“A casual Chinese savory crepe place. No dine in available temporarily. Currently to go order only. Order using the tablet and wait. Supposed to receive the text message when ready, though did not get the message this time. BBQ pork crepe was amazing. Crawfish was okay. Will add vegetables as extra next time. One order comes with two crepes. Plenty of food.“

“The place was very calming, with fast service! Our food came out within 5 minutes!
Although, I recommend that you don’t completely mix the food with sauce or soup, as it might get too salty.(Just if you are not used to lots of Asian food). Overall, I really loved the food, and the price is reasonable!“

The snacks are also a nice bonus.Whether it’s hanging out with friends, celebrating something special, or just craving a comforting hot pot meal, this place is always a great choice.“

“The song selection here is amazing and includes so many different languages. It’s so cool that the machine has YouTube built right into it! We're here for a company gathering, and we have a lot of teammates who aren’t native English speakers. The owners really went above and beyond to make this setup so inclusive for different languages.“

“I had not given a 5 stars for a long time but this place deserves it. 煲仔飯 was cooked at the right timing so the rice was crispy but not burned. 腸粉was tender and pairing with 皮蛋 gave an interesting twist. And then, the 芋泥was the best…“

“The atmosphere is bare-bones, but clean and friendly. We ordered the large pork belly and short rib combo to split between two people and were not prepared for the absolute feast we received! The sides and dessert were delicious and the main dish tasted like home-cooked comfort food. Tender meats and huge chunks of vegetable in a savory broth really hit the spot on a cold and soggy day. The value for the price can't be beat - it was enough for a large lunch plus dinner the next day for two people. We will be back to try more dishes!“

“Thank you, Brother Nai, for treating me to such a deliciously rich bowl of your fish soup.
I came in with little money on a cold, overcast day, and was going to buy what I could afford, but the chef and staff took great care of me, making sure I had a regular bowl of soup.
I will never forget to repay such kindness.
Thank you for sharing your hospitality, food and culture with me—for seeing me as a human.
God bless you 😌🙏🏽 谢谢“

“Got the steamed pork buns which was great. Highly recommend if you like a fluffy north eastern Chinese style pork bun, which can be very difficult to find in the area. The credit card machine is like always broken though so a little cash goes a long way.“

“My favorite restaurant ever. The spicy beef broth is incredible, and all the ingredients always taste super fresh. I love that you can fully customize your bowl depending on how hungry you are or what you’re craving that day. Plus the free ice cream is DELICIOUS!
It gets pretty hectic during peak dinner hours and the seating system is a bit confusing but it is still so worth it.
If I ever win the lottery I am going to build a ygf in my house so I can have it every day.“

“Eating in The Crossroads Mall is always awesome because there's so many choices that are so unusual from so many different places. I really love the Sesame tofu here and it comes in a portion size that makes it fairly worth the price. Although they added a tip without my consent if you don't notice they'll overcharged you. -1 star for being sneaky“

“Food was pretty good and tasty, we got the potato noodle with non spicy broth and mild spicy broth. Both of the broths were rich in flavor. The intestine was really good and had the right amount of chewiness. The portion is also just right. As someone who usually eats a lot, I left the restaurant pretty full and satisfied. The price is also fair. Would definitely recommend coming here for a quick and easy meal.
The only complaint I have is that the place might not be super clean (but it's also not dirty).“

“I had an amazing experience at Paik’s Noodle in Lynnwood! The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. The Stir-fried Jajangmyeon was rich and savory, the Soontofu Jjamppong had the perfect balance of spice and seafood, and everything tasted fresh and comforting.
The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and the service was fast and friendly. It’s a great spot whether you’re craving Korean-Chinese comfort food or just looking for a satisfying meal.
Highly recommend Paik’s Noodle if you’re in the Lynnwood area—I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“My favourite Chinese Sichuan cuisine in Bellevue. Large portions, very tasty, 酸豆角炒牛肉 is my repeat dish and it’s better than what I had anywhere else. Ambient and service are also very good. Tip is to get member card for some discount. Worth a 5 five star.“

“Went here with some friends a few weeks ago and absolutely LOVED it, everything is at the buffet except the main meats so the vegan in our party had a great time. Also, little to not risk of food waste as you can get only as much as you want. Flushing is very cool and it was a great time“

“This place was absolutely delicious! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly, attentive service that really set the tone for a great night. Even without a reservation, the staff went out of their way to get us seated quickly, which we really appreciated. The food? Even better than we expected! Most dishes we tried were full of flavor and clearly made with care—we ended up sampling quite a bit of the menu because everything looked so good, and honestly, nothing disappointed. It was one of those meals where you keep taking bites long after you’re full just because it’s that good. A special shout-out to the pineapple beer, which was a total surprise hit and is now a new favorite! It was the perfect balance of refreshing and unique—definitely something we’ll be coming back for. Overall, this spot made for such a fun and satisfying date night. We’re already planning our next visit (with a reservation this time!) and can’t wait to try even more. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, a warm atmosphere, and genuinely fantastic service!“

“I didn’t know that Google’s rating was so low and the English name doesn’t match the Chinese one. It seems that I changed stores before.
Today I ordered a small pot of beef offal rice noodles and it was pretty good. The soup was very rich. I was worried about the technology at first. But when I came back, I didn’t feel my mouth was dry. It should be a good soup base.
There are vegetables, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts and beef offal. The rice noodles are also cooked well. It would be better if there are beef tendons. The beef leaves are very tender. Overall, it is okay. A portion ranges from 14.99 to 20 dollars.“

Recommend to try it but I won’t repeat it!
Attention: how to bite bao without spraying people around you?
Poke a hole on the top and let the hot air go out!“

Nice friendly service.
Higher prices than average, but we are in this gorgeous nice city of Bellevue, every thing here in every where is expensive. Nothing cheap. Nothing has reasonable price.
But here the Portions are good.
Convenient place
Near QFC.

“Really good spicy chicken! I got white meat and it was super tender and the sauce was delicious. Was also so impressed by the flavorful fried rice. The portions are huge, so I’ll easily get three meals out of this. My husband ate his whole meal, though, and he also loved it. The lady at the register is so sweet. We’ll be back for sure!“

“Shaoshan Impression — A Rare, Authentic Taste of Anhui in Bellevue
Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)
Shaoshan Impression delivers something increasingly rare in the Pacific Northwest: a focused, regionally authentic Chinese dining experience rooted in Anhui cuisine. This is not generalized “Chinese food” — it is culinary specificity, bold fermentation, layered spice, and distinctive flavor profiles that reflect deep provincial identity. For that alone, it earns a confident 5 out of 5 stars.
Ambiance – 4/5
The setting is comfortable and understated, allowing the food to remain the centerpiece. It feels like a serious regional kitchen rather than a stylized fusion restaurant. The energy is warm and welcoming, and the staff is attentive in guiding guests through spice preferences.
Authenticity – 5/5
This is where Shaoshan Impression truly shines. Dishes like stinky tofu and stinky fish are not watered down for mainstream appeal — they carry the pungency, depth, and fermentation complexity that define Anhui cooking. For diners familiar with regional Chinese cuisines, this level of authenticity is immediately recognizable.
Each dish tastes distinct from the next — no repetitive seasoning, no one-note chili oil dominance. Instead, you get layered aromatics and intentional differentiation across the menu.
Flavor – 4.5/5
The spice level is beautifully calibrated. I appreciate that they actively ask how spicy you prefer your dishes — allowing for personalization without sacrificing authenticity. The málà and chili heat are assertive but balanced, ideal for someone who genuinely enjoys spice.
The only minor suggestion: the stinky fish would benefit from skipping the pre-frying step, as frying slightly dries the flesh before it absorbs the sauce. A more direct braise would allow the fish to remain juicier while retaining its bold character. That said, the flavor itself was still deeply satisfying.
Service – 5/5
Service was attentive and thoughtful. Staff were proactive in asking about spice tolerance and ensuring dishes were aligned with preference. It’s clear they understand their cuisine and want guests to experience it properly.
Cost – 5/5
Given the authenticity, ingredient quality, and generous portions, pricing feels fair — especially for a specialty regional restaurant in Bellevue. This is culinary value rooted in skill and tradition.
Final Thoughts
Shaoshan Impression is a destination for serious lovers of Chinese regional cuisine. It does not dilute, it does not simplify — it honors Anhui flavors with confidence. With only minor refinement needed on technique, this is easily my go-to spot in Bellevue for authentic Anhui cuisine.
A rare five-star experience rooted in culture, depth, and flavor integrity.“

“We’ve been coming here for 12 years. The food is always good and fresh. The service at times can take awhile but that’s if they’re short staffed. Even then you can see the employees are trying their best and you still get tea, water and your meal. They even remember my kids and notice how they’ve grown between visits. Love this restaurant, their food and the staff!“

“Taiwan beef noodle soup at Nan Noodle — really solid choice. The broth was rich and savory with a nice depth of spice, and the beef was tender enough to fall apart with your chopsticks. Noodles had a great chewy bite. Portion was generous without being overwhelming. Definitely hits the spot if you’re craving something comforting and flavorful. Would order again🔥🔥🔥👍🏾👍🏾“
