The food here is affordable and delicious! I really loved ANY of the fried appetizer- they were all so hot and fresh!! The vibes are casual and modern. The food is nothing fancy, but it comes out quick (7-15 minutes), the portions are giant, and its fresh and flavorful. Also got the boba, which was so affordable and good as well. Will definitely visit again! Highlights were the popcorn chicken, green onion pancake, and crispy red bean pancake. read more

Nice, cozy restaurant. Food was delicious and well prepared. Love how they serve the Popcorn chicken fries with 3 kinds of sauce. All well combined. The soup was deep and flavorful not overwhelming by pepper. The waitress was friendly and checking on us several times. Parking is on the street or on the side parking lot. read more

We went here for dinner over the weekend. We couldn't join the waitlist at that time so we walked in and waited about half an hour, which was fine. The place has a nice vibe, clean, warm lighting, and busy, which I liked. The servers were friendly and kept us updated on the wait. I ordered the malatang (regular spicy). It looked like a lot, but the portion was just okay and lacked flavor--it didn't really meet my expectations. The milk tea was good. read more

We heard many good things about this place for Taiwanese food so we made the drive out to Fremont for a Wednesday lunch. We ordered a massive Taiwanese feast fit for a king: Garlic String Beans, Popcorn Chicken, Minced Pork over Rice, Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, and House Special Malatang. Garlic String Beans (4/5): With a super fragrant and pungent garlic-infused flavor, the string beans are nicely blistered for that perfect soft yet crunchy and snappy texture. Popcorn Chicken (5/5): The crispy breading is pretty authentic for what'd you find in a Taiwanese night market, and the chicken thigh pieces are juicy! Crispy fried basil leaves and a dash of spicy powder add the finishing touches. Minced Pork over Rice (5/5): Served with pickled cabbage, a braised boiled egg, and bok choy, this bowl of lu rou fan was a Taiwanese banger! The divine braised soy sauce elixir engulfs every square inch of the rice and fatty pork, which melts in your mouth. Oh, and pro tip: it comes with a refill of meat if you ask! Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup (5/5): This beef noodle soup has a relatively clear broth instead of being heavily soy sauce-based. The broth is still tantalizingly aromatic with authentic-tasting deep beef and soy sauce flavors, and the beef is very tender and not tough! Topped pickled mustard greens add the chef's kiss. House Special Malatang (4/5): Kind of like a personal hotpot but with a fiery and numbing mala-flavored broth. The broth looks super greasy but is actually quite light beneath the top layer of oil. The ingredients were all deliciously soaked in the malatang broth, except for the corn which was soggy and had no crunch. Service was very fast and the interior feels clean and modern. Would definitely recommend checking out if you're in the Fremont area! read more

I visited 19Gold at 2:55 PM with my wife, sister, and her fiancé, starving after touring three apartments. We ordered the house special hot pot with Spicy Malatang and rice--and let me tell you, I absolutely demolished it. The only thing left on my plate was the seaweed! What really stood out to me was how well-balanced the flavors were--it wasn't an over-the-top salt bomb like so many hot pots can be. Coming from LA, where the bar for asian food is sky-high, I wasn't expecting much. But 19Gold completely changed my perspective. Knowing a place like this exists in Seattle makes the idea of living here so much more exciting. Food 4.5/5 Service 4/5 ambiance 4/5 Highly recommend! read more

Came for dinner on a weeknight around 6pm ish. When I first got there, only one other table was occupied. By the end of my meal, it was a full house! Service was quick and friendly. I got the garlic green beans that I enjoyed though I wish they were a bit crunchier. I also got the seafood with fish broth which was very comforting on a chilly night. Unfortunately, you can't make it spicy if you get that broth so I had to ask for chili on the side. This was only my second time trying out 19 GOLD. Excited to come back and try their other items! read more

Taste: *** Presentation: **** Cleanness : **** Service: ** Ambiance : *** Cost: $$$ Haven't gone back to this place for a while and finally got a chance. However I did not have good experience with my friend. We ordered two malatong, however both bowls we received were lukewarm. Which was very disappointing. I guess at 8 pm on a week day probably the kitchen team I can't wait to close. The rice came with the soup failed too. The rice was overcooked. Very very mushy. And the broccoli was we ordered was overcooked as well. Not much service going on. Feeling we were rushed. Got the bill even we haven't finished our food. So I'll say this visit was very disappointed. Still have space and details for improvement read more

The flavors were good but for minced pork over rice, the ratio of meat to rice was a bit too low. I ordered mild spice for the malatang but probably couldve gone for spicy because it wasnt spicy at all. Service was good and it wasnt too busy on a weekday at dinner time! read more

Since our first visit, my boyfriend and I haven't been able to stop craving this place! Despite the restaurant being packed, we were seated quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. This time, we brought along two other couples because we just had to introduce them to the magic of the mala udon. We came on a super cold and rainy day, and this spot delivered exactly what we needed -- warm, comforting, and flavorful dishes. Each of us ordered a different variation of the mala udon, and we all left completely satisfied. Having recently moved to Seattle from SoCal, I can confidently say this is one of the few places I absolutely love. When friends and family visit, this will definitely be one of my go-to spots to share with them! read more

great service and good food. walked on a busy saturday night with no reservation and got seated for a party of five within 10 minutes. we ordered kung pao chicken, spicy fried rice, garlic green bean, black pepper beef, sweet and sour fish. everything was really good we especially like the kung pao chicken and fish dishes. very happy to have stumbled upon this restaurant and would definitely come back again! read more

The Seattle restaurant week deal (drink + appetizer + entree + dessert) for one could've fed at least two people. Taiwanese mango beer was light and refreshing--best beer I've ever had? Would recommend the popcorn chicken and fried buns with condensed milk. The mala tang was ok, loaded with lots of goodies, but mala is better done in Sichuan cuisine. You can skip it because spicy food is not Taiwan's forte. Taiwanese friends say this place is legit so do check it out. read more

Was super excited to try this place! It ended up being just okay (3.5 stars if I could). The portions were on the modest side, I got the house special with chicken which it felt a little dry and not seasoned. Would suggest asking for more spicy if you can handle it. read more

The store has a great 蔥爆牛肉, and Pop Co Over Rice is nice too. Don't forget to get one, buy one, get one free when you show the review on yelp read more

This is purely comparative, but I just think that, as one of the few Taiwanese restaurants in the area, it gets a lot of slack for having very standard, middle of the road taiwanese food. Like, I have had better beef noodle soups, not so much so that I would call theirs bad, but it ends up being just fine. Nothing really wowed me, but nothing disappointed me either. And you know, when you're your only competition, it's easy for others to inflate your reputation. read more

Yum!! Amazing flavorful broth. I ordered the house special with mild spicy and it was the perfect amount of spicy. Will definitely be back again! read more

We came here multiple times and the foods are very consistent and the price was good considering this is a popular Seattle restaurant (hence an extra star instead of 3 for flavor). . Garlic string beans were just ok. They were crunchy but missed some flavors . All of their soup dishes are not spicy enough which was a bit bummer but the meat quality was great. . Taiwanese sausage was too sweet and minced pork . The chicken that came with the fries were good, not too spicy . The onion pan cake was one of the best I have ever tried. It was crazily thin but crispy and not oily read more

The food is great, the customer service could use some improvements. Unfortunately the waitresses weren't loving of the dietary restrictions of our party. And was just saying yes to everything even though there may have been a language barrier. The experience was poor and the waitresses weren't very helpful as it was expected we just use the online ordering system which was not very straightforward. The lunch special is quite confusing, and they were not in the mood to explain it. Food was 5 stars, and service was 2. read more

I'm still scratching my head on how 19 Gold made it onto Eater and how it has so many high reviews on Yelp.. Our experience was extremely underwhelming and overall just meh. We walked in around 6pm and got seated really quickly. The server went over the menu with us and hyped up their malatang, so I thought why not..? I ordered the house special malatang with original broth and my fiance got the beef noodle soup. I also ordered a honey green tea, which was probably my best decision of the night. The malatang was a big pass. The broth was overly garlicky, so much so it was like spicy garlic water. I love garlic, but that was way too much and there was no depth to the broth. The toppings were your generic BP/Taiwanese hot pot items, so nothing too special with that. The beef noodle soup came out lukewarm. The beef was even border line cold in the center. The bowl was mostly the broth and maybe 5-6 smaller chunks of beef. It didn't look too appetizing to be honest, and nothing near what the photos on here looked like. The best thing of the night was the honey green tea. Lots of honey flavor and really helped wash down the spicy garlic water. Hard pass for me. read more

Delicious Taiwanese spot with both food and boba. Popcorn chicken over rice is delicious and sizeable portion. Careful though on the malatang, even the mild is pretty spicy! read more

We stumbled upon 19 GOLD by chance when looking for a place for dinner before a night out because we were attracted to the warm atmosphere inside. We decided to order family style and got most items off of the stir fry menu. The fried rice, kung pao chicken, black pepper beef, sweet and sour fish, and side of green beans was enough to fill the 5 in our group. We were very pleased with this meal! read more

I ordered the mala tang original lamb and it was very flavorful with a good amount of toppings. The milk tea was also delicious.

The food looked great and the waitstaff is friendly. Would recommend visiting with a smaller party as there are a limited number of chairs per table read more

I came here with a friend after shopping around the fremont sunday market and it was a short 4 min walk! We came during late afternoon (2pm) and we were seated right away. The staff here are so friendly, we were directed to the menu and told about their current promo (BOGO boba)!! I also dropped my chopsticks and I was given new ones right away, they are so attentive! The food was also brought out immediately which was so nice. I ordered the beef noodles and it was a really decent amount with yummy broth. My friend got the mala beef udon noodles which was also a large amount and so good! For the promo we got the matcha creama and it's perfect-- the boba is cooked well, and just the right balance of matcha flavor/sweetness. For our appetizer we also got the 19 gold chicken and I didn't love the sauce but it was fried really well. The space is a bit dim and small, there is around 10 tables! But I think the layout works well and it's really clean. Check it out if you're in the area :) read more

Third time here and I am 3 for 3 satisfied ! We came to try the milk tea this time and the wintermelon at 50% sweetness was perfect ! It's silky smooth and the boba is on the smaller side, easy to chew. I got the minced pork over rice for a lighter meal. The Bok Choy was perfectly soft and the pork is slightly sweet ! The egg is boiled which isn't my favorite but it was still flavorful. I like how balanced the dish is with the meat, rice and veges. The popcorn chicken is always a go to appetizer when I want something easy to eat. The meat is soft and juicy ! The perfect snack. Service is quick and everyone is always so nice ! Always a place I'd recommend. Also perfect for the rainy Seattle weather ! read more

Seafood Lover Malatang: Rating of 1000/10. It was delicious in terms of flavor, authenticity, and the amount of variety of ingredients they put in. I ordered the extra spicy and the spice level was perfect for me (I love spicy though) Their portions are big Peach Oolong tea: Rating of 4/5 the oolong tea is very good but it is not a sweet tea (even at 100% sweetness level) Garlic String Beans: Rating of 4/5 I enjoyed how much garlic they used Deep fried buns with condensed milk: 5/5 you can tell that they put a lot of work into rolling out the dough before frying it. The buns were the perfect complement to the condensed milk. The service was amazing. The waitress was very attentive and helpful. She was constantly refilling my water if I needed more. It's not a big restaurant so I can see how it could get crowded easily. I went on a Saturday around 4:30pm and I was seated right away read more

I've been coming to this awesome place at least once a week ever since I moved to Seattle 3 years ago and the food never disappointed me, not even once. The House Special soup is my go-to along with the minced pork rice (which in my opinion tastes better than the ones I had in Taiwan). Staff is always very friendly and helpful in recommending new dishes! I've always felt welcomed and the vibes are on point for casual nights, date night, and friend get-togethers. Would 12/10 recommend! read more
