Gourmet Village Restaurant — Restaurant in Millbrae

My wife and I had dinner here on a Friday night in early May 2019. We were traveling south on the interstate from SF to Santa Cruz, and we needed a dinner break. We went to downtown Millbrae and strolled the main street, trying to decide which restaurant to try. We tried Gourmet Village and we were glad we did. It looks plain on the outside and it's easy to miss, and inside it's a no-frills kind of room, but with flat screen TVs on the wall, showing Asian videos primarily. The food was very good: sesame chicken, vegetable soup and spring rolls. The price was good, too -- inexpensive. The restaurant was full on Friday night, all tables occupied. Lots of families with children were eating here, but surprisingly it was rather quiet in the room. It felt relaxing and not hectic at all. In terms of nationality, we were the only non-Asians in the place, suggesting that the restaurant is popular and has a loyal clientele. Service was good, fast and friendly. We would certainly come here again. We're happy customers. Highly...

The restaurant closes at 8 pm. I had placed an order at 7:23 pm. You accepted my order for order (2 items) for delivery and is a 6 min drive to the airport. 30 min later I get a message that it's delayed. I get another message at 8:23 pm saying that my order was cancelled because the restaurant is closed or stopped accepting orders. Are you serious? You waited over an hour after I placed my order to cancel! This is how you do business? I've worked in the restaurant industry for several years and have to say that I'm just absolutely disappointed. I came from a long flight and had a meeting right after, thus not being able to get an Uber to pick my food up.

Glad I never ate here and never will...

Stopped here on a whim for the first time. Ordered the salted fried fish filet (fried, battered, tender filet filets--and a generous amount!) It's salty but the name of this dish does indicate it but I like salty. I enjoyed my favorite comfort food, Beef Chow Fun (dry-style, hint of smokiness, good amount of tender beef). I try every Chinese restaurant's chow fun and this one is my new local favorite. They are grateful and thankful for business. Friendly owner. Will order from this restaurant again! Neat and clean, just needs some twinkly lights to draw more foot traffic,, but it has a simple, nostalgic vibe like the restaurants my aunt would take me to in...
