The food is overpriced, mid and small portions. Ordered beef noodle soup and was given maybe 3 slices of beef? Table does not have proper paper tissue.
The entrance is blocked off and you immediately feel unwelcome when opening the door.
The staff was nice enough but this is not a pleasant place to eat at.

Its quite small delicious. Something about having the server being the owner while ignoring you because they're busy with making fresh dumplings by hand so they can get ahead of work is beautiful and appreciated. I've been going here for 13 years now and it has its loyal fans but maybe you'd give it a try. But don't come here making trouble for this beautiful mom and pop shop. Its a simple establishment with delicious food.

Hole in the wall spot; the owners are wonderful to talk to, and the dumplings are well done — light and authentic.

It’s just fine, but there’s so much better around.

I love a divey restaurant that has incredible food. The contrast in offerings (delicious hand pulled noodle soup vs facial tissues instead of napkins) somehow makes the food taste better! The boiled peanuts were better than dry peanuts could ever hope to be. The soup was slightly spicy and the beef was tender and delightful. And the noodles were tops.

Seattle’s Chinatown is such a gem and this spot is lovely. Delicious food. Cozy no frills restaurant. Dumplings and noodles are especially good.

Solid food all around, cucumber and wood ear mushroom salad and fried rice were great. Lots of vegetarian options, the lady was attentive and checked with us to make sure we didn’t want pork in our mapo tofu.
SO good BUT🚨don’t order online! If you’re ordering for pick up: call in or order there. The prices are 30-65%+ more. For example:
Green onion pancake $7.25 v $9.39 Beef noodle soup $13.25 v chicken $17.19 Dumplings $11.45 v $18.89
I attached the online order and the actual menu for reference. I assume the price increases are to cover their software fees but still - save a bit and then tip them extra!

I always order the same thing which I can't help because it's so wonderful. The Szechuan vegetarian dumplings, the noodle vegetable with peanut sauce I think, and cake. Prices are fair it's clean it's lovely and I adore it.

Nice little mom and pop shop. I originally came in just for the beef noodles soup, but decided to also try out the XLB after reading some reviews. The XLB is certainly delicious. So juicy and flavorful, with the quality being more on par with a place like Din Tai Fung. The soup was good, but I thought it lacked a bot of flavor. If I end up here again, I will probably try the spicy version! Everything in the picture cost me about $30, including tip. (The tea is free btw ?) Worth the stop if you're in the mood for it!
