Heard about this restaurant from friends who say that it serves authentic Hong Kong cuisine and managed to visit it on a Friday night for dinner. As expected, there is a good crowd of diners and the two of us had to wait for about 15-20 mins before we got our seat. As expected, the food is good for the few dishes that we have ordered. Also, from the manager’s mouth, we learned that the restaurant has been operating in this location for 30+ years. A note: service will improve if you are speaking Cantonese throughout your meal.

Probably the worst time I had in the Bay Area sadly… I feel that when you go to Chinese dim sum establishment, they should make the two basic dishes well. Pork and shrimp dumpling and the taste and flavor was really missing.
The noodle wrap Chinese donut rice noodle roll was an absolute miss! The donut in the center was undercooked and chewy, and the noodle was undercooked and grossly under cooked.
Pineapple egg custard bun was the best of all the dishes. Second was the steam spare ribs. Cooked enough with the right amount of flavor. It did taste delicious! But that did not save the overall meal.

Insanely good for dim sum and dinner. This has become a regular spot for us
Almost everything I had was spectacular: chicken feet, pork buns, fried rice noodles with pork. For dinner, we liked the pork ribs clay pot and tofu clay pot. The mixed vegetables are just ok.

This restaurant mandates tipping. In the US, tipping is voluntary, and they seem worried you won’t tip. The first time I paid, their machine malfunctioned and made me swipe my card again. As a result, my bank account showed two transactions, and both were successfully deducted. They could have used a void refund to immediately return the money, but they insisted on using the refund function, so it took two days for the money to arrive. I found this extremely inconvenient. Furthermore, the tableware also had some stains.

One of the best Cantonese restaurants in the Bay Area
Location: very convenience but could be a challenge to find parking during dinner time
Service: very attentive staff
Food: omg. Every dish is just right
Atmosphere: Just like any authentic Chinese gathering place

Have heard about this place for a long time from a friwnd, and finally got a chance to dine in for dim sum and dishes. So far the best dim sum place in south bay area. The pictures were taken after we tasted and ate some of them before realizing taking photos. The sauteed chicken feet is very flavorful, tofu skin curd is mouthful and not tangy, and each shumai has two whole shrimps. The lamb pot is also very delicious. Highly recommend to try it out here. But be careful you would want to come here early enough for a weekend lunch.

Good place. They are actually open till 1am. The food was delicious and came out quickly. I got the garlic pea sprout and black pepper beef, both good.

We order the following:
1) Truffle roast duck – I recommend. If you like roast duck and truffle, this is your kind of dish.
2) Lobster lo mien – fresh lobster and slippery, saucy noodles. Delicious and seasoned well. Not salty.
3) Snow pea leaves – bit on the oily side, which is not my preference. I usually like it freshly tossed in the wok with garlic.
4) Tofu with sautéed ribeye steak and broccoli – I love tofu. The steak had good wok hay and very tender. I recommend this dish.
Very traditional chinese restaurant. Service is OK, but the food speaks for itself. Everything was very tasty.

This is a good place for our New Year dinner, Cantonese restaurant. Ordering in advance can save us waiting time, great! The serving size was average, and six of us basically completed nine dishes. The dishes taste good and the service is attentive. Recommended and worth visiting again. Give a like!
Update: … We got together there again this Thanksgiving. As always, we can make an appointment to be seated on time. It takes more than seven people to make an appointment. The dishes are still delicious and plentiful, and the waiters are as warm, courteous and quick as ever. Very good! Thanksgiving dinner for my family was very satisfying!

Under new management, The Kitchen’s dim sum menu is truncated compared to other dim sum restaurants in the Burlingame/Millbrae area. The place was packed on a Monday after the Lunar New Year weekend as a lot of people don’t have to work today. The food was OK. You can order the dim sum from a paper menu. There is a single dim sum cart that roams around. The confusing part is, some of the items we ordered from the paper menu were available on the cart only. The dim sum cart never came by our table. We had to ask one of the waiters for help to get the shrimp dumplings and sticky rice chicken for us. Total before tax and tip for two was $70. Service was excellent.
