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.

About half the items were a-ok, the other half were fine and I would order it again (Garlic Pea Vines, Boiled Spicy Beef, and Hunan-style Soy Fried Rice). But the dish of the night was the Clay pot Bamboo shoot Pork Trotters and Chicken soup!!! That was sooo flavorful! Service was ok, we did come during the busy dinner rush hour, and they were really busy for a weeknight. Regardless, I want that Clay pot Bamboo shoot Pork Trotters and Chicken soup - it would be so comforting when it's cold!

The Bravern does have its own underground lot that the restaurant will validate parking for and I'd say you can definitely walk in on a weekday no problem. The restaurant did seem extremely short staffed with service being extremely slow. We ended up taking more than 2 hours for dinner just because the amount of time it took to place our orders and wait for our food. Overall, the menu is a mix of American style Chinese food and some more traditional dishes. Most of the dishes were made well advance, but you can really tell. The Peking duck was insanely dry and the braised pork belly also wasn't braised quite long enough. The sweet and sour chicken wasn't super crunchy, but the flavor was solid; though I will say, the blueberries were just warmed blueberries on the plate and didn't add anything. The mushroom truffle fried rice was pretty delicious though as was the complimentary soup with the restaurant week set. TLDR food is a bit expensive with some standouts, but generally slightly subpar. Service is insanely slow.

The food was pretty good, a lot of flour to meat ratio in my salt and pepper chicken and lots of onions too. The flavor was excellent though. The hot beef chow mein was real excellent and the combo friend rice was okay. The deep cooked potato has good flavor, to me was undercooked and I am not sure if that's how the dish was supposed to be. The place was clean but the tables were a bit sticky, not to bad just a bit. I have come here a handful of times now, but only for to-go. This was my first time dining in. I have had other dishes to go and so far I have enjoyed them all.

The last two times I've come here for lunch there were many tables empty being saved for groups and no seats were available for some time. Today was standing in line behind another small group for a long time with people stacking up out the door. Almost half the table space was empty and then people just start coming in past us and sitting down. They had saved space for 30 people!! I told others in line where to get just as good Szechuan food nearby and some of us left. They make ok food usually but not good enough to wade through these groups that monopolize this place at lunch leaving smaller groups waiting.

They gave a good selection of food on the menu that you order on the tablet though a handful of items are missing pictures. Food tasted fine but imo can use more flavor less oil. Dishes were served in an acceptable speed since it's a family-style restaurant, you'd want dishes to come out at more or less the same time or quick. All in all, a solid experience.

Frying Fish has a lot of room and so many tables. Even on a Tuesday night, the restaurant was…read morealmost, if not all, full and packed, but I never noticed anyone waiting for too long. Everything was very flavorful, but oily. Some of my favorite dishes here are actually the vegetarian ones like the string beans and Eggplant With Hot Garlic Sauce, which were some of the oiliest. The mapo tofu doesn't have my ideal flavors, though, since theirs is focused on that Sichuan red oily sauce rather than more bean paste that I like. The Feiteng Alive Fish wasn't too bad as long as I didn't take too much oil. Luckily, they also provide a slotted spoon with this dish. I don't usually like smoky flavors, so I didn't like the smoked duck or the pork in the cauliflower dish which tasted like bacon (but the cauliflower is fine). I didn't get much meat out of the duck either, so it was disappointing how lean it was. The Basil Beef With Ginger Sauce is one of the better non spicy meat dishes.

This particular restaurant has limited seating and was crowded, but there were a couple of tables available so we decided to finally try it. You get a really big soup bowl to fill w/ your favorite ingredients ( large assortment of : veggies, seafood, meats, mushrooms, tofu and noodles). Then you pick a soup broth. They charge $15.99 per pound for selection of food. Once your food is cooked in broth, they call your number and you pick up your bowl of delicious soup. (I chose "bone broth" and my dining partner chose mushroom broth) They have various sauces and dipping condiments, hot sauces, cilantro, scallions , etc to choose from too. They serve slices of watermelon while you wait for your soup and have soft serve vanilla ice cream to end your meal. Will definitely return to try more!
