Gourmet Village Restaurant

Food is really good. And also good value. It’s usually not busy but tonight between the walk in to go orders, third party app and walk ins they were slammed. A good neighborhood spot that can also do banquet style cuisine. I recommend this place especially when the weather turns and you need hot food that tastes great!

The food tastes so delicious. This restaurant operates by a couple, they are so nice to customers. But they didn't hire any staff to take orders/packing the delivery/clean up tables, they do that all by themselves, which I totally understand because the owner told me it is very difficult to run a restaurant after a pandemic, it is impossible to earn any revenue if they hire staff. BTW, one of the best family restaurants in Millbrae San Mateo.

Such delicious food in a casual unassuming space! I ordered one dish and would return for this alone, and to try their other offerings based on the quality of this hit. The braised roast pork and tofu was exquisite. Juicy, unctuous, aromatic, and perfectly seasoned. The five spice from the roast pork, slices of ginger, whole garlic cloves and just a touch of sweetness added such depth to the braising sauce. The pillowy texture of the freshly fried soft tofu complemented the pork and crackling beautifully.

We visited one of the numerous Chinese restaurants in Millbrae and found the food to be quite good. My favorite dishes were the hot and sour soup and the Kung Pao chicken. However, don't expect great service, as this place is primarily for takeout. The restaurant could use a trip to IKEA for some decor and storage solutions to better organize their inventory.

Server used bare hands to box my order that I asked to take to-go. I asked for a refund when I saw him pick up the fish that fell to the table. He offered to make a new one. I explained I was not able to wait. He stayed at the table I went to the counter to get my refund. When I was at the counter he was still at the table so I left due me explaining I didn’t have additional time to wait. Hungry and dissatisfied.
