12 Best Chinese Restaurants in Lynnwood

“Summary:
A great spot if you’re craving dumplings/potstickers. Their chive and shrimp dumplings are fresh and flavorful, making it worth a visit. However, I wouldn’t recommend the Dan Dan noodles as they fall short of authenticity. Service is quick and polite, run by what seems to be a hardworking couple. Overall, it’s a solid choice for dumplings, earning four stars.

Ambience (4/5):
The atmosphere is simple and no-frills, but it’s comfortable and welcoming. It’s a cozy spot to enjoy a casual meal, especially if you’re in the mood for dumplings. The focus here is clearly on the food, which is the main attraction.

Authenticity (3/5):
The dumplings are definitely the highlight, and the chive shrimp variety stands out as fresh and flavorful. However, the Dan Dan noodles were a letdown. They arrived in a stone bowl/pot, which looked unusual, and the taste was just okay—definitely not authentic. You can find better versions of Dan Dan noodles elsewhere.

Flavor (4/5):
The chive shrimp dumplings were fresh, with a great balance of flavor. I really enjoyed how the chive complemented the shrimp. However, the Dan Dan noodles were underwhelming in both presentation and taste. Stick to the dumplings—they’re what the restaurant does best.

Cost (4/5):
For the quality and portion sizes, the prices are reasonable. You’ll get a solid meal without breaking the bank, especially if you focus on the dumplings, which are definitely worth the price.

Service (5/5):
The service was excellent. It seems to be a couple running the restaurant, and they were fast, efficient, and very polite. The speed of the service really impressed me, and they made the dining experience smooth and enjoyable.

Tips for Visiting:

1. Stick to the dumplings: The dumplings are the star of the show here, especially the chive shrimp dumplings. I’d recommend focusing on these and skipping the Dan Dan noodles.
2. Quick service: The service is speedy and polite, so even during busy times, you won’t have to wait long for your food.
3. Casual spot: If you’re looking for a casual place with good dumplings, this is a great choice. The ambiance is simple, but it’s all about the food here.“

“Some of the best Chinese food I've had in the greater Seattle area. SPECTACULAR. It reminds me of a favorite place i grew up with back east. The taste is exactly what you want, and that fried rice burrito was absolutely fantastic (i needed to break out the gloves to keep my hands clean, though, haha!)“

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

“We have been to PF Chang’s locations all over the country. This location is excellent. The food is always consistent. We go a couple of nights a month on a Saturday. We do drive an hour and 10 minutes each way depending on traffic. We always get reservations as the restaurant can get really busy. Definitely take the time to make a reservation if you have a big party. PF Chang’s has been running deals for months to reward customers and also to get people who may want to try something new. The crispy fried green beans, chicken lettuce wraps, crispy honey chicken , kung pao chicken, strawberry cheesecake and banana spring rolls are always our favorites. My only suggestion is if you are a party of 2 and getting reservations for date night then make the reservation for a party of 3. We try so many different appetizers and paired with everything else we need the extra table space. We absolutely love Andrew as our server and make reservations to assure Andrew’s section. Andrew is without a doubt phenomenal! All of the servers are great truly. Yet Andrew has become part of our date night traditions. If you get disappointed trying new restaurants and looking for somewhere new then give PF Changs a try. Also enroll in the rewards program. Nothing is better than a free appetizer or dessert from time to time.

Vegetarian options: I can’t remember off the top of my head as I always look past vegan options because I usually always know what I want.

Dietary restrictions: The offer vegan and gluten free options.

Parking: Parking can be difficult as the mall is busy. Just plan ahead. There is also free electric charging spots.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are definitely welcome. They do have kid friendly options. Kids always love the crispy honey chicken.

Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is wheelchair accessible although handicap parking is hit and miss. It’s easier to park in front of Cheesecake Factory to find handicap spots.“

“This is my second time coming here. I will definitely come back again. I got the shrimp fried rice and the salmon lover’s roll. I have to say this is one of the best fried rice I’ve in a long time. Staff is very attentive and the restaurant has a great atmosphere“

“Best Chinese food in Lynwood. Jajjang mein is very delicious, rich in sauce. Dumpling is very tasteful, both are reasonable price. I will recommended to all my friend“

“This has to be the top mom and pop Korean joint on highway 99. They recently reopened the sitting area! The menu is limited but portions are larger than life. The aroma can be felt from the parking lot. The sweet lady working the front is so patient with you.

10/10 recommend coming atleast once just for the portion size. One sweet and sour chicken and pork dumplings will be enough for 3 servings for a single person.

I wish I came here often.“

“Great takeout! I've returned here several times. I always get fried rice, my favorite! We also had the Singapore curry chowmain. Pot stickers and general chicken, egg flower soup. All very good.
The lumpia is addictive...

Vegetarian options: Tofu with veggies“

“Very first visit. Bright, clean, colorful place. Three different lunches there yesterday. All were good. Only complaint: the abundant meat could be cut more bite size. All very tasty and reasonably priced. We’ll be visiting again maybe next week.

Vegetarian options: Kung pao tofu plate lunch was good“

“They have many things on the menu that I love but this is about an experience. I ordered at like 9pm. They close at 930 and I didnt know if my food would taste like it usually tastes because some places do not like you ordering that close to closing time and I have had bad experiences.

This House Fried Rice taste the same every time I get it. They are always on point when I go and thats really big for me. I appreciate their food and more importantly they customer service!“

“Had to find if your not around here we always get the family menu with three entrees and two sides always have enough leftovers for dinner the next day with a family of four

Parking: One way in and one way out for parking“
