Under new management, The Kitchen's dim sum menu is truncated compared to other dim sum restaurants in the Burlingame/Millbrae area. The place was packed on a Monday after the Lunar New Year weekend as a lot of people don't have to work today. The food was OK. You can order the dim sum from a paper menu. There is a single dim sum cart that roams around. The confusing part is, some of the items we ordered from the paper menu were available on the cart only. The dim sum cart never came by our table. We had to ask one of the waiters for help to get the shrimp dumplings and sticky rice chicken for us. Total before tax and tip for two was $70. Service was excellent.
Lunch dim sum with no wait around 1130am on a Friday.
Street parking was fairly easy with more on the back.
Prices are very reasonable compared to other places. Although the lunch specials like noodles and fried rice are on the more expensive side, not sure if portions are larger.
We did have to wait for an add-on order for more than 20min, which was the only disappointment.
Would recommend coming in for lunch dim sum.
Absolutely Awasome. I was sitting by myself among a sea of people enjoying meal with their family, laughing talking, it was absolutely amazing; and the food, well the food is the cherry on top of the cake, smooth tasty savory!
Visited here a second time.
The double boiled soup is great. $25 you can't get anything better. The menu listed the soup serves 4 people, however I think it's enough for 8!
Everything else is good. The price is reasonable, and the service is also good. They charged 18% tips by default.
Good, will come back. Waited for about 10min around 12pm on a Saturday. The food is great. You can see some dim sum in the rolling cart before order them. The environment is loud due to full of people ( but that also means their food are populate)
This is a good place for our New Year dinner, Cantonese restaurant. Ordering in advance can save us waiting time, great! The serving size was average, and six of us basically completed nine dishes. The dishes taste good and the service is attentive. Recommended and worth visiting again. Give a like!
Update: … We got together there again this Thanksgiving. As always, we can make an appointment to be seated on time. It takes more than seven people to make an appointment. The dishes are still delicious and plentiful, and the waiters are as warm, courteous and quick as ever. Very good! Thanksgiving dinner for my family was very satisfying!
Worthy to check it out if you are up for authentic Chinese/Hong Kong dim sum! Difficult to find a parking space especially during rush lunch hours! We ordered some of their specialty dishes:
Malay Singaporean sponge cake 5/5
Pork stomach with steam chicken 5/5
Beef balls 5/5
Black truffle duck 3/5
Lotus roots mixed vegetables 4/5
Steam pork ribs 3/5
Shui mai dumplings 3/5
Crispy pata Chinese style 4/5
No reservations required! Recommend coming in early or come after 1pm to avoid lunch rush! Quick and attentive service! Good oolong tea!!
Wonderful food especially the stir fried beef dishes! The drawback is the service time which takes over 30 mins for our meal to come. Ambiance and atmosphere are noisy and loud like any other dim sum restaurant on a weekday evening. Great food if you wish to wait for over half an hour to be served.
