    Chicken wings
    Ronnie A.

    Was always curious to try this place out and finally got the chance. Place was clean and empty so we got seated quickly. Service was great and the food was ok. It was good enough to satisfy a Chinese food craving. The chicken wings were very good and I would probably get again.

    The scrambled eggs chow fun with shrimp was excellent.

    Needed a lunch spot that wasn't a three hour wait (lol Whisper) - and this place seemed to call to…read moreus. Upon entering, I noticed that it is a sister restaurant to the Lazhou Noodles but before we could change our minds, the hostess sat us (lol). I went with the main beef noodle soup, and we also tried the dry noodles with spicy beef. I was expecting the food to be very similar to their sister restaurant - BUT the food here was so much better I was SO surprised. The broth tasted better, the noodles were higher quality, and the beef was also much more tender and had less gristle. it made me wonder if it was a fluke or if this location was just that much better as this restaurant was also much more crowded versus the other locations. I can't wait to come back and bring friends, and though San Mateo is parking is not as friendly, the food experience definitely makes up for it!

    Ordered here from UberEats to give this place a try. I haven't tried their noodle soup yet so this…read morereview is subjected to change. However I am a dry/stir fried noodle type eater so I ordered the beef chow mein. I was surprised how quick and efficient they were with my delivery person to send the food to my house. As someone who is MSG sensitive but not as much as an adult than I was sensitive when I was a child, I was a bit surprised of the amount of MSG they used in the chow mein. I don't mind restaurants having MSG nor do I support banning the ingredient as I am a live and let live person. The moment I took my first bite I can feel the intense MSG flavor in it. But I'm glad I tried this restaurant anyway. If you need your MSG crave fix, try any of the dried/stir fry noodles. I haven't been to this restaurant but from the photos on here provided I may bring my family here one day.
