    Roasted garlic crab OG
    David V.

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed PPQ Millbrae before! Weve been enjoying their dishes for quit some time now and is a must have when were craving Dungeness Crab! We brought my mom here for her birthday dinner and the team did not disappoint! First off we we walked in, party of 6, without reservations. The dining room was bright, 3/4 filled with patrons. We were warmly greeted then promptly seated. Shortly after our server approached us, asked if we had questions, then took our order. Short time after our food started coming out which we all feasted on. We were all completely satisfied, bellys full from everything we ate. The ervice was awesome, kuddos to the team for being so attentive. We'll definitely be visiting and enjoying again at PPQ Millbrae soon!

    I came here for mother's day for the first time with my parents. We got the meal combo for 3 people and it was a lot of food for such a good price!! We enjoyed the crab, garlic noodles, the salad and the fish the most! It comes with ice cream at the end as well. I'd recommend making a reservation since it seems it could get busy there! Will be back soon!

    I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed our meal here. For three people we got the "Dinner for 2" with an additional crab fried rice. It ended up being a perfect amount of food. Everything was quite good but my favorites were the peppercorn crab and crab fried rice. The peppercorn crab had a thin coating of batter on the outside that tastes light and crunchy without being oily. The crab fried rice had terrific flavor. Chicken cabbage salad and imperial rolls were decent as well. The house garlic noodles tasted just okay for me. For ice cream, I enjoyed the mango more than the coconut! I'd definitely come here again as it was also a fun eating experience digging into the crab.

    Good O PPQ. It is always a great meal here. Food and service are solid. One of our longtime cycling friends have not been here before so it gave us a chance to bring him. He loved it and is a very picky eater. Meal for four adults and two kids was $420. Service fee is automatically added. We ordered separate dishes as supposed to the set meals. We had crab asparagus soup, two garlic noodles, peppercorn crab, roasted crab, shrimp papaya salad, sea bass, tofu, eggplant and string beans. Everything was fine. They have changed the recipe for the peppercorn and wasn't as good as before. Regardless. Good meal. Thank you everyone at PPQ.

    Came after a recommendation from my cousin as they have been to the one in SF, surely a great one! If you like crab and lobster, this is the spot for you! Friday night and had to wait! There was a decent amount of people but was seated right away. The menu is pretty clear cut but they also have pre-set menus which is what I opted for. Dinner for 2 set included 1 chicken salad, 1 crab dish, a garlic noodle, and ice cream afterwards. We added a peppercorn wings too which was amazing as well! All dishes exceeded expectations! I can't wait to try their other flavors of crab and other dishes. The service was fast and nice. A lady took our order and another served us our dishes. The lady was even nice to give us 3 ice cream scoops since the prefix only came with 2! The restaurant itself reminds me of a Chinese restaurant with hints of boiling crab decorations. I will say though it was a bit difficult to find parking where we had to find street parking since there a bunch of other stores on the lot. Nonetheless, that will not stop me from coming back, the food was so comforting and service was superb!

    I've been to their SF location numerous times and always ordered the fixed menu, it always seemed like a good deal. BUT boy has those prices climbed up! It was almost not worth it anymore. I made reservations through YELP, no issues there, easy peasy. When we arrived, we go seated right away near the window. We ordered the fixed meal and 1/2 dozen fresh oysters. :) Fresh oysters - fresh and very good! :) Chicken salad w/fish sauce dressing - good but nothing really special, I remembered it to be better in SF location but that was a long time ago. :) Egg rolls - I love their egg rolls, wish they gave us more. Piping hot and stuffed with yumminess inside :( Egg yolk crab - I know Crab season have not opened up yet and it shows in the crab. My first bite was a mushy mealy texture but luckily, it was only on that 1 bite. The egg yolk flavor was not as deeply flavored as I would like it to be... I've had better at the SF location and other establishments. Wish we ordered the butter garlic one instead. I wish I came out feeling I got a good value and deliciousness for the bucks I spent.

    PEPPERCORN PEPPERCORN I WANT THAT STUFF ON ALL MY DISHES i will literally order whatever dish that has their peppercorn seasoning on it, because its a certified fire dish, no matter what protein you get! fried tofu - YUPP, the tofu is still so soft inside, but crispy and flavorful on the outside. get that peppercorn seasoning that is overflowing on the plate and just eat that all in one bite, goddamn its delish fried chicken - again, with the peppercorn, it makes it tastes so good and they really marinate their chicken well shrimp - yeah, i think you are getting what I am putting down. with that peppercorn seasoning. oh and get the garlic noodles to go with this and then add more peppercorn seasoning If i ever need to pick anyone up from the airport or drop them off, im going to make them come straight here because its so close to SFO, its the perfect excuse!

    PPQ never disappoints! We normally go to the location in SF, but we're closer to the airport and decided to come to this location. There is a lot so parking here is super easy! The restaurant is also large, open and airy! Service is always efficient and friendly. In this visit we ordered the $200 family meal and it was amazing! Crab is always perfect, and this comes with garlic noodles, fried spring rolls, green beans, barbecued pork and fish. Everything was so, so good! And everyone got to choose which ice cream cone they wanted for dessert. Will probably only come to this location from now on to avoid the problem I always have finding parking in the city!

    PPQ Millbrae- roasted crab
    Dina V.

    Made reservations on Yelp for 5, on Christmas Day for 3:45PM. Wanted to eat before the rush and crowds came. Good decision. We were the first ones in and then the crowds started to stream in. 2 of my kids don't really eat crab, one said it's too much work, lol. We started with the fried calamari and it was just okay. Definitely from frozen. I've had better. I think maybe we should have had the fried spring rolls instead. We ordered the steak cubes for the non crab eaters and albeit it was very tender the taste was more on the sweet side. Maybe we should have opted for the peppercorn short ribs instead. Garlic noodles are always a must. Goes well with anything and everything. We ordered the two grabs and both were delicious. I definitely sat on the wrong side of the table bc the crabs were sitting in front of the 2 big crab eaters. No claw left unturned. Love the sauce of the roasted crab, it's so good on rice and the salted egg yolk has a delicious flavor as well. I could probably eat one crab to myself.

    Came here at 5pm on a Saturday to celebrate my niece's 17th birthday. At this time, it was easy to find parking and we were seated immediately. There were 10 of us so we ordered the dinner for 10. Everything was delicious! The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean, comfortable and didn't feel too crowded. We enjoyed a delicious meal with 3 crabs. As you can see, I forgot to take a picture of most of the dishes until we were finished eating. We still had enough to bring leftovers home.

    Always fantastic! Our go-to for garlic crab but usually the old Geary location. Parking much easier here! Food every bit as delicious!

    Garlic Steamed Crab
    Jessica L.

    Great spot for crab sets for big or small groups! We love coming here with a large group since they have set menu options that are easy. My favorite crab is the peppercorn, but they're all so good! They have a lot of Various crab options from steamed to fried, so there's something for everyone. The chicken, garlic noodle, veggies, and steamed bass are all amazing as well. We added on a salted egg yolk shrimp which was really unique and delicious, like salted egg yolk chips! The interior is clean and casual, a nice atmosphere for chatting. The service was really good, everything came out quickly and we were never wanting for anything! One of the best crab spots!

If you're near SFO, don't waste your appetite on another chain restaurant. Come here instead. Just one warning: after one visit, you'll start hoping your flights get routed through Millbrae.

We started with a Combination Appetizer which, among other things, included minced shrimp on sugarcane, but I was only after the imperial rolls. Tasty pork filling in a sufficiently-bubbly wrapping. The soup in my Pho Ga had as much flavor as you'd expect from a clear broth. It had a hint of garlic & onion, I added an obscene amount of lime & sriracha to enhance the taste. A solid bowl with white chicken breast & slightly al dente noodles but the pho restaurants I frequent have more complexity to its broth. La Petite Camille is a small, bustling spot with staff who get parties in & out. Their regulars will be pleased to know I won't be taking up one of their tables in the future.
