50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Burien

“nice ambience...Affordable and tasty..😊“

“Best Chinese food in Burien.“

“Really good general tso chicken! The lunch special comes with egg flower soup, a spring roll with sweet and sour sauce, and you can upgrade to pork fried rice instead of white rice for free! And it's all fantastic. My girlfriend also loves the won ton soup! We both love coming here.“

“The worker that helped me was Masaum I hope I spelled that correctly but I want to give an attaboy to him he was amazing very fast very helpful so whoever reads these make sure you go out of your way to give him the credit he deserves for the effort he's putting in Thank you“

“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!!“

“My husband introduced me to Tai Tung shortly after we were married 60 years ago. My sons grew up eating there and much later my granddaughter did too. The food is exquisite, especially shrimp in crab sauce, the service is impeccable and the ambiance is kind of old fashioned and comfortable. In fact, Tai Tung is and always has been virtually the best restaurant in Seattle.“

“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!“

“YGF MalaTang Southcenter was a great find! I loved being able to pick my own ingredients and customize my bowl. The food was delicious, the portions were good, and the whole meal was really satisfying. Service was friendly and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try!“

“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.“

“Youngs place was great,- the food was amazing the staff was as if I was invited to there home.. I'd like to thank the girl for the invitation and look forward to having dinner there at least once a week..😎 (Yes it was really that good)“

“This is a hole-in-the-wall type of place in Chinatown, which, in my experience, is usually the best. Gan Beo didn't disappoint. The place is just big enough for a bar and a few tables, with the kitchen in the back. The atmosphere is friendly and cozy. The bartender/hostess was very friendly and helpful. We just ordered a couple of simple dishes to go - ong choy (a.k.a. morning glory) in garlic sauce (ong choy is pretty hard to find) and fried tofu. The food was great. I'm sure they would have been even better if we ate there. Will definitely be back.“

“My husband has been talking about this place for the longest time, so we finally decided to give it a try today. We picked everything up and brought it home, and honestly, I’m so glad we finally did!

My husband is from Macau and is pretty particular about Cantonese food, so he was the one who kept telling me we had to try this place. And he was absolutely right — everything was so delicious and tasted really authentic, even as takeout.

We’ve been living in Seattle for over a year, but with all the craziness of moving and getting settled, we somehow kept putting it off. Now I’m honestly wondering why we didn’t come sooner!

Definitely some of the best Cantonese food we’ve had since moving to Seattle. We’ll absolutely be ordering from here again! ❤“

“This place was awesome!
We had a work photoshoot down the street and placed a massive order. The entire order was correct, the food was fantastic, and they had vegan and vegetarian options for our needs as well. The salt and pepper tofu was some of the best tofu I've ever had, and I also personally got the curry dish which was delightful.“

“This was a great little place if you want to try several different items but you don’t want to waste food. It’s kind of like a tapas bar. They give you a menu and a card that you fill out with plates you want to try, then they start bringing the plates over. If you want to add more, you can. Or they can close out your ticket when you are done. I was craving Asian food, and this was close to the waterfront, so I didn’t have to drive to Chinatown. I would come back here.“

“I like that this place gives you an order sheet to customize your meal. I ordered a congee bowl with century egg and pork, along with steamed tripe. The congee had a clean, mild flavor—a little bland for my taste, but soy sauce, chili oil, and ground pepper were available to season it to my liking.“

“Excellent food, every time.“

“Comfort food to the max! Quick service and large portions. Love the fried dough. Do fresh and I could eat 10 of those drowned in the congee myself. The wontons are delicious too. Wish the tables are a little bit more cleaner and less sticky“

“AMAZING! Huge lamb and beef ring plate was fun to eat from. Sesame balls were good, Szechuan cucumbers were very spicy, complimentary soft serve ice cream is my favorite icy, bad quality texture I strangely love. Medium hot was too spicy for me, I liked the Chinese herb with no spice.“

“Absolute hidden gem for Chinese BBQ! Got a mix of the char siu BBQ pork, chicken, and pork ribs, and everything was packed with flavor, tender, and cooked to perfection. The portions are generous and the meat is juicy. Will definitely be coming back for more!

Why did I just discover this place!!!!!!“

“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!“

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

“As a Cantonese person, this place hits closest to home. Probably the most authentic Cantonese restaurant in Seattle. Prices are reasonable given the quality of the food. Service is not the fastest at busy hours, but that’s to be expected.“

“We were kinda skeptical to come in at first, but once we entered the restaurant it was sooo cute and cozy. Food servings is good. We loved every dish! They only had one server but he really did such a great job attending to us. Our new favorite chinese restaurant!“

“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.“

“I had an amazing experience here.

Location: Super convenient, close to the CID Light Rail station 🚈.

🍉: The juice was made fresh, I watched them pull the watermelon out of the fridge.

🧄 🎣🦐: Everything about this dish was delicious. Everything was fresh, the shrimp were sweet, the fish maintained its crispiness, the glass noodles held up well to the broth and heat. I asked for a bowl 🥣 I wanted the broth and it did not disappoint, the broth was almost more tasty than the individual ingredients.

The staff were super friendly and very helpful. My food came out faster than I expected, which wasn't required, but it was nice.

I'd highly recommend coming in for an amazing meal 😊“

“food was incredible! we order the spicy chicken and it was too spicy for us so we asked the waiter if we can order another non spicy dish and it was near closing time. Not only were they really nice about it and let us order even though it means they work overtime but they also gave us a refund since we weren’t able to eat the spicy chicken. Absolutely incredible staff the chef came up personally to apologize. Must try spot with great food and staff.“

“Just wanted to shout out to you guys. My partner had a medical emergency and the staff here really went above and beyond.
My partner has been going through some prior health concerns.
Once we were home everything reheated to perfection. The food was delicious.“

“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.“

“Update: I am sad to say that because of the huge changes made to the menu by the new owner, I have to take a star away from my rating. The food has become under seasoned and sometimes the execution is poor. The quality is now inconsistent but broadly underwhelming, with old signature dishes having been removed or turned into something unrecognizable. It is nowhere near where it was three years ago when the founder ran the restaurant. I hope that they reconsider a lot of these changes so I can give the star back.

Not just the best Chinese food in the Pierce/King county area, but the best food. My wife is a Chinese expat and this is pure comfort food for her. Their food is authentic Chinese, the way I remember it from my time there in Henan, and on top of that, it's relatively cheap.

You know it's real Chinese when it's fresh, delicious, healthy, and reasonably priced. We drive all the way from Tacoma to come here every time, at least twice a month. It's worth the trip not just because the food is so good, but also because the location is great -- we can do our shopping at Ranch 99 for cool Asian import groceries and other comforts from back home.

On top of all this, the service is warm, sincere, and efficient. My favorite place to eat, period.“

“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….“

“Perfect spot to drop by for a reliable meal. The Pan Fried Wontons with Chili Sauce delivered a great crunch and a good level of savory, subtle heat. Efficient, no-frills service that gets you in and out quickly without any unnecessary fuss. Consistent quality that makes it a great staple for a casual dumpling craving.“

“I've had a lot of different poke bowls throughout the south end and I now only go to Green Valley Hanapa'a Poke!! So ONO!! Fish is always fresh & tasty, Mellissa does a wicked Salt & Pepper Chicken (and fish).“

“Great food and customer service“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants for modern pan Asian cuisine - such a great date spot or place for an intimate meal.

We come here for the DRAMA that is the Peking duck, but stay for the lamb dishes, fun cocktails, and great service. Shoutout to our favorite maitre d, Aaron, for being so attentive and always helping us make our family celebrations feel so special!“

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

“If you like spicy, textured sushi rolls, you definitely have to order The H3 Roll ($19.99) at Appa Sushi & Bento Teriyaki!

Inside, it’s packed with spicy tuna, spicy salmon, spicy yellowtail, and crunchy cucumber, then topped with creamy avocado, spicy mayo, and eel sauce. What makes this roll stand out is the four different types of tobiko (flying fish roe) on top. They add a salty, satisfying pop of texture that brings the whole roll together.
The fun part is that each tobiko color actually brings a unique, subtle flavor profile:

Red: Beet
Yellow: Yuzu/Citrus
Green: Wasabi
Black: Squid Ink

Don't let the exotic details intimidate you—the flavors are balanced and complement the roll perfectly. It's super filling, gorgeous to look at, and worth every penny. Highly recommend giving this a try if you enjoy fresh fish with a bit of a kick!“

“We left another location and came here! We know Kent Dough Zone is best service, best location, BEST FOOD!

They took us last minute with only 25 min till close.
The servers were very polite and accommodating (even though it was basically closing time)
I came in with 3 teenagers

We had two spicy mala noodles, two dan dan noodles, two orders sweet and spicy garlic chili pan fried chicken wontons, and hot & sour chicken wontons, oh and a green onion pancake.

Everything was so good as always and they even gave complimentary pork and crab soup dumplings.which reminds me
We also ordered the chicken xio long bao (chicken soup dumps)

Such a great place
All that under $80

Best place ever
Thank you so much

Didn’t get photos cause we ate as soon as they brought it out lol“

“Had the jjamjjamyun and husband had the jjajangmyun and sweet & sour pork combo. Food was not overly seasoned and just the right amount of spiciness in the soup. The pork is made with sweet rice flour, so it gives it more of a chewy texture which is a nice change. We went in between lunch and dinner time, so it was nice and quiet. The staff was so friendly and nice, while being very prompt. I'll definitely be back!“

“Pretty solid for it’s price as an AYCE hot pot place. Lamb and beef slices are very thin which is pretty good. They do not have enough vege options- dabaicai, tonghao, and broccoli were the only green leafy vegetables available when we were there. Appetizers wise the fries chicken wings are surprisingly good tho.“

“This was a really pleasant surprise. The dumplings are handmade and cooked to order, and you can actually see them constantly making them, so the wait makes a lot more sense once you understand the process. Everything we tried had really good flavor and all of us walked away impressed. The downside is that another order can mean another significant wait, and we didn't have another 30+ minutes to spare. It's in busy Pike Place Market with limited space around the counter, so don't expect a traditional sit-down restaurant experience. Still, if you like fresh handmade dumplings and have a little patience, this is definitely worth trying.“

“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“

“YUM YUM Teriyaki is one of those hidden gems you end up going back to again and again. It’s my go-to, last-minute spot — consistently fast, fresh, and satisfying every time. The portions are solid, the flavors are exactly what you expect from great teriyaki, and it never disappoints when you need a reliable meal on the fly.

What really stands out is consistency — whether it’s a quick lunch or late-day pickup, the quality stays the same. It’s the kind of place you don’t have to think twice about.

Easily a 5/5 for convenience, value, and dependable comfort food.“

“Amazing homestyle Korean food with awesome value, I was super happy and the lady at the front was very very nice 🥰
Get the tofu stew and bulgogi combo it’s awesome! I’ve had the jajangmeon and that hit the spot 😎“

“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“

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

“Foo Lam has some of the most authentic Chinese meals in all of Seattle. It is well worth the trip no matter what side of town you are on. Their Dim Sum, their steamed/fried Shrimp and other meatballs, Congee, and assortment of Chinese eats are top notch. Their cleanliness could definitely be much improved, and their to go service sometimes is questionable as far as them giving you sufficient materials- but from a pure food standpoint the cook and staff are great. And for a quick snack, they have great Spicy, Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings.“

“This was the first time I went to chowking and was highly recommended by my mom who loves it! We ordered siopao, shrimp and rice bowl, beef &broccoli, halo-halo, thai tea, & wonton soup. It was delicious we kept ordering more food and drinks.“

“A SUCCULENT CHINESE MEAL! Egg rolls were a little unimpressive, but crisp and decent. General tso and Mongolian beef were amazing. Usually you get chicken that half breading but these were just lightly coated so you got genuine chunks of chicken. 100% will be back.“

“I'm sorry to give only 3 stars but wontons in shrimp wonton soup had tails still on some of the shrimp in the wontons. I hope this was an accident and not the way they are supposed to be made. But being unfamiliar with shrimp wonton, maybe thats the correct way. Sorry, but I didn't like it with the tails still on the shrimp.“
