It has hanging meat in its window like a classic…read moreChinatown take out restaurant but it's run by a Vietnamese family and has a Vietnamese-themed mural on the wall. They play electro dance music and the TV just cycles between short clips of cities like Rio de Janiero. Nothing is particularly cohesive but service is very friendly and they show up where it counts, the food. Food: I'm an American born Chinese kid from California and the food here could go head to head with anything in San Diego or LA. The broth is clean and simple Chinese style soup, not too salty and perfectly reduced. They load the bowls with tons of protein and are very flexible with whatever combination of proteins you want. The cha sui is perfect with just the right amount of sweet glaze and a touch of char to keep it interesting. The roast pork has one of the crispiest skins I've had which you can just let soak in the broth to your desired consistency. The duck is moist, tender, and relatively meaty (sometimes restaurants source scrawny ducks which are mostly bone). The weakest part of dish is the which have that store-bought taste and could be fresher and slightly more al dente. Overall this some of the best Chinese BBQ I've had, as good as any major city I've been. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area!

The food comes out flavorful, fresh, and just hits every time. You can tell they put a lot of care into what they serve. The atmosphere feels lively because of how packed it gets, which kind of adds to the experience. Even when there's a wait, it moves pretty fast and once you're seated, it's all worth it. If you're thinking about going, just go and be prepared to wait a little, but trust me, you won't regret it.

No-brainer... 5 Stars!…read more Indo Asian Street Eatery is a gem! Our server Thien was incredible!!!Super attentive and even noticed it was my birthday just by looking at my ID. Talk about attention to detail! The drinks (Imperial Coconut and First Bloom) were gorgeous and tasty. As for the food, the Salt & Pepper Tofu, Calamari, and Crispy Garlic Chicken were all hits. The portions are huge, so you definitely get your money's worth. The highlight was Thien offering a complimentary birthday treat at the end of the meal. It really made my day! The vibe is clean and aesthetically pleasing, and the service is top-notch. Yes, there's a 4% card surcharge, but for an experience this good, I didn't mind at all. We'll definitely be back!

(In transparency I do want the assurance of customers enjoying food sitting around me when I eat). The food, was only middle of the road, with a dish or two being below our expectations.

The deep-fried fish, Szechuan style, was my favorite out of all the dishes. Fried to perfection with the hint of spice on the batter. Their honey walnut prawns were exciting to eat as they were large and covered in tasty sauce. Their twice cooked pork belly literally melts in your mouth- yum. We also had many of their other dishes like noodles, fried rice, and veggie platters, but I had to list a few of my favorites. The restrooms need an upgrade, but other than that, food is delicious and I will be returning for more.

The food is still top notch and the service is speedy. But the restaurant is now very warm. The floors are really slippery so be careful, but it's a nice fast paced Chinese restaurant you can get dim sum instead of the normal yum cha times of seattle Chinatown. If you want really good Chinese food at breakneck speeds, want to feel like you're at your Chinese ma's house as she's yelling at the kids in the background, this is it! We even had a loud Chinese conversation that I had to tell my husband "shes not angry, just very busy and trying to get orders out". The only annoying thing is their uber eats notification is consistently on fire. Dinged enough to notice it through the entire meal.
