“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.“

“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!“

“As a Hongkonger, I’ve tried multiple Hong Kong cha chaan tengs in the Seattle area, and I think I finally found my favorite one!

I ordered the mixed sauce rice roll and the tomato sauce pork chop rice. I devoured the rice roll so quickly that I didn’t even take pictures, but I did take several pictures of the pork chop rice because it looked glorious 😋

The pork chop was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and nicely fried. The generous egg fried rice underneath was golden and aromatic 🤤 The portion was so gigantic , it is big enough for me to eat for three meals.

The decor inside is beautiful, the staff are friendly, and the atmosphere feels welcoming. Harmony Palace deserves a proper shout out!!“

“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.“

“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)“

“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!“

“i haven’t had hot pot before and this was a great first experience! the staff was very accommodating of veganism. there is a few broth options, and MANY vegetable, noodle, tofu, and mushroom options for the hot pot. i got the tomato broth with potatoes, enoki mushrooms, tofu skins, and sweet potato noodles. the broth was very flavorful, and all the add-ins we picked were delicious. i recommend here for a fun hot pot experience.

“So this is pretty much my favourite ramen in the U.S. This is the first restaurant I ate at in Seattle in over ten years ago and it has never disappointed me. The broth is rich but also simple. The textures are just right. I’m a huge fan overall.“

“This place is only take out, very bare bones inside but the food is DELICIOUS! I had the roast pork and char siu pork were excellent. I also ordered the beef chow fun noodles and it was delicious as well. With very wide noodles. It was made fresh“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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….“

“Excellent food, every time.“

“We ordered a few items tonight and they were delicious, the chicken chow mein, the sautéed udon noodles, and the giant prawn fried rice. All amazing! My son also had the fried dumplings and spring rolls. He really enjoyed them as well. We were all happy and full. Everything was delicious, we had plenty left over, would definitely visit again.“

“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 😊“

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

“Came off a cruise ship vacation & myself lf & my wife wanted to experience Seattle for a short time yesterday bc we had a late night flight home.

As we were exploring we were looking for a place to have lunch & so we happened to walk by Vivienne’s Bistro II. Decided to go in & try the place out. This turned out to be a great choice. We ordered the Lobster Rangoon appetizer, my wife ordered the Broccoli with chicken & I ordered the General Tao’s Chicken. The food & service were extremely good. We highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Asian cuisine.“

“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.“

“Ordered takeout from Happy Noodles and was genuinely blown away by how authentic the food is. As a Chinese person, I'm usually pretty picky about Chinese food, and seeing the restaurant packed with Chinese patrons was already a good sign.

I ordered the Intestines Vermicelli, and it was outstanding—spicy, deeply umami, and incredibly generous with the protein. Every bite was packed with flavor.

What really stood out was the hospitality. The lady boss was exceptionally kind and even offered to refill my water bottle and give me extra rice, despite me only ordering takeout.“

“I got the duck and BBQ pork lunch combo. First, the sauce they put on it is fabulous. The pork was actually my favorite. I’d never had Chinese BBQ duck before and it’s a little too fatty for me. The cabbage that comes with is very flavorful but it was cold. Maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be but it just surprised me.
There is extremely limited indoor seating. I’m talking 4 or 5 tables. And they serve everything in to-go containers.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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).“

“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.“

“Great little dumpling shop tucked inside Pike Place Market. We saw a line and decided to try it — glad we did. The dumplings came out hot, fresh, and flavorful. Easy ordering, friendly vibe, and perfect for a quick bite while walking around the market. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Seattle.“

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

“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“

“Great food and customer service“

“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 😎“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“If I could put one more star on service I would put two because that was the fastest and most enjoyable meal you could have, manager was very nice, gave us on the house appitizer, came to our table and talked to us even. Very enjoyable would go back if I could.“

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

“I order from here at least two times a month and it’s always the best. Great price and the food is always consistent I usually get one of the dinner specials my favorite is the string bean chicken entree but all of them have been great. If you want great Chinese food this is definitely the spot to go.“

“I’ve been coming here for over a decade and it’s about time I leave a review.
They serve the best pho. I have tried many other places in Seattle and none can compete. The service is outstanding. I’m treated with so much love and respect here. Everyone is so kind and positive! There’s no need for me to find a better pho place because I’ve found it. They also serve other delicious entrees but pho is just my go to. The stir fried shrimp noodle is good and so is their stir fried rice!!
I definitely recommend coming here!“

“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.“
