Tai Wu Restaurant 1080 Foster City Boulevard, Foster City, CA 94404

"1st visit: - The staff is friendly and nice, but the food is just so-so. We came for lunch, so we ordered rice and noodles. The braised duck wonton noodles soup is just so plain. They left the braised duck on a side dish, it was quite oily, so you had to eat them with the noodles, and much soy sauce for some flavors. I ordered a combo, fried rice with rolls and sweet and sour pork, and instantly regretted because I underestimated the amount of food. The pork fried rice is good, but the rest of the combo is disappointing. We also ordered mapo tofu because we really loved that dish, but their mapo tofu lacked spiciness. All we could tasted is sweet. That’s not mapo tofu at all. 2nd visit: - This time we stayed away from noodle soups and ordered dishes that can go with steam rice. The kung pao chicken is really good. It has the smell of what a Cantonese would call, the taste of the wok, “wok hee”. The honey walnut prawn is a bit sweet, but the spicy & sour soup nails it. Just the right amount of spiciness and sourness. => I would say it’s a decent Hong Kong restaurant. I’d love to try other dishes, but not the noodle soups."

"I went to this restaurant with doubts and I left satisfied, I liked the food, the fried rice was very good, I ordered meat and there was a lot of it, not like in others I've been to and I asked for the same thing and just found chicken or meat in the fried rice. The price according to the food."

"Got a gift card from my office and who am I to then down free food? Glad I tried them too, now I can add them to my 'must go back soon' list. While they have a ton of options, we went with the salt and pepper fried pork, fried fish fillets, half a roast duck, and the sauteed pea shoots with garlic to balance everything out haha. Fried pork was super yummy. Lightly breaded and perfectly seasoned. Roast duck was just as good too, very moist and juicy, lots of flavor. Pea shoots were fine but I think I just prefer the chinese broccoli so I'd prob pass on this next time, and then the fried fish fillets were also just okay. They were lightly breaded but very bland in comparison to the other dishes. Felt it lacked the salt and pepper that was part of it's title. Either way, first two dishes were great and I'd love to try more on their menu."

"Ordered Beef Chow Fun and Pepper Salt Squid. There was tooooo much oil for the chow fun as it was soaked in oil. The squid was too salty and not fried deep enough (Too Soft and white). Over all just a normal level restaurant. They run out of all bbq roast pork&duct for dinner so I did not get a chance to try them. Updated on 6/2019 Tried out their beef wunton noodle soup and it was amazing! For $11 I got a big bowl of beef. They also run out of BBQs at around 8pm. I guess it is a good sign that they prepare fresh meats every day."
