    We stopped in here after going to watch a World Cup game and were luckily able to snag a table. Even though it was busy service was quick and everybody remained friendly. The Mongolian beef and the garlic string beans were my favorite dishes that I tried.

    It was pretty busy here in a Friday when we stopped in. They were able to find us a table near the back though and the service never stopped being quick and friendly, including with several helpful suggestions for some of the pickier eaters in our group of 3. I really liked the mapo tofu and I'm glad I got it. It wasn't too spicy but it was still pretty good.

    Tried Gan Bei Eatery and Bar and it was just okay. We ordered the Hunan spicy chicken and the daikon beef brisket. Both were decent, but nothing particularly memorable. Coming from Asia, the flavors didn't quite stand out. Service was friendly, which we appreciated, though it could have been a bit faster. Decor was quite cute particularly around the bar area. It's okay spot overall in my opinion.

    Very good rice rolls and orange chicken! Came here with two friends around 4:30pm and were seated right away. They've got a full bar and tons of food options. Got the xo rice rolls, pea vines with garlic, fried chicken with gravy, and the pea vines with garlic. Everything was delicious but I was sadly pretty full still before arriving. Would be back, and hoping to try more things on the menu!

    Gan bei is an absolute favorite of mine. Dive bar ambiance. Impeccable cuisine. Everything on the menu is extremely fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. I am addicted to the beef XO chow fun (dry). I love coming here on a karaoke night with friends, but also just for a casual dinner. Karaoke usually starts up around 8pm on Mondays + Thursdays, just fyi. Most nights it seems the kitchen closes around 9:30pm The fried chicken here is insane. Crisped to perfection and i love the gravy and rice combo. So much meat on the bones too. The garlic broth pea vines... I could eat a whole plate of them just to myself! The only 2 dishes that weren't quite my favorite were the pork claypot and mapo tofu. But I am very satisfied by the rest of the menu! Also.. the peanut butter Hong Kong style French toast is an absolute must try for dessert!!

    Freshwater Eel Claypot

    Gan Bei is a small bar in iDistrict serving stellar bites! Do note that because it's a bar, they will card before allowing you in regardless of whether you order any alcohol. Went for a late dinner after 9PM on a Saturday and there were still plenty of seats available. Menu is really extensive for a bar - honestly would put some regular Chinese restaurants to shame. Thai Chili Wings (4/5): Crisp didn't hold up as much as I wanted to with the sauce, but came out piping hot and the sauce rides the line perfectly between sweet and salty. Chicken and Gravy (4/5): Nice, salty crunch with juicy chicken inside. Definitely one of the best meal sets you can get in Seattle and the gravy packs an extra savory punch. Freshwater Eel Claypot (4.5/5): Unlike most claypots, this version almost feels fresh and fragrant with tons of green onion throughout. The eel is super delicate, not fishy at all and just tender bites folded into the fluffy rice. Surprise hit and definitely a must try.

    Went here and overall it's good, has a nice chill causal vibe. Service was nice friendly and quick. I don't know if I'd come here for the food specifically but seems like a good place to hang and drink. Got there right in time for happy hour and ordered off that menu. Overall the orange chicken was nice and had a good crunch, I would skip the calamari bc I just didn't feel like it had very much flavor, the chili wontons were good but nothing too special and the green beans were good but I like them more crispy. For a bar vibe, the food is pretty good tho but not worth just to come and not get a drink

    Rice rolls chicken wings

    We came during a Saturday night which happened to be their 6 year anniversary. The staff were prepping for a buffet menu but we came just for the rice rolls and wings. The order came out fast but the chicken wings were undercooked. We let them know and they made a new basket for us. Overall good food, service and vibes. Probably come back just for the rice rolls only tho.

    Orange chicken with rice
    Susie G.

    Stopped into this local dive bar for happy hour and realized they have it available until 6 pm Monday-Thursdays! I was immediately greeted at the bar and provided with menus for both dinner and happy hour. The bartender was friendly and answered questions that I had about the menu and even offered recommendations based off of what I was in the mood for. The orange chicken and white rice tasted delicious! It was a great portion for a happy hour snack. I recommend this establishment if you're searching for a unique place in the International District with great happy hour specials!

    Cockroach in my chow mein at Gan Bei
    P W.

    Gan Bei is a cute little place in terms of decor, and the service itself was fine, the waitress was nice. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. They had chow mein as their special menu item, which is what I took home. The food seemed decent at first, until I discovered a dead cockroach mixed in with the grease near the bottom of the chow mein. At first I thought it was just a red pepper flake that accidentally got into the dish. But when I flipped it over with my fork right before eating it, I saw the legs and everything, it was unmistakably a cockroach. I even turned it over to confirm (I really wish I had taken a photo of that as well). After realizing what it was, I immediately threw the food away. What made this even worse was that my partner and I had already eaten most of the dish before discovering it at the bottom of the container. I almost threw up when I realized what we had likely been eating around. Now we're left monitoring for symptoms like nausea, stomach issues, or anything else. In all my years of eating out, this is the first time I've ever found a cockroach in my food from a restaurant. I'm still debating whether it's even worth contacting the restaurant since I already threw the food away--I was honestly too disgusted to keep it. And even if they offered to remake the dish, I would never want to eat their food again. If it were possible to give 0 stars, I would. I will never eat at Gan Bei again.

    Great vibes here, especially on Karaoke nights, however, their food isn't that great. Their traditional clay pot was the best dish for us. It came with Chinese sausage with soy sauce on some of the rice. However, it was $19, and for some rice and Chinese sausage, I thought that it was expensive. The orange chicken was good as well. It was flavored well and crispy, however, I thought the portioning was a bit small. We also had their beef chow fen noodle which was okay, the noodles and beef were too salty. We had their Thai chili chicken wings too and it was okay. It lacked flavor which was disappointing. But the chicken was crispy and cooked well. The service was okay. Some employees were nice, others not as much. The food did take quite of time to make. The ambiance can be great on karaoke nights. Otherwise it's a decent place to eat food with some friends and chill. There's limited seating though.

    Right when walking in I knew the vibes were right. So glad they were involved with the Chinatown International District food walk. The music was so fun and just positive vibes. On some of the tables they had little games which was cute and fun. There was a pretty big bar and the menu was quite delicious. I was so impressed by their french toast and how crispy it was but also doughy on the inside. The condensed milk on top was the best touch. Would definitely come back:)

    A Dive Bar with local vibes and delicious food. I come to Gan Bei every trip back home. Derek and the crew are always a vibe. Im usually showing up on a Thursday night which is Karaoke night. Drinks are reasonably priced, but whats even better is the food. Some of the best fried chicken can be found here. Comes with a side of gravy but spice it up a bit and ask for a side of the Szechuan chili oil and mix that in there. I've been so many times and cant name a dish that wasnt good, so anything that you order here will be on point. Clay pot, chow fun, season stir fry veggies, etc. All a W . If you're looking for a place w a bit of the local soul and good food n drinks check this place out.

The curry looked a little questionable at first--don't judge a curry by its color--but it tasted great. The 腸粉 was thicker than I expected, but everything else was enjoyable. The milk tea and 鴛鴦 were right on par with what you'd want from an HK café, and the prices felt reasonable by current Seattle standards, which is almost its own five-star category. No complaints overall. I'd definitely come back--just maybe leave 30 minutes early for parking.

The Chinese name, 全記麵家, has little to do with the name Mike, but is nevertheless an excellent choice for anyone in the area. The staff is very Cantonese through and through. It is a cash only establishment and their menu is heavy on the noodles, be it in soup form or dry. There isn't a ton of room for large groups, but the turnover is quick and thus the weights are usually quite minimal. Service is very good overall and super friendly. I would highly not recommend using their bathroom, as it's tiny, cramped, and not in the best condition. The noodle soups vary from wonton noodles to fishballs. They also specialize in beef brisket and fishballs, making this feel like a bit of a Hong Kong style cafe. Most of the soups average out to be $14-16, depending on size. It's a joy to watch them assemble the bowls in lightning quick fashion. Wontons are excellent. They're plump with just enough skin for texture and are complemented by a fragrant soup and very little skimpage on the noodle (#1). The large dumpling (aka "sui kau") is an excellent wonton alternative for those looking for similar textures. The beef brisket is tender and they also have a dedicated section for just congee. There aren't a lot of places like Mike's anymore, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second for an opportunity to come back. In fact, I'll make sure it's part of the Seattle rotation (#2) for whenever I'm back. __________ (#1) Read: very good portions. (#2) Unless of course, I'm on my way to Vancouver BC.

    H Bistro 3.8/5…read more Food - 3.8/5 Quality: 3/5 Portion sizes: 5/5 Flavor: 3.5/5 We ordered the staples like chow mein, house fried rice, angus beef, and my personal favorite: the honey walnut prawns. To start, the portion sizes are amazing. When I saw the waiter pull out a whole vat of fried rice, I was already nodding in approval. They're big and make you feel like you're getting your money's worth. The quality of the food I would say is slightly better than average. While the fried rice and noodles were great, the shrimp used for the honey walnut prawns had that rubbery/synthetic mouth-feel, so docked off some points for that. Taste-wise, the noodles and rice were pretty light and a bit bland, which makes sense why the soy sauce tasted extra salty. Use it as a good counterbalance. I doused that rice in soy sauce and sriracha because it was me, but if you're not a fan of bold flavors and are looking to lose weight (but still love fried rice), it may be more up your alley. Honey walnut prawns were buss (not minding the texture thing), and the angus beef was seasoned to perfection. I'll take 3 more plates of that angus beef if not for the fact that my dish was 1 part beef and 3 parts zucchini. Would've preferred more beef for a dish that was 23 bucks. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the zucchini dish with a side of beef. Water tasted like tea and and not the other way around. Service - 4.3/5 Hospitality - 4/5 Speed - 4/5 Wait times - 5/5 Nothing too remarkable here. It's a family owned restaurant so the vibes were very homey. We got seated right away because we were loitering outside the door before the open sign turned on. Wait times were fine. It took roughly 15 mins for everything to be pushed out, with the fried rice being the first dish to land on our table. Hospitality was average. The waiter checked in on us a few times and asked if we needed refills for our water, but that's about it. I enjoyed saying hi to the occasional kid who popped in the shop. Design - 3.25/5 Interior: 4/5 Exterior: 2/5 Neighborhood: 3/5 Amenities: 4/5 Outside is mid, but the inside is lit with decorations and fun lights. Again, very homey and easy to navigate around the place. Neighborhood is the CID which can be shady at night, but we went during the daytime so it was chill. Just look over your shoulder every once in a while and carry pepper spray. Bonus points because the trip to the bathrooms didn't feel like going to the backrooms. Overall, food was semi-buss, waiter said hi, I didn't get jumped, the inside wasn't a liminal space, and the bathrooms wasn't a trip to the backrooms. 7.6/10.

    Their eggplant and cod fish clay pot was delicious. Decent portion for eggplant. Quick service. In…read morecontrast, bathroom is extremely dirty, run down, and needs remodeling.

Walked in just after 6PM on a Sunday and got seated immediately, but by the time we left, there was a bit of a line piling up. They have a small parking lot right across the street from the entrance and designated parking under the bridge lot if you don't mind walking a bit. Beef Rice Roll (4.25/5): The rice roll was nice and thin and slippery in the best way. Ground beef is standard fare Canto-style filling. Overall, solid version of a difficult, labor intensive dish and I appreciate that you can get one all day here. Clay Pot Rice with Preserved Meat and Eel (5/5): The claypot rice here is absolutely the star. Rice is fluffy and nice golden brown crunch on the bottom. Preserved meat is just Chinese sausage, so adds fattiness, salinity, and sweetness. Eel is super tender with a thick savory sauce and nuttiness from sesame seeds. No sauce needed here. Beef Chow Fun (4/5): Good smokey wok flavor, but even for chow fun, I found theirs to be a bit too oily. A solid version and meat is nice and tender with some crunch and brightness from the onions. Roast Pork, Char Siu, and Roast Duck (4.5/5): The roast pork and char siu were perfectly cooked; almost juicy with how moist they were. Roast duck has a thin papery, crisp skin that adds a bit of crunch. Compared to my one true love Ton Kiang, the both pork options here are better and the duck just a touch less flavorful.
