Stick & Steam

Stick & Steam is a good small place to get some dim sum, beef noodles, baked rice, or Hainan chicken rice, all in one restaurant. The food is good, but not as good as the restaurants that specialize in the single genre. That said, it definitely satisfied the different cravings our family had. The food came out quickly, the service was pleasant, and most importantly the food was good enough to come again. While I personally wouldn’t go out of my way to come here, if you’re in the Millbrae area and want to try some good Chinese comfort food, this place is worth a try. One more thing - everyone raves about the salted egg fries, but I thought they were only okay. Now the sea bass…..that’s something to rave about.

I really want to like this place but it's a letdown unfortunately. This place attracted its customers (including me) because it's rumored to be associated with the owner of Koi Palace. The place has all the ingredients of a good place if you don't want to wait in lines for some dim sum or a quick bite and the food looks great. However the biggest missing piece is the taste. For example the Har Gow (shrimp dumplings) are huge but not only the skins break apart easily (not good) but that the shrimps are not fully cooked. Maybe because of the undercooked shrimp flavors do not permeate within the Har Gow when you bite into it. The Hainan chicken is not very tender and the pork belly is over cooked so not as juicy as it could be. Overall, it's missing the flavor part of a good restaurant.

Tired of hamburgers I was looking for something tasty and I looked up this restaurant on Google. Oh surprise!!! The food that I ordered was very tasty, I hot the specialty; Hainan Rice&Chicken. I tried this dish in San Jose and it is actually very good here. Definitely I'll comeback. I almost forget to take pictures but I has half way done when I remember.

I ordered through Postmates and got drunken noodles and yellow coconut curry. Not only did the delivery get here early (!!!), both dishes were AMAZING! I picked medium spicy for the drunken noodles with a side of crunchy pork. Each bite was perfect. I wanted to keep eating after I was full just because it was so good. My fiance had the coconut curry and he was in love from the first bite. If you're craving legit Thai food, order here!

My wife and I visited for the first time for lunch today. The outside of the restaurant looks more like a trendy gourmet burger joint than a typical place for Asian food. The laminated single sheet 2-sided menu had a limited selection, but it had enough popular Hong Kong style comfort food lunch plates to satisfy, including a small selection of dim sum and boba drinks. The service was quick and the food was delicious. We were impressed with a dish sanitizer which looks like a clear door refrigerator placed at the entrance to the dining room. This small eatery, owned by the same owners as the popular Koi Palace, has a selection of frozen dim sum you can buy to cook at home.
