North South Seafood - San Bruno

The food is delicious, and the service is great too!

I remember visiting this restaurant as a kid many years ago with my cousins after a day of outdoor activities. I always wanted to try the food here again, and I finally had the opportunity today. The service was as warm and genuine as I remembered. I ordered the sizzling steak and scallops platter, honey walnut prawns, and salt and pepper chicken wings. Everything was delicious, and I was pleasantly surprised that we managed to finish it all. Normally, we tend to order too much, but today we cleared our plates!

Delicious without overwhelming the palate, unlike some Americanized versions of Chinese cuisine.

This isn't your average Chinese restaurant with MSG-laden meals or low-quality fried rice and noodles. This is a family-owned establishment that emphasizes traditional comfort food, made without the frills or added MSG. They prioritize using high-quality ingredients and put a lot of care into their cooking. The chef works alone, so if you're in a rush, this might not be the best choice, as each dish is prepared individually. Everything we tried was perfectly cooked. The soup of the day was exquisite, and the Bitter Melon Egg, Garlic Crab, and Eggplant were all outstanding.

You will absolutely LOVE the food at this restaurant! The owner has been running the place for over a decade, and she's an amazing cook! It’s a fantastic experience all around!
