Szechuan Restaurants in Seattle, WA

“Best dumplings outside of china.“

“Very flavorful and delicious food located conveniently next to light rail station. The low rating at this restaurant feels inaccurate, because everything we ordered came hot and fresh, packed with flavor, very well seasoned. The cumin toothpick lamb was delicious and spicy, Sweet and sour glazed pork and mapo tofu were perfect. We also ordered the green beans that had great charred flavor, and the garlic eggplant was cooked perfectly. Service was also very prompt, they refilled water as soon as it was empty and also gave us extra napkins without us even having to ask. The restaurant was very peaceful inside and we were able to sit down and eat within a reasonable amount of time for a Saturday night. Please come here, you will not regret it!“

“This feels like a hidden gem? The food and service were good. We had complimentary hot tea, hard to enjoy on a warm day but welcomed. I ordered the garlic eggplant, water boiled fish, and one of the lamb dish that had onions. Everything came out so delicious and as I expected from previous sichuanese restaurant experiences. The food is served family style on a large plate with one serving spoon. It can be difficult to eat the food with chopsticks as it gets oily real quick but they provide a spoon upon request. I would love to come back as often as possible if I were closer. It's also pretty affordable for the amount of food received.“

“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!“

“First visit. Had reservation for one of the later slots on Christmas Eve. Although the restaurant was busy, the table was ready and chairs had Santa-themed covers, which was a nice touch. Server was efficient and took order in a timely manner, and food came out hot, fresh, and surprisingly quick, but server definitely had her hands full. The food was delicious. Be sure to get some spicy soup dumplings.... yummy, and I was told they are the 'best' ones. That said, I'll try the others on future visits. The duck was notably delicious, as was the sauteed bok choy, which was more than enough for four people to share. Our party also ordered the fried tofu, which was refreshingly light-fried and non-greasy. Also got a shrimp and noodle dish that was good, but we either received the veggie version... I don't remember seeing shrimp (or finding any) as I ate, but noodles were still good and it would take a lot more than that for me to have complained on Christmas Eve (or any other night, really). All the food was delicious and served quickly. Looking forward to the next opportunity for me to eat there.“

“awesome food. filled to the brim, worth the drive from Kent! the service was attentive and kind. food got out quick and when they say it's spicy. boy do they mean it! 5/5!“

“Went here for Valentine's Day at 9 pm, about a 15-30 min wait, they gave my girl a rose when we sat down. There are SO many options for broth, meat, vegetables, tons of seafood and tofu options. It took us at least 15 mins to decide what we wanted. No cold desert options after 9 pm. Still gave us the free soft serve at the end though.
If it's your first time, highly recommend basic bone broth/spicy broth duo, pork and beef combo ring, cabbage, yam sticks, dumplings, udon noodles. For just broth n meat and no extras, expect to spend about $30-$40 total. All extras cost about $4.50-$12.
Highly recommend the fried rice cakes for desert.
For sauce bar, mix peanuts, peanut/sesame paste, a little chilli oil, a little oyster or hoisin sauce, green onions, cilantro, with a little soy sauce, (optionally add vinegar).
The servers don't check up on you too much after ordering unless it's to refill your broth. You can take everything leftover home, including broth for round 2 at home. 10/10 highly recommend.“

“Wonderful! atmosphere and fresh food!“

“What a find? We had diner at Tyger Tyger Saturday night. Started off with the hand rolled pork wontons. Was a great way to start our meal. We tried the Tyger Tyger Fried Rice, Rockfish with Sour Mustard Greens, Chili Cumin Beef and rounded out our meal with the Wok Blistered Asparagus and the Greens with Walnut and Bacon. WOW what a taste sensation. Favorite…. The Rockfish and Blistered Asparagus. Was very easy to order, the food was ready when we came to pick it up with utensils included. Pick up was all staged in accordance to the social distance guidelines and staff was very polite and accommodating. Can’t wait for the drink menu to become available. Cheers!“

“Seattle's BEST Chinese food. 1 star off on service is bc food does come in slow so probably not a good choice if u are already really starving. however, u literally taste they make everything from scratch.
one more time, this place is Seattle's BEST CHINESE FOOD.“

“Went on a Sat afternoon. Place was not very busy but it took a bit to get seated. Had to ask for paper menus.

Picked one safe dish and one new dish. Worth it! We got the pumpkin fried with salted egg yolks and some vegetarian noodles.“

“We are always surprised how underrated this place is. It's our go to spot after visiting the zoo. Dim Sum/ Cantonese-styled dishes: we love it! the price is also very reasonable. The decor & atmosphere is a little dated.. but with the food & the price: I'll still 100% down on this place!“

“Absolutely delicious! Going back tomorrow!“
