    It's a bit like boiling point if you get the hotpot. There is a huge selection if you want to make your own though. There are other food options too. You order online through the QR code and pay through there too. The interior was alright. Nothing too special it's pretty casual. The popcorn chicken was good and I really like the mantou (fried buns) with the condensed milk which I believe is pandan flavored? The hot pot was definitely filling though and had many things in it.

    Beef Noodle Soup

    Everything here is so good. I came here during Seattle Restaurant Week and was already planning on coming back before I finished my meal. The restaurant has a casual ambiance (with a strong bamboo theme that I thought was fun) and the service was very attentive. Food -Taiwanese spicy: Perfect amount of mala flavor and great mix of various toppings. I loved that the hot pot is single-serving instead of a shared style so that people can order different things or just eat their own meal. -Beef noodle soup: Broth was very flavorful without leaning too heavy on a spice. Hard to go wrong with this one -Spicy wontons: Yum! Surprisingly juicy fillings for a non-dumpling place -Taiwanese pork bun: The pork was cooked perfectly and the sauce it comes with is so good -Custard bun: The custard is amazing without being too sweet -Mantou: Came out perfectly warm and delicious

    Loved the make your own hot pot option! The miso sesame broth was delicious. Next time I will request that the bowl be presented without the fire underneath, so that I can eat it quicker and because I did not enjoy the scent of the fire. Fast and friendly service.

    Taiwanese Pork Bun was so good. I packed the remaining qty 1 to go. Still so good the day after.

    This place reminds me a lot of Boiling Point except only better! Because they have alcohol!! Of course, I was also very pleased about the whole experience here because of the following - 1. Their service was super nice. The waitress even came out of the store to point me to where the parking lot was when I called so I could park for free! FYI - free parking across the street of the Crawfish King. 2. They put a lot of ingredients in the pot! My mom ordered the Herbal Bakuteh hot pot which came with two huge braised ribs and many quail eggs. I ordered the Miso Sesame hot pot which had shrimps that were very good sizes and also chashu. I didn't need to order any additional meats. 3. The green tea that came with the hotpot was in a container that could be carried away (not a normal bubble tea cup though but better IMO). We ordered more to-go as well as asked for boxes for the remaining food. Their materials for these to-go boxes and bags were not cheap. Their menu has extensive selections from appetizers, main dishes, desserts, and drinks, to hot pots. If you are hungry for some Taiwanese food, this is def the place you need to try!

    Delicious! I'm so glad I decided to come here before my flight out of Seattle--what a meal as a send off! There's not a lot of Taiwanese food easily available in Austin so I had to get my fill in Seattle. I really enjoyed the braised pork over rice! The pork was delicious prepared very well and the pickled veg was a nice accompaniment. I also had the popcorn chicken which was fantastic. The basil and five spice flavor is delicious. The chicken was fried well. The green onion pancake (with egg) was also yummy. I thought it was a tad doughy but overall delicious.

    Braised pork belly over noodles
    Brian T.

    So my wife and I went to a Yelp event at Gourmet Bowl, and we decided to come back because we thoroughly enjoyed the food. We were crossing our fingers that the food at the event wasn't a fluke. Well, as proud Taiwanese people, this place serves pretty dang good Taiwanese food. It's just sad that it's around the outskirts of ID, for it should be getting more publicity and recognition than some other nearby existing restaurants. My wife and I ordered quite a feast here, so we got: Braised pork belly over noodle Beef noodle soup Fried intestines Pork blood I don't even like intestines that much, but when I had it at the Yelp event, I was enthralled. I couldn't stop eating it. Well, today was no different, and the intestines were solid. Not everyone's cup of tea, I understand, but it was so good and crunchy. For my braised pork belly, the noodles were actually really favorable and delicious, and the veggies were great too. My only qualm was that the meat wasn't cooked very well, and it seemed like it was older meat - pretty sinewy and tough. The beef noodle soup was very similar feeling. The soup was actually really nice and there was a nice little kick to it, and the noodles were good too. Problem was the meat unfortunately. My wife demolished the pork blood, as that not my favorite Taiwanese xiao chi (little bite). All in all, really solid place that deserves more recognition and love. My wife and I both nodded to each other in agreement that this is probably the best Taiwanese food in the Seattle area (Facing East in Bellevue doesn't count, and it's really good over there too). Definitely worth a try!

    Luckily I found this gem for Seattle Food week, because they're offering delicious food and good prices year round! They offer a wide variety of Taiwanese comfort foods like hot pot, scallion pancakes, and of course Taiwanese beef noodle soup which was perfect in the cold weather! The beef broth was light but still packed with flavor, the slices of beef were tender but had a nice bite to it, the spicy wontons on the side were small but mighty dumplings, and the mantou (fried doughnut with condensed milk) wasn't overly sweet and rounded out the meal!

    TAIWANESE PORK BUN (3PC)
    Brittany W.

    It was a cold rainy night and we were in the mood for some hot spicy soup, and ended up finding this place on Yelp. There's only street parking available, but it isn't near the center of the ID, so we were able to find parking really easily out front. There was no one else inside when we arrived so we were seated right away. We ordered the pork buns to share and each of us built our own hot pots. The meat in the buns was a little soggy and lacked seasoning, so it was underwhelming BUT the hot pot was delicious. The broth had just the right amount of spice and there was a lot of food for the price (definitely worth it to build your own). Overall the meal was really inexpensive (we were pleasantly surprised) so we will definitely be coming back and building our own hot pots again!

    Pork Intestine and fried Salted Pepper Crispy Squid
    Wendy K.

    Came here for lunch with friends on Friday. My friend treated us he's friends with the owner. I'm going to save the last star for when I dine here on my own and pay myself. Our friend was giving us a little background Taiwanese cuisine. I was going to get the chicken katsu but after hearing they're known for their braised meats I changed to the braised meat combo. Very glad I changed my mind the meat was tender and nicely caramelized. Would definitely order the bowl again one of my friends had the pork chop which was also delicious tender not dry and lots of flavor from the seasoning. My other friend had one of the hot pots with no rice or noodles as he's trying to stay away from carbs. We had the Salt & Pepper Crispy Squid and the Fried Pork Intestine. Our friend wanted us to give the intestine a try since my other friend and I hadn't had it before. I enjoyed the flavor. Glad I tried it. Definitely glad I went with someone who frequents the place and gave us tips on mixing the sauces. The owner gave us complimentary egg buns for dessert. Was a nice way to end the meal.

    Vegetarian Laksa.. SO GOOD. So flavorful and satisfying.
    Terrie B.

    First of all, I gotta say this is my new favorite spot in the I.D! The floors and tables were clean, the atmosphere is nice and chill. Not too loud or chaotic, which I appreciate as someone who's uncomfortable in those kinds of environments. The service was fantastic, our waitress was so sweet and on top of making sure we were taken cared of. Yo... THE FOOD!!! My girlfriend had the vegetarian laksa and I had the sesame miso hot pot with extra yam noodles. Both were excellent. The noodles in her soup were perfect texture and the broth was so creamy and flavorful. My hot pot was everything I wanted it to be. Lunch for both of us only costed 32$, which in Seattle these days that's an affordable meal. I absolutely plan on becoming a regular here. I highly recommend to the noodle soup and hot pot lovers out there. This place is IT.

    taiwanese pork bun (gua bao)
    Michael C.

    很好吃! Seattle has some solid Taiwanese food options, but we can always use more. Gourmet Noodle Bowl does a great job with the classics. I was so happy with the braised pork belly rice (kong rou fan), which was one of my favorite dishes growing up. The rice was packed with flavor from the sauce, and the pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth perfection. I will say I was also expecting minced pork based on the pictures, and would love to see if that's an option next time. The Taiwanese pork bun (gua bao) was also great. They're garnished with crushed peanuts, so you know you're in for a good time. I will also give a nod to the takeout containers, which are made from compostable materials. Proud of my people for running a sustainable business.

    Alaina W.

    The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere with calming music and soft lighting. The service was top quality. You can tell that the chef and server care and put effort and love into the food. The jasmine tea was delicious and came in a teapot and the food was very delicious. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely go again

    The service was excellent!! Greeted at the door by the chef and he took our order and talk about service with a smile!! The service was so good that it made the food taste even better and let me tell you ... the food was extremely GREAT!! Probably the best I tasted so far here in Washington!! Absolutely will be back!! Soooo dang delicious!!

Restaurant was tidy and clean, service was very good and cordial Free parking for two hours on the 3rd floor, but a bit sketchy. The restaurant is on level 2c. Kind of hard to find cause the over the door signage says Bite of China in big letters and Pipa Mountain Hot pot in small print Food was okay portion size of meat combo was generous.

We had a reservation on a Saturday evening but it wasn't that busy. Greeted and sat right away by nice staff. It's a bit of a tight table setup but quite well organized so that each diner can operate the heat of both their hot pot and grill independent of others. Quite a genius concept really and easily learned though odd for familiar diners of each type of cooking. They had this really good stewed pork and quail eggs and a large rice cooker you can help yourself to at the bar while waiting. It was so good I had that for my dessert. A very typical Asian family dish often left on the kitchen stove that we are familiar with. The beverages are included in fridges with many soda lemonade waters and other stuff to grab as you like. There is a huge sauce bar to mix your own. Love the sesame sauce mixed with other things! And a bunch of fresh fruit to help yourself to. The hotpot had a number of choices. Sukiyaki broth looked good and our son loved it. I chose the spicy Szechuan type red broth and ordered it mild but it was still quite hot. Honestly this wasn't as tasty as other hotpot restaurants and even mine I make at home with ginger and garlic is much better. Wish I chose the sukiyaki or basic beef broth like our daughter (it was tasty too). So I gave up after a couple rounds of that and stuck to the bbq. The bbq is small with parchment paper on a steel tray but it cooks up pretty quick and nice. Great general choices with many things available. Spicy pork was not the best I've had though and that's one of my faves. Excellent beef choices and pork belly. Whole head on prawns etc. The list is huge. Overall the service was quite fast and attentive clearing dishes and bringing additional items you order from a tablet. They don't do either type of bbq or hotpot as well as others but it's pretty close and so fun to mix and match! A little extensive but if you can eat a lot it's a fair value.

When we got in, I loved the clean and open space. There was no place to sit and wait, and the waitlist was digital, but we didn't end up having to wait for more than five minutes. The menu was super confusing to me, I don't know if maybe I just don't go for hot pot enough so I wasn't familiar with it enough to knew what was going on, but it took me a while to figure out how to order, I wish our server had asked us if we needed help. My boyfriend ordered the beef hot pot while i got the seafood and tofu. Mine tasted pretty good, I got it at medium spice and it wasn't very spicy for my pallet, but I enjoyed all the different foods that came in my dish. My boyfriend ordered his hot pot at hot spice and he loved the flavour, it was pretty spicy for me, but I enjoyed stealing some of his broth for my food. We both ordered boba to go with our food and I loved my milk tea. I ordered mine without tapioca and should have ordered it with more syrup because it definitely didn't taste as sweet as I wanted. I thought the personal hot pot concept was cool, but what I love about hot pot is that it's a communal experience which makes it a fun date. It was also weird that no one ever returned to our table to check on us. Because it was our first time there, we had no idea we were supposed to go to the counter to pay and it was confusing to have to try to figure that out.

    We used to go here pretty regularly during the winter to warm up, but stopped for a few years. We…read morerecently went back, and quality has really dropped. * They don't ask for sugar level for bubble tea (I always get zero sugar), and the boba is hard (stale, definitely not fresh). They also made it in ten seconds, which tells me the milk tea is pre-made. * Service is hard to flag down, even when the restaurant doesn't have a lot of customers. * They never refill the broth, unlike other hotpot places. * Their vermicelli comes in a plastic bag, which is unnecessary and damaging to the environment. They also give you a low portion. * The broth is okay - it has flavor but not as amazing or spicy as before (I always get the Taiwanese spicy). The pig blood curd was also overcooked. * The sauce containers at the table are barely filled and are lacking the punch it used to have. All in all, pretty mediocre food for a place that used to be pretty decent.

    We first went to the 老四川 in Seattle before our son was born. He'll be 36 years old this year, so…read moreyes he's a horse. I had lived in Beijing for 8 years and spoke pretty good mandarin for a 老外 so I ordered for us. Our waitress, one of two sisters who ran the place, I call her 陈大姐, said to me, Wow, you can speak Chinese! You must be very smart! I replied, You must be very smart. You can speak Chinese! At first she didn't know what to say but then laughed. It was the beginning of a lovely relationship. However since the pandemic we had not been back. Perhaps yesterday we were in the spirit of celebrating the Spring Festival. We decided to go there. What a great choice! 陈大姐 by coincidence was working. She retired years ago. (Her sister opened another 老四川 in Bellevue but unfortunately has since passed away.) 陈大姐 immediately recognized us. She remembered our son and other family members who often joined us there. It felt like old friends getting together again. Unfortunately my wife and I were the only ones in our little group. It's better to have more people so you can order more dishes. We only got 4 dishes, 宫保鱼, 椒盐虾,干煸四季豆, 夫妻肺片。Gong bao fish, salt and pepper shrimp, green beans and "husband and wife lung strips"! Actually that's a beef and tendon appetizer. Everything tasted just like we remember. Well, the fish dish was wetter than before but still tasty. Flavors are authentic but a little toned down from the Sichuan food in China and in a few other local restaurants. The main flavor of Sichuan cuisine is 麻辣 or spicy numbing. It's not really so hot as it is numbing. Your lips tingle. Most people who didn't grow up with this aren't big fans. Their 水煮肉 or 水煮鱼 comes pretty close though. Leftovers with either of those and leftover rice plus whatever make the very best 烩饭, huifan! Just boil it. We arrived there early and there were just a few other customers eating. And they left soon after. So it was just us and a steady stream of delivery drivers coming in to pick up food to go. I would consider ordering on line like that but this food doesn't hold up well over the distance to our home. Although the interior had been remodeled since our last visit, the decor is fairly stark. Combine that with the location in a strip mall on the corner of Jackson and 12th, which has seen better days, ambience isn't a real draw. However if what you want is a very good meal at reasonable prices then you should go to the Sichuanese Cuisine restaurant in Seattle. (I prefer it to the one in Bellevue.) Too bad you probably won't get to meet 陈大姐。Now that we know the food is still great, we will return.

The dumplings needed soy which I didnt get (bad on me) and the dipping sauce all heat no chili flavor. I have had better frozen dumplings which made me sad. Will try one of the other amazing Chinese places in downtown Seattle.
