The food was decent. We liked the flavor of the fried rice, the Mongolian beef was tender, we also had sweet and sour chicken and it had a nice crispness. I just couldn't get around the filth - the table cloths and even the empty tables had dirty tops. During covid when cleaning is at the forefront, and tables have been moved and separated, this would have been the ideal time to wash the tablecloths, the floors...etc. It was good enough food- but not the high stars others have given it. read more

Up north in the ID, I have my reliable Chinese spots but I had a hard time find ones comparable going South. But then I stumbled across Eat Time-- located in a small strip a couple blocks away from downtown Burien. Whether you dine in or order take out, their food is delicious and consistent! My family and I always get chow mein (Hong kong style), Mongolian beef, salt and pepper porkchops, eggplant with black bean sauce, honey garlic spare ribs, and agedashi tofu! Oh, and you can't not get a mango coconut smoothie with sago! It's so refreshing and sometimes I stop here JUST for this! The decor in here is so cute and the service is quick! When I'm in the the mood for Chinese food, Eat Time is always in my radar! read more

This place is a gem. I have been coming here for a year. They have a varied menu and everything I have tried has been excellent. I like the broccoli beef and anything on the stir fry menu. read more

Ordered take out again yesterday, but unfortunately they forgot to package one of our items. It was just a side order of white rice ($1.50). It was not the end of the world, but we realized it once we already got home and opened everything. It would have been too much of a hassle to go back. read more

I REALLY wanted to like this place. Our Go-To Chinese restaurant is on Beacon Hill. I couldn't get there yesterday so I TRIED an online order through their website. Got all the way to the end and it says.. sorry, but the online ordering is not online at this time. No worries.. I call them with everything I ordered online. I pick it up to find out the cost is more and the spring rolls were only 3 instead of six like it said online. I call them and the lady says I can only get the six price if I order online. I explained I TRIED to order online but it was down. She says sorry... she can't help me.. The food was mediocre at best. Some of my family members spit it out saying the beef tasted old. I won't be returning! read more

Wow! I didn't expect anything like this to exist in Burien. Being from LA we always lament the lack of HK cafes in Seattle. As Hk/Cantonese this place hits the spot and is so welcoming. You will enjoy and it's super affordable read more

Good chicken fried rice dish. Nice lunch specials. Never too busy. The hot and sour soup is very good.

For a place outside of Chinatown, I would have to say they make very decent Chinese dishes. I especially enjoy their beef brisket/tendons clay pot and Dai pai dong fried rice. But, I had no idea they also serve delicious drinks! So I came in today with my Dad and ordered their Mango Smoothie with coconut milk and sago, and the Hong Kong style milk tea. Also got a little snack in the form of the curry fish balls. Let me just say - Bomb! The presentation was so pretty in this tall glass with a long cat spoon! My dad enjoyed his Mango drink a lot. Said it wasn't too sweet and the sago with that coconut milk was even better than boba! Blasphemy, But what the heck, he loved it! The milk tea just tasted rich and very aromatic but still slightly creamy without being overwhelming. It's just the right amount of sweetness so that you can still taste the actual tea. The color was spot on with that orange brown smoothness. I loved that they served it in a bucket of ice to give it a slight chill. The curry fish ball - loved it! That curry sauce was creamy but not spicy. Definitely not spicy at all! But I enjoyed it regardless because that means I could eat a million of these! It's definitely a classic Hong Kong snack. It's only $4.25 for 8 fish balls served in this cute cup with tons of sauce. This will be my go to snack from now on! Restaurant has super cute decor as well with all kitty theme! There's plenty of parking because of the plaza it's located in. Give this place a try if you're ever craving a quick snack with drinks or a full blown feast! read more

Not sure how I found this place. Second time here and the place satisfies your Chinese food hankering if you are marooned on WS island. Garlic green beans, soy sauce chow mein, salt and pepper chicken wings - and small steamed rice. $58 for about three servings. They do a brisk take-out business and next time I need to try the beef Westlake soup!!! read more

I always dreaded to go out of Burien every time I craved for Chinese food. Well, it looks like this isn't the case anymore! I somehow spotted Eat Time while I was driving, but I never had the time to stop by. I got curious, went on Yelp, and was excited to see the amount of approvals from people. I finally did it: I placed one phone call to order House Special Fried Rice, Salt Pepper Pork Chop, and Braised Beef Brisket & Tendon. The hostess is friendly and polite, and she promised the food would be ready in 25 minutes. Voila! Everything was ready in 25 minutes. I came to the restaurant to pick up the order, and I was impressed with the cute interior design with stuffed animals with cutesy stuff on the wall. Food tasted on-point with the delicious fried rice and moist pork-chop. Usually, some places do the meat super dry, but I approve of this place. Braised brisket and tendon was top of the line with tender meat and muscle to chew on. Final verdict: I will come back!!! read more

We are a little late but you must check out this restaurant in Burien! It is difficult to be satisfy with everything ordered, but this place was first to change that. They have a good variety of food selection and their milk tea is pretty good as well. We left super happy and has been wanting to return for more food. Recommendations: *Honey walnut prawns (so plump and juicy!) Owner shares that the restaurant will only use the biggest prawns possible for this dish and the batter will stay light and crispy. These were the best honey walnut prawns we've ever had. Best bet I will always order this every time we are here. *Duck tongue- that was our first time eating duck tongue and definitely wouldn't be our last. They seasoned this dish so well that even when I struggled a bit from eating the tongue (took me awhile but I had it figured out lol), I just couldn't resist them. *Another must order is their salted pepper crispy tofu. So silky and smooth on the inside and crispy on the outside. read more

Honestly, I was a bit skeptical about this place because I didn't ever expect Burien to have a good place for Chinese food!!! I walked in and the restaurant is decorated with photos and decors, all very cute and inviting. The waiter was extremely helpful, patient and accommodating. He is easy to talk to and always available. He moved us to another table so we get to sit by the heat and brought us hot tea to stay warm. We ordered calamari (which was hot and fresh!) and the house special chow mien. All the food was seasoned perfectly, great portion size and not greasy. Pricing was average. I totally go back and bring my parents. read more

Found this highly-rated.Chinese place way out in Burien of all places hidden in a non-descript strip mall location. Like many of the family owned, hole in the wall places, their menu is ridiculous. There's gotta be over 100 selections with everything from stir fries, noodles, soups, hotpots, baked rice, drinks, and appetizers. These guys are overachievers! I ordered egg foo young as a lunch but was unable to eat it on a return drive lasting over an hour, but that was my fault. The egg patties were filled with shrimp and meat, but mine was cold by the time I got to them. Packed well. Good service. I will be back to try their other dishes next time I'm on Burien. read more

While killing time at the airport cell phone lot (waiting to pick up out of town guests), decided to browse around to see what is new to eat around the south end. Found Eat time and saw had a a bunch of positive reviews so decided why not check it out. It is tucked into a back strip mall and walking in, it is bright and felt like high school kids decorated as part of a pep rally. Pictures of food is hung on the wall along with random yelp clippings. Seated pretty fast and got to say, pretty decent menu. Order the chow fun, seafood tofu clay pot and pork chop in Peking style sauce (basically a nice sweet and sour). All in, it is a pretty good HK style cafe in Burien....who would have guessed?! The clay pot was full of fresh veggies and sea food, sauce was light and flavored. The pork chop was crispy, well balanced with sweet and sour and not overly sauced. The chow fun has a nice flavor to it, not too greasy. If I am ever hungry while in this side of town, you can bet I will be back. read more

My mom wanted to come here for my birthday dinner and wow. This resturant is awesome! Decoration & interior: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Food: 10/10 From the moment we walked in to the moment we left we were treated so kindly and so attentively. I love family style meals and loved how the server gave us descriptions and opinions about the dishes. Everything we ate was sooo delicious & fresh. I definitely have to come back and take more pictures. One of the owners said they didn't have any pictures for the menu yet but I'd be more than happy to take some with my camera next time I come:) Definitely recommend! read more

Tried here for the 1st time, they have some authentic Hong Kong style food. Saved us some driving time to Bellevue. Their congees are good enough but lack of some traditional ingredients that offered from Chinatown or in Hong Kong. Their Sampan congee did not have any fried wonton or fried fish skin, cilantro, ginger and scallions. I understand some ingredients or topping are optional, but they are the 'icing on the cake' - An attractive addition or enhancement for your food. Their Hong Kong style coffee tasted much better hot than the iced one! All of their take out containers are styrofoam that many restaurants have stopped using. Maybe is due to recovering as a restaurant post-Covid (money is tight - for paper take out containers?). read more

Great experience here, very surprised to find an authentic (or traditional) Hong Kong style restaurant in Burien of all places. The food is decently priced, not expensive but not cheap, you get a good bang for your buck here. Food can take some time to come out but you can tell it's because everything is made to order. Everything tasted super fresh. Service is very friendly and attentive, which is very uncommon in my experience for traditional asian cuisine (i.e. the ID district). Oh, and my stomach was just fine the next day so the establishment is sanitary :-) I reccomend highly to give this place a try. We had their fried rice (the first one on the menu, it's their special), the spare ribs, beef and broccoli, congee, and mushu (sp?) pork w/pancake. Cons: the pancake with mushu pork is a little tougher than the pancake wraps in Beijing and Hong Kong (not a fair comparison) and the fried rice needs less grease. read more

Well, like I promised, I went back to try more dishes. This time, we ordered Beef Chow Fun, Mongolian Beef, Salt & Pepper Crispy Tofu & some more Duck Tongue! The Beef Chow Fun had a decent amount of beef and fun (noodles). Also, the wok flavor was strong, so that's a plus. The Mongolian Beef flavor was tasty, not too sweet nor too salty. The beef itself was nice and tender. The Salt & Pepper Crispy Tofu was on point! Crispy on the outside and silky smooth on the inside. The Duck Tongues were just as delicious; however, they added a handful of cilantro as a garnish this time. That gave it a slightly different taste but overall, still good. The wait time wasnt as bad as last. We did take-out this round and it took about 25 mins for all our dishes. Not bad! Also, the portions had gotten a little bigger than before. The service was super friendly as usual. Overall, I want to say, 5 stars!!! Definitely will be going back to try more dishes! read more

I would imagine this is the very very first Hong Kong Style Cafe in this neighbourhood! (I may be wrong) Yes, Burien, you have now joined the rest of the towns & cities in N. America to have the Hong Kong version of the Japanese Style Yoshokuya! Food is typical of the Hong Kong fair in this kind of set up, where they try to offer you "everything" literally almost everything (well, you get what I mean). Thats why my ex-boss really hates going to these type of restaurants when we have office lunches, as he would really need almost 30 mins. to read through, ask all the question and then decides on which items to have! Oh well, Iuckily I am a bit better, I usually know what I want... Beef Brisket & Tendon Noodles, House Special Chow Mien, Baked Pork Chop in Tomato Sauce on Rice and last but not least Salted Pork & 1000 year old Egg Congee. I have to say everything we ordered was on the spot! With the Chow Mien being the most outstanding! I asked for skipping the BBQ Pork, and they kindly obliged. As we were having our meal, the young owner and other customers where chatting and later we also engaged in the conversation and found out that two good friends opened this small restaurant to fulfill their dreams, both in their early 30's with young families! They also have friends from their previous jobs coming in at busy times to help with waitering! Seeing their enthusiasm and hard work, I sincerely wish them all the success! read more

Well this is a sweet little restaurant, thoroughly decked-out in Hello, Kitty-ish decor. We started with the green onion pancakes, which were served with plum sauce. Yum. Next came pan-friend dumplings, which were pretty good but not amazing. I had the braised pork belly, which came with several bao. Let me be honest here. This is a good dish to share, but it's an overwhelming amount of pork belly for one person. My enthusiasm for the dish definitely tapered once I hit the halfway point. My dining companions were all pleased with their dishes. It's not a five but a truly solid 4. We were staying that night across from the airport, and Eat Time was a short drive away. Very convenient. I'd return. read more

We usually eat here twice or three times a month before Covid and the food is really good and fresh. Instead of ordering to go, we decided to eat in last week. There was no other customers but us. Menu is still the same. We were surprised that the waiter brought to us flimsy paper plate, forks and spoons the ones that are small and cheap that you can't really pick up your food with. Forgot to take a picture of it. We ordered our usual. Everything came out on thicker paper plates: House special chow mein: it was mediocre, very skimpy Honey garlic spareribs: it was good; Shredded pork and string beans: the green bean tasted old and moldy. Honey walnut prawns: It was drenched in mayo Pork congee: too salty. It seems like they don't care or they have a new chef? Brought it to the attention of the waiter about the green beans all he said was he'll let the chef know. When we asked for our bill and after paying, we noticed a fried wonton was added to the bill. When questioned the waiter said he mistakenly added to ours instead of the "to go" order and he couldn't remove it since his manager wasn't in and he can't open the register. Told us to come back to get the refund. What the heck!!!?? Left very unsatisfied with our overall dining experience. Will DEFINITELY not go back. read more

Everything we had was so good! Especially loved dipping the Chinese pancakes into hot & sour soup!

This is a great spot for take out. They are extremely quick and the price to food is amazing for seattle. The duck was made exceptionally. The walnut shrimp could have slightly been separated from the sauce to keep the crispiness and the sauce maybe better fresh but was slightly off from the best I've had. The beef clay pot was slightly tough and I think it could have been broken down a little more. read more

Really easy take out service! Review of each item we ordered～ Honey walnut prawns: classic, just wish seafood wasn't so expensive! Almond chicken: I would choose something else next time; this was just tasteless fried chicken (however, it tasted better when dipped into the sauce from our beef dish) Vegetable egg rolls: I don't love egg rolls, but these were decent! 3 per order. A nice *CRISP* when you chomp into them Salted pepper crispy tofu: we stan a good tofu dish (with lovely garlic and seasonings too, MM) Ginger and onion beef: good taste with really soft onions Mandarin style green beans: our favorite, gotta have this every time we get Chinese Rice = 1 family-sized portion. Glad we went with just the 1 portion! Overall $83. This fed our ravenous party of 6 quite well! (no leftovers bc we shameless like that) Did not get to try any HK desserts, which was a bummer. The toast looks soo good in the pictures! read more

This place is always so good when I'm too lazy to drive to Chinatown even though it's farther for me to drive here. Logic man.. the staff has always been very nice and helpful when I've eaten here and same as now with to go. I've had other dishes beside the ones I'm posting like the baked spaghetti. It's almost comparable to a purple dot when you're starving. Flavors are all there and servings are fairly large. Definitely a great addition to burien. read more

Good family spot but not much in the way of excitement. Great for family dining and takeaway.

First thing I noticed when walking in was all the asian decorations on the wall and shelves. The place was clean and neat. We ordered the salt & pepper pork chop, house special fried noodles, baked mix steaks over rice, shrimp fried rice, they all tasted great. The drinks came with little ornaments on the glass, which was a surprised because you don't see many Chinese restaurants do that. Overall was great.

Ordered takeout during COVID. I had the salt & pepper chicken wings + shrimp w/ lobster sauce. The former were excellent--juicy meat, crispy skin, the correct amount of seasoning, etc. However, at $10 for a serving of 7 wings, I find this to be a tad expensive, so deducting a star for that. The lobster sauce was good, about what I expected: nothing spectacular, but not bad. I do wish there were a bit more "sauce," as most of the dish was congealed around the shrimp & veggies. Alas, consistency on lobster sauce is always difficult to find. read more

Didn't love it. Generally I live for a greasy Chinese place, but this was not it. The General Tao's was...cakey? Almost like a hush puppy. The sauce wasn't great. Rice doesn't come with any of the dishes. Think twice about spending your hard earned dollars here. read more

I ordered two classic Chinese dishes: walnuts prawns and congee. Prawns: excellent flavor and cooked well! Sauce was also spot on. However, I am accustomed to having some vegetables with it when this fish is cooked, despite the restaurant I go to. Congee- pork and preserved salted egg. Looks very plain as you can see. Indeed, it tasted like plain congee with small amounts of egg and trace amounts of pork in there. It's normally a saltier congee because the egg and pork give it flavor, which was extremely lacking in their version of congee. read more

We went out of our way to try this place due to the ratings. Not impressed, the sweet and sour pineapple chicken had no pineapple, but it was good. The chefs special chow-mien had no flavor, the BBQ pork was cold. What really is s big facto is it's dirty the hot sauce and soy sauce containers were really dirty, the waiter picked something off his shoe then still made drinks. The restaurant needs a good cleaning. When you walk in the host/waiter says take out? No then he says SIT that part was funny but he was not very friendly at all. He does not even ask the food is or anything he's just stoic on the rude side. It's just not even close to a 5 star for me. Won't ever go back. read more

This place is a really nice spot in Burien if you're craving Chinese food. Overall, the food was alright. The orange chicken tasted really good but was cooked inconsistently. Some of it was tough and burnt, yet some of it tasted tender and great. The rice I had was alright, I ate it with soy sauce and enjoyed it but I wouldn't say I noticed anything notable. The sweet and sour pork with pineapple was my least favorite. The way they cooked it was odd. The pork was over cooked and insanely crunchy, honestly hard to eat. I ended up not finishing that part, but I enjoyed the pineapple portion. I think that for the price, this is a good place to eat and overall, the flavors were excellent and I would go again. read more
