Stick Steam - Millbrae

If you are from SF like we are you will be disappointed. This is sort of mock Asian food. But if you want better than Panda it’s ok.

I came on a Saturday during lunch time and it was somewhat busy. My party got lucky with a table and we were seated immediately. The interior is not the biggest but it seems to seat around 30. The style is nice and modernized. Hainan Chicken (Full) 8.5/10 It tasted great but this is all you get in the dish along with sauces. There are no other additions such as rice or peanuts. I would get it again, but maybe in an order with other additionals.Typhoon Ha Gao 10/10 This was so good, it was crunchy and tasty. I'm not sure what those flakes were but it was really good with the ha gao and especially with the Hainan chicken. Felt like this added flavor to anything it touched!If I'm in the area I would absolutely come back, except I might not reorder the full Hainan chicken and instead something else. I would recommend the full chicken if you have a bigger party with other food too.

Food was decent. Not the best, but it was good. Staff was excellent. Small, crowded and noisy environment.Parking: Next to In-n-out Burger so it was different to get in and out of a parking spot.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Kimchi fried rice was more sour than expected. Pan fried dumplings were good but nothing crazy. The pork Xiao long bao was very ginger-forward.
