I've been here about 3 or 4 times and overall, my experiences leave me neutral about this place. But why have I come back more than once if it wasn't that great? Well, it's just one of those places... Everyone raves about the chicken wings here.... I'm sorry but I've got to be the one to say it... it's nothing special... I honestly think anyone can do better in their own kitchen... I've had it twice and both times, it didn't do much for me... not to mention... I could totally taste the artificial plumping of the chicken. I practically ate the skin only and left every trace of meat there was on the wing. The meat of the wings just had an unfriendly taste that I just couldn't do with. Their congee (pork and egg) is also just okay... I found that it was a bit lacking in flavor... I got it when I was really craving a hot bowl of it but sadly it didn't do any justice and I barely touched it. Usually when this happens, I could simply fix it with some condiments that are on the table... but it didn't do that for me.. Their roasted duck is a-okay... It's not the best, but not the worst... I am the biggest fan of roasted duck and I could say, this would not be my go-to spot for it... Surprisingly, their Salted Fish Fried Rice is actually pretty good... Even though it's quite plain... as it should be?... it had a good simple flavor to it that made me continuously scoop more on my plate. _______ Recently, my bf and I came here, as we couldn't figure out what to eat and the thought of some roasted duck and rice came to mind.. So I suggested 663 because I knew they had the BBQ options with rice as individual combos... My bf got the soy sauce chicken and roasted duck over rice.. and I got the roasted duck and roasted pork over rice... What we thought would be a decent meal went downhill when they brought us our plates and we realized that they had submerged everything in the soysauce that usually comes in a cup on the side... HOW COULD YOU RUIN SOMETHING SO SIMPLE??? Every single piece of meat we had was covered in the extremely salty soy sauce. Not just that, but our rice.... only my outer pieces of rice on the plate were white... the rest of it was completely drenched and brown... We could barely eat our meal because it was so salty. Oh... what a sad night... Guess I wont be back here for a long time... Cleanliness is average.... not the cleanest place and not the dirtiest... However, I just HAVE to mention that they were closed for a day by Public Health for a few reasons... Oh, and one time, my brother was given a cup of tea with a piece of hair floating in it.... I guess that speaks for itself. read more

Food poisoning. Enough said -- is there a 0 rating? Items ordered: 1) Salt and pepper wings 2) Egg Flower soup 3) Slice Chicken with Egg Swirl over Rice 4) Curry Lamb 5) Side of Rice I will not be coming back here and will be pursuing at least a refund from this establishment. UPDATE: After calling the establishment I was "welcomed" with nothing but cynicism and a complete lack of regard or customer service. Sure, I know there's some shred of "how can I believe that you only ate at our restaurant and/or something you previously ate didn't make you sick" at play, and I totally get it. But when you're then told of how many customers on average per day come in and how many deliveries you have per day with no other reports (yet) of food poisoning today...I feel a refund as requested would be something at least they would consider, if not readily provide; NOT be told that no restaurant in China Town will give refunds for food poisoning. To be completely honest, that was THE ONLY food I had ingested all day! I have two little kids with busy schedules and hadn't had a chance to eat anything at all. They actually ALSO said some completely rude accusations/claims that were totally unfounded: The curry lamb is "oily" and may have upset my stomach. He actually claimed that my intense vomiting and diarrhea (sorry) for the entire day was because I had a sensitive tummy (ummm, no). Finally, he said the only thing they would be able to do would be to provide complimentary entrees..... Really dude? No....but thanks. Instead I'll be filing a report with the Dept of Public Health in the morning. Excuse me while I go visit the commode for the 100th time today read more

This place is seriously terrible. Ordered delivery. First problem.. I got no white rice with my delivery... Wtf? Second, I'm pretty sure the "Honey Walnut Prawns" are just shrimp bathing in sweetened mayo. So weird and off-putting. And finally, what is a curry dish doing with so much oil in it? How is this place in business? Absolutely, positively, awful. Can't be worse. read more

Food was ok but my coworker threw up and I had awful diarrhea after eating here. First and last time.

I have never experienced anything like that in a restaurant. Half way through our roast pork and dried shrimp hot pot we find a full caterpillar inside. The waiter made an excuse that it came from the vegetables. I was too disgusted and sent the dish away before taking a picture. Will never dine here again read more

Whenever I started my delivery order, sometime it takes about 30mins to get delivered. However, most of the time need to wait for at least an hour. I don't know why it's getting so long. If you are starving, you have better not order delivery here. read more

I ordered from here through a delivery service. The food came ahead of schedule but...mediocre everything. Meh. Not happy. Mapo Tofu was not traditional style, lousy sauce, not even spicy. The pot stickers tasted like the ones you get at Costco in the freezer section. Pork egg rolls missing flavor. So sad... read more

Came in here for lunch with my coworkers the other day. We work in ChinaTown why would we not want some authentic chinese. We ordered family style and man o man was the 7 of us stuffed! I LOVED the General Tso chicken! Best I have ever had and the peppered squid (aka like calamari) was delicious too. The fried rice was really bland and flavorless. Definitely coming back here though! read more

i have been to most of the chinese restaurant in china town and i think they have the best BBQ pork and duck!!!! Also, the chicken wings are great too, I love chicken wings and their chicken wings dont have thick breading on top. And they are really cheap too!!!! must try!! read more

What can I say, they serve affordable and good Chinese food. It's a great place to go when you've got the major late night munchies after partying late at night. read more

So bad. I got this delivered today. Not only did I get chicken in my vegetable chow mein, but the first bite I took was a BONE. Bone. And that wasn't the only one. Even if I ate meat, the quality looked terrible, like it was the cast offs from their dine-in guests. The chow mein itself had no flavor and was just oil. This lunch reminded me why I don't eat Chinese food. Chicken always seems to sneak its way into my food. read more

The food isn't all that spectacular but all my Hong Kong friends prefer coming either here, Hong Kong Bistro, or Pacific Cafe. It all tastes the same in my opinion, but if the HK locals prefer these places over others it must be saying something. read more

The permit was reinstated on April 14th and closed again on April 26th as stated above. read more

Bad customer servive. "Today is Monday and you have to ring the bell for help" while your staff just stand there like we are invisible. I rather take business somewhere who is thankful to have a customer. read more

I wasn't expecting Chinese Barbecue better than Kau Kau, but here it is. I've only had roast pork and BBQ Pork to go, but both are great with the roast pork being the best I've ever had. read more

Great food for a good price. The honey walnut shrimp are great, the salt and pepper chicken is great, and the ung choy (hollow vegetable) with bean curd sauce is great. The staff is good too. Also, the roast duck is great. read more

Thank God for 663 staying open so late! I was desperately in need of some food at 10am last night and there they were!! I got the baked seafood spaghetti with red sauce and my brother got the baked fish rice with white sauce. It was good but they wouldn't do it with cheese unless I switched items. I've also been here another time and had the flat wide noodles with shrimp and egg. Good deal. I was happy with both dishes. read more

I'm Chinese but don't have family here, so when I moved here I just couldn't find a Chinese restaurant I wanted to go back to. There is the super authentic ones then there's Americanized Chinese food. This one is leaning towards the authentic side, but with good prices and a huge menu. I love the salted pepper chicken wings (appetizer) the most. I'm planning to go back and eat mostly everything on the menu at some point! read more

Ok, the best part of this place is the portion sizes are huge for the price. The worst part about it is that the food can be a bit unhealthy. Make sure to bring cash since they don't take credit here. I like the Tawainese Pork Chops (Breaded and Deep Fried). They are not light but they are usually pretty tasty. I also think their curry dishes are pretty rich. They chicken wings are pretty tasty. I used to go here with friends for lunch more often but have been choosing more healthy options. I would recommend it for an authentic experience in the ID. read more

We ate here Saturday night and it was one of the worst meals I have ever had in Seattle. We went there on the theory if it is busy, it must be good. We ordered three entrees for the two of us. Granted we got tons of food and it was cheap. It is like the Asian equivalent of a Denny's. We had the BBQ plate with three meats. All were cold, fatty and tasteless. We ordered the seafood curry which was utterly tasteless and watery. We ordered the chowmein with vegetables which had no flavor at all. I couldn't even eat it, it was so bad. The waitress was shocked we didn't want our leftovers packed to go because we had so much food left. We eat out alot and this place was a nightmare. Very clean and nice service, but that is the only redeeming quality. Also loaded with MSG, so we felt bloated for hours after we left. You have been warned. read more

Honestly, once you get past the service and half the menu. Their beef stomach egg noodle soup is amazing. The beef is very tender and their bokchoy are always fresh. read more

Most of the food I had in Seattle's Chinatown was excellent, especially as someone coming from Northern Virginia where the majority of Chinese restaurants I've tried aren't very good. I was in Seattle for 10 days and 663 Bistro is the restaurant that stands out the most in my memory. Prices are low and the food was superb. The curried beef brisket was my favorite; the thick, yellow sauce was full of flavor and the beef was tender and cooked perfectly. I enjoyed their hot and sour soup. The eggplant hotpot (we ordered with chicken instead of pork) was delicious as well . I'm a picky eater so I did not try the crab or pork but those dishes disappeared quickly from the table. One thing to note--I was visiting with a party of about 20 loud, chatty people but the talking seemed to stop when we were eating so we could concentrate on the food :). No, it's not healthy and probably not very clean but if you're looking for place to sit down and enjoy some authentic Chinese food then this is definitely a place to visit. read more

Just sayin...they still have the best pea vines and I've been doing my research.

For a random 11:30am lunchtime during the workweek, this restaurant was pretty busy. Nearly all of the larger tables with lazy susan's were filled and so my coworkers and I were left at a normal round table sans susan. Sad times without a lazy susan to spin our food around in. The menu itself is filled with your standard Americanized Chinese foods like General Tso's chicken and mongolian beef to the more Chinese foods like cod with creamed corn and roast duck in soup with noodles. To the disgust of my coworkers, I went with the cod with creamed corn of course. Now I ran into the reason I'm giving this place 3 stars instead of 4. Once I placed my order, I started eagerly awaiting the arrival of my food. 20 minutes into the wait, I started salivating as I could smell the delicious aroma of the food at the other tables. 40 minutes in, I had to convince my stomach to not eat itself. Finally, an hour later my party managed to get our food. We were told one cook was out but taking over an hour to get 5 plates out is rather excessive during a lunch where it looked like most of the other people dining had already been served by the time we were seated. Thankfully, these complaints were washed away once I took my first bite of white steamed rice mixed with fried cod pieces and coated in a layer of corn sauce and sprinkled with bits of corn. This was one of the better fish and corn dishes I've had. The pieces of fish were quite large and the plate was otherwise filled to the brim with corn and its associated cream. 20 minutes later, I was about to pass out from a food coma when I then realized: the servings themselves were huge. I had only eaten half my plate and so one order was enough to become two day's worth of lunches. For a final bill of about $11, I was pretty satisfied. I would have liked getting much faster service but the food was otherwise great. I look forward to trying this place again and hopefully giving it the 4 it deserves. read more

When I want some deep fried eggplant stuffed with chili, this is the only place I can find it (I suppose I could find it in my kitchen...but eh, why not have someone else make it from time to time, right?). Although 663 is not open as late as some of its neighbors, their food is good and always seems to hit the spot. They often have roast pig, and this is very good as I can't ever seem to stray far from crispy-skinned pork (I can sense someone saying "nasty" out loud as they read that). Their congee also comes with two style options if chicken is added--bone in, or boneless. I still keep it boneless, but many places fail to offer this as well. All in all, the place is good, relatively clean and tasty. read more

I've been here a couple times. They don't have lunch specials. They only have family style dining. It's only good if you come with a group of people. Not so good if you're just on a lunch run. The interior is nothing fancy. The last time I came in they had boxes stacked up as if they were either moving in or moving out. The service isn't quick either. The only thing I like about this place is the pea vine, but I can get pea vine at a closer location to my work. read more

Heard was under new management by a friend so we decided to come here. Don't know how long ago that was but I'm assuming the chef was changed as well. The food was not all this good as it used to be. The BBQ pork had a weird flavor to it. Definitely was not tasteful. Whatever the chef was trying to accomplish, was not successful. Maybe i'll come back when they finish up their trial and error. read more

We had General Tso's chicken, Fish with Eggplant hot pot, honey walnut prawns, and barbecued pork. Everything was fantastic! This might be my favorite General Tso's chicken in Seattle; it was sweet, tangy and crispy! They also have a good selection of barbecued meats hanging in the front window; ribs, pork and whole ducks. read more

Truly terrible Chinese food. Three hour delivery out time on a Monday, bad customer service. I will never eat here again

I loved this place, so this hurts. Also my only 1 star review ever (so far). While eating dinner, a cockroach ran across the table, right over the napkins and around the food. We told the server, who then offered to move us to another table, but that was the extent of the acknowledgement of pests. Maybe coincidentally, the food that day was really, really bad. Tasted like water and rice, meaning it tasted like nothing and had the consistency of runny boogers. So 1 star for bad food and no food cleanliness. read more

Ordered wonton noodles with BBQ pork. Pork looked and tasted like they killed the dead pig (twice)--tough, big chunks, no color, no taste. Made sense, cuz while we were leaving and walked past the window , we saw the lifeless slabs of BBQ pork ailing in the pan probably for the past 24 hours or more. Now the worst part--within 15 minutes of leaving the restaurant--we literally had to make a bathroom run at the gas station. BEWARE!!!! read more

Finally, we find the place we like for roast pork! it is sooo good. We tried the salted pepper squid, peavine with garlic sauce....portion is quite generous. read more

We went there for lunch and we're the only customer there. We ordered 1 dish, which is dry noodle and it took them 45 minutes to cook it. It can easily be cooked in 5-10 minutes. We wanted to order other stuffs, but they told me since the lady who cooks wasn't in yet, they couldn't take the order. So disappointed with their service. read more

I would MUCH RATHER eat a seven eleven sandwich or a lean cuisine than relive the $51 meal I ordered from this place. Probably the grossest thing I've eaten in years - nearly flavorless, but the flavors I could taste made me want to throw up. Even the thought of the crab meat and scallop noodle thing I ordered makes me feel ill. The ginger chicken was slimy/soupy. And the tofu dish was gross too, somehow. I hate yelp. I think it is bullshit. I need to share this review so that others will not have to suffer the punishment of ordering from this restaurant. I am concerned that I may grow tentacles (OR WORSE, TESTICLES...) by the way- I am a white girl who grew up in Shanghai, China. I don't know much about cantonese food, but I've had my share of delicious Shanghainese dishes. read more

Worst service ever. I ordered they couldn't figure out how to get to my apartment. After an hour they kept trying to buzz up I kept trying to buzz them up they kept calling. 2 hours later after trying to call the store their voicemail full. I still dont Have my food. They are the worst! read more

Never ever in my life have I ever been more thoroughly disrespected than I have at this place. Not only was the service awful but the waitress insulted (and pointed out to my whole table) my adult acne-and then said it was a result of a drinking problem. When I asked her to stop talking she insisted that she knew what she was talking about because she used to be a club promoter and could recognize the signs. What an awful bitch. I guess in her world women don't have hormones or stress. Don't eat here unless you want your most vulnerable traits dished up and discussed by some insensitive trash wait staff. read more

Very disappointing!! We're looking for a place with roast pork and thought to try this one. While waiting for food some flies started to come then while we are eating more and more flies came, the server can see us swaying away the flies but not doing anything. I guess the staff dont care. I even mentioned it while paying the bill and he just said ok. We left in a hurry and not finished our food. The meat even tasted like its old. Will never come back here!! read more

Surprised I haven't reviewed this place, it's one of my favorites in the ID. The drinks are pretty authentic HK flavor - milk tea, yin yang, u name it. Also the BBQ meats, esp the roast pork, are some of the best. I usually also love the BBQ pork but last time I came it was a bit tough. Great go-to place for me when I feel like Cantonese food! read more

Very authentic chinese food, for better or for worse (for better for me). Ate here in a large group and the food just kept coming, I think I tried ten different dishes. It was the sort of meal where you didn't even know what you were putting in your mouth half the time (at least I didn't because I'm white through and through...) but it didn't matter because it was all fresh and tasty. Great for a big group dinner and a responsive wait staff are plusses as well. read more

This is my favorite Hong Kong style Chinese place in the ID. I'm still not sure what the heck Hong Kong style even is but this place is good. Been here a couple times and everything i have tried has been awesome. Lotus root beef, general tso's, fried rice, and salt and pepper squid are my favs. I'll be back! read more
