Cantonese Restaurants near Des Moines, WA

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

“We have driven by here often but didn't know it was a Chinese restaurant until we were online considering new Auburn restaurants. In the autumn darkness it's hard to tell it's not just a bubble tea place like a few other reviewers stated. We regret not coming sooner.

From the first bite the food stood out as lovingly prepared, with harmonious flavors and delicate textures. Not your average strip mall family Chinese place, this would be a good place to impress a date or a business client. We got takeout but the restaurant is remarkably clean, beautifully appointed and cozy if not small.

Some reviewers commented on the limited and unfriendly staff - I didn't get an unwelcome vibe from either the proprietor or her son, but she also didn't give off the strong hospitality vibe some Americans might expect. Small smile, few words. I don't think she means to be unfriendly.

Overall I was very impressed with the food and the venue and was quite disappointed to see it completely empty at 6:30 on a Friday night. Please come try some dim sum or rice dishes, you will not be disappointed!“

“Yum yum cafe is at the edge of Seattle. There are few parking in front of the restaurant. We didn’t make any reservation, just walk-in. Luckily, we immediately had a seat without waiting.

The food is good. I will recommend Chicken with scallions and soy sauce, and rice stone pot, and the tofu soup. They are tasty!“

“Outstanding Cantonese food! We would never have known about this place had it not been recommended to us. Very unassuming from the outside - don't let that fool you! It's very spacious inside, very simple decor, but the food - oh, man, the food is unbelievable. Every single dish we tried was amazing. Service was extremely efficient and friendly. And you know it's a great place when most of the patrons are Chinese. I will definitely go back for more!“

“I come here at least once a week. The meats are so delicious. Everyone of them. My favorite is the scallion chicken. So much flavor. If you have plans for Thursday, cancel them and go get some of their golden pig. Best you'll ever have. Customer service is too notch. Everyone very pleasant. I'd give it a 15 or if 10. Just go try it!!!!!!“

“Amazing food, fantastic customer service ! highly recommend“

“Awesome food and most excellent service! Best Chinese restaurant in Kent!!! 👍 5/5 stars for sure!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I had the lunch special sweet and sour chicken with rice and egg drop soup as well as a Thai iced tea. The chicken was very dry but otherwise tasty, like it was made earlier this morning and kept in a warmer. Not a deal breaker! I loved the egg drop soup, really good flavor. Nice staff, good price for the portions. Overall 4 stars, would eat there again!“

“This is the most underrated Cantonese restaurant I've been to. I'm from the Bay Area and my friends recommended here during my staying in Seattle and the experience was wonderful. The eel claypot rice was so good that I felt shame not eating it all. Please, try the eel claypot rice when you get a chance. In Chinese it is written 黃鱔煲仔飯/黄鳝煲仔饭.“

“Great customer service great great food I'm from Philadelphia I'm a truck driver it was very hard to get a good old school egg fu young without it being all greasy this was the best Chinese food I've had in ages every time I come back to my terminal I will be stopping past to enjoy some of the other dishes season very well excellent service friendly staff clean environment shrimp fried rice was exquisite big plump pieces of chicken wings not the little itty bitty drumettes“

“Why this restaurant gets such low review score? It is a really authentic one for Chinese food, especially the soup. Their service is excellent as well. They help with getting food into the to-go box, which is now rarely seen in Chinese restaurants service, no matter Seattle or the bay area. Price is also very reasonable. They deserve at least four stars. Since it’s now underscored a lot, I am giving it five stars.“

“Delicious food, reasonable prices, very fast service, attentive and kind server. Adorable decorations!
