50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Mountlake Terrace

“I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Let me start off with this is the best teriyaki I’ve ever had. The chicken is perfect and juicy, and the rice is sticky and delicious. The gyozas are so tasty, I will be dreaming about them for the foreseeable future.

Also, thank you to the woman who brought our order out to our car. It wasn’t ready when we came to pick it up and we are so grateful you brought it out to us.

Amazing place!!!!“

“The texture, cor, taste, sauces, seasoning, moisture, softness of the chicken, the freshness of the vegetables, and the richness yet not too rich teriyaki sauce mixture is almost to die for! Well balanced dish (although I had extra chicken), and the atmosphere (me being alone in the restaurant felt kinda good, but it's a little forlorn). Why not many people eat at this location is beyond me, but I HIGHLY recommend eating here. True quality and real appreciation of Teriyaki. Next time, I have to try something else besides just teriyaki. :)“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“Super friendly staff great prices and delicious food.“

“I almost never leave reviews, but after visiting T Dumpling House today, I just had to say something!
First of all — the food was absolutely delicious! Seriously, every bite was a joy.
Second — the staff were so warm, friendly, and respectful, it made the whole experience even better.
And finally — this place is spotless! Super clean and clearly very well taken care of.
I’m honestly impressed.
Can’t recommend it enough!“

“Highly recommend this place! The owner is incredibly warm and welcoming, always greeting customers with a big smile, making you feel right at home. The food is absolutely delicious—their fried chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside, easily the best wings I’ve had in Seattle. The stir-fried beef noodles is also incredibly authentic, with perfectly cooked noodles infused with that irresistible wok aroma. On top of that, their prices are very affordable, and the portions are generous. I truly hope Seattle can have more hidden gems like this one!“

“Upgraded from the bar it became previously!!“

“Beef onion buns are a must try!!“

“This place is delicious. Some reviews say the food is too mild, but I tried the spicy braised beef soup and it was aromatic, beefy, spicy and full of perfectly cooked bok choi and other vegetables. I'm not Chinese so I can't speak to the authenticity, but it felt like it had real soul! The portion was ENORMOUS and very generous with the good stuff-- meat, noodles, veggies. The inside of the shop is shining clean, has a fun colorful style and lovely friendly and kind staff. Definitely bringing my kids here next time to broaden their horizons beyond ramen!!“

“Friendly staff & Very clean establishment. Delish food! We ended up getting the Xiao long bao, three nights in a row, they are so good! 🤤 the spring rolls were, some of the best I’ve had as well. Xiaolongbao House = FAVORITE restaurant in Shoreline, hands down!“

“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.“

“This Sichuan restaurant serves incredibly authentic and flavorful dishes. The spice levels are just right—bold, numbing, and satisfying. Every dish tastes like it came straight from Chengdu. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Sichuan cuisine!“

“I ordered the beef teriyaki with extra meat, came out to about $36 which, before I GOT the food, felt like a lot. But when you see what you get it feels good. The food is excellent! The box couldn't stay closed on its own, they had to tape it shut. It fed me for two days. AWESOME. Gonna go back and get more tonight!“

“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“

“Excellent soups for lunch menu!💗“

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

“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!“

“Very very solid noodles + shui jiao and congees. Almost as good as Mike’s Noodles in Seattle but better parking and easier trip. Just wished they opened earlier. Old school feel. Amazing made to order fried sesame balls! The best - you won’t regret!“

“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.“

“Ordered the tofu teriyaki and the orange tofu bowl. Was very pleased with the taste! I was worried at first seeing another reviewer who was given meat instead of tofu, but I did not have that issue. I have been looking for a good tofu teriyaki in the N Seattle area for a while and will definitely return.“

“going to go there now and order for myself“

“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)“

“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.“

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

“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 :)“

“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.“

“Chinese restaurant that has been around awhile
The fried rice was excellent and the fried shrimp, we were mixed on the honey shrimp, really sweet . The broccoli beef was cooked perfectly , not mushy .
The chow mein was lacking the pork and just MEH.
FOR $100 we got all of that and the appetizer combo.
Plenty of food for 4 people with a lunch for 1 leftover. Good portion size .“

“I over ordered and we got so much food. It was good, but not what I was expecting. They must’ve changed cooks or something because today everything tasted just a little bit
Different than it did before. The tofu chunks were bigger and the seasoning was different, just as an example.

The restaurant was packed when we got there. They are very accommodating for large groups.“

“This is my absolute favorite Chinese restaurant. Everything they have is absolutely delicious! Not for bland people though - lots of their food is spicy and their menus don't have detailed English descriptions so you'll have to come in as an adventurous eater. But if you do like actually good food, you'll be rewarded! Been here 4 times and everything we've ever gotten was mind-blowingly delicious. Their spicy boiled fish and their stir fried mushrooms are my person favorites.“

“Excellent food, big portions, and a fair price. Imperial Wok is a great mom and pop restaurant in Bothell. I'd recommend the fried crabmeat rangoons and the orange chicken which comes with rice. My only complaint is the restaurant can be a bit hot.“

“I would like to preface this by saying I am not a local; I come up from Florida 1-2 times a year to see my girlfriend. I took her here about a year or two ago for lunch and we make it a point to come back every time I'm around. This means that we only come in to eat every 6-8 months at best, and yet without missing a beat the owner recognizes us every time.

That alone is reason enough for me to want to keep coming back, but the establishment really speaks for itself. Good food, clean place, friendly staff, and quick service. I've never regretted stopping by and continue to look forward to when I get to snag a bite here, and it remains one of the highlights of my 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.“

“Great food! Love our neighborhood Chinese restaurant!“

“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!“

“This place is the BOMB! Their lunch special is unbeatable, $10.99 for a delicious entree with generous lunch portions plus soup! Hot n sour soup, Mongolian beef, and orange chicken were all absolutely amazing with fantastic flavor and spice level. Seriously my new go-to lunch place. No fast food place can beat the taste for the price. Great atmosphere and service too! Thank you for lunch today!“

“Beef onion buns are a must try!!“

“The food was delicious and fresh. The service was quick. However, I was disappointed that they burn fire candles for celebrations. The smell of the chemical used in the candles lingers for a while, which is unpleasant. They should consider using a different type of candle.“

“Amazing wontons! This place is the real deal. Worth checking out. Hope they expand out of Seattle.“

“I absolutely LOVE their soup dumplings!!! They're always filled with so much soup, with great flavor, the perfect thinness of the wrapper...thin yet so strong to hold all that yummy goodness inside!

The Q-baos also hold so much soup inside them! They always seem to have the perfect brown crisp to the bottom of them.

Love their pig ear appetizer. It's an acquired taste, but they cut it so thin; I love how chewy and flavorful this dish is!

Their noodles, soups, and other hot foods aren't the greatest, but if you're looking for an amazing soup dumpling, come to Dough Zone!!! Their service is always so quick and friendly!

I just wish parking was better at this U-district location. There isn't a designated parking lot for this place as it's on the bottom of an apartment complex. You can park across the street at the u-village parking garage“

“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🍱“

“12/25/2025, 5pm Fyi, they are 2 hours behind and don't start until you arrive. Get here in a hurry if you want to eat today. Thankful they're open! Merry Christmas.“

“been going to Silver Dragon for many years. EVERYTHING is delicious. Happy to see they survived all the COVID closures.“

“I’ve dined in as well as ordered to go. Owners are very nice and staff are friendly. They have a small dine in area, although the food is best freshly prepared it is also delicious to go. Son loves their katsu and California roll. Wanted to dine in when I heard they now have jjamppong. Glad I did, noodles were cooked perfectly, slightly al dente. Broth had a roasted/charred undertone and was not very spicy. Squid was a tad over cooked, still good just chewy. Thin slices of beef also went well with the noodles and savory broth.“

“Our favorite neighborhood restaurant. We usually eat there …appreciating the welcome and developing sense of friendship. Asian menu includes Japanese, Chinese and Korean cuisine — all delicious, served hot in generous quantity. It’s clean and comfortable, quick and convenient.“

“Excellent Dim Sum place“
