50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Mountlake Terrace

“My son asked for water bowl for our pup. They would not take money for it. Then we both wanted food and got chicken bowls that were perfect. The lady brought them outside to us with a bowl of chicken for our pup. She was amazingly friendly. The food was great. Give this place a try. Hope you have itas good as well both did. We will be back.“

“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. :)“

“BUSSS better than most jianbingguozi I've had mainly because the outer egg layer is very crispy/thin enough

The fillings are also really good my fave being the youtiao/chinese donut and the roast duck, was obsessed with a time and went like 3 times in 2 weeks :,)“

“Great food and quick service.“

“This is my go-to teriyaki spot! I usually get the chicken teriyaki, and it’s always delicious and grilled perfectly. The portions are generous, and the food is consistently fresh and satisfying. The owner is absolutely wonderful—she’s so kind, personable, and always makes you feel welcome. If you’re looking for a great teriyaki place, I highly recommend this spot. Definitely one of my favorites!“

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

“It’s a hidden gem. Very comfy Chinese food. Great portions and reasonable prices. Approximately $1 per dumpling. Can’t find that price and quality in Seattle.

I enjoyed the pork shrimp dumpling and my vegan wife enjoyed the mushroom and cabbage dumplings. We will drive back from Seattle again“

“xi an noodles was my favorite food“

“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!“

“Yes they do review farm for a free drink, but I genuinely thought the food was delicious and great value and portion.

The shrimp fried rice was tasty and fillings, and the fried skewers definitely satisfied the craving we had. The staff were so nice and attentive as well. We will be back“

“This was our first time visiting, and we were really impressed with the food, especially the beef brisket and seafood combination clay pots we ordered. Both dishes were absolutely delicious and exceeded our expectations!

We didn’t expect the food to be this authentic at a Chinese-American restaurant, but everything tasted incredibly authentic and flavorful. The owner was also extremely nice and welcoming. Our water was always refilled on time, and they regularly checked in to make sure everything was good.

We’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend giving this place a try!“

“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.“

“Beef onion buns are a must try!!“

“Xiaolongbao House,

Are any of the tofu or vegetable dishes vegan? (Containing no beef, pork, chicken, fish, fish oil, oyster sauce, shrimp, scallops, chicken broth, lard, egg, or honey)

Thank you for your help.“

“We had nice dinner here. The parking was easy, the service was courteous. We ordered smocked duck with tea flavor, spicy beef hot pot, dry fried beans, glazed sticky rice cakes. The duck was very flavorful and tasty, I think the duck was marinated for overnight; the beef hotpot was all good and delicious, except the cauliflower was bit harder to chew; the beans were nice and crispy. Overall we're very satisfied with the food here.“

“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.“

“Excellent soups for lunch menu!💗“

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

“Seeing we were Asians the server immediately and politely informed us that it's American Chinese fusion food just in case we were expecting traditional Chinese food. To his surprise we really enjoyed the lunch. The portion was big and Chef Liao's cooking had wok hei.“

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

“This establishment only does take-out food service. It's my favorite Chinese food spot in Seattle. It reminds me of spots back home in NYC. The owner is very kind, friendly - wonderful customer service (feels rare in the PNW).

I highly recommend this spot.“

“I’ve been coming here for as long as I can remember and it’s still my favorite Chinese food I’ve ever had. Before it was Chiang’s it was called China Harbin in the eighties and before that it was a Pizza Hut, hence its architectural shape. Ordering off both the American Chinese Menu as well as the traditional Chinese Menu is a must. Highly recommend their hot and sour soup, housemade noodles, scallion pancakes, Chinese greens, and salt and pepper prawns. My son ate an entire tray of noodles to himself. Also kind of a bonus their fortune cookies are the best— both in taste and the fortune itself. My fortune was on point.“

“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.“

“Cute homey space with flavorful food and unique Xinjiang dishes, and warm service. You feel the care in the food. Large variety of dishes makes it great for a group lunch outing. Standouts are the spiced lamb meat pie, and cilantro beef appetizer. I bought their green pepper chili oil to take home, and it's seriously good on everything! Mala numbing feeling and depth of flavor.“

“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.“

“Just delicious food! And, I thought the staff was very friendly and courteous. The establishment was clean and I will be returning to order food from them soon!“

“going to go there now and order for myself“

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

“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.“

“Great food I love the scenery great date night“

“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.“

“This teriyaki place puts other teriyaki places in the area TO SHAME.
Oh my god. They make the best spicy teriyaki I’ve tried so far here. I actually requested for super spicy, and they went far and beyond and made sure it was the spiciest that I liked. The person at the counter was so sweet and nice. He was not dismissive nor rude by any means. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone craving teriyaki in all of Everett. I’ve had many spicy teriyakis, and this place is gold. Thank you for making my experience wonderful and making my food so good! All I have to say is. If you love spicy food, they will deem it for you, and are really well with it. Can I also mention, I’ve worked in the food industry for years, and they make their rice down the a T! Perfect rice texture! Not too wet or dry! Thanks again!“

“I was craving dumplings and once we arrived we could not decide what to eat .. EVERYTHING LOOKS AMAZING! We ended up getting 4 orders of dumplings, the chow mein and a couple drinks. Everything was so good. Pictures do not do this place justice it’s beyond the picture it’s the taste of real authentic Chinese food. They perfected the craft and don’t hold back on seasoning / flavor. (Thankfully) Definitely coming back again, thank you for an awesome and tasty experience !!“

“For those complaining there’s no where to eat inside… that’s the point. No one wants to clean up after your rice all over the table and floor. The owners are too friendly and nice to deal with you. Plus, food tastes better in the comfort of your own home! Try their salt and pepper tofu and orange chicken.“

“I live rather close to this hidden gem and decided to try it this week. I placed a large takeout order for pick up later and my order was ready promptly and was nice and hot! My partner and I especially loved the General Tso's Tofu and the Pan Fried Turnip Cake. The atmosphere looked immaculate when I went to pick up my order, I can't wait to dine in next time!“

“I have lived in Seattle for a while and I have yet to find a restaurant as good as little duck. The price to portions that you get are otherworldly for Seattle. A bowl of rice per person, and a all of the mains you can split with one person. I would get one meat one vegetable for 2-3 people, and two meat one vegetable for 4 people.

The Mapo tofo, Twice cooked pork, hot and spicy chicken, and stir fried potatoes eggplant and green peppers are my favorite dishes.

This is a truly special hole in the wall restaurant, that I will be coming back to for many years to come. I could not give higher praise to a restaurant in Seattle.“

“I will definitely recommend Happy Crab. Was invited to Happy Crab for casual business lunch today. When I first see its Signature name, I knew it couldn’t be wrong. I love their decoration and sea views. Very romantic and elegant restaurant. The food was served quick and all flavors are delicious as well as creative. It is lucky to get the chance to meet the owner Lily, she has great personality. Great smile, being honest & adorable. I admire what Happy Crab said: Life is a journey, happiness is a choice, and every meal is a celebration. I wish every guest is happy in Happy Crab.“

“🥰🥰sushi、 ramen、Hibachi，Chinese wok“

“I love Sichuan pepper 🌶, it's the perfect kind of spicy + numbing that makes you want to eat more and more. The dry pot chicken is amazing, a must try for anyone chasing the burn. The general tso chicken was also a delight, crispy and flavorful.“

“Beef onion buns are a must try!!“

“I ordered the KungPao chicken lunch special with fried rice and hot and shoup. Aside from being super affordable, the taste was great too! The fried rice surprised me the most. It had a really good taste and is pretty authentic. The hot and sour soup was a perfect mix of sour and salty. The kungpao chicken is good too. Next week, I'll try the garlic chicken.

P.S: the owner is friendly too.“

“I just came to Seattle for vacation and was suddenly in mood for good chicken teriyaki. I searched and found this store and drove 15 miles. Oh my god. It’s a gem. Really this is probably one of the top most teriyaki I ever had. I own restaurant and I a am foodie. I guarantee this quality of just a simple teriyaki is not easy to get in top class sushi joints also. Humble setup and awesome food. Even the tempura and roll was good too. The boba tea wasn’t that great but who cares.“

“HUGE PORTION, AFFORDABLE PRICE. I usually get combo B, black bean noodles with sweet n sour pork. Noodles is so good with the sauce!! Pork is crispy but the sauce a bit too sweet. Only 1 lady work in the front but she is very friendly. Hard to find a cheap place like this“

“beautiful little place with Amazing food, super friendly owners. absolutely loved it here.“

“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🍱“

“This place is a must-try if you’re in King County. It’s family-owned, and you can tell — the food comes out with genuine care and quality that a lot of bigger chains just can’t match.

The portions are massive. We ordered Mongolian beef, General Tso’s chicken, kung pao chicken, chicken fried rice, and hot and sour soup — and every single dish came out piled high. The prices absolutely do not match how much food you get. Come hungry, and honestly, come prepared with containers because you’re taking food home no matter what.

Flavor-wise, everything was on point — the Mongolian beef and General Tso’s chicken were both perfectly balanced between savory and sweet, the kung pao chicken had great heat and crunch from the peanuts, and the fried rice was packed with flavor. The hot and sour soup deserves a special mention too — we devoured it before we even thought to snap a photo, that’s how good it was.

If you want authentic, generous, well-priced Chinese food from a family that clearly cares about what they’re putting out, this is the spot.“

“THE FOOD IS THE BEST! I LOVE HOW THEY PUT YOUR FOOD ON A SHELL QUALITY TRAY AND THE DESIGNS INSIDE THE PLACE. THERE IS ALSO A BATHROOM IN THE PLACE TOO. THE RESTAURANT IS HECKA SMALL BUT I HAVE TO SAY THE CONDITION IN THE BATHROOM IS ALRIGHT, NOT THE BEST AND SMALL. ORDER A BANH MI FROM THE LARGE SELECTION IN THE MENU.“

“Super friendly staff great prices and delicious food.“

“Manna has the best Teriyaki and Korean in town, maybe even the whole Puget sound region!

Manna is family owned, run and operated, and they genuinely care about the quality of their food and the happiness of their customers. This place is a gem of the Seattle area and I hope they can continue serving great food and service for years to come.“

“I get my Little Ting's food from their Greenwood location. I've ordered from Little Ting's twice, and both times I've been very satisfied with the food I got! The potstickers and buns (northern-style dumplings) are delicious--I particularly like the pork and Napa cabbage potstickers. They send small containers of chili oil and soy sauce to use on the dumplings, and this is a great addition! If you're a vegetarian, there are veggie options for the dumplings (don't know if it's vegan but it's definitely vegetarian). It's wonderful to have an authentic dumpling shop in the neighborhood! I'll be back. A lot. Highly recommended!!! (If you want to order delivery, you can order via DoorDash.)“
