First time eating here. We had the meal B on the back of the menu. I had the almond chicken and my husband had the broccoli beef. If I could have given the food a 0 star I would have. My almond chicken came like flattened out in two thin long strips with batter and covered in a sauce. I have never seen it prepared this way before. I am uses to small chunks of chicken, nuts, and vegetables. I tried the sauce, I cannot describe the taste but I did not like it. Same thing when I tried it no breading or sauce. I honestly could only choke back the one bite of each. The fried rice that came on the plate was so dry it and had a hard time eating that as well. My husband liked the broccoli that came in his beef, but honestly had to run to the bathroom twice because the food made him sick. He did like the noodle soup and the wontons though. At the end we just asked them to package up the rest. We felt bad we really didn't like it, but with our bill being $72, maybe we can find a homeless person to give it to, who knows, they might like it...but it definitely was not for us.
Staff was nice though.

I've been coming to Wah Kue for 50 years, I quit when new owners took over, food was bad. But these new owners have the food back to the way it used to be. Love the chow main and everything else. Missed this for a long time, glad they restored it.

This is place literally had the best fried rice in Seattle !! But now it doesn’t taste like anything, Is super sticky and it barely has anything else besides rice !!! I really hope they fix it back to how it use to be !!!

Excellent food! My go-to spot for takeout. It is a little expensive but that's just because it's high quality and high quantity.

Have had this place once or twice but this will be the last time. Got the chefs special chow mein and it was a gelatinous mess. Inedible. The fried rice was fine but the chow mein was so bad we wasted over $20.
The Best old school Chinese food I've eaten since Perry Ko's 😉
Been going there for 45 years now....
We’ve been ordering the same to-go meal (No.1 plate) on News Years Eve for over 40 years. The quality and consistency has not changed even with new owners. If you want traditional American Chinese food this is your place.
The food is amazing and the staff are wonderful. Great drinks in the bar and Judy is awesome!
