“ So my wife wouldn't shut up about wanting good authentic Chinese food. This was definitely a different type of Chinese food that I am used to. The lady who appeared to be running the show was extremely nice and helpful. My wife ordered the smork fried rice, orange chicken, cilantro beef, scallion pancake. Plus complimentary tea. The food came out pretty quick. Time to eat. I was very impressed with the orange chicken and the cilantro beef. Those were the best plates. I didn't eat the pancakes due to the onions and the smork fried rice wasn't impressive. My kids did love the fried rice and the pancakes. So apparently those were also winning plates. Everyone there was super nice and very attentive to our needs. I felt very welcomed. Side note, they do charge an 18% charge however they do NOT accept tips. Weird I know. That is basically a tip unless the owners are not sharing with the multiple wait and cooking staff. ”

“ We came as a group of 6 for dinner this past Sunday at wonderful. A huge factor to why we had such a wonderful (ha) dinner was because of the great service. Our waitress gave great recommendations, was always checking to make sure our glasses were full, and even offered small complimentary dishes pre-dinner that would go well with the alcohol we were drinking. For food, I'm glad we had a large group because we could try so many dishes. We got the green onion pancake, which is different from the Taiwanese style of green onion pancake. It had so many layers of dough and green onions and was a perfect complement to our spicy dishes. The spicy fish filets was huge, with so much more fish than other restaurants we've tried. I loved the smokiness of the smork with dried tofu, and was so happy to see a gizzard with pickled green beans dish. I ate way more rice than I would've liked, but it's hard not to when eating Hunan food. Definitely recommend coming to wonderful when you have a big group and are craving something spicy. Parking isn't bad on the streets or in the lots in Millbrae. We'll definitely be back soon! ”

“ Yes it's good Chinese. We got Smork with smoked tofu, Winter melon soup, Green onion pancake and Deep fried pork intestines. I liked how smokey the smork was. Pretty solid place in peninsula. Inside was clean and service was fast. If you dine in the tip was included. Parking on street in front. ”

“ This place has amazing Hunan style meals!! My friends and I are so happy we stumbled in here. First let me say their boiled fish in chili oil IS HUGE. They do not skimp out on the amount of fish. When it arrived we thought the kitchen got our order wrong and sent out two! I'm just going to name out the standouts and must haves: boiled fish on chili oil, green onion pancake, cilantro beef, sliced minced pork and the gizzard pickles beans. The service was also great, our waitress recommended some of the dishes above and they did not disappoint. We will definitely be back. ”

“ Having tried Chez Xue located in Foster City, it had come to my attention that the owners actually started their parent restaurant, wonderful, located in Millbrae a few years before. With a larger variety of items, I wanted to stop by and check out what they had to offer. I arrived at the restaurant around 1PM on a Friday afternoon to find a empty dining room. This seemed to be irregular judging from the amount of reviews here on Yelp, so perhaps weekday lunch is the best time to come without having to wait. For this meal, I noticed that the Boiling Hot Fish Fillets was one of the more popular items, so I decided to order one order which cost about 35 dollars at the time of this review. Looking at the dish, the portion size was HUGE. For one, the dish was served in a large silver bowl and easily had about 30 thick pieces of fish or more inside. Along with this, the bowl had pieces of chopped onions and chili peppers, cabbage, tofu, chunks of bean sprouts, and a large amount of broth. Definitely do not order this by yourself unless you plan to split it up into multiple meals to-go. And to this point, bring some people with you to finish this bowl. It's a lot. For $36 in the Millbrae area, it might seem to be expensive at first. But even after splitting this dish among 3 people, it lasted for two more meals afterwards. This said, price to portion is a steal. Of anything I can say about the taste, I wish it was more spicy! The broth was rich with spices and tasted pretty spicy, but I expected a tad more! Nonetheless, the broth made the fish taste spicy and made the meat very moist. Texture-wise, the fish was very soft and easily melted in the mouth. The fish itself did not appear to taste seasoned or marinated. But because it was drenched in broth, it did not matter. As for the tofu and cabbage, I found both to taste similar to the fish. But because they were all included inside the broth, it made sense for them to taste spicy as well. After trying wonderful's Boiling Hot Fish Fillets, I knew that I would be back for more. There is something about their food that screams "home-made"! Perhaps it could be because of the simplicity of the dish, or maybe it was the warm service. But nonetheless, there is a reason why wonderful has so many great reviews here on Yelp. Of anything I can say though, be aware that wonderful requires a mandatory service charge of 7% when taking out or 18% when dining in. But in all, wonderful definitely earns its title with a very high 5 star rating. Very wonderful, wonderful. ”

“ Wonderful is certainly wonderful! We get some pretty solid Chinese food here. I really recommend the Zhajiangmian (noodles in black bean sauce) and the Green onion pancakes. Though even though the menu labels them as pancakes, they're actually not pancakes. They're really thick breads stuffed with green onions. A good spot in Millbrae, close to San Bruno! ”

“ There is something extremely satisfying about this food. I can't really put my finger on it. I haven't actually dined in the restaurant itself, but got this for take out several times. The most recent time, the dishes that were stand out were the Numbing Boiling Fish Fillets, General Tso Chicken, eggplant and green beans, and smork fried rice. I loved all their dishes in different ways. Again, there's some X factor in the food that is just amazingly satisfying. I feel a little sad the restaurant is so far from the city, but it's a great option for when we go down to the Peninsua for a dinner party or whatnot! ”

“ Wonderful is a Michelin guide restaurant serving casual Chinese/Hunan cuisine. They have a wide selection of dishes and spicy food at a higher than average price (this is a non-tipping institution). Service was proactive and quick. The green onion buns and hand pulled noodles were the stand out dishes. Overall, Wonderful doesn't compromise on taste and flavor. Would come back. ”
