I’m really happy that Dough Zone is open in the area! It’s always busy, but we waited only about 15 minutes for a group of 5 on a Friday evening. Note that you need to join the waitlist in person, and no reservations are taken. Everyone in the group needs to be there to get seated. The food quality is on par with other locations, which is great. I absolutely love the noodles, especially the Dan Dan noodles, and the chive pancake is a must-try. The Xiao Long Bao is good, but I personally prefer the ones from Din Tai Fung. Some of the dumpling wrappers tasted like they weren’t fully cooked, and the spicy wontons were a bit on the small side. Overall, great service, fast and attentive, and the food comes out quickly. The restaurant is nice and clean. Will definitely be back!

I ordered few items but tan tan noodle sauce taste weird with strong herb smelt and banana pancake dessert doesn’t have bananas taste, appetizer for beef and pig ear is average only

I don't know why this place has bad reviews. I've been here several times with my family and we always are happy. The staff is very helpful, especially when we have food allergies. The food is fresh and flavorful. We ask for No MSG and we order vegan. Plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans here. Also they will make a dish with no meat or sub for tofu if you ask.

Had a Friday dinner with a former workmate, satisfying our Chinese food cravings. Always enjoy black tea, though there was a stain in the cup—maybe lemon. Not a big deal. The restaurant was spacious with ample parking, but funny enough, we were the only ones there! After leaving, we discovered another room—it was a bar. Now we know where everyone was! Tried the house special soup; not as "special" as expected, just egg, shrimp, peas, and carrots, but still tasty. Followed by broccoli, mushroom, and the highlight—beef fried rice! The service is excellent, and they even help organize the leftovers we couldn't finish! A delightful evening that left both my tummy and mind happy.

Wonderful, I've eaten Chinese food here several times and I've used take out as well. I've always had good solid Chinese food and I've never encountered a mistake. They also deliver and are hard working folks who take pride in what they do. I definitly recommend this as a simple way to solve dinner on a hectic night. Portions are a good size so don't over order unless you want leftovers. There is a counter you can sit at or you can opt for a table or booth. Enjoy!

Black Pearl is closed. The location is now occupied by a different business named Chen’s Shanghai reviewed under that name.

Wonton soup, all the dumplings came apart so that it was more of soup with noodles and bits of meat. The meat pieces were not flavorful and tasted old. It lacked flavors of wonton soup!

Happy to have good Chinese food so close (had to drive to the International District or Shoreline to get my fix). Ordered the pork rice bowl and chicken dumplings - both dishes were good. The pork meat was fork tender, the sauce mild (usually too sweet or too salty in some restaurants), the broccoli beautifully steamed. The chicken dumplings were flavorful. I love that their menu is limited and it looks like each item is freshly made and good quality. There's a bit of a wait which is typical for food like this. This is now a new favorite. Highly recommend to everyone to try it!

I recently visited Tian Fu Seattle, and while I had hoped for a satisfying meal, the experience fell short in several ways. The first thing that stood out was the self-service nature of the place. While that’s not inherently a problem, the server’s actions were odd. Despite the restaurant being practically empty during my visit, they seemed to do the bare minimum—dropping off food without much effort or engagement. As for the food, while the portions were impressively large, the flavor was severely lacking. Every bite felt bland, as though their focus was entirely on quantity rather than quality. If you’re someone who values taste and attention to detail, this might not be the place for you. Overall, Tian Fu Seattle may appeal to those who prioritize getting a lot of food for their money, but for anyone seeking a flavorful or attentive dining experience, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

We ordered Spicy boneless chicken，and the small dry pot spicy chicken wings with rice and two milk teas. We also added two extra portions of vegetables, but honestly, the cauliflower and other veggies that came with the dish were already enough. The flavor was great, the portion was generous, good price and worth it.

Always great to use the app to get rewards and use the freebies bigger plate and the bowls are my go to. Love the walnut shrimp. Cooked perfectly each time. Love love love the noodles. Great paired as a bowl. This is always my go to. I recommend this location. Pretty easy to get in/out. Service could have been better - wait time was 10 minutes waiting to be served. 4 cooks 1 manager and 1 taking orders with 6 people in line this day. Good thing no one was on a lunch break or in a major hurry. Next time have 2 people taking g orders during dinner time. Thanks. I’ll visit again and see if service improves.

Food was great! My husband noticed their entree boxes are smaller here than our panda where we live.

Disgusting and inedible. Friday 3/7/25 I ordered take out over the phone. Picked it up about 15 minutes later. The dinner included two pieces of pork, an egg roll, egg drop soup, fried rice, and broccoli beef. Got it home and opened the containers and found that the amount of soy sauce or whatever was used was very excessive. The food was drowning in it. The first thing I tried was one of the pieces of pork, and it tasted sour. So I spit it out and didn't touch the second piece. Then I tried the egg drop soup. It also had a very sour taste to it. I only took a tiny sip and that was more than enough to know not to eat it. The egg roll was ok Very tiny. Definitely frozen. The filling fell right out with the first bite. The broccoli beef and fried rice were just to saturated to eat. Soggy and salty, and just tasted "off". I had maybe four bites total and gave up. My husband had already eaten something earlier, so he didn't order any food from there. He thought I was exaggerating, so he took a bite of the pork and a bite of the food. Half hour later had to run to the toilet because he got sick. He spent most of the evening having to run to the bathroom. On top of that, the place is a mess. You can't eat in the restaurant, it is take out only. So they've taken the entire seating area over with boxes, toys, papers. They had little kids there that went from running around to just staring at me as I paid. It was really awkward. The second I walked in the door, I knew I should have just turned around. But I didn't listen to my instincts. Avoid this place, or spend the evening sick. Waste of $19.00

Some of the worst Americanized Chinese food I’ve ever had. Ordered a combo dinner for two, had the standard options for entrees and sides. Mongolian beef and Generals Chicken with fried rice is what we ordered. There was hardly anything worth eating in the order. The Mongolian beef was “fishy” but not in a fish sauce kind of way, the “fried” rice was as white rice with watered down soy sauce to make it appear brownish and the Generals chicken was pretty flavorless with hardly any sauce. The place only does to-go orders. I’m assuming it’s run by a small group of people who are stretched thin. The gal who greeted me and handed me my order was nice enough but not so nice I would waste the money coming back.

I ordered the chicken fried rice to go, and even after an hour, it was still delicious. The price is also great for the quality of the food. Highly recommended!

I'm a little surprised seeing the bad reviews, but take them with a grain of salt because most of the food stands in this food court have similar reviews and they are all pretty decent places. This was my first time to this food stand under the new ownership and in my opinion it is definitely an upgrade over the previous owners. All of their dishes can be served as individual-sized combination meals which include rice and a spring roll. Or they can be ordered as larger-sized a la carte dishes like you would get at a traditional Chinese restaurant. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken (a la carte) with added steam rice, and I definitely underestimated the portion size! Although a simple dish, the chicken was nicely breaded and tender, and they even heated the sauce up. It was nice having the sauce on the side so the chicken does not get soggy. Also the chow mein looked very good, but I will have to have that next time!

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.

I’ve been here twice and the food was delicious, the service was super nice. Will definitely come back!

Love the hotpot tastes great!

I wanted to give one star so people won’t come to my favorite place. This is one of the best kept secrets. Amazing food at a price that we used to pay 10 years ago. I totally get what people complain about the service but it is all about the expectation. If you ask the server what the wait is they will tell you. Your order will take an hour because we have tons of to go orders for example. If you are in a rush, go to other places. I find this place to be super friendly. Oh don’t forget to buy the frozen dumplings. Can you believe it is only 10$ for 2 lbs???? I love this place and always tip very generously as their dishes are very reasonably priced.

No fuss restaurant offering a wide variety of Chinese dishes from various regions. The dishes are plentiful and a great deal considering the price. Our go to dishes include the mini fried dumplings, pea vine shoots, and beef chow fun, and braised pork shoulder. Don’t expect too much from the decor and service without a smile, typical of Chinese restaurants.

The chef here is quite skilled — the lamb chops are absolutely delicious: crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside.

Shopping just got better! This Xi’an-style restaurant inside the Asian supermarket serves up super-fast and insanely delicious liangpi and roujiamo. One bite, and it feels like you’re on the streets of Xi’an! From now on, grocery runs come with a food stop—count me in!
