“Delicious food. We had eggplant tofu with basil, combo fried rice and hot and sour soup. The Coca Cola was ice cold and refreshing. Everything was hot. Service was quick and very friendly. The food was definitely worth the money and the experience. Authentic. Fresh. Quiet and comfortable atmosphere. We will return soon!“
“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!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT! Business is always gooooood , short wait 20 mins . Longer wait 1 hour ? Because the food is good all the DTF location in Seattle are packed! There is bars with liquor quicker to get inFor those who never try I recommend order dumplings that’s what they famous for , service is very attentive and serve food fast !! My favorite Taiwanese restaurant! Even in Taiwan it’s still popular ????“
“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.“
“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 “
“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 ?“
“this is my favorite chinese place and my family always comes here to eat when we want to eat chinese food. the food is delicious and the owner melissa is super nice and friendly and fun to talk to ? they have nice decorations in the restaurant too. the hot and sour soup and mongolian beef are my “
“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.“
“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!“

“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.“
“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.“

“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.❤️ ?“
“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.“
“We drove to Chopsticks twice from Renton in two weeks! This is how amazing the food and customer service is ☺️ We ordered the Mongolian tofu, green beans and cucumber salad and the owner gave us free hot sour soup when she found out we were first-timers. We eat primarily Asian food and this is the best Chinese vegan food we've ever had! Chopsticks is hard to beat for the flavor, taste, and don't forget, the excellent customer service! The owner is friendly and she was always checking up on us. Please note that the two recent negative reviewers demanded they get free food or else they will post negative reviews everywhere. They ate everything and complained about the flavor? Gimme a break ? They also told the sweet and lovely owner to leave America. Believe the hype! We'll keep driving here from Renton to work our way through their delicious menu ?Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian friendly“
“Super authentic place to get Taiwanese food!! We've been coming here for years, and they never disappoint. They sell everything from shao bing to purple rice rolls, which are all delicious. Frozen and dry goods are also sold here. The owners are very kind and offer great service. I would definitely recommend coming here to buy Taiwanese food.“
“After a long day, I decided to order some comfort food from Best Wok through DoorDash. Craving something sweet and tangy, I opted for the orange chicken and sweet and sour chicken. The ordering process was smooth, and the food arrived promptly, which was impressive.However, when I unpacked the meal, I noticed that the portions were quite small considering the price - $20 per item seemed steep for the amount provided. Both dishes came with just one small container of white rice, which was not quite sufficient for two complete meals.Taste-wise, the dishes were good. The orange chicken had a perfect balance of sweetness and zest, while the sweet and sour chicken boasted a tangy sauce that coated the tender pieces of chicken nicely. When compared to my usual go-to spot, it fell a bit short.Despite the portion size, I must say, this was definitely the best Chinese food I've ordered through a delivery system so far. The flavors were spot on, and the convenience of having it delivered to my doorstep was a plus. I would recommend Best Wok to anyone looking for quality Chinese cuisine delivered to their home.“
“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“
“We came to dine in during Tuesday's dinner. The broth and food quality were excellent, and the servers were attentive.In addition, the restaurant currently offers 20%off discount from Mondays-Thursdays, 5 pm to close, which is a good deal! Besides the regular menu, they also offer an all-you-can-eat menu now!“
“Ordered the winter only lamb with Chinese herbal hot pot (羊肉爐) and steam cod with special bean sauce (豆酥鱈魚). The lamb has skin and tender all around. Very nice. Not huge amount but understantable as lamb with skin is quite expensive here. Flavour is correct. Special bean sauce add nice interesting flavour to the steam cod. Not many places has this dish. Overall, pretty good but price is definitely on higher side. Will come back for other food likely although have to order conservatively or else your wallet will be empty lol“
“Rice Noodles straight from Yunan 14220 NE 20th St suite a&b, Bellevue, WA*@nannoodle_bellevue is a small business in Bellevue that specializes in rice noodle soups . Their rice noodles are very special because they ship them all the way from Yunan in China to provide a more authentic texture and taste that you can't buy in local stores here. The rice noodles are then paired with different soups and toppings that starts with a soup broth made of pork bones, pork loin, spare ribs and about 30 whole chickens. The broth truly is delicious - hearty yet light, savory and umami. *Here's what we ordered: House Chili Oil Chicken Wontons in Well-Seasoned Chili Sauce (Dry) Traditional Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles Small Pot Rice Noodles w/ an added Egg*Everything was super delicious and reminded Sam of his time eating these dishes with his mom - these styles of noodles are her favorite . The House Chili Oil Chicken reminds more of a sesame chicken but the sauce is super addicting and delicious, we took the rest home and dipped dumplings and mixed noodles with it . We loved the wontons because the filling was nicely flavored and the wrappers were the perfect q texture; not to mention, the dry seasoning on it was so addicting ! Between the two rice noodle pots, our favorite was the Crossing-the-Bridge because of how clean and flavorful the broth was a you can really tell how much love went into the broth and it was so good we drank it even without the noodles .*@nannoodle_bellevue shares a space with @mogetee_seattle so after you get your savory from the noodle soups and appetizers, you can get your sweet from their fruit teas and boba drinks . We definitely will be coming back as it's the perfect place to warm our stomachs during this rainy and cold season! Go check out @nannoodle_bellevue when you're on the east side and are craving something warm and comforting !*#chopsticksnboots“
“My husband and I come here often and we've never had a bad experience. There's never been more than a ten minute wait for a table and the food always comes out fast! When ordering you mark a menu card and they bring out the different shareable dishes as they're ready and staff consistently clears away empty dishes and checks on your table. We always order a bit too much and end up overstuffed at the end of our meal, so I definitely recommend coming hungry!“
“We ordered the Crispy Chicken in Hot Garlic Sauce, the Mongolian Beef, and Chicken Fried Rice. All the dishes were fantastic. We will definitely go again. It's tucked away in a hidden little strip mall. It is clean and the staff are friendly, but it isn't what I would call fancy.“
“I got the spicy fried chicken and fried rice for takeout. Omg it was so good reminding me of home back on the East Coast. The price I paid was worth it because I actually have leftovers for tomorrow as well. Nice place to lunch in if you want.“
“This restaurant is huge with multiple rooms, but is understaffed. They tried to squeeze way too many tables with a table even almost right in the doorway. It's freezing at that table whenever anyone opens the front door. I think we only got our waters refilled once if at all, but we probably could have gotten more if we tried. It also took a while to get the check.We basically had one dish with each type of protein - free range chicken soup with cordyceps flower, steamed flounder with tofu, shredded pork with dry bean curd, and stir fried filet mignon, but also ordered the vegetable medley and "eggplants in hot garlic sauce".The chicken soup feels too overpriced, especially with the server spilling a bunch of it when pouring into the bowls. The shredded pork with dry bean curd and the eggplants in garlic sauce were both my favorite dishes. Their menu is huge, so there's going to be something for everyone. It seems like this restaurant is good for spicy dishes, even though we didn't have any.Parking: Tight parking spots“
“My husband and I love this little local treasure in Issaquah. It is located in the heart of downtown (the real issaquah) and surrounded by many cute shops and bars. If your looking for some good food, you will not leave this place disappointed. Furthermore, the staff here are very friendly and attentive.“
“Definitely an authentic Sichuan菜 experience to be had here. Flavors remind me of some of the best similar restaurants I've visited while living in China.Dry hot pots, stir fried green beans, spicy noodles, and (non-spicy) beef and Chinese broccoli and fried rice for the kids made this an all-around great choice to please any palate. Vegetarians also have a lot of options, but I would probably check to ensure it's Western veg vs. Chinese veg to make sure no dietary rules are broken!Although it can get packed, as many other reviews have mentioned, service via QR code ticket gets things moving fairly quickly, and you shouldn't need to wait more than 20 minutes or so.“
“Had lunch at this place before dropping my sister off at the airport. Great place to enjoy dimsum and other chinese food by the SeaTac area. It took us about 10 minutes wait to be served with our food. We ordered through a tablet. You can keep adding items to your menu anytime.We enjoyed the salad prawns. It had watermelons with it; quite refreshing. The seasoned string beans were not that good and quite flavorless; it could be a little saltier and crunchier. I have no complaints for the dim sums. The pork shao bao and shao mai is different from what I’m used to, but they are not bad.A surprisingly good one we ordered was the Singaporean style vermicelli/noodles. The flavors hit the spot! Highly recommended!!“
“So yummy! I picked up my ribs and surprisingly found the desert I've been looking for a long time. 40 minutes later the food is still at very hot temperature. The portion is very generous - I've got two meals from the small order, cooked perfectly. Definitely coming back again. Not much seating space, very kind service crew.“
“Went to this place for a music event in the bar. $20 cover charge. Food we got was reasonably good, but they were short-handed with servers with only 2 people to serve a full bar of 50 or more patrons. To servers credit they and the kitchen did a fair job serving. Nice selection of libations. Music was lively and fun. Looking at the dining room menu I'd like to come back to try their dinner fare, in particular their oxtail dish.The bar menu of garlic with soy sauce was fairly tasty from the bar menu.“
“Across 4 people, we got two orders of the "Valuable Meal for 2", and might I just say: it is VALUABLE. The portions per person were enough for multiple meals of leftovers each, and everything tasted delicious. The pork stir fry noodle specifically was a standout. It was also very reasonably priced for the amount of food. But be warned -- come hungry! The web app used for ordering is a little confusing and not super user friendly - in particular I got kicked out of my in progress order a few times for no reason I could tell, and there was no option to split any of the payment per table when paying (this is something that should be piece of cake through a web app IMO).“
“I’ve been here a few times for takeout, but I just wanted to leave a review because the owners are so sweet! I hadn’t come back in almost a year and the owner recognized me, both of them exude such positive energy. The food is delicious as well and reasonably priced! This will be my go to place for Chinese cuisine.“
“It's easy to write a negative comment/review about a restaurant, but to receive service so good that you are so happy to leave a positive review.First off, my family of 4 arrived just when lunch rush began. So it is expected to wait for a bit. But the 2 ladies ran the front so well, things were cleaned up and set up in such efficient way, we were seated in no time. They have excellent communication between each other which made the process went so smoothly.Food was great, the C2 dish (crispy chicken with special spicy sauce) was really good. Not really spicy but for someone that doesn't really eat spicy, I have nothing to complain about. Too bad the fried chicken steak over rice was a bit overcooked and dry.At the end we decided to get some bubble tea. Although they were so busy they were spinning like a top, the lady with red hair took the time to introduce their drink to us, and even offered to split the drink for our kids so they each have one drink in hand (they were so surprised and felt special).Gosh, the tipping system is so abused nowadays, but for these 2 ladies? A hands-down "take my money cause you rock"!!“
“Fan Tang Asian Cafe is a wonderful place to enjoy delicious Chinese food. The restaurant is modern and clean, and the parking is easy and ample. The ordering process is simple and convenient, using a touch screen and a number. The food comes out fast and fresh, and the portions are generous and reasonable.We tried the hunan sizzling pork bowl and the mei cai pork belly bowl, and we were very impressed. The hunan sizzling pork bowl had tender pork, fluffy rice, and a savory sauce, with some sliced bell peppers for a bit of spice. The mei cai pork belly bowl was amazing, with super soft pork belly and a sweet and tangy dry pickled mustard. It also came with a salad and some pickled bell peppers for some crunch. The service was friendly and efficient, and they cleared our table as soon as we were done.We loved everything about Fan Tang Asian Cafe, from the food to the price to the atmosphere. We will definitely come back for more mei cai pork belly bowls, and try other dishes as well. This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area, and we highly recommend it to anyone who loves Chinese food!“
“The best hidden gem. If you like north style traditional chinese food, this place is as authentic as you can get on east side. They have the best 鱼香肉丝 shredded pork with garlic sauce. Its great with noodle or rice. The #2 on noodle soup menu was also unbeatable. The noodles are fat and chewy. The soup base was also made with healthy ingredients. I didn't feel greasy after eating.The portion was big and price is reasonable. The environment is calm and quiet. Great for families or people like a great chat.“
“I love this place! They are clean, friendly, attentive, and have consistent, excellent, fresh food. They serve classic Chinese dishes and have the best customer service! Great price for the high quality, and they even deliver still. It is one of the last restaurants that still provides true service. This is a neighborhood gem that you want to last for decades.“
“The proprietress has a very nice attitude, and you can see the making process in the open kitchen... Not from Xi'an, I think the taste is generally good. The cold skin is not as delicious as expected, but it is far from the level of giving one star. The skewers taste Not “
“We went there for a dinner and it was a great experience. A minimal but great ambience and everything tasted awesome and fairly priced.We ordered the following:Pork & Crab Meat Xiao Long Bao (*2) - 8 pieces - $9.25 eaChicken Xiao Long Bao (*2) - 8 pieces - $9.25 eaFried Wonton with Chili Sauce - 6 pieces - $7.15 eaSweet & Sour Cucumber (*2) - $7.15 eaDan Dan Noodles (*2) - $7.75 eaPork Wontons in Chicken Broth - $7.75All the above listed items were delicious and worth praising. Absolutely recommended. We would love to visit here again when we visit Seattle.“
“I had mostly dismissed this place as a chain restaurant. Which it is, but very well done! It’s in a good location, food is affordable and the service is prompt. I’m not an expert at the cuisine, but loved what we ordered. The kale salad was simple and delicious. The crab meat xiaolongbaos were the bomb.“
“My husband got me takeout after I got home from day surgery yesterday. The food was good and fresh. I am removing a star because my husband tapped his card and somehow a 30% tip was added! Not cool. Generally we pay cash at restaurants and add a cash tip (18%) to the tip jar, but my husband used his last cash at the day surgery snack bar. We don’t ever use delivery services that charge restaurants 30% of their sales! I have read about ppl getting assigned high tips, but we had not experienced it until now. Beware!“
“Yummy food and generous portions!We came to this place around noon on a Sunday. We ordered claypot spicy beef rice noodle, wonton Sui-Kau Noodle soup, and Salt Pepper fried chicken. All tatses pretty good and homey! I'd recommend trying the claypot noodle if you want to try something more flavorful beyond the general canton dishes. It comes in different soup options: spicy, tomato, golden hot and sour etc. and it has loads of toppings including fish balls, beef balls, corns, ham, greens, etc. The service is very nice.“
“Ordered the Earl Milk Tea and it was great. They have drink promo on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Just felt bad for the guy making all the drinks by himself and the other staffs not helping him. Place looks clean. I will definitely be back.“
“The chicken teriyaki is phenomenal here. I am very picky when it comes to teriyaki, since we have so many spots to choose from in the PNW, but this one might just be my all-time favorite.The chicken is grilled to perfection, with just the right amount of sauce. I usually get half spicy and half regular.The portions are huge, I usually eat half and save half for home, which will be another full meal at a later time. Great prices too.10/10 highly recommend !“
“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.“
