I think I've had everything on the menu! The #1 place I would recommend to someone visiting Seattle area. Been coming here since high school. Literally amazing every time read more

I came here with a starving, eye larger than stomach co-worker. We (mostly she) ordered 7 dishes for 2 people!!! LOL! Of course, I had to take a bunch home. We ordered Garlice Pea Vines with garlic, Tea-smoked Duck, Hot and Sour shredded potatoes, Grilled Pepper with Century Egg, Boiled Spicy Beef, Hunan-style Soy Fried Rice, and Clay pot Bamboo shoot Pork Trotters and Chicken soup. 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! read more

Stopped in here this last weekend with some friends for dinner. We got there around 4:30 and it wasn't too busy yet. That changed significantly in the next hour as there was a line out the door. Parking is at a premium and you may have to walk a little bit to get to the restaurant. Ordered the shrimp, fried rice and sweet and sour pork. I always have used fried rice as a good gauge of authenticity. The shrimp fried rice did not disappoint. Huge servings of shrimp and it was cooked without soy sauce being added so you could add it to taste. The sweet-and-sour pork was a generous portion, and I had a side of rice with it. It was flavorful and sweet and the pork was not overcooked. Great job. Also got an order of honey walnut shrimp. Generous sized prawns were used and they were delicious. I would recommend this for someone looking for an authentic Chinese experience read more

I chose this place to gather with friends today. Although it's called a Sichuan cuisine restaurant, it actually incorporates many elements of Hunan cuisine. Environment: The setting is very nice, with large tables and relatively comfortable seating for everyone. It's clean and hygienic. ‍ Service: The staff has a great attitude. They offer dining suggestions, introduce dishes, and provide advice on pairings and other details. Taste: I only took photos of a few dishes. The "Spicy Beef Trio" includes beef tripe, beef tongue, and beef aorta--by the way, the "aorta" here isn't the throat, but the aortic blood vessel of the cow. The flavor doesn't have the traditional Sichuan aroma, and since the three main ingredients are all foods with dense fiber, they don't easily absorb the seasoning. Clay Pot Tofu: This dish features salted egg yolk flavor, though the taste isn't too strong. I'd suggest steaming the egg yolks beforehand--reheating each ingredient can double its aroma. Signature Fried Rice: Packed with ingredients, with distinct grains. It's a fairly decent dish. As the foremost of the Eight Great Culinary Traditions of China, Sichuan cuisine originated because China's vast territory made it difficult to preserve many spices and ingredients. The use of heavy oil, heavy salt, and bold flavors was actually a way to mask certain imperfections to some extent. The cuisine is characterized by its numbing, spicy, and bold flavors. The sensation of spiciness doesn't travel through the same pathways as other tastes--it's actually a form of pain, which is why younger people tend to enjoy it. read more

Solid Sichuan food - we enjoy the dry pot cauliflower, tofu dishes, any of the lamb dishes, the shredded potatoes, and the variations on whole fish. We also have ordered takeout a number of times; it is reliably good. The kitchen does an admirable job of modifying spice levels depending on the preferences of the diners, too, which I like (we dine regularly with kids who can't handle anything above mild). Service is fast and efficient; food is always piping hot. The one item that has been hit or miss for us is the tea smoked duck - the smoke flavor is consistently prominent, but sometimes the duck flesh is too dried out from reheating. read more

Dan Gui Sichuan Cuisine - Dry pot cauliflower - Szechuan Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Came here on a Friday evening, and there was no wait. The dishes come with regular spicy level, but you can request it to be mild or extra spicy. I think they are pretty authentic. My favorite dish is the cumin lamb, which goes with rice very well. The baked fish has either the frozen fish or fresh fish option for extra fee. The portion sizes are big. Ambiance is nice and good for conversations. read more

I came at around 5:30pm on a sunday and was seated right away (party of 6). Service was relatively fast and the food was pretty yummy. My favor dishes were the fish and eggplant, though the eggplant was a tad salty. The chili chicken pieces didn't have a lot of chicken in them, so the amount of oil was overpowering. The tea-roasted duck wasn't my favorite either. It wasn't dry but I prefer the flavor of a classic chinese roasted duck over this. The peavine was standard and not too old (not too fibrous). read more

Not sure if everything was authentic Sichuan style but overall really friendly service (who gave honest recommendations and could tell you what's in season versus not), great price for the portion - my favorite dishes were the pork belly and a choy - the toothpick lamb was over cooked and chewy read more

My little dude loves this place, which was weird to me because he's quite picky and the dishes aren't like traditional American food in almost any way. Don't get me wrong, I like it too, but it was quite unusual for him to go so hard for a place that isn't "cheeseburger and fries". Good stuff Dan Gui. Keep it comin. read more

- delicious squirrel fish - We ordered the squirrel fish 松鼠龍利魚 and the sweet and sour pork 糖醋里肌 for takeout tonight, and I picked them up around 5:30 pm. The restaurant was 60% full at that time, and there were 3 other takeouts waiting to be picked up. My experience here has been great, and I especially ordered stuff here since not many restaurants in Bellevue sell the squirrel fish. For some reason I just really want it for the lunar new year lol. They provided a separate container for the squirrel fish sauce, and I think it's definitely a dish that you need to enjoy in the restaurant. It's still great but it's just not the same. The sweet and sour pork was good and crunchy, but the two sauces were too similar, which was my fault. Overall I enjoyed the food here, and I really miss their chili mixed eggplant & preserved egg. It's something that I crave for every once in a while. read more

It wasn't at all what I was expecting. The food here is authentic, delicious and soul satisfying!!! Everything we ordered was piping hot amd made fresh. The noodles were the best I've ever tasted.. hands down. Service is quick and the staff is attentive. It's a family friendly environment so it's a little loud. There's a lot of parking in the complex so you don't have to worry about that. I am craving to try some more of their items. read more

If you're looking for authentic Sichuanese food in Bellevue, this is it! I've been searching for a good mapo tofu ever since moving here and between this and Shaoshan Impression I've finally found it. At other restaurants in the area, I've always been a little disappointed by how little flavor makes it into the tofu, but the one here is super flavorful and tastes so authentic. If I had any feedback, it would only be to make it a bit spicier, because it wasn't very spicy at all (this is why Shaoshan puts up a good fight, lol). Aside from that, I also really enjoyed their scallion pancakes. I came with a bigger group so I can't remember everything we ordered, but I'd love to visit again and order even more of that mapo tofu. 10/10, would recommend! read more

Located in the 520 Plaza, Mercury's coffee shop, this place looks small from the outside, but it was spacious on the inside. You're greeted by friendly staff and a kiosk to add your name on the waiting list. There are 3 round tables for big parties (8-10 maybe), a couple of tables for 6, and the rest are for parties of 4 or less. There are 3-4 booths toward the back. We arrived a little before 6 pm and the place was in full swing. We had to wait 5-10 minutes for a table. Menu had pictures, which was great because some of the names of the dishes are not familiar to us and sounded a bit off-putting, like "saliva chicken" (but the picture looked good so maybe we'll try that dish next time). There was only 2 of us so had a hard time narrowing dishes because we wanted to try a lot more! Tea Smoked Duck - love how you can taste the smoky flavor! The skin was crispy. Very different from the usual 5-spice roasted duck we have occasionally. I highly recommend this dish! Cumin Lamb - served on a sizzling plate, thinly sliced meat full of flavor! Definitely not shy with the cumin! But in addition to the cumin flavor, I enjoyed the flavor nuances -- one bite and I tasted ginger, another bite had roasted garlic, and another had a hint of star anise or some fragrant seasoning. This dish has heat and you can see it from the red chili peppers, but the heat wasn't overpowering. Not to us at least. :) Another recommendation! Garlic A Choy - not sure what A Choy is but it reminded me of Choy Sum. In any case, it was very tasty! Special Fried Noodle - chow mein noodles, stir fried with shrimp, beef, chicken and veggies. Another tasty dish! The Garic A Choy and Special Fried Noodle were nice balance to the flavorful duck and lamb dish. I recommend all of them! Service was great. Food came out quickly after ordering. Will be coming back! read more

Top notch Thai Food and just the most friendly, amazing staff! Highly recommend pre-show dinner spot!

This is a spot that I am longing to return to at some point or another! We ordered the cumin lamb and the water boiled fish and both dishes were really packed with flavor. The cumin lamb would have to be my favorite and I liked how it was served in a sizzling plate, which added a nice little crisp to the taste. The space inside is really nice and clean, it feels a little upscale. The menu is also expansive and it includes dishes I would love to try from here in the future like their squirrel fish or grilled fish. read more

Food had complex flavors with layers of spice. Waiter recommended the lamb and it was amazing. The egg drop soup was a little wired. It seemed like it had too much cumin or something. The rest was great, both traditional chinese and American. Service was fast, polite and efficient. Definitely would go again. read more

Decent enough and pretty cheap sichuan food. A few dishes were way too salty for me ( Dan Dan noodle , twice cooked fish ). Pepper chicken had a good flavor but wasn't meaty. They do prepare dishes incredibly fast. Great service as well. read more

Have gone here for lunch and handful of times and it hits the spot both because of the lunch menu and it's fairly priced at about $15 for decent sized entrees. Dan Gui is real deal Chinese food, or at least appears to be. The majority of patrons here appear to be Chinese, and a lot of the menu is in Chinese. Also the offerings are different as opposed to the more Americanized Chinese fare we know and love. I've had both the Kung pao chicken and the far and wide favorite General Tso's lunch entrees here and both are good. The Kung Pao Chicken has a lot of different flavors going on and includes nuts, and a slightly spicy sauce. The General Tso's is very flavorful and doesn't have as much of crispiness as the usual General Tso's you'd expect. I kind of like it. Service is fast but not as personal, perhaps language barriers being a possibility. The restaurant has plenty of seating and even on the lunch visits I've made with lots of other patrons, they're still a few tables open. Solid authentic Chinese food overall. read more

With a group of 4 we tried the Chongqing Grilled Fish, Garlic (Stir-Fried) Peavines, Cumin Lamb, and Chili Chicken. And it all smacks. If you want the burn and cleaning of sinuses that Szechuan food typically brings, this place will accomplish that along with a bunch of great savory flavors. The Chili Chicken was definitely tables favorite dish and could eat a lot of this dish. With those 4 orders, we had some leftovers and were left comfortably full. Would definitely come again. read more

My daughter and I have been here for lunch two times. The first time I was impressed I even joined the restaurant club and thought for sure this would be a favorite. I'm not sure if there was a different chef or if perhaps you've changed ingredients but the sauces were just off. Too sour, no spice, no umami. There was a gentleman server today who was super nice and attentive, (he wasn't our server except for one item) but the ladies who were working today seemed annoyed when we placed our order. And when they stepped over to clarify the orders we placed through the app-- they made no eye contact and absolutely no smiles. Totally disappointing. read more

We got 5 dishes: - Sweet & Sour Pork - grilled Japan tofu - assorted dry pot - cumin lamb - stir fried beef Dangui is one of our go-to Chinese restaurants in Bellevue besides Spicy PoPo. These 5 dishes are definitely our go-to dishes. I really like getting some spicy dishes like the lamb along with sweet dishes like the tofu and pork. read more

If you're craving bold flavorful Chinese food, Dan Gui in Bellevue is the place to be! Yes, the weight can be long, but trust me it's absolutely worth it. The food is incredible. The energy is lively and exciting and the experience keeps us coming back for more. We come often for the smoked duck, and it never disappoints the rich, smoky aroma, crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat. Make it a dish we dream about between visits. But that's just the start every dish we tried was outstanding. The noodles are a must order! The perfect mix of savory nutty and spicy flavors with just the right amount of Szechuan peppercorn tingle. The Mongolian beef is tender, perfectly sauced and packed with flavor a true stand out. The sweet-and-sour chicken is a kid approved favorite the crispy batter Tangi sauce and juicy chicken make it impossible to resist. We also tried beef noodle soup, which was deeply flavorful melt in your mouth and springy noodles and beef fried rice Ma Po tofu which is a spicy umami Pack delight! The silky, tofu and bold pepper sauce makes a favorite for spice lovers Dan Gui is bustling lively and always busy and that just adds to the experience! The kitchen works at lightning speed so the dishes come out steaming hot and fresh making it exciting to see what everyone else is ordering. All the food comes out rapidly. The follow up service can be a bit slow when you're needing refills or extra requests. But honestly? The food is so good that's easy to overlook. Final verdict- A Bellevue Must-Try! If you're looking for authentic flavors, exciting energy and the menu packed with amazing options Dan Gui is a fantastic choice. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait, but once you take that first bite, you'll know it's worth it. Highly recommend! Can't wait to go back for more smoke tea duck and Dan Dan noodles!!! read more

My family and I enjoy Dan Gui pretty frequently! It's been a couple months since I last came though and the beef and squid were both quite tough this time around. It feels like the beef might have been cut the wrong direction of the grain maybe? And the squid is usually hard to get right, but I was hoping it'd be a little more tender. Overall though the flavor is delicious as always and we had a great meal. Service is quick and responsive, and there's always a great energy in the air from all the groups eating and having a good time. Clean and lively! read more

OMG! Our newly most favorite Szechuan Chinese restaurant in the greater Seattle area! It's ALWAYS a testament to a fabulous restaurant when you're greeted in the native language of the restaurant and just about EVERYONE you a see there are Asian! LOL (ok... out of 16 tables, I saw ONE family of four that weren't Asian!) We ordered soooo much food in anticipation of getting to bring home fantastic leftovers! We ordered stir fried green beans (干煸四季豆), fried buns (奶油小包), tofu and fish (稻花鱼), spicy chicken cartilage (辣雞軟骨), fried noodles (炒面) and sake rice ball (九娘芝麻球) for dessert! Everything was fantastic and we happily brought home leftovers from their large portioned dishes! read more

This is now my go to Chinese Restaurant in Bellevue area. They have great authentic dishes, but also really good westernized Chinese food. Which I also enjoy! The service is quick. Like lightning quick. Almost magic! I'm surprised how quick it is sometimes. Friendly to non Chinese speaking guests, as well as kid friendly too. Really enjoy how they can cater and accommodate to everyone! Food is oily. Just like how the Chinese intends it to be! But delicious! Delicious fried rice, delicious fried fish, delicious honey walnut prawns, delicious spicy egg plant, delicious Japanese egg tofu. Menu is vasstttttt! And everything seemed so good. And portions are definitely family style! Come in bigger groups! And come hungry. Or be prepared to pack leftovers for the next meal. But that's always a great thing imo. Always looking forward to coming here with bigger groups. So I can try more things. Nom nom. Highly recommend! read more

Everything was delicious! We love our meat dishes but I have to say the green beans was my friends and my favorite! Cumin lamb is a must get. It's a bit salty and oily but honestly pretty common when you eat out in general.

The restaurant passed my cleanliness standard! read more

Good food, a little disorganized in wait lists and seating/serving, overall quick food service, and very sichuan. By very sichuan I just mean pretty much every dish has heavy sichuan 'numbing' pepper in it. I love it as does my wife, but the kids not so much (it isn't really hot, the numbing just makes water taste weird :D) We generally get green onion pancake everywhere we go. This is a pretty standard one but with a little more flavor and oil than others. It didn't come with any dipping sauce though we had plenty to soak up in the dishes. I wish it was the thicker doughier style but I'll keep searching. Family approved. The beef and tofu dish, and the beef noodle soup tasted pretty much the same due to the spices used. Flavorful, kinda oily but that is to be expected. The egg tofu was smooth like custard, but doesn't take up much of the sauce flavor directly. The beef noodle soup was good (again, if you like that flavor) but a chewier noodle or hand shaven would have really set it apart. It was pretty much spaghetti... Though it grabbed the sauce and flavor well so it did work. The last fish was sweet and sour pork, as we tried for something more kid friendly. It was cooked well, thicker meat than in many other places, flavorful and not too thick shell, and sweet sauce. I'd say a little too sweet as near the end of the meal it started to harden into almost a thick caramel but just eat faster! Oh, the appetizers were good! Flavorful wood ear mushrooms and spicy potatoes! read more

Came here last night. The place was packed which is a good sign. They have a sign in and text system which works for me. Their food cleanliness score is just ok (posted outside on the window) and although the food was clean and I had no issues the pitcher of water on the table looked kinda gross ngl I wouldn't drink from the pitchers. No big deal tho I didn't come here for the water. The sweet and sour pork was great, instead of clumpy mushy balls they were thin strips which allowed for a much better crisp/carmelization ratio and a better taste and texture than most sweet and sour pork's. I really wish every Chinese restaurant did their chicken dishes this way. The spicy boiled beef had a good mixture of spice mixed with the minced garlic and seasoning on top was really flavorful. Shrimp fried noodles hit the spot for my Americanized Chinese taste as well. Overall I found this place better than Tian Fu. Lots of authentic dishes but also stuff for the white folk lol read more

Authentic Sichuan. The fish fillet was huge and not overly spicy. The fried chicken was a delight; a bit too much batter. The dessert bread was fresh and hot; really enjoyed it.

I'm on a mission to go to all of the restaurants on Eater Seattle's 38 essential restaurants and this place is one of them. My fiancé and I are not big on Szechuan food but we wanted to see if maybe we can be open to new types of food. We got the special fried rice, chicken wings, Dan Dan noodles, and mapo tofu. The mapo tofu and the Dan Dan noodles were good, but we're just not our type of dishes. The chicken and wings and the fried rice were good. We're open to coming back and try their other less spicy stuff next time! read more

Mid-size Sichuan restaurant in one of the plazas along Northup Way. The inside looks bigger than the storefront would indicate. Clean, simple interior. Was there for an earlier lunch on weekend, and didn't have trouble getting a table. Seems to have filled up but not completely full when we were done. Menu is large and has plenty of offerings, mostly spicy as expected. They have photos for most of the dishes in their menu, which is appreciated. We got the vine pepper fish fillet, the dry pot pork rib for dishes, and asked for low spice. Also got their special fried rice for carbs and their fried mantou (buns) for dessert. Portions are generous, especially for the fish fillets and the fried rice. Both the fish fillet and the dry pot were plenty flavorful even with low spice levels, and also had plenty of fish/meat. The fried rice was milder in flavor, but they put in plenty of ingredients like chicken beef and shrimp. My fave might be the fried mantou though, since the mantou was very fluffy and soft on the inside with a nice crisp on the outside. Dipping it in condensed milk makes for a nice dessert. It was about $70 total, which wasn't too bad considering we had plenty of leftovers. One of the best Sichuan restaurants I've been to in the area. read more

Yummy Chinese Sichuan cuisine and the quality is consistent. Great customer service and clean environment.

We put our names down at 6pm for 4 people on a Saturday and had to wait about 30 minutes. Pretty good! But everything is on the not so spicy side. So for me, that was a minus but it might be better for you if you prefer that. read more
