Food was good, we got the porridge for two but portions are huge and can feed 3-4 people.Service was horrible. We arrived at 2pm and got served our food around 2:15. The waiter came by after dropping off our food with the check and left it at our table (already quite rude since I was with a friend). He came by 2:18 and asked where’s the check. I said we’re not done, he told us they close at 2:30. I checked my watch and said there’s at least 10 more minutes. He said the sign at the door says they close 2:30. I asked him why he took us in at 2pm and didn’t say anything if they don’t want customers. He said there’s a hours of operation at the door and they close at 2:30. I paid and even tipped...
They did not have a note stating the alcohol ingredient in their chicken soup. Very unfriendly with people who have allergies or plan to drive or just doesn’t like the alcoholic taste in food. I had high expectations when I knew there is a Chinese restaurant that doesn’t come from Szechuan but ended up with disappointment.
My second time here and it never disappoints. My go to would be the porridge or beef chow fun.Vegetarian options: Seafood/vegetable optionsKid-friendliness: Many kid favorites dishesParking: Parking is fairly easyWheelchair accessibility: Double doors for easy wheelchair access
Came here for lunch brunch and was very pleased by the porridge and braised duck. The porridge is definitely the star of the daytime menu, would recommend trying that when you visit.

The seafood porridge is absolutely amazing! The shrimp and crab are of exceptional quality. Every dish we sampled here surpassed what we've had at other restaurants in the Bay Area.
Porridge Things offers great food with fresh seafood and an authentic Teochew-style porridge. Their menu is a perfect choice for those seeking genuine flavors.
This is terrible! Its watery, NO flavor, and only spicy. You can see the layer of hot water sitting on top. It was not cooked well!!
The porridge is excellent, and there's a fantastic selection of Chinese dishes available. Just be ready to wait for a table.

It was good. It took a while for our congee to come it came, like 10+ mins after we finished eating our other dishes.
The ways they prepared chiu chow dishes were not chiu chow at all. They claimed themselves asChiu Chow restaurant.
