Chinese Restaurant

We tried several dishes at Dough Zone, and I have to say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The Sweet & Sour Cucumber was hands down my favorite—crunchy, fresh, and the perfect way to start the meal. The Vegetable Potstickers were okay, not the standout of the evening but still decent. The Pan Fried Pork Buns were perfectly steamed and had a great balance of flavor. I also loved the Green Onion Pancake—crispy, flaky, and delicious. We ended our dinner with the Dan Dan Noodles, which were absolutely perfect—warm, comforting, and flavorful, tying the whole experience together beautifully. Despite the restaurant being jam-packed due to an event at the convention center, the food was impressively fresh and flavorful. The service was fast, the staff was polite and attentive, and the prices were super reasonable. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommended!

A classic Seattle meal. I’ve been to both this location and international district, they are consistently and delicious every time. When we walked in it was super busy (a convention happening across the street) we were told it would be about 10 minutes before we were seated but it was maybe 5. Our food came quickly, staff were friendly and helpful. Even talked us into dessert! All of their dumplings are amazing but the soup dumplings (served in a steamer basket) are definitely a favorite. The selection of teas is also worth a try, they are yummy and satisfying with or without a big meal.

Great selection of chinese entrees. Self-service and pay by the pound $10. I got a full plate for $13 and it was great. Nice place for quick bite 👍

Yum! Great place for lunch! All the food iv tried has great flavor and you get to serve yourself. The guy is always so friendly. Quick grab and go.

So we tried to come last night with 10 people and no reservation, and it would have been an 1.5 hour wait. Well, today, everyone went home and we stayed and got seated right at our reservation time. We are not dumpling experts, but the wait staff helped tremendously. We didn't eat heavy because we just weren't sure, plus we wanted ice cream after. We got the cucumber salad, garlic green beans, crab/pork soup dumplings, and spicy pork and vegetable wontons. So tasty that we're going to come back this weekend to try the other dishes.

Loved the dining experience. Was here on a Monday evening, looks like the only time when there’s not much waiting or crowd inside. Had the chicken Xiao long bao or soup dumplings, and noodles with sesame sauce and peanuts. Dumplings were good, would have loved them to have a little more filling. Didn’t like the noodles though, as the sesame sauce and peanuts made it taste weird. Staff were inviting, especially Vince who explained everything so well, and helped me with my order.

It’s everything you want. Fat noodle. Handmade. Perfect chili oil. Hot oil bianbiang: 11/10

Got the lamb noodles with soup, amount of lamb was pretty good for the price point in downtown. I do think University District is slightly better in terms of taste. Many people here are relating this outlet to NYC Xian foods but both aren’t related. For Seattle its a good, clean atmosphere.

10 of us arrived right at opening and we had an absolute blast seeing what dishes Dumpling the Noodle had to offer. Every dish was a banger from the beef pancakes to the surprisingly well done pecking duck. Do not over order here! The portions are generous and surprised us. We each went home with another meal's worth of leftovers.

Genuinely wasn’t prepared to have my socks absolutely blown off by how good this place was. The atmosphere is super fun, very intimate. But the food? Goodness gracious, what a treat. Every item was delicious, made with love and was so delectable, I’m still thinking about it the next day. The chili oil was so good, I wanted to drink it straight, the dumplings and noodles were so delicious, I found myself scraping the bowl. As a long time foodie, it’s rare to be blown away and find a new favorite place to eat, but I’m already planning my next trip back! As a vegan, this place has a very clear menu and the mock duck was so good, I almost had to double check it wasn’t real meat!

We had a opportunity to try the this hidden gem after change of ownership. It is a phenomenal Chinese restaurant that has a full menu of Chinese American food and top-notch chef that is preparing an authentic Chinese dishes menu. On top of the traditional dishes, they also make dim sum on site. Unlike a lot of restaurants, this one offers plenty of free parking and is conveniently located to the south of the zoo. Our go to place after a zoo visit in future!

I'm so glad I don't have to go all the way to CID for good dimsum/Chinese food anymore! The exterior leaves a bit to be desired which is why it took me years to even consider trying this place but I've been very pleasantly surprised by their dimsum and dinner stir fry dishes like Singapore noodles and Mongolian beef. Their dimsum is yummy and doesn't skimp on filling.

My long time favourite Taiwan restaurant changed to a new Chinese restaurant, which is of good quality . Under new management by young couple from Shandong, they are polite and always wear smile. Their mapo tofu is definitely "rice theif", spicy but not burning, my daughter doesn't eat carbs during dinner, but we keep ordering white rice for it. Their string beans are fresh n sweet, they use a bit chillies and vinegar to enhance the favour. Other dishes are good enough to attract customers back. We love the dessert a lot, lightly sweetened with brown sugar source. All the dumplings are handmade by the chef, Iooking forward to come and try next time. P.S. we finally tried their Xiao Long Bao, and they are good too, springy warpping that can hold the meat juice. Latest update: 8th Dec 2024 I stopped by a few times, but seems they closed for almost 3 weeks recently. Today I stopped by again, finally meet a staff moving things out. He told me they are going to start up a new one @ east green lake way soon, after settling that one, they will reopen this old location. I just added their new info. below.

Came upon this place after a failed visit to Seattle Soup Dumpling(closed). Google search showed Dan’s kitchen within walking distance with Soup Dumplings on the menu. We had pork soup dumplings, wonton soup, hot&sour soup and veg rolls which were all amazing. I’d spend the past month filling up on soup dumplings and this definitely topped the list. $13 for 10 hearty dumplings. Will be back on my next visit to town.

So good,yall... Everything we had was just amazing! I would have liked for my server to have given me the right boxes for my leftovers, He gave me plastic one for pastry's, My food leaked, and the juices got all over. Overall I highly recommend 👌.

A great neighborhood sleeper. We decided to go for a feast at our first visit & ordered a bunch to sample. Fast, fresh, & cheap - all that dim sum is about. Surprised to see shrimp toast on the menu!

A small mom and pop Chinese noodle place. The noodle broth was very good. It’s perfectly spicy with a little of that classic numbing spice. I love how much protein they give. Definitely worth the price for the amount we get. The friend calamari is amazing too. Freshly fried, a good appetizer. If you’ve ever had mikes noodle house, this is on par with the dish and slightly cheaper with easier parking. I’d pick this over mikes any day

A wonderful surprise, first time eating but won’t be the last. The broth was flavorful brisket wasn’t dry at all compared to many other places. Complementary tea and fantastic service. They were also able to accommodate a pork allergy :) Thanks for the meal!

Delicious Chinese food in a Seattle landmark! This beautiful venue has sweeping views of Lake Union. Good prices, plenty of parking and easy walking access. New ownership is very friendly and are experienced restauranteurs. You have every reason to come here and feast!

Wonderful experience! Delicious food! We went here for my husband's birthday dinner. So yummy 😋. We had the almond fried chicken, broccoli beef, pot stickers, and shrimp with honey walnuts. The potsticker wrappers were light, not too doughy, and just the right balance of tender and crispy! The view is the best part though. Gorgeous views of Lake Union! And they have an event hall upstairs with amazing views too. Wish I had an excuse to rent it! Excellent service and prices are surprisingly reasonable (especially for Seattle). The only negative I can find is that there is a bit of shabbiness to the building -- but it sure didn't decrease my enjoyment of the evening. Hope to be back soon! FYI, there are cute areas to explore near the building, like various marinas and an ice cream shop.

I discovered this hidden gem, and it exceeded my expectations! The customer service was spectacular, and the staff made me feel right at home. The food came out quickly and was bursting with flavor—everything tasted wonderful. When I asked for a remake of my drink, they happily obliged without any complaints. If you're looking for fantastic food and outstanding service, this place is a must-visit! I can't wait to go back!

My wife and I passed by this restaurant one night while out on a walk exploring Seattle. Afterwords I was craving szechuan the rest of our trip so our last night in town we finally had time to check it out and the food definitely did not disappoint! The portions were big and the service was excellent! I would definitely recommend checking it out!

Incredibly delicious. Great place to do shared plates and try lots of different meals. My favorite was the Dan Dan noodles. Perfectly spicy and oily. Cool atmosphere and good service as well.

Our order was to go. This restaurant was clean, fast, and friendly. I got the cucumber salad, which was refreshing and tasty. We also got some pork dumplings. They were super juicy and flavorful. I would love to come back and eat inside the restaurant next.
