50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Burien

“Best Chinese food in Burien.“

“They’re egg foo young (shrimp) is the best I’ve had. The gravy is perfectly done. We love vegetable fried rice and the peppered shrimp!

Vegetarian options: The veggie fried rice is great. Everything’s good so just order without meat. Sin carne.“

“Lovely Chinese food in Burien! It can be hit and miss but when it’s HIT it’s awesome!! The duck rules, the green beans are amazing, General Tsaos we’ve had better, great chow mein, aiight rolls. Also, the physical location is quirky and diff.“

“This is now my favorite place to eat in Burien. The food and service are awesome! And I greatly appreciate the fact that they are open late for dine-in. I don't drive, and often sleep during the day..and I always look forward to visiting and eating here! I only wish I could give this place 500 stars.“

“Recommend booking in advance. Very good price and delicious steak! Beautiful presentation. 1 salad + multiple dressings and dinner rolls to start.“

“Our first visit was yesterday for lunch and we had Chicken Xiao Long Bao, Chicken pan-fried potstickers, Chicken and Vegetable Won-tons in sweet and sour sauce and Spicy (Ma la) noodles.....all were very good! The service was excellent and we enjoyed the whole experience!!“

“Came here on a last-minute whim when my (raised in Taiwan) parents were visiting and requested Taiwanese food on a weekday evening. The restaurant was completely empty, but the staff was super friendly and helpful, the food came out fast, and the taste was super nostalgic. I'll definitely be back.“

“Went Monday at 2 PM. No line not busy. I like how you can make your own sauce to go with your meal. You pick your food put it in the bowl, then you pay for it and pick whatever soup base.

I will definitely come here again.“

“So good! Food was served quickly & SO delicious. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Quick to clear our table of empty dishes. Highly recommend! We will be back very soon!“

“Lucky Chinese is not an establishment that you’re apt to come across but if you’re willing, their offerings are certainly worth the effort.

Neither “Szechuan” nor “Cantonese”, you will find a dish that appeals to you. Despite a modest menu, ASK for what YOU enjoy, and be guided to the equivalent offering. Do be aware, and spice (hot) is subjective, but a “2 star” rating here might be closer to a 3 or even a 4.

Of particular interest, and if only to sample the fare, a soup is included with an “entree”. Normally, to try a soup, a diner would have to ORDER the same.

The portions were generous, and a request for Shrimp Chow Fun (not on the menu) was readily accommodated. That dish was bursting with flavor and reason enough to return.

A hearty full meal for two was purchased for less than HALF of what other establishments would have charged but your experience may vary, depending on your order.

There is limited parking, ample seating (take-away seemed the preferred choice), and again, the location is obscure (use your favorite GPS).

If you are a West Seattle resident, this may be the very establishment we have all been waiting for.

Bon Appetit!!“

“Food here is so good, one of my favorite spots in Seattle!! Love the DanDan noodles and YiBin noodles , Pork Xiaolongbao, But the Dandan noodles have a slightly numbing taste, My mom doesn't like the taste but I like it very much! Also Lots of great vegan noodles options too which is much appreciated. Food also comes out very quick, and the atmosphere is very good , The service was great too!!! Gets pretty busy on weekend at night, so make sure to make a reservation. I will definitely be back ! ! and recommend it to my colleagues.“

“From the moment the dishes arrived, it was clear that this establishment adheres to a truly traditional and artisanal approach. Unlike many places that rely on frozen or mass-produced options, the dim sum here is undeniably made in-house and by hand.
• Evidence of Skill: The precision and consistency of the pleats on the dumplings (如：虾饺的褶皱), the delicate shaping of the buns (如：包子的造型), and the fresh, vibrant fillings spoke volumes. This attention to detail immediately elevates the dining experience above the typical.
• The Texture Difference: The wrappers (皮) were a standout—thin, resilient, and perfectly translucent, holding their shape without being sticky or breaking. This level of craftsmanship is the foundation of great dim sum.“

“Always a wonderful time here. Really good karaoke night on thursdays, and you can join even if you suck thru work, they don’t judge. Daily specials Monday thru Sunday and every dish is made with love. A gem of the neighborhood and a blessing to be invited to“

“Stopped here for the first time today to pick up lunch. Loved the flavor and taste of each of three dishes we tried. This will now be our favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. Crispy & Spicy Fish 香辣鱼 & Szechuan Chicken 四川鸡 were particularly good.“

“Great value for the price and very generous portions. We came a bit late and many dishes were already sold out, so I’d recommend going earlier. No dine-in, takeout only. Although the place looks a bit worn down, the food was delicious and very authentic.“

“Best dim sum and ramen! My son could not believe what he was eating! We love their food and friendly service and cannot wait to go back. We drive down from two counties north! It’s a worthwhile pilgrimage.“

“The food is amazing! We love Melissa. She and her family are friendly and welcoming. The place is clean, the food is fresh and properly handled. This has been our family favorite for years to enjoy excellent Chinese food/stir-fry, to eat a good meal, to celebrate birthdays and to gather with friends. I would've posted more photos but we ate our food too soon (The Mongolian Beef is yummy)!“

“This is a small restaurant with limited sit down seating. They do a robust takeout and delivery business so they are always busy. The servers are not on top of you but they are responsive if you need something. Food comes out as it's done.

The food is delicious, we got several things a noodle soup, beef tenderloin, chive and pork dumplings, and pork and the pickled cabbage noodle dish.

The noodle soup fish broth was amazing and so flavorful. You can choose you noodles and I chose the normal noodles which were very good. One of the toppings we chose was the pickled vegetables and they were so good.

The beef tenderloin is an appetizer and served on a bed of lettuce. The beef is so tender and the sauce on the lettuce was very good. We were a little unsure about the lettuce but it was amazing.

The dumplings are obviously homemade and they were very good. They were large and stuffed with filling.

The pork and pickled cabbage was very good. It is spicy, we thought it was a 4 out of 5 on the white people scale of spicy.“

“Best wonton noodle soup place in the area. Family owned and managed.

Every time I am here, they are always packed. It will take them a while to get your orders in, to pay, to get their attention in general. Last time, I had to pick up my own soup spoon from the front cashier because there was literally none prepared on the table. I’d recommend going to the cashier directly to pay.

They also offer frozen wonton for you to cook yourself at home.

Overall, I highly recommend the food. Just give them a bit of grace when they’re busy :)“

“Amazing, fresh, quick food and awesome service. So glad we went in!!“

“I order takeout from here all the time, and I’m obsessed with their red chili oil — especially the diced rabbit and the red-oil dumplings and wontons.

I’ve seen mixed reviews — some say the chili oil is too much, others say it’s not enough. I’m guessing the ‘not enough’ reviews came after people complained it was too much, so maybe the chef adjusted it.

But honestly, it’s simple. If you want it lighter, just ask. If you want real Sichuan flavor like me, ask for extra — they nail it.

The food is seriously good. I’m literally writing this review because of how much I love their chili oil❤️“

“We have come here for many years. It been awhile since we came back. We like their new menu looks like it been recently updated. We ordered our usual of: -Vietnamese Sweet & Sour Catfish Soup -Catfish in Clay Pot/Stew -Rice Today we also tried: -Crispy Oysters -Salted Fish Fried Rice -Three Color Dessert -Thai Dessert It wasn't too busy today, we got a table right away for a family of our. The servers were nice and friendly. Our desserts were bought out first, and soon after the main dishes. Our usual dishes is the tasty as usual. Our favorite as a family is the fried oysters. Our young kids liked it best with the sweet sauce (not spicy). The sizing of the oysters are large and it tasted excellent. Overall, it was a wonderful dining night with the whole family. We will be back as usual! We highly recommend this place! They got some of the dishes we love that keeps us coming back for more!“

“Just had a bowl of noodles (pork and eggplant) and a beer but they were rich and delicious. Needed some food after getting in late and they delivered. The attention to detail of including some finely sliced cilantro stems for freshness, pretty legit!“

“We found this hidden gem while in the area and decided to give it a try. We came in around 4:30 PM and had the place to ourselves. We ordered five dishes, Chicken Fried Rice, Black Pepper Short Ribs, Mongolian Chicken, and a garlic vegetable dish and a small wonton soup. Everything was flavorful and cooked well, not too greasy, except the short ribs which was just a tad oily.

The food was excellent overall, fresh and full of flavor. We’ll definitely come back when we’re in the area again. I’m giving it 4.5 stars, taking a half point off for the location and atmosphere. The area looks a bit dated and the interior could use some updating, but that doesn’t take away from the quality of the food or the friendly service.

If you care more about great food than fancy decor, this place is worth checking out.“

“I dare say that this is the best Cantonese restaurant in Seattle. Very hole in the wall style, family owned and there are only Chinese people dining in. The litmus test is bao zai fan and it was delicious! Everything on the menu is straight from Guangdong, as well as some American-geared takeout options. Only con is that it’s so far south but it makes the trips here worth it.

My mom found it on xhs and I’m glad she showed me!“

“Great food and customer service“

“There aren’t a lot of great dumpling places back home, so we loved getting to try so many different delicious options here! I’d never had soup dumplings before, but I loved them. They were probably one of the highlights of the trip for my partner!“

“this place isn't underrated... it's not even talked about or discussed enough among foodies. This place is a hidden gem of the foodie community. I've been coming here for a few years now and consistently juicy cuts and flavor never disappoints.
The crispy pork is a much thinner skin than most chinese bbq spots but it's very flavorful and because of the thinner skin, the crisp, crisps more.
The roast duck is one of my favorites, the bigger pieces is just dripping with flavor in every bite. the skinner pieces still has great flavor but no meat and all bones.
The soya sauce chicken is extra juicy as well - personal preference I want a deeper soy flavor but over all still delicious.
And the BBQ pork is juicy and flavorful as well.

The lunch plates range from $12 - 16 depending on how many cuts you want - they aren't HEAPING portions but a very healthy and filling portion for one person to eat. Just to be able to not have to drive to Chinatown in Seattle or Tacoma for chinese bbq makes this place worth all the hype and a great reason to visit.“

“Don’t think twice about dining at Young’s! Food incredible and comforting. The service is wonderful and quick. Ample street parking. Enjoy some classic breakfast favorites and come in to meet your new favorite fried rice - there are no wrong answers on this menu! Check out this White Center staple.“

“Better than Din Tai Fung.
Sorry, it’s the truth. Not that I don’t love DTF, but these guys know dumplings, and noodles, and everything in between!
Any pan-fried dumpling dish is a MUST, and they also do green beans!
And the staff is super nice.
Everything is made in house and it’s always piping hot!“

“Great food and drinks with a nice view without breaking the bank.“

“service was very extremely welcoming and prompt. My first time here and I was craving Chinese food - I Ordered takeout which was promptly delivered hot in compostable and biodegradable takeout containers. No chopsticks or napkins offered. I ordered the egg rolls and prawn dumplings. I thought my appetizers lacked flavor; I couldn’t taste any prawns or the pork. I was so sad, but I would go back and try something else one more time….“

“One of my preferred locations for delicious Chinese food. I wanted to post a food pic but it looked so good I couldn't stop. Definitely worth a return trip. Prices were average for the menu. Food is like a restaurant in Louisville I loved.“

“We scanned the QR code and ordered from our phone. Not a fan of putting wait staff out of jobs. The staff there was attentive and came by to answer questions. A way to sort dishes by spice level would have been helpful cause that was a filter for us but when we asked they said they could make it any spice level we wanted in the comments. They did have a sort for their. OST popular dishes which was helpful “not to miss” category which the staff pointed us to. The restaurant was clean and the bathroom I visited was clean except there was urine on the floor from someone with poor aim recently (we got there when they opened). We had the beef and green beans, cumin pork and chicken fried rice. The cumin pork has great flavor and was my favorite however the pork was in small bone pieces and fatty so you had to be careful and have strong teeth (to tear) to eat the dish IMHO. It was well done, dry and definitely crunchy. It would have been good to have a sauce to get more moisture in the dish. I found it best to use my fingers to eat the pork. The beans and beef was perfectly cooked and beef strips and very tender - not fatty. There was a sauce in the dish but it didn’t have that much flavor but when mixed with the rice and pork helped to moisturize the drier dishes. The chicken fried rice was average and didn’t have much special flavor. We were looking for dishes that weren’t too spicy and we got that so my review reflects our desire to keep the heat low. Service was very fast and attentive, but wasn’t too busy either. Overall a pleasant experience and I felt good value cause we ordered 3 dishes, left full and with some leftovers. I would visit again.“

“I ordered takeout from here and all of the food was so delicious. I ordered the three shredded fried noodles, general tso’s chicken, dry fried green beans, cucumber salad with woodear mushroom. I was so happy to taste the spice! It’s a numbing almost sichuan style spice in the green beans, cucumber salad, and general tso’s chicken! Will definitely be coming back again :)“

“The food is spectacular here! I came for my Birthday and was BLOWN AWAY. New favorite Chinese spot. 12 out of 10!“

“The service is absolutely terrible. I would give it a negative 10 if I could. I bought two steamed buns which can perfectly fit into a paper bag. The staff put them in a plastic box without asking me so she can charge me the box fee. I told her I do not need a box and please put them in a paper bag. The staff yelled at me "Don't ever come back again!!!" It is like robbery in plain day light. They force you to purchase the plastic box you do not need. I noticed they used to have plastic plates for dining ins, but now they got rid of all the plastic plates so customers who eat in have no option but to buy their plastic boxes. This is forced sale. How Sneaky! The staff are always yelling at you and extremely rude. They are incapble of speaking normally. Definitely avoid this place.“

“My second time going to Dough Zone, the other one I went to was in Bellevue. Pretty decent selections, I’m not huge on the noodle dishes personally, like the beef and sesame one. The Chicken Dumplings and Pan-Fried Wontons were the best, so I totally recommend those.“

“I have been going here for many years the owners may have changed along with now more sitting inside available and the food is still awsome i get a whole rack of the ribs when I am in the neighborhood I go in usually when I am on my way back to my job shop I will continue to go there as long as they are in business“

“Best I can tell it’s a place for Vietnamese uncles to hang out. They have coffee, but I didn’t see a menu anywhere for other options.

The ca phe sua da is realllyyyy good though, honestly better than most places here.

Also it smells heavily of cigarette smoke, so if you bothers you you might not like it.“

“Great services reasonable prices“

“Customer Service, a great selection of food, the casual layback atmostphere, enjoy the food, don’t rush. Have a good wine selection so step outside of the box and try a wine you never had before, the waiter can suggest. The prices are good, but remember the serving are large, you will not leave empty. This is a must place to go, you will enjoy it, and will come back.“

“Teriyaki is adequately portioned
Meat is tender, juicy and flavorful, prices fair for the quality, eating in service also offers complimentary tea, only issue of service is occasional miscommunication over the phone other wise excellent.“

“Solid roasted pork underbelly for 6pm. It was surprisingly crunchy so late in the day.

It came with a corn-carrot based soup and cabbage stirred fried in a meat juice. I think I paid $15 for two meats. It’s only takeout so I just walked to the park a block away to consume. It is not the best but it’s super enjoyable so…5-star.“

“Delicious!!! We come back again and agsin“

“Lucky house will always and consistently be a place where food is unmatched!!! Every-time I go it’s the amazing food from the dim sum to the sesame chicken!! And the garlic string beans are incredible!!! Would recommend to anyone who is looking for Great food“

“This is a very casual spot with a counter to eat at and outdoor dining at Pike Place Market. You order and pay on an electronic menu near the door. I had the Pork Bahn Mi. OMG! It was the best I ever had! The pork was perfectly seasoned and tender, it had just the right amount of delicious pate, the carrots and daikon were perfectly pickled, it had just the right amount of mayo, chili pepper and cilantro and the French bread, neatly melded with its contents, lended the perfect amount of crispy chewy delight. The perfectly balanced flavors still haunt my mouth. My ratings explained; damn good, excellent sandwich seemingly made with love, sincere staff, countertop and outdoor dining. It’s not 5 star service or 5 star atmosphere, but it doesn’t need to be.“

“We discovered this place a few months ago after searching for Chinese food by my mother in laws place. Little did we know that this Chinese restaurant that you wouldn’t noticed since it’s tucked in a corner of a strip mall ,was the best place for amazing dine in and take out Chinese food. Prices are good and the staff is always helpful and nice. Shout out to the lady we see all the time at the front and always serves us. It’s nice to be a regular now, greeted with joy and happiness with delicious food. Glad we found this place thank you“

“Despite being totally slammed during their first week open, this place didn’t disappoint. My takeout order was ready right on time and was just as tasty as I remembered it. Can’t beat the orange chicken! And its pretty reasonably priced too. Glad to have this place in the neighborhood.“
