Reviews
Loved the truffle duck, skin was super crispy (must reserve beforehand). Squab is also cooked super well, the skin is so crispy. Meat is juicy and flavorful. Must order truffle fried rice or golden egg fried rice, there was SO much “wok hay.” Every kernel of rice was coated in flavor. You can tell the chef’s skill when tasting their fried rice and it is beautifully done at Won Kok Millbrae. Salted egg yolk shrimp or crab is also delicious. Not one bad thing to say which is super rare for me AND for a Chinese restaurant. The only downside is how popular it is with the locals and it’s hard to book. But even with a full house, the kitchen is able to crank out deliciousness. We prefer this location to the SF one.
We came for lunch and made a reservation since dim sum places can get pretty packed. The interior looks exactly the same as before — no noticeable updates.
We ordered a couple of dim sum platters, veggies, and porridge. Overall, the food was actually very good this time. Everything was tasty and well-prepared except for the pork knuckle, which was a bit tough. I couldn’t help comparing it to a nearby restaurant that is famous for their fried pork knuckle.
Prices are about the same as other dim sum spots around the city — nothing surprising there.
The only downside for me was the suggested minimum 18% gratuity added on top of total + tax. I know this has become common at many Bay Area restaurants, but it’s still frustrating to see.
Overall: better food than before, fair pricing, but not fancy of suggested minimum gratuity.
The menu is pretty straightforward old school traditional Cantonese dim sum. Not a lot of modern or cutesy dishes.
Millbrae has a number of decent dim sum spots within a couple miles, far more than most regions. Always wonder why someone would open another spot in such a saturated area. I’d rank this spot above nearby Hong Kong Palace but not as good as HL Peninsula. Service was about average for Chinese restaurants. Although the food is decent for Millbrae, it is probaby better than most elsewhere.
Won Kok is worth a try if you are tired of going to the usual spots like Yan Peninsula, Hong Kon Palace or the Kitchen.
