Shanghai Dumpling King
Overall feedback: It’s worth checking out once, but I wouldn’t recommend going back regularly. Environment: It’s fine, typical decoration for a traditional Shanghai street-food restaurant. Service: Very good. Possibly because it wasn’t peak hours, the servers came right away whenever we called, which is much better than most Chinese restaurants in Seattle area. Food: Pork chop: Acceptable, fairly tender, but a bit too sweet for my taste. Green Oion oil noodles: Not bad, about average. Small wontons: Very good, the filling had shrimp, giving them a nice texture, the wonton soup itself was just okay, it wasn’t a rich broth, and it only had seaweed and small dried shrimp, lacked egg strips (maybe they just weren’t scooped into my bowl). Curry beef vermicelli soup: Thumbs down, absolutely bad, I’ve never had something this tasteless. Fried dumplings: about average, but the wrapper is a bit sticky. Price: Very expensive, two of us spent over $80, and with tax and tip it went past $100.
My two besties from southern part of China highly recommended this place nd took me there. They said it’s super authentic. Me as a Chinese from Northern part would just say the noodles is delicious. I’d trust that their certification I guess. Very small place. Have authentic Shanghai style noodles. Even the free appetizers is super local way to start a meal. If you craving for Shanghai food, this should be a good choice. 雪菜肉丝面 is a must, but my friends said they just missing one part, which is bamboo shoot.
China Garden Restaurant
Family run restaurant. Friendly and very welcoming. Egg flower soup was very rich in flavour and HOT (temperature). Steamed bun was just okay. Not much flavour. Bun it self should have a little sweetness this lacked that. BBQ port was more shredded pork and little flavour. Served hot! Main meal was nice. Egg roll was not home made and veggies had definitely a frozen (little soggy) texture. Sweet and sour pork was good. Little heavily breaded sauce on the side. Mongolian beef prepared nice a little salty for my taste. I asked for 2 stars and I really should have had three. Over all $17 for the entire meal (hum bao $10) was a bargain. I'd definitely recommend it over all. Maybe white rice in place of fried would be better to absorb the saltiness.
Every thing we ordered is really good. Service is nice and the ambience is average. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Definitely recommend trying this out.
Mount & Bao潇湘阁
I've been here a few times when I'm on this side of town. The service is warm and quick, the food is delicious, and the portion sizes are great. I think the rice is cooked very fragrantly and it tastes really good. I will definitely be back!
Update 1/5/25: Went again here during lunch and tried 4 more dishes and they were yummy! Updated this review with menus and pictures. I love that we have a good asian restaurant up north. We've been to this place 2 times now and both times we had an excellent experience. The place is located in a small complex with other pretty good restaurants too. Parking can get packed here but there should be some space for everyone. Food order comes pretty quick and they are really good. Things that we personally like are the sweet and sour dishes, Sichuan spicy dishes, their string beans are good, tea smoked duck is pretty good as well. Their dim sum is good too. Soup dumplings are good with big portions. Nothing can go wrong here. It does get pretty packed at normal eating hours, so come a little early to avoid waiting.
PC Restaurant
We had chef special fried rice w/ double cooked pork belly & Szechwan beef. Everything was fresh, delicious, and the portions large. Service was fast and friendly. Can't wait to come back and try new dishes!
First time here! Ordered Beef brisket-Won-ton noodles soup! It’s Good!! I meant really good! The WT dumpling was so juicy delicious! The heat of the soup was hot all the way!
Imperial Wok
Excellent food, big portions, and a fair price. Imperial Wok is a great mom and pop restaurant in Bothell. I'd recommend the fried crabmeat rangoons and the orange chicken which comes with rice. My only complaint is the restaurant can be a bit hot.
We ordered Prawn Egg Foo Young, Prawn with Vegetables and Sweet and Sour Pork. The Wonton and Hot & Sour Soups were wonderful.
Fortune Inn Restaurant
Amazing food! I didn't know about this hidden gem I drove past for years and finally dropped in to try. My partner and I ordered the cucumber salad (so good!) crispy squid, king siu mai, cilantro dumplings and the thing most worth waiting for that we forgot we ordered - freshly made sesame balls! I'm normally not a huge fan but my partner loves them. They were so crispy, and soft. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Our server was incredibly thoughtful and attentive too. Update - quality seems to be slipping. Lots of items crossed off the menu. Our order waa kinda dried out and tasted like it was reheated from frozen. Made me real sad to experience the quality drop.
Well what can I say? The rice was decent? When I order the general tso chicken lunch special, and they give me more rice than chicken, how am I supposed to feel? When they forget the soup that was supposed to come with the lunch special, how am I supposed to feel? When the food taste no better than the Safeway Chinese food, what am I supposed to say? First time here is my last time here. Charging $14 for this is a joke.
Mount&Bao
We recently visited Mount & Bao and left with mixed impressions. To start, we tried the Hot and Sour Soup, which, while offering familiar flavors, stood out for its generous portion size at just $3.99. It was a satisfying and value-packed appetizer. For the main course, we opted for two combo plates—one with Sesame Chicken and another with General Tso's Chicken. Unfortunately, despite being different dishes, they were visually indistinguishable and tasted almost identical. The flavors were mild, and while they weren’t unpleasant, they didn’t leave a memorable impression either—just average. The service was generally good, though the ordering process might not suit everyone. Orders are placed using a QR code on your phone, which some might find a bit confusing or cumbersome. In summary, Mount & Bao is an option if you’re looking for value and convenience, but the overall dining experience was underwhelming in terms of flavor and uniqueness.
This review is for specifically this ONE dish: Mashed peppers with preserved egg and eggplant is the "S+" tier dish. I've tried this dish in different restaurants in Seattle and all over. Mount&Bao has the BEST version - it's soooo umami. I haven't been able to forget it for years! I eat for a living :) and I'm Chinese, born in China so I'm pretty picky 😅 Thank goodness for the owners. They seem to work really hard. The lady front of house is really nice even if her English is a little lacking. Nice family owned joint! Portions are generous!!!
P.F. Chang's
We went for lunch on a Saturday, quick check-in. The appetizers were great! Loved the stir-fried shrimp dumplings and chicken lettuce wrap. The lunch menu was okay. The Spicy Chang’s Chicken was tasty, but the Hot and Sour Soup and Orange Chicken weren’t great.
Have been going here for a few years now. Food is good, served hot and really quick. The refresher mocktail drinks were unlimited, the peach boba breeze is amazing. We ordered the lunch special menu, which included an appetizer, entree and a side for 14.99 . Lettuce wraps, dynamite shrimp and their signature lo mein are our all-time favorites.
Din Tai Fung
Not all dishes are authentic, some have american influence. The food and the service were good, we enjoyed our time there, although we had trouble understanding what to order, but it is our fault for not doing more research before coming to the restaurant. Although the resturant is very big, it is usually full of people and it is hard to find a place to sit without a reservation. You could find yourself waiting 30-40 minutes to let you in
Din Tai Fung doesn’t need a review—it’s a legend in its own right. The food is consistently amazing, and disappointment is simply not on the menu. The service? Always top-notch. Every visit feels like being welcomed by old friends who just happen to make some of the best food on the planet. Plenty of tables to go around too. You might have to wait if you don’t make reservations. Vibe is all around good and it’s a hustle and bustle for the weight staff. Let’s talk green beans—those glorious, garlicky green beans. They’re so perfect, I’d happily take a bucket of them. Scratch that, make it a barrel. Crisp, vibrant, and seasoned to perfection, they might just be the reason I keep coming back. But no meal here would be complete without dumplings. All the flavors are a hit, but this time, I tried the Xiang Long Bao. Where have these been all my life? It feels like I’ve uncovered a secret treasure, and from now on, they’re a permanent fixture on my plate—right next to those life-changing green beans. And if all that deliciousness wasn’t enough, I love ending my visit by watching the staff through the window as they craft their dumpling masterpieces. It’s like a behind-the-scenes magic show, and it never fails to put a smile on my face. Din Tai Fung, keep doing what you do best—because everything you do is absolutely amazing.
Dough Zone Dumpling House University District
I absolutely LOVE their soup dumplings!!! They're always filled with so much soup, with great flavor, the perfect thinness of the wrapper...thin yet so strong to hold all that yummy goodness inside! The Q-baos also hold so much soup inside them! They always seem to have the perfect brown crisp to the bottom of them. Love their pig ear appetizer. It's an acquired taste, but they cut it so thin; I love how chewy and flavorful this dish is! Their noodles, soups, and other hot foods aren't the greatest, but if you're looking for an amazing soup dumpling, come to Dough Zone!!! Their service is always so quick and friendly! I just wish parking was better at this U-district location. There isn't a designated parking lot for this place as it's on the bottom of an apartment complex. You can park across the street at the u-village parking garage
🥘FOOD🥘: 9/10 Quality: We LOVE Dough Zone! Like you see in the picture, the two of us ordered so much food! The kale salad is the best I have ever had, the sweet and sour flavors helps to cover the bitterness of the kale and the texture of the kale is everything! A very refreshing appetizer. And the dan dan noodle is always phenomenal! It was cooked to perfection. Very tender and flavorful. Appearance: All the food looks great! The potstickers are looking like a beautiful art to me! Portion size: Well, I always think that the portion could always be bigger! It would be more satisfying for the customers especially when they are hungry. 🧑🏻 Service🧑🏻: 8/10 Friendliness: Service is solid! The servers that served us are all very nice and friendly! Even thought we came there late and they are ready to close, they took us and still gave us great service! Timeliness: Food arrived quite fast, we did not wait for too long and it came to us in nice and warm temperature. Environment: Very clean and nice, The lighting is perfect and I loved how everything looks, very simple yet modern. Location: Great location! Right next to U-village and underneat the apartment complex. It might be difficult to find parkings because the residents took all of the street parkings available. But it wasn’t too far if you parked at U-village and walked to Dough Zone!
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
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!
