50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Kenmore

“They’re closing their doors tonight after 45 years . I’ve been going their for 42 years . My parents loved the food there . Fabulous food and I’m sad to see them go .“

“Great food and quick service.“

“Great place for quick bites with a lot of options. They have self order booths with photos so its easy to order too.

We ordered a duck jianbing and didn’t expect much but overall I would say this is an easy 8-8.5/10. Outer layer is soft, very eggy serves with the shredded duck inside and the crispy fried stick. They also spreaded a chili sauce inside. So savory and have a good kick.

Great food, great price, great portion - I would go back :)“

“The service was great . I liked the fish items .“

“There's this unexpected gem, you MUST try, in the U-District! It's the Red Pepper Chinese Cuisine! They are this great clean and fairly fast restaurant, that serves up hearty and delicious meals! Most of their entrées serve 2 or more people (almost family style), so bring your appetite!!! We had their Dry Pot dish, where you can choose 5 mix and match ingredients, on their menu. A Stir-Fried Noodle, with Chicken and a Deep Fried Chicken Soft Bone, with RED PEPPER! 😉🔥🌶 Everything was super delicious and filling!!! It looks like they have great lunch specials too, so go check them out and lmk what you try! Cheers!“

“Reliably good Szechuan food right on the Ave. Don't miss the string beans or hot oil noodles. Nom.“

“The food tastes great! It has a fairly authentic flavor reminiscent of ones from china. My only complaint is a minor nitpick is that the store's space isn't the biggest but i didnt find seating an issue over all i would recommend giving it a try!“

“Friendly staff and clean space. I was in the mood for noodles and the beef noodle was fantastic! Broth was great and it was filling! So good and honestly taste better then some bigger more expensive names... Like din tai...

I was eyeing dumplings but she told me that would definitely be too much food for just me. Lol! She was right. Appreciate the honesty. I still got the BBQ steam bunds to go and they were good!

I'll be back!“

“Exceptional Group Dining Experience at Asian Kitchen!

We recently ordered a large group meal from Asian Kitchen in Shoreline, and the entire experience was outstanding. The ordering process was smooth and efficient, with staff who were friendly, responsive, and incredibly accommodating to our dietary preferences and portion needs.

The food arrived fresh, beautifully packaged, and bursting with flavor. Every dish—from the savory beef chow fun to the perfectly crisp walnut shrimp—was a hit with our group. The variety was impressive, and the quality was consistent across the board. Even the tofu dish had layers of texture and seasoning that surprised and delighted us!

What really stood out was the attention to detail and the generous portions. It felt like they truly cared about making our gathering special. If you're planning a group meal or catering event, Asian Kitchen is a top-tier choice. We'll definitely be ordering again!
BTW: I can't find a place where I can upload the picture for the meal ordered.“

“Delicious food, excellent service and the drinks! If you know, you know. 😉“

“If I could give 10 stars to service, I would! The manager was extremely kind to every customer and helped me with an issue when I ordered. They were also very polite when the item I ordered was unavailable and offered a good alternative. The restaurant was adorned with cute holiday decorations and the dumplings I ordered were delicious! I greatly recommend coming here for atmosphere, service, or food 🤩“

“Such an incredible new Chinese place for north Seattle! Every dish we had was amazing. Mongolian beef with crispy rice noodles--perfect flavor. The sweet and sour pork was like nothing we've had before, and the pot stickers are clearly made from scratch on site, they taste soooo fresh. Best of all, the chef had just whipped up a bath of popcorn chicken with this amazing sweet/spicy seasoning, and let us try it to give our opinion on the new recipe. So good! Very high quality food, made fresh, and incredibly reasonable prices. (Most entrees I saw are $9-12.) And the owners are exceptionally kind and professional. This will be our go to when we are in the neighborhood.“

“I ordered the hotpot noodle soup. The soup was hot and delicious. The broth was rich but not overwhelming. Our server added all the ingredients and stirred our soup together for us! I really appreciated it. Overall, would definitely come again.“

“First visit. Had reservation for one of the later slots on Christmas Eve. Although the restaurant was busy, the table was ready and chairs had Santa-themed covers, which was a nice touch. Server was efficient and took order in a timely manner, and food came out hot, fresh, and surprisingly quick, but server definitely had her hands full. The food was delicious. Be sure to get some spicy soup dumplings.... yummy, and I was told they are the 'best' ones. That said, I'll try the others on future visits. The duck was notably delicious, as was the sauteed bok choy, which was more than enough for four people to share. Our party also ordered the fried tofu, which was refreshingly light-fried and non-greasy. Also got a shrimp and noodle dish that was good, but we either received the veggie version... I don't remember seeing shrimp (or finding any) as I ate, but noodles were still good and it would take a lot more than that for me to have complained on Christmas Eve (or any other night, really). All the food was delicious and served quickly. Looking forward to the next opportunity for me to eat there.“

“Upgraded from the bar it became previously!!“

“fresh ingredients and a flavorful Chinese-style seasoning. The offal is cooked to the right texture—tender and not overdone—while the sauce is rich, savory, and well-balanced. It pairs very well with steamed rice and is a great choice for those who enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine. Overall, it is a satisfying and hearty dish.“

“We have been going to the Edmonds location for over 7 years! We love their food! It’s a great spot and kids are welcome. Here are some of our favorites: The egg and chive dumplings OR the entree, The colorful salad, their fresh noodles in the chow mein are super good as well, and the accompaniment foods. My husband regularly orders a big order of the Spicy noodle salad and divides it up for the weeks lunches!! The LFP location is a great spot to get quick food and I order them on Uber Eats! Bonus!! My only wish would be the Edmonds full menu also being on a delivery service.“

“xi an noodles was my favorite food“

“We tried three signature dishes. The fried pork chop was well-done, with the juicy and scripy texture. Best enjoyed with a dip of soy source. The panfried dumplings have a thick skin and a filling with overpowering ginger flavor… The wontons are large and filled to the brim, but skin is also slightly thick. Perhaps that’s the Shanghai style, but if you prefer dumplings with thin skin, this is not the right place for you.“

“Xiaolongbao House delivers the comforting essence of authentic Chinese family dining, earning a solid 4 out of 5 stars for its wide variety of traditional dishes, generous portions, and welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere.

“Been there twice and tried most of the vegetarian dishes, and LOVE all them! Great food, decor and service! Will go back with more friends! 😍“

“Beef onion buns are a must try!!“

“Hands down, the best pho you’ll find in Seattle! This place is killing it! I’m incredibly lucky to live in the neighborhood and I’ve been coming here since the day they opened. We were one of their first guests in those early days and eat here so much the owners know me by name! If I were qualified to give food awards, this place would win my 2024 Best of Seattle award! 🥇👏🏻✨ Ps. They do not accept reservations - it’s first come first serve. Around 6pm, they go on a waitlist and a line starts to form outside. Don’t bother calling to get on the waitlist - they won’t even do that for me! You have to show up in person to get on the list.“

“Outstanding services, They're extremely friendly and the food was delicious.“

“Wow Teriyaki is excellent. Great food and good portions. Ester gives great service she’s very friendly and personable. We have enjoyed dining at her restaurant for years . I’m so glad she is here in Lynnwood. Thank you for being so awesome!. “Mama.”“

“Fast and courteous service, and enjoyed their delicious food! My first visit here and planning on many more in the future.“

“Our server was very nice and attentive. The overall flavor of the broth and texture of the noodles is great. The portion size is medium, and the price is quite high for a bowl of noodles, which makes it feel like a delicacy. You’ll probably need to order more than 1 item to get a full meal out of it. I had the Wanza Mian 豌豆杂酱面“

“Consistently excellent food; the freshest ingredients. Never disappoints!!“

“Excellent soups for lunch menu!💗“

“Constantly amazing. Good is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great atmosphere and super friendly service! The food tastes authentic and flavorful, just like Hong Kong. The portions are generous and the price is reasonable. Loved their roast dishes and dim sum, definitely coming back again. Highly recommended!“

“This is quite the little gem in Aurora! We have been going here about 20 years or so, and it had always had consistently good food, and the owners are really nice. During COVID, they went to take-out only, so you get a bit of a thrill pulling up to the back door and waiting for someone to come out. :-)

We have tried many of the dishes here, and all have been good. Some of our favorites are the Soft Egg and Prawn, Curry Beef, Mongolian Beef, and House Special Fried Rice.

Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!“

“Everything I've tried here is fresh and delicious: Potstickers, General Tso's Chicken, Mongolian chicken, Fried Rice, Barbecue pork chow mein. All meats were fresh and tender.

Also, the staff is friendly and welcoming!“

“going to go there now and order for myself“

“Fantastic meal and experience!! Closed for dining, but opened for us (visiting from NC) and we enjoyed the best Chinese dinner and sweet hospitality!“

“One of the most beloved restaurants by locals. It’s always at the top of my list and worth the drive from downtown. The staff is lovely, the noodles are great, and the ambiance makes you feel like you’re at home. I’ve been here dozens of times and I will continue to do so.“

“I love skewers but haven’t been able to find any quick spots in Seattle, so was excited to have stumbled onto this place!

The chicken cutlet was crispy and delicious, although the chicken skin wasn’t very crunchy at all. Definitely not the best skewers I’ve had, but it was solid and nice for a quick meal. I’ll be returning to try other skewers! Service was friendly, although it was pretty busy so took longer than we expected for our two skewers.“

“Great selection of szechuan food. I tried their over the hridge ruce noodle which is my hometown dish (Yunnan province). It is decent and well done. The server was a very sweet lady. Great price for delicious authentic Chinese szechuan food.

Only thing I see that needs improvement is their workstation for side job- it is is next to the diners (green beans all over the table). Maybe you can reserve a further area for side jobs.

Highly recommended !“

“Hand made noodles are really good.
Flavors are really good. Skillful cook.
I personally like their Sweet and Sour Chicken and Fried rices, but their stir fried noodles are also excellent ( wife's favorite are the Indonesian ones)
The location does not allow dine in ( No tables) but it is an excellent for To-Go ( pickup or delivered) if you live nearby, they can deliver themselves ( instead of an overpriced app)“

“Super friendly staff great prices and delicious food.“

“Both the environment and the service are very good“

“Best place for family style dinner. The variety of food is amazing!! The seating capacity is quite good. A/V quality needs to be improved but manageable. Their menu is quite big and the location is picture perfect- right on the Lake Union with tons of free parking.“

“THE FOOD TASTE EXCELLENT ADD 1 MORE FOOD PHAD THAI SORRY I PUT A BOOM ON YOUR BLUE MAILBOX PLEASE TAKE IT OUT TURN IT IN THE THE EDMONDS POST OFFICE NOW THEIR ARE OPEN 8:45 AM THANKS FUR I EDMONDS🍱“

“This is an amazing little restaurant! We had the twice cooked pork and the garlic green beans. The pork was absolutely delicious and the garlic green beans were awesome too! It is a small place and it was packed when we went, but the server was attentive and very nice. 100% adding this to my list of favorite places in the area!“

“My husband and I LOVE going to Ikiiki Sushi Bar—they make the BEST sushi in Seattle! It’s a hidden gem of a sushi restaurant.

Every time I go with my husband or friends, I always have a great experience thanks to the high-quality sushi, excellent and friendly service, and the comfortable atmosphere.

I enjoy many different sushi restaurants in Seattle, but I come to this one often because the sushi is consistently amazing—I’ve never been disappointed! I always look forward to coming back whenever I’m craving great sushi.

I urge you to try this sushi restaurant since they make very high-quality sushi dishes.“

“The atmosphere is bare-bones, but clean and friendly. We ordered the large pork belly and short rib combo to split between two people and were not prepared for the absolute feast we received! The sides and dessert were delicious and the main dish tasted like home-cooked comfort food. Tender meats and huge chunks of vegetable in a savory broth really hit the spot on a cold and soggy day. The value for the price can't be beat - it was enough for a large lunch plus dinner the next day for two people. We will be back to try more dishes!“

“Told the owner who was working the counter that I was going through chemotherapy and needed a recommendation on something mild and easy on the stomach. He did a great job picking something out for me, someone who is not an adventurous eater. He chose garlic chicken w/ green beans. Never tried anything like it and I thought it was great! It was very easy on my stomach. 11/10, will be going there all the time while I’m in treatment.“

“I ordered on doordash for pickup, my food was hot & ready once I arrived not even 15 minutes after ordering- perfect, beautiful. However, there was only one person working the front end & they were absolutely busting their ass. My partner ordered a bubble tea once we arrived & it probably took 20ish minutes to actually receive it. I am in no way complaining about the length of time it took, more so wanting to bring to the owners attention how hard this person was being worked during what was an insanely busy dinner rush. Food was decent for the price & I would definitely come back. Shout out to the pink haired FOH worker for their patience & warmth during an insane rush of people slamming their phone in their face & demanding to be seen.“

“This place is just the best. My family has been going here for decades. My father was actually their very first customer at grand opening. To this day we still celebrate yearly by having our family meet here for dinner. Absolutely wonderful staff, relaxing atmosphere, and the best Chinese cuisine you will have ever had (disclaimer i've never been to china 😅) you will not regret it. Love em, Ill be a customer for life, just like my dad was.“

“The owners are amazing and so friendly. 😁 My dad and I always loved going here to enjoy the delicious food and great conversations with the owners for many years. Since my dad's death almost 3 years ago it has been bitter sweet visiting this restaurant again with so many great memories. One day I hope to return because I miss the great food and even better friendly conversations with the owners as we enjoyed our meal. My dad and I always ordered Sizzling Rice Soup to share, Almond or Lemon Chicken and Mongolian Beef or Triple Delight. Every time we came the owners knew what we wanted to eat. 😁“
