Great Chinese spot, dare I say one of the best in the entire bay area. great familiar flavors, and on beautiful Broadway in Burlingame. Service is good but they could be a bit kinder. No doubt though you'll enjoy your dinner so much that won't matter. read more

food was great and the service was even better!! we were greeted as soon as we walked in and everyone was so attentive throughout our meal. the food was very yummy. the pan-fried string beans were great, but i do wish they had a little more crunch to them! my favorite dish was definitely the chow fun with beef -- if there's one thing you get here, make it that. the orange peel chicken and mongolian beef were also really good and came with very generous portions. i'm not usually in this area, but this is definitely a spot i'd come back to if i were!! read more

Honestly had my doubts before i convinced myself to try it. Im glad i was pleasantly surprised i was wrong about Wok! We had dinner there on a Tuesday night and it was empty. We has three dishes, combo chow mein, Malaysian Curry Clay pot and Basil Beef. They were all good but the beef and chow mein stood out. We will be return to try again. read more

This is a really family-friendly establishment in Burlingame with delicious Chinese food. The owner is clearly beloved in the community and knows all of his regulars by name. We ordered an assortment of items including the XLB, sizzling rice soup, kung pao chicken, mongolian beef, orange chicken, the singapore fried noodles, and the eggplant. Everything was delicious, and I was told that all of the sauces were made in house, which is rare! I really appreciated that all the veggies in the dishes were fresh and crispy, and not overcooked, which is not always the case in some of these dishes. Overall, a great experience and we will definitely be back! read more

Every dish we ordered for take out - mu shu veggies, spring rolls, walnut prawns, sweet and sour pork and Mongolian beef - was absolutely delicious!!

Overall, a solid lunch spot and staff was very friendly. Would definitely come back! read more

Young Can Wok Chinese Bistro - Chicken in black bean sauce - Chinese Near Me - Burlingame, California

These folks have some tasty Chinese cuisine! I do not get around to Burlingame often enough and I know I'm missing out on some great food in that area. I did discover on Yelp this little restaurant that's been around a while and gets great ratings from Yelpers. I did get around to order delivery recently from these lovely folks, it was pretty good! Yelpers once again did not disappoint with their high regards to Young Can Wok. Great service from what I read and a cute restaurant there in Burlingame on the main drag. I ordered the Broadway Fried Rice with prawns, Chow Fun with beef and Egg Foo Yung with chicken. Everything was pretty good and if you're a fan of Egg Foo Yung like me, it's pretty massive and does come with a side of gravy and includes fresh veggies in the foo yung and nice chunks of chicken. There are several ways to order aside from chicken. The fried rice has several options depending on your cravings. I ordered the fried rice with prawns and came with big fluffy, plump shrimps and veggies, really good and not greasy. The chow fun is your basic big flat rice noodles, stir fried with little chunks of beef, you can order other options other than beef. All the entrees were piping hot with fresh ingredients. All entrees were packed with care in my order. They included chopsticks, forks, napkins. Give them a try if you're in the area. I will definitely return. read more

A nice little family owned Chinese restaurant that I went to during a lunch break recently. It's in Broadway in Burlingame so you do have to pay for parking and there are parking lots nearby. The restaurant is in a corner and it's pretty clean inside which is a plus. Service is solid as well. You know what you're in for when you see chopsticks AND a fork set on the table. What I ordered: - Sesame Chicken Lunch Special ($15.95) with Corn Chowder Soup included - Mu Shu with Pork ($17.50) - Loose Leaf Tea ($4.25/Pot) You're probably wondering why their tea is even notable, but it's mainly because they don't use cheap tea bags and use actualy tea leaves to steep. In that case I consider paying for the tea worth it and I'm not tea expert, but the tea was really fragrant. It was surprisingly better tea than most authentic Chinese restaurants I have been to. My dad ordered the Mu Shu with pork and the plate with the filling of pork and veggies was absolutely loaded. If you rarely get to try Mu Shu then this is a great spot to try it out. The wrap comes comes in a container that said "tortillas" which was funny, but they were pretty good and had the perfect soft texture. I also ordered the Sesame Chicken Lunch Special for myself which comes with white rice and a soup of your choice which I opted for the corn chowder instead of the hot and sour. Their soups are pretty solid. The sesame chicken actually had a nice crisp and a good glaze to it. It wasn't really anything special and was really standard, but it was good enough flavor wise. The broccoli on the side was flavorless and undercooked although that was expected. The side salad was a little too heavy on the dressing. Overall a pretty solid lunch. I would say this is a pretty good option for some authentic Chinese food while also having your standard Americanized Chinese dishes too. While also having fairly reasonable prices. read more

Outrageously overpriced, subpar food. Bland, greasy, lackluster. A complete waste of money that left me angry and frustrated.

Young Can Wok is hands down the best Chinese food we have ever found. We drive all the way up from San Jose to eat there. Do yourself a favor and try the hot and sour soup and the Mongolian Beef, which comes out on a sizzling hot plate. The service is amazing. The owner is so friendly as is the entire staff. We've tried many dishes here and have never been disappointed. read more

Came here yesterday evening to celebrate Mother's Day to avoid the crowds on Sunday and was very happy with the experience. After hearing such great reviews from other people we were very excited with admittedly high expectations. We ordered soup dumplings, pan fried potstickers, phoenix wings, double pan fried noodles with beef, three coins in the fountain, generals chicken, and broadway chicken fried rice. The soup dumplings were fantastic and hot and exactly what we were hoping for. The potstickers were nice as well. These potstickers were definitely on the thinner side and reminded me of a Japanese Gyoza. The phoenix wings were savory, crunchy excellence. The general's chicken was crispy spicy goodness. The rice was well made with nice pieces of chicken and soy beans. This particular rice was more loose and not sticky and clumpy. I personally prefer my fried rice kinda sticky and clumpy so it wasn't my preference but it was still nicely made. The double pan fried noodles with beef was hands down my favorite dish and what I was most looking most forward to. It had the crunchy noodles but soon to be saturated with that delicious sauce with crisp vegetables and yummy beef. Just thinking about it makes me hungry again. The only dish that left a little more to be desired was the three coins in the fountain seafood dish. I was excited to order seafood with my mother because nobody in my house eats it therefore it is something I don't often make. This particular dish came with prawns, scallops, calamari, and sole. It's also one of the more expensive dishes on the menu. When it arrived at our table I wasn't sure what it was at first because it was so small with hidden pieces of seafood. The sole on the dish was tender and delicious but the calamari and the scallops were rubbery. Very unpleasant. Not only that but the dish itself was pretty bland and didn't have any distinct flavors. Definitely something I won't order again. Overall a lovely experience. The service was nice and accommodating. They were attentive and helpful with our baby which is so much appreciated. The restaurant is clean and well kept. Nice enough for a special night out but casual enough for a quick weekday lunch. We can't wait to come back and try more things! Thank you. No read more

Excellent food. Excellent service. Relaxing and welcoming environment. One of my favorite places.

Wow, what a gem! More than a neighborhood Chinese place, the food, services and decor are notches above. The interior is not fluorescent harsh unforgiving lighting, nor Formica tables with clanging ... it's gorgeous burnished wood with soothing lights, beautiful sense of serenity, plants, cloth napkins, lacquered chopsticks. The food is super fresh, everything from the walnut pumpkin prawns and garlic eggplant to noodles and Shanghai pork dumplings, not overly spiced, not greasy but light and the flavors shine through. The balance of ingredients so nothing was overtly done, none of that cloying sweetness or drowning in red chili flakes, nothing swimming in oil. Everything was just so so so freaking delicious, and this from the star of the produce and meat and seafood! We loved all of it and leftovers for my husband were even better. The service was exceptional: warm and friendly, attentive and charming, cracking jokes and genuinely engaging. Not at all was our server phoning it in (I got his name and forgot it :-( Their prices are very reasonable and portions huge, nodes than enough for several people to share. Love love love, can't wait to go back! read more

Another fine meal. Close to home. Ordered on line. Takeout. Great choices for dinner. Always a smile and quick service.

I got the one from my office, not from your restaurant. Do you mean If you don't provide the utensil, I should use my hand? Or if I get utensil, it should be from your restaurant? Making wonton everyday doesn't mean anything to the meat quality. You can make the wonton with not good meat everyday. Who is going to try this soup will know what I am talking about if they got good wonton soup before. read more

Pretty good takeout food for Chinese New Year. Got the combo fried rice, orange chicken, pumpkin walnut prawns/shrimp, green beans, and crab wontons. All were pretty good for takeout! Especially the chicken, rice, and wontons. The pumpkin was different and interesting, since it's usually just honey walnut shrimp. Not sure if I liked the pumpkin much, but the shrimp was great. read more

How do you order Bangkok Basil Beef, & the Sweet N' Sour Pork and they don't provide rice? Just meat? That's silly! They pick and choose who they want to give rice to! I literally spent $41 dollars for two things of meat & NO RICE! :( They didn't even want to explain why they refuse to give me rice. Some stupid excuse on how they don't give rice to anyone, because everyone doesn't eat rice! When I walked in they were all mean, and funny acting!!! They treated me coldly! I'd never step foot in this place again! The only reason they got a star is because the food was decent!!!!!!! Never again! Almost $40 dollars for no rice, and trash food! read more
