“This is my favorite spot in Greenwood. The phos and the beef salad are excellent. And, the portions are big. Each time we visit I leave very full. The first time we came on a Friday around 6:30 and had to wait about 45 minutes. Since then, we've arrived earlier at 5:30, and there hasn't been a wait. So, it's all about coming it at the right time. Even if you do have to wait, I think it's worth it.“
“Wow! What an amazing array of authentic dishes. Loved my tea egg and plum juice. The food was so flavorful, spicy, fresh and so tasty! The menu “app” was easy to order from with photos and descriptions, if you weren’t familiar with menu items. Items were well priced as well. This is definitely on my list for every time I come to Seattle!“
“It had been at least 5 years since we've last been to Din Tai Fung. We enjoyed our meal. I think I liked the Shrimp & Kurobuta Pork Spicy Wontons the most out of all the things we've selected. For dessert, we loved the Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao, and I could have finished an order of 5 on my own because of how good it was. I'm not sure when we'll be back, but I eventually want to try everything on the menu at least once.“
“Such an astounding experience today for my whole family and especially my dad. We made a reservation here to celebrate my dad’s birthday. We had heard the customer service here was great but even so they definitely went way above and beyond and thoroughly exceeded our expectations. Kay was our server, he made sure the whole experience was so good from the very beginning to the end for us. He decorated the whole table for his birthday, which was totally unexpected, even brought the cake out with a lit candle!! He even gave my dad a small gift. While my boyfriend and I were waiting for the rest of the family to show up, he brought us a small plate of fruit. Such attention to detail!My parents were very impressed by the whole establishment. Our water cups never went empty, Kay checked in on us often. I’ve never felt so welcome and taken care of.Free validated parking. The bathroom was stocked with mouth wash, toothbrush/toothpaste. He gave us hair ties and lens cleaners for my brother and nephew. The dancing noodle guy did a great job as well!Definitely come for a birthday if you want the person to feel special! The tomyum soup was the favorite among most of us, miso as well!“
“This place does not need any presentation as it is a famous international asiatic dumplings chain. The service was great as well as the food quality. We did eat the vegetarians dumplings and they were really tasty. I do recommend this place in case you want have an asiatic lunch or dinner.“
“I am constantly in search of good hot pot places in Seattle. While Hai Di Lao has been my go-to choice, after a meal at Qiao Lin it is definitely rising the ranks on my hot pot list and has the potential to overthrow hai di lao. During our visit, my friends and I chose the four-broth option, featuring two mild selections (tomato broth, pork bone broth) and two spicy options (Chongqing spicy broth, pepper pork broth). The waiter told us that the pepper pork broth was not as spicy but we found it to be the spiciest of the lot. We ordered the beef combo and the presentation was one of the best I've seen at hot pot. The combo arrived on a golden cow and even had a cool fog experience for the first few minutes it was on the table. Every cut of beef on that platter was a delight, especially the Wagyu. Since the platter was pretty filling we only ordered a few other items: quail eggs, skewers, noodles, and meatballs. These were good but honestly didn't compare to the wagyu from the beef platter. The wait staff were exceptionally friendly and responsive throughout our entire dinner. Their patience was notable especially when they graciously waited for us to finish our meal and didn't push us at all even though we were the last party to leave. I will definitely be back to Qiao Lin, primarily for the remarkable beef platter and the commendable service.“
“I absolutely love this place. Spendy? Yes, but the quality of this food is exceptional and clearly shows why it is spendy. I have gotten to know the staff as well as me and my family are regulars! For me, this is the only hot pot place I will go to in Seattle. I know everytime I come in I am getting a superb meal.Vegetarian options: You don't have to order meat at all. I bring vegetarian friends over and we split the pots to make sure no cross contamination, and that their soup base is vegan.“
“Great ambiance. Food looks amazing too. Quick and friendly service. Good chili oil. passionfruit and lychee drinks are decent, pretty sweet. Tofu Jiang Jiang was really good. Tofu Lamen noodles were decent, too creamy and heavy for single person, good for sharing though. Spicy veg dumplings were good as well!“
“To be honest, this wasn’t for me. I did not enjoy the noodles I had at all. Although the honey chicken wings were probably the best wings I have ever had in my life, they’re really crispy and full of flavor. I would highly recommend them above anything else.“
“We ordered through DoorDash, I was craving like comfort Chinese food and they really delivered. The dry style beef chow fun was one of the best I’ve had in recent memory - the rice noodles were super fresh and soft and the beef perfectly seasoned. We also had salt and pepper pork chops and General Tao’s Chicken. Both had big tender bites of meat and good crispy breading that’s not too thick. Portion sizes were excellent too, enough for leftovers. This is our new favorite Chinese spot.“
“As a first time visitor to this restaurant I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and professional. Food was very tasty and delivered promptly. I especially liked the Black Truffle & Chicken Xiao Long Bao. Such a great first time experience. I will definitely come back and would highly recommend eating here. Remember to book a reservation. They fill up fast.“
“We got the boiled beef tripe mixed it’s good If you like spicy and numb. You definitely need to eat with rice. The portion is good to share with friends. We are two people, we order one dish and two bowls of rice. But if you’re a big party you can order various dishes to share. We will coming back again for sure.“
“I had beef stuffed jianbing, lunch mate had spam and potato jianbing. Passed on the duck giblet stew. Some refer to these as Chinese crepes. Very filling.. I will go back.Parking: Find a pay lot and walk or take the Light Rail or a bus. Walking distance from Light Rail station.“
“After getting hand made noodles in Oakland, I was seriously craving some upon my return. Dumpling the noodle satisfied this craving and made it into my list as a vegetarian spot for going on dates. Absurdly good food, with one split place of the chili vegetarian lamen, mushroom buns and the shiitake bokchoy dumplings I felt as if I’d been through an entire feast with my partner.Ingredients, presentation and price is all incredible for the value. One of my favorites!“
“I moved to ID just to be within walking distance of this amazing place. This is my favorite food in all of ID!!! There’s not a single bad dish on this entire menu. No matter what time you order or who’s working, it’s always fantastic. The meats are always cooked perfectly, the noodles exquisite and the quality of their veggies are S+ They’re very accommodating to food requests and the ladies up front are always so kind!“
“This is a gem. The service staff was very attentive, kind, and friendly. It was clear their customers are important to them. We enjoyed the walnut shrimp and egg rolls. It felt like we got to experience a bit of true Seattle history at one of the oldest chinese restaurants in the city (1935). All of the thank you cards, photos, articles, and nice messages to the team over the years along the wall make it clear that the owners and team care about community and service. We felt it to. Thank you Tai Tung team!“
“Love this place! Seating is a little tight because it's so popular but their food is pretty good! Very affordable and always consistent with the taste and flavor. I would recommend but I don't want others to visit so I don't have to wait. lol“
“Went in with my parents and brother for dinner and WOW! This place is great! Good service, atmosphere is nice and the decor is a sight for sore eyes. The Dolar Shop is perfect for hotpot lovers and I recommend getting the half spicy and half creamy broth!“
Hot Pot • $$
“Our go to hot pot place. Perfect for all you can eat hot pot with lots of options. Everyone leaves full, happy, and smelling like hot pot broth.We usually do the tomato and mushroom broths, then load it up with meat, noodles, and some veggies.Be sure to come here with ample time on the weekends, as wait times are sometimes 2 hours.“
“Sooo fast and good! Got takeout to reheat for dinner and it was so delicious omg. It was ready in 5 minutes when I walked in. The worker was very kind and welcoming, and helped us with the menu. SO MANY OPTIONS!! And the prices are the best you’ll find in this area for food. Every meal came with salad and rice, the atmosphere was super nice and clean. Highly recommend for takeout or dine in. They had tons of drink options too!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options, the tofu is delicious and the vegetables are so fresh and yummy“
“Came here on a Sunday night for dinner and ordered off the happy hour menu. Most of the tables were full despite making reservation. We ended up sitting at the bar. We had five items: Dan Dan noodles, chicken wings, broccoli, shrimp egg roll and pork short ribs. Everything came out quickly and was so delicious! This is definitely elevated Chinese food. Dan Dan noodles has such savory aroma that it was love at first bite. ? The waiters were definitely busting their chops to get everyone served. Will definitely come back to try other menu items.“
“This was such a treat. My husband is heavily into Chinese cooking and particularly loves siuhchuan and I am gluten free and can never eat Chinese out with him. Not only were most dishes available gluten free but the food was phenomenal. In the top 3 best meals I've had in Seattle and we eat at a lot of restaurants. Highly recommend. Just don't do what I did and rub your eye after.Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options.“
“Delicious hot pot in downtown Bellevue! For broths we had the house spicy and tomato. Big warning on the house spicy broth...even the "light spicy" is extremely spicy! It's very tasty but it will burn you twice if you know what I mean, especially vegetables that seem to soak up all the spicy oils. Our favorites were the beef short ribs and lamb shoulder. Fish filet was pretty good too, though I think we overcooked them. We also got Mexican shrimps that were huge but I wish they were de-veined, that was my only gripe of the meal. I really appreciated the wait staff, they were patient and explained how to order off their iPads, and gave recommendations that we enjoyed. The underground parking lot is kinda narrow and limited, so I bet it's a nightmare on busy weekends.“
Dumplings • $$
“The food is good - I ordered takeout and picked it up on my way to the train station. Cute packaging….but there are no eating utensils, napkins or even sauce for my dumplings!!! I understand not including especially utensils and napkins - that turns into garbage. But at least ask if one needs it when you hand over the order! And for sure include the sauce with the dumplings. Who ever heard of such a thing??“
“- Great food but no duck/pig blood-We came here tonight for the all-you-can-eat option, and I had to get on the waitlist ahead of time since they usually get busy at night. We waited for maybe 15 minutes there before we got our seats. While waiting, you can grab their complimentary snacks and enjoy if you are too hungry.You can pick two kinds of lamb and two kinds of beef for all you can eat, and we never figured out which is which lol! And for seafood and fried appetizers, they always get me a set amount no matter how many I want (which is funny). We don't really need to order 3 rounds, but I did order the golden fried bun and the fried mochi for the last round since they gave us so little each time. We were disappointed that we didn't see any duck blood or pig blood on menu since it's a must for hot pot :(! Btw, we didn't get the sauce bar as their appetizers aren't very appetizing and we aren't interested in other stuff either.I was super full afterward, and my husband skipped two meals after and lost weight :D! I got some soft serve on the way out and the texture is between soft serve and a slush haha! We later came back for their $39.99 weekday lunch combo for 2 and found the amount of food more appropriate for the two of us.“
“Din Tai Fung is a great place for drinks and yummy food with friends. Always busy, you need a reservation if you want a seat without waiting too long. And don't be late or you will lose it.So many delicious options. The DTF Old Fashioned is very special with an oolong tea syrup. Wood ear mushrooms in vinegar dressing, Shanghai rice cakes, and Xaio Long Bao soup dumplings are standouts. Hot and sour soup is also delicious. Not shown is the fresh orange green iced tea with boba: very refreshing and not too sweet, the flavor of the jasmine green tea shines through highlighted by the orange juice. Highly recommend any of the locations for a fun and delicious meal.PS If you found this review helpful, please heart it. Thank you!“
“Excellent food with outstanding service.On our way out after indulging in most of the menu nearly every staff member in the dining room thanked us.Thank you again Joon for outstanding service!Parking: There is easy access to parking on Bell Square across the street. Or paid parking in Lincoln Square with validation from your server.“
“The dumplings looked like it was made awhile ago and kept steaming in a to go container.I ordered the pork chive dumplings and they were.. subpar at best. Not even tenderness throughout, and little flavorings. I couldn’t really taste the chive. The pork itself was good though.“
“I really like this place for its Beef Biang Noodles. There pretty decently spicy, and have the usual chewy noodles your expect. I usually get the one without soup. They also have some decent spicy wontons. Beyond those two, I think their other stuff is pretty okay (I had the pot stickers before, and they were okay). You can allay get milk tea and smoothies here, but I don't think they're known for them. I did like my Honeydew Smoothie here, though. Overall, I do recommend checking it out, if you're in the area.“
“The owner is very friendly, their food is the best northern Chinese cuisine I had in the greater Seattle area, I tried pepper and pork intestine, lamb soup noodles, the stir fried veggie, and I tried the hand-pulled chicken last time, I like all of them! Their food would be my first choice if I need a party catering in the future ?“
“Lamb chops are really expensive... I remember one time I wanted to try it after buying something from Baijia, but I ended up ordering more than 50... The taste was actually pretty good, but the price was too expensive! Liangpi is delicious (but my Xi’an friend said it’s not very authentic), overall it’s pretty “
“Let's talk about Frying Fish, the Chinese eatery nestled in the mall area alongside Safeway and a cluster of other spots. Finding a spot to park is a breeze, and once inside, you'll find yourself in a cozy space adorned with traditional Chinese decor. Despite its prime location, scoring a table is usually a cinch, which is a pleasant surprise.Now, onto the main event--their signature Sichuan frying fish. It's got a bit of a greasy kick, but boy, is it flavorful. The portion sizes are nothing to scoff at, ensuring you'll leave satisfied. With five spice levels on offer, I tend to stick to a solid 4, but if your taste buds are feeling adventurous, they'll happily mix it up for you.When it comes to sides, the eggplant with basil or pea vine in garlic are standouts. The eggplant brings the heat, so proceed with caution if spice isn't your thing. But trust me, it's worth it. And the combination of basil and eggplant? Absolutely divine. While the pea vine might set you back a bit more, its unique flavor and texture make it a worthwhile indulgence.For those looking for an alternative to frying fish, the tea smoked duck is worth a try.Just a heads up--the dishes don't come with rice, so be sure to order some on the side or prepare it yourself at home.All in all, Frying Fish offers a unique twist on Chinese cuisine that's sure to leave a lasting impression. If you're in the mood for a culinary adventure, don't hesitate to give them a visit.“
“Second place In Seattle that my family goes to often . It feels like a hole in the wall place but it's an atmosphere we enjoy. Loved everything. Well first thing I didn't love was the fried chicken in salty egg yoke. I might just not be a fan of salty egg yoke. It didn't have much “
“Update 2023 sep:Ordered Braised pork rice, the braised pork was so little on the top and the rice texture was so wrong. Give 4 stars cuz the flavor is alright and I wish they read this review and have better quality control. A year ago was really good.2022 reviewFoods here are SCRUMPTIOUS and v authentic Taiwanese food!! cant believe I didn’t know this place earlier!“
“Im sitting in Youngs waiting for my to go order....the 2nd one in a weeks time. Figured I should leave a review. Youngs is our go to now for all things Chinese. Its not perfect but it is really good. My partner told me its his favorite. Guess its mine too! The fried rice is the best Ive had in a long time. Their sauces are done well...sweet and tangy. Ive just discovered their Yor Wonton soup...love it. They must do their bbq pork in house...its delicious and a must try. I dont love that its served on a bed of lettuce...but aside from that its wonderful. I lived up the street from this place for YEARS and didnt find it until I moved out of the area. Bummer. But...distance wont keep us away. We're huge fans. One day we will give breakfast a try too. Thanks Youngs!“
“My favorite place to take important guests for a nice meal and a nice conversation. My favorites are as follows:- House fried rice- Buddha's delite- Crispy noodles with white sauce- Black pepper beef- Orange chickenThe service is stellar. Our glasses of water is never below half-full. All of the silverware is always clean. The water never tastes like dish soap. The servers are always helping each other to make for a great experience. The food here is wonderful. We've been going for over 20 yrs, and it hasn't changed at all.“

“Delicious fish dishes! First time here, a small restaurant with lots of flavor. Highly recommend giving it a try. The signature sauerkraut is just the right spice if you're in between spicy levels. The golden pickled one was less spicy, without the dried chilies.“
“Adorable mom & pop place with classic tea house balcony and solid food. Staff was extremely friendly and food was tasty and freshly prepared. Good mix of dim sum staples and classic Hong Kong and Macau dishes like the baked casserole and coffee/tea mixed (if you really know HK diner food then you know this iconic beverage). Quiet and no wait so give them a try next time you're huddled outside next door!“
“Great place for lunch or dinner. The food is delicious and the portions are bigger than other restaurants. The vege ingredients are fresh and cooked to crunch. The owner, Lee, is very friendly and genuinely cares about your dining experience. I recommend this restaurant for dine in or to go.“
Vietnamese • $$
“If you're in the mood for some delicious Vietnamese cuisine, Rainier Restaurant is the place to go. The broken rice with pork is definitely a standout dish - it's absolutely delicious. Cocktails and drinks here is really as well. The staff is friendly and overall it's a great place to eat.❤️ ?“
“DELICIOUS food. Perfect for family style eating and truly one of the best Chinese/Szechuan places in the area. The green beans (we add fried tofu) is sooo yummy and the fried chicken cubes is very unique with a Szechuan flavor! Honestly everything we’ve ordered is so good. For family style eating, it ends up being a very affordable place to eat. This is a spot we will return to again and again!“
“My Taiwanese parents thought all of the noodle soups we ordered were delicious! And they have high standards. Not easy to find great food like North Noodles and Dumplings. We are so glad we decided to try it out last night. Taiwanese beef noodle soup, chive dumplings/ beef stew.... Sorry I don't remember the English names. And my son loved the won tons and xiao long Bao as well. Service was excellent too! She was busy but still kind and friendly to us.“
“One of the things that caught my attention right away was their promotion for freebies. They offer a free egg if you check in on Yelp and a free soy milk if you leave a Google review. It's a clever way to encourage engagement with their customers and incentivize feedback. Now, onto the food. I ordered the cumin lamb crepe, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. The lamb was incredibly flavorful, and what impressed me the most was that the crepe itself wasn't soggy. It held up well to the fillings, which made every bite enjoyable. The service at Me + Crepe is interesting. It's more of an afterthought as you order at a touch screen and then wait for your order to arrive. While it lacks the personal touch of traditional table service, it's efficient and suited for those who prefer a quick and straightforward dining experience. I also tried their tea egg, which was good, although I wished the tea flavor was a bit more prominent. Nonetheless, it was a tasty accompaniment to the meal. As for the free soy milk, while it might be poured from a jug, it did its job well in balancing out the spicy flavors of the cumin lamb. Sometimes simplicity is key, and it certainly did the trick.“
“Food is excellent but on take out orders there is too much sauce and leaks through the takeout container into the bag. Last time there was hole in the bag and the sauce dripped everywhere before I realized. Need better containers or to use less sauce.“
“Hm, after leaving Taiwan 2 weeks ago and eating here, 19Gold is reasonably taiwanese.You can’t beat the prices in Taiwan. Bowl of Beef rice is $2-3/bowl vs stateside for $8. Plus the motherland is better typically in flavor. 3.5 star out of 5.The Mala noodles? I don’t like the 5-spice but it’s good. Comparable to the motherland. 3.75 star.The beef noodle? Solid enough 3.75 star. The popcorn chicken? Very good, 4 star. The fried Chinese doughnut? Average 3.5 star. Good execution in frying it but it’s off somehow, probably the dough. The green milk tea with grass jelly? Very good, 4.5 star.Food overall? 4 star. Price and value? I’ll round up to 5 bc Seattle is expensive and everything else in Taiwan is half or 1/3 the price so you can’t compare.“
“I got the chicken katsu. It was crispy and the oil was really clean! They also gave me a ton of rice and salad. if you’re wondering from the picture, I got no dressing and turned the chicken over a little bit but otherwise that’s what you’ll get if you order here. I brought my own garlic sauce from teriyaki bistro in issaquah which may be tacky but it took the meal from a 10/10 to a 13/10 ?“
“Located in SLU, this is a pretty decent Asian fusion noodle spot opened up by owners from Plenty of Clouds. The concept features a slightly more upscale format for noodle dishes of dry and wet varieties, as it doubles up as a bar with some cocktails. I personally tried the Wanza Mian which had ground pork, numbing spices, chickpea, and spicy and tangy broth. The noodles were flavorful though a little bit on the softer side, but the dish itself is very hearty and not too spicy. I liked it overall, but the dish is on the saltier side. Also, $19 for not that much food is on the higher end of the pricing, and they also just raised the prices so that did not help. I had to get half of the dish to-go because I was not able to handle that much salt in one seating, and I eat out often enough to tolerate salt decently well. Service is fast and more casual, so the meal was a relatively quick yet enjoyable one. I may try a dry noodle dish in my next visit and see if anything changes.“
“Not sure why ratings are so low. This place is a hole in the wall shop that sells some Chinese cold delicacies but mainly steamed buns and soy milk. The buns are huge (like the size of an adult fist) and cheap like $3-4. Are they the best buns I've had? No but they're definitely tasty and filling. eating 1-2 will pretty much fill an average adult up and it's super affordable. We love stopping by and picking some up for a quick weekend lunch“
“Absolutely delicious! We got the fried pork dumplings, beef stew (extra spicy) and noodle soup with chicken leg (less spicy). They were both very tasty. The spice level for the beef was wonderful, flavorful and not overly spicy. The chicken soup was very savory and they both had a great amount of noodles! It's always so disappointing to go places and they give you such a small amount of noodles, here that absolutely was not the case. Eat here, it's worth it!“
“The restaurant is known for its delicious food, featuring a diverse and appealing menu. The inviting atmosphere creates a comfortable dining environment, complemented by attentive and friendly service that enhances the overall experience. It's a delightful combination of flavors, ambiance, and hospitality.“
