50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Seattle

“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 :)“

“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!!“

“Great food and excellent quality ingredients. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the soup was definitely the highlight. It had a rich and amazing flavor that made the meal even more enjoyable. The male waiter also provided excellent service, being very attentive and friendly throughout our visit. I would definitely come back again!“

“Great food and quick service.“

“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.😁“

“My husband introduced me to Tai Tung shortly after we were married 60 years ago. My sons grew up eating there and much later my granddaughter did too. The food is exquisite, especially shrimp in crab sauce, the service is impeccable and the ambiance is kind of old fashioned and comfortable. In fact, Tai Tung is and always has been virtually the best restaurant in Seattle.“

“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.“

“Wonderful! atmosphere and fresh 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.“

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

“Hands down my favorite Asian cuisine restaurant in the Seattle area!! Everything from the prices, the food, and the service was amazing. They gave very large portions and made sure you were taken care of. I will definitely be coming back here again soon!!“

“This Sichuan restaurant was such a pleasant surprise! We ordered the boiled beef, and dry-fried green beans, and everything was authentic and flavorful. The dishes had that perfect balance of numbing and spicy — bold but not overwhelming. The beef was tender, and the Sichuan pepper aroma really stood out. Portions were generous, and the service was friendly and efficient. Definitely coming back when I’m craving real Sichuan food!“

“Mei Mei Cafe is a fantastic hidden gem just off the main U District rush. They specialize in skewers, and the variety is excellent—you can try a bunch of different meats and veggies. The portions are generous, the prices are very student-friendly, and the food comes out hot and fast. It is the perfect cozy spot to grab a bunch of skewers with friends after class“

“ChiHo Bistro has quickly become one of my favorite spots, especially if you’re a truffle lover. You honestly can’t go wrong with anything truffle here , every dish feels rich, balanced, and thoughtfully executed without being overpowering.

The standout for me has to be the truffle XLB. Each dumpling is packed with savory broth and finished with an earthy truffle flavor that takes the entire bite to another level. It’s INCREDIBLY comforting,

The truffle fried rice is easily one of the best fried rices around. Perfectly seasoned with a deep wok flavor, every grain is flavorful without feeling heavy, and the truffle ties everything together beautifully. It’s one of those dishes you keep thinking about long after the meal is over.

Their duck is another must-order. Crispy skin, tender meat, and packed with flavor. It pairs perfectly with the richer truffle dishes and rounds out the meal so well.

Overall, ChiHo Bistro delivers a unique mix of comfort and elevated flavors. The quality, attention to detail, and balance in every dish make it a spot I’m always excited to come back to.“

“We came in here after hearing about their handmade noodles made from local Washington wheat. And we were not disappointed! We got an order of the dumplings, sesame noodles, and buckwheat noodles. And everything was really great! They can make it as spicy as you want and it's a pretty low key restaurant vibe. It's a little pricey for what it is, having spent about $35pp, but it was really good and worth it in our opinion. The golden lion mocktail was also really great.“

“xi an noodles was my favorite food“

“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.“

“Excellent soups for lunch menu!💗“

“We have come here for many years. It been awhile since we came back. We like their new menu looks like it been recently updated. We ordered our usual of: -Vietnamese Sweet & Sour Catfish Soup -Catfish in Clay Pot/Stew -Rice Today we also tried: -Crispy Oysters -Salted Fish Fried Rice -Three Color Dessert -Thai Dessert It wasn't too busy today, we got a table right away for a family of our. The servers were nice and friendly. Our desserts were bought out first, and soon after the main dishes. Our usual dishes is the tasty as usual. Our favorite as a family is the fried oysters. Our young kids liked it best with the sweet sauce (not spicy). The sizing of the oysters are large and it tasted excellent. Overall, it was a wonderful dining night with the whole family. We will be back as usual! We highly recommend this place! They got some of the dishes we love that keeps us coming back for more!“

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

“This place is only take out, very bare bones inside but the food is DELICIOUS! I had the roast pork and char siu pork were excellent. I also ordered the beef chow fun noodles and it was delicious as well. With very wide noodles. It was made fresh“

“I LOVE Fu Shen - they are my go-to Chinese spot and I don’t even mind that they’re pick up only. The food is always hot, delicious, and they staff are SO kind and friendly when they bring out your food. There are dedicated parking spots on the side of the building, so you can call ahead and by the time you arrive your food is ready. 10/10 would recommend!“

“The beef brisket quality is excellent, and the flavor is 10/10. The chicken and abalone congee really suits my taste. The Hong Kong milk tea tastes very authentic, and the satay beef rice noodles are my favorite. I highly recommend this authentic Hong Kong-style café. Every time I come to Chinatown, I make sure to stop by and eat here.“

“Loved everything about this place. They offer gf options and be sure to let your server know to swap gf soy sauce and know your noodles/and what’s battered to avoid. Items are large enough to serve family style. Speaking of family the family run business serves great hospitality as well. Sweet and sour chicken(not gf) and the pad se ew(GF) took leftovers and added tofu and egg for breakfast.“

“Dough Zone did not disappoint! I’m not sure how authentic it is, but it was a great family friendly spot, and I’d rate it 8/10. Everything we ordered was delicious, and every dish was full of flavor. The pork xiao long bao was so good that we had to order another round! 😋 Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving great dumplings and comforting Chinese food.“

“So this is pretty much my favourite ramen in the U.S. This is the first restaurant I ate at in Seattle in over ten years ago and it has never disappointed me. The broth is rich but also simple. The textures are just right. I’m a huge fan overall.“

“Youngs place was great,- the food was amazing the staff was as if I was invited to there home.. I'd like to thank the girl for the invitation and look forward to having dinner there at least once a week..😎 (Yes it was really that good)“

“Outstanding food and excellent customer service! We ordered several dishes for the table, including dumplings, sesame chicken, lo mein, and fried rice. Every single item was delicious and beautifully presented. The flavors tasted authentic and balanced, not overly salty or greasy like some places. The staff checked on us regularly and made sure our drinks stayed full. Wonderful dining experience from start to finish.“

“This place is an absolute recommend if you’re looking for authentic Chinese dishes. The wood mushrooms with black vinegar were a crunchy starter and very refreshing. I also ordered the twice cooked pork which was sweet, sour, crispy, and absolutely divine. For dessert, their sweet rice dumpling soup was soft and comforting. Overall the service was excellent, food tasted fresh, and the portions are perfect to share with friends or family!“

“This is a hole-in-the-wall type of place in Chinatown, which, in my experience, is usually the best. Gan Beo didn't disappoint. The place is just big enough for a bar and a few tables, with the kitchen in the back. The atmosphere is friendly and cozy. The bartender/hostess was very friendly and helpful. We just ordered a couple of simple dishes to go - ong choy (a.k.a. morning glory) in garlic sauce (ong choy is pretty hard to find) and fried tofu. The food was great. I'm sure they would have been even better if we ate there. Will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“My husband and I LOVE going to Ikiiki Sushi Bar—they make the BEST sushi in Seattle! It’s a hidden gem of a sushi restaurant.

Every time I go with my husband or friends, I always have a great experience thanks to the high-quality sushi, excellent and friendly service, and the comfortable atmosphere.

I enjoy many different sushi restaurants in Seattle, but I come to this one often because the sushi is consistently amazing—I’ve never been disappointed! I always look forward to coming back whenever I’m craving great sushi.

I urge you to try this sushi restaurant since they make very high-quality sushi dishes.“

“I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the best Chinese American food I've ever had. We ordered takeout and had the sesame beef, beef & broccoli, orange chicken, and sweet & sour crispy chicken which was included for free! The ingredients were high quality and prepared with care, the sauces were amazing, and there were incredible textures throughout each dish. Everything that you'd want to be crispy was crispy, everything that you'd want to be tender was tender. The beef in the beef & broccoli was so soft and juicy it basically melted in my mouth. The sesame beef was so so so so good and was my favorite. I will definitely be coming back 😋“

“I really love coming to this restaurant. The owner is incredibly friendly, and the staff are always smiling and welcoming—it just makes the whole place feel warm and comfortable.

The food is consistently delicious, and they pay great attention to details. Every time I ask for something like “no spicy,” they always get it right, which I really appreciate.

The owner is also very attentive—whenever customers need anything, he’s quick to come over and help. The service here is genuinely excellent.

This is definitely a place we come back to regularly. The prices are reasonable, and the overall value is great. Highly recommend!“

“Canton Noodle House is a solid spot if you’re craving wonton noodles. The noodles were cooked just right, and the wontons were tasty. We also tried the pork intestine dish, which was well-prepared and flavorful.

Pricing is very reasonable for the quality you get, which makes it even better. Overall, a good experience, and we’ll definitely be back for more.“

“Just had a bowl of noodles (pork and eggplant) and a beer but they were rich and delicious. Needed some food after getting in late and they delivered. The attention to detail of including some finely sliced cilantro stems for freshness, pretty legit!“

“Super friendly staff great prices and delicious food.“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“As a Cantonese person, this place hits closest to home. Probably the most authentic Cantonese restaurant in Seattle. Prices are reasonable given the quality of the food. Service is not the fastest at busy hours, but that’s to be expected.“

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

“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….“

“Beef onion buns are a must try!!“

“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.“

“Customer Service, a great selection of food, the casual layback atmostphere, enjoy the food, don’t rush. Have a good wine selection so step outside of the box and try a wine you never had before, the waiter can suggest. The prices are good, but remember the serving are large, you will not leave empty. This is a must place to go, you will enjoy it, and will come back.“

“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.)“

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

“We ordered a few items tonight and they were delicious, the chicken chow mein, the sautéed udon noodles, and the giant prawn fried rice. All amazing! My son also had the fried dumplings and spring rolls. He really enjoyed them as well. We were all happy and full. Everything was delicious, we had plenty left over, would definitely visit again.“

“The service is absolutely terrible. I would give it a negative 10 if I could. I bought two steamed buns which can perfectly fit into a paper bag. The staff put them in a plastic box without asking me so she can charge me the box fee. I told her I do not need a box and please put them in a paper bag. The staff yelled at me "Don't ever come back again!!!" It is like robbery in plain day light. They force you to purchase the plastic box you do not need. I noticed they used to have plastic plates for dining ins, but now they got rid of all the plastic plates so customers who eat in have no option but to buy their plastic boxes. This is forced sale. How Sneaky! The staff are always yelling at you and extremely rude. They are incapble of speaking normally. Definitely avoid this place.“

“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.“
