Szechuan Chicken
Pat F.

Stopped in for another early lunch while working in the area. This time the owner had not opened it after opening hours but saw me trying to come in. She tried to offer take out and when I asked to eat there she looked at my work boots and up again and agreed that I was worthy. It was odd. I'm quite comfortable in my work clothes doing the craziest shopping and dining but this was a bit much. The Szechuan beef this time was extra spongy from too much baking soda and the fried rice had a weird off putting flavor and really fine in nature like broken rice in Vietnamese cuisine which I dint care for. I love the full grain rice. I think it was leftover since I was their first diner. Otherwise a one wonton cup of soup and decent volume and protein it is just a very average $20 Chinese food lunch after tip that I was at least grateful to get on the hill.

Long Island Tea. Yummy.
Bob B.

Went to go swim and August Moon was right across the street. A great way to fill our hunger. We were welcomed in and our food came out perfect. I am a fan of Almond Fried Chicken and it's rare to find it done to perfection. Resturant is clean and try out their Long Island tea. Yummy.

Cashew Chicken and Sesame Prawns
Christina P.

Wow! What a gem - amazing hole in the wall Chinese place that gets all five stars. The restaurant itself is very clean and the pink seating booth are so cute! We ordered the $25pp deluxe dinner and got wonton soup (amazing), chow mein, sesame prawns, cashew chicken. A Riesling to drink which was very cold and crisp. Portion were huge and came out quickly and was steaming hot! The owner was talkative and very sweet too. Love this place!

Mongolian Tofu
Paulina B.

We love this little restaurant. We always get their takeout twice a month when we don't feel like cooking. Also I took my girlfriends there for lunch in their restaurant a month ago. My friends were impressed and absolutely loved their food. Their fried rice, Mongolian Beef, Mongolian tofu, hot and sour soup are the best. Their appetizers too are yummy. The staff there are very nice, friendly, and attentive yet professional. Thank you Mr Ching for making your customer happy with my food order!

Chicken fried rice
Gabrielle B.

I was impressed with august moon Chinese restaurant! I ordered take out on Christmas and the restaurant seemed VERY popular. I ordered chicken fried rice, Mongolian tofu, Szechwan tofu, spring rolls and a side of white rice. The portions were all very impressive. Even the side of rice was a Togo box packed full of rice. The tofus were both very flavorful, and lots of veggies! The tofu dishes did not come with rice, so I would recommend ordering a side. The quality of food was very good and I really enjoyed all of the tofu. The spring rolls were hands down the best I've ever had. You could hear the crispy crunch as you bit into it and it was perfectly flaky. The inside appeared to just be cabbage, and the cool vegetable nicely offset the fried outside. Dipped in the sweet and sour sauce created the perfect medley of flavors. It also came with a mustard sauce that I didn't try. The chicken was reported to be moist in the fried rice and very flavorful! I did not try it myself (vegetarian) but it looked very good. I also loved the fortune cookies!

Chicken Chow Fun - takeout
Courtney L.

I can only go so long before I start craving one of my favorite noodle dishes.... Chow Fun! On a weekday for lunch, two of us decided to treat ourselves to takeout from August Moon. This modest family-owned restaurant has been operating for years and I was relieved to see them still thriving during this challenging time. When we went to pick up our food, the kitchen staff was keeping busy cooking and customers were actively calling in orders. All promising signs of success! I appreciated the friendly service and they even went the extra mile by sanitizing my credit card after handling it. While not expected, their initiative to do so showed great care for their customers. When we got home and opened the chow fun, we couldn't help but notice how dark it looked. As we expected, it was overly salty, but still tasty otherwise. It had that delicious fresh-off-the-wok flavor, perfect chewy noodles, crisp bean sprouts and tender pieces of chicken. While they could have lightened up on the soy sauce, my craving for chow fun was ultimately fulfilled (for the time being). We also ordered an appetizer of the Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings which included half drumettes and half "flats". These were seasoned nicely, balanced between salty and sweet. They were also sprinkled with diced pepper, onion and carrot which added some crunch. Interestingly, the wings are labeled as spicy on the menu, but I thought they were very mild. I'm guessing since we never specified the level of heat (thought they would be spicy by default), perhaps they left ours plain. Next time, I'll request a spice level and see if it makes a difference. August Moon's menu is huge, so I'm looking forward to ordering some of their other dishes. Despite a couple minor snags with the food this time, the service left a lasting impression and I'm eager to give them another try!

Wasabi Prawn appetizer (AMAZINGLY DELISH)

My…read morego-to order every single time is their spicy beef--it is hands-down some of the best I've ever had. The flavor profile is unbeatable: packed with rich chili oil, fragrant spices, and that signature mouth-numbing Sichuan pepper kick that leaves you craving more. The beef is always super tender and packed with bold, authentic flavor in every bite. It is so good that I regularly drive 30 minutes each way just to pick up takeout, and it is 100% worth every single mile. If a restaurant makes you willingly make a hour-long round trip just for pickup, you know it's something special. Highly recommend checking them out if you love bold, authentic, flavorful food!

Absolutely incredible. Easily one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the Seattle area. I was…read moreinitially a bit dubious of this place because their photos of their dishes looked a little _too_ picture perfect / social media ready, but Shaoshan Impression turned out to be one of the most authentic and delicious restaurants I've been to in the area so far. Our favorite had to be the duo jiao yu pian (two super tender, juicy white fish filets coated in two different sauces. One was pure spiced and the other had suan cai, a slightly funky and sour pickled veggie). We also loved the stir-fried eggplant and green beans, which was perfectly tender and intensely savory. It was great to have some veggies to break up the otherwise intensely protein-forward meal, and the veggies were all so well-prepared. Despite the menu saying the dish was spicy, I didn't find it spicy at all, so it was also a good break from the rest of the peppery dishes. We also had their stir-fried shrimp, which had an incredibly extravagant presentation, with mountains of red chili peppers and a burner to keep the dish warm throughout the meal, but I thought that the shrimp were a smidge overcooked and more salty than spicy. Nonetheless, the meal was delightful, and, even more importantly, it received the Asian parent stamp of approval! The service was also quite efficient and friendly. There was a kiosk near the front door to join the waitlist, but we ended up only having to wait ~5 minutes before being seated. We ordered off a QR code at the table, but the food all came out quickly and our server was incredibly attentive -- he preempted our every need and refilled water, brought new napkins, and cleared completed dishes almost the second we were ready.

If you don't want to head into Bellevue or Chinatown for quality BBQ meats, count on Famous…read moreKitchen! Located in Issaquah, this modest local restaurant specializes in Chinese BBQ while offering a wide selection of Chinese dishes. We came here for Saturday takeout around 11:30AM. The two employees behind the counter were already busy chopping meats and packing to-go boxes while managing a few dine-in customers. They acknowledged us right away and let us know they would be with us in a few minutes, which was no problem at all. After we placed our order, it was ready in about 15 minutes. + ROAST DUCK ($41.99, whole): Many of the pieces were meaty, succulent and had that delectable five-spice seasoning. It wasn't overly salty and the meat itself was nice and tender. While the skin was a little difficult to bite through, it was roasted to a beautiful golden brown. So good with a bowl of rice! + ROAST PORK ($10.99, half pound): I don't normally like roast pork due to the thick layers of fat, but this one was surprisingly on the leaner side! The fat was still there, but much less than expected and melded well with the meat. The skin was super crisp like a cracker! + CHAR SIU ($21.99, full pound): Chopped into perfectly bite-sized pieces, the pork was also fairly lean with an addicting sweet honey glaze. Most slices were tender, but some of them were a little tough (like when it isn't cut against the grain). Still delicious though! + SWEET & SOUR EGGPLANT ($19.99): I was under the impression this would be a vegetarian dish, but there is also some chopped chicken mixed into the sauce for extra substance. The eggplant was velvety and smooth, though it was completely overtaken by the sauce which was on the gloppy side. The sauce had a nice balance between sweet and tangy, but there was just too much of it; I would have preferred the eggplant lightly tossed or glazed rather than swimming in it. + HOUSE SPECIAL FRIED NOODLE ($20.99): I can't resist a noodle dish and this was no exception! The whole takeout container was stuffed to the brim with long noodles and a mix of shrimp, squid, fish, onions, bean sprouts and carrots. I loved the bites of seafood and the vegetables gave it some crunch. I scooped up seconds and thirds onto my plate. Prices may seem elevated for a Chinese restaurant, but well worth it for the quality. We felt that more eggplant could have been included in our container, but the rest of the dishes offered generous portions. We even had a good amount of meat left to enjoy the next day!

Very good food, reasonable prices, friendly service…read more I ordered the duck noodle soup which was very good. I love that the meals come with large pieces of baby bok choy. I also got a BBQ pork meal to go. Both meals were very good.

My partner was craving green beans (string beans) so we decided to make a stop here. As I…read morenavigated, I felt like the plaza was familiar to me. It was, because Tasty House took over a former Chinese spot but improved on their quality. Ample parking in a good location. While they offer physical menus, they also have QR codes at each table for simple ordering online. We are accustomed to spots including rice with entrees so having to order it separately for an extra $2 per bowl feels bad. Items are large, so tailored for family style. Stir Fried Green Bean - as a green beans fanatic, my partner was a huge fan of the ones here. She liked these over our usual Canto spot which says a lot. The green beans themselves were fresh and cooked perfectly but the sauce was more flavorful than most. Very savory and lightly salty, not really spicy. Sweet and Sour Chicken - missing the onions and pineapple but a very sizable portion of large, tasty battered chicken paired with juicy and crunchy bell peppers. Definitely pair with some rice, there's a lot of sauce and a simple carb helps with balance. Shredded Pork with Sweet Bean Sauce - I was attracted by the steamed buns (gua bao), but the pork was tasty. A bit fatty and drenched in a savory, umami bean sauce, a simple carb like rice will help soak up sauce and balance flavors. There aren't enough buns for the meat, but they are a simple carb that balance out the meat and honestly, a refreshing change in flavor and texture.

This is a great new-ish Szechuan restaurant in Bellevue! Even if you're not a fan of spice, they…read moreoffer a number of items that are mild or have no spice at all. Two of us came in at noon on a Sunday and we were seated immediately. A carafe of water with lemon was already placed on the table and we asked for a pot of tea which was complimentary. Out of their large menu, we selected three dishes which turned out to be a well-balanced meal. The food came out more quickly than expected and the portions were generous! While we polished off the vegetable dish, we had enough noodles and chicken for another serving. + CHONG QING HOT CHICKEN ($21.99): Small fried pieces of chicken came tossed in spicy seasoning and a ton of dried chili peppers. The online menu displays three pepper icons which I'd describe as accurate... I could definitely feel the heat! Despite the moderate tingling, I couldn't stop eating these as the outside was perfectly crispy, the chicken was juicy inside and the pieces weren't too salty either. I just wish the chunks of chicken were larger. Many of them were so small that it felt like I was eating just crust. + HOT & SPICY HAND SHAVEN NOODLES ($15.99): Really good! These noodles are hand-cut, so they come in a variety of lengths and thickness. I asked about the spice level on this dish and the waiter said it's between one and two stars, but you can ask them to make it spicier if you'd like. I personally didn't find them very spicy, especially not compared to the Chong Qing Hot Chicken! The noodles had a nice firm chew and the sauce was addicting too. For our meat option, we chose beef, which was super tender and thinly sliced. An ample amount of cabbage added some crunch. + STIR-FRIED GREEN BEANS ($15.99): These beans were so delicious and tossed with a ton of chopped garlic. This was not spicy at all, but full of flavor. We kept scooping more and more beans onto our plates. The employees who we interacted with were personable and as we packed our leftovers, we asked for a couple cups of hot water to end our meal. The waiter kindly brought them over and also gave us a heads up that the kitchen was closing in 10 minutes at 3:00P, just in case we wanted to order anything else. At 3:00P, the staff all take their lunch break and the restaurant opens back up at 5:00P for dinner. Given the various table sizes, this restaurant can accommodate groups of different sizes. There are many four-person tables, but also a couple larger tables in the front and what appeared to be a separate room behind two doors. I recommend Tasty House for a good local Szechuan spot! 4.25 stars.

Nope, it came out 30 mins later, as if she put in a new order just then (so in a to-go container as we were leaving). Taste. 1) the calami was terrible, just terrible. I'm so glad I didn't actually order it 2) salt 'n pepper chicken - it was just battered and fried chicken, which was tasty. But it had no salt 'n pepper seasoning (you know, the crunchy onions and salt etc). $25 3) Mushrooms and peas. Tasted good, but again, why the skimping on food? There was just a handful of peas, most of the dish was celery. (Just call it celery with mushrooms then). It was $18. 4) Chicken feet were delicious. No notes. So 4 stars for food taste (-1 star for skimping), and 1 star for service so overall 3.
