Great Food  4 Star Rating - Very good

Gau Poang is a fantastic chinese restaurant. I used to eat there when they were in Burlingame. They had the best Chinese Chicken Salad. No one else can make it the same. The service is exceptional and the staff is friendly. Give it a try.

Especially like the videos of the venue from Restaurantslive 5 Star Rating - World class

Boy talk about some of the best Chinese food in the entire bay area. The Szechuan and Mandarian cuisine is superb! No wonder they have been in business on the Peninsula for over 27 years. I try to go there at least a couple of times a month an I love the GauPoang Crispy Chicken have never had anything like it anywhere in the bay area. You have got to try this dish.

Pros: Parking, food, food, food, food

Fantastic food & atmosphere, easy parking, and family owned.. 5 Star Rating - World class

If you're looking for quality Chinese food, a clean and comfortable ambiance, in a warm and inviting family-owned setting, this is the place!! I live in the city but drive down here to meet with friends often - a great dining experience every time. Dishes are prepared fresh and the restaurant space caters to small/ large groups alike. Gau Poang has many regulars, you often see the owners walking around and visiting with their guests. Feels like family. Definitely worth the visit.

Gem of the Pennisula!! Great Chinese food!! 5 Star Rating - World class

Gotta love this warm, inviting, family friendly restaurant with amazing Chinese food!! When my family and i heard Gau Poang reopened, we were so excited as they were one of our all time favorites before they closed down the Burligame location. Fortunately, their new location is only a stones throw away!! Everytime we come, we're greeted with happy smiles and leave with nice full bellies!! The restaruant is clean and the food is great. Highly recommend trying the egg/corn soup, eggplant, gau poang chicken and their famous potsickers!! So delicious!! Takes the guess work of "whats for dinner" out of the equation when our family is looking for a place to eat! We are delighted their back and just as great as before!!! Definitely a gem of the pennisula cuisine!!

Pros: Thumbs way up!!!
