I ordered mined pork w/rice and i loved it, they gave a big portion and it was a great deal for 11! Great service.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but my experience at this Chinese restaurant truly stood out. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted and seated quickly. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with just the right blend of traditional decor and a relaxed atmosphere. The food was the real highlight. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor—especially the popcorn chicken, which had the perfect balance of spice and depth. The dumplings were delicate yet packed with flavor, and the hand-pulled noodles had that perfect chewy texture you just can’t fake. You can really tell the chefs here care about what they’re making. Service was attentive but not overbearing. The staff checked in at just the right times and were more than happy to offer suggestions or accommodate small requests. Prices were reasonable, especially given the quality and portion sizes

Please do not come to this place because I love it too much and don’t want other people to know about itfood was great for its price, serving size is huge, service was amazing which was not expected honestly. A very sweet staff lady offered me free warm soup when she served my order and told me I could even get some to go. Food itself was 8.5/10 and a bit on the plain side in terms of flavor, but there are various free condiments available so you can make it to your taste. Other than that, everything else really made up for the whole experience!! Totally recommend.

All the foods are nice and delicious. I and my family ordered fried chicken, fried noodles with pork, Braised Pork Knuckle Lo Mein and vegetables soup. I will come again. Thanks!

The food here is absolutely delicious and tastes super authentic—especially the beef noodle soup and the dry stir-fried noodles. Portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable for a college area. The service is quick and friendly, and the staff are always patient and welcoming even during busy hours. The restaurant has a casual, cozy vibe that makes it perfect for a quick meal between classes or dinner with friends. Definitely one of my go-to spots near UW. Highly recommend!

Wow This place is a clear example that you don't always need to go to a fine dining restaurant to eat extraordinary food. One of the best in Seattle at an unbelievable price.

Unpretentious but delicious Chinese cuisine in UDistrict. Small space for dine-in, no restrooms, and paid street parking or on lot beside building. Cash less transaction and online ordering. If dining in, you scan the QR code atop the table you picked (seat yourself set up), order accordingly, and the food is served shortly. If take out, there's a terminal for ordering (like in McDonald's). Makes it convenient and accessible for non Chinese speaking customers! Awesome value for the amount of food you get. I ordered three dishes plus rice and Thai iced tea for 60 including tips. For three people, there was a lot of leftover food (to go containers are provided). Self serve condiments, dishes, and free soup (see pics). The dishes we ordered were yummy, took me back to my Chinatown food trip days. My kiddo who has started getting picky with his food, raved and asked for a third helping. Will visit again soon and highly recommend to those looking for a good nosh in the U!

The restaurant owner has the warmest heart!! He always has smiles on his face that made our day. He also gave us double-sized braised pork when he forgot to add it in my noodles. He’s so friendly and the food is authentic! Plus the portion is crazily huge, I eat what a normal 20-year-old guy would, and I couldn’t finish it. Definitely recommend, 10/10 place
