Szechuan • $$
“A great place for Szechuan food! Service was great, food came out quick, and everything tasted amazing. We definitely over ordered for a table of 4 but the leftovers the next day was just as good, so I can't complain! Everything was delicious and I would definitely order again. The Mung Bean Jelly Noodle - refreshing and not too spicy, Mapo Tofu - silky tofu and flavorful sauce, Mao Xue Wong (intestines, pork blood, fish, spam, etc) - bathed in hot chili oil, mala (tingling, spicy), and eggplant. It's facing the transit center, so you'll have to park on the side or in the parking lot behind. I think the restaurant has a full bar, but I saw a lot of people ordering soy milk so I'll try that next time since it'll probably help with the spice. They also have some unique beer offerings as well; try the Lychee beer if you haven't! I'll definitely be adding this to my rotation of restaurants :)“
“To be honest, this wasn’t for me. I did not enjoy the noodles I had at all. Although the honey chicken wings were probably the best wings I have ever had in my life, they’re really crispy and full of flavor. I would highly recommend them above anything else.“
“Great little shop with tasty noodles and other dishes. I highly recommend the Nine Way Noodles if you enjoy mala flavor (sichuan peppercorn). The dumplings and wontons in oil were also solid. Service was great and prices were cheap. If I had to identify one weakness, I'd say the noodles were oilier than I would have preferred, making the meal feel very heavy. However, it was all flavorful so I still give them 5 stars.“
“I love this place, I always get the sweet and sour shrimp with the shrimp fried rice and then pour the sauce from sweet and sour over my rice OMG DE-LISH!!!Parking: There is parking right in front and more on the side of building or strip mall.“
“My family loves this place. Very kid friendly and parking is easy though it can get packed! We always do AYCE and the flavors are great. They do have vegetarian options too though somewhat limited to soups (plenty of veggie and soy options otherwise!).They don't have individual soup but they have dual pots for two soups at a time as well as one big pot. If you're a big eater, going solo or for a date is not a bad idea here either! Prices ok for the area, better if you come hungry.Bathrooms ok.Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options for hotpot, limited soup though since I think the tomato soup is chicken based.Parking: More parking on the street in the residential area if the lot is full.Kid-friendliness: They have lots of high chairs here.“
“Came here on a Sunday night for dinner and ordered off the happy hour menu. Most of the tables were full despite making reservation. We ended up sitting at the bar. We had five items: Dan Dan noodles, chicken wings, broccoli, shrimp egg roll and pork short ribs. Everything came out quickly and was so delicious! This is definitely elevated Chinese food. Dan Dan noodles has such savory aroma that it was love at first bite. ? The waiters were definitely busting their chops to get everyone served. Will definitely come back to try other menu items.“
“Let's talk about Frying Fish, the Chinese eatery nestled in the mall area alongside Safeway and a cluster of other spots. Finding a spot to park is a breeze, and once inside, you'll find yourself in a cozy space adorned with traditional Chinese decor. Despite its prime location, scoring a table is usually a cinch, which is a pleasant surprise.Now, onto the main event--their signature Sichuan frying fish. It's got a bit of a greasy kick, but boy, is it flavorful. The portion sizes are nothing to scoff at, ensuring you'll leave satisfied. With five spice levels on offer, I tend to stick to a solid 4, but if your taste buds are feeling adventurous, they'll happily mix it up for you.When it comes to sides, the eggplant with basil or pea vine in garlic are standouts. The eggplant brings the heat, so proceed with caution if spice isn't your thing. But trust me, it's worth it. And the combination of basil and eggplant? Absolutely divine. While the pea vine might set you back a bit more, its unique flavor and texture make it a worthwhile indulgence.For those looking for an alternative to frying fish, the tea smoked duck is worth a try.Just a heads up--the dishes don't come with rice, so be sure to order some on the side or prepare it yourself at home.All in all, Frying Fish offers a unique twist on Chinese cuisine that's sure to leave a lasting impression. If you're in the mood for a culinary adventure, don't hesitate to give them a visit.“
“Second place In Seattle that my family goes to often . It feels like a hole in the wall place but it's an atmosphere we enjoy. Loved everything. Well first thing I didn't love was the fried chicken in salty egg yoke. I might just not be a fan of salty egg yoke. It didn't have much “
“Homey spot for fresh dumplings. This place was great! Their dumplings warm and not doughy. The Xiao long bao was quite tasty. For an evening dinner after a long day, this was worth it.If you get the chance, please support this small business along with the others nearby as the very much need it.“
“Came here with a big group for a birthday. I was thoroughly impressed with everything we ordered, it was a family style meal with lots of dishes and plenty of second helpings. Our group ran the gamut for spice tolerance, vegan, and food allergies but there was plenty of overlap on dishes most of us could eat. The peppery flavors of the meal were such a delight to the palette, slightly numbing in some cases but never too spicy hot, there are even several peppery drinks on the menu that are sure to wow. My favorite was the chicken, but my friends loved the sweet and buttery flavor of the hen of the forest which was definitely my runner-up. Service was also excellent, everything came out quickly, our waters were topped up, and the servers were friendly and knowledgeable on the dishes. Definitely looking forward to the next time!“
“Super authentic Sichuan food??PARKnSHOP Shopping→Shu 1, Shu 2, one-stop dining is so funTheir dishes are rarely over-the-top, and we recommend [Small Stir-fried Pork] [Mao Xue Wang] [Griddle Pot Fat Sausage] [Stir-fried Chicken Gizzards with Sour Beans]The basic traditional Sichuan cuisine is quite authentic and delicious, and spicy enough! The portion is huge!The only one that got me wrong was the [Double Pepper Fish Head]White water fish smells fishy and tastes bad. Problems with fish. Seasoning??“
“Food - excellent. They know their food and also American-Chinese chow but done way better. Being Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan they're as spicy as they come with all their deeper & mouth watering flavors. It is all about the food in this restaurant.Service - it's just one guy that takes both phone and sit-down orders. So keep that mind cause you're not gonna be waited on like in a regular restaurant. A couple of ladies will dish out your orders and make up for the lack thereof. Still the service is okay considering.Atmosphere - it's clean, spaced appropriately, and there are also a couple of bigger round tables with lazy susans for special occasions where everyone shows up for dinner. No wow factor here. Part of the dining experience is the bathroom which scores low.“
“Very cool interior with the neon lights. The food was very flavorful with good spice. We had the pickled pepper beef with Cilantro, the shredded pork with garlic, the pickled garlic cucumber salad, lamb fried rice, and beef noodles. They all had very unique tastes and the chicken was our favorite. I would come here again.“
Hot Pot • $$
“A bit expensive, and the broths were too salty, but everything else was really great! I wouldn't recommend this place unless you bought the Groupon, which gives you $100 of food for $70. The sour plum drink is a great deal however! $10 for a big pitcher, enough for 4 people.“
“I've been here three times in the last three months. Every group we bring here has had such a great time and left happy and full. With the all you can eat hot pot, you end up spending about $45-50 per person total, and it is so worth it. Every broth is so flavorful, and there are so many veggie, meat, and sauce options, it's impossible to get bored. I've tried so many new foods here and enjoyed every single one. Absolutely 1000% recommendVegetarian options: Most of the broths can be ordered vegetarian, and there are tons of veggies to cook and eat.Parking: Lots of parking on site“
“Best hotpot I’ve ever had in Seattle. Portion sizes are generous, meat quality is excellent and they have a wide variety of meat, seafood and veggie options. I also love that they have a table in the very corner facing out the front windows so you can people watch as you eat.“
“Today is my 60 years birthday and my kids insist celebrating it at DAN GUI Sichuan Cuisine as they visited it many times and spoke very highly of it. Glad I listened to them and am truly impressed, not only the delicious food but also the owner & his team of good staff. They surprised me and made my birthday the most memorable one. Thank you very much! HD“
“This restaurant is huge with multiple rooms, but is understaffed. They tried to squeeze way too many tables with a table even almost right in the doorway. It's freezing at that table whenever anyone opens the front door. I think we only got our waters refilled once if at all, but we probably could have gotten more if we tried. It also took a while to get the check.We basically had one dish with each type of protein - free range chicken soup with cordyceps flower, steamed flounder with tofu, shredded pork with dry bean curd, and stir fried filet mignon, but also ordered the vegetable medley and "eggplants in hot garlic sauce".The chicken soup feels too overpriced, especially with the server spilling a bunch of it when pouring into the bowls. The shredded pork with dry bean curd and the eggplants in garlic sauce were both my favorite dishes. Their menu is huge, so there's going to be something for everyone. It seems like this restaurant is good for spicy dishes, even though we didn't have any.Parking: Tight parking spots“
“We came here to celebrate one of my students' graduation, an early graduation lunch. She wanted to try Chinese food and I chose this location based on recommendation from other Chinese colleagues. This place is very quiet during lunch hour, we were the only group. There are a good number of to-go orders. It looks like the place is recently renovated, clean and new. We ordered three entrees and they were all very tasty and authentic, in my opinion. The food came out pretty quick. We tried dry pot chicken, hot and sour cabbage, and shredded pork in garlic sauce. All well flavored and not too overwhelming. My student is from the Midwest and she really loved the food too. I will probably come back again. I would recommend coming during lunch hour if you want to avoid a crowd. The owner said it tends to get busy for dinner.“
“The food is delicious, very fresh, large portions to share! Staff is amazing! Very friendly and attentive! My new favorite place to eat when I visit from New MexicoParking: Parking area was fantastic! No stress in finding a parking place and we did not have to walk blocks to get to the restaurant!“
“This place is not far-away from where I live, a small fast food place specializing in pork hock dishes, it is the same from the Vancover Wan Luan Pork Hock place Environment: casual atmosphere, perfect for a quick bite or a takeaway meal,relatively small, with limited seating optionsService: the boss is a very nice Taiwanese, he will talk a lot with you hahaThe Pork Hock Original: The meat was tender and succulent, cooked to perfection. It had a savory flavor with hints of spices and herbs, complemented by a slight smokinessWan Luan Pork Hock with 3 Flavor Sauce: using the traditional 3 flavor sauce of chicken way to cook the hock, the combination of sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavors was a true treat for the taste buds. a balanced blend of soy sauce, garlic, onion, basil and chili“
“Everything you want in an authentic Chinese / Sichuan place. Huge menu, food is top tier, and you can control the spice level to your liking. Came here with a large group and ordered a lot of food - so much flavor and use of real Sichuan peppercorns.Will definitely visit again!“
“This place is awesome and flies under the radar for a lot of folks. My favorite chicken wings in Seattle are here. They also offer a wide array of very interesting Szechuan items. We got the whole roasted fish and loved it. Looking forward to our next visit!“
“Flavors are different and authentic, not your run of the mill Chinese restaurant! Ambience is nice, has modern decor and very reasonable pricing. Would be helpful to have more pictures available - the dishes are definitely worth a go if you enjoy spicy food once you figure out what to order, cheers!“
“Dinner with my friends last night and this was SUCH great food! A friend recommended it, and it's worthy. Not fancy, just nice, good food, simple, tasteful decor and atmosphere. I had the Cumin Beef (wonderfully spicy( and Garlic Green Beans (not spicy at all, just really good), Mongolian Beef (yummy and hardly spicy), and Dan Dan Noodles (so interesting, different, really yummy-tasty). I'll be back. I'll gladly travel across the city for food this good!“
