Best WLM Reviews
Broadway avenue in Millbrae CA., has many fantastic Asian restaurants to enjoy. A few friends introduced me to Wonderful nearly 10 years ago and I never forgot it. Their menu is interesting and everything tastes good. Though my personal delight is their Beef noodle soup, I like to substitute the beef with shrimp. Now the last time I had it that way, was long ago. Perhaps they don't make it with shrimp anymore, you'll have to ask if want to try that dish.
A couple of more things. They do have clean restrooms, and their lunch menu is sorta incognito. You may have to request it. Wonderful is just off LA Cruz, on Broadway avenue in Millbrae CA.
An authentic Chinese food restaurant specialized in the spicy ones from Hunan. They have two desks for dining outside, which might be available for bringing the dog. They have special Smoked Pork as they are in special taste. We try the ones with the cauliflower in the fancy pot as it's really tasty. The cilantro beef is great and in a large dish. The green onion pancake is the kind of Chinese flour taco with chopped pork. A good experience here in the Michelin restaurant. One thing to mention is that the staff are too busy to take care of our demands...We spent a lot of time waiting for services.
A nice clean homey Chinese restaurant serving human dishes. I will say they have the best smork I ever tasted. My goal is to return and try all their dishes that have smork in it cuz it's got nice smoky flavor. We also had cilantro with shredded beef. The beef is thinly cut/sliced instead of bigger chunks. A great sign for a Chinese place. The steam egg is just like what my wife and I had back in Taiwan. Childhood memories! Another reason i would happily drive from South bay to eat here again is their dish is NOT oily like other Hunan places in South bay...or Chinese restaurants in general. It's family style restaurant and it's not exactly cheap. The quality of the dishes well justifies the price. Worth it!
Wonderful in Millbrae truly lives up to its name. Almost a decade ago, I used to commute between the city and the peninsula, and this spot became my go-to for dinner to beat the traffic. It’s easily one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area.
My top recommendation is the steamed tofu fish dish. It’s huge, super flavorful, and well worth the 20-30 minute wait (since they steam it fresh to order). I also highly recommend their wings and onion pancakes—both are equally delicious.
I'm baffled by how this restaurant has received such high ratings. In my opinion, their food is far from authentic Sichuan cuisine. The service was arrogant, and to my dismay, I found a piece of cilantro that hadn’t even been unwrapped. This makes me doubt that any of the vegetables are properly cleaned. Their apology was insincere, and it's clear they know that losing one customer won't hurt them, as there will always be uninformed diners giving them business. However, I want more people to be aware of just how terrible this place really is.
This place is indeed wonderful. The food here tastes amazing. I myself likes Sichuan level of spiciness so the "spicy" food here is not that spicy to me. So come with the right expectation. Still other than the spiciness, the food itself is in high quality. The highlights for me are "smork", the smoke pork here is indeed smoky. It might be the smokiest thing I ever ate rather than the smoke itself lol. It tastes well with the tofu in the dish we ordered. The deep fried intestine is tasty with a kick. All the flour dishes like the pancake and noodles are good chewy as expected from a good Hunan place. This place indeed deserves the wait and the Michelin Bib Gourmant.
Their online menu is not updated. See pictures for the latest price. Food is good but not as superb as we expected. Quantity is ok but comparably smaller than the ones in SF Chinatown.
This is the best Chinese food we have ever had. Prices were good for the food and service. Beautiful windows opened to allow fresh air. We will be back next time we are in San Fran!
