I ordered two takeout dishes: chicken and broccoli, and house fried rice. The chicken and broccoli was a disappointment, scoring just 1/10. The chicken was soggy and lacked any texture, resembling undercooked chicken nuggets from McDonald's. Additionally, the dish was overly salty. On the other hand, the house fried rice was slightly better at 6/10, but it was quite plain and lacked any seasoning or flavor. While it looked appealing, it needed some salt to enhance the taste. Overall, I probably won't be returning to this restaurant and would recommend King Chuan in San Carlos instead.
I had lunch at the Toa Yuen restaurant at San Mateo. I ordered the plate with three options. I selected the orange chicken, fried rice and the green vegetables. The restaurant was clean, the staff is polite, and there are plenty of parking available. The food was just so so, the Choctaw’s not bad, but the rice and vegetables were bland. For a fast lunch was not bad, but could be better.
I ordered the chicken chow fun last night from this restaurant. All the instructions were followed except that I found out that they used precooked chicken probably use for teriyaki chicken). I have never eaten a chicken chow fun made with premade teriyaki chicken before. I remember now that I ordered a chicken fry vermicelli was the same.
I've been coming here for almost twenty years and they never disappoint. The staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. It's a relatively unknown little place, but by far my favorite in San Mateo. I recommend anything on their menu, but I personally LOVE their chow mein and sizzling rice soup.

This was disappointing. The chow mein was dry and tasted like spaghetti noodles. The chicken was overly crispy, to the point that it reminded me of eating pork skin. I couldn't really taste the meat at all.
The food is delicious—much better than the last place we tried. I shared a plate with my husband that had three items, along with rice and chow mein.
When we were new in town we ate here. Best Chinese food in town. Love this gem of a place. Glad your still here!!
Pretty awful food. Do not by any means order the seafood. They overcook it until it's hard as a rock.

Food was very good but pickup order took much longer than was told when I placed the order.
Great food and good service. Will definitely be back.
