    8 Piece Himali Chicken Momos
    Candice H.

    This place is the best!!! My go-to and must have are the chicken momos. Imagine dumplings with a bit a spices. Their garlic tika fries and cauliflower app are also fantastic. Their veggie momo is made with paneer, I believe, which is also very good. They have a great outside seating with space heaters. A great spot to people watch. The wine pours are heavy and very well priced. These guys always know our order. ;)

    What a great find! Traditional Nepalese momo and other indo-Chinese dishes. Plus they're open late--a rarity on the peninsula. Check it out next time you have a late-night craving for something homemade and satisfying.

    A mix of Indian, Chinese, and Nepali foods. They have both steamed and fried momos and I find the steamed ones are better. They offer two different sauces for their momos, which take 15-20 minutes to come out. Other than that, they have other well-sauced entrees and you can't go wrong with many of the different options. They have a nice outdoor patio on B Street and a good interior too.

    Vegetable Biryani

    Veg biryani- 2/5, average, barely any vegetable in it. Chicken chettinad- 3/5, this doesn't have any South Indian flavours, it is regular chicken masala. Paneer tikka masala- 3.5/5, decent.

    Came on a Wednesday early afternoon and it was pretty empty. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Biryani, Chicken Manchurian Chow Bowl, Roti, and Fried Paneer Momos. I highly recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala! The sauce was super creamy and the flavor was there. It was definitely my favorite dish and eating it with roti was also the move. The Chicken Biryani was also ok but it was definitely on the spicier side. I personally did not really like the Chicken Manchurian Chow Mein as I felt like the noodles like flavor and was not a fan of the chicken either. It was my first time trying momos and I personally like the fried paneer momos and the sauces that came with it, but next time I would probably tried the non-fried and non-paneer choices. I didn't know this at first until I tried it, but paneer is a type of cheese and they mix it some veggies for the momo filling. Overall the service was good and I think the portion sizes were also decent.

    Beautiful outdoor seating and conveniently located in the main street market. Easy ordering and we were off to a good start with the heaters working and table cleaned up. In $76 (before tip), we got: - lamb choila $17.50 - 2/5 - very chewy and hard. Served with stale white rice - gorkhali chilli chicken $14 - 2/5 - i was excited for this one after reading other yelp reviews but the quality of the chicken meat itself was very poor. Im having a tummy ache already coz of the low meat quality ingested in this visit - chai $4 - 1/5 - it actually came "cold" like not even warm :( complained to the server who then got us another one after 15 mins which was lukewarm (in a dirty cup this time) - chicken steamed momos $14 - 3/5 - decent taste and outer layer was fine too. Came with sauces which were good. Still $14 for 6 pcs seemed really high to me. -- Everest momos gives u 10 momos (with better taste) for $13 and same sauces. - butter chicken $15- 3/5 - creamy texture of the sauce was good and paired well with butter naan $4 but chicken meat's quality again was very low :( Not coming back until they improve their meat quality. The pricing is high already for small portion size so im not sure why their meat quality is so low in all dishes :( Not recommended!!

    Chicken Manchurian

    Ordered this late night after landing in San Mateo. Ordered Chicken Manchurian and Jhol Chicken Momos. The Manchurian was great, good quantity and tasted very good!

    Cute restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Sat inside with a party of 4. Had the dumplings, garlic naan, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, chicken wings and chow mien. The dumplings were great packed on the inside. The Garlic naan was soft, warm and full of flavor (a must order). The butter chicken was saucy and had lots of pieces of chicken. The chow Mien wasn't great, too many vegetables. Tandoori chicken was juicy and flavorful but was tough to cut off the bone. The wings were just ok, too saucy and not much flavor. Loved the Taj beer. Got a small then a large one after. Our waiter was so funny, happy we had him. He joked about all the dishes we ordered. Also when we asked for the check he joked that it was 500. We joked back asking if it was 500 rupees. lol

    Customer service was excellent and the food was very good. Don't expect a high end restaurant; this is small and kind of a greasy-spoon ambience, but the friendliness and sense of humor of the waitperson more than made up for any disappointment in venue. There were three of us and we decided to dine family style. We ordered the dal, steamed chicken momos, and lamb biryani. The dal came in a small metal bowl, but we were given two empty bowls so we could each try some; the serving was probably meant as a single serving, but sharing gave us each a sampling. It was very flavorful with lots of hints of different spices (one struck me while I was eating it, but, for the life of me, I can't remember what it was!). It was very, very good and would've made a nice light lunch for one person. The chicken momos (we ordered the steamed version) were okay; I thought the skin was a bit thick. They seemed to need some kind of sauce other than the sauces they brought to the table. Good, but not anything I'd go out of my way for! The lamb biryani was very good. The chunks of lamb were fork-tender and the rice was flavorful. I love biryanis and this one didn't disappoint as far as flavor went, but I would've loved a few more chunks of the lamb! I would definitely return if I was headed to San Mateo during lunch or dinner just because they were so nice!

    Tandoori Chicken Momos (6pcs)
    Lilian C.

    Super friendly service! Our host was so attentive and polite. The fried MoMo and tandoori MoMo taste amazing. Their MoMo sauce is refreshing and make you want to drown the MoMo into it! We also got their lamb curry. Perfect spice without feeling too greasy. If you are lamb lover like us, the lamb meat is tender with a little chew. Love the curry not overpowering the meat taste. Wish we have more stomach to try more of their Indo Chinese disheDefinitely coming back

    Manchurian, Garlic Naan, Veggie chow mein,

    Hands down the best Cheung Hing around. Dining here is good because the location is a fair size,…read moreclean and bright. Service is always consistent and the servers are friendly. Recently I stopped to pick-up dinner with the plan to have leftovers. I called my order in and was quoted 40 minutes for my order to be ready. My order consisted of salted fish and chicken fried rice (this location has the best around SF and the peninsula), bitter melon beef, chicken chow mein, Thai style fried vermicelli (my favorite dish here), salt and pepper chicken wings. We also received a complimentary bbq pork fried rice. Everything was fantastic and we had plenty of leftovers for a few days.

    San Mateo location, my usual favorite Chinese food…read more Won ton soup - might've been the first time I've ordered it here. Felt like having won ton soup to help a cold and cough. Big won ton filled w pork and shrimp. Bok choy Broth not much flavor, in a separate container since this was a take-home order. Curry Beef Stew I've never had Curry beef stew before, prefer chicken, curry, but for some odd reason, I decided to order this dish. It was underwhelming and I won't order it again. The Curry sauce itself was OK but the big long pieces of beef were somewhat gross, lots of fat. They added plenty of slices to onions and a few pieces of green pepper and Julienned carrots, but that's about it for being called a stew. So I learned my lesson by not sticking to my usual order, and won't order wonton soup or curry beef stew again.

    Prices have definitely gone up, but portions are still solid and the food was tasty overall…read more However, the service felt very rushed and a bit stressful. We were approached almost immediately after sitting down, and even after asking for a few minutes to look at the menu, the waiter kept coming back quickly, which made the experience feel pressured. We ordered pan fried buns and stir fried string beans, plus complimentary peanuts that were a nice touch. The waiter also recommended a "Chinese broccoli with beef" that wasn't on the menu, which felt a bit unusual. The restaurant was quite crowded with very close seating, so the ambience felt lively but cramped. Overall, good food, but the rushed service and tight seating affected the experience. :(

I've visited many times, and the consistency of the authentic flavors keeps me coming back. The menu is a deep dive into Shanghainese classics. My personal recommendations: ​The Staples: You can't go wrong with the Xiao Long Bao, Stir-Fry Rice Cakes, and the Sweet Spare Ribs. The Spicy Pickled Stomach and the Small Shrimp are favorites of mine. Their Cold Noodles and Yellow Croaker are excellent representations of the cuisine. ​If you visit during the week, check out their lunch specials. ​Service & Timing The kitchen is generally quite efficient. While a few specific items might take a bit longer to prep, most dishes arrive at the table surprisingly fast. Just be prepared for a crowd--it gets very busy during the lunch rush! ​There is a small, limited parking lot behind the restaurant, but it fills up fast. ​If there is an event at the San Mateo Event Center, street parking becomes very challenging. Plan to arrive a few minutes early or visit on a non-event day to save yourself the headache. Whether you're a fan of traditional Shanghai comfort food or just looking for a solid Chinese lunch, this place is a must-visit. It's officially approved by my friends from Shanghai, which is the highest praise a restaurant can get!
