This is a Chinese restaurant, but even my African friend loved it! The food is so flavorful and authentic, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. We tried the noodles, soup dumplings, and some other dishes, and everything was amazing. The service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was very comfortable. Definitely a great spot for anyone who loves delicious food, no matter where you're from!

so glad to have a good chinese restaurant in the area. XLB were delicious and probably the best beef noodle i’ve had in the city. not mind blowing, but very solid comfort food in a nice setting. food came with a pot of hot jasmine green tea as well.

Don't let the exterior fool you. There's good eats to be found here. They have the classic Chinese dishes you'd expect, and they do it really well. I tried the Beef Chow Funn Gravy Style today and it's now my go-to dish. Everything about it was delicious, and I can't wait for my leftovers for lunch tomorrow. They also make their orange chicken, general tso's, and sesame chicken with a batter before it's fried, and it always turns out great. It somehow remains crispy. I think if you're craving Chinese take-out, this place will hit the spot. Also, if you're looking for a big portion, then you definitely need to come here.

Literally my favorite restaurant ever. My family has been going here for my whole life and it's like comfort food for me. Everything is soooo delicious, but my favorites are the General TSO's Chicken, which has the right amount of sweet and spice, the handmade Chow Mein that comes with beef and brocolli, and the Egg Drop Soup. Also try the egg rolls, crab Rangoon, and honestly anything because it's going to be delicious. The family who runs the business is so kind and professional, especially the owner, who is just the sweetest woman. Love Fu Shen so much!! 💗

Good for what it was, so much onion that wasn’t pictured on the picture of it. The flavor is there but also not really, adding Siracha made it somewhat tolerable. I also wish they added Chinese broccoli or something $90 on 2 meals 2 drinks and a soup. 😅prawns+broccoli added beef with medium rice and orange chicken with large rice and large egg drop soup which were all really good 2 sprite

they delivered quickly and the chicken was still crunchy! we got the spicy garlic tofu and the honey walnut chicken. they were both really good!! we got the large (32oz) or rice to go along with our two entrees and it was more than enough! :)

I was excited to try Chuan BBQ from looking at the positive reviews, and I quickly realized during my meal that all the positive reviews were fake, and the negative reviews were truthful about this restaurant. The owner is an asian UW graduate, and you can notice that all the glowing reviews are from asian reviewers, which are likely the owner's friends doing tons of reviews to falsely prop up the business. None the less, I gave it a go, and bought quite a large variety of items (screenshot of order provided). For starters, it looks like the little "grills" on the table would contribute to grilling/cooking the food, but unfortunately its just for show to keep your food warm - under the foil, are 2 wax small candles. This was clearly communicated when you are seated. There are a few pros to this restaurant, but the cons far outweigh the pros. For that reason, I give it a 2/5. This place did not initially offer karaoke, but im assuming this was implemented to help get more people into the door. Pros: - The owner is super nice & friendly, and pretty attentive to the tables - The spicy cumin flavor that was used is quite tasty and balanced well - sweet/salty/spicy - When they grill the items, they were cooked well, and not over/under cooked - Karaoke room is free for customers if it is not occupied. Cons: - The price for what you get & portions are not the best - Almost every single grilled item on the menu uses the exact same seasoning, and a little too liberally. Proof in the pictures - The repitive seasoning overpowers the taste of the actual ingredient, and it borderline hides the quality/freshness of what was cooked. Most of the items seemed like it was from frozen and not fresh, except for the grilled mushrooms - I ordered 10 different grilled items, and they all had the exact same taste/seasoning, with some items with way too much seasoning - Beef Tongue, Beef Tendon, Pork Belly, Hot Iron Squid, grilled yellow croaker, bullfrog leg, grilled fish tofu, japanese grilled fish (mackrel), Grilled muishrooms, grilled beef meatball - When serving water, there was no matching cups, and while its not a big deal for me, it can be for others. While most reviews are 5 stars here, look at the lower rated reviews, as they will provide an actual unbaised glimpse into what you're getting yourself into. I'm glad to have tried it, but i will not be coming back again.

Chuan BBQ was a complete disappointment, far from what the glowing Google reviews might suggest. Despite the inviting photos I took, this restaurant turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. I took my wife on a Friday night, it was the worst date night experience ever. Ambiance: 1/5 The restaurant had a strange, unpleasant smell upon arrival, which was a major turn-off. It’s hard to tell if this is a barbecue joint or a karaoke lounge, as the boss kept pushing karaoke services on us during the meal. Authenticity: 1.5/5 The dishes were heavily seasoned—likely to mask the lack of freshness. The chicken gristle, which should have been grilled, was inexplicably fried. We asked for extra spicy but never asked for extra salty. The grilled fish was $19 and it was unacceptable salty. I couldn’t have second bite of it . The grilled squid came last because we heard the owner talking to herself that the squid was not defrosted quick enough. When the grilled squid came , it had no grill flavor but only some sweet sauce. We have been many BBQ places in LA and China since me and my wife are both grow up there , never had such bad experiences for BBQ. Flavor: 1/5 If you’re into excessively salty food, this might be your spot. For me, it was unbearable—easily the saltiest meal I’ve ever encountered. The lukewarm barbecue didn’t help the situation either. Cost: 2/5 Considering the low quality of the food and the odd experience, this place is overpriced. Service: 2/5 The only redeeming factor was the awkwardly friendly boss, who seemed determined to upsell every dish and push karaoke. Despite that, the service pace was decent, possibly because I was visibly checking in on Yelp. Final Thoughts: Chuan BBQ is a hard pass. Between the overpowering salt, questionable food freshness, weird atmosphere, and karaoke confusion, I can’t recommend this place. Skip it and save yourself the regret.

Had a wonderful dinner at this Northeastern Chinese restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the staff lady was incredibly warm and welcoming. We ordered the braised pork with vegetables, which came with potatoes, green beans, and tomatoes. What really impressed me was how well the vegetables were cooked—especially the ones that can sometimes have a strong taste, like tomatoes or eggplant. Everything was stewed to perfection and paired so well with rice. Another thoughtful touch was that the restaurant served complimentary tea, which balanced the flavors nicely if the dishes felt a bit salty. We also ordered two cold side dishes, and both were refreshing and delicious. Highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys authentic Northeastern Chinese cuisine!

Delicious food, excellent tea, and wonderful service! My friend and I ordered some braised pork belly, and it’s the first non-crunchy pork belly I’ve ever fully enjoyed. The pork was super tender and flavorful, and we finished every bite of the meat, noodles, and veggies along with two pots of tea. The portions were generous (and affordable!), and we were getting full, but I really wanted to try their dumplings. We got some shrimp, pork, and chive dumplings, and they were fantastic (also the soup dumpling variety with broth inside). I would have never found this spot without my friend and can’t wait to visit again soon! Our servers were incredibly sweet and attentive!

This place is a hidden gem, wish we tried it sooner! We were so impressed with the flavor of the hot and sour soup, perfectly balanced salt and acidity with a depth to it, great amount of mushroom and other veg. The walnut shrimp a tad on the sweeter side but the shrimp were enormous, incredibly juicy and plump. We were also pleased with the crispness of the buns (though would get pork next time instead of veg) and would order the wings again. The service was top notch - the waiters were so proactive in filling water and tea and packaged our leftovers for us 🥹 and plenty of PARKING. Love this place, we’ll be back soon!

Solid 4/4.5 spot. I liked how they had so many types of Chinese cuisine from sichuan to chongqing to American Chinese. The pork pan fried buns were the best I’ve had in Seattle! Meaty, juicy, and a crispy bun. Overall everything was authentic and was also happy that there were other Chinese people enjoying their food which let me know this place was worth it.

Food was yummy. We went for an early lunch and sat right down. Service was prompt and professional. I had Thai greenbeans, such big portions, like a family dish, a great deal.

It was a really enjoyable experience! The food was all very good. Kind of pricey, but it’s a good location and they give you a lot of food so it evens out. I was pleasantly surprised with how many wontons were in my wonton soup. 6-7! The “vegetable egg roll” was delicious, but it was definitely a spring roll and you only get one. So I may not get that again. My husband got the sweet and sour chicken with chow mein. The wonton soup had a fish baste.

We stopped by this place for lunch at around noon. There were tongs and bowls right at the door. They offered variety of vegetables, mushrooms, meat, seafood and many kind of noodles, and even duck blood. After picking the food, you could choose with broth or dry, weigh and pay by lb. Mine was 1.5 lbs and I couldn’t even finish. I chose only one of each. My husband bowl was 2.3 lbs and it was barely any broth. We both got beef broth with level 3 spicy. The broth had good favor but little too salty for me. Spicy level was good and not too crazy for me at level 3. There was a sauce area which was kinda nice but the soup was too salty to use the sauce. I was kinda concerned about freshness of food in fridge. It seemed it wasn’t cold enough. Some of the meat are placed right at the fridge door. And because the place was so busy so it seemed like the door was never closed. After sitting down, the place got really busy. People were waiting to get food and then there were people were waiting to get the table. Wondering what if their food was ready and didn’t even have the table. Also, It was very hard to hear when they called that the food was ready. I hope they have a different system for it. Overall, it was nice to try but not worthy to comeback.

Tip: you can weigh your bowl any time while choosing your ingredients- you don’t have to wait til the end to weigh. I really really enjoyed this spot. Really fun choosing what you want in your bowl. Lot of noodles/starch options. Lot of protein options (tofu, meat, seafood, poultry). Want just one muscle or one meatball? Go for it! Want a lot of tofu? Totally up to you! Lots of veggie options too. Tasted the beef broth and tomato broth and they were so flavorful. Love the sauce bar as well! I will be back when they have the Tom yum back in stock.

Cliff notes version: 4 stars for the selection for their happy hour; 3 stars for the overall food. Conflicted about this review. The food was affordable but varied greatly in flavor and quality; however, the servers were well attentive and the restaurant was clean. I thoroughly enjoyed the dim sum and the spring rolls. The dill dumplings, on the other hand, left something to be desired. The dumpling was dry and overcooked. And, the tam tam noodles were far too sweet -- tasted like you dumped peanut butter into noodles I'd probably come back overall, just avoid a few items.

Nice and clean restaurant but food is pretty mediocre in terms of taste and authenticity. HK Milktea 3.5/5 - not bad but nothing outstanding either. You can find something of similar quality in an Asian market juice box. Shrimp omelette rice with “tomato sauce” 3/5 - the shrimp omelette itself is quite alright in terms of flavor and texture but the advertised tomato sauce was basically ketchup which spells a basic lack of effort. The kitchen could have done a much better job on that tomato sauce mixing a little of ketchup with actual cooked and sliced tomatoes. Just putting ketchup underneath the omelette is plain lazy. Beef noodles 3/5 - the soup was good but the noodles and beef was pretty ordinary in terms of flavor and texture. String beans 1/5 - last dish to be served on our table and the most disappointing. Just by the looks of it from the photo, you can tell it is not appealing at all. No prep work done on cutting the rough edges of it and not much flavor on the dish. Try the same dish in Din Tai Fung and you can tell the difference. Overall, the restaurant has a nice ambience but the food was very mediocre. Definitely could be better if not for a lack of trying on the kitchen’s part.

Had a quick lunch here today and ordered the Mao's pork belly and wood ear mushrooms with garlic sauce. Came with a side of rice. Food was super tasty (albeit super spicy) and would 100% come here again! Service was quick and friendly and they packaged my leftovers for me.

This place is solid. I think they’re fairly new. Went for some lunch and it was not very busy. The food was really good and tasty. Really enjoyed the duck. Service was quick and nice.

The food was really tasty! We had leftover sauce after finishing the noodles, and they let us order three more. The scallion pancakes were good as well as the veggie roles. The curry sauce was tasty, but I don’t think I’d pay the $2 upgrade charge to get it next time. I definitely want to come back to try the other flavors. Vegan options clearly marked, and I love how they can open the windows in the restaurant to give you the fresh outdoor air.

Tried this during our visit in Seattle. We tried the signature pork ribs version. The noodles were good and chewy, and the sauce was good. The beef felt overcooked so it's not tender to my liking. The ribs were tender and much better in comparison. We loved the honey chicken wings btw. Very addictive and I couldn't stop eating them! The noodles felt pricey but nonetheless it was a decent place.

Very close to Seattle Art Muesum. Not an authentic Chinese restaurant for Chinese but still very tasty. Highly recommend DanDan Noodle and spicy beef. Staffs are also friendly and welcoming.

Food was prepared very well. All the dishes served looked almost exactly as they did on the menu. Service was quick and the portion size was not too big and not too small. Price was also very fair.
