A Foster City institution for over 20 years serving American Chinese classics with famously generous portions and low prices — Dai Chin chicken, garlic noodles, honey walnut shrimp, and broccoli beef as takeout staples.
Rickshaw Corner at 901 Edgewater Boulevard in Foster City has been a Peninsula institution for over two decades, the kind of place where regulars have been going for years and staff know what they want before they order. It operates primarily as takeout with limited dine-in, and the formula has never really changed: large portions, fair prices, and classic American Chinese dishes done consistently well.
The Dai Chin chicken — tender chicken in a savory blend of spices — is the signature and most reordered dish. Garlic noodles, honey walnut shrimp, broccoli beef, BBQ pork fried rice, salt and pepper chicken wings, orange chicken, lemon chicken, chicken chow mein, combination fried rice, shrimp with mixed vegetables, and hot and sour soup all draw repeat orders. The lunch specials are a particular value — a one-item combo with rice for around $8.50 and a two-item combo for $9.50 — and portions are consistently praised as outsized even by Chinese takeout standards. Reviewers regularly describe containers that feed two to three people or provide multiple meals. A full catering menu is available for groups. Open Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 8 PM, closed Sundays.
