50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Seattle

“One of the most interesting and flavorful combinations in the Seattle area. Amazing“

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

“We came here after the Lake City Summer Festival parade yesterday — it was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a delicious meal. I’ve been here before and loved the grilled live tilapia. This time we tried the Boiling Fish, beef brisket, and green peppercorn chicken — everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The owner’s family was also helping out with serving, cashiering, and cleaning, which gave the place a really warm, homey feeling. A great experience as always!“

“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!“

“service was very extremely welcoming and prompt. My first time here and I was craving Chinese food - I Ordered takeout which was promptly delivered hot in compostable and biodegradable takeout containers. No chopsticks or napkins offered. I ordered the egg rolls and prawn dumplings. I thought my appetizers lacked flavor; I couldn’t taste any prawns or the pork. I was so sad, but I would go back and try something else one more time….“

“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.)“

“Great food and quick service.“

“This bowl of wonton noodles was such a pleasant surprise! The broth is light yet flavorful, with a subtle bone aroma that keeps you coming back for more. The wontons are plump and tender, with perfectly seasoned filling that melts in your mouth. The noodles are springy and not overcooked, adding a satisfying chew. Topped with scallions, fresh greens, and a splash of chili oil, the flavors are elevated without being overpowering. Everything is well-balanced, making it a warm, comforting, and fulfilling bowl of classic Chinese goodness. Definitely worth trying!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 !“

“xi an noodles was my favorite food“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good food affordable and friendly staff …“

“Although hot pot is known for their meats, Chengdu Memory is incredibly accommodating for vegans. All the soups have a meat base, including the mushroom, BUT you can request it with a water base instead. Additionally, waiters will double check and ask you if you have any dietary restrictions ALONG with the menu having a dietary restriction option! I’d recommend Chengdu because of how helpful the staff are and the abundance of tofu and veggie options. You can also eat with your Omni friends since they can give you split broths!

“Authentic Chinese. As authentic as it gets.Real deal hand made noodles.“

“Aunthentic Chinese Mandarin food NOT Americanized Prepare to be surprised & pleased!“

“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.“

“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!“

“TLDR: strong plate of food inside a dark plaza with friendly serviceWe ordered a pork rice plate to share and though the piece of pork was a bit thin, it was well cooked and flavorful. The broken rice helped absorb the flavors of the meat and the fish sauce. The small soup was great on a cold day as well.“

“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.😁“

“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!“

“Very nice folks run this place! They are always so happy and kind! Great energy here! Great food! So delicious! Quick service and good prices for how much food they give you!

Parking: Has its own lot, but there are only a few spots. It's such a good place to eat that it's always full! :)

Kid-friendliness: Could not be more friendly! Not just with children, but everyone, including my service dog!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for people in need of one.“

“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“

“Wonderful! atmosphere and fresh food!“

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

“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 !“

“Excellent soups for lunch menu!💗“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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)“

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

“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.“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“One of my preferred locations for delicious Chinese food. I wanted to post a food pic but it looked so good I couldn't stop. Definitely worth a return trip. Prices were average for the menu. Food is like a restaurant in Louisville I loved.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing, fresh, quick food and awesome service. So glad we went in!!“
