Z-One Kitchen — Restaurant in San Bruno

PLEASE READ!!! BEWARE !!!! So it was my first time to visit this establishment. Upon entering, the establishment was small, and looked more of a storage room due to the amount of supplies stored against the wall and near the counter. None on the tables were not cleaned up, there were plates left from the previous customers, so we were not able to dine in even though we had came not even an attempt to clean up. Also what caught my surprise was a table of raw meat of variety being prepped in the dining area in exposed air. There menu was specializing in BBq, so we had ordered the 3 meat combo due to BBq. We chose Chicken breast, wings and Ribs. After we had placed the order, i noticed immediately the cook, grabbed a bag from there fridge which was a “COSTCO ROSTISSIRIE” chicken and began to chop the items we had ordered and recooked it on there disgusting grill. The waitress who took our ordered grab the other items which was the wings stored in the fridge where soda cans were placed with her bare hands and handed it to the cook over the counter including the ribs. Now this waitress let me remind you was still serving cooked food and placing her exposed unsterilized hands to other customers. So while we were waiting for our food, let me also remind the raw meat that was still being prepped was still in the dining area not being touched for a good 15 min, so if we came in and saw that, that raw meat must be on that table longer than 15 min in the dining area exposed. After 30 minutes or so waiting for our food, no action was being taken on any of the areas i mentioned, the tables not cleaned, the exposed raw meat in the dining area area remained untouched, the waitress continued to serve foods to customers with her uncleaned hands. The cook, continued to use another portion of that “COSTCO ROSTISSERIE” chicken to another customer who had a placed an order. We received our order and upon opening it, obviously it was the items we had seen were what we ordered. We didnt say anything to them what we seen but took our ordered and never ate it but threw it in the garbage. This establishment shouldn’t be open at all, serving food to customers with that kind of practices. Who knows what might in the back in the kitchen doors what lurks. But for those who read, BEWARE …. There not BBQ, sad to put on a sign saying “Texas BBq”, clearly give it a bad rep. And the city of San Bruno… Needs to get checked out by food dept safety....

Stopped by this small restaurant for dinner on the way back from hiking in Pacifica.

I had heard about this place a few times before from friends, but had never been.

It's a small restaurant, that gives off a very nostalgic vibe of some of the restaurants I've eaten at when visiting family back in China. The restaurant offers two options for dining - an all you can eat ($35 for normal, $45 for the premium), as well as a la carte dining.

Personally, the all you can eat is a great deal if you're coming with some friends and want to sample a large amount of skewers and dishes. You get a total of three orders for the all you can eat, but each order can be pretty big, so while it doesn't sound like a lot, you'll likely struggle to make it to that third order.

We ordered a lamb and pork Chinese burger, the Xi'An cold noodles, lamb organ soup, and then a wide variety of skewers. The food was all authentic in taste and served in generous portions.

Overall, a great hidden gem, and somewhere I'll definitely be coming back to whenever I'm...

The food here is pretty good. They have some of the best Xi'an cold noodles in the bay area. The Chinese hamburger is not bad, with a generous amount of pork in it, which is mixed with green bell peppers. The Chinese hamburger contains more bell peppers compared to other restaurants, which can be good or bad, depending on your preference. Their pork and leek dumpling are pretty average, the lamb soup is okay, and the grilled meat is slightly above average. The cucumber salad is not made with Persian cucumbers, but rather a variety with less crunch, and a more squashy flavor. The service is efficient, with nothing to complain about. The kitchen at this restaurant is not walled off, so you can see them preparing your food, which is pretty cool. If you are looking for Texas Barbecue, look elsewhere - they only serve Chinese barbecue. If you enjoy Xi'an cold noodles and Chinese hamburger, this place is a...
