Top Chinese Noodle Restaurant in San Bruno
Dumpling Era
354 El Camino Real, San Bruno, CA 94066, United States
Sometimes you have to choose between good food or pretty dining areas with nice decor. I always choose good food and you should too! DO NOT pass on this place just because theyre not a fancy restaurant. Their food does all the talking here and you will not be disappointed! Authentic Chinese dishes on the menu as well as some western Chinese items. Their chicken dumplings and veggie dumplings are so good! Cumin Lamb is a must try if you like lamb, Kung Pao chicken was delicious. We did an order of knife cut chicken noodles and loved every bite of it. Their service is superb and theyre fast at bringing your food out to you.

677 San Mateo Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, United States
Came on a Friday night during their opening period, no one else really there.The decor is a study in collision. On one hand you have the trappings of a traditional Chinese restaurant, like the porcelain tea cups and pot. On the other hand youre in a bar with plush seats, pumping dance music, with only a fork for setting and no chopsticks.The food is not faultless, but they are promising. The fried oyster is done well, crispy outside and juicy inside. The Dungeness crab salad is quite fresh and tasty, but the dressing is a bit much... wouldve liked it on the side instead of mixed in already. The chili noodle is quite refreshing but wouldve like it spicier.Their menu can use more work to include more appetizers that go well with alcohol. All in all I think the restaurant has promise.
Ichika Izakaya
851 Cherry Ave #34, San Bruno, CA 94066, United States
I visited Ichika Izakaya and was thoroughly impressed by the food and service. The restaurant had a great selection of izakaya dishes, skewers, sushi, and sake, and everything I tried was delicious. The sushi was fresh and expertly prepared, and the izakaya dishes were full of flavor and texture. I especially enjoyed the oyster special and surprisingly, the corn tempura. The service was also excellent, with the staff being very friendly and accommodating. They were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to make recommendations. Apart from a group at the bar who were a bit rambunctious, the atmosphere was nice and cozy, making for a great dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend Ichika Izakaya for anyone looking for a great meal and friendly service. The food and atmosphere were top-notch, making for an enjoyable experience. The only reason I didnt give it five stars is that the prices were a bit on the higher side.
Z-One Kitchen
130 El Camino Real Suite C, San Bruno, CA 94066, United States
The food here is pretty good. They have some of the best Xian cold noodles in the bay area. The Chinese hamburger is not bad, with a generous amount of pork in it, which is mixed with green bell peppers. The Chinese hamburger contains more bell peppers compared to other restaurants, which can be good or bad, depending on your preference. Their pork and leek dumpling are pretty average, the lamb soup is okay, and the grilled meat is slightly above average. The cucumber salad is not made with Persian cucumbers, but rather a variety with less crunch, and a more squashy flavor. The service is efficient, with nothing to complain about. The kitchen at this restaurant is not walled off, so you can see them preparing your food, which is pretty cool. If you are looking for Texas Barbecue, look elsewhere - they only serve Chinese barbecue. If you enjoy Xian cold noodles and Chinese hamburger, this place is a great choice.
Ramen House
2623 San Bruno Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134, United States
Times change since 2 years ago according to Older REVIEWS & OLD PICTURES, OLD Ramin House on 3rd St. Sf, MENU. SOMEHOW RESTRAUNTS NEED TO RETHINK STRATEGY ON BETTER FOOD FOR DOUBLE THE COST. SO CUSTOMERS WOULD WANT TO COME BACK.Though restaurants are strugling restaurants dont upgrade menu, they use A MENU SHOWS PREPARED FOOD QUALITY & QUANTITY & INGREDIENTS THEY DONT SERVE ANYMORE, OLD PHOTOS, FALSE EXPECTATIONS of what you will RECIEVE in an Order. THE PORTIONS REDUCED BY HALF, PRICES SHOW OLD PRICE ONLINE, NO CARE, NO PASSION, NO TASTE, PRICE DOUBLED, QUALITY AWFUL. I went first time on Saturday, July 9, 2022 around noon. Server nice, i recieved green tea when ask what tea i wanted. I was given a napkin and fork, and live ask for chop stix. I ordered Unagi-Don Bento Box, which a photo of a bento box is on menu, not Unagi but look like (chicken katsu) which looked wonderful, slice oranges garnish, Full of food bento box with 6 piece of California Roll, rice etc. On Menu above items for Bento box it describes With Pot stickers, California Roll, Soup, Rice & then main choice below. What a dissapointment. No soup was served though said soup, UNAGI WAS ICE COLD AND TERRYAKI-UNAGI SAUCE COLD THICK ALL OVER, a salad soggy in huge amount of a sour cream dressing more than salad itself runny, 2 potstickers (warm), 3 pieces California Roll ( Not Like Photo which had 6 pieces) Rice was only thing Hot, NO Oranges like pictures, or any GARNISH, NO PICKLED GINGER, JUST WASABI. Not Worth- $18.95? TASTELESS, COLD SOUR AWFUL. I stated Unagi was cold waitress was nice she took to microwave not sauce but unagi. I went to look at menu it clearly states soup not salad though most bento boxes have both. Waitress was nice she brought me miso soup with seaweed OMG bad soup added soy sauce but it was bitter, old maybe, but not like any miso soup i ever had before, it was really weird. I TOOK RICE & Unagi to go box was charged .25 for white cardbord box with notice. With tax was $20.86 what a waste when photos looked so good.
Poke One
1230 El Camino Real suite c, San Bruno, CA 94066, United States
This is a casual take-out or dine in spot in kind of a strip mall with a Lucky grocery, Loewes and a bunch of little casual restaurants. This one has a good a range of menu options, typical of a Japanese izakaya, nothing too crazy. The poke bowls are a bit expensive if youre getting vegetarian or vegan options only. (Typical of restaurants - if they offer vegetarian or vegan options, they will charge the customer like theyre buying more expensive meat or seafood ingredients.) Theyll customize your order and make it pretty quickly and have a nice, efficient setup to get it all done. 5 for service and 4 for overall value. Ambiance is decent for a workday lunch spot. Not really a date night place.
Ling Ling Cuisine Restaurant
2517 San Bruno Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134, United States
I think Ling Ling is the only Chinese restaurant on San Bruno Ave that cooks decent spicy chinese food. The food quality is a hit & miss though. It varies depending on which chef cooked it.We usually pickup to go. The kung pao chicken & mongolian beef are sometimes a bit bland & meat chucks are a bit too thick & big for me so I tend to cut them into halves & then restir-fried them with some soy & chili oil or jalapenos/chilis. The Shanghai noodles are thick & flavorful the way we like it. The shredded potatoes & salt & pepper pork chops are good as well. But, sometimes the porks chops arent as crunchy or crispy as we like because they didnt cut an opening to let out the steam. They do take credit cards. I wish they did deliveries since parking is kind of difficult. Their to go containers are cheap plastic containers that arent really meant for hot food. The containers usually breakapart at the folding area so I normally transfer the food to glass containers at home. Sometimes, the containers would be slightly warped at the bottom from the hot food too which concerns me.
Boiling Beijing
649 San Mateo Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, United States
I did not get peiking duck or hot pot as peiking duck requires then to call 1.5hr before your arrival. So I ordered all the other good stuffs.. fries chicken with red chilli, pork belly with jalapeno, boiled whole fish, Angus black pepper beef, dun dun noodles, spinach.. mostly disappointed.. Angus beef was good just like any other good steak would be in any corner store, does not take much to cook that.. the spinach was ok..but had corns which is weird.. typically corn is not most popular Chinese vegetables .. rest of the stuffs - not so much.. not going back all the way to San Bruno frok south San Jose - contrary to many some reviews I found this restaurant ordinary.. there are other choices out there, specifically if you are szechwan food lover and not obsessed with northern Chinese food..
Mijouri SushiBune
1230 El Camino Real B, San Bruno, CA 94066, United States
Worst experience I've ever had. My usual place was closed(mind you is also $ one dollar sign)It took 20 minutes for a hand roll & my dad ordered 2 pieces of unagi & gyoza( definitely not fresh)There was only other person eating there. So I do know why it took 2 chefs forever, they weren't making giant rolls.( there were about 4 tickets with orders ours included)Don't even get me started with the waitress, any minute she would have free from taking orders from the other table(she really tried to ignore us) she would run to her cellphone. All you could see is her scrolling, and texting.I wanted to order some sake, there was no way to make eye contact. At this point I just want to walk out. As soon as we got our food, we paid & left. Never coming back again!The chefs weren't wearing proper uniform, they were wearing their street clothing, so you could imagine how uneasy that could make one feel. I don't want them to wear a uniform like a Michelin star restaurant but wearing the proper equipment to maintain cleanliness is more than just common sense.
Mings
436 San Mateo Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, United States
Mings restaurant: when you go to mings just like any other dining in or take out restaurant you expect a certain level of decency and respect...corect? Well there are times when weve all experienced unpleasant or discourteous encounters while dining rather it be a waitress or angry Patron complaining about somthing behind you. For me wild in Mings restaurant after receiving food that I had ordered which was orange chicken and the combination shown me I had asked for soy sauce of course though having big plates youd wonder if you can have a little extra soy sauce I went to one of the empty tables and use their poor out of all soy sauce and oh boy was that a huge mistake apparently that means youre not allowed to do such a thing dont use their soy sauce they said to me they said I already have soy sauce in my bag two packets of soy sauce for two large containers of food I said yes I know that but I would like to use some of this . the women inside told me what do i need more soy sauce for and that i dont need it which was alsogiven with dirty looks and scowling stares as they huddled together talking in another language and pionting at me. The piont is if you dont want to be stared at or talked down or possibly talked trash about to behind your back and put down for wanting what you like or puting what you like on your food I would highly sugest not going to mings: there food may be good but there stares and dirty looks will destroy your appetite.
