“Best dim sum and ramen! My son could not believe what he was eating! We love their food and friendly service and cannot wait to go back. We drive down from two counties north! It’s a worthwhile pilgrimage.“

“Ordered for a friend of mine and it was really nice to be able to get them vegetables because they never like the salad and my friend was really impressed! I even liked the takeout menu. Had an option to have sauce on the side. That’s a big deal.“

“Genuinely the BEST chicken katsu I've ever had! I ordered online and had to call the restaurant back just to tell them how fantastic it was! Perfectly tender and juicy chicken, and the breading was so light and crispy. Absolutely recommend this! It was a perfect lunch to tie me over for my 12hr shift! Thank you guys! Can't wait to try your other options. I'll absolutely be back!“

“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 :)“

“Great food and quick service.“

“The scallion pancakes were flaky and delicious! Best I'd had in decades. The wonton soup broth was tasty, delicious, and light, wontons full with chicken. The steamed bun dough was airy and flavorful, right proportion of dough to filling. Plan on methodically tasting everything on their menu!“

“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.“

“Exceptional Group Dining Experience at Asian Kitchen!

We recently ordered a large group meal from Asian Kitchen in Shoreline, and the entire experience was outstanding. The ordering process was smooth and efficient, with staff who were friendly, responsive, and incredibly accommodating to our dietary preferences and portion needs.

The food arrived fresh, beautifully packaged, and bursting with flavor. Every dish—from the savory beef chow fun to the perfectly crisp walnut shrimp—was a hit with our group. The variety was impressive, and the quality was consistent across the board. Even the tofu dish had layers of texture and seasoning that surprised and delighted us!

What really stood out was the attention to detail and the generous portions. It felt like they truly cared about making our gathering special. If you're planning a group meal or catering event, Asian Kitchen is a top-tier choice. We'll definitely be ordering again!
BTW: I can't find a place where I can upload the picture for the meal ordered.“

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

“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.“

“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.😁“

“A casual Chinese savory crepe place. No dine in available temporarily. Currently to go order only. Order using the tablet and wait. Supposed to receive the text message when ready, though did not get the message this time. BBQ pork crepe was amazing. Crawfish was okay. Will add vegetables as extra next time. One order comes with two crepes. Plenty of food.“

“We have been going to the Edmonds location for over 7 years! We love their food! It’s a great spot and kids are welcome. Here are some of our favorites: The egg and chive dumplings OR the entree, The colorful salad, their fresh noodles in the chow mein are super good as well, and the accompaniment foods. My husband regularly orders a big order of the Spicy noodle salad and divides it up for the weeks lunches!! The LFP location is a great spot to get quick food and I order them on Uber Eats! Bonus!! My only wish would be the Edmonds full menu also being on a delivery service.“

“Noah made our first experience here unbeatable. He explained everything well, lighthearted, and provided tons of entertainment. I really enjoyed his attitude and felt he brought the experience up a level. This is in addition to the good food and available options. Very delicious and great atmosphere as well, I was really impressed with the decoration. But Noah really stole the show. Cheers Noah!“

“The people here are sooo nice they always show a lot of kindness and the food is ALWAYS incredible. I looove to get the kung pao chicken which is always perfect and the chicken fried noodles are the best. the pan fried dumplings are also a staple. the green beans also are excellent and all the portions are huge!!! everything always tastes fresh and delicious. 😋 not all the food i mentioned is pictured!“

“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.“

“fresh ingredients and a flavorful Chinese-style seasoning. The offal is cooked to the right texture—tender and not overdone—while the sauce is rich, savory, and well-balanced. It pairs very well with steamed rice and is a great choice for those who enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine. Overall, it is a satisfying and hearty dish.“

“xi an noodles was my favorite food“

“Beef onion buns are a must try!!“

“Excellent soups for lunch menu!💗“

“Wonderful! atmosphere and fresh food!“

“Fantastic meal and experience!! Closed for dining, but opened for us (visiting from NC) and we enjoyed the best Chinese dinner and sweet hospitality!“

“1st time I experienced this place. OMG .we already fallen love with thir food and service 😍 meal we pay is worthier than expected. Kind and friendly service also attracts the people. What ever pictures you see in this website is really true. Once you step in you'll understand and experienced what I'm saying. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I hope they'll never stop this service forever. Thank you 🙏“

“Pleasantly surprised with Mount & Bao in Lynnwood! I’ve visited the location in Greenlake one time before but didn’t know they had a few other spots.

This location had easy parking out front and was well decorated for the holiday season. We were seated immediately as it was after lunch hour.

I came with a group of three and ordered the shrimp shumai, salt and pepper wings, honey walnut shrimp, Mongolian beef, spring rolls, and xiaolongbao. Portion sizes were very generous that we even had leftovers, which is always a win.

Standout dishes for us were the salt and pepper wings (lots of wings, super flavorful and crispy), honey walnut shrimp, and Mongolian beef. Everything came out hot and well-prepared.

To top it off, the waitress surprised us with a complimentary slice of cheesecake at the end, which was very thoughtful. Great food, solid portions, and friendly service - we’ll definitely be back!“

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

“The service here is incredible. Mama is so sweet, comes out to your car to take your order and brings it out to you when its ready.
The food is incredible. Super gooey and saucy DELICIOUS orange chicken. My partner had the house chow mein with handmade noodles and said it was insanely good.
The food is also super cheap and the portions are HUGE.
Hands down my favorite Chinese place in the city 🫶🏻“

“Everything I've tried here is fresh and delicious: Potstickers, General Tso's Chicken, Mongolian chicken, Fried Rice, Barbecue pork chow mein. All meats were fresh and tender.

Also, the staff is friendly and welcoming!“

“Great atmosphere and super friendly service! The food tastes authentic and flavorful, just like Hong Kong. The portions are generous and the price is reasonable. Loved their roast dishes and dim sum, definitely coming back again. Highly recommended!“

“going to go there now and order for myself“

“This is one of my favorite places in Seattle. The fun and creative dishes here make me think I’m in the true foodie city of Portland!
Theres something so cozy and warming about these dishes and the service has always been very attentive and kind. Highly recommend giving it a try if you’re looking for something new and flavorful!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love skewers but haven’t been able to find any quick spots in Seattle, so was excited to have stumbled onto this place!

The chicken cutlet was crispy and delicious, although the chicken skin wasn’t very crunchy at all. Definitely not the best skewers I’ve had, but it was solid and nice for a quick meal. I’ll be returning to try other skewers! Service was friendly, although it was pretty busy so took longer than we expected for our two skewers.“

“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)“

“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.“

“Super friendly staff great prices and delicious food.“

“The owners are amazing and so friendly. 😁 My dad and I always loved going here to enjoy the delicious food and great conversations with the owners for many years. Since my dad's death almost 3 years ago it has been bitter sweet visiting this restaurant again with so many great memories. One day I hope to return because I miss the great food and even better friendly conversations with the owners as we enjoyed our meal. My dad and I always ordered Sizzling Rice Soup to share, Almond or Lemon Chicken and Mongolian Beef or Triple Delight. Every time we came the owners knew what we wanted to eat. 😁“

“Food is quite decent and generous portions for the price.

Definitely a plus they have parking here.

Service wasn't bad in the usual sense, but the guy working the counter seemed like he was maybe family filling in or something, it just seemed like he never worked at a restaurant before.“

“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🍱“

“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.“

“Told the owner who was working the counter that I was going through chemotherapy and needed a recommendation on something mild and easy on the stomach. He did a great job picking something out for me, someone who is not an adventurous eater. He chose garlic chicken w/ green beans. Never tried anything like it and I thought it was great! It was very easy on my stomach. 11/10, will be going there all the time while I’m in treatment.“

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

“The best egg foo Young I have ever tasted! Every meal I’ve eaten at the Great China Restaurant was above average by far. I highly recommend this restaurant. You won’t be disappointed, and buy a key chain or a hoody while you’re there.“

“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!“

“Great food! Love our neighborhood Chinese restaurant!“

“xi an noodles was my favorite food“

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