Wonderful is a delightful spot that lives up to its name. The restaurant offers a diverse menu featuring a range of flavorful dishes, each beautifully presented. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great place for both casual meals and special occasions. The flavors were vibrant and well-balanced, showcasing a blend of traditional and innovative elements. Really enjoyed the hunan steamed egg, as well as the sole, tofu, chili under the steamed specials; generous amount of fish and not overly spicy. Whether you're a fan of classic dishes or looking to try something new, Wonderful provides a great variety of options. It's definitely a place to check out if you're in the Millbrae area and looking for a memorable meal.

My friend is very picky with Chinese food and he said this is one of the few he approves of. I was definitely impressed, it's high quality authentic food! The garlic eggplant was 10/10 amazing. We also got the boiling fish which they're well known for, and it was really good. The Lamb Cilantro was also great. Everything seemed a bit pricey, 4 dishes was over $100 (the boiling fish was $42) but they included tax and gratuity and the fish was a massive portion. It was enough for 4-5 people so at least portion sizes were good!

Some friends live in the area and recommended this place for lunch and we went as a group of about 8 people. This place seems like it's better for groups of 2-4 but luckily they had a space in the front for us where we combined several tables together. Everything was very tasty here. It seemed like everyone orders the scallion pancake but it seems much more like a scallion bread like the ones you get at chinese bakeries but slightly differently because of the way they cut it and serve it. It's a very good filler so if you have a lot of people and very hungry people then that's a good choice. There was one beef dish we ordered that seemed like the onion ratio was really high compared to the rest of the dish but luckily I'm a fan of stir fried white onions. The dishes I enjoyed the most were the green beans and tofu dishes we ordered. A bit on the smaller side place but has a lot of parking and a good spot with a local feel to it too!

Birthday celebration and Wonderful was their choice. My first time eating at Wonderful. It's a small, limited seating, no reservations Chinese family comfort food. We had to get there early to get seating for 6. The early people went ahead and ordered first so I by the time I got there food was already beginning to be served. I checked in on Yelp and was surprised my offer was a glass of ice cold water?! Kids ordered but we enjoyed all the dishes. All dishes were good. Service was good. Automatic 18% gratuity added to your bill. I expected that since we had 6 but as I read the reviews it seems this is also charged for no matter how many people in your party. No cash accepted so beware.

Award winning restaurant, distinct from other Hunan and Szechuan restaurants. Cilantro beef: very thinly sliced beef, almost like a tenderloin in texture but different. Tastes like a baking soda or mango enzyme tenderized beef but very tender but not mushy. V. hard to replicate. The tenderized beef absorbs more flavor. One of the best sellers. Very distinct. Onion bread: fluffy. Different with layers. Not replicated in any other bay area restaurant I have seen. Almost every table orders this. Northern style = bread, south=rice. Bok choy w/ shitake. not on menu. Order some veggie to cut the spice levels. Winter melon soup with pork rib: WM cooked perfectly. Not mushy. Good light broth flavor from the ribs. Used to cut the spice. Godfather noodles: spicy and salty. Very distinct. Not overpowered with fermented bean sauce; meaty. hard to pin down the taste. Impossible to replicate at home. Many layers of flavor. One of the signature dishes. Freshly made noodles. Chewy. Back of the throat spicy vs. burning tongue spicy. Large menu try the steamed fish special. This is very distinct from the other Hunan restaurants who have a common menu of deep fried chili chicken, chili fish, etc..

Stopped in with my cousin one rainy afternoon after he picked me up from the airport. It was quiet inside and there was plenty of seating available. We sat by the window in the front. We ordered the Smork with Leeks and the Boiling Hot Fish Fillets. We were served some hot tea as well--a must-have for the weather. The smork was as advertised--smoky and flavorful. A perfect contrast to the leeks! The fish was tender and spicy. I was so glad that these were our picks that day! But I have a feeling you can't go wrong with their options.

Came back to have brunch again. Service is always attentive and very warm people. We ordered 3 things. Eggplant with garlic sauce is a go- to. Smoke with leeks is new to me. But super flavorful and delicious. Highly recommend. If you like tofu you will like the iron skillet tofu with onions. Came up sizzling hot! We have to come back for sure.
