50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Bothell

“The owners are amazing and so friendly. 😁 My dad and I always loved going here to enjoy the delicious food and great conversations with the owners for many years. Since my dad's death almost 3 years ago it has been bitter sweet visiting this restaurant again with so many great memories. One day I hope to return because I miss the great food and even better friendly conversations with the owners as we enjoyed our meal. My dad and I always ordered Sizzling Rice Soup to share, Almond or Lemon Chicken and Mongolian Beef or Triple Delight. Every time we came the owners knew what we wanted to eat. 😁“

“12/25/2025, 5pm Fyi, they are 2 hours behind and don't start until you arrive. Get here in a hurry if you want to eat today. Thankful they're open! Merry Christmas.“

“Great place for quality Celiac friendly food. My wife loves this place for that. I can honestly say that the vegetable yakisoba is fantastic. Love that you can choose the spice level on pretty much all dishes. Our families go-to spot for Chinese/American.“

“I started ordering from uber eats back in February because they had chicken pho. I’ve been ordering on uber eats there for a while and it has never disappointed. The portions are always good for my husband and I. Recently, my husband and I decided to go in for dinner and we were pleasantly surprised as they offer free chicken noodle soup or miso soup to costumers eating there. The lady working the front was so sweet. I will keep on coming back!“

“We love eating at Teriyaki, etc! after church on Sunday! ~Renew Church“

“Great food and even better customer service. Thank you“

“Great food and quick service.“

“Great place for quick bites with a lot of options. They have self order booths with photos so its easy to order too.

We ordered a duck jianbing and didn’t expect much but overall I would say this is an easy 8-8.5/10. Outer layer is soft, very eggy serves with the shredded duck inside and the crispy fried stick. They also spreaded a chili sauce inside. So savory and have a good kick.

Great food, great price, great portion - I would go back :)“

“The service was great . I liked the fish items .“

“There's this unexpected gem, you MUST try, in the U-District! It's the Red Pepper Chinese Cuisine! They are this great clean and fairly fast restaurant, that serves up hearty and delicious meals! Most of their entrées serve 2 or more people (almost family style), so bring your appetite!!! We had their Dry Pot dish, where you can choose 5 mix and match ingredients, on their menu. A Stir-Fried Noodle, with Chicken and a Deep Fried Chicken Soft Bone, with RED PEPPER! 😉🔥🌶 Everything was super delicious and filling!!! It looks like they have great lunch specials too, so go check them out and lmk what you try! Cheers!“

“Reliably good Szechuan food right on the Ave. Don't miss the string beans or hot oil noodles. Nom.“

“Friendly staff and clean space. I was in the mood for noodles and the beef noodle was fantastic! Broth was great and it was filling! So good and honestly taste better then some bigger more expensive names... Like din tai...

I was eyeing dumplings but she told me that would definitely be too much food for just me. Lol! She was right. Appreciate the honesty. I still got the BBQ steam bunds to go and they were good!

I'll be back!“

“If I could give 10 stars to service, I would! The manager was extremely kind to every customer and helped me with an issue when I ordered. They were also very polite when the item I ordered was unavailable and offered a good alternative. The restaurant was adorned with cute holiday decorations and the dumplings I ordered were delicious! I greatly recommend coming here for atmosphere, service, or food 🤩“

“I ordered the hotpot noodle soup. The soup was hot and delicious. The broth was rich but not overwhelming. Our server added all the ingredients and stirred our soup together for us! I really appreciated it. Overall, would definitely come again.“

“fresh ingredients and a flavorful Chinese-style seasoning. The offal is cooked to the right texture—tender and not overdone—while the sauce is rich, savory, and well-balanced. It pairs very well with steamed rice and is a great choice for those who enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine. Overall, it is a satisfying and hearty dish.“

“We have been going to the Edmonds location for over 7 years! We love their food! It’s a great spot and kids are welcome. Here are some of our favorites: The egg and chive dumplings OR the entree, The colorful salad, their fresh noodles in the chow mein are super good as well, and the accompaniment foods. My husband regularly orders a big order of the Spicy noodle salad and divides it up for the weeks lunches!! The LFP location is a great spot to get quick food and I order them on Uber Eats! Bonus!! My only wish would be the Edmonds full menu also being on a delivery service.“

“xi an noodles was my favorite food“

“We tried three signature dishes. The fried pork chop was well-done, with the juicy and scripy texture. Best enjoyed with a dip of soy source. The panfried dumplings have a thick skin and a filling with overpowering ginger flavor… The wontons are large and filled to the brim, but skin is also slightly thick. Perhaps that’s the Shanghai style, but if you prefer dumplings with thin skin, this is not the right place for you.“

“Been there twice and tried most of the vegetarian dishes, and LOVE all them! Great food, decor and service! Will go back with more friends! 😍“

“Beef onion buns are a must try!!“

“Wow Teriyaki is excellent. Great food and good portions. Ester gives great service she’s very friendly and personable. We have enjoyed dining at her restaurant for years . I’m so glad she is here in Lynnwood. Thank you for being so awesome!. “Mama.”“

“Outstanding services, They're extremely friendly and the food was delicious.“

“Fast and courteous service, and enjoyed their delicious food! My first visit here and planning on many more in the future.“

“Our server was very nice and attentive. The overall flavor of the broth and texture of the noodles is great. The portion size is medium, and the price is quite high for a bowl of noodles, which makes it feel like a delicacy. You’ll probably need to order more than 1 item to get a full meal out of it. I had the Wanza Mian 豌豆杂酱面“

“Consistently excellent food; the freshest ingredients. Never disappoints!!“

“Excellent soups for lunch menu!💗“

“Constantly amazing. Good is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great atmosphere and super friendly service! The food tastes authentic and flavorful, just like Hong Kong. The portions are generous and the price is reasonable. Loved their roast dishes and dim sum, definitely coming back again. Highly recommended!“

“This is quite the little gem in Aurora! We have been going here about 20 years or so, and it had always had consistently good food, and the owners are really nice. During COVID, they went to take-out only, so you get a bit of a thrill pulling up to the back door and waiting for someone to come out. :-)

We have tried many of the dishes here, and all have been good. Some of our favorites are the Soft Egg and Prawn, Curry Beef, Mongolian Beef, and House Special Fried Rice.

Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!“

“Fantastic meal and experience!! Closed for dining, but opened for us (visiting from NC) and we enjoyed the best Chinese dinner and sweet hospitality!“

“One of the most beloved restaurants by locals. It’s always at the top of my list and worth the drive from downtown. The staff is lovely, the noodles are great, and the ambiance makes you feel like you’re at home. I’ve been here dozens of times and I will continue to do so.“

“I love skewers but haven’t been able to find any quick spots in Seattle, so was excited to have stumbled onto this place!

The chicken cutlet was crispy and delicious, although the chicken skin wasn’t very crunchy at all. Definitely not the best skewers I’ve had, but it was solid and nice for a quick meal. I’ll be returning to try other skewers! Service was friendly, although it was pretty busy so took longer than we expected for our two skewers.“

“Great selection of szechuan food. I tried their over the hridge ruce noodle which is my hometown dish (Yunnan province). It is decent and well done. The server was a very sweet lady. Great price for delicious authentic Chinese szechuan food.

Only thing I see that needs improvement is their workstation for side job- it is is next to the diners (green beans all over the table). Maybe you can reserve a further area for side jobs.

Highly recommended !“

“Super friendly staff great prices and delicious food.“

“Best place for family style dinner. The variety of food is amazing!! The seating capacity is quite good. A/V quality needs to be improved but manageable. Their menu is quite big and the location is picture perfect- right on the Lake Union with tons of free parking.“

“This is an amazing little restaurant! We had the twice cooked pork and the garlic green beans. The pork was absolutely delicious and the garlic green beans were awesome too! It is a small place and it was packed when we went, but the server was attentive and very nice. 100% adding this to my list of favorite places in the area!“

“I ordered on doordash for pickup, my food was hot & ready once I arrived not even 15 minutes after ordering- perfect, beautiful. However, there was only one person working the front end & they were absolutely busting their ass. My partner ordered a bubble tea once we arrived & it probably took 20ish minutes to actually receive it. I am in no way complaining about the length of time it took, more so wanting to bring to the owners attention how hard this person was being worked during what was an insanely busy dinner rush. Food was decent for the price & I would definitely come back. Shout out to the pink haired FOH worker for their patience & warmth during an insane rush of people slamming their phone in their face & demanding to be seen.“

“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!“

“Told the owner who was working the counter that I was going through chemotherapy and needed a recommendation on something mild and easy on the stomach. He did a great job picking something out for me, someone who is not an adventurous eater. He chose garlic chicken w/ green beans. Never tried anything like it and I thought it was great! It was very easy on my stomach. 11/10, will be going there all the time while I’m in treatment.“

“This place is just the best. My family has been going here for decades. My father was actually their very first customer at grand opening. To this day we still celebrate yearly by having our family meet here for dinner. Absolutely wonderful staff, relaxing atmosphere, and the best Chinese cuisine you will have ever had (disclaimer i've never been to china 😅) you will not regret it. Love em, Ill be a customer for life, just like my dad was.“

“Amazing food, good portions, good prices, and amazing humans running the place.

I eat here about once every couple of weeks and it is always fresh, and soooo delicious.

They deserve a try and a shout out.“

“xi an noodles was my favorite food“

“One of our go-to restaurants on a cold day. The addicting mala fish is our favorite but the signature sauerkraut is also excellent if you’re not feeling spicy. The crispy pork is a great pair with the soup, especially when dining in so it stays crispy.

Quality has been consistent across many visits and one soup + pork is enough to feed the two of us. Overall a great stop!“

“beautiful little place with Amazing food, super friendly owners. absolutely loved it here.“

“There are definitely some star dishes here! Maybe it's just me but I'm not really into the dishes they're known for, which is their chicken and soup. The texture wasn't really to my liking, as there was a lot of skin and fat to get through.“

“I keep coming back to this Chinese restaurant for their congee, it’s always comforting and delicious. I’ve also tried other dishes, and they’ve all been very good as well. Consistent quality and great flavors make this a place I enjoy returning to.“

“food was delicious. staff was very professional and courteous and friendly. awesome place to dine.“

“Honestly for being so far from the house an just looking for a good, afford meal is a hard thing to do in the Washington area but this place deserves 10/10 they are friendly, clean, an super affordable! Definitely keep it marked on my maps.“

“Super great deal on their bento boxes, and the food was delicious! The lady at the front was very polite and she even gave our group free complimentary white rice. The store also has complimentary miso soup and hot tea which is also great. Definitely recommend!“
