back again -- especially for the calamari.

3.5*** Rando place…read morethat's right across from an industrial building and surrounding area so, it feels like you're lost and plus parking isn't great. Despite that, service was great. There's seating inside and outdoors. It looks linked to an actual kitchen - guessing that's why it's called Kitchentown. Taste testing done on site in addition to production? If so, that's efficient! The food looked yummy! Ordered: Egg-tine 7/10 The black sesame seeds were good but then the sunflower seeds adding with the cheese in the center, uhh, it was ok. I took off the center - see pic of actual product with the center in tact. That made it taste better. The croissant was my fave part - crispy yet flaky and oh so soft in the middle. Jamon fromage 10/10 Basically, a ham n cheese croissant. This was delish. Unsure if you've eaten at Croissante; but, their jamon fromage isn't that great compared to this. Theirs has mayo, which completely throws off the taste for me. In any case, this was a success. Latte 3/10 Way too milky and not enough flavor.

Had low expectations coming here and was pleasantly surprised!…read more Food: T-he braised beef noodles were amazing. Noodles were chewier than most beef noodle soups I've had and the beef pieces were very tender and soft. The soup wasn't too spicy by itself and had alot of depth and flavor. -Pro-tip: There is a little self-serve station near the kitchen where you can get add'l condiments like cilantro, green onion, chili, and pickled daikon. SCORE. Add in the cilantro/green onion for a flavor explosion. -Ordered one of the combo noodles + 2 sides. For my sides, I got a blanched bok choy and a fried gyoza. The bok choy was needed to help cut the spiciness of the soup and to add veggies b/c without it, you'd just be having carbs, beef, and soup. Gyoza was a win too. Service: FAST and friendly, just how I like my non-fine dining restaurant experiences. You scan a QR code at the table and then choose an english/chinese option. If you have questions, you can ask the staff, but there isn't a TON of options to choose from, so make it easy on yourself and order a noodle soup. Ambiance: Ample seating at 1:30pm on a Sunday. Didn't have to wait, which was a big plus as all the other restaurants in San Mateo over near 3rd/4th and B street were packed. Overall: Highly recommend and would come again. This might be my favorite niu rou mian spot!
