50 Best Chinese Restaurants near 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.“

“Best Chinese food in Burien.“

“Soy free Asian food is hard to come by. Most of the restaurants in my area have limited options of soy free. Mooshu typically has soy but they made it. And it was delicious
Also gailan with garlic sauce, but no soy, was also very good.“

“Drive thru can be hectic so I always prefer to go inside when I want Panda Express. They always pour the new food in the front (so people can see how steamy and fresh it is) but they always grab food from the back (FIFO) I get it. But I always ask them to grab food from the front when I see there’s a new fresh order. It’s a trick I learned when I worked there and it’s something people should consider if they don’t want soggy/ cold food! ;)“

“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!!“

“Ate 🔥 food here on a 🔥 day! This place was great! We ordered the beef noodle soup, miso hot pot, and custard buns - all of which came with a pickled cucumber appetizer. It was delicious! The person working was also super friendly and nice. Bonus points for really competitive prices! We'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!“

“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.“

“Cute little spot thats been recently remodeled. Clean, welcoming and family-run. Food is Americanized Chinese and delicious. Everything is made from scratch and taste so fresh. My favorites are hot and sour soup, Mongolian beef and Sweet and Sour Chicken. We come back at least monthly. So so good!“

“Exceptional service all around. The hostess was very kind and even gave us some extra dishes on the house. Food was delicious and portions sizes were quite large, their dim sum had tons of shrimp and meat. Were from out of state, so unfortunately won't be able to be regulars.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came in for lunch to a modest looking family owned establishment. Greeted by nice lady at the counter where we ordered some poke. Friendly service, seems like a small family operation with maybe two people running front and back. The meal came out when it came out but we weren’t at all in hurry. Generous portions and quality of fish surprised me for being all the way out in Kent. Looking forward to definitely come back again.“

“First time eating here.

The dumplings and spicy noodle with beef & brisket , meatballs was good portion and lots of flavor!

The menu is easy to order and lots of options you can customize your own bowl of noodles. Pick from toppings, soup , and sides.

Best noodle place I had in while !“

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

“Small mom and pop restaurant with wonderful, homestyle Chinese food. The first thing you’ll notice when you step inside is that there are a lot of regulars here. It’s a wonderful and chill community spot, plus they have karaoke every Thursday night.

I recommend these dishes:
* Clay pot rice - usually a 20 min wait but so worth it
* Chicken and gravy - crispy and delicious
* Hong Kong milk tea
* Money’s chili crisp - you can also request it on the side with your meal or you can buy a jar! My favorite locally made chili crisp.“

“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 :)“

“This is the best Cantonese BBQ in Seattle. If you ever find yourself heading to Uwajimaya or the rest of the ID on Mon-Sat and you want roast pork, do yourself a favor and head here instead. For a cheaper price you can get fresh roast pork that is to die for. Well marinated, crunchy, and juicy. The dry beef chow fun is also a staple and is always cooked hot to order. I've ordered from here many many times and never been disappointed.

P.S.: If you want roast chicken you might want to call in ahead. It's very popular.“

“The food was great. Everything was freshly made and a very good selection. We will come back.

Only thing odd, we were the only ones in the place for lunch and our server sat at the table next to us for his lunch and he was watching something on his phone with out earbuds, so we had to listen to his content over our conversation. Manners matter.“

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

“Good food affordable and friendly staff …“

“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!“

“The food does not disappoint! I’ve had lots of roast duck and char siu and this was probably best char siu I’ve had in a while. It’s not dyed red (which I’m actually okay with), moist, and so so flavourful. If they offer more duck sauce, take it! lol Looks mostly like a takeout place, but there a few clean tables and chairs to dine in, which we did. It all looked so good I didn’t even take a pic beforehand !“

“Good traditional Cantonese cuisine. It is tasty and we like all of our dishes. Restaurant is not big but no need to be. Services is great and we recommend their vegetables dishes. If you in the area, give this place a try. I glad we did.“

“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!“

“I've been chasing the taste of the Xiao long bao I used to get in Manhattan since I moved here in 2013. So far this is the place that has come closest.
Everything was absolutely delicious, service was speedy, and on top of all that it was cheap! Don't let the ambiance fool you, this place is a gem.“

“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.“

“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….“

“Although hot pot is known for their meats, Chengdu Memory is incredibly accommodating for vegans. All the soups have a meat base, including the mushroom, BUT you can request it with a water base instead. Additionally, waiters will double check and ask you if you have any dietary restrictions ALONG with the menu having a dietary restriction option! I’d recommend Chengdu because of how helpful the staff are and the abundance of tofu and veggie options. You can also eat with your Omni friends since they can give you split broths!

“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.“

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

“OMG this food was the absolute best no complaints on the food. broth was delicious. the flavor on each of the beef and chicken plates was to die for omg. go here you won’t regret it. and i’m from houston so i feel like my review is valid lol.

we got:
-beef brisket with dumpling
-general tso’s chicken
-sesame chicken
-mongolian beef

one thing did happen though, my sister’s meal took way too long compared to everyone else’s at the table. people who came after us got their meal before hers. i understand it was probably a mess up/mistake.“

“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“

“I drove in after work out of curiosity. Consider both my curiosity and my appetite absolutely satisfied. I will be eating here again and bringing my wife next time. Very friendly, large portions, food was pretty fast, and good for the price.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Went in at 2pm on a Wednesday. Not too busy. Ordered general chicken & shrimp yakisoba plus some gyozas. Food came out fast and hot. Flavorful and delicious. Place is small and outdated but don't make that stop you from trying it out.“

“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“

“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.“

“This bowl of wonton noodles was such a pleasant surprise! The broth is light yet flavorful, with a subtle bone aroma that keeps you coming back for more. The wontons are plump and tender, with perfectly seasoned filling that melts in your mouth. The noodles are springy and not overcooked, adding a satisfying chew. Topped with scallions, fresh greens, and a splash of chili oil, the flavors are elevated without being overpowering. Everything is well-balanced, making it a warm, comforting, and fulfilling bowl of classic Chinese goodness. Definitely worth trying!“

“Been going here for years. Dine-in or take-out, they have never disappointed at all with their authentic Szechuan food. Some of the poor reviews they received, I just don’t get it. This restaurant is a hidden gem if you care more about the substance over form.“
