“ Good portion, typical hongkong cuisine. Family friendly, parking can be hard to find during lunch or dinner. Would recommend coming later or after rush time. Price average for bay area restaurant. ”

“ Order through Uber eats so I can't really talk about the service or ambiance. Pork, dry oyster, and preserved egg porridge - 4.5/5. I loved the consistency (thicker and grains more formed than other places) and the slight seafood taste from the oyster. Wished there was more preserved eggs and that the pieces were bigger though. Large portion sizes for the price Chinese donut - 4/5 pretty good! Kinda pricey for the one pair, split into four, that you got House special fried rice noodle - 2.5/5 does not look like anything in the photo. Really plain tasting, did not really enjoy. Not much shrimp or fish cake either. ”

“ Some of the best food I've had in the Bay. Cannot believe I did not know about this place before. Opens real late at night and can make for a very quick meal. There was definitely a miss among the 4 things I ordered but man oh man did the other 3 knock it out of the park. However, the restaurant isn't the cleanest looking (esp the booths) and service is pretty terrible so don't go if you can't stand those factors. ”

“ Trying Porridge & Things in Millbrae for the first time was a delightful experience. Located just 7 minutes from SFO, the temperature here is noticeably cooler than the East Bay, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a hot meal. The porridge, served in a large clay pot, was piping hot and packed with fresh scallops, dried scallops, and diced beef. The flavors were fantastic, and it came with a variety of condiments like green onions, black olives, and dried pickled vegetables to enhance the taste. We also tried their stir-fried beef noodles, half chickens, and pan-fried chive dumplings. Each dish was delicious and added to the overall enjoyable dining experience. Service is quick, noted that street parking is not easy. ”

“ Came here with my family around 11am on a weekend and it was pretty empty. Like other reviews have said, service is definitely not the greatest but if you grew up eating at these kinds of establishments you know that's just how it is, especially when it gets busy. Now if we're talking strictly food, it's pretty good. We ordered: Scallop fried rice w/ preserved olives (not specified but they're olive leaves) Beef chow fun w/ satay sauce Chicken and abalone porridge Chinese fried doughnuts Stir fried sea food with vegetables In my opinion, must gets are the porridge (the restaurant name is porridge and things so of course) and the stir fried sea food with vegetables (literally saw every table order this and it's SO good). The wok hei here is pretty good so if you order anything else stir fried I'm willing to bet it's pretty decent. Food also came out in like 5 minutes although we did come at a less busy time. All in all I would come back again if I am craving porridge, but I can't recommend coming here if you are looking for the best service. It's just not that kind of establishment. ”
