Hakka House is a hidden gem with great vibes for authentic Taiwanese comfort food. I ordered the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup along with the Braised Beef Tendon and Beef Brisket, and both dishes were outstanding. The broth in the noodle soup was rich, flavorful, and clearly simmered with care, while the beef was tender and packed with flavor. The braised tendon and brisket were equally impressive, perfectly cooked with that melt-in-your-mouth texture you hope for in a traditional Taiwanese dish. What really made the experience special was the owner, who is from Taiwan and incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can tell there is a lot of pride and authenticity behind the food. The portions were very generous, especially considering the fair prices, making it one of the best values I've found for Taiwanese cuisine. If you're looking for authentic flavors, hearty portions, and warm hospitality, Hakka House is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. read more

Hakka House - Taiwanese beef noodle soup (left) and Braised beef tendon and beef brisket (right). Happy customer in the back - Taiwanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

This place has officially become a new favorite for my family. Almost every single dish we tried was fantastic. The only one I wouldn't bother with is the wonton soup, the broth was extremely bland, and the wontons tasted heavily of celery. If you're a celery fan, you might enjoy it, but if not, definitely skip it. Everything else, though, was genuinely impressive. The tofu dish came out sizzling hot with great flavor, and every plate we ordered hit the mark. As far as the interior, Hard to believe this used to be a Mexican restaurant, you'd never guess from how polished and inviting it feels now. Remodel looked great. Old place was darker vibe and this is much lighter. The servers were wonderful too. There were plenty of them, they took great care of us, and they walked us through the menu since it was our first visit. My kids have already asked when we can come back, which says it all. read more

I think this is the third iteration of this Hakka restaurant. It used to be across the street before moving to Bellevue near Uwajimaya and returning to across the street from its original location. The menu is somewhat similar and super delicious. I am half Hakka so I can definitely say the dishes reminded me of home cooking. All the dishes are incredibly delicious. The Hakka style fish filled with rice wine sauce is a standout too. Service is wonderful and very attentive. Definitely will be back in the near future. Two thumbs up read more

The place was packed when we got there but they managed to seat us. They had some complimentary soup for us. Also I loved one of the servers, I think maybe Min. She was so sweet and was telling us the history of Taiwan. The food was pretty good too. We'll definitely come back. read more

I'm so glad to find this restaurant again in the Eastside! I used to come to its older location, Eastern Pearl, before it moved to Bellevue, and I loved the dim sum and breakfast items. I visited this restaurant last Wednesday, and was impressed by the great service despite coming in an hour before closing. There was plenty of seating, and a complimentary bowl of lotus soup was served before ordering our dishes. My family and I ordered 5 dishes (pan fried buns not pictured). All the dish portions are family size, and tasted like home. I was most impressed by the spicy chicken dish. It wasn't spicy, but the chicken is super tender while also having a nice, crispy breading. The sauce was amazing, kind of like a sweet, garlic with a light soy sauce flavor. I felt like I could keep eating the food even after feeling full! I also loved the silverware/plating! The dishes are like large flower petals, and the individual plates and utensils are minimalist. The dishes are a little pricier than I like, but worth the great food and service. I'll be coming back again! read more

We visited on Friday evening, with three adults and one child, and it was a very nice experience. We arrive and were seated right away, the place was almost completely full. Water was brought quickly, in a tea pot, but it took a bit to get a waiter for other drinks. We started with appetizers; Pot Stickers, Meat Dumplings, Scallion Pancake, Guo Gee, and Pan Fried Buns. They were all tasty and well prepared. From there we had Hakka Spicy Crispy Chicken, Hakka Beef, and Crispy Duck, along with white rice. Everything was excellent. The service was good, but sporadic. The bussers kept the tables cleared of dishes, but there were times when we had to wave down waiters to check on drinks and delayed items. Overall, excellent place for Chinese fare. read more

Very happy they're back in town - I went on their closing day when they were still in Bellevue a couple years ago. Food is still as good as it was, the lunch sets are good value and I loved the Beef Chow Fun, the free soup that came with it, and the Beef Noodle Soup. I also got the stuffed tofu on a sizzling plate and my friends loved the onions on that dish. Service is typical of that of a Chinese restaurant but they are efficient and attentive. Food tastes very authentic and I have never ordered something I didn't like from there. The Dim Sum tastes very fresh and would recommend trying some of the dim sum. Vibe feels very authentic and almost like you're back in Asia. They have youtiao on the weekends with soy milk! Will be a regular here, have already gone multiple times since opening! read more

My family decided to come here because they heard this place just opened a while ago and it's good. It wasn't as busy when we got there. Sitter pretty quickly. Idk why, they put one person in charge of pushing cart that is below average of slow. Where there are a few servers that are free to assist lol. That dim sum cart lady took a while to do a 360 loops. The staff are friendly. But just a little bit on the slower side. Overall, portion control can be a little bigger on some entrees. Dim sum portion are fair. This place didn't wow me for their dim sum. Maybe another time. read more

Happy to discover this new gem! If you are walking to the restaurant, there isn't any signage visible on the street at the moment (the establishment's name is above the sidewalk awning) but it's next to Palmer's and has an adorable wooden door. We were seated quickly, which felt lucky considering there were parties at nearly every table. Service was fast, and possibly a little disjointed as three separate people asked if we wanted water as they walked by. Cannot find any fault in their attention to customers! The owner stopped by a few times while we ate, too, to check on us. He is super friendly, and obviously loves his restaurant and what he is doing. I think nearly every table had an order of their stuffed tofu, and for good reason. It's delicious! Order a bowl of rice to eat with it- I like the practice of setting saucy food on the rice and letting it season the bowl, the sauce is too good to waste on a bare plate. (My sister lived in Hong Kong for a few years and was very impressed with my photo of this dish- I think her exact words were "Yeung tofu?! That's hard core." It's not often you find Chinese food this authentic here, as the owner was proud to point out.) Our second dish was the Hawaiian noodle cake with crispy guo gee. The noodles were thin wheat noodles that had been cooked before being set in a hot pan to crisp the bottom. I really loved the mixture of crispy and soft, it's not a dish I had heard of before. The noodles were topped with chicken, pork, shrimp, five-spice BBQ pork, and broccoli in a brown sauce. The guo gee were square wonton wrappers filled with seasoned pork and deep fried. Delicious meal, and we will definitely be back to try more of the menu! Their weekend dim sum looks like a yummy thing to look forward to. read more

Great service and loved the Taiwanese beef noodle soup! The soup had lots of flavor and the noodles had a nice bounce to them. It was a large bowl and very filling. The lunch specials look like they come with many smaller side dishes as well. There is plenty of seating and on a weekday for lunch we were seated right away. As soon as we sat down, we were served a small bowl of complimentary lotus root soup and brought hot water/tea. read more

We go to Redmond all the time and had no idea this place had opened up. There are plenty of Chinese places in the area, but we were so excited to see a place serving dim sum. We have found it difficult to get our hands on good dim sum despite all of the Chinese places unless we go to the International District in Seattle. We ordered some dim sum to go as well as congee. This place also has classic Taiwanese food, which we are quite excited to try when we come back. Very friendly service, and we were able to order, which can be very difficult at a dim sum place. They do not have a huge dim sum menu, but what they do offer is excellent. We tried the fennel and shrimp dumplings, the crispy chive (with shrimp) dumplings, the red bean and sesame balls (a classic!), steamed pork buns, and steamed sponge cake. Best dim sum I've had since we went to ID and even perhaps better than that since we'd never had fennel and shrimp dumplings anywhere else before. Highly recommend. read more

Love this restaurant the owner and his staff are so nice. Food is delicious as well. We ordered 3 new dishes tonight, steamed beef tripe, hakka pork burger, and Hakka salt & pepper pork knuckle. All 3 dishes were very tasty. Will definitely be back to try more dishes read more

I seek out places that offer Hawaiian style cake noodle with crispy guo gee so I was so happy to hear that Hakka House opened in Redmond! It was indeed super ono (delicious). We also ordered the salt and pepper knuckles which was tasty but I wish they offered their salt and pepper pork during dinner service (they offer it for lunch) Service was friendly, fast and very attentive. read more

My quest for excellent Chinese food is finally complete. My takeaway order was everything I hoped for. Friendly fast service at the door. After a brief 20 min drive the food was still hot, flavorful, and crispy. Honestly everything was delicious. Not one bad dish of the bunch - but tops was the sizzling black pepper beef ribs. Kalbi rib style. The beef was tender and perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of pepper. My only regret was not dining in. The place was buzzing on a Thursday night. Hakka House is my new regular. Call to order. No online ordering yet. read more

Good food l! Came first an early dinner on Friday with three kids. Parked in the free lot a block or two away and walked over. Service was good and waitstaff were attentive. Has a family owned feel but definitely was nice and cared for. We ordered the stuffed tofu, crispy duck, chicken feet and gou gee. Tofu was stand out and something I would get every time I go here. Everything else was good but would want to try other stuff. Prices were on the higher side but portions were good. read more

Coming to Hakka House feels like visiting an old friend or relative that cooks comforting home cooked meals. The owner, Charlie personally welcomes every single patron with a smile even during peak lunch hour, and he makes sure you're situated with steaming pot of tea while you wait for your sumptuous lunch to be prepared fresh straight from the kitchen! The bento style lunch specials great with your choice of entree (I chose the Hakka crispy chicken!) and comes with several yummy sides like tomato egg scramble (so nostalgic of my childhood!), sliced radish/beets, cabbage mix and a heaping scoop of steaming white rice. I also ordered the Abacus Seeds, a taro dish that's not easy to make and hard to find in the States in general so I was excited to find it here! It was yummy with lots of woodear mushroom and snow peas included. Beef horfun was good as well though I would've liked a bit more meat included. I will absolutely be back to try the stuffed tofu and lion head meatballs next! read more

Came in to try their lunch specials. Ordered the beef noodle soup plus dim sum add-on. The soup broth was thicker and more flavorful than I've had at other restaurants. Also had more chunks of beef than I'm used to getting. Service is typical for Asian restaurants which I'm perfectly fine with. I'm not Chinese but I think I know what other reviewers mean when they say their food tastes authentic and homey. Will return to try their other offerings. read more

So happy Hakka House is back. Our old favorites: Weekend - Shaobing You tiao with Warm Sweet Soy Milk - Taiwanese Donut in pan fried flatbread. Char siu Buns - BBQ pork buns Cumin Lamb - not too spicy, my kids love it Stuffed Tofu - Not too salty, very yummy. read more

Very good food and service. I didn't know what to expect coming in but this place rocks. We got the sautéed water spinach, house fried rice, and soy flavored chicken with basil. Everything was good. We definitely intend to return. read more

Delicious and fresh. They cater to my partner's special needs (allergies), and serve great food.

The Hakka owner prepares Hakka dishes rarely seen overseas, such as Hakka Taro and Hakka fish slices with fermented rice wine. The cooking techniques are meticulous, but the seasoning is overly mild, making the Hakka flavors less pronounced. The dining environment is very clean, the owner is very down-to-earth, and all the staff are very welcoming. This is a Taiwanese restaurant worth checking out. read more

Service is not bad but the dim sum is meh. I have eaten a lot better dim sum before. Pricing is okay though for that area. Decent vibe with carts pushing out since most places don't do that anymore. Also the pricing of the menu and the final product differs. I believe the fried dough was $2.50 but they charged me $3 instead - not a big deal but we love pricing transparency. Update menu if pricing is updated. read more

I disagree with Jason L's point of view. This is extremely unfair, especially to the servers pushing the dim sum carts. A closer look reveals that the cart wheels are faulty. Add to that the limited space and the need to carefully push the carts to avoid burning customers--these are all challenges they face. Before resorting to personal attacks or complaints, please consider the server's perspective. Only then can you truly understand the difficulties they face, instead of making unfair accusations. It's clear she works very hard and already tries her best. Be kind and treat others the way you want to be treated. However, the food tasted so yummy. read more

Very nice to have them in the neighborhood! We've enjoyed both takeout orders and were able to try: stuffed tofu, mixed seasonal veg, crispy spicy chicken, Chinese broccoli in garlic sauce, shrimp egg roll, stir-fry noodle with barbecue meats, generals chicken chicken. The generals chicken is thin strips and has a heavy battery. I assume they same style prep for their sweet and sour chicken. It was a bit chewy, but the sauce had good flavor. For the shrimp egg roll, the focus is on the shrimp, and the simple sweet and sour sauce paired nicely. All vegetable dishes were well prepared. We enjoyed the garlic sauce. Crispy spicy chicken is worth getting and for takeout, they packaged the sauce separately. Very thoughtful. Stuffed tofu, very comforting. Will order again. The noodles were fine. Well prepared and the proteins were cooked wonderfully. It is a mild flavored dish. I like the remodel they've done, and the service was friendly during pick-up. read more

If you know you know and so glad to see them back open now! Great food, great staff!

Incredibly authentic, family-made food. Everything tastes incredible and the staff is very nice and attentive. Redmond needed more food options, so to have Hakka House here is a gigantic upgrade for the neighborhood. read more

Hakka House - Pork stuffed tofu - Taiwanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

A new place in downtown Redmond. There is public parking that is free for 2 hours a couple of blocks away. The food was alright. I am not sure what the hype is about. Hakka food seem bland to me. We ordered the Hakka special - tofu with pork (ok). Hawaiian crispy Gao Gee noodles (ok) as well. Salt fish fried rice (good) is the better out of the dishes we ordered. Starting tip was 12%. We waited a good 30 minutes. Stuffy inside. read more

Charlie always has the best dim sum chefs. Food is awesome, service is fantastic so happy they are back

Their food is amazing! We had takeout two nights in a row this past Friday and Saturday because one time wasn't enough. I had crispy chicken with spicy chili oil one night, then walnut shrimp with some dim sum and green beans. Awesome place, I can't wait to try more dishes. Best Chinese food I can remember having. I'm so happy they're in the neighborhood! read more

We were very excited to see Hakka House back on the Eastside!!! Absolutely love the House Special Cake Noodle and Hakka Pork Belly. All their dishes are tasty and servings generous.
