Update: just tried the Soy Milk Chicken Pho, and it is my new favorite thing. Soul satisfying and unctuous without being heavy. Slightest hint of soy flavor, the coarse ground pepper packs the punch, and the pickled lotus adds just the right amount of tang and crunch. I already want to eat it again.

Modern and clean. Menu seemed strange with a bunch of creative fusion options, but I think it mostly hit. The soy milk pho was super creamy and surprisingly really good. The spring rolls and fried chicken were decent as well. The folks here were accommodating of our large group. Overall, an unassuming but solid option to check out.

Quite disappointed. The menu descriptions sounded intriguing but the reality was unpleasant. The green curry was bland. The beef spring roll appetizer was weird as was the chicken cheese one (“cheese egg roll”) and also the croquettes. I won’t be returning nor recommending it to anyone.

Loved this place! A friend of mine and his partner had been here a couple times and introduced us. The service was efficient and friendly. The ambiance was homey but still very clean and straight-lined.

An upscale restaurant right on El Camino, Rin-Tei is a great place to eat. First, I want to just talk about how lovely the bathroom is. It’s well maintained and smells so nice!

Fairly recent addition to the San Mateo food scene, offering an eclectic fusion of elements from Thai and Japanese cuisine. The ambiance and chef and her serving staff were nice and friendly. However, the food at least the lunch menu didn’t hold up to our anticipation. They have moved much of their fusion cuisine offerings to the dinner menu and we’ll need to visit again to have a fair opinion of their food.

This place is very underrated. If it was in the middle of downtown San Mateo, it would have an hour wait everyday. I got the chicken rice and it was very good. I am also very grateful that it closes later than 99% of places in the area. The interior design is also very fresh and clean. Would definitely be coming back.

There’s nothing like a bowl of Beef pho or Spicy Tofu Noodles on a cold day, along with some delicious appetizers!! We can’t wait to come back and try the other dishes.

Great menu selections for both foods and drinks. I’m not a big fan of the flavor files but the vibe here is great!

Love this restaurant. They serve really good fusion food (southeast Asian / Japanese), in a modern clean and elegant setting. Shocked that there aren’t lines out the door for this place. One of my favorites in San Mateo.
