Kicking myself for not trying this restaurant earlier. Chiang's Gourmet is easily one of the best Chinese restaurants on the North side of Seattle! We went for dim sum, which they serve from 10:30am-3pm Sat and Sun. We arrived at around 11am on Sunday and were seated almost immediately. The food was delicious and fresh, and our server was incredibly nice! Food: Baked Cake Wrapped with Stuffing of Beef: 5/5, this was recommended by our server and it was delicious! It was similar to a meat pie with a yummy umami beef and veggie filling. Pork Shui Mai with Shrimp: 5/5, some of the best shui mai I've had. Juicy meaty filling with great flavor. Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf: 5/5, delicious sticky rice! Great filling of Chinese Sausage, beef, mushrooms, etc. Sweet Rice Round Dumpling Wrapped with Dried Turnip, Fritters of Twisted Dough & Fried Shredded Meat: 3/5, probably would not order this again. It was good, but the filling was a bit too salty for my taste buds. Steamed BBQ Pork Bun: 3/5, solid bbq pork buns, but nothing to write home about. I prefer a higher filling-to-bun ratio. Deep Fried Meat Dumplings: 2/5, not my favorite. Too much dough and not enough different flavors in the filling. Overall, I definitely plan to try this place again, with a couple of adjustments to the order (and possibly more than 2 people so we can try more dishes!). I also want to try their regular lunch/dinner menu. read more

This is honestly a hidden gem. The exterior looks very old and outdated. It does have a parking lot which is convenient. food actually tastes amazing. Price is very affordable for the portion. Will come back. read more

This is absolutely the worst Chinese food I have ever had. It was either overcooked or undercooked. The quality of the food was horrific. I do not recommend this stay away. What a rip off and it's way overpriced. read more

I love Chinese for lunch and finally found the perfect place for me. I tried a number of their lunch specials and enjoyed them all. I've yet to try the dim sum on the weekend but look forward to trying them out. The staff are friendly and fast. Love this place! read more

This is now my 3rd (!!!) review of Chiang's and this place still reigns supreme. My family has been coming here for over 10 years now, and I make a point of having a meal here every time I come back to visit Seattle. It's still the same friendly people and the same welcoming atmosphere. I am SO happy that they survived the pandemic, although I guess I shouldn't be surprised since they've always had a pretty robust takeout customer base. All my old favorites are still consistently great--the jajiangmian, the mushu pork or vegetable, the dry fried string beans, the wu geng chang wang (blood tofu and pork intestine in a spicy sauce), the mei cai kou rou (pork belly with mustard greens), the taro spare ribs...and if you're into it, the stinky tofu is pretty good here, too. The woman who runs the place is always coming by with pro tips on how to best eat your leftovers, which I think is awesome. I hope this place continues to thrive and stick around, because they do it best. read more

Great spot for Chinese food in the Northgate/Greenlake area! Got to try their Five Star Spicy Hot Chicken, which I believe is a MUST GET. It is super crispy and packed with flavor. It's not as spicy as it may seem so don't hesitate~ I also tried their Fish with Salt and Pepper, which was light and crispy, with just a lil kick from the jalapeños. And lastly, we got their Green Beans, which tasted just like you would expect it ( *: read more

It's pretty good since it has great dumplings noodles, and other dishes. It has great takeout and it's pretty good.

Everyone was hungry before I had a chance to take photos. Best meal I have to say. We did come in after 2:30PM. But I have to say they are super tasty. Fresh ingredients with superb prepping. Every single dish is unique. (1) Honey walnut prawn - lightly breaded deep fried prawns with very lightly coated sauce accompany with crunchy walnut. (2) Shredded pork with dried bean curd & yellow leeks - yellow leeks flavor definitely penetrated thru out the dish. Soft and tasty tofu with enough browning pork without drying the whole dish. Not greasy nor swimming in sauce. Just perfect. (3) Salt & pepper pork chop - omg!! The best pork chop I ever have!! I am not foodie. But coming from family who used to own restaurant and trying so many different S&P pork chop dishes. It's the right thickness without over drying. Lightly breaded deep fried pork chop with light salt taste and thin crunchiness outside with moist and well marinated inside. Perfect balance. The S&P with basil on top completed the taste. (4) Black mushroom, snow peas , broccoli in brown sauce - another tasty veggie dish with enough sauce to coat the veggies and yet maintain the freshness/crispiness. (5) Bean curd & bean curd tripe with hot sauce in hotpot - I have never had this dish ever before. This one is supposed to be well known with pig intestines and such. I have major mental block eating anything with intestine, liver, and such. I was glad it had veggie version. So decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, family members can't tolerant the spiciness. This dish was requested without any spice. Wish I would have the spicy one. This one is okay for me. I believe it is also missing basil. It is great on the rice with its brown sauce and tofu/veggies. A bit of too saltiness in my opinion without the subtle sweet taste for balance. Bottom line, food is yummy. We admit that togo typically compromise the freshness and tastes comparing to dining in. Please support local business. And our Waitress, Ru was very attentive and nice. We will study menu further more for the next visit in couple days. read more

Ate here today with my mom, sister and 2 cousins for lunch. The restaurant there is really quiet. We had ordered the Szechuan foods there such as the 5 star chicken. The food there tasted very good and delicious. Also, the service was really good, friendly, attentive and super quick to get our foods. Finally, we definitely will eat and come back again anytime! :) read more

Love this place! The service is super friendly and the food is delicious!! I'm still thinking about the stir fried shredded beef dish.. ugh and the fried scallops with garlic and chili?! Are you kidding me!! So good. The outside doesn't look the best, but the food supersedes the appearance. We got the shredded beef dish, pork intestine hotpot, fried scallops with garlic and chili, soybean milk, and the handmade noodle tossed in some sort of soy sauce. It was all amazing. Ask the server for their recommendations. Can't wait to go back and order more!! It's family style so bring and appetite; or don't - just take it home for delicious leftovers!! read more

Seattles best kept secret. 11/10 you will not regret going here. I recommend the green beans, the five star chicken, and Mongolian beef

MIC DROP PLEASE! I am so in love with this place it isn't funny. I have walked by this place 100's of times and never stepped foot into this Chinese food heaven of a place! I literately believe this is the best Chinese food in Seattle. The Salt-N-Pepper prawns are absolutely delectable, the green beans are flavor-packed, and last but not least...THE SPICY CHICKEN! It's literately 5-star chicken, y'all. I have came back to this place so many times for takeout and will continue to do so. It's a little questionable on the outside, but they know their stuff and you'll find yourself coming back for more. 10/10. read more

I came in with no expectations, but still left disappointed, bothered, and tired. Our table of four waited over 20 minutes for food, which then arrived cold. The walnut shrimp was soggy and completely flavorless. The 5-star chicken was decent, but a few bites in, I started feeling sleepy--most likely due to the excessive amount of MSG--and left with a headache. To top it off, they added an automatic 20% gratuity without informing us. I can understand an automatic gratuity for good service, but in this case, there was no service at all. read more

This place is legit! We weren't expecting much based on the outside and the customer photos but we were very wrong. The food is excellent. We ordered the traditional Chinese dishes, which is our preference over American Chinese food. We haven't had their dim sum yet, but are excited to go back to try it! read more

Its the best chinese food in seattle. They have three menus and everything is delicious, the owner recommends stuff to add to make your order better (persistently) but she is also never ever wrong. I have tried a lot of new things because of her and they are all great. HUGE shoutout to the garlic green beans and the spicy eggplant, If you go for noodles get the hand rolled. Dont sleep on it. read more

I've lived in the neighborhood for 6 years and for 5 of those years I thought this building was derelict. When we finally ended up going, I was shocked to find the restaurant absolutely packed with people! Food was good and I plan to go back. read more

this place is really yummy especially the items from the "chinese" menu - for ex dan dan noodles and similar. I like the wide array of veggie options and the food is super fresh. yes it kind of looks dumpy from the outside but it's really a great spot read more

I've passed by this restaurant many times but never really stopped by to check it out, finally I came and I'm actually impressed by the food, as it doesn't look too great from the outside but never judge a book by its cover. They have some traditional HK style dim sum and Taiwanese style rice and Chinese dishes. read more

Great authentic Chinese food. The building is old and run down but the food is out of bounds. There is no equal to their hand pulled noodles! Even in San Fransisco China town. Perfect texture and wok cooked to perfection. Also try the five star chicken or shrimp if you like spicy. Here's a picture of both! read more

Chiang's Gourmet Restaurant - Shanghai Style Hand Pilled Noodles, Five Star Shrimp - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Food was actually good despite the outside looks really old. We ordered an alternative of the spicy fried chicken cubes, the fish version. I think it tastes better than the chicken. It is not on the menu, so you need to ask them to make it. read more

I used to like this place, and decided to give it a try tonight. Suffice to say I was deeply disappointed, and honestly feel ripped off. Almost $100 spent on mediocre food that seemed overcooked, overly-breaded, and just genuinely cheap. The Peking Duck was a mess, with overcooked skin and flour tortillas instead of fluffy white buns. The sweet and sour prawns was just a box of deep fried shrimp, and no vegetables of any kind. I asked for "no onion", but I assume they left both green pepper and pineapple out as well. The worst offender by far though was the small size Wonton Soup. I'm enclosing a photo of what I got for my $9.00. Yes, that is a single wonton, suspended in about three oz of bland broth. This trip to Chiang's Gourmet felt like a visit to a bad Chinese buffet, I will not be back. read more

Chiang's Gourmet Restaurant - Our happy family . Thank you! - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Do not be fooled by the outside appearance! This place is an absolute gem. The food is one of the most authentic Chinese I've had in Seattle. They are also one of the few places I've found that serve "Chinese breakfast" (non dimsum) meaning the fried crullers (油條), sweet soymilk (甜豆漿), salty soymilk (鹹豆漿), stuffed rice rolls (飯糰) not to mention delicious 流沙包! Make sure to go on the weekend during the morning/lunch time to enjoy these! We've also had their zha jiang noodles which are amazing. Very qq noodles and great flavor. Another item we've been able to find here that is more unique is stinky tofu (臭豆腐). If you're wanting to have authentic delicious Chinese food this is the place to go. Also, just fyi, it is an older restaurant decor and all inside, but very clean. It's definitely in our rotation for good eats! read more

I ordered chicken fried rice. I have been a long time customer and thought food was high quality at a reasonable price. After pandemic prices went up which is understandable. My fried rice had 4 tiny pieces of chicken in it. It tasted good but wasn't worth the price. Like Joe Biden once said it's the age of shrink-flation. Would not recommend anyone. read more

Chiang's has been on my list for a looooong time! We finally went a few weeks ago. It doesn't seem like much from the outside but don't let that fool you. They have a huge parking lot, which is nice! They were pretty busy when we came but service was fast and friendly! We ordered: Steamed dumplings- These were okay. I love dumplings so I am going to enjoy them no matter what but they weren't anything special, just standard. Home made pan fried noodle- These were really good! I definitely recommend them. Huge portion and so tasty! Twice cooked pork- I'm pretty sure this is what we ordered. It was super crispy pork and it was delish! I recommend this dish too! The duck- This was the WORST duck I have ever ordered LOL it wasn't peking duck, I think it's the duck with veggies on the menu? For one, it was not crispy at all. So maybe it's just boiled? I have NO IDEA! I ate one bite and that was it. It was full of bone and cartilage and like the texture of a 1/2 cooked duck. IDK, I would not recommend it tho (see pic). Anywho, I was impressed with Chiang's! I would go back just for the the noodles and pork dish, that would be the best dinner everrrr!! So good! read more

Consistently delicious and flavorful food! A true hidden gem for amazing Chinese food in Seattle. Both the dim sum and the lunch/dinner menus are excellent. The staff are very kind and willing to give recommendations if you are unfamiliar with menu items. read more

If you're looking for bland food that attempts to mimic Szechuan, this is not the place. It's pretty flavorful here. It's not a greasy meal that leaves you feeling gross afterwards either. I only get take out from here, but I always tip 20%. I don't tip because of the service (which is fine, nothing special), I tip because they provide great food in Seattle where there's much ti be desired. read more

Been going to Chiang's forever! It comfort food and, in my opinion, it's the best place to have Chinese food. Have celebrated special occasions there numerous times and it's my go-to whenever out-of-town guests visits. The owners recognizes us a lot of the times and they have recommended dishes for us to try. Regardless of where I am, Chiang's will always be at the top of my list. It's just delicious food all around. read more

This place has changed hand when the original owner retired but menu and staff pretty much stayed the same. It explained why there are so many repeat customers. It is the northern style Chinese cooking and you will be lucky if you can find a good one in Seattle. Food are good portion and come out piping hot, try sample a little and live a little rather than indulge yourself with a single item. Price is more than reasonable. Small parking lot and fills up quickly. Will repeat in a heartbeat when in the area. Enjoy. read more

Always good. Salt and pepper chicken, hand shaved noodles and garlic green beans are my staple.

This restaurant's food has gone down so badly compared to the old days. I ordered a Pan fried Vermicelli Singapore style which you can still see the curry powder on the Vermicelli with a sandy texture. The Taiwanese Bean curd sheets tasted like some dried rubber toys. Even the sauce looked diluted. Really disappointed at this place and will never go back. Sad. read more

I am going to change my review after having a lunch special today. To go and extremely well priced at $7.15 ( w/tax) and that included soup, rice and your protein. I ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken and it was cut nice and not all over fried like others do it. I attached a picture. The fried rice was tasty and sauce on side . The young man working was having a hard time smiling and didn't seem like he wanted to be there but he could have been having a bad day, we all get them and he wasn't rude just wasn't thrilled to help me. The soup was super salty like it was last time but good. A strong 3.75 meal rounded up to 4 stars ! read more

We had a late lunch here today - Five star chicken, string beans, Walnut prawn and Pig intestine hot pot. Every dish is delicious and authentic. We throughly enjoy the food and the service was great. Even though there was only one waitress working, she was very attentive and made sure we got everything we needed. I drove by this place all the time and never once tried it, now I know what I have missed all these years. I definitely would come back and try their other dishes. read more

Family chose Chiang's for our Mother's Day lunch. We were greeted and seated quickly. We ordered our usual such as a variety of soups to start - two egg drop, 3 hot and sour and one won ton. All were hot and tasty. Our entrée's included Fried Noodles and chicken, Mongolian Beef, Beef and Broccoli, Dry Sautéed String Bean. All were excellent- flavorful and good size portions. Already craving a return visit. read more

Fantastic Chinese comfort food. I tried a big variety of foods from handmade noodles to potstickers, roasted duck, shaobing, etc. I mainly ate Northern Chinese or Tawainese dishes but they also do Cantonese and have dim sum on the weekends. The portions are big and not expensive. The quality of food is much better and bigger than name brand restaurants like DingTaiFung or DoughZone. I highly recommend this restaurant. The staff are very friendly too and I had a great time eating here! read more

We've been Snappy Dragon fans for a long time, but this Christmas we decided Chiang's Gourmet is really where it's at. This week we tasted their potstickers, mu-shu pork, chicken and vegetables with black bean sauce, and sauteed green beans. All were delicate, well-seasoned, and delicious with excellent texture as well. A pure delight! Just be sure to give yourself plenty of time between ordering and picking up. They are very busy. read more

Chiang's should be considered a neighborhood classic. Throughout the pandemic, this has been the one restaurant we routinely come back to. The staff is so nice and they're extremely helpful when ordering and feeling a bit curious to try something new. PLEASE COME HERE, PLEASE SUPPORT THEM. When you do, please make sure to order: - Sweet and sour pork CHOP (this part is key, make sure it's the chop. This is not the neon red sweet and sour pork that you can get, but shouldn't. This is the better tasting version). - Sichuan eggplant - Sichuan fish with noodles - Spicy green beans And then ask the staff for tips on rounding out your experience. If you order the above, you will not be disappointed, I guarantee it. read more

Have driven past this place for years. Decades. Finally decided to give it a try with friends of ours, having read some decent recent reviews. For us? Meh. Let me say first that our server was wonderful, and very patient as we asked all of our questions. I would give her 4 stars for sure! It wasn't horrible food, but it wasn't anything to come back for either. We had a vegetable dish (basically only broccoli since they were out of green beans and other veggies), kung pao chicken (not bad), a noodle dish of some kind (not bad, but not impressed by the noodles - maybe they weren't the homemade ones) and I had the 5 star spicy chicken from the Szechuan menu that I'd read about in all the reviews. I was SO looking forward to trying this! But. It wasn't very spicy. At all. The breading was okay (but not spicy) but the chicken inside the breaded "nuggets" was almost nonexistent and what chicken there was, was so, so dry. I didn't eat much of it, and took it home (they put it into a box with ALL the peppers and chili pepper flakes/crisp which was perfect). Eaten cold the next day for lunch it was way better, for some reason - and spicier, probably from sitting in the chilis overnight. Still not sure I'd want to go back though. read more
