      We've been going to Oceanic for years and after living out of California for a few years we had to stop here to pickup some food. Still great food that is fresh and flavorful without having too much salt. Very friendly service as always too. We also always enjoy the free spring rolls with our order.

      I ordered crispy crunchy noodles and got exactly that! The veg and beef and sauce were separate so they wouldn't sog up the noodles before they got to me.
      And a nice little treat - they threw in a couple of spring rolls! So nice of them and I was delighted!

      This was my first and likely last time ordering from this place. We ordered delivery and were quite disappointed with the quality. The sizzling rice soup was ruined by stale rice and overcooked vegetables. The drunken chicken lived up to its name in all the wrong ways, and the chow mein was mostly noodles with a few measly green onions. It's puzzling how this place has a good rating; it's very deceiving. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

      We ordered lunch today. While the portions were generous and the food generally good, we ordered one dish that was virtually inedible. The mango chicken lunch special was ordered and very spicy was selected. There wasn't one bit of spice in it which meant that it was sickly sweet. I had to add a boatload of hot sauce to make it tolerable. The Mongolian beef lunch special which we also ordered is very spicy was only moderately spicy. So basically, the food was inconsistent

      Good food that reminds me of East Coast Chinese takeout. I recommend the Orange Chicken. Oh, I love that all of their chicken dishes are white meat only too. If you order directly from them, delivery is free and super quick.

      Came here to pick up a lunch plate.
      $15.39. Wasted. I ordered the General Tso's chicken with chowmein.
      The chicken didn't even taste like chicken. It tasted like damn tripe. If you know you know.
      The portions are super super small.
      The "on the house egg rolls" were not good whatsoever, super chewy and tasteless.
      Although I will say that the guy working there was super nice and respectful. But I'm there for food not company. I'm good off this place time to try others !

      The food was horrible. There was absolutely no taste and the quality of their food is as horrible as the lack of any kind of taste. The Westlake Soup was like water w/ canned vegetables and the wings had just ONE bone in, taking the
      other bone to make it separated. I can't even find the words to describe how disappointing and how horrible the food was....whoever hired the cook, the owner should take some time to find a better chef. I'm bringing the food back so they can taste it for themselves!!!
      ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!
      Don't waste your money.

      The standard of excellence for take-out Chinese in San Mateo. Consistently great. Never greasy or bland like some others we've tried.
