Tasty Szechuan
Dry Pot Beef Brisket with Potato Slices – So good! Love that this upscale restaurant has an open kitchen, ready to customize dishes exactly how you want. A perfect meal made just for me!
I had an issue with my order that was likely caused by the ordering app—it showed an impossible menu option that shouldn’t have been selectable. I even had screenshots proving this mistake. When I first informed the restaurant, they made me wait 10 minutes before offering two choices: wait an hour for the kitchen to clean before they’d remake my dish, or get a refund. Since it was already 8:30 PM, waiting wasn’t really an option. But then they changed their stance, saying a refund was only possible if I brought the incorrect item back inside—which was already in my car. To make things worse, they dismissed the evidence I showed them and instead told me to "be more careful with my selection next time," as if the mistake was mine. At this point, I was tired, frustrated, and just hungry, so I reluctantly agreed to try something different. Unfortunately, the food I received was greasy and not what we expected. My wife and I ended up with stomach aches afterward, making the experience even worse. After all that back-and-forth, I wasted $26 on food we could barely eat. Mistakes happen, but the way a business handles them is just as important as the food they serve. In this case, the lack of accountability, dismissive attitude, and poor customer service made this a truly disappointing experience.
Dough Zone Dumpling House Overlake
I went to Dough Zone with my husband, and it was such a great experience! We started off with the herbal tea, which was a nice touch. The xiao long bao were amazing—so full of soup, yet the skin was super thin and didn’t break at all. I was impressed! Eating them the proper way with a soup spoon is definitely a must (haha). The Q Bao (pan-fried dumplings) were also incredible. The bottoms were crispy and fragrant—I felt like I could eat a dozen of them! It’s not just about dim sum here, either. They have a variety of side dishes, and I’m already planning to try more next time. The restaurant was clean and had a fresh feel. You just mark what you want on the order sheet and hand it to the server—super easy. Service was smooth, and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely coming back!
Fairly busy place even early in the evening. A quick scribble on the order sheet and a few minutes of wait and the warm delicious food was on the table. The wait staff aaa very busy and didn't seem too thrilled to answer any questions on the menu. So a bit of a gamble on what we ordered, but all good. saw people order frozen dumplings to take home. Will try those next time.
Shaoshan Impression
But a restaurant is this clean? They can keep the lights up; bright airy, almost opulent. I watched local families nuzzle each other and feed their children. Details matter; a hot tea carafe waiting at table, a friend to friend tone in the server’s warning about spiciness, a table dish warmer, a tea carafe swap out. Two kinds of fiery dishes; and warnings were necessary. Not panic attack hot but you may experience adrenaline feast mode. Great spot.
3rd time we tried Sichuan cold noodles, 黄花鱼, and A菜. 2nd time dinner today we were lucky to get seats early before 6pm. waiting time was about 20mins for two people on a Friday night. Again the service staffs were friendly and prompt even though they were very busy. The wait staffs were the most hardest workers I’ve ever seen and hope they are paid well. They do all the cleaning and bring water to the tables. We ordered 毛氏红烧肉,湖南肉泡饭 recommended for not spicy和茄子刀豆 were all good 😊 The new Hunan restaurant is indeed a quite unique among many already in Bellevue. The service is prompt and friendly. The staffs all work tirelessly. Beef noodles - beef is somehow tasteless but I love the thin noodles. Stinky tofu with hot source is very crispy and tasty good. Most dishes are all with the right amount of salt and not too oily. Though the quantity is on the less side. Also the fish with hot source on the burner is also very good
Frying Fish
Great place to grab an economical meal that is tasty. Portions are good and some favorite dishes are smoked duck that is juicy and tender, lamb in spicy gravy sauce had a nice portion of meat that is spicy and tender. Didn't love any of the dry pots (house special chili dishes) we ordered there, frog or beef. FeiTeng roasted fish was not worth $60.
We came here specifically to try the '水煮鱼片' that is called 'Sole Fish Fillets' in this chinese restaurant. First impression wasn't that great because the fish slices are heavily coated with too much flour; altering the texture and taste of this dish. We'll probably visit this place again to re-validate this dish. Hopefully, next visit will be better since this is one of our favorite fish dishes. Food aside, this restaurant is spacious, and feels clean. Service is friendly and prompt as well.
Mr. Max Breakfast
Order by QR code and quick service. Best deal is the congee that you can refill yourself. We also got their cucumber appetizer (with cumin), beef pancake and tofu soup. However all were quite oily. I’d just go back for the bottomless congee. Their live edge bench seating is easy for big groups or family.
Extremely delicious. I wanted to try everything. I ate too much! 😄
Cocotree Chef 椰林小厨
Was hungry when I went to the AFM to shop so I decided to give it a try. I didn’t have high expectation as there hasn’t been a good Hainanese chicken place in the Seattle-Bellevue area that tastes closer to home. But I have to say that I’m impressed with this place. The chicken is exceptionally tender and crispy at the same time. Pictures don’t do it justice!! If I can give additional points, the green sauce is on point! We bought chicken rice and chicken soup. Good aroma, texture, and portion size. The soup is super high quality, definitely worth the price! I also got the coconut jelly which I have been craving for since the only place that sold this closed down a long time ago. But this is a hidden gem. If there is anything they should improve is the wait time, but it’s probably because there are so many online orders which I should have done before hand. Definitely will come back.
Tried their Shredded Chicken with Lime and it was a total surprise hit! Light, zesty, and super refreshing , the lime adds the perfect tang to the tender chicken. Honestly, I came for the Hainanese chicken rice (which is amazing), but this dish deserves just as much love. It’s the kind of flavor that wakes up your taste buds without being too heavy. So glad I gave it a try , will definitely order it again!
The Northern Dumplings
I’ve been here many times and it’s always a solid go-to! The Sweet & Sour Fried Pork is my absolute favorite — crispy, tender, and packed with flavor. The scallion pancake is perfectly flaky and not greasy, and the cilantro beef is super fragrant and satisfying, especially with the chili seasoning. The self-ordering system is convenient, and the environment is clean and welcoming. Just a heads-up — the food prep time can be a bit inconsistent, especially during busy hours, but it’s usually worth the wait. If you’re craving hearty, flavorful Northern Chinese dishes, this place is definitely worth checking out!
Crispy fish is super delicious and fresh. I really love it!
Food Times 小食代
Came here to also comment on the preposterous tip sign. You can see the name of their restaurant in the lower hand corner. Restaurant obviously caught in a lie in the other response to a customer.
Great food right near the crossroads mall
Nai Brother Chinese Sauerkraut Fish
Their soups are spicy and delicious. They have non-spicy options as well. Also, portions are big at a very fair price. I totally recommend it here if you want to try too notch food that is comforting. The atmosphere is very casual, service is super fast and the establishment is really clean.
The fish is really delicious. My kid love the tomato flavor
Sanyoung Surf & Turf BBQ 三羊开炭
Reasonably priced, very clean. You can order via a digital menu. Wait wasn't long to be seated (though we made reservations). There's a cute little private room you can sit in as well. Food took quite a while to arrive and was pretty salty but was still okay. Menu doesn't have much in the way of veggies. We received gizzards instead of chicken heart for one of our orders.
Restaurant is clean and well-decorated. Plenty of natural lighting and eye pleasing wall decorations. Fast and friendly service. You can order by scanning a QR code from your table and food will arrive once you place your order from your phone. Plenty of skewer and Chinese hot dish options. Their skewers are really flavorful and full of spices. Most of the ones we ordered, such as grilled ribeye and chicken skin are a bit spicy but I love the spice and flavor. They have a hot plate for each table to keep the skewers warm and bucket to place the skewer sticks. They have plenty of other Chinese dish and would love to come back the try them. Plenty of parking space around the restaurant.
So Tasty
Two words: Egg tarts!! They were the unexpected highlight of our visit. It was lucious, pillowy, and melt-in-your-mouth good. I think they came right out of the oven and was served right after our meal. I honestly and genuinely didn’t know egg tarts could taste that good. The fried chicken was also good - fresh, juicy, and crispy. Overall a great experience and one I would be willing to make the drive from Seattle to.
Tried this spot today and it was such a pleasant surprise! The beef rice plate was super flavorful, and the soft-boiled egg and garlicky greens were a perfect combo. We also got takoyaki, some juicy fried chicken, and a crispy chicken cutlet rice plate — everything was freshly made and packed with flavor. The drinks were refreshing too. Overall, delicious food with generous portions. Would totally come back!

Finally, I got a chance to try this place out after passing by it a few times. It's a pretty neat style of cooking, where they place the ingredients in a pot and slowly cook it (dry pot style). Once it's almost ready, the server will mix in the special sauces. We ordered a couple of pots, one medium level spice, and one without spice. The medium spicy was a prie-fixe menu - Family Combo and the other one we picked the items. The food was pretty good and it was a good new experience.
Visited shortly after the restaurant reopened following a forced closure due to food safety issues. Despite being a weekend, we were the only customers for the entire hour we were there. The shrimp tasted off and unfortunately caused diarrhea after returning home. Given the recent health code violations and our experience, I cannot recommend this establishment.
