50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Mercer Island

“best Peking duck, great atmosphere, friendly staff. highly recommend the ginger onion fish fillet and lamb chops!“

“Recommend booking in advance. Very good price and delicious steak! Beautiful presentation. 1 salad + multiple dressings and dinner rolls to start.“

“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 :)“

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

“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!“

“One of the best restaurants in town, no question! Their vegan options are SO GOOD. We can’t recommend them enough. Fresh, delicious, good portions, solid options, and just so good. A total must if in Seattle.😁“

“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! 😍“

“This is one of our go to dumpling spots. Whenever we have out of town guests and they want dumplings this is where we go! Highly recommed the mapo tofu wagu beef. Also this service is wonderful they welcomed our party of 10 and took great care of us!“

“Souryuu Crepe at MeCrepe is a must-try! The combination of flavors is unique and perfectly balanced. The crepe itself is light and crispy, while the filling is rich and flavorful. The presentation is beautiful, and the service is friendly and efficient. Highly recommend for anyone looking to try something new and delicious!“

“Beef onion buns are a must try!!“

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

“Wonderful! atmosphere and fresh food!“

“So good! Food was served quickly & SO delicious. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Quick to clear our table of empty dishes. Highly recommend! We will be back very soon!“

“Ate 🔥 food here on a 🔥 day! This place was great! We ordered the beef noodle soup, miso hot pot, and custard buns - all of which came with a pickled cucumber appetizer. It was delicious! The person working was also super friendly and nice. Bonus points for really competitive prices! We'll definitely be back!“

“Our first visit was yesterday for lunch and we had Chicken Xiao Long Bao, Chicken pan-fried potstickers, Chicken and Vegetable Won-tons in sweet and sour sauce and Spicy (Ma la) noodles.....all were very good! The service was excellent and we enjoyed the whole experience!!“

“That was a great place and our young kids loved the food. Polite staff, great presentation and venue. Only got 4 star because our first soup dumplings were forgotten for 45 min.

Dietary restrictions: Very friendly for dairy allergen. Only avoided the banana naan.

Kid-friendliness: Kids enjoyed the food and family friendly“

“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 !“

“xi an noodles was my favorite food“

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

“Update: Super sad that the menu changed and excluded my favorite items. No more beef chow fun. No more fried rice. I hope those items come back.

Original: WOW!!! Went here with my partner, who is from HK, and they were super impressed. Legit HK dishes, done completely on point. Down to the dry ho fan (chow fun) using the correct noodles (something you rarely see in the US) to the hella authentic black pepper sauce, we were blown away. Oh, and the chili oil on the table is legit too, it's seasoned not just chili oil! The service was amazing too, oh and the HK milk tea hot was also just like you'd get in HK! Highly recommend, we'll be back soon!“

“Excellent soups for lunch menu!💗“

“Both the environment and the service are very good“

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

“A hidden gem located in South lake Union. This place succeeded my expectations. Service here is immaculate. I appreciate how vegetarian friendly this restaurant is. The best thing that we got was the ribs and the yibin burning noodles.the dumplings were authentic and flavorful. I highly recommend this place and would come back.“

“Cute little spot thats been recently remodeled. Clean, welcoming and family-run. Food is Americanized Chinese and delicious. Everything is made from scratch and taste so fresh. My favorites are hot and sour soup, Mongolian beef and Sweet and Sour Chicken. We come back at least monthly. So so good!“

“Constantly amazing. Good is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great hot pot! Great service and great food. I loved everything about the experience. The flavor of the broth was very good and the meat was very good quality. They have amazing promos and merch. I loved that they gave me a band for my hair that was very nice of them.“

“First time eating here.

The dumplings and spicy noodle with beef & brisket , meatballs was good portion and lots of flavor!

The menu is easy to order and lots of options you can customize your own bowl of noodles. Pick from toppings, soup , and sides.

Best noodle place I had in while !“

“Hole in the wall! We almost passed up walking in, but then my hubby noticed all the fine-looking cars in the full lot and we braved it. I almost cried with joy when I saw their weekend dim sum menu. So many childhood favorites that I had growing up in NYC’s Chinatown. To be clear, the “dim sum” is not the traditional Cantonese dim sum but more northern style like green onion pancakes, salty tofu milk, fried sticks, rolled rice rolls, etc. We splurged on getting one of our faves: pea shoots in garlic sauce. Would love to go back and try other dishes.“

“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!“

“Wow, really great food here. Everything super delicious! Wish I had tried it sooner in fact. Perfectly cooked and presented. The egg noodles were a standout, cooked to a nice al dente. We got two soups, the wonton/brisket with thick egg noodles and the wonton/fish ball with rice noodles, planning on trying more different things next time.

They also have Chinese donut which is great for dipping in your soup!“

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

“xi an noodles was my favorite food“

“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.“

“The service was very fast and very friendly, the food was prepared very fast as well and it was all delicious! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that enjoys authentic Chinese cuisine. They also speak English and have English names on the menus as well!“

“We accidentally stumbled upon Nan Noodles, and are so grateful we did. The food is fresh, hot, fast and extremely tasty. We have found a lot of unique dishes here and have never had a bad experience. We've brought friends from our of town multiple times and they are always thrilled.

Really love the quick ordering experience but the staff is also helpful and quick to refill water and ask how things were. We hope to come back many times in the future.“

“I recently tried Qiao Lin and went with the Golden Cow Platter along with a few other meat options. One important tip — don’t underestimate how much meat you’re getting! The portions are definitely generous, so I’d recommend ordering a little at first before piling on extras, or you might end up with more than you can finish.

The quality of the meat was solid — fresh and flavorful — and the dipping sauces complemented everything well. There are other snack/appetizers too near the sauce bar that you must try!

Overall, had a fun experience and would come back.“

“Exceptional service all around. The hostess was very kind and even gave us some extra dishes on the house. Food was delicious and portions sizes were quite large, their dim sum had tons of shrimp and meat. Were from out of state, so unfortunately won't be able to be regulars.“

“一開門就能採買到心想的家鄉味早餐👍“

“Really delicious steamed bun selection. Easy and quick take out spot- a large selection of hot buns and fridge items. We tried the beef vermicelli and mushroom vermicelli buns and the tofu salad. It was all incredibly delicious. Can't wait to go there again and try their other items!“

“This is the best Cantonese BBQ in Seattle. If you ever find yourself heading to Uwajimaya or the rest of the ID on Mon-Sat and you want roast pork, do yourself a favor and head here instead. For a cheaper price you can get fresh roast pork that is to die for. Well marinated, crunchy, and juicy. The dry beef chow fun is also a staple and is always cooked hot to order. I've ordered from here many many times and never been disappointed.

P.S.: If you want roast chicken you might want to call in ahead. It's very popular.“

“Stopped here for the first time today to pick up lunch. Loved the flavor and taste of each of three dishes we tried. This will now be our favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. Crispy & Spicy Fish 香辣鱼 & Szechuan Chicken 四川鸡 were particularly good.“

“Delicious Chinese place located near the Coal Creek Parkway area! They have a large menu with all of the classic options you’d hope for from Chinese restaurant. We came up from Renton where we’ve found it hard to locate a place that is authentic and tastes amazing. I’d highly recommend trying the tried rice and the noodle dish. The General Tsao chicken was good, but I think I’ll try something the next time around! Definitely a place we plan to go back to. They do take out as well if you’re on the run.“

“Bellevue's Chinese cuisine gets better every year, and this is an amazing addition that has a lot of less common dishes I haven't seen prolifically elsewhere. I suspect it's not to every westerner's tastes, but if you're into new foods, they're not kidding about the 'comfort food that still seems high quality' vibe. Small space for dining in, which is mildly a shame because I suspect most of their food deserves to be eaten immediately, but if it keeps their costs low and helps them stay in business for the long haul, I'd be happy to eat in a broom closet. A real gem for the area.“

“When we lived just up the street, we were at Yummy Cafe at least a couple nights a week. Vivian and Wei are so kind, and the Cantonese comfort food was always a huge draw on busy weeknights. We've since moved away, but I still miss their chicken/salty fish fried rice, garlic sauteed pea vines, and salt and pepper tofu and chicken wings.“

“Our regular spot for take-out a couple times a month! We enjoy everything they have, from fried rice, Kung Pao, Beef broccoli and the usual standards to the Vietnamese and Japanese options. Good quality and consistency, and the family and employees are kind and helpful.“

“Lived in the UDistrict for five years now and only just now discovered it! Some of the best Chinese (maybe Chinese American food) I’ve ever had. I order takeout at least once a month as it is literally my favorite restaurant. It’s in an unassuming spot and I would never have thought to come by until I was craving some honey walnut shrimp and saw that they sold it. My partner and I love it and think it’s literally some of the best we’ve ever had. It’s so crunchy and saucy! I also love getting the sugared biscuits and crab wontons as these were some of my favorite childhood eats. It’s also a small local business that looks like it’s only run by a wife and most likely her husband. I’ve never dined in before but they do have around four tables of four to sit at :)“

“We absolutely love this place. Every time we go to Queen Anne, we eat here. The people are so nice, and the food is super fresh and flavorful. The restaurant is cozy. Prices are on par with Seattle Chinese food. Literally nothing wrong with this place!“

“food was delicious. staff was very professional and courteous and friendly. awesome place to dine.“
