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 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 :)“

“Great food and quick service.“

“Taiwan beef noodle soup at Nan Noodle — really solid choice. The broth was rich and savory with a nice depth of spice, and the beef was tender enough to fall apart with your chopsticks. Noodles had a great chewy bite. Portion was generous without being overwhelming. Definitely hits the spot if you’re craving something comforting and flavorful. Would order again🔥🔥🔥👍🏾👍🏾“

“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!“

“The scallion pancakes were flaky and delicious! Best I'd had in decades. The wonton soup broth was tasty, delicious, and light, wontons full with chicken. The steamed bun dough was airy and flavorful, right proportion of dough to filling. Plan on methodically tasting everything on their menu!“

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

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

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

“Both the environment and the service are very good“

“This Sichuan restaurant was such a pleasant surprise! We ordered the boiled beef, and dry-fried green beans, and everything was authentic and flavorful. The dishes had that perfect balance of numbing and spicy — bold but not overwhelming. The beef was tender, and the Sichuan pepper aroma really stood out. Portions were generous, and the service was friendly and efficient. Definitely coming back when I’m craving real Sichuan food!“

“Finally...a good Chinese restaurant in the north end. Great food, great service! We will be back!“

“A casual Chinese savory crepe place. No dine in available temporarily. Currently to go order only. Order using the tablet and wait. Supposed to receive the text message when ready, though did not get the message this time. BBQ pork crepe was amazing. Crawfish was okay. Will add vegetables as extra next time. One order comes with two crepes. Plenty of food.“

“The place was very calming, with fast service! Our food came out within 5 minutes!
Although, I recommend that you don’t completely mix the food with sauce or soup, as it might get too salty.(Just if you are not used to lots of Asian food). Overall, I really loved the food, and the price is reasonable!“

“I firstly know this resteraunt on Pandas and found it's good taste. It serves delicious food with very soon delivery time and silence environment. It is quite here and good for both 2 person chat or one person dinner. Strongly recommended“

“ChiHo Bistro has quickly become one of my favorite spots, especially if you’re a truffle lover. You honestly can’t go wrong with anything truffle here , every dish feels rich, balanced, and thoughtfully executed without being overpowering.

The standout for me has to be the truffle XLB. Each dumpling is packed with savory broth and finished with an earthy truffle flavor that takes the entire bite to another level. It’s INCREDIBLY comforting,

The truffle fried rice is easily one of the best fried rices around. Perfectly seasoned with a deep wok flavor, every grain is flavorful without feeling heavy, and the truffle ties everything together beautifully. It’s one of those dishes you keep thinking about long after the meal is over.

Their duck is another must-order. Crispy skin, tender meat, and packed with flavor. It pairs perfectly with the richer truffle dishes and rounds out the meal so well.

Overall, ChiHo Bistro delivers a unique mix of comfort and elevated flavors. The quality, attention to detail, and balance in every dish make it a spot I’m always excited to come back to.“

“The first thing I noticed was the pristine cleanliness. Even the corners of the floor by the entrance door were spotless. Service was fast and efficient; a large pot of perfectly brewed Jasmine tea arrived quickly. My husband ordered the chicken chow mein, I ordered vegetarian dumplings, and we split the best fried rice we've ever eaten. I never expected to eat 6 of the dumplings! They were so delicious that I couldn't stop. My husband said, "We've got to come back here!" Its a little hard to find, but well worth the effort.“

“We came in here after hearing about their handmade noodles made from local Washington wheat. And we were not disappointed! We got an order of the dumplings, sesame noodles, and buckwheat noodles. And everything was really great! They can make it as spicy as you want and it's a pretty low key restaurant vibe. It's a little pricey for what it is, having spent about $35pp, but it was really good and worth it in our opinion. The golden lion mocktail was also really great.“

“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.“

“xi an noodles was my favorite food“

“Beef onion buns are a must try!!“

“Excellent soups for lunch menu!💗“

“I LOVE Fu Shen - they are my go-to Chinese spot and I don’t even mind that they’re pick up only. The food is always hot, delicious, and they staff are SO kind and friendly when they bring out your food. There are dedicated parking spots on the side of the building, so you can call ahead and by the time you arrive your food is ready. 10/10 would recommend!“

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

“Hands down, the best teriyaki place in Washington state. Love the portion size and the smoky flavor always hits the spot. Only things that I'd recommend is to get the sauce on the side, because I personally don't like it having too much sauce, it gets a bit salty.“

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

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

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

“Early Bird Cafe is exactly the kind of locally owned restaurant every neighborhood hopes to have. From the moment you walk in, the owner and staff make you feel welcome with their genuine friendliness and hospitality.

The menu is extensive, offering something for everyone, and we've never been disappointed by anything we've ordered. Some of our favorites include the Orange Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Eggplant in Garlic Sauce, and General Tso's Chicken. Every dish is flavorful, well-prepared, and served in generous portions that provide great value. They also offer an impressive selection of Boba drinks, making it easy to find something new to try.

What keeps us coming back, however, is the exceptional customer service. The owner is incredibly kind and often goes above and beyond - making sure guests have a great experience. It's clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority.

In a time when great service can be hard to find, Early Bird Cafe stands out as a true neighborhood gem. If you're looking for delicious food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is a fantastic choice for local dining. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“When chef Eleni Ponirakis Henry asks you out for dinner, and she recommends Chef Liao, only fools pass.
Thank god for grand children, Eleni's Greek-heritage influenc fame stretches from her home in Greece back to her home in Seattle.
Many may recall the loss of her Greenwood Ave restaurant due to a neighbors gas explosion.

Regardless, there’s clearly something special happening here.

Quietly hidden within the menu is Chef Liao gluten-free options, don’t hesitate to ask, not everything is, but many dishes are absolutely worth exploring.

This is truly a family affair, with the team dedicated to preparing fresh, family-style dishes that highlight clean, uncomplicated flavor profiles.

I was especially drawn to the squid. Don’t expect calamari, while calamari is squid, this dish features steak cuts from much larger size squid, than the smaller calamari-size fare. Also I wouldn't call myself an eggplant lover, BUT I would return for both these again....“

“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 food and excellent customer service! We ordered several dishes for the table, including dumplings, sesame chicken, lo mein, and fried rice. Every single item was delicious and beautifully presented. The flavors tasted authentic and balanced, not overly salty or greasy like some places. The staff checked on us regularly and made sure our drinks stayed full. Wonderful dining experience from start to finish.“

“going to go there now and order for myself“

“Pleasantly surprised with Mount & Bao in Lynnwood! I’ve visited the location in Greenlake one time before but didn’t know they had a few other spots.

This location had easy parking out front and was well decorated for the holiday season. We were seated immediately as it was after lunch hour.

I came with a group of three and ordered the shrimp shumai, salt and pepper wings, honey walnut shrimp, Mongolian beef, spring rolls, and xiaolongbao. Portion sizes were very generous that we even had leftovers, which is always a win.

Standout dishes for us were the salt and pepper wings (lots of wings, super flavorful and crispy), honey walnut shrimp, and Mongolian beef. Everything came out hot and well-prepared.

To top it off, the waitress surprised us with a complimentary slice of cheesecake at the end, which was very thoughtful. Great food, solid portions, and friendly service - we’ll definitely be back!“

“Went on a Sat afternoon. Place was not very busy but it took a bit to get seated. Had to ask for paper menus.

Picked one safe dish and one new dish. Worth it! We got the pumpkin fried with salted egg yolks and some vegetarian noodles.“

“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.“

“Super friendly staff great prices and delicious food.“

“I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the best Chinese American food I've ever had. We ordered takeout and had the sesame beef, beef & broccoli, orange chicken, and sweet & sour crispy chicken which was included for free! The ingredients were high quality and prepared with care, the sauces were amazing, and there were incredible textures throughout each dish. Everything that you'd want to be crispy was crispy, everything that you'd want to be tender was tender. The beef in the beef & broccoli was so soft and juicy it basically melted in my mouth. The sesame beef was so so so so good and was my favorite. I will definitely be coming back 😋“

“Food is quite decent and generous portions for the price.

Definitely a plus they have parking here.

Service wasn't bad in the usual sense, but the guy working the counter seemed like he was maybe family filling in or something, it just seemed like he never worked at a restaurant before.“

“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🍱“

“The song selection here is amazing and includes so many different languages. It’s so cool that the machine has YouTube built right into it! We're here for a company gathering, and we have a lot of teammates who aren’t native English speakers. The owners really went above and beyond to make this setup so inclusive for different languages.“

“I love the mom and pop vibe here. The egg flower soup is exceptional. I appreciate that they offer a lunch special with so many choices, since I alwsys want it ALL when I have Chinese. The lunch special includes your choice of egg flower or hot and sour soup, and egg roll, your choice of white, brown or fried rice, and then your entree choice. Each is about $15. Idk if they were out of it last time, or if they stopped including hot tea with lunch. It is clean and the staff are friendly. They offer to go. They can accommodate individuals or a group of up to 8 at a big round table with a lazy Susan.“

“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!“

“We found this place last year while staying at a hotel close by and we ordered takeout. The food was so memorable that when we came back this year I had to eat here again! I love their egg flower soup, it has celery and carrots in it which give it more depth than regular egg drop soup. We had their broccoli beef and it was too die for! And their pork fried rice is the real deal! Absolutely delicious and I have this place saved to my favorites so we can come back again next year!“

“The Seven Flavor Beef was a well know West Seattle favorite of the new owner’s former now closed restaurant, Lee’s Asian. He had added it to the Judy Fu menu. A bit too salty this time around. Reduce the salt and you’ll have a new neighbor winner. Folks in West Seattle have gone without their Seven Flavor Beef fix for so long have wondered. So here you go.“

“Excellent food. I came to Kirkland to visit my daughter. Since there are no good Chinese places in Yakima, I decided to take everyone out to this place. Mongolian beef was the best I had in a long time. Hot and sour soup just the way I like it. Great service and the food was fast and fresh. Hope to go back there again one day.“

“Im surprised this place isn't packed. Its really good, everything taste like its made in house. The service was fantastic.

The dim sum is large and not very delicate. I like it. I would go back if I was in the area.“
