    First time visiting Porridge King, and I’m really impressed! The food is absolutely delicious, and the service is great. One unique thing about this place is that they allow you to bring in seafood for them to cook. I picked up a fresh crab from 99 Ranch, and they prepared an amazing salted egg crab—100/100, so good! Definitely coming back to try more dishes. Highly recommend!

    We had burgers for the last few meals and got sick of it. So, when we arrived SFO, we were looking for Chinese food. I went to Google nearby and read good reviews about this eating place. All of us were pleasantly surprised that the dishes were better than we had expected, the fried Mee Hoon stood up with 2 Thumbs up. We returned to this place consecutively two days. Twice we failed to order the Garlic Chicken, always sold out when we arrived there at 8pm. I could have given a more than 4 stars if the waiter could be more patient.

    Such a wonderful, no-nonsense, comforting, and the best casual Chinese restaurant in Daly City! They had all my favorites here that it was hard to choose them all but all the food was delicious with abundance of “wok hey” for the courses that are supposed to have it which is a testament to me on how good Chinese food is. Friendly staff and the portions are definitely above average which is great for my wallet. I would not hesitate to come back and such a gem! This restaurant is the real deal!

    Good place for roasted Duck or Porridge after grocery shopping at 99 Ranch. Porridge was filling. Duck was flavorful. Not feeling the dipping sauce.

    One of the most underrated places³ I ever went to. The duck is so good. The porridge was delicious and better than many places I went to in Oakland Chinatown. Sweet and sou pork was very authentic and not too sweet. Definitely will go there again

    The bbq pork here is the best I've ever had. The duck, not so much cause it doesn't come with the Au Jus sauce. two item bbq pork and duck over rice, $20. Too expensive to me for the small amount of meat. Bbq pork makes up for everything. Just it that on its own.

    Although named ‘Porridge King’, they also serve other classic Cantonese dishes and have a BBQ section (for char siu, duck, etc.). The main negative is that they are generally more expensive than other restaurants in the area (e.g. Skyline Cafe). Their regular wonton noodle soup was $11.50 before tax and tip. It came with A LOT of egg noodle, and the soup and wontons tasted great. No veggies or garnish of any kind though. Service was better than at Skyline Cafe. Cash only.
