Hot Wok Bistro 1012 Howard Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94401

"LOVE this place!!! Food is great, service is great and employees are even better! It’s small so I usually order and pick up 15 mins later!!!!! Highly recommend ordering for delivery, pickup or dine in, you won’t regret doing so!!!"

"Excellent experience. Food was delicious and plentiful. Service was very attentive and food was prepared quickly. Outstanding value. Will visit again the next time I’m in town."

"The menu is VERY basic and the food was just ok. It’s honestly hard to comprehend all the 5 star reviews. We ate in the restaurant and the Google description as a “trendy place with contemporary styling” is quite the stretch! It’s a local spot, with nice people running it but a very gritty look and feel."

"A hidden neighborhood gem liked by everyone living around here. Delicious Chinese dishes whipped up in record time. Excellent lunch spot on weekends after a leisurely stroll, or take out dinners for the family on week nights. Love the warm indoor ambiance and chat from the owners."

"We ordered delivery and got our food very quick. The bag was super hot and I had high hopes but unfortunately when eating I noticed a lot of the meat and vegetables were cold in the middle. This made me wonder if the food was just being reheated instead of cooked when ordered. The portion size was pretty big. We order the chicken corn soup which was very tasty. The beef chow main was good but this had many cold pieces of meat. The chicken fried rice was very bland. The string beans were also cold in the middle. The honey walnut shrimp was soggy, and lastly the Mongolian beef was a bit tough and also cold in the middle. I don’t know if this restaurant is better to eat while dining in but I was pretty disappointed on my takeout order with how expensive everything was."
