Chef Wang Restaurant

Mediocre Chinese food, surprisingly in a really Asian area. Shrimp chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken were not bad and saved the meal. Hot sour soup was ok. Dan Dan noodles were reeeeally not good. It was a giant pile of stuck together overcooked noodles with this slimy peanut based sauce... nobody was interested in taking that home by end of night. Overall, not very impressed. Not sure we'll be back.

This is our go to spot for dan dan mein. We usually order dan dan mein, cham cha soup noodle, and this time salt and pepper fish filet. Dan Dan Mein 4/5: This is a yummy dish but this last time we went the noodles were not as chewy. I am wondering if they are still hand pulled or are they store bought? Still the best place in the area for dan dan mein though imho. Cham cha soup noodle 4/5: This is a good dish to get when you can't decide what to get! You get half of the ja jueng mein and half a spicy seafood soup. Best of both worlds! The ja jeung mein is a bit more savory than the dan dan mein and the soup is nice or have on a cold blustery day. You can go wrong with this dish!Salt and pepper fish filet 4/5: The fish was crispy and just the right amount of salt! Not overly greasy either so yum!The reason it's only 4 vs 5 stars is because it is a bit of a hole in the wall so you just need to embrace it!

The only thing we knew ahead of time about Chef Wang's Chinese Restaurant was that it remained open until 10 pm on a Friday when our flights landed later than scheduled at the airport. Most of the Asian places in Millbrae close at 9:00 or 9:30 which didn't work with our delayed arrival. When we showed up, the dining room with approximately ten tables was completely empty. Supposedly, there was an ownership change earlier this year which I read in one of the reviews.The cuisine style was a mix of Mandarin, Hunan, and Szechuan. All of these have typically spicier dishes than what we prefer. The goal was to eat a little bit before turning in so we picked a couple of noodle dishes to share... Seafood Chow Mein and Beef Chow Fun. Both were priced competitively, however that made sense later when the serving sizes were smaller than what we have been accustomed to.The beef dish was much better executed. The flat noodles were cooked properly, and the amount of meat was good. On the other hand, the seafood dish was more like lo mein. I counted only five pieces of seafood on the plate... two shrimp, two scallops, one squid. That was as skimpy as I have experienced for seafood noodles. Overall, Chef Wang did the job of quelling our hunger. The quality and quantity of the two items were worth three stars.

Decided to give this place a try since I was hungry for Asian food. My other half has been coming here for years and said it pretty decent Chinese/Korean food. Not sure how busy this place gets in the evening. For lunch, it was light. We ordered the black bean noodle and salt and pepper fish filet. Not bad. The quantity was there. No shrinkflation here. The noodle was tasty and hot. The large is definitely hefty. The fish filet was decent. I would say this place is a great place to go if your'e hungry and you need to feed your teenage kids. It's a no thrill spot, but the food is decent for most.

Chow mein was great as was the Hot and sour soup, Mongolian Beef and Kung Pao Chicken. Perfect on a rainy night in SF! Thank you!!!

Chef Wang's is a nice little spot serving up delicious Chinese Korean cuisine. We ordered the Seafood Combination, Salt and Pepper Fish, and Jjampong (Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup). The Seafood Combination was deliciously umami with plenty of the wok flavor. It included scallops, sea cucumbers, shrimp, and plenty of choy so definitely a great dish to share. Salt and Pepper Fish was fried nicely and had a beautifully crunchy texture. This peppers were not as spicy, so we added a few sprinkles of white pepper to bring up the heat. A nice cook on it nonetheless. The JJampong portion here is huge and can definitely share between two or three people with plenty of noodles to go around. The soup is adorn with zucchini, cabbage, onions, shrimp, clams, and small slices of pork. The broth is ever so spicy, not too salty. I am used to the broth having more of a seafood flavor, but this one definitely had more of a vegetable broth taste. Service was nice and attentive, but restaurant was a bit more empty as we had arrived mid day. Overall, there was plenty of flavor in the fishes, good portions, and we can't wait to come here again to try other dishes as the menu is quite unique given its combination of cultures.

One thing I've missed since moving to Seattle this type of Chinese food. For some reason they use flat egg noodles and not round egg noodles there. The chow mein was incredible. The noodles were al dente and perfectly stir fried with strips of char siu pork. The sweetness of the pork combined with the firm noodles and Smokey wok flavor was chefs kiss. The fried rice I wish had a little darker color to it and a bit more flavor. There was a lot of chicken but it wasn't as well incorporated. Most of it was on the bottom of the plate. Portions were HUGE and service was friendly and welcoming. It is located in a tiny strip of store on El Camino in Millbrae in front of some apartments.

Online order: this is the first time I have eaten from Chef Wang. I have been searching high and low for a tomato beef chow mein that tasted similar to my childhood favorite restaurant Hong Kong in SF; which sadly closed years ago. It's amazing how hard it's been. Then comes in Chef Wang. The chow mein was sweet and savory, it gave me childhood flashbacks. The noodles are cooked perfected, wish it had a little bit more beef but that sauce makes up for it, at least for me. So glad to find a place close by that has one of my favorite comfort foods!

Clean fresh food. Loved it. Service was very friendly without being overly friendly. This is the second time here. Last time I had Mongolian beef. Beef chow mein. Salt and pepper fish. Friend shrimp today I ordered egg roll. Curry chicken. Chicken chow mein. Kung pow tofu. Garlic chicken. These taste very light, clean and Fresh. Flavor is amazing. I took a lot of left overs home but with my teenage boys it was gone. Thank you Chef Wang restaurant.. Fui: On a very positive side note the prices are no where near a burden on you. Thank you.

I ask 4 times need coca cola .Service is bad...Food is no testing.table is not clean
