Top Southeast Asian Restaurant in San Bruno
Thai Nakorn Restaurant
464 San Mateo Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, United States
Overall very satisfied with quality/price of food. Friendly service too :)Update July 2018:Maybe I caught the server on a bad day, but the service was quite appalling. We walked in for lunch on a weekend. We were seated promptly to a table without utensils; but soon after, the waiter brought utensils and the menu along. So far, so good....We waited a while for the waiter to come by, but they never did. I tried to get waiters attention by raising my hand and all that but they still didnt come - presumably busy with other tasks?But then I saw them chatting it up with one of the tables - wth? We were waiting for a good 15 minutes at this point, but they didnt seem to care that we were waiting to get *any* service.I lost my appetite/interest in dining here, so we just picked up our bags and left. Its really unfortunate since I remembered I enjoyed their food in the past, but I dont think Ill be coming by again.
Patio Filipino
1770 El Camino Real, San Bruno, CA 94066, United States
We ordered plenty of dishes: bicol express, sisig bangus & pork, 2 orders of garlic rice, kare-kare, crispy pata, chicken empanada, patio sampler, bulalo and malabon.The serving size is great, we had plenty to take home amongst 6 adults who had seconds/ third servings + 2kids. Its good to share meals. The bangus sisig is my favorite! The crispy pata and its sauce were really crispy and did not fall short of expectation. Their arroz valenciana was not available as it is only on preorder. Its a good place to have small intimate gatherings: birthdays etc. Theres enough space to accommodate 50pax and not feeling too crowded. The service is slow. Our appetizer (patio sampler & empanada) came AFTER we had our first round of meals. If theyre short staffed in the kitchen, i feel bad for the cooks maybe they need to hire more people. It was Saturday when we visited and definitely people were flockin in. They have no desserts on the menu. Overall, i would probably go back if i wanted Filipino dishes once in a while so im going to rate this as OK.

What a wonderful find here in San Bruno. Service was excellent and food was wonderful. A mix of Southeast Asian cuisine - from Malaysian to Thai to Chinese - this restaurant a little bit of everything. Start off with a soup - their wonton soup is hearty and full of umami. Follow with some black pepper beef - tender and full of vitality. We had the garlic crab like others - definitely worth it - be ready to get your hands dirty - dont worry they provide enough towels for you. Dont forget to finish off with some mango sticky rice. Highly recommended.
Besans Market & Restaurant
480 San Mateo Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, United States
I have been shopping at this store for years, it has passed through 3 owners from when I moved to the area but the current owner is the best. They are incredibly freindly to me, even sharing treats from behind the counter that someones wife brought in. They are always helping me diligently with picking out the best spices for whatever I am cooking and explaing to me which cut of meat I need. Mostly I am impressed with how kind and respectful they are to me. It is a place I go to stock up on lebne, halal meat, dried goods and have a lovely chat about life. Oh yeah, and you can not beat the prices.
