    Super salty. Will need a gallon of water to help swallow these food. Rude customer service.

    This is a little place tucked away in the middle of downtown Bellingham. You'll have to look for it and it's work the search. When you enter in, it's not fancy, even a bit underdone. The waitress is at times running frantically around helping customers. She has even been a bit short with people when very overloaded. That is when the place has a good turnout. When it's slower night. She has time to turn on her charm and charm she has! Very welcoming and attentive. Really makes you feel comfortable. I've been searching for some time and finally found a place the makes a good Sichuan boiled beef. It has a balance of heat and spicy flavor that is very hard to find. I have yet to not finish the bowl. Yes, it is that good. The waitress was surprised I had finished the bowl. Hint: I love spicy Chinese food! This is my Go-to authentic Sichuan restaurant here in Northern Washington. Just give the place a chance when it's not too busy, you'll find out why I fell in love with this little "Hole-in-the-Wall" place. *!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!* Please let me know if you like the review and click "Useful" or even "Cool" Let me know what else you would like to see by clicking the "Compliment" button, any thoughts you have are always appreciated.

    My favorite Chinese restaurant in Bellingham. Food is always hot and extra delicious on a chilly and dark Bellingham night.

    The spicy beef chow mein and the shrimp fried rice are my go-to's. My favorite Chinese food in Bellingham. Great!

    Did this restaurant close down completely? Drove by on a Friday night and the lights are out and place look close and vacant?

    No, I went last week.

    Wow, this little place does not disappoint! I'm so glad we gave them a try. First the ordering…read moreprocess is very easy and simple. Their menu is really easy to read and understand and they are very friendly and quick. They give you a buzzer you can take with you and go find somewhere to sit which is great. We decided to try the rice noodle soup with beef, potstickers and donuts. The soup was amazing. So much flavor and packed with lots of noodles and beef. You get quite a bit for what you pay for. The potstickers also had lots of flavor and was the perfect texture with just the right amount of crisp. The donuts, oh wow. These are amazing! I would come back just for these alone! They were served hot and drizzled with a perfect amount of sweetened condensed milk, they were so good. Our food came out quick and hot and for how much food you get and the quality of food you get it's definitely worth it. We will be back!

    We stopped by Dumpling Girls on a rainy, windy Saturday night while visiting Bellingham, and I'm so…read moreglad we did. The setup includes a couple of food trucks and a covered beer garden with seating. We decided to grab our food to go since the weather wasn't cooperating, but everything still tasted amazing back at our hotel. We ordered vegetarian dumplings, vegetarian fried egg rolls, chicken dumplings, pork Chinese buns, and chicken rice noodle soup. Every dish was flavorful and fresh. The soup in particular had a rich, comforting broth with tender chicken, noodles, and cabbage. Portions were generous, prices were reasonable, and service was fast. The woman working the truck was friendly and welcoming, even with the wind and rain coming down. We will definitely be back next time we are in Bellingham. If the weather is better, we will stay and eat in the beer garden. This place is a great find.
