This is a little joint is warm and cozy. All the food are authentic and the servers are very nice. We weren't sure about the level of bubble the sweetness, the server made suggestion and even took time to make sure it is the sweet lever we wanted. Definitely recommended! read more

A great place for authentic Taiwanese food and drinks. The service was quick, and the kids enjoyed the food.

Visiting Seattle and decided to stop by here after seeing the Troll. Really love the area. It wasn't too hard to find street parking. The waiter gave the kiddos some cute utensils to use which was a cute touch and kiddos so happy. We got the Malatang dumpling soup, pork belly over garlic, and the popcorn chicken over rice. They all were is very flavorful and yummy! The pork belly was a little salty for us though. read more

This is my second time coming to 19 Gold and it was great. The food came out within 5 minutes from ordering. With ordering being done on the app and I had no data, I had my boyfriend place it for us instead but otherwise it was pretty smooth. The restaurant is well spaced out and has quite a lot of seats and it was decorated for the 4th of July. Will come again soon! read more

I feel like I've had better malatangs elsewhere. The broth to me felt diluted and didn't have that powerful spiciness/numb you tend to get. What was surprising was the noodles wasn't included in the combo. You either pick a rice side or the noodles. A friend that's been here before swore it was pick a rice side or get extra noodles. Nonetheless, thought it's odd since this dish elsewhere automatically comes with noodles in the broth. The pork and rice side was indeed delicious though! I appreciate seeing an authentic Taiwanese restaurant in Fremont! read more

19 GOLD - Malatang - Taiwanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I can see why this place had such hype, it's amazing! Food: home special malatang with non spicy olen broth with a side of pork dumplings and tofu noodle --- this was a lot and fed 2 people easily. The malatang itself was filled with various stuff like fish balls, seaweed, egg, corn, etc. It also come with either rice or noodles. The broth was a little bland on my taste but it's because Im sick and didnt want to do anything rich. I did try a little of my friends normal broth and it was pretty delicious though. My friend also ordered a side of the pork belly and the bok choy and both was standard. Price: very good especially for Fremont and for the amount that you're getting. Service: very attentive and they keep refilling my water which was nice. The best thing?????? If you pay with cash OR VENMO you can get 5% off!!!!!! This is the first I heard of venmo paying...it could use some improvement but it's pretty cool! read more

19 GOLD - The Winter Melon Juice - Taiwanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Small Taiwanese restaurant in Fremont. Doing decent business on a Saturday night, but we didn't have to wait for a table. The menu consists of variations of their signature mala tang (spicy soup), which you can pick the spice level, and the choice of rice or vermicelli. They have other Taiwanese items as well and also serve bubble tea. I got their meat lover's mala tang with medium spiciness. It's a good-sized bowl of soup and ingredients, somewhat like a personal-sized hotpot. No complaints about the portion. The soup though was a bit light on the flavor. I'm not sure what authentic Taiwanese mala tang is supposed to taste like, but I was expecting the broth to be a richer, and also a little spicier. Overall, not bad, but not that great either. read more

19 GOLD - beef meat lovers mala tang with vermicelli - Taiwanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Food and drink never miss. Great quality for the price. My kids are always asking for 19gold.

I always seek out interesting Asian cuisine whenever I travel since we don't have a ton of options where I live. 19 Gold specializes in Taiwanese cuisine, which I am not really familiar with. However I recognized most of the ingredients and saw some typical dishes like the onion pancake, etc. My friends and I stopped in on a rainy evening and grabbed the last four top table. The place is pretty tiny. We ordered the onion pancake and popcorn chicken to start - they were both delicious! The pancake was the crispiest version of this dish that I've ever had. It was flavorful and not too greasy. The popcorn chicken was super crispy and the coating was seasoned well. I would definitely order both of those items again. My boyfriend and I shared the house special Mala tang. You get to customize this dish with your choice of broth, level of spiciness, protein choice, and side option (vermicelli or rice). We got the regular broth, but they also have a spicy version and a super rich version that has milk in it. We went with a low spice level and beef as our protein. The house special dish comes with tons of stuff including lotus root, tofu, tofu skin, fish cake, lobster ball, quail egg, broccoli, corn, enoki mushroom, crab stick, and other things! I liked most everything except for the seaweed knot. The meat wasn't super flavorful and doesn't really add anything to the dish. The broth was flavorful and really tasty. It's basically hotpot you don't cook yourself. If I went back I would build my own bowl, now that I know what everything is and what I liked the best. Service was the only issue; they were pretty slow to grab our bill and we only got a couple of water refills after we emptied the bottle on our table. If you pay with cash or on Venmo you get a 5% discount. read more

I came back with some friends because they wanted to try it and this time I laid off the noodle dishes on the back of the menu and my experience was better. I ordered the surf and turf malatong and added udon to the side instead of ordering the udon malatong. I kept off the rice dishes, too. The appetizer and braised dishes are what's good at this restaurant. Just get the signature dishes that has a lot of stuff in it and you should be good. I wish their boba cups were not so cheap. I had gotten delivery from caviar and twice the cups broke and exploded during transport. read more

Finally got to try 19 GOLD over the weekend and it didn't disappoint! However I do want to dispel a few things that others have written about parking and discounts. They do NOT have designated parking spots at all (saw someone write that they had 3 but confirmed that they don't), it's just street parking or paid parking nearby. Also, you don't get a 10% discount if you check in on Yelp, but you do get 5% off your bill if you pay with Venmo or cash. Now onto the food, the braised meat/tofu appetizer was really legit. The delicious soy and tea flavors were all there like you'd find in Taipei. I also really enjoyed my fried chicken steak with rice. The chicken was tender, not dry and stringy, and the batter was addicting. I would order this again. My friend didn't like her mala soup as well as I liked my rice, but she really enjoyed the appetizer too. I'd come back to try the other dishes but Fremont street parking is a pain so will try to come during off hours. read more

The photos posted the past four months definitely piqued my interest to check out 19 Gold in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood. The College Friend selected this out of the choices given to choose from for her birthday (9/8/19). Despite the nearby Fremont Sunday Market, I had no problem getting nearby free street parking. We arrived a few minutes before the 1130 opening, but were kindly seated at a two top, handed menus and water. The other tables filled up shortly thereafter for lunch. So many choices from their vast food and beverage menu! I ended up ordering the Crispy Honey Prawns with Pineapple ($10.95), the Taiwanese Sausage with seasoned egg, two vegies, and steamed rice with minced pork ($10.95), and a Hokkaido Milk Tea 50% sweetness/50% ice ($4.50). The College Friend selected the House Special Malatang bowl with super rich broth, chicken, and all the fixings ($14.95) and received minced pork over rice ($2). All the food were brought out nice and piping hot, where applicable. Why the missing star from perfection? *Ugh for tepid water, despite being kept well hydrated with refills. *Expediting was uneven. I was practically done eating before The College Friend's orders arrived at the table. I suspect the identical orders brought to adjacent tables who were seated after us, were actually hers. *asked for noodles, she got rice. With the wait time, decided to not comment any further. *way too much mayo coating the prawns, or as the receipt referred to as creaming sauce. Pro tips: Arrive right at opening, you'll get seated and served at a reasonable time. Be kind and do your part to not dither, so others can be seated after you. Join their loyalty club, you'll earn free food/drink with accrued points. Ask the waitperson or manager for the separate touch pad and enter your phone number. Enunciate clearly though...I am now Murie in their system, not Marie. Pay at your table with efficient hand held device, just like I've seen used up in Vancouver, BC. Despite a previously posted tip from another Yelper, there was no applicable Yelp discount. Special mention: Great customer service! From start to finish, it was spot on. And thank you to David the manager! Despite the minor stuff mentioned, definitely there will be future return visits. Thank you for the passionfruit green tea ($3.75 value) bestowed upon The College Friend for her birthday. Generous gesture! 19 Gold is a decent, tasty dining experience located at the center of the universe (aka Fremont). Just a diagonal football toss away from the Lenin statue. read more

I love coming here whenever I'm craving for some comfort food. Everything is always so phenomenal and flavorful! The service here is great as well! Staff is super friendly and they serve food pretty quick! I absolutely love the braised duck wings here! They killed it with the flavoring and it's so juicy! I also love the garlic string beans. And of course get the house special malatang. The bowl is filled with ingredients and the the original broth is addicting. TIP: they serve bubble tea as well, so be sure to to-go one after your meal! read more

Came here with some friends including a taiwanese friend and one of us were impressed at all. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share including the steamed pork belly with garlic sauce, minced pork over rice, seafood lover malatang (and a couple more i don't even remember, that's how memorable they were) - none of it stood out in any way. All the dishes were just ok. I just remembered the steamed pork belly was really dry and the flavor of the minced pork over rice was weird. Would not recommend, I would just stick to Facing East for your Taiwanese food cravings! read more

My spouse is from Taiwan and for his birthday he requested Taiwanese food! Finding this gem of a place was gold! It's a small restaurant, so RSVP was a given to avoid waiting for awhile. While it is in Fremont, so off-street parking can be difficult to maneuver, but c'est la vie, it is what it is. Anyways, the food was great, though there was confusion as we ordered via our phone, so we double ordered numerous dishes, but thankfully the staff double checked our order. We ordered the Beef Soup (delish), malatang dishes, appetizers, rice dishes, milk teas and etc. Overall, it was impressive and a nice reminder of Taiwan and the deliciousness of Taiwanese food and cuisine. The restaurant also gave the red bean cake to birthday celebrant; definitely worth future visits! read more

Came to 19 GOLD on a beautiful sunny day! The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Cool neighborhood to walk around as well, not far from the Fremont Troll. read more

Wow I really liked the beef noodle soup here, it's much better than DTF. The soup is really flavorful and the noodles are fantastic. I'm not a huge fan of tendon, so I only had a bite, but it was still good. I'm not a huge fan of the mala tang. We ordered the creamy one and I thought it was alright. But this soup is what they're known for. We also ordered the gold fries. They were pretty good. The sauce was sweet which I did not expect. Delicious none the less. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the food here, but it's a bit expensive. I'd really only go back for the beef noodle soup read more

Delicious radish cakes and sweet buns. Highly recommend trying if you visit. Value for money! Cozy yet lively ambiance.

Both were so soothing and just what we needed for the night. Do visit if you're ever in the read more

One word wow! The food here is sooo good! Trust me, this is the place to go if you want some good Taiwanese food around the area. Honestly, I would be down to drive from Bellevue to here just for their food if I'm ever craving Taiwanese food. Malatang with beef (4/5) - very good and with lots of ingredients. They don't cheap out on the meat or ingredients. I got mild with their original Malatang and it was sooo good! It's almost like a mini hot pot. Garlic soy sauce over pork belly over rice (5/5) - holy smoke that garlic soy sauce is soooo good over the pork belly. The soy sauce is sweet but a bit spicy due to the fresh garlic. On top of that, their minced pork over rice is the best minced pork I had around Seattle and Bellevue area. 19Gold fries - it comes with fresh fries with popcorn chicken on top. Both the fries and chicken were fresh and crunchy. Exactly how I like my fries and chicken. They also give you mustard, ketchup and condensed milk. Let me tell you, put that French fries into the condensed milk and you will never use ketchup for fries ever again. Service (5/5) - I came here with my 7 months old baby and the servers were extremely patient with us. We took a bit longer to finish our food since we had to take turn eating. Overall, the experience is great and the food is very good. If you're around the area, come try help out your local business. read more

This place is amazing! I got the spiciest ma la tang and the soup came bold red and was actually spicy. I decided to choose my own ingredients but you can also pick one of the standard ones. The portion is quite sizable for the price. They are generous with the amount of the meat and base (ramen for me) but I wish it was more equal with the other items like seaweed knots and tofu etc. The fried buns are sooooo fresh and crispy and delicious! It is heaven paired with the condensed milk omg. The place is smaller than i thought with 8-10 tables but it looks clean and ambiance is nice. Parking could be difficult though. I will definitely come back! read more

I came again at a earlier time and got a table after about 45 mins wait time. The service is pretty good that almost all the employees are friendly, but we did not get any personal plates after two dishes came. The taste are okay. Not bad but also not special. I ordered customized Malatang with three star spicy, and it was about one star level in other restaurants. Prices are not costly, yet the portion is also not very big. For example, there are two pieces of the tofu for $1.5 in the customized Malatang. Hence, it is still more cost effective to order their Malatang set and add extra. I showed them the discount coupon I received from yelp, and the employee kept asking me if I shared review on Facebook..... You'll get 5% off if you pay cash or Venmo. First visit: There was not that many people are in the line and they just simply told us no more tables at 8:30pm, which is one hour before they close. Drove 30 mins and going to drive 30 mins back while super hungry. Better call them before going even if you already checked online info. Otherwise, they'll just tell you to leave anyway not even tell you they actually offer to go or anything. read more

What a cute little place this was! It's so hard to find real authentic Taiwanese joints and this place really hit the spot for me and my friend. We got there during Happy Hour (3pm-6pm) and it was basically Taiwanese street food galore. I. WAS. IN. HEAVEN.

19 GOLD - Cute place - Taiwanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Very good taste, classical Taiwan flavor! Beef noodles and boba are great! Will come next time.

Being a big fan of Taiwanese cuisine, I was pretty excited to check this place out and overall, it was a pretty pleasant visit. Came here on the weekend right at opening time and thankfully, the restaurant was only half full. For those who hate waiting, I would advise coming here during non-peak hours or at opening. Here are some key takeaways: Food: All of the food dishes were delicious. Most notably, I enjoyed: 19 Gold Fries: Imagine devouring crispy fries topped with a variety of sauces (honey mustard, ketchup and CONDENSED MILK)......it's a weird combo of flavors of sweet and salty and oh boy. I couldn't stop eating this dish until it was gone. Very tasty appetizer. Also, popcorn chicken = ON POINT. NOMMSS Braised Duck Wings: A bit bonier than the usual wings, this was another tasty appetizer that one should try, especially if you want to try out the yummy Taiwanese seasonings. Portion isn't big but just enough for a bite here and there Malatang: House Version - aiiiiii, if you're looking for a nice bowl of spiciness, this dish is it. Loaded with a variety of toppings and a pipin' hot broth flavor, you can't go wrong with ordering this. So So items: Tried the chicken fried steak and this dish was average. The meat was a bit too dry and overall, dish was a bit more on the bland side. Drinks: Tried the peach oolong team with cheese crema and overall, couldn't really taste the cheese crema too much. Compared to other places with similar crema, this place was a bit more of the watery side and not too flavorful. Other things to note: Service = Pretty quick and friendly. Parking = Iffy since it's in the busy parts of Fremont. There is street parking around and a tiny lot nearby Overall, food is good here and I wouldn't mind coming back again if in the area read more

Food was pretty good; my husband didn't like it as much. What was quite off-putting was the service. We ordered a bunch of items to go, including a milk tea. Whoever put our order together put the icy cold milk tea on its side in the bag, on top of hot popcorn chicken, packed tightly into the bag. We ended up with cold popcorn chicken and tepid tea with all the ice melted. A little common sense would have been nice. read more
